Objective: To understand the cognition status for risk factors and early symptoms of stroke via face to face questionnaire survey in 336 in-hospital patients with atrial ifbrillation (AF).
Methods: A face to face questionnaire survey was conducted by uniformly trained investigators in 336 AF patients who were admitted in our hospital more than 3 days from 2014-04-01 to 2014-10-01.
Results: There were 300/336 AF patients ifnished the questionnaire and among them 131 (43.7%) patients know that AF may increase the risk of stroke and 169 (56.3%) patients unknown or uncertain. There were 41.3%-79.3% patients having cognition for early symptoms of stroke and only 25.3% (76/300) patients may identify all 5 early signs of stroke.
Conclusion: In our research, AF patients had poor cognition for the risk and early signs of stroke. Medical professional should intensify the propaganda and education for stroke prevention.

Background and purpose:Tumor necrosis factor related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a death receptor ligand that can induce apoptosis in a variety of cancer cell lines, but not all cancer cells . Past studies suggested that some chemotherapeutic drugs intensified the sensitivity of TRAIL induced apoptosis.We investigated the effect and potential mechanism of combined paclitaxel and TRAIL on apoptosis of human gastric cancer cell in vitro. Methods:SGC7901 cells were cultured with paclitaxel at different concentrations(1,5,10,20,40 ?g/ml) and different time(12,24,36,48 hr), methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay was used to measure the anticancer activity of paclitaxel.The ability of TRAIL alone,paclitaxel alone and TRAIL in combination with paclitaxel to induce apoptosis was measured by a flow cytometer. Expression of DR4,DR5, DcR1,DcR2,Caspase-8 and Bcl-2 mRNA was examined by RT-PCR.Results:The apoptosis rates of control group(C group),paclitaxel group(P group),TRAIL group (T group)and combination group(T+P)in 24 hr were 2.09%,10.65%,7.79% and 24.51%, respectively. The apoptosis rate in T+P group was significantly higher than that in C group, T group and P group(P

Objective:To develop an Online Game Cognitive Distortions Scale(OGCDS) and examine its applicability in Chinese adolescents.Methods:A pretest was given to 117 middle school students to determine a 17-item version of OGCDS.A sample of 495 middle school students were required to complete OGCDS,Internet Game Cognition Addiction Scale and Young's Internet Addiction Disorder scale.Reliability and validity of OGCDS were analyzed.Results:①The retest reliability,split-half and Cronbach's ? reliability coefficients of the total scale were 0.753,0.827 and 0.904,respectively.②Scores of the total scale and each subscale were both significantly correlated with scores of IGCAS and IAD scale at 0.01 levels (r=0.540～0.728;r=0.283～0.413).③Four factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis,explaining 72.626% of the total variance;the load of each item varied from 0.490～0.886.④Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed that standard measurement model fit data well:?2=141.586,NFI=0.909,IFI=0.952,CFI=0.952,RMSEA=0.063.Conclusion:Reliability and validity of OGCDS is corresponded with psychometric standard.

OBJECTIVE:To determinate the metabolites of ranolazine in rats by LC-MSn.METHODS:Rats were given 80 mg?kg-1 ranolazine by i.g.During 0～24 h after intragastrical administration,the sample of urine was collected and extracted by solid phase column.Extracts were determined by LC-MSn.The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile,10 mmol?L-1ammonium acetate and glacial acetic acid at a flow rate of 0.5 mL?min-1.Fragmentation ions of ranolazine and its metabolites were determined in positive electrospray ionization by using MS,MS2 and MS3 full scans.RESULTS:Twelve phaseⅠ metabolites (O-demethylation,O-dearylation,hydroxylation,N-dealkylation and amide hydrolysis) and nine phase Ⅱ metabolites(O-glucuronidation and sulfation) were found in the sample.CONCLUSION:Ranolazine is extensively metabolized in rats.

Objective To study the clinical feature of 26 cases which were diagnosed pathologically as cerebral amyloid angiopathy ( CAA ) and to improve the level of diagnosis.Methods The clinical characteristics of the 26 cases with CAA in our hospital from 1983 to 1999 were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed,including previous history,clinical manifestation,and laboratory examination.Results Of the 26 CAA patients,there were 17 men and 9 women with age ranging from 45 to 78 years.Eight patients (30.7％ ) had the history of hypertension; 6 cases (23.1％ ) suffered from diabetes; 2 patients(7.6％ ) were taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet agents in whom serious CAA and multiple hemorrhages were histopathologically confirmed by autopsy.There were 20 cases diagnosed as cerebral hemorrhage,including 2 patients with single lobe hemorrhage,8 patients with multiple lobe hemorrhage,5 patients with putamen hemorrhage,2 patients with cerebral ganglion hemorrhage,2 patients with cerebellar hemorrhage,and 1 patient with brain stem hemorrhage.Of the 26 CAA patients,there were 2 patients with subaracchnoid hemorrhage,1 patient with hemorrhagic cerebral infarction,1 patient with basal ganglia infarction,1 patient with basilar artery occlusion,1 patient with subdural hematoma.The clinical manifestation of the 20 cases diagnosed as cerebral hemorrhage included headache,limb palsy,coma,and hyperspasmia.Conclusions CAA always begin as cerebrovascular disease symptoms with or without hypertension.The most common manifestation of CAA is lobe hemorrhage,while the CAA-related hemorrhage seldom occurs in basal ganglia,cerebellum and brainstem.CAA can also manifest cerebral infarction and subarachnoid hemorrhage.Anticoagulant (warfarin) or antiplatelet agents (aspirin) maybe a contributing factor for CAA-related hemorrhage.

Objective Human immunoglobulin combinatorial library was generated by using phage surface display expression system, and phage antibodies (Fabs) to platelet were screened.Methods:PBMC were separated from a patient who Were transfusion refractory to platelet. mRNA was isolated and cDNA was synthesized by reverse transcriptase.The immunoglobulin heavy chain Fd and the light chain ? genes were amplified by half nested PCR and the PCR products were cloned into the expression vector pCome3 respectively.The immunoglobulin combinatorial library was constructed and screened by 3 rounds of affinity selection.Results Human Immunoglobulin Combinatorial Library was successfully constructed.The specific phage antibodies were highly enriched after 3 rounds of biopanning selection against platelet membrane proteins.Conclusion The antibody library and human monoclonal antibodies to platelet may be useful as molecular tools to study the anti platelet drugs, platelet related diseases, epitope of human platelet antigens.

The levels of C-reactive protein(CRP),adenosine deaminase(ADA),total cholesterol (TC),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA),ferritin(Fer),β2-microglobulin (β2-MG),alpha-fetoprotdn(AFP),carbohydrate anfigen12-5(CA125),carbohydrate antigen19-9(CAl99),carbohydrate antigen15-3(CA153),eyfra211(CY211)and neuron specific enolase(NSE)were detected by automatic chemistry analyzer or electrogenerated chemiluminescence analyzer in pleural and peritoneal exudates from 48 cases oftuberculosis and 82 cases of malignant tumors.The levels of CRP,ADA and β2-MG in tuberculotic exudates were higher than those in malignant exudates(P<0.01).However,the levels of TC,LDH,CEA,Fer,CA153,CY211,NSE,AFP,CA125 and CA199 in malignant exudates were higher than those in tuberculotic exudates(P<0.01).Combined determination of CRP,ADA,TC,LDH,CEA,Fer,and β2-MG in pleural and peritoneal exudates are of value in differentiation of tuberculosis from malignant exudates.Combined determination of CA153.CY211 and NSE in pleural effusions and AFP,CA125 and CA199 in peritoneal effusions can improve the semitivity and specificity of diagnosis for malignant exudates.
