Objective To explore the effect of psychological intervention on knee osteoarthritis patients. Methods A total of 92 OA patients were included into a one-month randomized controlled followup study, 47 of them were treated with combined psychological intervention, the other 45 cases were routinely treated. All cases were investigated on their demographic information , physiological parameters and score of the short form-36 health survey questionnaires (SF-36), self-rating depression scale (SDS) and self-rating anxiety scale (SAS). Statistics method used t-test and variance analysis. Results There was no signi-ficant difference in terms of the physiologic parameters changes between before and after treatment (P＞0.05) of the two groups. ① The SDS scores of the two groups decreased gradually after the treatment (P＜0.05),while there was remarkable descending of SDS score in patients of psychological intervention group (P＜0.05). ② The SAS scores of the two groups decreased gradually after the treatment (P＜0.05). And there was no significant difference between the two groups (P＞0.05). Compared with the non-intervention group, the fourfactors scores including physical function, pain, vitality and role limitations due to emotional problems of the intervention group were significantly improved (P＜0.05). Anegative correlation was observed between SDS and PF, BP, GH, VT and SF (r=-0.739-0521,P＜0.05). SAS was correlated negatively with VT and SF (r=-0.699～-0.475,P＜0.05). Conclusion Psychological intervention could ameliorate the depression of knee osteoarthritis patients. The quality of life of knee osteoarthritis patients can be improved by psychological intervention.

Objective To evaluate the influence of duration of laser irradiation on histomorphometric meas- urements in experimentally tenotomized and repaired rabbit Achilles tendons and to explore the best irradiation time. Methods A total of 20 male New Zealand rabbits aged 10-12 weeks were used and randomly divided into 4 groups:a control group and three experimental groups.All the animals underwent surgical excised and then repair of their Achillis tendon.The animals in the control group were then treated with sham laser irradiation,while those in the three experimental groups were treated with 10,20 and 30 minutes of He-Ne laser irradiation(632.8 nm, 18.9 mW)daily,respectively,for 14 days.On the 28th day after surgical operation,the animals were sacrificed and their Achilles tendons were sampled.HE stain and Van Geison stain were used to observe morphometric changes of tendons.The SDS-PAGE electrophoresis method and CS-930 photodensity scan instrument were employed to measure the content of typesⅠandⅢcollagen.Results it was shown that laser irradiation enhanced cell proliferation,cel- lular content,granulation tissue formation and collagen deposition in laser-treated tendons,especially in those irradia- ted for 20 minute daily,as compared to the control group.TypeⅠand typeⅢcollagen levels were significantly in- creased at the 28th day in the healing tendons and the ratio of collagenⅢtoⅠincreased in all the 3 experimental groups,and the increase of both collagen content and ratio of collagen typeⅢtoⅠwas significantly greater in those ir- radiated 20 minutes daily(P

AIM To investigate the effects of trifluoperazine on naloxone precipitated withdrawal symptoms in morphine dependent rats and mice, and its pharmacological mechanisms. METHODS\ Naloxone precipitated tests in morphine dependent rats and mice were used. RESULTS\ Trifluoperazine(2～20 mg?kg -1 ) dose dependently inhibited naloxone precipitated withdrawal jumping, wet dog shakes, paw tremor and weight loss in morphine dependent mice. With ip trifluoperazine (5～20 mg?kg -1 ), most of positive withdrawal symptoms, including jumping, wet dog shakes, defeacation, weight loss, teeth chattering, salivation, diarrhea, ptosis and irritating, induced by naloxone in morphine dependent rats were significantly reduced. Apomorphine (2～8 mg?kg -1 ), a mixed DA 1/DA 2 receptor agonist, did not affect inhibition of trifluoperazine on naloxone precipitated withdrawal symptoms in morphine dependent mice. However, nifedipine(5～20 mg?kg -1 ), a L type voltage sensitive calcium channel blocker, enhanced a pharmacological action of trifluoperazine against naloxone precipitated symptoms in morphine dependent mice. CONCLUSION\ Trifluoperazine attenuates naloxone precipitated withdrawal symptoms in morphine dependent rats and mice by inhibiting the activity of post receptor calmodulin, but it does not antagonizes DA 2 receptor, in central nervous system.

Objective To investigate the prognostic value of heart rate turbulence (HRT) in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Methods From October 2006 to May 2009, a total of 96 elderly CHF inpatients were selected, and the clinic data were recorded. Based on the echocardiogram and dynamic electrocardiogram, the differences of sinus HRT index of patients with different cardiac function classification were analyzed. During 9-28 months medical follow-up, the treatment endpoint was death from heart disease. Based on Logisitc regression, the prognostic values of HRT, age, hypertension, diabetes, myocardial infarction (MI), left ventricular ejection fraction, ACEI and β- adrenergic blocker for death of CHF patients were analyzed.Results There was no significant difference in HRT between grade Ⅱ and grade Ⅲ cardiac function (χ~2 = 1.60, P>0. 05), and between grade Ⅲ and grade Ⅳ cardiac function (χ~2 = 1.43, P>0. 05). But there was significant difference in HRT between grade Ⅱ and grade Ⅳ cardiac function patients χ~2 =9.84, P<0. 05), and HRT was weaken in grade Ⅳ group. The average follow-up time was (18. 0±9.6) months. Of all 96 patients, there were 34 dead of heart disease. There were correlations of death of CHF with HRT, low LVEF (≤ 45%), age (≥65 years), diabetes, MI and classification of heart function. Conclusions The sinus HRT in CHF patients has a favorable prognostic value.

Objective To explore the sensitivity regulatory mechanism of ziprasidone capsules on prolactin( PRL) and fast insulin( FINS) in male adolescents with episode schizophrenia.Methods According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, 52 adolescent males selected from January 2015 to March 2016 were confirmed the psychiatric treatment of schizophrenia in our hospital, their ages, ziprasidone capsule usage and suffering schizophrenia stage of disease, height, waist circumference, body weight, hip circumference, and in the morning fasting blood glucose, FINS and PRL content were recorded.Mathematical model were used to calculate QUICKIFINS sensitivity index, and in accordance with the classification criteria BMI, 52 male adolescents with schizophrenia were divided into normal group and overweight group.The correlation detection, and anthropometric parameters, PRL and FINS sensitivity parameters were analysed.Results PRL and FINS, QUICKI indicators were not correlated(r=0.153, P >0.05; r=-0.101, P >0.05) statistically significant; ziprasidone capsule dose has a positive correlation with FINS(r =0.376,P <0.05), and QUICKI negative indicators (r=-0.362,P<0.05); waist-hip ratio or fat content ratio has no correlation with FINS, QUICKI indicators, but BMI and FINS has a positive correlation (r=0.389,P<0.05) and QUICKI indicators with negative correlation(r=-0.413,P<0.05);PRL level between normal group and overweight group was not statistically significant, and levels of FINS in overweight group(10.89 ±8.23) mU/L was higher than the normal group(5.79 ±3.18) mU/L, the difference was statistically significant(P <0.05).QUICKI index between the two groups was statistically significant, and the overweight of FINS was sensitivity less than the normal group.Conclusion Ziprasidone capsule has no relationship with PRL and FINS resistance in the treatment of adolescent patients with schizophrenia, while body mass index correlated with FINS resistance, and ziprasidone capsule dose correlated with FINS resistance.

Results After training, cog-nitive function and self- care ability after treatment greatly alleviated compared with those before train-ing. Conclusions Cognitive training can improve cognitive function and self- care ability of patients with Alzheimer's disease and facilitate their life quality.

Aim To investigate the protective effects of Aplysin on ethanol-induced oxidative damage in rat pri-mary hepatocytes. Methods Rat primary hepatocytes were obtained via the portal vein collagenaseⅣin situ perfusion technique followed by a Percoll density gradi-ent centrifuge. MTT test was used to determine the op-timum dose of Aplysin and ethanol, and detect the cell vitality in primary hepatocytes. Supernatants of primary hepatocytes were harvested to measure AST and LDH level, and the SOD, GSH-PX activities and MDA con-tent in primary hepatocytes were observed. Flow cy-tometry was used to detect the cell apoptosis rate. DNA damage in primary hepatocytes was detected by single-cell gel electrophoresis assay. The level of mitochon-drial membrane potential in primary hepatocytes was tested by fluorogenic probe JC-1 . The CYP2 E1 activity in primary hepatocytes was detected by colorimetry. The proteins of CYP2 E1 were detected by Western blot. Results 300 mmol·L-1 dose of ethanol and 30 mg·L-1 dose of Aplysin were the optimal dosages and were used in the subsequent experiments. Hepatocyte vitality was significantly increased in Aplysin group compared to that in ethanol group, and Aplysin inhibi-ted the release of AST and LDH(P<0. 05). For Apl-ysin treatment group, the activities of hepatocyte SOD and GSH were significantly increased, and MDA was markedly lowered as compared with those in ethanol group( P <0. 05 ) . Aplysin could alleviate hepatocyte apoptosis significantly, and hepatocyte DNA damage rates of Ⅱ ~Ⅲ level and Ⅳ level were significantly lowered in Aplysin treatment group as compared with those in ethanol group, and Aplysin had evident im-provement in alcohol induced mitochondria damage of hepatocyte. Primary hepatocyte activities and protein expression of CYP2 E1 were markedly lowered in Aply-sin treatment group as compared with those in ethanol group(P<0. 05). Conclusion Aplysin has protective effects on liver oxidative damage induced by alcohol of primary cultured rat hepatocytes by blocking CYP2 E1 activation, relieving oxidative stress, and sharpening the oxidation resistance ability.

BACKGROUND: Posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD) arises as a delayed and /or protracted response to a stressful event or situation of an exceptionally threatening or catastrophic nature. There have been reports about natural disasters causing PTSD, but there have been few reports about PTSDcaused by technological disasters. Our study investigated the mental status of those survivors after a serious explosion.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the characteristics and the factors of impact of PTSD caused by technological disasters.DESIGN: A case controlled study of the survivors of a momentous explosion.SETTING: A provincial mental health center.PARTICIPANTS: A serious explosion happened in Urumqi on September 8, 2000. Twenty-eight survivors(as the study group) who were still hospitalized for treatment 3 -5 months after the accident were involved in this study. And in the control group were 30 normal persons whose general demographic data were the same as those patients.METHODS: A psychiatrist told the subjects the following: The objective and meaning of the test, and explained the self-making questionnaire about their general condition, symptom checklist (SCL-90), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale(SDS), cornell medical index(CMI), the questionnaire on dealing styles, the questionnaire on social support, and others-evaluating scale, incident effect scale(IES); a list of stress reaction symptoms.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Main resulta:①Clinical feature of PTSD caused by the technological disaster.②the related factors to PTSD in the technologal disaster.Secondary results: Comparison of the results between the two groups in IES, CMI, SDS and SAS.RESULTS: A total of 22(79% ) survivors met the criteria as PTSD. There were significant differences in all the assessments(IES, CMI, SDS, SAS,SCL-90) between the study group and the control group (t =3.62-8.17, P ＜ 0.01 ) . The diagnosis of PTSD was positively correlated with the level of traumatic exposure( r = 0. 420, P ＜ 0. 05), and negatively correlated with the degree of satisfaction with the post-event solutions( r = 0. 420, P＜ 0.05), positively correlated with IES scoring and the level of heart pain ( r = 0. 389 - 0. 665, P ＜ 0. 01 ) . The total scores of IES were positively correlated with the level of exposure ( r = 0. 478, P ＜ 0.05 ).CONCLUSION: The incidence of PTSD after explosion was high, and its occurrence was related with the degree of exposure in the event and that of the satisfaction with the post-event solutions.
