BACKGROUND: There is a complicated relation between somatic disease and mental disorder. Somatic disease may induce functional disorder of brain, and generate psychiatric symptoms due to the change of psychological and social environment. The proportion of depression in elder people based on the chronic somatic disease is much higher, and thus the fatality of them increases.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of single antidepressant, and therapeutic alliance of psychological and drug treatment on the rehabilitation of patients with elderly chronic somatic disease complicated with depression. DESIGN: Randomized and controlled grouping experiment.SETTING: Department of Senile Disease of Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Huazhong University of Science and Technology.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 102 patients were hospitalized in the Department of Senile Disease of Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Huazhong University of Science and Technology from March 2000 to January 2003, and all the patients had sleep disorder to a different extent, and suffered from symptoms of heart and alimentary tract which could not be explained as organic diseases, and chronic pain or systemic symptom. Their score of Zung scale was ＞ 40 points with average of (48.83±4.15)points. The patients were randomly divided into the drug group (n=46) and the combined treatment group (n=56). Each patient had more than two somatic symptoms in the two groups and more than 81.0% of them had three somatic symptoms. METHODS: According to the different primary diseases in patients of the two groups, regular treatment was given routinely. Oral thymoleptics fluoxetine of 20 mg/d 5-hydroxyltryptamine reuptake restrainer with 20 mg/d was administered, the dose of which could be added to 40 mg/d according to the pathogenetic conditions. At the beginning of the administration of oral antidepressant drugs, the patients in the combined treatment group were The focal point of depression and fear was identified, and the comfort and edge related to the disease was supplied, and the pathogenetic condition and the prognosis were told to the patients objectively. The family and society were encouraged to learn the rehabilitative skill and improve their possible, and the family and society were encouraged to give the patients adequate psychological support and life support. The patient and the family were assisted to establish favorable communication. The feeling of loneliness and isolation was reduced, and the sense of safety was increased. The depression status and the quality of life of the patients in the two groups were evaluated before the treatment and at 2 and 8 weeks after treatment with the Zung scale and the Spitzer quality of life index score (QLI), including 5 aspects: Activity, daily life, health, support and perspective. The highest score was 10 points. The lowest was 0, and the higher the score, the better the quality of life is.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The results of the Zung scale and the QLI score evaluated before the treatment and at 2 and 8 weeks after the treatment.RESULTS: The treatment of the patients in the two groups was all finZung scale in the drug group and the combined treatment group at 2 weeks after the treatment indicated that there was significant difference in comparison with those before the treatment (41.12±2.60,48.83±4.15,t =10.67,P ＜ 0.05); (40.88±3.43,49.03±4.21 ,t=11.24,P ＜ 0.05). There was not significant difference in group comparison. The total points of Zung scale at 8 weeks were significantly decreased (36.11 ±2.87 ), (30.71±3.62),and there was significant difference in comparison with that before the treatment. The combined treatment group was better than the drug group in difference of QLI score at 2 weeks between the drug group and combined treatment group before and after the treatment (5.47 ± 1.33,5.32 ± 1.04,5.55±1.18,5.27±1.35). The QLI score of drug group and combined treat ment group at 8 weeks after treatment began to rise 7.21±0.13 and 8.83 ±0.32 ,respectively, and there was significant difference in comparison withthose before the treatment, and there was also significant difference in group comparison.CONCLUSION: The positive and effective combined therapy of anti-depression significantly improved the somatic symptoms of patients, no complications appeared, and most patients presented optimistic attitude to the prognosis of the primary disease. To identify the depression of elder people in earlier period is very important to promote rehabilitation of the primary disease.

Objective To study the effect of exercises plus active vitamin D on the bone mass of the elderly osteoporosis patients. Methods Eighty nine cases of elderly osteoporosis were divided into 2 groups at random, with 45 cases in Group A (control group) and 44 in Group B (treatment group). Every patients in these two groups takes 600mg calcium and 0.25?g ? D 3 daily. At the same time, Group B conducts regular exercises. Results After the simple ? D 3 treatment, the lumbar BMD increased significantly and the level of osseous formation index BGP increased, but the osseous absorption index PYD/Cr did not change significantly. However, after the combined treatment with ? D 3 and exercise, the BMD at both the lumbar vertebra and the hip increased significantly, the level of osseous formation index BGP increased greatly and the osseous absorption index PYD/Cr decreased. Conclusion ? D 3 treatment is more favorable for aged osteoporosis patients in stimulating osseous formation than in inhibiting osseous absorption, and it is advantageous in increasing the bone mass of the lumbar vertebra. The ? D 3 treatment combined with aerobic exercise is helpful not only in increasing the bone mass of the lumbar vertebra and the hip in the elderly patients with osteoporosis, but also in stimulating osseous formation and inhibiting the osseous absorption.

AIM: To investigate whether calcium activated potassium channel(KCa) and mitochondrial permeability transition pore(mPTP) contribute to cardioprotective effect elicited by anoxic postconditioning.METHODS: The isolated perfused hearts of male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to 30 min global anoxic followed by 120 min reoxygenation.Formazan content of myocardium was measured at 490 nm spectrophotometrically,and the level of lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) in the coronary effluent was detected.The absorbance of isolated heart mitochondria at 520 nm was determined.RESULTS: Anoxic postconditioning increased formazan content,reduced LDH release,improved the hemodynamic parameters of the left ventricular developed pressure,maximal rise/fall rate of left ventricular pressure,left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and rate pressure product and attenuated the decrease of coronary flow during reperfusion.Pretreatment with paxilline(1 ?mol/L) inhibited the effect of anoxic postconditioning.The opening of mPTP was suppressed in the mitochondria isolated from A/R hearts treated with anoxic postconditioning.CONCLUSION: The findings indicate that in the isolated rat heart,anoxic postconditioning protects myocardium against anoxic/reoxygenation injury via inhibiting KCa and the mPTP opening.

Objective To investigate the effects of hyperbaric oxygenation(HBO)therapy on serum con- centrations of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1(slCAM-1),soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1(sV- CAM-1),soluble E-selectin(sE-selectin)and matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9)in patients with aeute cerebral infarction and their clinical implications.Methods One hundred and twelve cases of cerehral infarction in the ca- rotid artery system were assigned into two groups.Patients in the routine treatment group(RT group,n=62)were treated with routine clinical treatment regime,whereas those in the HBO group(n=50)were treated with H BO ther- apy in additioo to routine clinical treatment.Thirty age- and sex-matched normal subjects were recruited and served as controls.The serum concentrations of sICAM-1,sVCAM-1,sE-selectin and MMP-9 were measured hy using ELISA method before and 10 days after treatment.The assessment of neurological deficits using National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)score was conducted before treatment,and at 10 and 30 days after treatment,and the therapeutic efficacy was evaluated.Results The concentrations of sICAM-1,sVCAM-1,sE-selectin and MMP-9 of the patients were significantly higher than those of the control subjects.These parameters were all decreased signifi- cantly after treatment in the two patient groups.Moreover,these parameters were lower in the HBO group than those in the RT group after treatment.The NIHSS scores of HBO group were significantly lower than that of the RT group at the 30th clay post-treatment.The effective rate of HBO group was higher than that of RT group.Conclusion HBO therapy can decrease the serum levels of sICAM-1,sVCAM-1,sE-seleetin and MMP-9,which might be one of the mechanisms of HBO in the treatment of cerebral infarction.
