Objective To explore the relationship of suicide ideation, depression and meaning in life as well as the effect of meaning in life between depression and suicide ideation.Methods Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation(BSI-CV) , Purpose in Life test (PIL) and Self-Rating Depression scale (DSD) were employed to investigate 1 688 freshmen.Results Suicide ideation had significant positive correlation with depression(r=0.326, P＜0.01;r=0.3, P＜0.01) ,while it had significant negative correlation with meaning in life(r=-0.34, P＜0.01;r=-0.37, P＜0.01).Depression of freshmen with suicide ideation was higher than ones without((48.04±8.13) vs (44.56±7.12), P＜0.01), and meaning in life of freshmen with suicide ideation was lower than ones without ((98.39±12.68) vs (105.78± 11.76), P＜0.01).Meaning in life partially mediated the relationship between depression and suicide ideation.Conclusion Suicide ideation of college freshmen are related to depression and meaning in life, and meaning in life can partially mediated the relationship between depression and suicide ideation.

Objective To explore the effect of the mutant and expression level of N-ras on chronic myelogenous leukemia. Method We investigated the mutant by direct sequencing in a K562 human chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line, with determination of the expression level of N-ras mRNA in K562 by RT-PCR. Result No single point mutation was detected in K562 cell line, furthermore, the expression level of N-ras gene is abnormaly high in contrast to normal human. Conclusion Our results indicated that the expression level of N-ras gene was obviously high in K562 cell line, and the underlying mechanism was not only mutation, so that further investigation is called for.

OBJECTIVEThis study aimed to analyze the bone anatomy of edentulous sites in the posterior maxillary by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).

METHODSA total of 100 CBCT radiographs from patients with missing maxillary posterior teeth were obtained, resulting in a sample size of 217 edentulous sites. The width and height of edentulous were assessed by three-dimensional reconstruction. In addition, the angle A and morphology of the maxillary sinus walls were evaluated.

RESULTSThe mean bone height was 9.53 mm, and the percentage of sites than 10 mm was 62.67% (136/217). The mean bone width was 9.30 mm, and the percentage of sites more than 6 mm was 91.71% (199/217). The bone height decreased from premolar to molar areas, but the opposite trend was observed in bone width. Regarding the morphology of the sinus floor, 64.52% exhibited an oblique configuration. In angle A, the group of less than 30° was 10.14%, 30°-60° was 42.40%, and greater than 60° was 47.47%.

CONCLUSIONA high percentage of edentulous sites in the posterior maxillary requires sinus floor elevation to allow the placement of dental implants. Thus, the use of CBCT scans is recommended to evaluate the anatomical structure of the maxillary sinus for reasonable implant planning.

Objective To evaluate whether there is a correlation among plasma levels of procalcitonin (PCT),N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP)and cardiac troponin T (cTnT)in patients with sepsis,as well as significance to prognosis of patients.Methods 48 patients with sepsis who were admitted to the intensive care unit of a hospital between September 2014 and March 2015 were chosen for study,patients were divided into severe and mild sepsis groups according to the disease condition,plasma levels of PCT,NT-pro-BNP,and cTnT were de-tected,mortality of patients were analyzed statistically,relation between plasma levels of PCT,NT-pro-BNP,cT-nT and patients’death were compared.Results The plasma levels of PCT,NT-pro-BNP and cTnT in severe sepsis group were significantly higher than those in mild sepsis group (all P <0.05);mortality of mild sepsis group was significantly lower than that of severe sepsis group (10.53% vs 41.38%,P <0.05);Levels of PCT,NT-pro-BNP and cTnT levels in died patients were all higher than surviving patients (all P <0.05);levels of PCT and NT-pro-BNP,NT-pro-BNP and cTnT were positively correlated respectively (rs = 0.337,P <0.05;rs =0.456,P =0.001, respectively ),while PCT was not significantly correlated with cTnT.Plasma levels of PCT,NT-pro-BNP,and cTnT were all correlated with the prognosis of patients (P <0.05),and is helpful for judging the prognosis of pa-tients,combination of three indexes had better prognostic value for the prognosis.Conclusion Combination detec-tion of plasmid levels of PCT,NP-pro-BNP,and cTnT can assess the severity of infection in patients with sepsis, and preliminarily judge the prognosis of patients with sepsis.

BACKGROUND: Previous studies showed that the prevalence and extent of carotid artery stenosis increased with thedevelopment of coronary artery disease. There was a higher incidence of intracranial small-vessel disease, but lower of carotid artery disease in the Chinese stroke patients as compared with the white.OBJ ECTIVE: To observe the distribution of carotid and intracranial artery stenosis in patients with 3-vessel coronary artery disease.DESIGN: An observational study.SETTING: Department of Neurology; Heart Center, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University.PARTICIPANTS: From August 2003 to August 2004, The coronary angiography was performed in the outpatients and inpatients suspected to be coronary arteriosclerotic cardiopathy in the Department of Neurology, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, and 126 patients of them with 3-vessel diseases were examined with carotid arteriography, including 56 males and 70 females, 47-76 years of age. Informed contents were obtained from all the participants.METHODS: Digital substraction angiography (DSA) was performed immediately after coronary angiography in the 126patients. All catheterizations were performed through a transfemoral approach using the Seldinger technique, and thenan appropriate amount of nonionic Ominipaque was injected. The angiography of bilateral carotid arteries, subclavian artery, or vertebral artery was taken from different angles. The percentage of stenosis was calculated directly from DSAmachine. Evaluative standards: Based on the stenosis degree from carotid angiography results, the patients were divided into 5 categories as normal, mild stenosis, moderate stenosis, severe stenosis and complete occlusion.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Severity of carotid stenosis.RESULTS: All the 126 patients were involved in the final analysis of results. There were 13 (10.32%), 18 (14.29%), 12(9.5%), or 10 (7.9%) patients found to have mild, moderate, severe carotid stenosis, or complete occlusion, and the incidences of these changes were fairly similar. However, the incidence of angiographic carotid stenosis coupled with 3-vessel carotid artery disease was 42.06%.CONCLUSION: The prevalence of carotid stenosis in patients with 3-vessel carotid artery disease was as high in the Chinese population as that in Westem countries. In patients with 3-vessel disease, the prevalence of carotid stenosis was higher than that of intracranial artery stenosis, thus they may require both coronary and carotid interventions.

Objective To study the plasma metabolomics features of SD rats with wei-qi deficiency respectively in spring, summer, autumn and winter; To seek the potential markers related to wei-qi deficiency; To discuss the essence of wei-qi deficiency.MethodsTwenty male SD rats were adaptively fed 7 days before Chinese Vernal Equinox Day, Summer Solstice, Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice, synchronous controled with temporal condition. The rats were randomly divided into experimental and control groups according to random number method. Rats in the experimental groupwere made into wei-qi deficiency models through fatigue stimulation alternately with cold and heat stimulation. Blood was collected at 12:00 each solar term. High performance liquid chromatography- mass spectrometry instrument was used to detect plasma metabolites. Partial least squates-discriminant analysis was used to process statistical analysis of the data to compared the original data of plasma metabolomics between the two groups of each season, and explore the difference metabolic markers between each two groups, then speculate the potential biomakers of wei-qi differency.ResultsWith the changes of spring, summer, autumn and winter, significant differences were showed in metabolic profile between the experimental and control groups. Homocysteine showed a significant difference in spring, summer and autumn; Ceramide showed a significant difference in summer and winter; Testosterone showed a significant difference in spring and summer; Cyclic guanosine monophosphate showed a significant difference in autumn and winter; Sarcosine showed a significant difference in spring, summer and winter. The physiological functions of these substances related to lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism, neurotransmitter and hormone regulation.ConclusionPotential biomakers of wei-qi deficiency changed along with the seasonal variation, which mainly reflected in lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism, neurotransmitter and hormone regulation.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effects of oral placement therapy (OPT) on managing sialorrhea after stroke.Methods A total of 37 stroke inpatients with sialorrhea were enrolled from January 2011 to September 2013 in the authors' department for the study and divided into 2 group on the basis of the time of enrollment.The control group (n =18) received 30min of routine treatment (including such neuromuscular facilitation techniques as Bobath and Rood techniques,motor relearning program,neuromuscular electrical stimulation and ice stimulation),twice daily,and the treatment group (n =19) received 15 min of routine treatment plus 15 min of OPT,twice daily.Frenchay Dysarthria Assessment was used to evaluate the sialorrhea severity and clinical efficacy before and 1,2 and 4 weeks after initiation of treatment.Results Sialorrhea symptom was significantly improved in treatment group after 1 week (P ＜ 0.05),while no significant improvement was observed in control group (P ＞ 0.05).After 2 and 4 weeks of treatments,significant improvements of sialorrhea were noted in both groups.After 1,2 and 4weeks of treatment,the total effective rate were 63.16％,94.74％ and 94.74％,respectively,in the treatment group,versus 5.88％,61.11％ and 61.11％,respectively,in the control group.The total effective rate of the treatment group were significantly higher in the above three time-points than the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Oral placement therapy can improve sialorrhea symptom after stroke more effectively than routine treatment.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect and prevention of different artificial tears in dry eye after cataract phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation. Methods Totally 57 patients (57 eyes) with dry eye after phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation who were diagnosed with cataract in the Department of Ophthalmology in our hospital from October 2016 to October 2017 were randomly divided into 3 groups including sodium hyaluronate group, polyethylene glycol group and control group. All patients underwent phacoemulsi-fication combined with intraocular lens implantation. The control group was given conventional treatment after surgery. The other two groups were given sodium hyaluronate eye drops and polyethylene glycol eye drops on the basis of conventional treatment respectively. The dry eye symptom score, tear film rupture time, Schirmer I test, corneal fluorescein staining score before surgery, at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after surgery were observed. The therapeutic effect was evaluated. Results In the three groups, the dry eye symptom score and corneal fluorescein staining score after surgery was lower than that before surgery, and the tear film rupture time and Schirmer I test after surgery increased compared with that before surgery. There was significant difference in the recovery of dry eye between the two groups and the control group, of which the sodium hyaluronate group recovered most significantly. Conclusion Cataract pha-coemulsification has an effect on the stability of tear film, which leads to postoperative dry eye. Artificial tear can be used for prevention and treatment. Sodium hyaluronate eye drops are more effective and worthy of clinical application.
