Objective To observe the effects of diazepam on the percen-tage of δ -band power of quantitative pharmaco -electroencephalogram ( QPEEG ) in rabbits and the relation with benzodiazepine receptor.Methods Thirty-six healthy rabbits were randomly divided into 6 groups (each n=6),where rabbits in each group were intravenously injected with 1 mL· kg-1 0.9%NaCl (blank group), 0.12 mg· kg-1 , 0.25 mg· kg-1 or 0.50 mg· kg-1 diazepam groups, 0.1 mg· kg-1 flumazenil group and 0.1 mg· kg-1 flumazenil +0.5 mg· kg-1 diazepam ( combined group ).Then a digital EEG system was adopted to record the changes of QPEEG in eight encepha-lic regions before and after injection at each time point.Results The per-centage of δband power in eight encephalic regions of 0.25, 0.50 mg· kg-1 diazepam groups are noted increase within 0.5 to 30 min.The change of the percentage of δ band power has a positive correlation with diazepam dose.Compared with the 0.5 mg· kg-1 diazepam group,the percentage of δ-band power in combined group was lower at same time point.Conclusion Diazepam increases the percentage ofδ-band power of QPEEG in the way of dose dependence in rabbits.It indicates that benzodiazepine receptor mediates the effect of diazepam and the percentage of δ-band power may become an index that reflects the degree of sedation and hypnosis.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of flupentixol and melitracen tablets combined with psychological intervention in the treatment of cerebral infarction with anxiety disorder.Methods Eighty patients with cerebral infarction and anxiety disorders were randomly divided into control group and treatment group with 40 cases per group.Control group was treated with antiplatelet aggregation,activating blood stasis and brain protectant and so on.Treatment group was treated with flupentixol and melitracen tablet 10 mg per group,bid,orally,and psychological intervention once every 3-5 days,on the basis of control group.Two groups were treated for 6 weeks.The self rating scale (SAS)scores,depression self rating scale (SDS) scores,the United States national institutes of health stroke scale (NIHSS) scores and adverse drug reactions were compared between two groups.Results After treatment,the main indexes in treatment and control groups were compared:SAS scores were (40.07 ± 3.02) and (52.07 ± 6.94) points,SDS scores were (40.03 ±3.38) and (51.48 ± 7.22) points,NIHSS scores were (6.04 ± 1.51) and (8.92 ± 4.12) points,the differences were statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.05).No adverse drug reactions in two groups occurred during the treatment.Conclusion Flupentixol and melitracen tablets combined with psychological intervention have a definitive clinical efficacy and safety in the treatment of cerebral infarction with anxiety disorder,which can significantly reduce the NIHSS scores and improve prognosis.

Objective To investigate the myocardial damage in rats fed with corn from Keshan disease area added with bean puree. Methods Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups according to their body weights, and fed with corn, corn from Keshan disease area added with bean puree, corn from non-endemic area. The GSH-Px activity of vena cardalis blood was examined in 1 and 3 months, rats were sacrificed after being fed for 6 months to examine the heart changes with HE stain. Results The three groups of GSH-Px activity were different in 1 and 3 months respectively(F=23.60,72.46, all P<0.01); GSH-Px activity was (181.58±22.15), (44.76±28.59)U/L in rats fed with corn, was (195.03±17.66), (30.38±3.35)U/L in those fed with corn added with bean puree from Keshan disease area, lower than the group fed with corn of non-endemic area[(340.90±95.42), (125.17±13.64)U/L, all P < 0.01]. But the difference of GSH-Px activity between simple corn group and corn adding bean puree groups of Keshan disease area was not obvious(P>0.05). Myocardial damage incidence of the three groups was 3/9,1/9,2/7. Difference among three groups did not have statistical significance(χ2=1.33, P> 0.05). Conclusions Only corn from Keshan disease area may induce myocardial damage pathology change. Adding bean puree into corn does not increase damage.

OBJECTIVETo observe therapeutic effect of acupuncture on diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and explore the mechanism.

METHODSSixty-eight cases of DPN were treated with acupuncture at Jianyu (LI 15), Quchi (LI 11), Waiguan (TE 5) etc. and their blood sugar, blood lipids and hemorrheologic indexes and nerve conductive velocity before and after treatment were determined.

RESULTSAfter treatment, 43 cases were markedly effective, 20 cases were effective and 5 cases were ineffective, with a total effective rate of 92.6%; the nerve conductive velocity, plasma insulin, C-peptide, opioid peptides increased significantly (P<0.01) and blood viscosity significantly decreased (P<0.01).

CONCLUSIONAcupuncture has a definite therapeutic effect on DPN and the increase of nerve conductive velocity is possibly related with the increase of plasma opioid peptides.

Objective To investigate the drug -metabolizing enzyme gene cytochrome P450 2C9 ( CYP2C9 ) distribution in Chinese Korean healthy population .Methods Two hundred healthy volunteers from Chi-nese Korean were recruited .A polymerase chain reaction -restriction fragment length polymorphism ( PCR-RFLP) method was developed to detect CYP2 C9*2 and *13 allele frequencies and compare genetic po-lymorphism differences with other ethnic groups from literatures .Results Six cases of CYP2C9 *1/*2 mutation individuals , 1 case of CYP2C9*2/*2 mutation individual and 1 case of CYP2C9*1/*13 mutated individuals in Korean health subjects were found in this study . The allele frequencies of CYP2C9*2 and *13 gene were 2.98% and 0.37%respectively.The results showed that there were similar ethnic in the distribution of CYP2C9 in Chinese Korean and Mongolian. Conclusion The results showed that Chinese Korean existed CYP 2C9 gene polymorphism distribution , and the distribution was similar to the Mongolian in Chifeng region .

Objective To analyze the resignation status quo of contracted nurses, so as to establish an effective management mechanism and system for them. Methods 123 contracted nurses who resigned from our hospital from 2005 to 2007 were selected, collecting their individual skill files and undertaking the statistics analysis for the reasons. Results The rate of resignation was from 10.2% to 11.2%. Among the resigned contracted nurses, 62.5% of them resigned before 25 years old;The rate of initiative resignation decreased gradually the three late years (P＜0.05);86.2% of the contracted nurses resigned in the first 5 years and 48% of them were nurses of 1～2 years;The flint three reasons of resignation were changing employment (40%), individual reasons to hometown (29%), and incompetence for occupation (13%);It was an inverse ratio between the working lifetime and the number of resigned contracted nurses who broke the promises.Conclusions It is necessary to formulate the employment specification that suits the hospital feature under the new laber contract law so as to deplete or to avoid the initiative resignation of the contracted nurses.

OBJECTIVETo study the temporal trend and spatial distribution of premature mortality burden due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in terms of years of life lost (YLL) in an urban region of Kunming for the years 1998-2003.

METHODSPan Long district was selected as the study region. YLL was used to measure premature mortality burden due to COPD. The tate of YLL per 1000 residents was calculated without age-weighting but with 3% discounting rate and broken down by year. Geographic information system (GIS) technique was used to display the spatial distribution of premature mortality burden due to COPD during the six years of study.

RESULTSDuring the years from 1998 to 2003, the premature mortality burden due to COPD decreased by years while males seemed to have a higher YLL rate of COPD than females. Central areas remained to have higher YLL/1000 population values of COPD for the six years, whereas remote areas tended to have a decreasing trend of YLL/1000 population values of COPD in the same period.

CONCLUSIONCentral areas of the city should be emphasized in further control of COPD in the urban region of Kunming.

OBJECTIVETo study whether hematologic malignancy patients with anemia have a lower erythropoietin (EPO) response.

METHODSSerum EPO levels were detected by ELISA in patients with hematologic malignancies and with iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Eighty patients with hematologic malignancies, including 13 multiple myeloma (MM), 7 chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and 60 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) were studied. Thirty of them had anemia(21 NHL,6 MM and 3 CLL). Twenty patients with IDA were studied as the control.

RESULTSHematologic malignancy patients with anemia had higher EPO levels [(97.8 +/- 183.9) IU/L] than those with normal Hb values [(27.8 +/- 85.4) IU/L; P <0.01]. In patients with IDA, serum EPO response was inversely correlated with Hb level (r= -0.5, P <0.05) , but no such inverse correlation was found in the hematologic malignancy patients with anemia (r = -0.14). After corrected for Hb level, the serum EPO levels were significantly lower in anemic patients with hematologic malignancies than in IDA patients (P = 0.032) , indicating a decreased EPO response in the former group.

CONCLUSIONAnemia associated with hematologic malignancy might result from an inappropriately low EPO response. EPO treatment for these patients may be beneficial.
