Four studies about the effects of music intervention on anxiety level of patients with cancer were assessed with state-trait anxiety inventory,Meta analysis confirmed that music intervention could effectively reduce the anxiety level of patients with cancer (WMD=-8.24, 95%CI-9.44--7.04, P<0.01). Meta-analysis showed that music intervention was able to relieve anxiety, depression, pain of patients with cancer. Two studies about the effects of music intervention on anxiety level of patients with cancer were assessed with Hamilton Anxiety Scale,Meta analysis confirmed that music intervention could effectively reduce the anxiety level of patients with cancer (WMD=-3.37, 95%CI-4.93--1.82, P<0.01). Fourteen studies about the effects of music intervention on depression level of patients with cancer were assessed with Self-rating Depression Scale,Meta analysis confirmed that music intervention could effectively reduce the depression level of patients with cancer (WMD=-8.12, 95%CI-10.75--5.49, P<0.01). Three studies about the effects of music intervention on depression level of patients with cancer were assessed with Hamilton Depression Scale,Meta analysis confirmed that music intervention could effectively reduce the depression level of patients with cancer (WMD=-3.27, 95%CI-6.34--0.21, P=0.04). A total of 9 studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of music intervention on patients with the pain Visual Analogue Scale,Meta analysis confirmed that music intervention could effectively reduce the pain level of patients with cancer (WMD=-0.83, 95%CI-1.23--0.44, P<0.01).A total of 6 studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of music intervention on heart rate in cancer patients,Meta analysis confirmed that music intervention could stabilize the heart rate of patients (WMD=-3.38, 95%CI-5.13--1.62, P=0.002).A total of 6 studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of music intervention on systolic blood pressure in patients with cancer,the results of Meta analysis showed that music intervention could stabilize the systolic pressure in patients (WMD=-5.34, 95%CI-7.95--2.73, P<0.01). Conclusions Music intervention has effects on reducing potentially harmful psychological responses of patients with cancer,which deserve to be explored and spread in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the surgical technique and outcomes of replacement of chordae tendineae in mitral valve repair, and evaluate the value of real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography in the perioperative period. Methods Thirty-one patients with mitral valve prolapse underwent mitral valve repair using chordae tendineae replacement concomitant with implantation of valveplasty ring. A 4-0 Goretex sutures was used for reconstruction of artificial chordae. Realtime three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography was performed in all the patients during the preoperative, intraoperatire, and postoperative periods. The length of the chordae tendineae under the A1 section of the anterior leaflet and the P1 section of the posterior leaflet were measured and considered the normal length of chordae tendineae by real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography preoperatively. These pre-determined normal chordal lengths helped intraoperatively to approximate the length of the artificial chordae used and postoperatively to gauge the success of the procedures. The same values were used again postoperatively to gauge the success of intervention. Full flexible valveplasty rings were used in all the patients.Results There was no operative death. The mean cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and aortic cross clamp time were ( 142. 0 ±31.2 ) min and (98.0 ± 22.5 ) min, respectively. One patient' s intraoperative echocardiography upon termination of CPB showed persistent severe mitral regurgitation and was converted to mitral valve replacement. This patient was not included in the study group. The mean number of artificial chordae per patient was (2.0 ± 1.5 ) , range from 1 to 3. The mean preoperatively measured normal chordal length was ( 21.0 ± 2.5 ) mm, and the mean postoperative artificial chordal length was ( 20.0 ± 2.2 )mm. The difference was not significant. The follow-up interval was from 3 to 30 months and the follow-up rate was 98%. During the follow-up period, there was no late death. Trace mitral regurgitation (MR) was detected in 15 patients, mild and moderate MR were detected in 1 for each. No severe MR was detected. The freedom from reoperation was 100% during follow-up.There were no documented artificial chordae ruptures. Conclusion Conclusion Artificial chordal replacement with Gore-tex suture in mitral valve repair in this group of patients with mitral valve prolapse appears to have satisfactory early and mid-term results. Real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography plays a critical role in this technique. Real-time threedimensional transesophageal echocardiography can exactly predict the length of artificial chordae, which is helpful to improve the outcomes of mitral valve repair. However, longer term follow-up and larger series are required to validate our findings.

Objective To compare the surgical outcome and long-term follow-up after mitral valve replacement through either minimally invasive(MI) or traditional median stemotomy(ST) surgery.Methods All 1 096 patients who received either MI or ST mitral valve replacement surgery,between January 1,2012 and July 30,2015 were analyzed for outcome differences due to surgical approach using propensity score matching(MI group n =405,ST group n =691).Find out the best matched with the 202 cases of the two groups.The clinical data of patients were collected including operativedata,postoperativecomplications,and follow-up.Results MI Group was longer in CPB time [(145.97 ±34.65)min vs.(92.24 ±25.58)min,(P ＜ 0.001)],aortic clamping time [(93.89 ± 25.25) min vs.(56.42 ± 18.09) min,(P ＜ 0.001)],and operating time[(237.49 ± 47.48) min vs.(217.31 ± 55.95) min,(P ＜ 0.001)].The MI group was associated with more less in transfusion(24.26％ vs 33.66％ P=0.037),mechanical ventilation[(15.29 ±11.45)h vs.(21.34 ±40.36)h,(P=0.041)],ICU stay[(44.12 ±39.51)h vs.(61.15 ± 106.01) h,(P =0.033)],volume of thoracic drainag[(404.11 ±485.84)ml vs.(674.82 ±585.37)ml,(P＜0.001)],postoperative drainage time[(2.59 ±1.75)d vs.(4.25 ±1.91)d,(P ＜0.001)],hospital stay [(5.64 ± 3.07) d vs.(1 1.44 ± 6.71) d,(P ＜ 0.001)].There were no significant difference in the complications of follow-up(P ＞ 0.05).SF-36 score had no significant difference either(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The minimally invasive thoracoseopic has longer in CBP time and cross-clamp time,;but it didnot increase the risk of mortality and complications.What's more,havingless trauma,fewer transfusions,lcss wound infection,faster rccovcry,and high satisfaction with the incision in long-term follow up and other advantages.Minimally invasive thoracoscopic cardiac surgery is safe,effective and feasible.

Objective:To study the effects of compound schisandra extracts (CSE) (schisandra,astragalus,acanthopanax,and rhodiola)on the exhaustive swimming time and the levels of blood urea nitrogen(BUN),serum lactic acid(LD),liver glycogen and muscle glycogene,superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity,and malonaldehyde(MDA) level in the mice and to charify its anti-fatigue effect and the mechanism.Methods:Eighty male ICR mice were randomly divided into blank control group,50 mg·kg-1 CSE group,100 mg·kg-1 CSE group,and 200 mg·kg-1CSE group;there were 20 mice in each group.The mice were administered orally for 30 d.Then 10 mice were randomly selected for exhaustive swimming test in each group and the exhaustive swimming time of the mice was recorded.The remaining 10 mice in each group were used for 90 min swimming,then all the mice were sacrificed and the blood and tissue samples were taken for the measurement of the levels of BUN,LD,liver glycogen and muscle glycogen,the SOD activity and MDA level;the total inhibitory rate of oxidation of CSE in vitro was determined by linoleic acid-ferric thiocyanate method.Results:Compared with blank control group,the exhaustive swimming time of the mice in 50,100,and 200 mg·kg-1 CSE groups were significantly increased (P<0.01);the levels of BUN and LD of the mice in 100 and 200 mg·kg-1 CSE groups were significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01);the levels of liver glycogen and muscle glycogen of the mice in 100 and 200 mg·kg-1 groups were significantly increased(P<0.05 or P<0.01);whereas the SOD activities were significantly increased and the levels of MDA were decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Compared with 100 mg·kg-1 CSE group,the levels of serum BUN and LD of the mice in 200 mg·kg-1 CSE group were decreased (P<0.01),and the levels of liver glycogen and muscle glycogen were increased(P<0.05).The total inhibitory rate of oxidation of 5 g·L-1CSE was 76.94%.Conclusion:CSE has an anti-fatigue effect and the mechanism may be related to anti-oxidation effect.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the relationship between the -629C/A polymorphism in the promoter region of the CETP gene, serum Levels, lipid metabolism, and coronary heart disease (CHD) among Tianjin Han Chinese population.

METHODSA hospital-based case-control study was conducted in Tianjin Chest Hospital from 2010 October to 2011 October. The subjects underwent angiography were divided into a case group (n = 429) and a control group (n = 275). The CETP gene promoter polymorphism at position -629 was determined by restricted fragment length polymorphism using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR-RFLP) method.The serum CETP levels was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method.

RESULTS(1)The lower frequency of -629A allele in Tianjin Han Chinese population was 0.408, significantly lower than that in other domestic and foreign populations (0.479-0.701, P < 0.05). (2) Variant AA genotype showed reduced CETP levels(P > 0.05) and higher HDL-C levels (P < 0.05), compared to wild CC genotype. (3) Although there was a negative trend correlation between serum CETP and HDL-C levels, it did not reach statistical significance(P > 0.05). (4)There were significant differences in the frequencies of CETP gene -629 genotype and allele between the two groups (P < 0.001),carries with CA/AA genotype and A allele showed higher risk of CHD, OR (95%CI) values were 4.627 (3.163-6.769), 8.779 (4.799-16.059) and 3.173 (2.453-4.104) respectively. There was no relationship between CETP-629C/A polymorphism and coronary artery stenosis degree(χ(2) = 3.588, P = 0.166).

CONCLUSIONThe frequencies of CETP gene -629 genotype and allele in the Tianjin Han Chinese population was significantly different from that in Other domestic and foreign populations. Variant AA genotype, which showed reduced CETP levels and higher HDL-C levels, is paradoxically associated with increased risk of CHD. Thus, CETP gene variation may affect coronary risk apart from the level of HDL-C.

This study was purposed to investigate the megakaryocytic dysplasia and leukemia-associated phenotypes (LAP) of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in the elderly. The megakaryocytic dysplasia, lineage infidelity, asynchronous antigen expression, total WBC count, and karyotypes were observed in the 147 none M(3)-AML patients. Logistic regression were used to analyzed the difference between the elderly (age > or = 60) and the control. The results showed that out of the total 147 patients (66 elderly patients, and 81 younger patients) 124 patients accepted induction chemotherapy, in which 70 cases achieved complete remission (elderly 18, younger 52, p = 0.008); megakaryocytic dysplasia was found in 32 patients (21.8%); CD33 and CD19/CD7 (lineage infidelity) was co-expressed in 55 patients (37.4%), CD34 and CD11b (asynchronous antigen expression) was co-expressed in 65 patients (44.2%); white blood cell count > 25 x 10(9)/L was found in 52 patients (35.4%). By the Logistic regression, compared with the control, in the elderly patients there was difference in the megakaryocytic dysplasia, and the co-expression of CD33/CD19/CD7 and CD34/CD11b (OR = 4.315, 2.761, 0.397; p = 0.001, 0.006, 0.020), but there was no difference in the total WBC count and karyotypes (OR = 0.802, 1.096; p = 0.646, 0.813). It is concluded that the incidence of megakaryocytic dysplasia, such as lineage infidelity, and asynchronous antigen expression, in elderly patients is higher than that in younger patients.

BACKGROUNDNeuromyelitis optica (NMO) and multiple sclerosis (MS) are autoimmune demyelinating diseases of the central nerve system. Interleukin-7 (IL-7) and interleukin-7 receptor alpha (IL-7Rα) were proved to be important in the pathogenesis of both diseases because of the roles they played in the differentiations of autoimmune lymphocytes. The variants of both genes had been identified to be associated with MS susceptibility in Caucasian, Japanese and Korean populations. However, the association of these variants with NMO and MS has not been well studied in Chinese Southeastern Han population. Here, we aimed to evaluate the association of six IL-7 variants (rs1520333, rs1545298, rs4739140, rs6993386, rs7816065, and rs2887502) and one variant of IL-7RA (rs6897932) with NMO and MS among Chinese Han population in southeastern China.

METHODSMatrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MassARRAY system) and Sanger sequencing were used to determine the variants of IL-7 and IL-7RA in 167 NMO patients, 159 MS patients and 479 healthy controls among Chinese Han population in southeastern China. Samples were excluded if the genotyping success rate <90%.

RESULTSStatistical differences were observed in the genotypes of IL-7 rs1520333 in MS patients and IL-7RA rs6897932 in NMO patients, compared with healthy controls (P = 0.035 and 0.034, respectively). There was a statistically significant difference in the genotypes of IL-7 rs2887502 between MS and NMO patients (P = 0.014). And there were statistically significant differences in the rs6897932 genotypes (P = 0.004) and alleles (P = 0.042) between NMO-IgG positive patients and healthy controls.

CONCLUSIONSThe study suggested that among Chinese Han population in southeastern China, the variant of IL-7RA (rs6897932) was associated with NMO especially NMO-IgG positive patients while the variant of IL-7 (rs1520333) with MS patients. And the genotypic differences of IL-7 rs2887502 between MS and NMO indicated the different genetic backgrounds of these two diseases.

Objective To analyze the death trend of children under 5 years old in Lanzhou and establish the time series model to predict the mortality and incidence of children under 5 years old in Lanzhou in 2019. Methods Descriptive epidemiological method was used to analyze the mortality of children under 5 years old in Lanzhou from January 2010 to December 2018. SPSS 21.0 software was used to construct time series analysis model, selecting the best model and predict the mortality of children under 5 years old in Lanzhou in 2019. Results A total of 1 650 deaths of children under 5 years old were reported in Lanzhou from 2010 to 2018. The number of deaths reported by boys and girls was 871 and 774 respectively, with an average annual mortality rate of 6.23‰. In recent years, the overall mortality rate of children under 5 years old in Lanzhou had declined. The majority of deaths among children under 5 years old were neonates, accounting for 65.27%. Simple seasonal model was the best model by comparing different models. The model could well fit the monthly death cases of children under 5 years old in Lanzhou from 2010 to 2018. It is predicted that the total number of deaths of children under 5 years old in Lanzhou will be 140 in 2019, which is similar to the number of deaths in 2018. Conclusions The mortality rate of children under 5 years old in Lanzhou is decreasing year by year. Simple seasonal model can better reflect the mortality trend of children under 5 years old in Lanzhou and make short-term prediction.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of hepatitis A in Guangxi from 2010 to 2020, and to provide a scientific basis for formulating effective prevention and control strategies. Methods Descriptive epidemiological method was used to analyze the incidence data of hepatitis A in Guangxi from 2010 to 2020. Results From 2010 to 2020, a total of 8,742 cases of hepatitis A were reported in Guangxi, with an average annual incidence rate of 1.66 /100,000. There were 5 298 male cases (60.60%), and 3,444 female cases (39.40%). The incidence rate decreased from 2.73/100 000 in 2010 to 1.38/100 000 in 2020. The onset seasonality was strong in 2010, but there was no obvious seasonality in other years. A total of 5 891 cases (67.39%) were aged from 25 to 64 years. Farmers accounted for 59.79% of the cases. A total of 7 hepatitis A outbreaks were reported during 2010-2020, including 273 cases，accounting for 3.12% of the total cases．The incidence rates of hepatitis A in Hezhou (3.97/100 000), Wuzhou (2.98/100 000), Hechi (2.44/100 000), Guigang (2.00/100 000) and Beihai (1.79/100 000) were relatively higher than other places. Conclusion The number of reported hepatitis A cases in Guangxi has been declining year by year, and the prevention and control measures of hepatitis A vaccine prevention are effective. The surveillance of hepatitis A should be strengthened, and prevention and control strategies should be formulated for high-risk areas and key populations.
