Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2006;12(5):417-419
ObjectiveTo observe the manifestations of depression at different stages after cerebral concussion. Methods77 cerebral concussion patients received Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) examination at acute stage (in the 7 days after disease) and convalescence stage (at about 30 days after disease), and then compared with 48 health adults. ResultsThe scores of anxietas somatization, cognitive handicap, retardation, dyssomnia, feeling of despair conclude the total score in the cerebral concussion patients at acute stage were all significantly higher than that of the control (P<0.05). During the convalescence stage, the scores of anxietas somatization, the change of body weight, cognitive handicap, diurnal variation, retardation, dyssomnia, feeling of despair conclude the total score were all significantly higher than that of the control (P<0.05). The scores of almost all the item of HAMD were significantly higher than that of the control at both acute stage and convalescence stage, and the scores of athymia, suicide, difficulty falling asleep, early awake, agitate, somatization, constitutional symptom, hypochondriasis, loss of weight, insight, diurnal variation, feeling of despair, anosognosia, sense of inferiority and total HAMD scores at convalescence stage were all significantly higher than that at the acute stage, but the scores of blockage, psychoanxietas, derealization, symptom of over-absorption mind, compel symptom, sense of capability decrease at the acute stage were all significantly higher than that at the convalescence stage (P<0.05).ConclusionThe manifestations of depression in the cerebral concussion patients were not completely the same, so the mental intervention should be in direction.

AIM: To explore the relationship between methylation status of promoter region 5′CpG island and the biological phenotype in human colorectal cancer RKO cell lines. METHODS: RKO cells were treated with selective DNA methyltransferase (DNMTs) inhibitor, 5-Aza-2′-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-CdR), for 72 h. Methylation-specific PCR (MSP), T-A clone and DNA sequence analysis were used to detect 5′CpG island methylation status of p16/CDKN2 tumor suppresor gene. Cell growth, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis were analyzed by MTT, flow cytometry (FCM), fluorescent dye staining and transmission electron microscope. RESULTS: DNMTs inhibitor (5-Aza-CdR) effectively reversed the hypermethylation status of 5′CpG island. The effects of 5-Aza-CdR on cell growth inhibition (P

BackgroundCycloplegia is well accepted for the first refraction estimate in childhood.Yet no good evidence is offered in terms of which cyclopegia is preferable for the different ages and refractive status in children. ObjectiveThis study aimed to compare the effectiveness of cycloplegia between 1% cyclopentolate and 1% atropine sulphate before optometry in ametropia children. Methods This was a prospective clinical trail.The self matched-pairs control randomly observation was designed.One hundred and sixty eyes of 80 children of 4-9 years old with refractive error were recruited in this study.1% cyclopentolate eye drops were topically administered once per 5 minutes for 3 times and 1%optometry was performed 45 minutes after eye dropping.Three days after that,1% atropine then was used 3 times per day for consecutive 3 days and again the refractive diopter was obtained.The differences of the results in autorefraction,retinoscope and residual accommodation were compared between 1% cyclopentolate and 1%atropine eye drops.This trail was approved by the Ethic Committee and written informed consent was obtained from each custodian. Results The autorefraction values were ( 0.55 ±3.52 ) D and ( 2.22 ±3.52) D before and after the administration of 1% atropine with the difference value( 1.66± 1.62) D (t =13.02,P =0.00 ).The autorefraction value was( 1.74±3.46 ) D after dropping of 1% cyclopentolate and the difference value from that of 1% atropine was (0.48 ± 0.46) D ( t =13.08,P =0.00 ).The cy(e)lplegic autorefractions of atropine and cyclopentolate have strong correlation ( R2 =0.98,P =0.000 ).The residual accommodation values were ( 0.32± 0.44 )D and(0.05±0.41 ) D after dropping of 1% cyclopentolate and 1% atropine with the difference( 0.27±0.55 ) D ( t =4.56,P =0.00 ).The difference value of refractive diopter was (0.31 ± 0.37 )D in myopic group,(0.56±0.48 )D in moderate hypermetropic group and(0.59±0.50)D in high myopic group,and that of myopic group was significantly lower than the moderate hypermetropic group ( t =- 3.14,P =0.00 ).No significant difference was found in the autorefraction difference between 4-6 years group and 7 -9 years group [ ( 0.61 ±0.53 ) D vs ( 0.49 ±0.39 ) D ] ( t =1.21,P=0.23 ).The hidden value because of accommodation had weak correlation with the difference value between atopine and cyclopentolate(r=0.43,P=0.00). ConclusionsBoth 1% atropine and 1% cyclopentolate have the cycloplegic effects.This study suggestes that 1% atropine should be used for the optometry of hypermetropia children.

Objective:
To evaluate the effect of "healthy eating plate" based dietary management on diabetic inpatients.
Methods:
The patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) admitted to Daishan First People's Hospital from November 2019 to November 2020 were selected and randomly divided into two groups. The intervention group was given "healthy eating plate" based dietary management, while the control group was given routine dietary management. Demographic data and physical examination results were collected. Fasting blood glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) were detected at admission, discharge and 3 months after discharge, and compared between the two groups by covariance and generalized estimating equation.
Results:
here were 52 patients aged (55.83±9.67) years in the intervention group, with 29 (55.77%) males and 23 (44.23%) females. There were 53 patients aged (57.54±11.09) years in the control group, with 32 (60.38%) males and 21 (39.62%) females. There were no significant differences in FPG, HbA1c, TG and TC levels between two groups at discharge (P>0.05). The level of HbA1c in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the control group at 3 months after discharge (P<0.05); there were no significant differences in FPG, TG and TC levels (P>0.05).
Conclusion
The "healthy eating plate" based dietary management can better control the blood glucose of diabetic patients, and can help maintain the dietary treatment. It is worthy of promotion in diabetic patients.
8.Importance for surveillance on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease among Chinese adults.
Chinese Journal of Epidemiology 2018;39(5):541-545
The first national surveillance of COPD in mainland China was carried out in 2014, with the nationally representative data obtained. The national surveillance was significantly important for the monitoring of prevalence, risk factors, and changing trend of COPD among Chinese adults aged ≥ 40. The surveillance was also important in the development of national COPD prevention and control policy, the evaluation of prevention and control progress, the establishment of COPD comprehensive surveillance system, and the building of a professional COPD monitoring and prevention team. In this editorial, we briefly introduced the method and content of COPD surveillance, and reported the rate of spirometry examination and COPD awareness among adults aged ≥40 in China. We also analyzed the rate of main risk factors for COPD, such as tobacco smoking, occupational exposure to dust or chemical and indoor exposure to biomass or coal, and the distribution of high-risk population. This study provided fundamental data for the prevention and control of COPD in China.

With the accelerating process of population aging in China, social pension system has been rapidly developed, but its service quality remains poor. How to provide quality and efficient elderly care services has become a major livelihood issue of general public. The existing evaluation standards for service quality in the elderly care institutions vary greatly in terms of literature review and practice, and they have only single perspective and lack systematic review. Based on the three-dimensional theory of "structure-process-result" quality evaluation, this paper systematically compares and evaluates the evaluation index system and evaluation management mechanism of service quality of pension institutions in typical countries and regions, and provides an evidence-based basis for establishing an evaluation management system, which is in line with China's national conditions and covers evaluation principles, subject and object, regulation, rewards and punishments, and classifications.

Objective: To study the role of glucocorticoid i n the integration of sympathetic nervous system and cardiovascular activity. Methods: Neurons in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) were extracelluarly recorded and identified as the presympathetic neurons of adult rats. The spontaneous discharge of the presympathetic neurons in the RVLM were observed by bolus intravenous injection of corticosterone (50, 100, 150 μg/kg) . Results: The firing rate of 12 presympathetic neurons was incr eased by intravenous application of corticosterone (P<0.05), and this effect showed a dose-dependent manner. The latency of excitatory effect was (104±2 5) s. Conclusion: Corticosterone can rapidly excite the presym pathetic neurons in the RVLM, this action might be involved in the integration o f sympathetic nervous system through the “rapid membrane effects”.
