Objective To explore the efficacy of targeted care for sleep by analyzing polysomnography (PSG) of the different stages of night sleep in patients with depressive disorder. Methods 80 depressive patients met the recruited criteria from Feb 2015 to Feb 2016 were sample-randomly divided into research group with targeted care and controlled group with routine nurse by random number table. PSG of each case was analyzed and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) were used to assess at baseline and endpoint during 4 weeks period. Results Total sleep time, sleep efficiency, N3 and rapid eyes movement ratio of PSG were (395.74 ± 29.31) min, (80.42±1.92)%, (19.11±2.29)%and (16.01±2.55)%in research group, (372.34±24.37) min, (72.61 ± 1.64)%, (13.61 ± 2.38)%and (13.87 ± 2.03)%in controlled group (t=2.892-13.361, P<0.05). SDS at 2nd week and 4th week were (45.28 ± 6.28) points and (32.62 ± 4.65) points in research group, (48.63±7.54) points and (36.32±4.34) points in controlled group (t=-4.12,-4.43, P<0.05). HAMD at 2nd week and 4th week were (15.92 ± 2.62) points, (9.94 ± 2.32) points in research group, (18.27 ± 3.41) points and (12.45 ± 2.21) points in controlled group (t=-3.51,-4.35, P<0.05). Conclusions Efficacy of targeted care for sleep in patients with depressive disorder is better and sooner, and the intervention is good for both sleep quality and mood level.

Objective:To assess the changing trends in Gleason score (GS)of Chinese prostate carci-noma (PCa)from January 1995 to December 2014.Methods:In the study,875 patients admitted to hospital from January 1995 to December 2004 (1995 -2004)and from January 2005 to December 2014 (2005 -2014)were divided into two groups.The mean levels and proportions of GS,primary and se-condary grades were studied.The patients were divided into four groups according to age: <60,60 -69,70 -79 and ≥80 years.Types of specimen included needle biopsy (NB),transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)and radical prostatectomy (RP).Histological types were made up by acinar carci-noma and other types (including atrophic,pseudohyperplastic,foam,signet ring cell and ductal carcino-ma,and so on).The total prostate-specific antigen (tPSA)involved groups of <20.0 μg/L and ≥20.0 μg/L.We observed the mean levels and proportions of GS in age,types of specimen,histological types and total prostate-specific antigen in different periods,and used SPSS 17.0 software for statistical analysis.Results:Compared with 1995 -2004,the mean levels of GS,primary and secondary grades decreased 0.32 (P =0.003),0.19 (P =0.001)and 0.12 (P =0.016)in 2005 -2014,respectively. The proportions of ≤6 in GS increased 10.9% (P =0.003),and ≥8 decreased 14.0% (P <0.001). The difference of GS 7 was not statistically significant.In the primary grade,the ratio of grades≤3 in-creased 12.8% (P =0.001 ),and grade 4 decreased 7.4% (P =0.037),grade 5 decreased 5.5%(P =0.007).The ratio of secondary grades≤3 increased 7.6% (P =0.037).The difference of grades 4 and 5 was not statistically significant.Conclusion:GS in Chinese patients with PCa showed a down-ward trend,which is one of the notable features in the past 20 years in China.The types of specimen and age are important factors in GS,while the histological types and tPSA have less impact on the GS.

Objective To investigate the injury of podocyte and its association with proteinuria in IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Method Thirty-five patients of IgA nephropathy with proteinuria more than 1.0 g/24 h were enrolled in the study, and eight cases of renal harmatomaeetomy or renal cancinomaectomy were as controls. Cell cycle regulatory proteins (p21, p27), podocyte-associated molecules (integrin-β1, nephrin, α-actinin 4, nestin), foot process width (FPW) and the amount of podocyte were examined by immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR, respectively. Patients were divided into two groups according to podocyte number per volume (Nv): podocytopenia group (n=15, Nv<52.49×106/μm3) and normal number group (n=20, Nv≥52.49× 106/μm3). Proteinuria was followed up for eighteen months. Results Compared with the controls, podocyte p21 was re-expressed, while the expression of p27 was decreased (0.71±0.12 vs 0.91±0.07, P<0.05) in IgAN. The nestin protein level was markedly decreased in IgAN (13.4%± 0.04% vs 17.6%±0.04%, P<0.05). The mRNA expression of integrin-β1 was significantly increased (12.54±5.20 vs 1.02±0.30, P<0.05), while the amount of nephrin, α-actinin4 remained unchanged. Effacement of foot processes and podocyte detachment from the glomerulax basement membrane were observed in some cases. Nv was significantly less than that of controls (161.27± 225.92 vs 323.22±138.12, P<0.05), which was associated with the Lee's grade of IgA nephropathy. The integrin-β1 mRNA expression and Nv were negatively correlated with baseline proteinuria by univariate analysis (r=-0.840, P=0.034; r =-0.4483, P=0.014, respectively). Proteinuria in podocytopenia group was decreased more slowly than that in normal number group. Conclusions Podocyte injury exsists in IgAN with proteinuria, which manifests alterations in cell cycle regulatory protein and some podocyte-associated molecules, as well as foot process effacement and loss of pedocyte. Podocyte injury may be involved in proteinuria by affecting the progression of proteinuria in IgAN.
