ObjectiveTo investigate and analyze the prevalence and risk factors of acute stress disorder (ASD) among survivors of road traffic accidents.MethodsA total of 206 participants ( 168 men,38 women) were administrated with the acute stress disorder scale (ASDS) 2 to 23 days after the traffic accidents.ResultsThere was a total of 61 (29.6％) possible ASD patients among all participants.Women had more serious ASD symptoms than men (male:36.70 ± 11.42; female:41.18 ± 12.58; P＜ 0.05 ),the married's ASD symptom severity was higher than the single's ( married:38.37 ± 11.94 ; single/widowed/divorced:30.86 ± 8.37 ; P ＜ 0.01 ),people with low degree of education had more severe ASD symptoms than the people who had high degree of education (P＜0.05) ; being elder( r=0.43,P＜0.01 ),having fear / helpless / horror experience of accident ( r=0.21,P＜ 0.01 ) were significantly correlated with the severity of ASD symptoms.According to linear regression analysis,age could positively predicted ASD symptoms ( β =0.29,P ＜ 0.01 ) too.ConclusionASD is a common mental problems among Chinese survivors of road traffic accident,and the main predictive factors of ASD include gender,age,marital status,the degree of education,whether there is fear / helpless / horror experience of accident.

Objective To investigate the effect of blood hemoperfusion with resin adsorption connected in series to continuous veno-venous hemofiltration ( HP + CVVH) on plasma cytokines such as TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6 as well as cellular immunity and prognosis of patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndromes (MODS). Methods It was a prospective,randomized clinical trial.A total of 30 patients diagnosed as MODS were randomly (random number) divided into routine treatment + HP + CVVH group (treatment group) and routine treatment + CVVH group (control group).In treatment group,patients received blood hemoperfusion with resin adsorption for 2 hours,and then CVVH for 10 hours every day for 3days.In control group,patients received CVVH for 12 hours every day for 3 days.The plasma samples of patients in treatment group were obtained 0 h,2 h,12 h,24 h,26 h,36 h,48 h,50 h,60 h,5 days,7 days and 10 days after renal replacement therapy.The plasma samples of patients in control group were obtained 0 h,12 h,24 h,36 h,48 h,60 h,5 days,7 days and 10 days after renal replacement therapy.All of these patients were monitored with APACHE Ⅱ score,T-lymphocytes subpopulations,blood lactate acid concentration,heart rate,respiration rate and oxygenation index. Results Plasma levels of TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-6 decreased dramatically after HP (P ＜ 0.01 ) and T-lymphocytes subpopulations CD3+,CD4 +,CD8 + and CD4 +/CD8 + increased after both HP + CVVH and CVVH.The differences in plasma levels of TNF-α,IL-1βand IL-6 of patients between two groups were not noticeably obvious at the intervals of 12 h,36 h,and 50 h after renal replacement therapy. But on the 5 th day after renal replacement therapy,plasma levels of TNF-α,IL-1βand IL-6 of patients in HP + CVVH group were lower than those in control group (P ＜ 0. 05 ).There were 5 fatal patients in HP + CVVH group and 6 patients died off in CVVH group during 28 days after treatment.Conclusions Both HP + CVVH and CVVH could lower the levels of plasma TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-6,and improve cellular immunity and clinical symptoms as well as signs.Compared with CVVH,plasma levels of TNF-α,IL- 1β and IL-6 were lower on the 5th day and increase rate of 28-day survival in HP + CVVH group.

Objective:To evaluate and compare electroacupunctures (EA) with different parameters and moxibustion at different temperatures influencing the activation of mast cells (MC) in Tianshu (ST 25) regions of visceral hyperalgesia model rats. Methods:Rats (except for model group) respectively accepted 1 mA or 3 mA EA or moxibustion at 43 or 4 to℃℃stimulate Tianshu (ST 25) points after randomization of the fifty visceral hyperalgesia model rats, and then were compared with that in model and normal groups. Number, degranulation numbers, degranulation rates in Tianshu (ST 25) regions MC of rats in each group were observed using toluidine blue staining. Abdominal withdrawl reflex (AWR) score was used to evaluate the rat visceral hyperalgesia reactions. Results:Compared with the normal group and the model group, MC numbers (P<0.05,P<0.01,P<0.01,P<0.01), degranulation numbers and degranulation rates (P<0.01,P<0.01, P<0.05,P<0.01) of Tianshu (ST 25) MC in regions tissues in 43℃ and 4℃ moxibustion groups, and 1 mA and 3 mAEA groups all increased significantly. Compared with the model group, AWR scores were significantly lower in 43℃ and 4℃ moxibustion groups, and 1 mA and 3 mAEA groups under the stimulation of 20 mmHg, 40 mmHg, 0 mmHg or 80 mmHg colorectal distension (CRD) (P<0.05 in 1 mA and 3 mA EA groups under the stimulation of 20 mmHg,P<0.01 in the other groups). AWR scores in 43℃ and 4℃moxibustion groups under the stimulation of 20 mmHg, 40 mmHg, 0 mmHg or 80 mmHg CRD were not significantly different from those in the normal group (allP>0.05); AWR scores in 1 mA EA group under the stimulation of 0 mmHg or 80 mmHg were significantly higher than that in the normal group (P<0.01); AWR score in 3 mA EA group under the stimulation of 0 mmHg was significantly higher than that in the normal group (P<0.01), and AWR scores in 3 mA EA group under the stimulation of 20 mmHg or 80 mmHg were also higher than that in the normal group (P<0.05). AWR scores were higher in 1 mA EA group under the stimulation of 40 mmHg or 80 mmHg than that in 4℃ moxibustion group (P<0.05); AWR score was higher in 3 mA EA group under the stimulation of 40 mmHg than that in 4℃ moxibustion group (P<0.05). Conclusion:There are differences among EA of different parameters and moxibustion of different temperatures in activating on Tianshu (ST 25) regions MC of visceral hyperalgesia model rats, as well as in improving the visceral hyperalgesia reaction. The effect of 4℃ moxibustion is the most significant.

Objective To observe the expression of adrenomedullin (ADM) mRNA in hepatic tissue of rats with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) complicated with hepatic injury.Methods Sixty-four SD rats were randomly divided into control group and ANP group with 32 rats in each group.In ANP group,ANP model was induced by retrograde injection of 5％ sodium taurocholate into biliopancreatic duct of rats.Rats in control group only received sham operation and pancreas manipulation.All the rats were sacrificed at 3,6,12,24 h after the operation.The serum levels of amylase,alanine aminotransferase (ALT),aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and ADM were detected.Pathological changes in pancreatic and hepatic tissue were examined.The expressions of ADM mRNA in hepatic tissue were evaluated by fluorescence quantitative PCR.Results The serum concentrations of amylase,ALT,AST were (7229 ±968),(174.2 ±28.0),(657.7 ± 139.0) U/L,which were significantly higher than those in control group [(2036 ± 292),(104.3 ± 22.1),(419.7 ± 86.3) U/L],and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜0.01).Pathological injury of pancreas and liver tissue in ANP gradually aggravated with time,and the pathological scores at 12 h were (11.60 ± 1.51),(2.60 ± 0.89),which were significantly higher than those in control group (1.20 ± 0.77,0),and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P＜0.01).The serum concentrations of ADM in ANP group increased at 3 h after ANP induction,and reached (38.53 ± 6.25)pg/ml at 12 h,which was significantly higher than that in control group [(28.99 ±3.92)pg/ml] ; the concentrations of ADM in liver tissue increased at 3 h after ANP induction,and reached (3.00 ± 1.49) at 6 h,which was significantly higher than that in control group (1.04 ± 0.20),and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Conclusions The expression of ADM mRNA in rat 's hepatic tissue increases in the early stage of ANP,and the serum concentration of ADM also increases.

Objective:To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) and herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion on anxiety and depression in patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) in remission. Methods:Sixty CD cases were randomly allocated into an EA group (n=30) and an herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion group (n=30) using the random number table by the ratio of 1:1. In addition, 30 healthy subjects were included in a control group. Bilateral Tianshu (ST 25), Qihai (CV 6) and Zhongwan (CV 12) were used in the EA and herbal cake- partitioned moxibustion groups. The treatment was done 3 times a week, for a total of 12 weeks. The efficacy was evaluated using self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS) and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom scores. Results:Before treatment, the SAS and SDS scores in CD patients were remarkably higher than those in healthy subjects. After EA or herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion treatment, the SAS and SDS scores were significantly decreased in both groups, showing significant intra-group differences (P<0.05); the symptom scores of abdominal pain (severity, frequency and duration), bowel sounds/flatus and general fatigue were significantly decreased, showing significant intra-group differences (P<0.05); however, there were no between-group statistical differences (P>0.05). Conclusion:Both EA and herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion can significantly decrease abnormally high SAS and SDS scores in CD patients as well as TCM symptom scores. The two therapies share similar effects in alleviating common symptoms and improving anxiety and depression.

Objective To investigate the effect of coupled plasma filtration adsorption (CPFA) on plasma cytokines:TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6,cellular immunity,blood lactate acid concentration,heart rate,respiration rate,oxygenation index,hemodynamics,blood cells counts,and prognosis in patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndromes (MODS).Methods This was a prospective,randomized clinical trial in 45 patients diagnosed as MODS.Patients were randomly assigned to hemoperfution with resin adsorption (HP) + continuous venous-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) group,CPFA group and CVVH group.The general clinical data,APACHE Ⅱ score,number of failure organ and previous mentioned biomarkers were documented.Blood samples were collected before and after blood filtration with any one of these procedures.The plasma samples were isolated and stored with frozen at-60 ℃.Data were statistically analyzed with SPSS 13.0 version software.Results In CPFA group,plasma cytokines,TNF-α、IL-1β、IL-6,decreased markedly after plasma adsorption for two hours (P ＜ 0.01);and plasma concentrations of IL-6 were further descended after subsequent CVVH for 10 hours (P ＜ 0.05).In HP + CVVH group,plasma cytokines,TNF-α、IL-1β、IL-6,decreased markedly after HP (P ＜ 0.01),and plasma concentrations of IL-6 were further descended after subsequent CVVH for 10 hours (P ＜ 0.05).In CVVH group,plasma cytokines,TNF-α、IL-1β、IL-6,decreased after CVVH for 12 hours (P ＜ O.05).Blood lactate acid concentration,heart rate,respiration rate,oxygenation index,T-lymphocytes subgroups (CD3 +,CD4 +,CD8 +,CD4 +/CD8 + ratio),clinical symptoms were improved and dose of vasoactive agent was reduced in the patients of three groups without differences among them.The counts of red blood cells,white blood cells and platelets after CPFA and CVVH showed no significant changes.There was no significant difference in blood cell counts between CPFA and CVVH groups.After HP + CVVH,there was a trend of decrease in platelet count (P ＜ 0.05).Platelet counts were significanfly higher in patients treated with CPFA and CVVH group than those in patients treated with HP + CVVH group (P ＜ 0.05).There were 6 patients died in HP + CVVH group,6 patients died in CPFA group and 5 patients died in CVVH group within 28days.Conclusions The comparison of efficacy of blood filtration among 3 modalities of HP + CVVH,CPFA and CVVH showed CPFA had higher capacity of Inflammatory medium scavenging than CVVH,and had less damage effect on blood visible component,especially on platelet compared with HP + CVVH.CPFA was an effective and safety modality in the treatment of the patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome.

BACKGROUND:Grafts are often used to reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament in clinical practice,while different types of grafts affect postoperative knee function and the development of rehabilitation programs. OBJECTIVE:To retrospectively analyze the effects of different graft types on muscle strength,joint stability,functional activities,and return to sports in patients after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. METHODS:Related studies were searched through PubMed,Web of Science,Cochrane,CNKI,and WANFANG databases.The Chinese and English key words were"anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction,autografts,allografts,artificial ligaments,bone-patellatendon-bone,quadriceps tendon autograft,hamstring tendon autograft,peroneus longus tendon autograft,rehabilitation,exercise,protocol,return to sport". RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Patients with bone-patellar tendon-bone grafts should strengthen centrifugal contraction exercises of quadriceps muscle,and pay attention to the recovery of quadriceps muscle endurance and explosive power in the later stage of rehabilitation.Compared with bone-patellar tendon-bone grafts and hamstring tendon grafts,significantly fewer patients with quadriceps tendon grafts met regression criteria within 5-8 months,and a longer training plan should be developed,with the training cycle lasting as long as possible to more than 3 years.The selection of hamstring tendon grafts should strengthen the hamstring muscle strength training under multiple angles,especially the cycle of bending the knee above 60° until at least 18 weeks after surgery.Patients who choose peroneus longus tendon graft should strengthen the muscle strength around the ankle,mainly the plantar muscle strength.In the selection of allograft,attention should be paid to the reduction of tension resistance of 20%after the graft is disinfected by low-dose radiation,so attention should be paid to knee stability training.Patients who choose artificial ligament grafts can gradually enhance quadriceps and hamstring muscle strength training within 3-6 weeks,pay attention to early proprioceptive exercises,and conduct targeted training on balance,jumping,and flexibility.

OBJECTIVETo study the frequency of rare blood group Lu(a-b-) phenotype in a population from Shanghai region, and to explore the molecular basis of Lu(a-b-) by detecting the Lu and Lu relative mediator gene EKLF/KLF1.

METHODSDonors from Shanghai region were screened for Lutheran blood group by monoclonal anti-Lub using serological methods. Individuals with Lu(b-) were determined Lua, P1 and i antigens. Fifteen exons of the LU gene and 3 exons of the EKLF/KLF1 gene for the identified Lu(a-b-) samples were amplified and sequenced.

RESULTSTen Lu(a-b-) donors were obtained from 44 331 donors from Shanghai region. No homozygous or heterozygous mutations were found in the LU gene, whilst 7 mutations in EKLF/KLF1 gene were identified in the 10 samples.

CONCLUSIONThe frequency of rare Lu(a-b-) blood group in Shanghai was approximately 0.02%, and all the individuals had an In(Lu) phenotype. The molecular basis of such samples may be related to mutations in the EKLF/KLF1 gene.

BACKGROUND:Moxibustion products produced in moxibustion, such as moxa smoke, are one of hotspots in moxibustion research. Metabonomics can be used to more comprehensively and systematicaly study the effects of moxibustion products on the body.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the efect of diferent concentrations of moxibustion products on urine metabonomics of rats.
METHODS:Forty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal control group, low-dose moxibustion products group, middle-dose moxibustion products group, high-dose moxibustion products group, high-dose moxibustion products recovery group. In the latter four groups, rats from each group were exposed to the mixture of moxibustion products and pure gas at ratios of 0.4:2.0, 0.8:2.0, 1.6:2.0, 1.6:2.0, respectively, 4 hours daily, 5 days weekly, totaly for 60 days. After 60-day high-dose moxibustion products stimulation, rats in the high-dose moxibustion products recovery group were raised in normal air for 21 days. Rats in the normal control group were raised in normal air for 60 days without any moxibustion products. Then we analyzed the changes of urine metabonomics in al group rats.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Totaly 108 metabolites were identified in the urine of rats using gas chromatography/time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and 64 metabolites were verified by standard library. There were some positive correlations between changes of typical metabolites and moxibustion product concentrations. The metabolites in the urine were most different between the high-dose moxibustion products group and normal control group. Twenty-two differential metabolites, such as glucuronic acid and vitamin C were mainly involved in 15 sugar and amino acid metabolic pathways, such as ascorbate and aldarate metabolism. These findings indicated that energy metabolism, detoxification and anoxidation increased in rats stimulated by moxibustion products.
