Objective To summarize the perioperative experience of nursing the middle-aged and elderly patients of lumbar spinal stenosis and degenerative lumbar scoliosis treated with posterior or transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion. Methods Posterior or transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion was performed in 69 middle-aged and elderly patients with lumbar spinal stenosis and degenerative lumbar scoliosis. Nursing measures included evaluation and treatment of complications, preoperative guidance for surgical body position, and postoperative close monitoring, treatment of complications and functional exercises. Results The operation on all the 69 patients was smooth, with surgical time ranged from 3 to 7 hours and bleeding volume between 300~750 mL. Postoperatively, 9 patients suffered from CSF leaks, 3 ones had a screw loose by imageology, 2 did from pneumonia, 2 did from DVT, and 3 did from depression. After clinical management and nursing, all the patients were cured and discharged. Conclusions Meticulous clinical treatment and nursing of preoperative complications and instructions on body position are the foundation for successful surgeries. Postoperatively, close monitoring, management of the complications and the instruction on functional exercises are guarantees for the successful surgeries.

Objective To investigate the effects of attentional bias training on mood and disease uncertainty in anxious patients with coronary artery intervention treatment during transition period. Methods A total of 82 anxious patients with coronary artery intervention treatment during transition period were assigned into control group (28 cases), escape-negative-training group(27 cases) and positive-direction-training group (27 cases) by random digits table method. Patients in control group only received routine psychological counseling, while patients in escape-negative-training group and positive-direction-training group also received spot-type attentional bias training(200 trails/time,10-15 minutes/time,2 times/week, all 4 weeks in the two groups;the negative and neutral words between the probe points were 20%and 80%in escape-negative-training group,and positive and neutral words between the probe points were 100%and 0 in positive-direction-training group). All the patients were evaluated by Stroop test, Self-evaluation of Anxiety Scale (SAS), Attention to Positive and Negative Information Scale (APNIS), Profile Of Mood States (POMS) and Illness Uncertainty Scale (IUS). Results After intervention, 21.4%(6/28) was alleviated in the control group, while respective 70.4%(19/27) and 44.4%(12/27) in escape-negative-training group and positive-direction-training group (χ2=8.15, P=0.003). There were no significant differences in SAS, POMS, Stroop test, APNIS and IUS among three groups (P>0.05). After intervention, the SAS, negative emotion scores in POMS (tension-anxiety, depression-dejection, fatigue-inertia, baffling-confusion) and IUS were lower in escape-negative-training group than those in control group(Q=3.79-7.58, all P<0.01);and the SAS and IUS were lower in positive-direction-training group than those in control group, while positive emotion scores in POMS (vigor-activity) higher than those in control group (Q respective was 3.11, 4.34, 6.12, all P<0.05). The SAS, POMS (tension-anxiety, depression-dejection, fatigue-inertia, baffling-confusion, vigor-activity) were more improved in escape-negative-training group than those in positive-direction-training group (Q = 3.09-4.04, all P<0.05), while no difference in IUS (P>0.05). Conclusions Attentional bias training could improve the anxiety symptoms and reduce illness uncertainty in anxious patients with coronary artery intervention treatment during transition period. Escape-negative-training is more effective in reducing patients′ negative mood and alleviating anxiety symptoms than the positive-direction-training.

This study was aimed to assist the clinic diagnosis and analysis with the application of modern ausculta-tion diagnosis technology. Meanwhile, this study provided certain objective evidences for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) auscultation diagnosis in syndrome differentiation according to Zang-Fu. The Voice Sampling System of TCM was used in the collection of voice signals of patients with liver-depression and spleen-deficiency, deficiency of both heart and spleen, disharmony between heart and kidney (231 cases). Meanwhile, voice signals of healthy peo-ple (100 cases) were used as the control group. Based on wavelet packet decomposition and reconstruction technique, four kinds of featured parameters, including energy proportion, generalized energy proportion, energy gradient and generalized energy gradient, were extracted. The results showed that there were significant differences in multiple fre-quencies on energy proportion, generalized energy proportion, energy gradient and generalized energy gradient be-tween the liver-depression and spleen-deficiency, deficiency of both heart and spleen, disharmony between heart and kidney, and healthy people (P< 0.05). There were significant differences in multiple frequencies of four features a-mong samples from each type (P < 0.05). The generalized energy proportion of the deficiency of both heart and spleen type was higher than patients from other types and healthy people. The generalized energy gradient of healthy people was lower than the other three types. Differences were mainly posterior to the middle frequency segment. The recognition rate of three types and healthy people was ideal after feature screening. It was concluded that modern auscultation diagnosis technology can be used in the analysis of TCM phonetic feature parameters among common TCM syndrome types. The research results provided references for the objective study of TCM auscultation diagnosis. It provided theoretical evidences for the objective detection of TCM auscultation diagnosis and intelligent computer.

Objective To prepare and characterize monoclonal antibody against a malaria vaccine candidate, PfCP-2.9 chimeric protein of Plasmodium falciparum. Methods BALB/c mice were immunized with PfCP-2.9,and the spleen cells were used for fusion with SP2/0 cells. The monoclonal antibodies were analyzed by ELISA,Western blotting as well as growth inhibition assay. Result A monoclonal antibody was obtained. It interacted with the PfCP-2.9 recombinant protein by ELISA and Western blotting. The interaction of the monoclonal antibody with the protein was reduction-sensitive,indicating that the antibody recognized a conformational epitope. Moreover,the antibody also recognized the cultured parasites of P.falciparum by indirect immunofluorescent antibody test(IFA). When tested by growth inhibition assay,the antibody significantly inhibited parasite growth in vitro of 56% inhibition rate at the antibody concentration of 0.3 mg/ml. Conclusion A monoclonal antibody against PfCP-2.9 malaria vaccine candidate has been obtained,which recognizes a conformational epitope of the protein and natural protein.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of tiotropium bromide in the treatment of COPD patients and pro-vide evidence-based reference for the clinical treatment. METHODS:PubMed,EMBase,Medline,Cochrane Library,CJFD,Wan-Fang and VIP database were retrieved to collect the randomized controlled trial(RCT)of tiotropium bromide(test group)vs. place-bo(control group)in the treatment of COPD. The data was extracted and the quality was evaluated by Rev Man 5.0 software. RE-SULTS:A total of 19 studies were included,involving 16 318 patients. Meta-analysis shows that the FEV1[MD=0.13,95%CI (0.12,0.14),P<0.001],FVC[MD=0.20,95%CI(0.20,0.25),P<0.001] in test group were higher than control group,SGRQ score [MD=-2.94,95%CI(-3.38,-2.49),P<0.001] and COPD exacerbation rate[RR=0.83,95%CI(0.77,0.90),P<0.001] in test group were lower than those in control group ,but the dry mouth rate was higher than that of control group[RR=2.07,95%CI(1.34, 3.20),P<0.001],there were significant differences in 2 groups . CONCLUSIONS:Tiotropium bromide has good efficacy in the treatment of COPD. However,it may cause dry mouth. Due to the methodological limitations of included studies,it remians to be further verified by large-sample and high-quality RCT.
