Objective To explore the anxiety and depression in caregivers of patients in persist vegetative state and minimally conscious state, and discuss the related factors. Methods From January, 2010 to December, 2014, 60 caregivers of 60 patients in persist vegetative state and minimally conscious state were assessed with Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS). The sex, ed-ucation level, relation to the patients and family income of the caregivers, and the age of the patients and number of the families of the pa-tients were recorded, and analyzed with Logistic regression. Results 55%caregivers were found in anxiety, and 48.4%in depression. The fe-male caregivers (OR>6.870, P<0.05), the number of the family of the patients (OR<0.233, P<0.05) and age of the patients (OR<0.294, P<0.05) were independent factors associated with anxiety and depression. Conclusion The caregivers of patients in persist vegetative state and minimally conscious state are troubled in anxiety and depression, especially the female, while age and the number of the families of patient may be important factors for it.

Objective To evaluate the distribution of neuropeptide Y and its receptors in the cardinal ligament and uterosaeral ligaments in women with and without pelvic organ prolapse(POP).Methods Sixteen patients with pelvic organ prolapse entered the study.All patients were evaluated by pelvic organ prolapse quantitation(POP-Q).Group A consisted of six patients with grade Ⅰ,Ⅱ POP,and group B comprised ten patients with grade Ⅲ,Ⅳ POP.Eight nonfunctional ovarian tumor patients without POP were recruited as control subjects.Biopsies of cardinal ligament and uterosacral ligament were obtained from each woman during surgery.Immunohistochemical study with polyclonal antibody against a general nerve marker S-100 and neuropeptide Y was performed on paraffin-embedded sections of all the samples.In addition,mRNA levels of the human NPY-Y1 and NPY-Y2 receptors were assessed in both patients and controls.Results (1)NPY immunoreactivities were identified in both cardinal ligament and uterosacral ligament. NPY immunoreactive nerve fibers were insignificantly lower in POP patients(P>0.05).The distribution pattern of NPY was similar in cardinal ligament and uterosacral ligament ( P>0. 05 ). (2)mRNAs encoding the NPY-Y1 and NPY-Y2 receptors were detected in the pelvic supporting tissues. Besides the expected NPY-Y1 PCR products, an additional 97 bp long amplicon originating from an alternative splicing event was found in most tissues studied. (3)In cardinal ligaments, mRNA encoding NPY-Y1 receptor had a significant difference between group A(3.9±1.0)and B (6. 0±1.5), and between control (3.4±0.9) and group B (P = 0. 019,P = 0. 004), while there was no significant difference between group A and controls(P =0. 082). In uteresacral ligaments, mRNA encoding NPY-Y1 receptor had no significant difference between Group A(6. 0±1.1) and B (6. 3±0. 7), or between group A and controls(4. 8±0. 7;P = 0. 151 ,P = 0. 690);while there was a significant difference between group B and controls (P = 0. 016).(4) mRNA encoding NPY-Y2 receptor had no significant difference between controls (0. 49±0. 34, 0. 61±0. 15 ), group A (0. 56±0. 21,0. 67±0. 13) and group B (0. 85±0. 43, 0. 69±0. 21 ) patients in cardinal ligament and uterosacral ligaments ( P>0. 05 ). (5) mRNA encoding NPY-Y1 ( P = 0. 084 ) and NPY-Y2 (P=0.470) receptors had no significant difference between cardinal ligament and uterosacral ligament.Conclusions There are NPY and NPY receptors in cardinal and uterosacral ligaments. The increased expression of NPY Y1 receptor may be related to local blood flow reduction and structural changes of pelvic supporting tissue.

Objective:To identify the function of extracellular soluble vimentin that promotes proliferation, activation and chemotaxis of inflammatory cells. Methods: The proliferation of rat splenocytes stimulated with vimentin was evaluated in vitro. The lymphocyte counts and vimentin-antibody levels of peripheral blood in mice immunized with vimentin were detected in vivo. Peritoneal macrophages were collected and cultured with different concentrations of vimentin to detect the effect on phagocytosing chicken red blood cells. The chemotaxis of NIH3T3 fibroblast towards vimentin was observed in transwell chamber. Results:In vitro vimentin dose dependently promoted the proliferation of splenocytes. The proliferation indexes of primed and naive splenocytes cultured with 16μg/ml vimentin were reached up to ( 196. 0 ± 9. 7 )% and ( 208. 9 ± 4. 6 )% respectively without significant difference. In vivo vimentin significantly enhanced the lymphocytes number(109 L-1)of peripheral blood(5. 74±0. 51 vs. 1. 69±0. 13)and the levels of vimentin specific antibody( OD value 2. 31 ± 0. 06 vs. 0. 19 ± 0. 08 ) that shown no significant difference from immunization with vimentin plus CFA. In vitro vimentin dose dependently stimulated phagocytic ability of macrophages and performed the chemotactic effects on NIH3T3 fibroblasts. Conclusion:Extracellular soluble vimentin promotes the proliferation,activation and chemotaxis of concerned inflammatory cells and possesses the functions as an alarmin.
