Objective To investigate the awareness rate of health knowledge,health behavior formation rate and psychological state before and after retirement intervention,analyse comprehensive psychological intervention and general psychological intervention to health behavior formation and improve the negative emotion in retired population.Methods By using cohort study method,206 retired people were randomly divided into comprehensive psychological intervention group (experimental group) and only given general psychological intervention group (control group),and each group included 103 cases.Comprehensive psychological intervention group were given health behavior and cognitive intervention,psychological intervention,psychological intervention in general family and social family care intervention,and the control group was given healthy behavior and cognitive intervention,psychological intervention.The staff were treated within 1 weeks of first assessment,2 weeks after the second assessment,4 weeks after the final.Health behavior was surveyed by Ministry of finance,the Ministry of health on public health subsidies special funds notice in city community health education pilot project in the questionnaire.Health status and quality of life were assessed with the family APGAR index (APGAR).Mental state evaluation and assessment of the treatment effect by using Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD),MBI index method was assessed with activities of daily living.The effect of the two groups were compared before and after the intervention of health knowledge rate and formation rate of different intervention methods and psychological state of health behavior.Results The results showed that there were no significant differences between experimental group and control group in age,sex,level of education and other social,and there was no significant difference in HAMD,MBI and APGAR scores at baseline.Through the implementation of the comprehensive of psychological intervention,subjects have varying degrees of improving the awareness rate of health knowledge,and the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group (P ＜ 0.05).The two group of healthy behavior of subjects in the chopping board monitoring,physical fitness,blood pressure to separate raw and cooked on such projects had different degrees of improvement,at the same time,although no intervention,in the monitoring of blood pressure.The control group increased compared with the baseline significantly (P＜ 0.05).Intervention group had significant difference in APGAR score increased (P＜ 0.05).HAMD score and MBI score decreased and the differences were statistically significant (P＜ 0.01),while the control group had no significant difference before and after intervention.Conclusion Comprehensive psychological intervention can significantly improve the rate of formation from the awareness rate of health knowledge and health behavior of retirees,and improve the state of negative emotions from retiree.

Objective To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on noise-induced hearing loss in guinea pigs.Methods Twenty-four adult male guinea pigs,aged 3 months,weighing 400-500 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =8 each) using a random number table:dexmedetomdine group (group D),noise-induced hearing loss group (group N) and dexmedetomidine + noise-induced hearing loss group (group DN).A loading dose of dexmedetomidine 5 μg/kg was infused over 5 min,followed by 135 min of infusion at a rate of 10 μg· kg-1 · h-1.The equal volume of normal saline was infused in group N.Groups N and DN were exposed to noise of 4 kHz center frequency and 118-122 dB SPL for 120 min starting from 20 min of administration.Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and cochlear blood flow (COBF) were recorded before administration and every 5 min during drug administration.The changing rate of COBF was calculated.Arterial blood samples were collected for determination of plasma concentration of noradrenaline (NE) by high performance liquid chromatography at 20 and 140 min of administration.Auditory brainstem response (ABR) threshold was recorded before administration and at 1 and 72 h and 10 days after the end of administration.Results Compared with group N,MAP was significantly decreased,the changing rate of COBF was increased at 5-10 min and 30-140 min of administration,ABR threshold was decreased at 1 and 72 h and 10 days after the end of administration,and the plasma concentration of NE was decreased at 140 min of administration in D + N group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can attenuate noise-induced hearing loss in guinea pigs possibly through inhibiting activation of sympathetic nerves and increasing COBF.

Effect and safety of repeated embryo aspiration for reduction of muhifetal cervical pregnancy Was retrospectively evaluated.Three women with muhifetal cervical pregnancy successfully received conservative treatment of repeated embryo aspiration under the guidance of transvaginal ultrasound,and the gestational sac contents were aspirated completely.Local(2.5～5.0 mg injectable methotrexate,MTX) or systemic medication was used.Our findings showed that repeated embryo aspiration for reduction of cervical multifetal pregnancy could improve the coupe of disease,decrease systemic medication of MTX,and discontinue a cervical pregnancy within 8 weeks effectively and safely.However,the mminimum therapeutic dose of MTX remained to be explored.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of midazolam on noise-induced hearing loss in guinea pigs by testing reactive oxygen species (ROS) level in the cochlea and plasma SOD and MDA. Methods Totally forty male pigmented guinea pigs were randomly divided into four groups: control (C) , midazolam (M), normal saline (S) and noise-induced deafened (D) groups, with ten guinea pigs in each. Groups M, S and D were exposed to a continuous noise (4kHz , octave band, 100dB SPL) 3h every day for 3 consecutive days. Group M was treated with midazolam, which was administered intramuscularly (0.1mg/kg) 24h before noise exposure, and immediately upon and during noise exposure. Group S was exposed to noise and treated with the same volume of normal saline intramuscularly, the time of injection was the same as that of Group M. Group C was not exposed to noise, but was treated with midazolam intramuscularly, the time of injection and the dosage were the same as those of Group M. Group S was exposed to noise and treated with normal saline intramuscularly ,the time of injection was same with that of Group M.Group D was exposed to noise only. All animals received auditory brainstem response (ABR) threshold recording before and immediately after noise exposure. Blood was collected when the guinea pigs were killed after the last ABR threshold recording, and serum SOD activity and MDA content were detected. Both the cochleae were removed and prepared for ROS assay. Results After noise exposure, ABR threshold shift (1.6±1.5) and ROS content [(291.10±2.30)u/mL] in Group M were significantly lower than those in Groups S and D [41.7±3.3, 44.3±3.9; (348.52±3.60)u/mL, (315.56±6.70)u/mL, P<0.05]. Serum SOD activity and MDA content were significantly increased in Group M, but the amplitude was less than that in Groups S and D.Conclusion Midazolam can prevent noise-induced hearing loss by reducing the increased ROS level in the cochlea after noise exposure.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of primary retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF), and to find out better method for diagnosis and therapy. Methods Nine patients with primary RPF in Peking Union Medical College Hospital since 1990 to 2003 were analyzed retrospectively. Results All patients had abnormal findings in CT or MRI, and 8 of them had chronic non-specific inflammation of the retroperitoneum in pathology. Six patients had renal involvement and 2 of them had severe renal failure. Eight of the patients had received therapy with corticosteroid or tamoxifene. Conclusions RPF is an uncommon collagen vascular disease characterized by a chronic non-specific inflammation of the retroperitoneum.Because of the atypical manifestations of RPF, awareness of the disease is important.CT and (or) open biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosis.Management typically includes surgery and drug treatment.Corticosteroid therapy or more recently,tamoxifen has been used successfully. The clinical and radiographic improvement with drug treatment has been seen in several patients and confirmed the diagnosis,thereby early diagnosis and treatment can bring the patient more excellent renal and general outcome.

AIM To investigate actions of total paeony glycoside(TPG) on learning and memory capacity and related products of metabolism of senile mice induced by D galactose. METHODS The subacute senile mouse models induced by injection of D galactose subcutaneously were used. RESULTS TPG could improve the learning and memory capacity of model mice in shuttle test and enhance spatial resolution in water maze test. TPG not only reduced the content of monoamine oxidase(MAO) and inhibited the decrease of cholinesterase(CHE) significantly, but also lessened the level of malondialdehyde(MDA) and inhibited the decrease of superoxide dismutase(SOD) in cerebrum of model mice. TPG still promoted the recovery of lobar atrophy and hypoimmunity of senile mice remarkedly. CONCLUSION TPG possesses obvious effects of improvement on learning, spatial resolution and delaying senility.
