ObjectiveTo investigate the quality of life (QOL) of old patients with cardiovascular diseases in community. Methods100 old patients with cardiovascular diseases in Xiluoyuan, Beijing were investigated with WHOQOL-BREF. ResultsThe QOL-BREF scores in the dimensions of physical health, psychology, social relationships, and environment were (53.21±11.50), (53.27±15.99), (54.29±14.41) and (57.65±15.30) respectively. There was not significant difference between self-rating scores and scores in four dimensions of QOL-BREF (P>0.05). There was not significant difference of QOL-BREF scores in four dimensions between male and female, nor the ones whether complicated with diabetes (P>0.05). The incidence of satisfaction was 31% for QOL, 23% for health, and 62% for the healthy system as self-report. ConclusionThe QOL of the patients is related to diseases.

Acidolysis kinetics on the process of the hydrolysis acidification by using glucose as the only energy sources was researched.It was concluded that the acidolysis kinetics constants are V_(max)=8.45d~(-1) and K_s=1089mg/L,under the circumstances of a temperature 37℃?0.5℃and the influent pH value 6.5.The results show that the rate of anaerobic acidification process is greater than that of completed an- aerobic or anoxic process.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the research of antidepressive agents from the literatures perspectively in order to develop antidepressive agents in China.METHODS:The literatures about antidepressive agents recorded in PubMed database from Jan.1st,1998 to Oct.31th,2008 were analyzed with bibliometric methods.RESULTS:A total of 17784 literatures on antidepressive agents were recorded and the total number increased slowly.A total of 96 literatures were collected from Chinese literatures which increased rapidly in recent years.34 literatures among 74 literatures during 1998~2007 are in English and 40 in Chinese involved 56 institutes and 51 magazines.Literatures collected from Beijing took up the greatest proportion.CONCLUSION:It is needed to enlarge investment and scale of scientific research on antidepressive agents continuously.

Objective To investigate correlation between post-stroke depression (PSD) and multiple factors during onset of acute cerebral infarction. Methods Depression was measured with Hamilton Depression Rating Scales (HAMD) in 58 patients with acute cerebral infarction, and their neurological function were evaluated by neurological function defect (NFD) score. Their immunoglobulin G (IgG) index was calculated and level of nitric oxide (NO) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was measured. Lesion and nature of cerebral infarction in 58 patients with acute stroke were located by CT. All the data were statistically analyzed with student-t test and ? 2 test, as well as linear regression model. Results Seventeen of 58 patients of stroke appeared PSD with an occurrence rate of 29.3%. Occurrence rate of PSD was significantly higher in patients with cerebral infarction than in those with cerebral hemorrhage 2=4.86, P

BACKGROUND:Tol-like receptor (TLR) and its signaling pathway play an important role in autoimmune diseases, hypersensitivity, inflammation, apoptosis and transplant rejection; however, its effects on immune pathogenesis of Henoeh-Schonlein purpura in children have not been fuly elucidated. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the TLR2 expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cels in children with Henoeh-Schonlein purpura and its correlation with immune response. METHODS: Sixty-four children with Henoeh-Schonlein purpura were divided into two groups: non-renal damage group (n=36) and renal damage group (n=28). Meanwhile, another 30 healthy children subjected to health examination acted as control group. Flow cytometry and florescent quantitative PCR were employed to detect TLR2 protein and mRNA expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cels, respectively. ELISA was used to detect plasma interferon-γ and interleukin-4 levels and transforming growth factor β and interleukin-10 levels secreted from Treg cels. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Levels of interferon-γ and interferon-γ/interleukin-4 in the children with Henoeh-Schonlein purpura were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05), while the level of interleukin-4 was higher than the control group (P < 0.05). The expression of TLR2 protein and mRNA was significantly higher in the Henoeh-Schonlein purpura children than the healthy children (P < 0.05) and significantly higher in the renal damage group than the non-renal damage group (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the levels of interleukin-10 and transforming growth factor β were significantly higher in the children with Henoeh- Schonlein purpura (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that Henoeh-Schonlein purpura children have increased levels of TLR2 protein and mRNA in the peripheral blood mononuclear cels, and exhibit immune imbalance. TLR2 is involved in the pathogenesis of Henoeh-Schonlein purpura, and transforming growth factor β can be used to evaluate Treg immune response and provide reference for diagnosis, treatment of prognosis of Henoeh-Schonlein purpura children.

Objective To explore the effect of community comprehensive rehabilitation on quality of life in patients with stroke sequelae under the family medical service mode. Methods From October, 2013 to October, 2014, 51 patients with stroke sequelae received compre-hensive rehabilitation intervention for three months, including rehabilitation training, rehabilitation guidance, health education and psycho-logical counseling. They were assessed with modified Barthel index (MBI), WHO-Disability Assessment Schedule (WHO-DASⅡ), Short Form 36 Health Survey Questionnaire (SF-36), Brain Injury Community Rehabilitation Outcome Scales (BICRO-39), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) before and after intervention. Results The scores of physical functionning, role physical, general health, mental health, social functioning and the total score in SF-36 increased after intervention (t>2.072, P<0.05). The scores of so-cial contact, locomotivity, self handling transaction ability and the total score in BICRO-39 decreased after intervention (t>2.434, P<0.05), as well as the scores of getting along with people, housework and society and participation in WHO-DAS II (t>2.507, P<0.05). Conclusion In the community health service, comprehensive rehabilitation guided by multidisciplinary rehabilitation team can facilitate to improve the quality of life in patients with stroke sequela.

Objective To investigate clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) combined with thrombosis. Methods One case with refractory MPP associated with thrombosis was retrospectively analyzed with literature review. Results The patient presented with respiratory symptom at the onset, while melosalgia and decreased respiratory sound in left lung were occurred during anti-infection therapy. Thereafter, thrombosis of lower extremity veins and pulmonary embolism were confirmed by a series of examinations. Serum anti-phospholipid antibody was positive. Finally, the patient was treated with a combination of anticoagulation and immunosuppressive therapies. Conclusions The mechanism of refractory MPP combined with thrombosis may be associated with excessive inflammatory response and endothelial cells injury. The thrombosis complication should be suspected in patient of Mycoplasma pneumonia infection with positive anti-phospholipid antibody and low concentration of protein C and immunosuppressive therapy should be implemented promptly.

Community health service centers provide basic medical and public health service for the residents in community with the contract service mode.In the last five years our center started the construction of primary care team.The family physicians,nurses and public health workers formed the basis of health care team,and pharmacists and nutritionists actively joined the team work.The pharmacists provided health education of rational medication,participated in the ward-rounds of home beds and comprehensive management of chronic disease patients,and also conducted counseling clinic of drug use.The clinical nutritionists provided special nutrition guidance for patients,delivered nutrition education and conducted nutrition clinic.The involvement of pharmacists and nutritionist in contract service has greatly ungraded the primary care team,improved the quality of comprehensive care and provided better service for the people in the community.
