Objective To investigate the influences of psychological rehabilitation nursing on immune function in post stroke depression patients.Methods A total of 80 elderly patients with post stroke depression were recruited from the inpatients in geriatric neurology department at Tianjin Medical University General Hospital.All patients were divided into two groups:the control group received only conventional and auxiliary exercise therapy for 3 months; rehabilitation group received psychological rehabilitation nursing added to the above therapy for 3 months.Barthel indexes,Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) scores and immune function were detected at recruit and three months after treatment.Results There were no statistically significant differences in clinical data between the rehabilitation group and control group (all P＞0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in Barthel indexes,Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) scores and immune function between rehabilitation group and control group before treatment (all P＞ 0.05).Compared with control group,the rehabilitation group showed that the Barthel Indexes were increased (P=0.000),Hamilton Depression Sale (HAMD) scores were decreased (P=0.000),the levels of T lymphocyte subpopulation (P＜ 0.05) and immunoglobulin (P＜ 0.01) were increased after three months treatment.Conclusions The combination treatment of psychological rehabilitation nursing,auxiliary exercise and drug are helpful to recover immune function and improve the quality of life in patients with post stroke depression.

Abstract: Objective To understand the prevalence and influencing factors of major chronic diseases among Kirgiz residents in Aheqi County, Xinjiang, and to provide theoretical basis for the prevention and control of chronic diseases in this area. Methods　The data of residents in Aheqi County, Kizilsu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang in 2020 for health checkup were selected, and the permanent residents of Kirgiz nationality aged ≥18 were selected as the survey objects, and the prevalence of major chronic diseases and their influencing factors were analyzed by Logistic regression model. Results　A total of 21 935 patients were enrolled, and 10 602 patients suffered from chronic diseases with a prevalence rate of 48.33%, including 4 929 cases of hypertension with a prevalence rate of 22.47%, 4 238 cases of obesity with a prevalence rate of 19.32%, 3 610 cases of dyslipidemia with a prevalence rate of 16.46%, 1 632 cases of anemia with a prevalence of 7.44%, and 1 236 cases of type 2 diabetes with a prevalence of 5.63%. The prevalence of hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and type 2 diabetes increased with age, while the prevalence of anemia decreased with age (P<0.01). The prevalence of hypertension dyslipidemia and type 2 diabetes was higher in males than in females, and the prevalence of obesity and anemia was higher in females than in males, with statistical significance (P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that 30-<40 years old (OR=1.836, 95%CI: 1.565-2.034), 40-<50 years old (OR=2.916, 95%CI: 2.613-3.255), 50-<60 years old (OR=5.244, 95%CI: 4.651-5.913), 60 years old and above (OR=10.866, 95%CI: 9.533-12.385), government personnel (OR=1.789, 95%CI: 1.405~2.279), professional and technical personnel (OR=1.774, 95%CI:1.372-2.295), the office staff (OR=1.923, 95%CI: 1.418-2.607) occasional alcohol consumption (OR=1.157, 95%CI: 1.055-1.270) and occasional exercise (OR=1.498, 95%CI: 1.238-1.812) were risk factors for chronic disease. Conclusion　The prevalence of chronic diseases among residents in Aheqi County of Xinjiang is at a low level. Local health institutions have strengthened health education and publicity on multiple chronic diseases and the prevention and control of anemia among young and middle-aged women.

Objective To study the clinical char acteristics and outcome of two lymphoma patients mimicking Beh?et's disease. Methods Lymphoma was diagnosed in two patients mimicking Beh?et's disease referred to our Department in 2015. A search on published similar cases in Chinese database and the Pubmed was also performed and then analyzed. Results Eight patients were indentified in this pooled analysis, six of which were non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). All of the eight cases presented with cutaneous lesion, seven cases with fever, seven cases with oral ulceration and six cases with orogenital ulceration, respectively. Ocular involvement was present in four of the eight cases, two were with a positive pathergy test. Among feverish patients, six were moderate or high fever, four were high fever, one was low-grade fever. Neutropenia was found in four patients, and lymphocytoponia in four of five patients with detailed data. All patients fulfilled the 2014 International Criteria for Beh?et's Disease (ICBD) with an average score of (5.8 ±1.5), ranging from 4 to 8.

OBJECTIVETo develop a RP-HPLC method for the determination of quercetin in UGT1A3 cDNA-transfected cells.

METHODSThe lysate of cells transfected with human recombinant uridine 5-diphosphate glucuronosyltransferases UGT1A3 cDNA was co-incubated with quercetin, the reaction was terminated with acetonitrile, and luteolin was used as internal standard. The determination was performed on a C(1) reversed phase column with a mobile phase of methanol-0.1% formic acid (V/V) at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. The gradient elution was as follows: 0 - 25 min (30:70-80:20, methanol:0.1% formic acid), > 25-25.5 min (80:20), >25.5-27 min (80:20-30:70), > 27-30 min (30:70). A UV-VIS detector was operated at 368 nm.

RESULTThe standard curve was linear over the concentration range of 5-200 μmol/L (r = 0.9999). The limit of detection was 1.25 μmol/L(S/N ≥ 3), and the limit of quantification was 5 μmol/L (S/N >10, RSD = 6.99%). The method afforded recoveries of 99.1%-103.5%, and precisions for inter- and intra-assay were < 2.5% and < 8%, respectively. In addition, kinetic analysis indicated that the K(m), V(max) and CL(int) (V(max)/K(m)) values for quercetin glucuronide were (62.95 ± 13.16) μ mol/L, (284.50 ± 24.35)nmol*min⁻¹*g⁻¹ and 4.52 ml*min⁻¹*g⁻¹, respectively.

CONCLUSIONThe method established is accurate and simple and suitable for the determination of quercetin in UGT1A3 cDNA-expressed cells.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the risk factors for hearing impairment in premature infants.

METHODSA total of 895 premature infants who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit from January to December 2010 were evaluated using distortion product otoacoustic emission to detect hearing impairment. The failure rates in initial screening and secondary screening were recorded. The risk factors for failure to pass hearing screenings were elucidate using multivariate logistic regression analysis.

RESULTSThe failure rate in initial screening was 38.4%, and the failure rate in secondary screening was 18.3%. In the auditory brainstem response test conducted at three months after birth, the failure rate was 22.2%. In premature infants with a gestational age of 28-29(+6) weeks, 60.5% did not pass the initial screening; 48.1% of the premature infants with a birth weight of 1 001-1 499  g failed the initial screening; 70.0% of the premature infants with a birth weight of ≤1 000  g failed the initial screening; 53.8% of the premature infants who had severe asphyxia failed the initial screening; 45.0% of the premature infants who used invasive ventilation failed the initial screening; 47.9% of the premature infants with a total bilirubin of ≥340 µmol/L failed the initial screening; 54.6% of the premature infants with septicemia failed the initial screenings. The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed the following independent risk factors for failing the initial and secondary hearing screenings: gestational age, birth weight, hyperbilirubinemia and septicemia.

CONCLUSIONSPremature infants are susceptible to hearing impairment because they have immature organs and tissues and incomplete blood-brain barrier function and are sensitive to such factors as hyperbilirubinemia and infection. Early hearing screening and follow-up are necessary for premature infants to ensure timely interventions.

The objective of this study was to explore the effect of amifostine (AMF) in treating patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and its adverse effects. 17 ITP patients (aged from 13 to 92, mean 65 years) were treated with AMF and their therapeutic regimen was following: 0.4 g AMF was dissolved in 100 ml physiological saline, the intravenous drop was performed at day and lasted 5 days per week, with interval 2 days, 4 weeks were considered as a course of treatment. The results showed that the normal counts of platelets were observed in 17 ITP patients after 1 course of treatment, and remained unchanged for 2 months following stop of therapy. In that time, no any drugs such as hormonal preparation, gamma-globulin, blood transfusion and so on were given in all treated patients, the main adverse effect of AMF was discomfort in digestive system that all patients could endure. Therefore, the patient's life quality was obviously improved. It is concluded that the AMF has been initially and successfully used to treat ITP patients with positive response, and may be considered as a safe-effective drug for treating old patients with ITP, but the long-term effect and pharmacological mechanism of this drug needs further evaluation.

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical effect of acupoint injection with small dose of fentanyl-droperido mixed liquor at different time stages on labor analgesia, and explore its function mechanism.

METHODSOne hundred and fifty cases of full-term primiparas who were intended to take vaginal delivery were randomly divided into 3 groups, 50 cases in each one. The acupoint injection with fentanyl-droperido mixed liquor at different time stages was applied in the group I, where Shenshu (BL 23) was selected in active phase and Ciliao (BL 32) was selected in the 2nd stage of labor. The subcutaneous injection with fentanyl-droperido mixed liquor was adopted in group II. The group III, which was considered as a control group, was treated with subcutaneous injection of 0.9% NaCl at the same time stage as group I and II. The blood pressure, VAS score and level of norepinephrine and adrenaline were observed at different time stages.

RESULTSCompared before the injection, the blood pressure of group III in the active phase and 2nd stage of labor was significantly increased (P < 0.05), and that in group II and III was obviously higher than that in the group I (P < 0.05). The VAS score of group I in the active phase and 2nd stage of labor was significantly lower than that in the group II and III (P < 0.01). After the injection, the level of NE and E was significantly decreased (P < 0.05), which was lower than that in the group II and III (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe acupoint injection with small dose of fentanyl-droperido mixed liquor at different time stages has positive effect on labor analgesia, and it could significantly relieve stress reaction of parturient during the labor. Its mechanism could be related to the reduction of stress hormone in parturient.

Cell lines of Bcap37 and Bcap37/MDR1 (the high P-glycoprotein (P-gp) expressing cell line) were used as model to investigate the different accumulations of (E)-2-(4-(diethylamino methyl) benzylidene)-5,6-dimethoxy-2,3-dihydroinden-one (BYZX) in the two kinds of cells. It was authenticated that whether BYZX was the substrate of P-gp. Meanwhile, the inhibitive effects of BYZX on the P-gp were investigated by determining the fluorescence intensity of rhodamine 123 in the model cells, with and without BYZX. A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method was used to determine the accumulations of BYZX in the two cells. The results showed that the amount of BYZX accumulation in Bcap37/MDR1 cells were as many as those in Bcap37 cells (P > 0.05), and the concentrations of BYZX accumulated in the Bcap37/MDR1 cells did not increase when co-incubated with P-gp inhibitor verapamil. Furthermore, different concentrations of BYZX also had no effects on the efflux of rhodamine 123 (P > 0.05). These results indicated that there were no interactions between BYZX and P-gp. BYZX will not be pumped out of the cells, and it also not inhibited the P-gp. It was the useful advantage for its absorption.
