Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2003;0(10):-
Objective: To know the occasion and how the military in-patients understood the contents of health education, to discuss how to conduct the health education pertinently and how to make the military in-patients master the information and skill to get well effectively in a short time. Methods: By referring to literature samples and the main contents of health education of sections in our hospital, we designed a questionnaire including the main contents of health education、the fashion and the occasion of conduction in different phase of hospitalization, together with three subjects and 44 items, and we investigated 312 military in-patients in the way of questionnaire in combination of opening and closing. Results: Military in-patients considered the correlative knowledge of getting well as the shoe pinches of the main contents of health education. The communication between doctors、nurses and pation should be strengthened; Communication through talking and offering written materials were the two primary fashions of health education; The medical personnel and military in-patients disagreed in the time arranging of health education. Conclusion: We suggest the adoption of the educational method of ”advantage health education contents increased by degrees” to conduct health education; paramedic in all levels should pay attention to the feelings of military in patients, pay attention to the rational arrangement of the health education time and contents. We emphasize the training of paramedic's communication skills of talking and writing.

Objective To observe the effect of Zusan Li acupoint injection with Chuankezhi injection ( CI) combined with chemotherapy on the quality of life in the stage III or IV senile patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) . Methods We adopted research methods for the prospective, randomized, and controlled trial. A total of 62 qualified patients completed the treatment program, and were randomly divided into two groups. Thirty-two patients in the test group received CI combined with chemotherapy and syndrome differentiation treatment, and 30 patients in the control group were given chemotherapy and syndrome differentiation treatment. We used the WHO Quality of Life Older Module Scale ( WHOQOL-OLD) , Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung ( FACT-L V4.0) and the Brief Fatigue Inventory ( BFI) to evaluate and analyze the quality of life before and after treatment. Results (1) In the WHOQOL-OLD evaluation, the total scores and the scores of dimensions of sensory abilities, autonomy, social participation, and past, present and future behavior were much improved in the test group after treatment ( P﹤0.01 compared with those before treatment) , while the control group only had statistically significant difference ( P﹤0.01) in the improvement of social participation and the total scores. The test group had higher scores difference in autonomy than the control group (P<0.01) . (2) In the FACT-L V4.0 evaluation, the total scores and the scores of domains of physiological condition, emotional status, functional status, and additional attention were much improved in the test group ( P﹤0.01 compared with those before treatment) , and the control group had an improvement in the total scores and scores of emotional status and additional attention after treatment ( P<0.01) . The test group had higher scores difference in physiological condition, functional status, and additional attention than the control group (P<0.01) . (3) In BFI evaluation, the degree of fatigue and fatigue influence were improved in both group after treatment ( P﹤0.01 compared with those before treatment) , and the improvement in the test group was superior to that in the control group ( P<0.05) . Conclusion Zusan Li acupoint injection with CI can improve the quality of life of senile NSCLC patients treated with chemotherapy in dimensions of sensory abilities, autonomy, social participation, and past, present and future behavior, and in domains of physiological conditions, functional status, additional concern, and it can also improve the degree of fatigue and fatigue influence.

Aim To study the immunomodulatory activity of total flavonoids of Litsea Coreana Leveille (LCTF) on cyclophosphamide(CY)-induced immunosuppressive mice. Methods CY (50 mg?kg-1) was administered by intraperitoneal(ip)injection for 2 consecutive days to induce immunosuppressive model. Carbon clearance, quantitative hemolysis and DNFB-induced delayed-type hypersensitivity(DTH) were applied to assay effects of LCTF on nonspecific immunity, humoral immunity and cellular immunity. Results In carbon clearance test, the clearance index (K) and values of phagocytic index (?) were elevated by LCTF (200 and 400 mg?kg-1), indicating the phagocytosis of macrophages was enhanced in immunosuppressive mice.In quantitative hemolysis, productions of IgM and IgG in serum and hemolysin in splenocytes were enhanced in immunosuppressive mice by LCTF (100 and 200 mg?kg-1). LCTF (200 and 400 mg?kg-1) obviously increased DTH reactivity in immunosuppressive mice. LCTF not only increased percentages of T cells expressing CD4+ and CD8+,but also enhanced the ratio of the two subset of T lymphocyte,and LCTF (200 and 400 mg?kg-1) could also improve IL-2 production of spleen lymphocytes. Conclusion LCTF showed significant immunomodulatory property on immunosuppressive mice through specific and nonspecific immunity.

BACKGROUND:Treatment prescription for intervertebral space infection is controversial. Conventionally,lying in bed,physical therapy,symptomatic therapy,and a large dosage of antibiotics were used frequently;however,the application of antibiotics was still controversial. OBJECTIVE:To explore the implantation of calcium sulfate powder combined with antibiotics for the treatment of suppurative spondyfitis of the thoracic vertebra. DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:A retrospective case analysis was performed at Department of Orthopaedics,Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical College from October 2000 to August 2008. PARTICIPANTS:A total of 24 patients with suppurative spondyfitis of the thoracic vertebra,including 9 males and 15 females and aging 42-71 years,were provided by Department of Orthopaedics,Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical College. Suppurative spondyfitis of thoracic vertebra occurred on T6/7(n=9) ,T7/8(n=6) ,T8/9(n=3) ,T10/11(n=4) ,and T6/8(n=2) . Among all patients,8 cases had severe pain,myospasm of dorsal muscles,passive position,difficulty of turning over,and lateral or bilateral melosalgia;11 had anorexia and athrepsy;2 had paresis of both lower extremities and difficulty of automatic micturition;3 had diabetes mellitus. METHODS:After the 24 patients with suppurative spondyfitis of the thoracic vertebra received the cleaning operation on focus infection through latero-anterior thoracic cavity,the defect area of bone was inserted with titanium case filled with the calcium sulfate cement combined with antibiotics,and then the internal fixation and a plenty of antibiotics were applied after the operation. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Recovery rate was evaluated using JOA assay,and blood sedimentation and bone healing were observed. RESULTS:All the 24 patients received the follow-up with the mean duration of 5.8 years. One case did not recovered,but other 23 patients recovered obviously. The recovery rate was 30%-100%. Blood sedimentation decreased from(86.74?10.56) mm/h before operation to(26.40?5.42) mm/h at 5 months after operation. Bone fusion occurred on all 24 patients,and the time lasted for 3-8 months. Relative death,complications,and infection-induced relapse were not found during the following up. CONCLUSION:To insert the titanium case filled with the calcium sulfate cement combined with antibiotics into the defect area of bone created by the cleaning operation on focus infection and combine with the application of the internal fixation by one stick and two screw and the brace for back and lumbar is an effective therapy for treatment of suppurative spondyfitis of the thoracic vertebra.

Present research of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) mainly contains the studies of the characteristics of biology, the induced differentiation, the mechanism of regulation and so on. The research of the characteristics of biology and the osteogenic and adopocitic induction are comparatively mature, showing many biological characteristics such as adherence, plasticity, heterology, self-renewal, rapid clone formation and transplantation. Adherence combined with density gradient centrifugation method is widely used in the isolation and purification of BMSCs. As to neural induction, there are many uncertainties, such as morphous of typical neurons, specific labeling, excitability, synaptic connection with other neurons, synaptic potential, and whether the induction of fully functional neurons from BMSCs is possible. In addition, the research of the regulation mechanism is mostly uncertain, and there are still many safety problems.

Objective:To study the effect of social support on depression-posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD) comorbidity among people living with human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome(PLWHA).Methods:Using questionnaire to one-to-one investigate the newly-diagnosed PLWHA in Wuhan Jingyintan Hospital HIV/AIDS clinic from October 2016 to February 2019. The content of the questionnaire included general demographic characteristics, HIV-related high-risk behaviors before diagnosis, social support, depression and PTSD.Patients with depression and PTSD were collected as P+ D group.Patients without depression or PTSD were collected as N group. The statistical software was SPSS 21.0. Chi-square test, t test and rank sum test were used to compare the differences between the two groups, and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the influencing factors of depression combined with PTSD. Results:Among 320 PLWHA, 72 subjects(22.50%) had depression with PTSD(P+ D group), 161 subjects(50.31%) had neither depression nor PTSD(N group). Between the two groups, the differences of constituent ratios of gender(χ 2=9.84), routes of infection(χ 2=11.16), whether ever used drug(χ 2=30.00)were statistically significant(all P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the scores of social support((30.64±10.90) vs (25.51±8.55)), objective social support((7.20±3.08) vs (5.76±2.24)), subjective social support((16.70±6.87) vs (14.04±5.61)) and utility of social support((6.74±2.59) vs (5.71±2.60)( t=3.56, 3.57, 2.88, 2.81, all P<0.05). The results of Logistic analysis revealed that gender as male( β=-1.48, OR= 0.23, 95% CI=0.09-0.61) was protective factor for depression co-occuring with PTSD, while lower level of social support ( β=1.40, OR=4.05, 95% CI=1.36-12.10) was a risk factor. Conclusion:The prevalence of depression co-occuring with PTSD in PLWHA is high. The influence of gender and social support should be paid more attention to PLWHA.

Objective: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) pretreatment on the protein expression of c-fos in fastigial nucleus (FN) and lateral hypothalamus area (LHA) in rats with acute myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI), and to explore the role and mechanism of FN and LHA in EA at the Heart Meridian fighting against acute MIRI reaction. Methods: Seventy Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a sham operation group, a model group, an EA-Heart Meridian group and an EA-Lung Meridian group, with 14 rats in each group; an LHA lesion plus EA-Heart Meridian group (LHA+EA-Heart Meridian group) and a FN lesion plus EA-Heart Meridian group (FN+EA-Heart Meridian group), with 7 rats in each group. Except the sham operation group, the left anterior descending branch of coronary artery was ligated to establish acute MIRI rat models in the other 5 groups. In the three groups with EA-Heart Meridian treatment, Shenmen (HT 7) and Tongli (HT 5) were selected; Taiyuan (LU 9) and Lieque (LU 7) were selected in the EA-Lung Meridian group. All the EA groups received EA stimulation prior to modeling, with 1 mA in current intensity and 2 Hz in frequency, 20 min each time, once a day for a total of 7 d. The sham operation group and the model group did not receive EA stimulation. The electrocardiogram was observed in the rats to analyze the ST-segment deviation and cardiac arrhythmia score. The expression of c-fos protein in FN and LHA was detected by immunohistochemistry method. Results: Compared with the sham operation group, the ST-segment deviation, cardiac arrhythmia score and the expression of c-fos protein in the FN and LHA increased significantly in the model group (all P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the ST-segment deviation, cardiac arrhythmia score and the expression of c-fos protein in FN and LHA decreased significantly in the EA-Heart Meridian group (all P<0.05). Compared with the EA-Heart Meridian group, the ST-segment deviation and cardiac arrhythmia score increased significantly in the EA-Lung Meridian group, LHA+EA-Heart Meridian group and FN+EA-Heart Meridian group (all P<0.05); the expression of c-fos in FN increased significantly in the EA-Lung Meridian group and LHA+EA-Heart Meridian group (both P<0.05); the expression of c-fos in LHA increased significantly in the EA-Lung Meridian group and FN+EA-Heart Meridian group (both P<0.05). Conclusion: FN and LHA are involved in the mechanism of EA at Heart Meridian to improve the acute MIRI reactions, and the cerebellum may participate in the improvement of cardiac function by EA through the cerebellum-hypothalamus projection.
