Objective To investigate the effect of scene-style education mode in endoscopic ultrasonography examination.Methods 170 patients undergoing endoscopic ultrasonography from May 2009to December 2011 in our hospital were chosen as the research object.They were randomly divided into the control group(conventional education mode group)and the observation group (scene-style education mode) with 85 cases in each group.The repeated rate of insertion,rate of complication,compliance degree,the POMS scale score,blood pressure and heart rate for the two groups of patients were compared.Results Compared with the control group,the repeated rate of insertion,rate of complication were lower,blood pressure and heart rate were lower,and compliance degree and POMS mood scale score were better in the observation group,there were significant differences.Conclusions The scene-style education mode can improve negative emotions of patients undergoing endoscopic ultrasonography significantly,it also plays a positive role in increasing their compliance degree and easing stress response.

Objective To determine the effects of a 12-week aerobic exercise program on brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity ( baPWV) in sedentary and under-exercised healthy older adults. Methods A total of 35 sedentary and unfit but healthy older adults with mean age of 74.7 years were randomly assigned to a progressively increased intensity aerobic exercise group ( n = 17) or a control group ( n = 18). The exercise group performed aerobic exercise 3 times each week for 12 weeks. The control group didn't participate in the exercise program. Heart rate,blood pressure and baPWV were evaluated at admission to the aerobic exercise program and at the end of the 12 weeks in both groups. Results The mean baPWV in the aerobic exercise group decreased from 15.88 m/s to 14.62 m/s after exercise, a significant reduction. Blood pressure in the exercise group showed a decrease which was not significant. No significant improvement was identified in the control group. Conclusions Only 12 weeks of aerobic exercise with progressively increased intensity can improve arterial elasticity in sedentary and unfit older adults.

Objective To study the effect of continuously compressive pressure(CCP) and human periodontal ligament cells(HPDLCs) on the differentiation of osteoclast-like cells(OLC) induced from umbilical cord blood cells in vitro,and to investigate the role of continuously compressive pressure and human periodontal ligament cells in alveolar bone rebuilding during orthordontic tooth movement.Methods Mononucleared cells of umbilical cord blood(HCMNCs) were separated by density gradient centrifugation,HPDLCs were isolated from human periodontal ligament by explanting enzymatic digestion with trypsin and collagenase.We also established transwell co-culture system with HCMNCs in the lower layer and HPDLCs in the upper layer.Group A: HCMNCs and HPDLCs were co-cultured with 150 kPa CCP for 1.5 hours on the model.Group B: only HCMNCs were cultured with the same CCP as Group A.Groups A'and B' were the respective control group of Groups A and B with no CCP exerted.The cell appearance was observed under the phase contrast microscope,and its identification was performed by histochemical analysis of tartrater-resistant acid phosphatase(TRAP).The capacity of bone resorption of the cell was assessed by lacunae forming ability on bone slice.Results HCMNCs in Group A began to fuse on the 2nd day,More positive multinucleated cells could be seen with TRAP staining and cortical bone pit formation on the 3rd day.Only a few multinucleated cells formed in the other groups,with no cortical bone pit formation.Conclusion HCMNCs can fuse into multinucleated OLC under CCP with the induction of HPDLCs.

Objective Hypercellularity in proliferan've glomerulonephritis can result from either increased proliferation or the failure of cells to undergo apoptosis in response to stimuli. Increasing evidence supports that alterations in the control of cell survival are important in the pathogenesis of proliferative glomerulonephritis. Methods Apoptotic cells in the glomeruli have been analyzed by the in situ end labeling (ISEL) of TdT from patients diagnosed with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN, n = 12), type IV lupus nephritis (LN, n = 15) and acute postinfectious glomerulonephritis (APGN, n = 13) in the present study. In addition, the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)-positive proliferating glomerular cells were observed by immunochemical 4 layer PAP method in these patients. Results The ratio of proliferating and apoptotic cells was the highest one in patients with MPGN (3.91) as compared to APGN (1.28) and LN(1 .02). The extends of increasing apoptotic cells in the glomeruli were different among patients with MPGN,, APGN and LN, although all of them showed extremely glomerular hypercellularity. The number of apoptotic glomemlar cells was significantly higher in patients with APGN (1.16?0.35) than those with MPGN (0.12?0.16) as well as LN patients (0.35 ? 0.20). Conclusion Apoptosis is essential in the resolution of glomerular cellularity together with the remodeling processes. Intense proliferations without increment in apoptosis are the characterisitics of MPGN and LN associated with their renal histological changes and prognosis.

Objective To investigate the relationshp among Gp Ⅱ b/ⅡⅢ a、CD62p in platelet activation mark-er and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in elderly patients with chronic cor pulmonary exacerbation. Methods The subjects were divided into four groups (42 elderly patients with cor pulmonary exacerbation,42 eld-erly patients with cot pulmonary remission,30 cases of healthy elderly subjects and 30 cases of healthy non-elderly subjects) . The expression of Gp Ⅱ b/Ⅲ a and CD62p were measured with tricolor flow cytometry. Hs-CRP levels were measured by nephelometry and turbidimetry in patients and normal controls. Results Compared with cor pul-monary remission group,healthy elderly group and healthy non-elderly group, the levels of Gp Ⅱ b/Ⅲ a, CD62p and hs-CRP increased significantly in patients with chronic cor pulmonary exacerbation ( all P < 0.001 ). Gp Ⅱ b/Ⅲ a and CD62p results of the elderly patients with cot pulmonary remission were higher than those in healthy elderly subjects (P <0.05) and healthy non-elderly subjects (P < 0. 001 ) . The expressions of both Gp Ⅱ b/Ⅲa and CD62p in healthy elderly subjects were statistically higher than that in healthy non-elderly subjects ( P < 0.05 ). There was a positive con'elation between the Gp Ⅱ b/Ⅲ a、CD62p and hs-CRP in elderly patients with chronic cot pulmonary exac-erbation(r =0.59,P<0.01 ; r=0.54,P<0.01 ). Conclusions The platelet in elderly patients with chronic cot pulmonary exacerbation is overactivated,which is correlated with hs-CRP.

Object To explore the relationship of 25 (OH) D levels in cord and maternal peripheral blood to understand the maternal and neonatal vitamin D status in Songjiang District of Shanghai. Methods One hundred newborns delivered at the First People’s Hospital afifliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University and 20 pregnant women during November 2010 to January 2011 in Songjiang district were enrolled in the study. The levels of 25 (OH) D in cord and maternal blood were measured by ELISA and compared. Results Mean materna1 serum levels of 25 (OH) D was (23.42±5.23) nmol/L, and cord blood 25 (OH) D was (29.77±12.51) nmol/L. Maternal serum 25 (OH) D was positively correlated with cord blood 25 (OH) D (r=0.84, P<0.001). Conclusions This study shows that the prevalence of vitamin D deifciency in pregnant women is high in Shanghai Songjiang District, which could have adverse effects on newbowns.

Objective To study the expression of angiopoietin-like protein 3(ANGPTL3) mRNA successively in kidney of adriamycin (ADR)-induced nephrotic rats during the development of proteinuria, and to disclose the possible assosiation of ANGPTL3 with proteinuria. Methods Adriamycininduced nephrotic rat models were established by a single injection of adriamycin via the tail vein. Glomeruli and cortex tubuli of rats were dissected by laser microdissection. Real time quantitative RT-PCR was used to study the expression of ANGPTL3mRNA in kidney of ADR rate at 7, 14, 21 and 28 days successively following adriamycin injection. Results (1) In ADR rats, urinary protein and the level of triglyceride and cholesterol in serum increased significantly at day 14 (P

OBJECTIVETo identify the correlation of the volume of residual urine (VRU) with the severity of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and detrusor contractility in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

METHODSA total of 152 patients with clinically diagnosed BPH underwent ultrasonography for measurement of the prostate volume and RVU, free uroflowmetry, and urodynamic examination for the severity of BOO and detrusor contractility. Using the software SPSS20. 0, we analyzed the correlation between the ultrasonographic results and urodynamic parameters and compared the two sample means by the t-test.

RESULTSThe prostate volume was correlated positively with BOO severity (r = 0.432, P < 0.01) and detrusor contractility (r = 0.343 , P < 0.01) while Qmax negatively with BOO severity (r = 0.327, P < 0.01) but not significantly with detrusor contractility (r = 0.123, P > 0.05). VRU showed a significantly negative correlation with detrusor contractility when > 150 ml (r = -0.490, P < 0.01), even more significantly when > 300 ml (r = -0.717, P < 0.01), but exhibited no significant correlation with it when ≤ 150 ml (r = 0.041, P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONVRU can somehow predict the detrusor function. For patients with VRU > 150 ml, especially for those with VRU > 300 ml, the detrusor function should be evaluated and urodynamic examination is recommended for exact assessment of BOO severity and detrusor contractility.

Objective To establish a multi-drug resistant model of temporal lobe epilepsy,and to observe the changes of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor expression in the hippocampal tissues so as to explore its effects in pharmacoresistant epileptogenesis.Methods One hundred rats were selected to prepare the amygdaloid kindled model of epilepsy by chronic stimulation of amygaloid basal lateral nucleus.After the kindled model of epilepsy was prepared successfully(n =52),pharmacoresistant epileptic rats were selected according to their response to the phenobabital and phenytoin.The selected pharmacoresistant epileptic rats (n =8)were sacrificed and the hippocampus was removed to determine the GABA receptor expression,and the same number of pharmacosensitive epileptic rats was used as control.Results The pharmacoresistant epileptic rats displayed degenerative and necrotic hippocampal neurons.The arrangement of hippocampal neurons was disordered,and the structural characteristics of the arrangement of the hippocampal neurons disappeared.The gray values of GABAA-positive neurons in the hippocampal tissues (141.15 ± 14.72) increased significantly compared with the pharmacosensitive epileptic rats (92.56 ± 5.17; t =3.380,P =0.006).Western blot method demonstrated that the band of GABAA became narrowed and thin.The relative quantity of GABAA in the hippocampal tissues (0.38 ± 0.08) decreased significantly as compared with the pharmacosensitive epileptic rats (0.88 ± 0.18).A significant difference was observed (t =5.420,P =0.002).Conclusions GABA receptor expression might be decreased in the hippocampal tissues of pharmacoresistant epileptic rats.It might play a certain role in the formation of pharnmacoresistant epilepsy.
