ObjectiveTo discuss the relationship between serum homocysteine (Hcy) level and severity of acute coronary syndrome(ACS) through measuring the level of serum Hey in the patients with ACS.Methods95 patients who were diagnosed ACS were divided into two groups:40 cases of unstable angina(UA) and 55 cases of a cute myocardial infarction(AMI).30 individuals were chosen as normal control(NC).In addition,according to the results of coronary angiography,the same 95 patients were further divided into three subgroups which were single-vessel disease( 28cases),double-vessel disease ( 36cases ) and multi-vessel disease ( 31 cases ).Level of serum Hcy was measured in all groups.ResultsSerum Hcy level of ACS patients was significantly higher than NC group( P ＜ 0.01 ).The level of serum Hcy in AMI group was significantly higher than that in UA group( P ＜ 0.05 ).The Hcy level in the multi-vessel disease group,double-vessel disease group and single-vessel disease group were increased in turn,and the difference of pairwise comparison was statistically significant ( P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionThe serum Hcy level has rela tionship with the severity of coronary lesions and is directly proportional to the number of coronary artery lesions.The result suggests that the level of serum Hcy maybe play an important role in the prevention,diagnosis,treatment and monitoring of ACS.

Objective To investigate the effect of intensive nursing intervention on the secondary infection in chemotherapy of elderly patients with lung cancer.Methods 168 cases of elderly lung cancer patients whose neutrophil ≤ 1.0×109/L during chemotherapy were randomly divided into two groups,namely,the intensive care group and the control group,with 84 cases in each group.The control group was given routine nursing of infection prevention,while the intensive care group was given intensified nursing for infection prevention.A contrastive analysis was conducted in terms of the incidence,clinical characteristics and the duration of antibiotic treatment of the two groups of patients with secondary infection.Results The secondary infection rate of the intensive care group was lower than that of the control group during chemotherapy.What's more,the duration of fever and treatment of the intensive care group was shorter than that of the control group,hence the patients were safe during infection period.The difference was statistically significant.Conclusions Strengthening the nursing intervention can reduce the incidence rate of secondary infection in aged patients with lung cancer,increase the tolerance of patients to chemotherapy and ensure the successful completion of the chemotherapy cycle,prolong the life span of the patients with an improved quality of life.

BACKGROUND: Junior medic is a special population, which has high speciality and great pressure in study. To investigate the characteristics of personality and mental health of this population can explore the reasons of mental problems in junior medics, which can provide theoretic gist for the establishment of the intervention to improve the mental health of this population.OBJECTIVE: To provide approaches and methods for customized development of mental health education through the comprehension of the status of personality and mental health characteristics of junior medics.DESIGN: A stratified randomized cluster sampling survey.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 550 students of grade 1 and grade 2 in Harbin Medical University were selected by stratified randomized cluster sampling in the September 2004.METHODS: Self-rating depressive scale (SCL-90) and Eysenck personality questionnaire (EPQ) were independently answered by 550 students and taken back on the spot.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Key consequences: EPQ scores for extroversion(E), neuroticism(N), pschoticism(P), reliability(L) and the SCL-90 scores for somatization, compulsion, sensitive human relationship,depression, anxiety, hostility, phobia, crankiness and psychosis. Minor consequence: the statistical typical correlative analysis between total score and score of 9 items in SCL-90 and the scores of 4 scales in EPQ.RESULTS: Junior medics had significantly higher scores in compulsion (1.83 ±0.52), anxiety(1.47 ±0.43), psychosis(1.43 ±0.43), and crankiness(1.54 ± 0.55) than Chinese norm( t = 6. 57 -9.09, P ＜ 0. 05).The characteristics of personality were introversion, optimism, humility, and active. The shortcomings were anxiety, depression and emotional There was positive correlation between personality problem and the severity of mental problem in junior medics.CONCLUSION: The proportion of students with personality problems or mental health problems is relative high in junior medics. Effective interventions should be employed.

Objective Investigate the clinical significance of bone marrow minimal residual disease (MRD) detection to prognosis and therapeutic evaluation in acute leukemia (AL) after complete remission (CR). Methods Forty-three cases of bone marrow specimens in patients with acute leukemia were collected from 209-2012. The MRD was detected using multiparameter flow cytometry (FCM). The detection was performed from the beginning of induction chemotherapy by CR,and detected at 1,3,6 and 12 months. According to the CR detection for the first time, the induced MRD levels were obtained after treatment, then 43 patients with AL were divided into negative (MRD<10-4) and positive (MRD>10-4) two groups. Results The recurrence rate after three years of the two groups was 0 and 80%, respectively. There was a significant difference in the recurrence rate ( <0.05) . The recurrence rate of positive group was significant higher than that of negative group ( <0.05) when the morphologic of MRD was complete remission. Conclusion Using FCM to detect AL MRD, MRD>10-4 AL-CR have the high recurrence rate, and the recurrence of positive group have appeared early than traditional MRD bone marrow morphology. The continuous MRD detection of AL-CR has important clinical significance in the prognosis and early prediction for recurrence.

OBJECTIVE　To prepare the piroxicam films and study its characteristics of transdermal delivery.METHODS　Different high polymers were employed to prepare piroxicam films.Rat abdomen skin and modified Franz diffusion cells were used in the drug penetration tests and release tests.The percutaneous penetration rate was investigated.RESULTS　The release rate of piroxicam films was 64.31 μg*cm-2*h-1.The in vitro permeation rate was 14.86 μg*cm-2*h-1.The percutaneous penetration rate was 11.94 μg*cm-2*h-1.CONCLUSION　Piroxicam films was developed.

The concept of autoinflammatory diseases and autoimmune diseases is different but similar.With the genetic background and inflammation pathways of many autoimmune diseases elucidated,some kinds of diseases are facing a new partition.The explaination of immunological disease continuum update the concept of some diseases and benefit from the treatment.

ObjectiveTo discuss the effect of patient controlled epidural analgesia on recovery and serum prolactin of parturient after undergoing cesarean section.MethodsEighty-six cases with cesarean section patients were classified into two groups by random digits table,which observation group with 43 cases were used patient controlled epidural analgesia,and control group with 43 cases were used intramuscular pethidine.The analgesic effect and serum prolactin between the two groups were compared.ResultsThe good rate in observation group was 79.1％(34/43 ),significantly higher than that in control group [20.9％( 9/43 ) ](P ＜ 0.05 ).Compared with pre-operation,the level of prolactin in observation group was significantly increased [ ( 542.17 ± 46.75 ) μ g/L vs.( 351.13 ± 20.92 ) μ g/L] ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Moreover,the level of prolactin in observation group after operation was significantly higher than that in control group[ (362.12 ± 24.33)μ g/L ] ( P ＜ 0.05 ).The colostrum time in observation group was ( 15.21 ± 3.26 ) h which was shorter than that in control group [ (21.16 ± 4.78) h ] (P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionThe analgesic effect of patient controlled epidural analgesia on parturient after undergoing cesarean section is good,which can help patients recovery and improve the level of serum prolactin,which can be applied in clinic.
