Objective:To explore influence of psychological intervention on mental state in patients With rheumatic heart dis-ease (RHD)after valve replacement surgery.Methods:A total of 60 RHD patients after valve replacement surgery Were randomly and equally divided into routine nursing group and psychological intervention group according to number table,the latter received additional psychological intervention besides routine nursing intervention.Symptom checklist 90 (SCL-90) Was used to assess mental state of tWo groups 1 d before and one Week after surgery.Results:There Were no significant difference in SCL-90 scores betWeen tWo groups before psychological intervention (P>0.05).Compared With routine nursing group one Week after operation,there Were significant reduction in SCL-90 scores of somatization [(1.31±0.47) scores vs.(0.55±0.68)scores],obsessive-compulsive symptom [(2.11±0.35)scores vs.(0.78±0.35)scores],inter-personal relationship sensitivity [(1.57±0.53)scores vs.(1.22±0.46)scores],depression [(1.63±0.29)scores vs. (1.00±0.41)scores],anxiety [(0.98±0.17)scores vs.(0.76±0.13)scores],hostility [(1.11±0.31)scores vs.(0.80 ±0.37)scores]and phobia anxiety [(1.39±0.26)scores vs.(0.53±0.19)scores]in psychological intervention group,P<0.01 or P<0.05. Conclusion:Psychological intervention can alleviate the adverse psychological state and improve quali-ty of life in patients With rheumatic heart disease.

Objective To evaluate the effects of percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV) on repeated rheumatism attacks after continual anti rheumatic treatment in vain over a long period of time.Methods 23 cases received treatment by PBMV and follow up visits were performed.Results After operation,patients' cardiac function and their physique were improved obviously and the activity of rheumatism ceased after routine anti rheumatic treatment and prevention of streptococcal infection.Follow up visits for 36~81 months showed that mitral re stenosis occurred to only 2 patients.Conclusion Patients with mitral stenosis whose rheumatism attacks repeatedly in spite of longterm anti rheumatic treatment may be treated with PBMV first and then given anti rheumatism.In this way,a better curative effect can be obtained.

Objective To investigate the pathogenicity of the same concentration of Ureaplasma urealyticum serotype1 (Uu1) and 3 (Uu3),alone or in combination,in genital tract of female BALB/c mice.Methods A total of 144 estradiol-pretreated adult female BALB/c mice were randomly and equally divided into 3 groups to be inoculated intravaginally with the same concentration (106 copies/g) of Uu1 and Uu3 alone or in combination.Twelve estradiol-pretreated female BALB/c mice were inoculated with sterile culture solution and served as the control group.At 1,3,7,14,21,35 days after the inoculation,8 mice in each Uu-inoculated group and 2 mice in the control group were sacrificed.Tissue specimens were obtained from the cervix,endometria and fallopian tube and subjected to hematoxylin-eosin staining followed by light microscopy.Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the tissue specimens collected at 14 days from cervical mucosa of mice infected by Uu.Chi-square test was performed for statistical evaluation.Results The total infection rate of Uu within 3-35 days after the inoculation was 35.0% (14/40),47.5% (19/40) and 62.5% (25/40) in the Uu1 group,Uu3 group,and combination group respectively (x2 =6.07,P < 0.05).None of these mice was infected by Uu in the control group.Conclusions At the same inoculation concentration,the combination of Uu1 and Uu3 shows the strongest pathogenicity in genital tract of BALB/c mice,followed sequentially by Uu3 and Uu1 alone.

Totally 1136 individuals aged over 40 underwent health check up in March to May 2009. Fasting blood glucose, 2-h post-challenge blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin A1c ( HbA1c), total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and serum uric acid were measured. The diagnosis of metabolic syndrome was based on the International Diabetes Federation Criteria. The results shows that total body fat, region body fat indices, blood pressure, blood glucose and serum uric acid levels increased with the age ( P < 0.01) . The prevalence rate of metabolic syndrome in this group of individuals were 15. 1% (171/1136) , and increased with age (P<0.01). The most common combination of metabolic syndrome was central obesity-hypertension-dyslipidemia (40. 9% , 70/171). Unconditional logistic regression revealed that waist-hip-ratio, body mass index and uric acid were the risk factors for metabolic syndrome.

A total of 1342 individuals underwent physical examinations according to the criteria of metabolic syndrome of International Diabetes Federation (IDF) in 2005.And 314 patients with metabolic disorders were screened for diabetes by standard meal and methods oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).Newly diagnosed diabetics was 12 (4.1% ) vs.17 (5.8%) respectively.No significant difference existed between two methods (P =0.332).Kendall's (τ)b =0.313,Kendall's (τ)c =0.208 and Gamma coefficient =0.580 (P =0.000).The mixed meal method was correlated with OGTT,Kappa =0.258 (P =0.000) and two methods were consistent.Diabetic screening should be stressed in the subjects with metabolic abnormalities.And the detecting efficiency of postprandial plasma glucose is similar to OGTT.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced cervical cancer on cell cycle,proliferation,and evaluate the feasibility of proportion of cell in different phase and proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA) as sensitive indices to assess chemotherapeutical sensitivity and therapeutical effect.MethodsForty-nine cases of locally advanced cervical cancer were divided into response group and no-response group according to the clinical efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.Compared the proportion of cell in different phase and proliferation index of PCNA between two groups.The clinical therapeutic effect was evaluated after 4 weeks in the second neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen.Results In 49 patients with locally advanced cervical cancer,clinical effective of 39 cases (response group),no effective of 10 cases(no-response group).The S-phase proportion of cell in the pre-neoadjuvant chemotherapy and post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy of response group[ (21.47 ± 5.21 )% and(18.32 ±5.07)%] were higher than those of no-response group [ (9.63 ± 2.58)% and ( 10.14 ± 2.32)% ] (P < 0.05 ).The proliferation index of PCNA of cervical cancer in the pre-neoadjuvant chemotherapy of response group [ ( 81.67 ± 7.14)% ] was higher than that of no-response group [ (66.99 ± 2.29 )% ] (P < 0.05 ).Conclusion The S-phase proportion of cell and proliferation index of PCNA in the pre-neoadjuvant chemotherapy are important indexes to assess chemotherapeutical sensitivity and therapeutical effect.

Objective To analyse the clinical characteristics,gene mutation and enzymatic activity of αgalactosidase A(α-GalA)in a 15-year-old male patient with typical Fabry disease,whose mother was without any clinical manifestations.Methods Clinical features and laboratory data were collected from the patient and his mother.Genomie DNA was extracted from peripheral blood of the patient.his mother,and a healthy control subject.Seven exons of the GLA gene were amplified by PCR.PCR products were purified.cloned into T vector,and then sequenced.The enzymatic activity of α-GalA Was measured by fluorimetrie substrate assay. Results DNA sequencing results showed that a missense mutation of 10036-10038delAAG in exon 7 WaS identified in the patient,resulting in the replacement of 374 lysine and 375 glyeine by arginine,which Was not previously reported.The patient Was a hemizygote with gene mutation,his mother WaS a heterozygote carrying gene mutation,and the healthy control without mutation.α-GalA enzymatic activity assay showed that the enzymatic activity of the patient with GLA gene mutation was only 50%of the healthy control subject,while the enzymatic activity of the patient's mother Was about 70%of the heahhy control SObject.Conclusiolls Detecting GLA gene mutation and α-GalA enzymatic activity in patients with Fabry disease who have been clinically diagnosed seelns to be helpful in finding other patients in the family and in further understanding the molecular pathogenesis of that disease.
