Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2005;9(28):236-237
BACKGROUND: According to Eysenck's theory of personality, trait level belongs tolow-grade personality, which can better reflect characteristics of individual habitual behavior reaction.OBJECTIVE: To explore the correspondent relationship between generalized anxiety patient and internal personality trait through adopting Cattell's 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PFQ) and Zung's Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) to test generalized anxiety patients.DESIGN: A transectional sampling survey and data was compared with that of health adult norms.SETTING: Counseling clinic of out-patient in the Southwest Hospital of the Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 100 patients with generalized anxiety disorders who visited the clinical counseling clinic of out-patient in the Southwest Hospital, Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA for the first time from August 2003 to March 2004 were included, including 40 men and 60 women.METHODS: Catell's 16PFQ was tested with Psychometric Toolbox Standard Edition V2.3 developed by the Insight Group of Peking University.The patients filled out the forms independently after the method being explained clearly by professional staff members. These 16 personality factors included warmth (reserved vs. warm; Factor A), reasoning (concrete vs.abstract; Factor B), emotional stability (reactive vs. emotionally stable;Factor C), dominance (deferential vs. dominant; Factor E), liveliness (serious vs. lively; Factor F), rule-consciousness (expedient vs. rule-conscious;Factor G), social boldness (shy vs. socially bold; Factor H), sensitivity (utilitarian vs. sensitive; Factor I), vigilance (trusting vs. vigilant; Factor L),abstractedness (grounded vs. abstracted; Factor M), privateness (forthright vs. private; Factor N), apprehension (self-assured vs. apprehensive; Factor O), openness to change (traditional vs. open to change; Factor Q1), self-reliance (group-oriented vs. self-reliant; Factor Q2), perfectionism (tolerates disorder vs. perfectionistic; Factor Q3), tension (relaxed vs. tense; Factor Q4). Standard score of each observed index was measured automatically by computer measuring system. The standard score in Zung's SAS was (65.31±7.90).MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Comparison of standard scores in Cattell's 16PF between anxiety group and health adult norms.tell's 16PFQ for patients with generalized anxiety disorders: Scores in A,I, L, M, O, Q4 factor of anxiety patients were higher than that of health adult norms (6.19±1.69, 5.49±1.75;6.63±1.46, 5.53±1.84;5.84±1.52,5.47 ± 1.78; 6.22 ± 1.54,5.42 ± 1.61; 8.32 ±1.54,5.48 ±1.81; 8.10 ±1.27,5.60±1.99,(t=-2.03 to -13.15, P< 0.05-0.01)) while scores in B, C, E, F, G H,Q1, Q2, Q3 were significantly lower (5.22±1.46, 5.93±1.97;3.48±1.68,5.51±1.75;4.86±1.60, 5.53±1.83;5.01±2.22, 5.50±1.89;4.42±1.60,5.54 ±1.66 ;4.58±1.66, 5.56±1.84 ;4.64±1.29, 5.50±1.72 ;4.73±1.80, 5.50±1.72;and F had a significantly negative correlation with scores in Zung's SAS (r=-0.273,P < 0.01 ;r=-0.217,P < 0.05;r=-0.217,P < 0.05) while factor Q4 had a significantly positive correlation(r=0.248 ,P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: The development of anxiety with high scores in C, E, F and Q4 correlates with self-personality trait. These 4 personality traits may be susceptible factors in the development of anxiety disorder and may also affect its severity.

Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2005;9(8):254-256
BACKGROUND: Major depression is a subtype of depression. Application of thymoleptics alone has bad effect. It has shown from relevant studies abroad that application of fluoxetine combined with atypical antipsychotic drugs maybe an effective treating strategy.OBJECTIVE: To observe the curative effects of fluoxetine combined with olanzapine and the time of its taking effect.DESIGN: Comparative study of open clinical test with completely random sampling for the first visit outpatients SETTING: A psychological consulting clinic in a hospital of a Military Medical College of Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 140 patients visiting psychological counseling outpatient clinic in the hospital were collected from January 2004 to August 2004. Inclusion criteria: According to the diagnostic criterion of depression of CCMD-3, patients with total scores of 17 items in Hamilton depression rating scale≥28and age ≥18 years old .EXclusion criteria;①slight to middle edgree of depression(Hamt≤27);②secondary depression;③convalesscent period of schizophrenia and other affective disorder caused by psychosis;④severe of unstable body diseases ,including diseases of liver,kidney,cardiae vessel,respiration,gastro-intestine,endocrine,nervous system,innune system or hematological system,cet.⑤drug or alcohol addict;⑥women in pregnancy and lactation. Totally 110 patients accorded with the inclusive criteria. Among them, there were 40 males and 70 females with the course of disease for 4 months to 5 years, aged 18 to 63 with the average (37 ± 12) years old. They all took part in the trial voluntarily. According to the date of admittance, they were divided into odd-numbered date alprazolam group in which there were 55 patients with 21 males and 34 females and double date olanzapine group in which there were 55 patients with 19 males and 36 females.METHODS: The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the date of admittance. Odd-numbered date group was alprazolam group. 0.4 mg alprazolam was given every noon and before sleep and 20 mg fluoxetine was given at a draught after breakfast every day. Even-numbered date group was olanzapine group. 2.5 mg olanzapine was given before sleep every day and 20mg fluoxetine was given at a draught after breakfast every day. The course of treatment was 6 weeks. HAMD and HAMA scores of taken were evaluated respectively before and at the end of 1st, 2nd, 4th and 6th week. Reducing score rate was used to decide effective time. Lost rate was presented as percentage. And improvement of sleep factor and somatization factor in HAMD were observed before therapy and at every observing time period after therapy.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Terminus index: Comparison of HAMD,HAMA score in the two groups before therapy and at the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 6th weekend after therapy. Scores of sleep factor and anxiety somatization factor of HAMD at every observing time period in the two groups. Substitution index: lost rate in the two groups. Reducing score rate at every observing time period in the two groups.RESULTS: Lost rate in olanzapine group was significantly lower than that in alprazolam group ( P < 0.05) and the effect was taken at 1 week after therapy(excellence rate 67% ) . But, scores of HAMD and HAMA at every observing time period in olanzapine group were significant lower than those in alprazolam group( P < 0.01) and sleep factor and somatization factor at every observing time period improved more significantly than those of alprazolam group( P < 0. 01).CONCLUSION: Small amount of olanzapine combined with fluoxetine used to treat major depression of the patients can improve sleep and anxiety body symptoms rapidly and then elevate their living quality significantly.

Journal of Third Military Medical University 2003;0(10):-
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and effective time of low dosage of olanzapine combined with fluoxetine in treatment of major depression. Methods A total of 53 patients who suffered from major depression diagnosed according to CCMD-3 and the score of Hamilton rating scale for depression (HAMD) over 28, were randomly divided into 2 groups: alprazolam group (0.4 mg alprazolam, 2/d and 20 mg fluoxetine, 1/d), olanzapine group (2.5 mg olanzapine, 1/d, and 20 mg fluoxetine, 1/d). The treatment period lasted six weeks and the subjects were evaluated by using HAMD and HAMA at week 1, 2, 4, 6. The effective time was estimated by decreasing rate of the scale of HAMD and the amelioration of sleep disturbance and anxiety/somatization in HAMD were observed before and during the treatment. Results The therapeutic effects in olanzapine group at week 1 were observed with the apparent rate of 67%. The scores of HAMD and HAMA in olanzapine group were obviously lower than those in alprazolam group at each time point. The sleep disturbance and anxiety/somatization of the patients in olanzapine group improved significantly as compared with those in alprazolam group. Conclusion Fluoxetine combined with olanzapine is a fast and effective method to treat major depression.

Tumor 2007;27(9):737-740
Objective: To observe the clinical value of three dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) followed by radical surgery and discuss the best radiation technique for cervical cancer patients after radical hysterectomy. Methods: From February of 2003 to June of 2006, 155 stage I-IIIa cervical cancer patients received postoperative radiotherapy in our department after radical surgery. They were randomly divided into two groups. There were 81 patients in 3D-CRT group and 74 patients in traditional radiation group. According to FIGO staging, there were 45 cases in stage I, 77 in stage II a, 31 in stage II b, and 2 in stage III a. Pathological examination confirmed that 148 cases had squamous carcinoma and 7 cases had adenocarcinoma. The target volume included supravaginal portion, the cervical stump, paracervical tissue, common iliac, internal and external iliac, obturator, and sacral lymph nodes, and the pelvic lymphatic drainage area. For 3D-CRT group we designed four-field or two-field rotating irradiation in the left-right and the anterior-posterior direction. For traditional radiation group we designed two-field irradiation, anterior-posterior, at opposed lateral directions. The radiation dose ranged from 48-50 Gy. Stage II b patients with a cervical stump recurrence received postoperative boost irradiation by 8-10 Gy. Results: There were no significant difference in 0.5-year, 1-year, 1.5-year, and 2-year local control rate between 3D-CRT group and traditional radiation group (P > 0.05). The occurrence of early and late complications was significantly lower in 3D-CRT group than that in traditional radiation group (P < 0.05). There was significant difference in gastrointestinal reaction and urinary system reaction between the two groups (P <0.05). In postoperative radiotherapy, 3D-CRT was superior compared with traditional two-field radiation at opposed lateral directions. Conclusion: 3D-CRT is superior compared with traditional two-dimensional radiation. Four-field rotating radiation in 3D-CRT induces focused and even dose distribution and causes less side effects and complications. The side-field and cervical stump-targeted boost irradiation are apparent advantages of 3D-CRT.

In order to construct a single chain fragment variable (ScFv) phage display library against ovarian tumor, by using RT-PCR, the human heavy chain variable region genes (VH) and light chain variable region genes (VL) were amplified from lymphocytes of ovarian tumor patients and subsequently assembled into ScFv genes by SOE. The resulting ScFv genes were electrotransformed into E. coli TG1 and amplified with the co-infection of helper phage M13KO7 to obtain phage display library. The capacity and titer of the resulting library were detected. The phage antibody library with a capacity of approximately 3 x 10(9) cfu/microg was obtained. After amplification with helper phage, the titer of antibody library reached 5 x 10(12) cfu/mL. Human ScFv library against ovarian tumor was constructed successfully, which laid a foundation for the screening of ovarian tumor specific ScFv for the radioimmunoimaging diagnosis of ovarian tumor.
