1.Relationship among Depression, Anxiety and Possible Factors in Post-stroke Patients: 510 Cases Report
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2006;12(6):498-500
ObjectiveTo analyze the relationship among depression and anxiety and other possible factors in post-stroke patients.Methods510 hospitalized stroke patients from 1997 to 2004 were evaluated with the Scale of Elderly Cognitive Function (SECF), Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) in 7 days after admission and re-examined after two months.ResultsThe depression group exhibited the longer course of disease, a high ratio of hemiplegia in left side, lower ADL scores and higher SAS scores at time of admission. There were significant differences between depression and non-depression group. However, there was no significant difference between the depression and cognitive function. There were also significant differences between anxiety group and non-anxiety group. Patients with anxiety displayed symptoms of low ADL scores and higher SDS scores at time of admission, and ADL scores increased after treatment. Additionally, the course of disease was longer and reduction of anxiety level was lower. The levels of depression and anxiety significantly reduced in depression group and anxiety group when compared to the control group.ConclusionEarly rehabilitation can help to reduce depression level. Modest anxiety may help stroke patients to improve their ADL. There is close relationship between depression and anxiety.
2.Primary study of the effect of psychological treatment on patients with post-stroke depression
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2002;8(9):542-544
ObjectiveTo compare the effect of psychological treatment only and psychological combined with fluoxetine treatment in reducing symptom of depression, anxiety and in improving of cognitive and daily living abilities for post-stroke depression patients.MethodsAll patients with post-stroke enrolled in hospital between 1996 and 2001 and were evaluated by using of the Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), the Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Scale of Elderly Cognitive Function (SECF), and Ability of Daily Living (ADL). SDS score was equal or greater than 50 points (SDS≥50) selected as subjects for this study. A total of 115 patients were randomized divided into psychological with fluoxetine treatment group (Group A,54 patients) and psychological treatment group (Group B,61 patients). There is no significant difference between two groups in age, education, and left or right side of hemiplegics. Statistical analysis was performed by using Chi test and t test to compare the 2 groups at day 0 (baseline) and after 2 months.ResultsThe level of depression and anxiety reduced significantly in both Group A and Group B from baseline to end of treatment (P<0.001). Both groups had significant improvement in daily living ability (P<0.001).There was no significant improvement in cognitive ability (P>0.5). There was no significant differences on SDS, SAS, SECF, and ADL scores from baseline to end of treatment (P>0.5).Conclusions There were similar effect of psychological with fluoxetine treatment and of psychological treatment only on post-stroke depression.
3.Recent development of robotic coronary artery bypass graft
Journal of Central South University(Medical Sciences) 2013;38(10):1080-1086
As an evolutionary process, the robotic technology has been recently applied in the minimally invasive surgery. The robotic surgical system can provide cardiac surgeons with less invasive manner and dexterity manipulation in coronary artery bypass graft. The robotic minimally invasive coronary artery bypass graft usually includes robotic internal thoracic artery harvesting, robotic assistant coronary artery bypass graft and totally robotic coronary artery bypass graft.
5.Establishment and assessment of a model of abdominal postoperative fatigue syndrome in rats
Chinese Journal of General Surgery 1993;0(01):-
Objective To establish and assess a model of abdominal postoperative fatigue syndrome (POFS) in rats. Methods After 70% hepatectomy was performed, the following observations of the animals were made:general condition, rat tail suspension test,weight carrying swim fatigue test,serum levels of albumin,ferrition,and iron,pathologic assessment of injury of small intestinal mucosa and hepatic albumin gene expression .Results After 70% hepatectomy of the rats,their general candition was poor,the level of physical tolerance decreased,they showed a certain amount of depression,and marked changes were found in nutritional index,stress injury of small intestinal mucosa and hepatic albumin gene expression.Conclusions A 70% hepatectomy rat model has the basic characteristics of clinical abdominal POFS, and can be used as an experimental animal model for the study of abdominal POFS.

9.Understanding of the Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute Pancreatitis (2014 edition): Hot issues of surgical treatment of acute pancreatitis
Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2015;14(1):13-16
Presently,tremendous progress has been achieved in the research of acute pancreatitis (AP),which lead to significant changes in many important aspects of the diagnosis and treatment for AP.In 2014,the Pancreatic Surgery Group of Surgery Branch of Chinese Medical Association revised the Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Severe Acute Pancreatitis which was published in 2007.In the revised guidelines,the severity of AP is classified as mild acute pancreatitis (MAP),moderately severe acutepancreatitis (MSAP) and severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).The definition of SAP or MSAP depends on the duration of organ failure,which is persistent (>48 hours) in SAP but is transient (≤48 hours) in MSAP.Modified CT severity index (MCTSI) is used as the imaging evaluation.Acute peripancreatic fluid collection (APFC),acute necrotic collection (ANC),walled-off necrosis (WON) and pancreatic pseudocyst are the local complications.The disease course is divided into 3 stages,including early stage (acute phase),middle stage (evolution phase) and late stage (infection phase).Infected necrosis is an indication for the surgical treatment,but the surgery should not be performed in sterile necrosis.Meanwhile,surgical treatment should follow the delayed principle.Surgical methods that include percutaneous drainage (PCD),minimally invasive surgery and open surgery could be selected separately orjointly.
10.Study on the combined payment standards for DRGs of circulatory system diseases
Chinese Journal of Hospital Administration 2009;25(11):760-763
Objective Probing into the rationale of DRGs payment standards for references to making DRGs payment standards.Methods Based on the DRGs grouping results of circulatory diseases cases admitted by a tertiary hospital from 2003 to 2005,two typical combinations were selected to determine the payment standard for each DRGs combination.Unnecessary medical expenses were excluded.Results According to the percentage of unnecessary medical expenses,Angina,non-special nursing,and class 1 nursing were in a group,with unnecessary medical expenses per ease of 758.00 yuan;CAG,single stent implantation,acute myocardial infaction as the main diagnose were in a group,with medical expenses per case of 2814.03 yuan;such expenses account for 6.20% of the total hospitalization expenses of both groups.Conclusions If the average expenses with unnecessary medical expenses excluded are set as the combined payment standard,hospitals will be restrained from unnecessary medical behaviors and expenses so incurred.
