Objective To investigate traditional Chinese medical emotional intervention on the cognition function of senile patients after abdominal surgery. Methods Seventy senile patients having elective abdominal operation were randomized into intervention group and control group, 35 cases in each group. The control group received routine peri-operative nursing, and the intervention group was given routine peri-operative nursing and emotional intervention based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. The cognition function was evaluated with mini-mental state examination (MMSE) on preoperative day 1, postoperative day 3 and 7, and serum S100βprotein level was detected before operation and on postoperative day 7. Results (1)Time for recovery from general anesthesia in the intervention group was much shortened as compared with that of the control group(P<0.05). (2)On postoperative day 3, the incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction(POCD) was much lower than that of the control group(P<0 . 0 5), and on postoperative day 7 , the difference of POCD incidence was insignificant between the two groups(P>0.05). (3) On postoperative day 7, serum S-100β protein level in the two groups was increased as compared with that before treatment(P<0.05), but the difference between the two groups was insignificant(P>0.05). Conclusion Traditional Chinese medical emotional intervention has an effect on shortening time for recovery from general anesthesia and decreasing POCD incidence, but has no effect on POCD incidence and serum S100βprotein level on postoperative day 7.

Objective To introduce inhaled inactivated-mycobacterium phlei on prevention and treatment of moderate bronchial asthma to observe the clinical effect. Method This study was a prospective and controlled study. The patients diagnosed with asthma in our out-patient from March 2009 to December 2010 were collected, who met the following conditions were included in the study: age≥ 14 years; met the criteria of moderate chronic persistent bronchial asthma in Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) in 2008; suspended receiving systemic corticosteroids, Montelukast, ketotifen and other anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic drugs in one month; no significant respiratory tract infections; and other serious illnesses or abnormalities known.A total of 100 patients with asthma were selected, including 37 males and 63 females, age (32.11 ± 12.95 )years. The patients were randomly(random number) divided into two groups: A group(treatment group; 16males and 34 females, age 33.56 ± 14.23 years) and B group (control group; 21 males and 29 females,age 30.66 ± 11.50 years); 50 in each group. No significant difference was noted between the two groups on age and gender composition. The patients in A group were treated with inhaled inactivated-mycobacterium phlei F. U. 36 Injection 1.72 μg/mL × 2 that adding 3 mL normal saline, once a day for 5 days. The patients in B group were treated with salmeterol xinafoate and fluticasone propionate powder for inhalation (50/100 μg), twice daily for sustainable use. The patients in the two groups were observed for one month. During this course, the patients in the two groups could inhale the salbutamol sulphate aerosol as need to relieve symptoms. And the number of using was recorded. Pulmonary function test and asthma provocative test were carried out on the Day O, 6 and 31. ACT scores were measured before and after the treatment. Results On Day 6 and 31 after treatment, the negative conversion rates of asthma provocative test of the patients in A group were 82% and 78% respectively, B group were 84% and 90% respectively. Provocative test of the patients in the two groups were negative conversion significantly before and after treatment. There was no significant difference between the two groups by chi-square test (P > 0. 05 ). Completely random designed data was analyzed by analysis of variance. The analysis showed that the accumulated doses of methacholine of the patients in the two group increased significantly ( P < 0. 05 ), but no difference between the two groups.There was a improvement trend on forced expiratory volume in one second( FEV1 )of the patients in A group after treatment, but no difference. FEV1 of the patients in B group increased significantly higher ( P <0.05), which was significantly higher than A group on the 31th day (P <0. 05); Peak expiratory flow (PEF) of the patients in the two group increased significantly on Day 6 and 31 after treatment (P <0.05 ).On Day 31, B group was significantly higher than A group ( P < 0. 05 ); Scores of asthma control test (ACT)of the patients in the two group were significantly increased, and the number of using of salbutamol sulfate aerosol was significantly reduced (P <0.01 ). B group was obvious than group A (P <0.05 ). During treatment, there were only two adverse reaction cases of transient low fever; most obvious was on the third day.Conclusions Inhaled inactivated-mycobacterium phlei would inhibit the airway hyperresponsiveness of the patients with moderate bronchial asthma in short time, improve the symptoms, reduce the acute exacerbation, and reduce the use of rescue medication, which has the roles of prevention and treatment of moderate asthma in a certain period of time.

Objective: To explore the correlation of monocyte to HDL-C ratio (MHR) and post-operative slow lfow or no relfow in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: A total of 216 STEMI patients treated in our hospital from 2014-10 to 2016-05 were enrolled. The patients were divided into 2 groups: Slow lfow or no relfow group, the patients with TIMI grade≤2,n=43 and Normal lfow group, n=173. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was performed to assess the best cut-off value for MHR predicting slow lfow or no relfow with its sensitivity and speciifcity; Logistic regression analysis was conducted to studied weather MHR could be used as an independent risk factor for coronary slow lfow or no relfow in STEMI patients after PCI. Results: Compared with Normal lfow group, Slow lfow or no relfow group had the higher MHR (18.6±9.8) vs (10.9±5.5), P<0.001. Univariate Regression analysis indicated that MHR was a risk factor of slow lfow or no relfow occurrence (OR=2.22, 95% CI 1.58-3.28); multivariate regression analysis presented that MHR was an independent risk factor of slow lfow or no relfow occurrence (OR=1.55, 95% CI 1.01-2.38). ROC curve showed that the best cut-off value for MHR predicting slow lfow or no relfow occurrence was 13.37 with the sensitivity and speciifcity at 67.4% and 70.5% respectively, the area under curve (AUC) was 0.734, 95% CI 0.646-0.822. Conclusion: MHR was an independent risk factor for slow lfow or no relfow occurrence in STEMI patients after PCI.

Objective:To explore the clinical and genetic characteristics of two children with mental retardation and microcephaly.Methods:Two children who had visited the Anhui Children′s Hospital respectively on March 12 and June 22, 2021 were selected as the study subjects. Peripheral venous blood samples were collected from them and their parents, and subjected to chromosomal karyotyping and whole exome sequencing analyses. Candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing and pathogenicity analysis. This study was approved by the Anhui Children′s Hospital (Ethics No. EYLL-2018-008).Results:Chromosomal karyotyping and copy number detection of the two children had found no abnormality. Whole exome sequencing revealed that child 1 has harbored a c. 471delT (p.Pro157Profs*9) frameshifting variant of the CASK gene, whilst child 2 has harbored a c. 1259_1269delCTGAGAATAAC (p.Pro420fs*27) frameshifting variant of the CASK gene. Sanger sequencing confirmed that both variants were de novo in origin. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics and the Association for Molecular Pathology (ACMG-AMP), both variants were rated as pathogenic (PVS1+ PS2+ PP3). Conclusion:The de novo variants of the CASK gene probably underlay the pathogenesis of mental retardation and microcephaly in both children.
