Objective To investigate the effect of heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback training on patients with three types of insom-nia disorder. Methods From June, 2016 to March, 2017, 17 patients in simple insomnia group, 19 patients in insomnia with anxiety group, and 19 patients in insomnia with depression group were included. All the patients received HRV biofeedback training and same medication (zolpidem tartrate, 10 mg every night). They were assessed with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), and HRV parameters were tracked before and after training. Re-sults After training, the scores of PSQI, SCL-90, HAMA , HAMD and the ratio of low frequency (LF) and high frequency (HF) (LF/HF) de-creased in all groups (t>1.446, P<0.05). There was significant difference in PSQI among three groups (F=3.537, P=0.038). The D-values of the PSQI score and LF/HF before and after training were more in the insomnia with anxiety group and the insomnia with depression group than in the simple insomnia group (P<0.05), however, no significant difference was observed between the insomnia with anxiety group and the insomnia with depression group (P>0.05). Conclusion HRV biofeedback training could improve the symptoms of patients with three types of insomnia disorder, especially for those with anxiety or depression.

Objective To study the validation of fluorescent multiplex microsatellite amplification technique for use in the caseworks of umbilical blood cell transplantation monitor. Methods Six post-transplant recipients of umbilical cord blood cell transplantation were monitored by analyzing microsatellite DNA loci. DNA samples were amplified using a fluorescent labeling primers multiplex amplification system of 15 microsatellites markers, followed by typing on a DNA automated sequencer. Recipients' or donors' microsatellites DNA profiles were compared before and after transplantation. Results All recipients and donors exhibited different DNA profiles. Without reference samples of pre-transplant or donors, the changes of the 15 microsetellites genotypes of the post-transplant recipients still could be analyzed. The recipient type turned to donor type was observed over time. Conclusion Under the condition of using multiplex amplification of the 15 microsatellites to monitor the umbilical blood cell transplantation, reference sample of pre-transplant or donor did not need to be detected simultaneously.

Objective To investigate effects of mini-invasive treatment for patients with vascular malformations in oral and maxillofacial region . Methods 8 cases with vascular malformations in oral and maxillofacial deep or special region were injected pingyangmycin into vein lake by color ultrasound-guided needle aspiration. Results All cases were cured and no facial nerve was damaged. Follow-up ranged from 6 months to 1 year, and no recurrence was found. The vascular malformations of 4 cases in maxillofacial deep region were disappeared or instead of fiber tissue with MRI detection 6 months after treatment. Conclusions Injecting pingyangmycin by color ultrasound guided-needle aspiration for patients with vascular malformations in oral and maxillofacial deep or special region is effective, safe and mini-invasive treatment.

Objective To evaluate the cause which leads to the allelic dropouts at D8S1179 locus while performing paternity testing with the AmpFlSTR Profiler Plus kit. Methods A singleplex amplification system for D8S1179 locus (GenBank Accession No. G08710) was used to verify the typing results by using the AmpFlSTR?Profiler plus kit. Dropout alleles were then sequenced. Results G to A transition was identified at the position of the 147th base of the GenBank sequence. The frequency of the G to A transition among the Chinese population was 0.50 X 10"2 (10 out of 2013 unrelated individuals). Conclusion The G to A transition may be located at the binding site of one of the primers of the AmpFlSTR?Profiler Plus kit. It is suggested that the G to A transition might be the cause of the allelic dropout at the D8S1179 locus.

Objective To evaluated the feasibility and accuracy of obtaining the myocardial perfusion image and coronary artery image of pig models of acute myocardial infarction by the second generation dual-source CT dual-energy myocardial perfusion one-stop scanning. Methods The pig models of acute myocardial infarction was established by using the interventional gelatin sponge embolism method on 5 pigs. The myocardial perfusion scanning and coronary angiography were respectively used 20 min before and 24-48 h after modeling. The heart were taken out immediately after the inspection for multiple punch biopsy and HE staining, then the heart was sliced for triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining. According to the gold standard of coronary angiography and pathological staining, the sensibility and speciifcity of the coronary artery image of acute myocardial infarction of pig reconstructed by myocardial perfusion scanning and the myocardial perfusion image were respectively evaluated, and the consistency of the results was veriifed by Kappa test. Results Compared with the pathologic gold standard, the sensitivity, speciifcity, of myocardial perfusion iodine image obtained by myocardial perfusion scanning were 93%, 91%; and Kappa value was 0.68. Compared with the coronary angiography gold standard, the sensitivity and speciifcity of coronary artery image obtained by myocardial perfusion scanning were 93%, 81%, and Kappa value was 0.71. Conclusions The second generation dual-source CT dual-energy myocardial perfusionone-stopscanning can accurately get the coronary artery and myocardial perfusion images of the pig models of acute myocardial infarction.

Objective to investigate the effect of berberine on the expression of AQP4 and neuronal injury after focal cerebral ischemia in diabetic rats. Methods Male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups:control(sham surgery),middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion (MCAO/R),MCAO/R treated with vehicle(DMSO),MCAO/R treated with berberine. the transient focal ischemia/reperfusion was induced by in-troducing silicone-coated monofilament nylon suture from the right external carotid artery into the origin of the middle cerebral artery,which was re-moved after 60 min. In group treated with berberine,the rats were injected with berberine before and after suffered from cerebral ischemia. Similarly, in group vehicle,the animals received DMSO vehicle at the same time. the score of neurological behavior was evaluated 24 h after reperfusion. Mean-while,the rats were sacrificed for Nissl staining. to estimate cerebral edema,the wet-dry ratio was measured. the expression of AQP4 in the border of the infarct region in different groups was observed by Western blot. Results Compared with the model group,berberine improved neurological deficits(P < 0.05). Berberine treatment inhibited the neuronal deformation shown by Nissl staining(P < 0.05). Berberine significantly decreased the wet-dry ratio and reduced the expression of AQP4(P < 0.05). Conclusion these results suggested that berberine could induce neuroprotection against ischemic injury by inhibiting the expression of AQP4 in diabetic rats.

Results After adjustment for body mass index (BMI),sex,stroke and fasting blood glucose,logistic multivariable analysis showed that cfPWV associated with age,systolic blood pressure(SBP),pulse pressure,coronary artery disease,diabetes,carotid atheromatous plaque and hemoglobin A1c. Conclusion Arterial stiffness in elderly patients with essential hypertension was strongly positively associated with age,SBP,pulse pressure,coronary artery disease,diabetes,carotid atheromatous plaque and hemoglobin A1c.

Objective To explore the effect of motor imagery on motor recovery in hemiplegic patients after stroke. Methods From May, 2015 to October, 2016, 40 hemiplegic patients after stroke were randomly divided into control group (accepted routine rehabilitation, n=20) and motor imagery group (accepted motor imagery and routine rehabilitation, n=20). They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assess-ment (FMA), modified Barthel Index (MBI) before and six weeks after treatment. Fractional anisotropy (FA) of the focus was measured with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Results The scores of FMA and MBI improved in both groups after treatment (t>5.088, P<0.001), and improved more in the motor imagery group than in the control group (t>2.124, P<0.05). The FA reduced in the focus compared with the same site of unaffected side in both groups before treatment (t>3.892, P<0.01), and there was no significant difference between two groups (t<1.144, P>0.05). FA increased in more patients of the motor imagery group (5/5) than in the control group (2/4). Conclusion Motor imag-ery can promote the recovery of motor function and activities of daily living in stroke patients, and may help the recovery of fibers in white matter.
