Because the rehabilitation process is too long and its effect is non-significant, stroke patients are prone to showing over-reliance on their families, being unconfident in their abilities, and they usually miscommunicate with medical staff, in fact, the reason why they have these problems is that they didn't manifest appropriate ego states, so they couldn't communicate with families and medical staff healthily,which is extremely unfavorable for stroke rehabilitation. So-called ego state is individual mentality and corresponding behavior patterns.This paper used ego state concept in transactional analysis theory to describe the change of stroke patients' ego states, and analyze the communication patterns among patients, medical staffs and families, in order to assist patients to be aware of their own ego states, and present them properly, develop healthy communication, and promote the rehabilitation of the disease in the end.

Objective Concluding the clinical feature and prognosis of primary testicular lymphoma to improve the understanding of this disease.Methods During 1995 and 2010,17 cases of primary testicular lymphoma treated in Beijing Friendship Hospital of Capital Medical University were retrospectively analyzed of its clinical features,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis.Results Seventeen patients with a mean age of 68 years complained the testicular sohd mass as their first symptoms.The mean tumor diameter was 4.7 cm,and all patients underwent orchidectomy,and testicular non- Hodgkin's lymphoma was confirmed by pathologic examination.Fourteen cases were diffuse large B cell type and 3 cases were anaplastic large cell type.The clinical stage of all the patients was IE.Fourteen cases were followed up (3 cases were lost)with mean follow-up time of 37.8 months by outpatient interview and telephone,all patients were treated with CHOP chemotherapy,and some of them were combined with rituximab and preventive lowdose pelvic radiotherapy.Five cases died of other chronic medical complications,1 case with contralateral testicular metastasis received surgery again.There were 9 tumor free survival cases in total.Conclusion Primary testicular lymphoma is rare and more common in older men.Postoperative pathologic diagnosis is gold standard.The systemic treatment and individual therapy is the first choice for primary testicular lymphoma.

Objective To evaluate cerebrospinal fluid adenosine deaminase(CSF-ADA)activity in the diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis(TMB), and to observe its dynamic changes. Methods A total of 160 patients were included and were divided into two groups: 76 cases of TBM and 84 cases of non-TBM.Among the cases of non-TBM, there were 36 cases of bacterial meningitis, 30 cases of viral meningitis and 18 cases of cryptocoocal meningitis. All the patients were measured with their CSF-ADA activity by Enzymecoupled assay(Trinder method)and 47 patients of TBM were measured again after 2 weeks' and 6 weeks'antitubercular therapy. Results were expressed as(-x)± s. Mann-Whitney U test and paired-samples t test were used. Results CSF-ADA activity in TBM group was(12.9 ±6.4)U/L, while that in the non-TBM group was(6.0 ± 4.1)U/L, the difference was of statistical significance(U = 7.860, P ＜ 0.05). With the cutoff value of 9 U/L, the sensitivity and specificity to differentiate TBM from non-TBM was 84.21% and 83. 33%, respectively. CSF-ADA activity decreased in TBM patients after antitubercular treatment.Conclusions CSF-ADA activity can be an effective laboratory marker for early differential diagnosis of TMB with the cut-off value of 9 U/L. Dynamic changes of CSF-ADA activity may be a indicator for the effect of antitubercular treatment.

Objective To explore the different operation modes for treating native renal pelvic and ureteral neoplasms occurring at the same side of transplanted kidney.Method A retrospective analysis was performed on 48 cases of native renal pelvic and ureteral neoplasms occurring at the same side of transplanted kidney,including 14 cases receiving open surgery (open surgery),22 cases receiving laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff resection through a lower abdomen oblique incision (oblique incision group) and 12 cases receiving modified endoscope assisted Plunk technique (Plunk group).The operating time,amount of bleeding and blood transfusion during operation,recovery of intestinal function,time of indwelling drainage tube and wound suture,the total cost of hospitalization,the hospital stay and the incidence of complications were comparatively analyzed.Result The operating time in open group was shortest.Group of Pluck is better than other groups in the aspects of Time of wound suture and intestinal function time in shorter in Plunk group than the rest two group (P＜0.05),and amount of bleeding and incidence of complication in Plunk group were higher than oblique incision group (P＜0.05).The incidence of complications and amount of bleeding were decreased significantly as compared with the rest groups (P＜0.05).Conclusion The mode of the laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff resection through a lower abdomen oblique incision has the advantages of high security,minimal invasion and satisfactory treatment effect.It is especially suitable for treating native renal pelvic and ureteral neoplasms occurring at the same side of transplanted kidney.

Objective To observe the effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 on the expressions of transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1), fibronectin(FN),and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) in rats with diabetic nephropathy(DN), and to elucidate the protective mechanism played by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. Methods DN models were estabolished by injecting streptozotoein ( STZ ) into male SD rats, which were divided into TGF-β1 overexpression group, TGF-β1 overexpression plus vitamin D3 group, TGF-β1 low-expression group, TGF-β1 low-expression plus vitamin D3 group, TGF-β1 normal-expression group, and TGF-β1 normal-expression plus vitamin D3 group. After 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 treatment for 37 days, renal function and blood biochemical parameters were evaluated. The morphology and fibrosis of kidney tissues were observed. The expressions of TGF-β1, FN, and VEGF in kidney cortex were measured by immunohistochemistry, realtime PCR, and Western blotting. Results The levels of cholesterol, triglyceride, creatinine,plasma glucose, HbA1C , and 24 h urinary protein were lower in vitamin D3treated groups than those in corresponding control groups(P<0. 05). The degree of renal fibrosis was raised with the increased level of TGF-β1. Vitamin D3 treatment decreased the fibrosis in diabetic kidney. There were significant differences in the mRNA and protein expressions of TGF-β1 in three control groups(P<0. 05). With the increased levels of TGF-β1, the expressions of FN and VEGF were increased. The expressions of TGF-β1, FN, and VEGF were lowered by vitamin D3compared with the corresponding control groups(P<0. 05). Conclusion 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3 may protect the renal tissure in diabetic rats via inhibiting the expressions of TGF-β1, FN, and VEGF in the kidney.

In this study, OVA-induced asthma mice was taken as the model, and orally administered with different concentration of ethanol extracts of crude and processed Stemona tuberosa, in order to determine the cytokine level released from Th1 and Th2 in splenocytes. RT-PCR was carried out to determine the genetic expression of T-bet/GATA-3 in lung, and compare the differentiation between ethanol extracts of crude and processed S. tuberosa in therapeutic effect on asthma in mice. According to the results, compared with the crude samples, processed samples significantly increased the levels of inflammatory factor INF-gamma (P < 0.05) and decreased IL-5 (P < 0.05) in splenocytes. According to the RT-PCR results, the administration of processed samples could increase the ratio of T-bet/GATA-3 (P < 0.05). The experiment showed that ethanol extracts of both crude and processed S. tuberosa could treat asthma by regulating Th1/Th2 ratio, but processed samples showed more notable effect. This indicated that crude and processed S. tuberosa had significant pharmacological difference. Therefore, it was more rational to apply processed S. tuberosa in clinical treatment of asthma and chronic cough, which layed a foundation for further revealing the processing mechanism of S. tuberosa.
