Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of detecting serum anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibody (ASCA)IgG and IgA in the diagnosis of Crohn′s disease(CD).Methods A total of 51 patients with CD were enrolled as CD group and 22 healthy volunteers as healthy control group.The serum samples of both groups were collected.ASCA-IgG and ASCA-IgA were determined with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).According to Montreal standard,patients with CD were divided into subgroup according to the age of onset (A),lesion (L),clinical behavior (B).The sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value of both groups were calculated.Chi-square test was performed for count data analysis.Results The sensitivities of ASCA-IgG and ASCA-IgA in CD group were 45 .1 % and 35 .3%,respectively,while in the healthy control group which were 0 and 9.1 %,respectively.There were significant differences between two groups (χ2 =14.49 and 5 .31 ,both P <0.05 ).The specificities and positive predictive values of ASCA-IgG in CD group were both 100.0%,and those of ASCA-IgA were 91 .0% and 90.0%.The sensitivities of ASCA-IgG in A1 ,A2 and A3 groups were 75 .0%,36.4% and 57.1 %,respectively,and those of ASCA-IgA,were 25 .0%,30.3% and 50.0%,respectively.The sensitivities of ASCA-IgG in L1 ,L2 and L3 groups were 38.5 %,37.5 % and 57.1 %,respectively,and those of ASCA-IgA were 30.8%,31 .3% and 42.9%,respectively.The sensitivities of ASCA-IgG in B1 , B2 and B3 groups were 45 .2%,50.0% and 25 .0%,respectively,and those of ASCA-IgA were 29.0%, 50.0% and 25 .0%,respectively.There was no significant difference in the sensitivities of ASCA-IgG and IgA between the subtgroups of CD group (all P >0.05 ).The sensitivities of ASCA-IgG in CD patients with complications and without complications were 56.3% and 26.3%,respectively,and there was significant difference (χ2 =4.31 ,P <0.05).Conclusions Serum ASCA-IgG is not suitable for population screening,however it has certain value for the differential diagnosis of CD.The clinical value of detecting ASCA-IgG is higher than that of detecting ASCA-IgA.

[Objectives]To probe into the nursing effects of comprehensive psychological nursing intervention for modified radical mastectomy in breast cancer patients. [Methods]160 breast cancer patients were randomly divided into Group A, control group B, experimental group(n=80). Group A was conventional y nursed as required, while to Group B, a supplement of comprehensive psychological nursing intervention was added, which concerned with pre-surgery cognition, emotion and attitude. [Results] Group B showed a notable improvement in their anxiety state after the nursing intervention, compared with Group A(P<0.05). In addition, the rate of satisfaction was far increased, and the average number of hospitalizing days was sharply decreased compared with Group A(P<0.05).[Conclusions]Comprehensive psychological nursing intervention for modified radical mastectomy in breast cancer patients can ease the pre-surgery anxiety, decrease the average number of hospitalizing days and increase the rate of hospitalizing satisfaction. It is proved to be an effective nursing intervention.

Idiopathic rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder is recognized as a prodromal stage of α-synucleinopathies such as Parkinson′s disease, Lewy body dementia and multiple system atrophy. It is important to timely identify early predictors that can predict early conversion into α-synucleinopathies. This review provided an update on classic and novel early predictors of α-synucleinopathies in patients with idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder and provided a comprehensive understanding on the phenotypic transformation of the disease.

Objective To analyze the characteristics in the incarcerated inm ate’s death, investigate the m ain cause of death of the incarcerated inm ate and provide som e inform ation for forensic investigation. Methods The cases from the forensic m edical center of Shanxi Medical U niversity from 2005 to 2013 were selected. The statistical analysis w as perform ed by using the incarcerated inm ate’s gender, age, cause of death, m anner of death, and disease as the m arkers. Results There were 100 men, 5 w omen in the 105 incarcerated inm ates;the age range w as from 16 to 65 years;Inm ates were mostly died of nat-ural diseases, m ainly in the respiratory and cardiovascular diseases;the m ain unnatural death w as suicide w ith a rate of 54.5%. Conclusion Atpresent, most incarcerated inm ate’s death are due to natural dis-eases. The prison should im prove incarcerated inm ate’s lives, w ork and health care conditions, and strengthen supervision of law enforcement.

Objective To analyze causative factors for and therapeutic effect of total glucosides of paeony (TGP) on palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP).Methods Ninety patients with PPP were recruited in this study.A questionnaire survey was carried out to collect clinical data from these patients,and a patch test to identify contact allergens for these patients.All the patients were randomly divided into two groups:observation group treated with TGP capsule 0.6 g thrice a day,and control group treated with tripterygium glycosides tablets 20 mg thrice a day.Both groups topically applied mometasone furoate cream once a day.The efficacy and side effects were evaluated 4 and 8 weeks after initiation of treatment.Results Of the 90 patients,the ratio of male to female was 1 ∶ 1.64,smokers amounted to 42.22%,and 23 (26.67%) reported a history of infection before the onset of PPP.As the patch test showed,potassium dichromate and nickel sulfate were the most common contact allergens in these patients.The response rate was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group after 4 weeks of treatment (64.44% vs.40.00%,x2 =5.388,P < 0.05),but similar between the two groups after 8 weeks of treatment (88.89% vs.80.00%,x2 =1.353,P > 0.05).No significant difference was observed in the occurrence of adverse reactions between the two groups (17.78% vs.11.11%,x2 =0.809,P > 0.05).Conclusions Smoking may play a certain role in the development of PPP,and infection seems to be a primary inducing factor.TGP combined with mometasone furoate cream is effective for the treatment of PPP.

Objective The study aimed to compare the vector system with the hand instrument in the pain severity during scaling and root planning.Methods 60 periodontal patients were randomly divided into two groups for supportive periodontal therapy (SPT):the experimental group (using vector system) and the control group (using gracey instruments),with 30 cases in each group.And the painfulness after SPT was evaluated by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).Results 66% patients felt mild pain during the supportive periodontal therapy with the application of vector system,while 36% patients felt mild pain in the control group.24 patients in the experimental group accepted vector system for SPT and 23 patients in the experimental group felt less fear of the treatment.Conclusions Patients will feel less discomfort with the application of the vector system,therefore better compliance will be reached.And the cooperation of the doctors and nurses has great impact on the treatment effect.

Objective:To investigate the effect of compound Sanggou granules on the activity of Fib, AT-Ⅲ, t-PA, PAI-1 and t-PA/ PAI-1 in hyperlipidemic rats. Methods: The hyperlipidemic rat model was established by feeding high fat diet to SD male rats. Sixty healthy SD rats were randomly divided into five groups: the normal diet control group, high fat control group, high dose drug group, low dose drug group and fluvastatin sodium group. Four weeks after the administration, the blood samples were withdrawn for the determination of the levels of blood lipid, Fib, A-Ⅲ, t-PA, PAI-1 and t-PA/ PAI-1. Results:Compared with those of the normal diet control group, the levels of TC, LDL-C, Fib and PAI-1 were increased and the levels of HDL-C, t-PA , AT-Ⅲand t-PA/ PAI-1 were decreased significantly (P<0. 01) in the high fat control group. Compared with those of the high fat control group, the levels of TC, LDL-C, PAI-1 and Fib were decreased(P<0. 01 or P<0. 05),and the levels of HDL-C, t-PA AT-Ⅲ and t-PA/PAI-1 were in-creased significantly in the high dose drug group (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). The similar effects were shown in the fluvastatin sodium group with the stability of AT-Ⅲ. The levels of TC, LDL-C and PAI-1 were decreased and the levels of t-PA/PAI-1 were increased no-tably in the low dose drug group. Conclusion: Compound Sanggou granules exhibit hypolipidemic effect in hyperlipidemic rats, and can improve hypercoagulability and enhance anticoagulation and fibrinolytic activity in hyperlipidemic rats. Furthermore, compound Sanggou granules at high dose show the same effect as fluvastatin sodium, even in anticoagulation, the granules are superior to fluvasta-tin sodium.
