The score of anxiety and depress were (1.98 ± 1.91), (2.16 ± 1.38) points in study group, and (4.05 ± 2.01), (5.11 ± 2.26) points in control group, and there were significant differences(t=4.722, 7.045, all P<0.05). The score of total life quality, physiological function, physiological function, body pain, general health, vitality, social function, emotional function, mental health were (77.32 ± 6.26), (89.11 ± 14.27), (78.19 ± 26.36), (82.33 ± 25.22), (60.18 ± 20.39), (55.31 ± 19.68), (80.13 ± 25.76), (72.13 ± 20.16), (60.12 ± 20.88) points respectively in study group, and (71.43 ± 5.62), (82.19 ± 13.36), (55.11 ± 23.27), (70.18 ± 25.71), (49.01 ± 20.13), (45.22 ± 18.11), (62.19±25.63), (45.23±23.02), (44.16±21.08) points in control group, and there were significant differences (t=2.134-6.621, all P<0.05). Conclusions The mindfulness-based four-step approach intervention can obviously relieve anxiety and depressive negativity mood in obsessive compulsive disorder patients. It can improve patient′s obsessive compulsive symptom, enhance the patient′s quality of life. It has important significance for obsessive compulsive disorder patients during their recovering period.

In this paper, the effect of 5% (V/V) n-alkanes (e.g, n-Heptane, n-Octane, n-Decane, n-Dodecanen-Tetradecane and n-Hexadecane) on the growth and protease production of organic-solvent-tolerant- bacte-rium Bacillus licheniformis YP1 was studied. 5%(V/V) n-alkanes had no effect on the stability of YP1 prote-ase. 5% (V/V) n-alkanes had no notable influence on the yield of strain YP1 but dramatically affected theprotease production. The presence of n-Heptane, n-Octane and n-Decane deeply repressed the protease pro-duction; however n-Dodecane, n-Tetradecane and n-Hexadecane enhanced the protease production promi-nencely. The concentration of n-Tetradecane (1%-8%, V/V) had a direct ration with the protease production.The detailed experiments showed that the notable increase of protease activity appeared at the late logarithmof cultivation compared with the blank. The cell shape of YP1 strain remarkably decreased when grown inthe presence of n-Tetradecane. This is the first report about the effect of n-alkanes on the protease productionby the solvent tolerant bacterium.

Objective To investigate the indication and value of metallic stent in the management of patients with malignant obstructive jaundice(OJ). Method The clinical data of 15 patients with malignant OJ treated in our hospital were analysed retrospectively. All the 15 patients were treated with metallic stent including cholangiocarcinoma in 8 cases, carcinoma of gallbladder in 3 cases, pancreatic carcinoma in 2 cases, porta hepatis metastasis of gastric carcinoma after radical gastrectomy in 2 cases. Result All the patients' jaundice disappeared 11-38 days after the stent placement. No severe complications or death occurred in this series. One patient had cholimia 5 days after the stent placement, which was cured by non-operative method. All cases were followed up periodically, the survival time was 30-384 days(averag 180.5 days). Conclusions Installing stent of Titanium-Nickel metallic alloy for the patient with unresectable malignant OJ is an ideal palliative therapy which is simple and less discomfortable.and less complications.The effect of reducing jaundice is satisfactory. This method may offer a new alternative method in the management of malignant OJ.

Objective To summarize the experiences in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repairing for adult patients. Methods Clinical data of 512 hernia cases admitted in our center from March 2007 to Sep 2010 were retrospectively analyzed.There were 437 cases of single-sided hernia,including 281 indirect inguinal hernia,86 direct inguinal hernia,15 femoral hernia,16 combined inguinal hernia and 39 recurrent hernia.There were also 75 cases of double-sided inguinal hernia,including 3 recurrent hernia.There were 41 acute incarcerated hernia cases.The average postoperative follow up time was(29 ± 12) months. Results 507 cases underwent successful laparoscopic repair,and 5 cases were converted to open procedure.There were 238 TAPP and 269 TEP in laparoscopic operations.The average operative time for TAPP was (69 ±19) min,and (58 ±15) min for TEP.The average length of postoperative stay was (5.0 ± 1.5) days.The percentage of resuming normal activity after 2 weeks and 4 weeks were 95.7％ (485/507) and 99.0％(502/507).The most common postoperative complications were seroma (9.7％,49/507),transient paresthesia (4.1％,21/507) and chronic pain (0.8％,4/507).The recurrence rate was 0.6％ (3/507).Conclusions Laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernia has the advantage of less trauma,faster recovery,and lower recurrence rate.

Objective To study the relationship between the neovascula rization of carotid atherosclerotic plaques with real-time contrast-enhanced ultrasonography(CEUS),plasma myeloperoxidase (MPO)concentration and cerebral infarction.Methods Seventy-three cases with eighty-nine carotid atherosclerotic plaques were examined with real-time CEUS.According to the imaging features,the seventythree cases were divided into three groups:soft plaques group,hard plaques group and mixed plaques group.The differences of the incidence rate of cerebral infarction events,plasma MPO concentration and contrast media persistent enhancement time with real-time CEUS in plaques among the three groups were analyzed.The cerebral infarction events were diagnosed by CT or MRI routinely.Results The incidence rate of cerebral infarction events,plasma MPO concentration and contrast media persistent enhancement time of soft plaques group were significantly higher than that in hard plaques group and mixed plaques group.The risk of cerebral infarction was higher in the patients with elevated level of MPO.It showed positive correlation between the contrast media persistent enhancement time and plasma MPO concentration,and the correlation coefficient was 0.838. Conclusions The type of the plaque is correlated with the neovascularization of plaques and plasma MPO concentration.The study of relationships among them can help to evaluate the plaques,stability thoroughly and guide the clinician to prevent the incidence of cerebral infarction events.

The coding sequence for the mature peptide of porcine lactoferrin (Plf) was synthesized according to the codon usage of lactobacillus, to establish optimized porcine lactoferrin Lactobacillus expression system. The gene was ligated into the Xho I/BamH I site of Lactobacillus expression vector pPG612.1 and the recombinant plasmid pPG612.1-plf was transformed individually into Lactobacillus casei ATCC393, Lactobacillus pentosus KLDS1.0413, Lactobacillus plantarum KLDS1.0344 or Lactobacillus paracasei KLDS1.0652 by electroporation. After induction with xylose, expression of the recombinant proteins was detected by Western blotting and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Secretion of recombinant Plf proteins from four recombinant species was determined quantitatively by ELISA. The antibacterial activities of recombinant proteins were measured by agar diffusion method. The result shows that Plf was correctly expressed in four species of recombinant lactobacillus, with molecular weight of about 73 kDa. The expression levels in recombinant Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus pentosus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus paracasei were 9.6 μg/mL, 10.8 μg/mL, 12.5 μg/mL and 9.9 μg/mL, respectively. Antimicrobial activity experiment shows that the recombinant proteins were active against E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhimurium, Listeria, Pasteurella. The recombinant Plf expressed by recombinant Lactobacillus plantarum showed the best antibacterial activity among all recombinant lactobacillus species. These data represent a basis for the development and application of porcine lactoferrin from recombinant lactobacillus.
