Objective To investigate the depression after stroke in middle-aged patients and discuss the mental nursing.Methods Self-Rating Depression Scale was used to find 30 depression patients from 52 patients with stroke.They were analyzed and accepted mental nursing.Results The rate of depression mental state patients in 52 patients is 57.69%.After accepting mental nursing,the number of unsociability,morose and fatigue decreased,while that of role adaptation and self-confident increased significantly(P<0.05).Conclusion There is high incidence of depression in middle-aged patients with stroke.Mental nursing is helpful improve their adaptation and quality of living.

With the standard of living improved, people had less and less interests in exercise, adiposity has being a problem that people have to be up against all over the world. Exercise can step up energy expenditure, decrease fat accumulation, minish the volume of fat cell, and is one of widely used, effective, safe, economical measures of anti-adiposity. The adaptable change of neuroendocrine system in exercise quicken up fat to burn more. Leptine is an important signal of measuring fat content of body. The relationship between adiposity and leptin, and the effect of exercise on leptin was reviewed in this paper.

Objective To report on an autosomal recessive pyramidal tract, corpus callosum and peripheral nerve degeneration in a family and to study its relationship with other complicated hereditary spastic paraparesis. Methods Neurological examination revealed the following findings. Proband was a 20 year old man who spoke slowly and developed mental retardation in his childhood. Gait disturbance with pyramidal signs and mild cerebellar ataxia were found when the patient was 16. Slight sensory disturbance was present in the lower extremities. His 23 year old sister had similar symptoms at beginning of disease when she was 17. Their clinical courses were bad progressively. Electromyogram showed nerve conduction velocity decrease in the nerve medianus and neurogenic process in the muscle tibialis anterior. Cranial MRI, muscle and nerve suralis biopsies were examined in proband patients. Results MRI showed thin corpus callosum with cerebral and cerebellar atrophy as well as enlargement of ventricle system. Myopathological findings were characterized by angular atrophy fibers in small groups with appearance of hypertrophy fibers. The nerve suralis biopsy showed degeneration and regeneration of myelinated axons. Conclusion Our study confirms that this family is hereditary spastic paraparesis with mental retardation, thin corpus callosum and polyneuropathy reported mostly in Japan. Axonal polyneuropathy is a common pathological feature of this disease.

Objective To explore the applicability of the abbreviated Chinese version of the social problem-solving inventory (C-SPSI) for nursing students in Shanghai. Methods The abbreviated C-SPSI was revised and 603 nursing students in Shanghai were surveyed by it, and the reliability and con-struct validity were evaluated by inter-item consistency analysis, test-retest reliability and principal factor analysis. Results The total CVI was 0.968. The construct validity was confirmed by factor analysis with 64.917% variance explained by four factors. The total Cronbach's α of C-SPSI was 0.897,and the total test-retest reliability coefficient was 0.781. Conclusions The abbreviated C-SPSI is an instrument with good reliability and validity and it can be used in assessing the nursing students' social problem-solving abilities and deficits.

AIM:To analyze the accuracy and the influencing factors of LAMBDA100 retinometer in predicting the visual acuity of cataract patients with high axial myopia after phacoemulsification.METHODS: The retinal visual acuity was measured in 91 patients with 91 cataract eyes by LAMBDA100, and compared with the best corrected visual acuity 2wk after operations.If differences of predictive visual acuity and postoperative visual acuity between the two logarithmic visual acuity chart was within 2 lines, it was considered consistent.RESULTS: The total compliance rate was 62%, the false positive rate was 2%,the false negative rate was 36%.The predictive accuracy was affected by lens opacity, the deeper opacity, the lower accuracy.The predictive accuracy of eye with axial length ≥32mm was significantly lower than that of eye with axial length <32mm, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The predictive accuracy rate of group that preoperative best corrected visual acuity was ≥4.0 was 75%;the predictive accuracy rate of group that preoperative best corrected visual acuity was <4.0 was 49%, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: LAMBDA100 can be used as an assistant tool for predicting postoperative visual acuity in immature stage cataract of patients with high myopia.The eye axial length, the degree of visual acuity and lens opacity can influence the predicting accuracy.

Objective To report the clinical, myopathological and genetic features in myofibrillar myopathy (MFM) with numerous cytoplasmatic-spheroid bodies. Methods Ten patients in 5 successive generations began to present progressive proximal limbs weakness at 35 to 40 years old. Additionally, 4 cases manifested diarrhea and 6 cases accompanied with cardiorespiratory symptoms. An open biopsy was performed on the proband. In addition to histological, enzymhistochemical staining and ultrastructural examination, immunohistochemical staining with antibody against tau, desmin, ubiquitin, dysferlin, dystrophin-C', dystrophin-N' and dystrophin-R were done. All the exons of the MYOT, CRYAB, DESMIN, LDB3, LMNA, SEPNI gene and the FLNC exon 48 were analysed. Results Cytoplasmatic bodies and spheroid bodies were found in the fibers. The deposited material were positive for tau, desmin, ubiquitin, dysferlin and dystrophin-R, dystrophin-C'. Electron microscope showed granular dense Z-disc material in the inclusions which were surrounded by thin filament. There was no mutation in the above exons of the 7 candidate genes. Conclusions Myofibrillar myopathy involves multiple system impairment. Cytoplasmatic and spheroid bodies contain microtubule and membrane associated protein. The disease might be induced by some unknown genetic abnormities.

To report the clinical, radiological and neuropathological findings of a patient with rheuma-toid meningitis. The patient was a 71-year-old Chinese man with a two-year history of rheumatoid arthritisand no other significant medical history, who presented to our hospital recurrent weakness of his left ex-tremities, dysarthria and a continuous bilateral hand tremor. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serumexam-inations were normal apart from a mildly raised serum perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody(p-ANCA). Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed leptomeningeal enhancementin both fron-tal and parietal lobes, in addition to several old white matter infarcts. Meningeal biopsy showed numerousinfiltrating macrophages and lymphocytes within the leptomeninges. The patient responded clinically andradiologically to corticosteroid and cyclophosphamide therapy. The patient subsequently developed herpeszoster over his left chest as a complication of his immunosuppressive treatment. His cyclophosphamidewas ceased and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy was commenced, with good clinical responseto both the herpes zoster and meningitis. According to the result of the biopsy, aseptic meningitis wasconsidered the MRI results and the patient’s clinical history were given, and a diagnosis of rheumatoidmeningitis was made. The patientwas p-ANCApositive. Although there was no evidence for cerebral vas-culitis on biopsy, it remains a possibility that the patient’s recurrent minor cerebral infarcts visible onMRI were vasculitic in nature.
