Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2008;15(2):275-276
Objective To evaluate the scales of psychological distress and pain in patients with advanced cancer and the impact of pain on the anxiety and depression.Methods Seventy-four patients with advanced cancer were observed.The hospital anxiety and depression(HAD)scale and the brief pain inventory(BPI)were completed either by patients or under the assistance of the investigator.Results HAD-A(anxiety)and HAD-D(depression)scores were(7.68±4.09)and(7.19±3.38),respectively.Significant correlations were found between pain severity and HAD-A or HAD-D(P<0.001)by univariate correlation analysis.Furthermore,significant associations were shown between HAD-A and six"pain interference in the patients'functional ability"items(P<0.001),and between HAD-D and pain interference to"mood"or"relations with other people"(P<0.01).Conclusions Quantitative analysis of psychological distress have shown that patients with advanced cancer are doubtful cases for both anxiety and depression and need psychological management.Anxiety and depression is not only associated with pain intensity directly,but also with pain interference in the patients'functional ability indirectly.

3.Observations on the Efficacy of Acupuncture plus Jisheng Shenqi Pills in Treating Diabetic Neurogenic Bladder
Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture and Moxibustion 2016;35(10):1210-1212
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of acupuncture plus Jisheng Shenqi pills in treating patients with diabetic neurogenic bladder. Method Patients with diabetic neurogenic bladder were allocated, using a random number table, to treatment and control groups. The treatment group received acupuncture plus Jisheng Shenqi pills and the control group, oral administration of Western medicine. Both groups of patients were treated for four weeks as a course. Post-treatment clinical total efficacy rates, pre-treatment and post-treatment postvoid residual urine volumes, and adverse reactions during treatment were compared between the two groups. Result The total efficacy rate was higher in the treatment group (93.8%) than in the control group (68.8%) (P<0.05). The postvoid residual urine volume decreased significantly in both groups of patients after treatment compared with before (P<0.05). Post-treatment postvoid residual urine volume was lower in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05). The adverse reaction rate was lower in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture plus Jisheng Shenqi pills is remarkably effective in treating patients with diabetic neurogenic bladder. It can effectively decrease postvoid residual urine volume in the patients, has higher safety and is worthy of clinical popularization.
4.The determination of parathyroid hormone in the chronic renal failure and its clinical significances
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2003;0(07):-
The secondary hyperparathyroidism is one of the complications of chronic renal failure (CRF) and end stage renal failure (ESRD), and becomes more serious with the development of the primary disease. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is considered as one of the biomarks of the development of renal failure. The purpose of this article will expound the physiological effects of the PTH, the causes and clinical significances of PTH rising in CRF and ESRD patients, the determination of PTH level, and the relationships between the increase of PTH and the polymorphism of CYP2D6, GSTT1,GSTM1.

Objective:To observe the effect of Tangshenning on renal function and LOX-1 mRNA expression in the kidney of early diabetic nephropathy rats model. Methods:Early diabetic nephropathy rats model was made with high fat diet, STZ and unilateral ne-phregtomy. After the 12-week drug intervention, the rats were sacrificed, the kidneys were removed and the mRNA expressions of LOX-1 in the kidney were observed by the method of RT-PCR. Results:Early diabetic nephropathy rats model was successfully made by the triple-modeling method. The mRNA expression of LOX-1 in the kidney was significantly increased, and Tangshenning could low-er the expression of LOX-1 in the kidney in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion:The abnormal expression of LOX-1 could be one of the mechanisms for diabetic nephropathy. Tangshening has good kidney protective effect through decreasing LOX-1 abnormal expression in the kidneys, which deserves further research.

Objective To observe the effect of Tanggankang on the expression of CREB in diabetic-fatty liver rats;To investigate the mechanism of Tanggankang. Methods STZ and feeding high fat forage induced diabetic rats were randomly divided into model group, Huganning group, Tanggankang high dose group, Tanggankang medium dose group, Tanggankang low dose group, 10 rats in each group, with 10 normal rats as control. After 12 weeks of drug intervention, rats were killed, the livers were removed, and the expression of CREB was detected by Western blot. Results Compared with normal group, the level of CREB of model group was significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with model group, Tanggankang low, medium and high dose group significantly decreased the level of CREB (P<0.01). Conclusion Tanggankang may play an active role in glucose and lipid metabolism by affecting the expression of CREB.

Objective:Examine and Compare the professional ethical attitudes and beliefs for counseling and psychotherapy between counselors/psychotherapists and clients who receive professional services in the field.Method:A questionnaire concerning ethical behaviors and attitudes was developed based on American Counseling Association Code of Ethics(2005),and administrated to 48 counselors/psychotherapists as well as 48 clients.The similarity and difference between ethical attitudes and beliefs of two groups were compared.Besides,the possible influences of certain important demographical variables were explored.Results:The two groups' responses differed in 12 out of 29 items,including 4 items derived from section of counseling relationship in ACA code of ethics(e.g.,47.9% clients thought clients could form personal relationship with counselors/psychotherapists,while only 4.2% professionals thought it was ethical,P

Objective To investigate the prognosis of sepesis patients whose timing of hemopurification therapy was classified according to kidney disease:improving global outcomes acute kidney injury (KDIGO AKI) classification.Methods The clinic data of sepsis patients,who were treated with hemopurification therapy in Xiangya Hospital intensive care unit (ICU) during January 1,2014 to June 1,2014,were retrospectively analyzed.According to KGIDO AKI classification as their timing of hemopurification therapy,103 patients were divided to 2 groups,AKI Ⅰ group (n =34),AKI Ⅱ,Ⅲ group (n =69).Acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE-Ⅱ),sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA),rate of multiple organ injury 7-,28-,90-days mortality rate of 2 groups were analyzed.For 90 days survivors,the length of ICU stay,hospital stay,the frequency and time of hemopurification were analyzed,respectively.Results APACHE-Ⅱ,SOFA of KDIGO AKI Ⅰ group was less than KDIGO AKI Ⅱ,Ⅲ group.KDIGO AKI I group was less on rate of 3 and ≥4 organ injury than KDIGO AKI Ⅱ,Ⅲ group.7-,28-,90-days mortality rate of KDIGO AKI I group were less than AKI Ⅱ,Ⅲ group.In 90 days survivors,length of ICU stay,hospital stay,frequency and time of hemopurification of KDIGO AKI Ⅰ group were less than AKI Ⅱ,Ⅲ group.Conclusions KDIGO AKI classification is an effective indicator to sepsis patients for hemopurification therapy.Compared to KDIGO AKI Ⅱ,Ⅲ,sepsis patients with KDIGO AKI Ⅰ were less severity and multiple organ injuries.To start hemopurification during AKI Ⅰ,it could decrease mortality rate,length of ICU stay,hospital stay,and frequency and time of hemopurification therapy.
