Objective To investigate the personality traits, anxiety and depression in patients with leukemia. Methods A cross-sectional survey was performed in 120 patients with leukemia and 118 age and gender-matched controls. Personality was assessed using the Type A Behavior Pattern Questionnaire (TABPQ). Emotion was ascertained using the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS). The relationship between personality type A and anxiety and depression was evaluated by Pearson correlation analysis. Results The prevalence of personality type A was significantly higher in patients with leukemia than healthy controls [71.67 % (86/120) vs. 30.51 % (36/118), P< 0.01]. Patients with leukemia also had higher prevalence of anxiety and depression compared with healthy controls [36.67%(44/120) vs. 9.32%(11/118), P< 0.01; 29.17 % (35/120) vs. 5.93 % (7/118), P< 0.01]. Pearson correlation analysis showed that time-hurry (TH) and competition-hostility (CH) of personality type A correlated positively with anxiety (r=0.292, r= 0.277, respectively; both P< 0.05). Conclusion TH and CH of personality type A are associated with anxiety in leukemia patients.

AIM: To investigate lipoprotein lipase gene HindⅢ polymorphism and its relationship with serum lipids and apolipoprotein, serum HDL subclasses in patients with hyperlipoidemia. METHODS: Lipoprotein lipase gene HindⅢ polymorphism was assayed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The subclasses of serum HDL in 152 hyperlipoidemia patients and 128 healthy subjects were determined by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis conjunction with immunodetection method. RESULTS: H+H+ genotype and allele H+ in hyperlipoidemia and control groups were both the highest. In hyperlipidemia group, H+H+ genotypes tended to be higher than that in control group, while H+H- and H-H- genotypes were significantly lower (P

Objective To study the spinal neurocyte apoptosis and the changes of p53 in chronic fluorosis rats,and the improvement after drinking no fluoride water.Methods One hundred twenty Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups by random number table method according to body mass,30 rats in one group fed with high concentration NaF water (200 mg/L) to make fluorosis model and classified as high fluoride group;other 30 rats were fed with distilled water as control group;another 30 rats were fed with high concentration NaF water (200 mg/L) for 12 weeks,then fed with distilled water for 12 weeks and classified as defluorination group;the rest 30 rats were classified as defluorination control group.The content of fluoride in urine was tested after the 4th,8th,and 12th weeks.Then the content of fluoride in urine of defluorination group and defluorination control group was tested.The high fluoride group rats and control group rats were killed after 12th week.Defluorination group rats and defluorination control group rats were killed after 24th week.Their spinal cord was collected.The expression of p53 protein in spinal cord was detected by immunohistochemistry and Westem blotting.Apoptosis of the neurocyte was quantitatively analyzed by flow cytometry (FCM).Results By FCM,apoptosis of neurocyte was increased in both high fluorosis group rats and defluorination group rats compared with those in control group rats [(3.36 ± 0.71)％ vs.(0.78 ± 0.65)％;(3.47 ± 0.56)％ vs.(0.83 ± 0.64)％,t =14.680,17.003,all P ＜ 0.01)],but no difference was found between these two groups [(3.47 ± 0.56)％ vs.(3.36 ± 0.71)％,P ＞ 0.05)].Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting revealed that p53 expression in spinal cord of high fluorosis group rats was increased compared with those in control group rats (422.69 ± 12.35 vs.177.82 ± 14.16;253.37 ± 10.42 vs.87.14 ± 7.39,t =77.212,72.988,all P ＜ 0.01).And p53 expression in spinal cord of defluorination group rats was increased compared with those in control group rats (418.75 ± 11.84 vs.163.47 ± 8.57;248.29 ± 10.23 vs.98.74 ± 11.52,t =95.663,53.167,all P＜ 0.01).But the differences were not statistically significant (418.75 ± 11.84 vs.422.69 ± 12.35;248.29 ± 10.23 vs.253.37 ± 10.42,t =1.261,1.906,all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions There is apoptosis of neurocytes in the spinal cord of chronic fluorosis rats;overexpression of p53 probably plays an important role in the mechanism of damage induced by excessive fluorine.Apoptosis can not be recovered after defluorination for a short time,and persistent overexpression of p53 may be one of the reasons that apoptosis of neurocytes in the spinal cord can not decrease.

Objective:To screen the binding peptide against adenovirus type 7(Ad7) and evaluate the relevance with the ade-novirus receptor .Methods:Binding peptide against Ad 7 was screened by panning the phage display 12 peptides library .The antibody against the selected peptide was prepared and was used to study the binding to the membrane by immunofluorescence technique .Re-sults:Using Ad7 as the target protein , GTS09 peptide was selected from the phage display 12 peptides library by biopanning .GTS09-phage complex could significantly bind Ad 7, with the affinity constant up to 1.93 ×1010 L/mol;at the same time, immunofluorescence showed that antibody of GTS09 could specifically bind to membrane of 293 cell.Conclusion: Antibody against GTS09 peptide could specifically bind to membrane of 293 cell,which shows that the peptide may presumably have homology with the cell receptors of Ad 7.

BACKGROUND:Some scholars have found that cervical vertebral body bone trabecula was reduced,became thin,even perforated in old patients with osteoporosis.Whether this change will induce cervical vertebral body deformation,and what relationship to the onset of cervical syndromeOBJECTIVE:To study the relation of cervical spondylotic myelopathy and osteoporosis by measuring and comparing.METHODS:A totaI of 40 subjects with normal lumbar vertebra density and without cervical spondylosis were enrolled as control group,averagely 32 5 years.A total of 30 patients with cervical spondylosis served as cervical spondylosis group,averagely 43.6 years.Totally 46 patients with cervical spondylosis and osteoporosis served as combined with osteoporosis group,averagely 58.6 years.116 subjects underwent radiograph Height and sagittal diameter of the vertebral body ratio of height to sagittal diameter of the vertebral body.and ratio of sagittal diameter of cervical canal/vertebra body were measured.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group.vertebral height was decreased.and sagittal diameter became longer(P＜0.05),and the ratio of sagittal diameter of cervical canal/vertebra body became smaller(P＜0.05)in the combined with osteoporosis group.Vertebral body deformation was characterized by decreased vertebral height and prolonged sagittal diameter became flat.Results suggested that osteoporosis induced cervical vertebral deformation,correlation between osteoporosis and cervical spondylosis,which may be a factor for cervical spondylosis development.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy in bilateral lumbar foraminal stenosis (LFS) after treatment with bilateral facetectomy combined with pedicle screw fixation and interbody fusion.Methods A total of 41 cases of patients with bilateral LFS underwent bilateral facetectomy combined with pedicle screw fixation and interbody fusion from February 2010 to August 2013 in Department of Spine Surgery,the People's Hospital of Tianjin City,were retrospectively analysed.The clinical efficacy was assessed by Oswestry disability index (ODD questionnaire and visual analogue scale (VAS) before and after operation,anterior and posterior disc height and L1-S1 angle were measured as well.Then the ODI and VAS scores,and changes in anterior and posterior disc height and L1-S1 angle were calculated at the time of the last patient follow-up visit.Results All 41 patients were followed up for 12 to 36 months,with an average of (26.2±2.4) months.Compared with preoperation,at the time of the last follow-up visit the back pain VAS score,leg pain VAS score and ODI were decreased,while the anterior and posterior disc height were increased,there were statistically significant differences (P＜0.05).No statistically significant difference was found in L1-S1 angle between preoperation and postoperation (P＞0.05).Conclusion The short-term clinical curative effect of posterior bilateral facetectomy combined with pedicle screw fixation and interbody fusion in the treatment of bilateral LFS is satisfactory.

Objective To investigate the influence of the biofeedback electrostimulation against the pelvic floor muscles to cure female pelvic floor dysfunction disease (PFD). Method Fifty-four female PFD patients treated with the biofeedback electrostimulation against the pelvic floor muscles by applying with different frequency and pulse width for different patients. Results The cure rate of the pelvic organ prolapse (POP) patients was 10.0%(1/10) and the cure rate of the post partum pelvic floor injury patients was 100.0%(32/32) except the stress urinary incontinence(SUI) patients. But the SUI patients improved efficacy rate was 91.7%(11/12) and the POP patients improved efficacy rate was 70.0%(7/10). The total efficacy rate was 94.4%(51/54). Conclusions It shows that the biofeedback electrostimulation against the pelvic floor muscles could cure the female PFD,reduce the disease morbidity of the PFD and improve the quality of female patient's lfie. As a result, the curing method could have clinical application prospect extensively.

Objective To assess the clinical and radiologic outcomes between laminoplasty with forominotomy(LF) and anterior cervical discectomy and fusion(ACDF) in treating cervical radiculomyelopathy(CRM). Methods Datas of 68 patients (ACDF=33, LF=35) from January 2008 to January 2010 was collected retrospectively, the follow-up is at least 2 years. The Japa-nese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score and associated recovery rate were evaluated. For radiographic evaluation, the lordotic an-gle and range of motion (ROM) at C2-C7 were investigated. The Neck Disabilitv Index Scale(NDI) was used to evaluate the degree of patient’pain at the last follow-up. Results Patients’demographics were similar between the two groups. The differences be-tween ACDF and LF in operative time (187min VS 154min),the blood loss (127 ml VS 235 ml) and the sensation of lower extremity (64.0%VS 66.0%) are significant(t=4.170, P=0.000;Z=-6.888, P=0.000;Z=-7.512, P=0.000). 1 case with failed fusion of bone graft 3 months post-operation. 3 cases of adjacent segment degenerative changes occurred at the 2nd year follow-up in ACDF group. But no such complications occurred in the EOLF group. In addition, ACDF group showed lower NDI score than LF group in extracting and amusing (Z=-3.947, P=0.000;t=-7. 523, P=0.000). Cervical lordosis of ACDF increased from 13.7° to 16.2°, while that of LF group decreased from 14.6° to 13.3°(Z=-3.374,P=0.001);Both of the two groups (ACDF/LF) exhibited decreased cervi-cal ROM (14.8° VS 16.5°, t=-2.167, P=0.034). Conclusion The two surgical procedures have similar clinical effects in treating multi-segmental CRM. However, the LF group demonstrated shorter operative time, fewer short-term complications, so it proved to be effective and safe surgical procedure.
