ObjectiveTo investigate sleep disorder of patients with depression and find out the regularity.Methods78 depression cases in the east-region of Shenyang were evaluated by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire and mental health symptom checklist-90 (SCL-90). The results were contrasted with normal control group.Results63 depression cases (80%) had sleep disorder (PSQI scores≥8) and were significantly higher than normal control group. The PSQI evaluation showed that sleep quality, enter-sleep time, sleep efficiency, sleep disorder, hypnotige drugs, function of daytime and total scores of PSQI of the depression group were significantly higher than that of normal control group (P<0.05～0.01). The SCL-90 test showed that scores of somatic, obsessive, depressive, anxiety, phobia, paranoid and mental-illness, etc. and total quota of bad-sleep quality group were significantly higher than that of the fine-sleep quality group (P<0.05～0.01).ConclusionDepression patients have significantly descent in sleep quality, latter is often closely related to the mental psychotic expressiveness of somatic, obsession, depression, anxiety, phobia, etc.

BackgroundOur previous study determined that tetrandrine (Tet) has an inhibitory effect on the proliferation of human Tenon capsule fibroblasts ( TCFs ) in vitro,but its mechanism is poorly understood.ObjectiveThis study was to investigate the effect mechanism of Tet on human TCFs.MethodsHuman TCFs were isolated and cultured from scleral tissue of donor using explant technique.The cells were identified by vimentin antibody staining and morphology.The third generation of cells were seeded in the culture plate at the density of 1 × 105 cells/ml.Twenty-four hours after inoculation,the Tet of 1 × 10-5 mol/L was added in the well of culture plate,and the cells cultured only in 1640 medium served as the control group.The apoptosis of the cells was assessed by TUNEL,and the expressions of bax,bel-2,transforming growth factor-β2 (TGF-β2 ) in TCFs were detected using immunochemistry.Results The cultured cells showed the features of the fibroblasts in shape with the positive response for vimentin.A number of TUNEL positive cells were seen in Tet group and no TUNEL positive response was found in control group.The expression levels (A value) of bax,bcl-2 and TGF-~ protein in TCFs were 0.577 ± 0.009,0.430±0.012 and 0.341 ±0.017 in Tet group,and those in control group were 0.320±0.015,0.819±0.021 and 0.624±0.014 respectively,showing statistically significant differences between two groups( t =33.277,-35.356,-28.093,P＜0.01 ).Conclusions Tet suppresses the proliferation of human TCFs through up-regulating the expression of bax and down-regulating the expressions of bcl-2 and TGF-β2 in vitro.

Objective To investigate the frequency of NPM1 mutation and its clinical significance in patients with cytogenetically normal acute myeloid leukemia (CN-AML). Methods The data of 190 patients with CN-AML were collected from Department of Hematology, Tongji Hospital between January 2008 and June 2015, and the discrepancies in clinical features and efficacy between CN-AML patients with NPM1 mutation and those without NPM1 mutation were also analyzed. Results Among the 190 CN-AML patients, NPM1 mutation was found in 44 patients (23.16 %). The proportion of bone marrow blast cells and the count of peripheral white blood cells in patients with NPM1 mutation were higher than those in patients without NPM1 mutation (75.82 % vs. 63.87 % , P <0.05; 75.7 ×109/L vs. 60.0 ×109/L, P <0.05). The rate of response (complete remission + partial remission) in patients with NPM1 mutation was also higher than that in patients without NPM1 mutation [70.09 %(22/31) vs. 56.91 %(45/79), P<0.05) ]. Conclusion NPM1 mutation is associated with higher tumor burden and higher remission rate in CN-AML patients.

Matrix isopotential synchronous fluorescence spectrometric (MISF) method combined with derivative technique has been proposed to determine two spectrally-badly-overlapped anthracene derivatives, 1-chloroanthracene and 9-bromoanthracene,simultaneously. An optimal scanning route of MISF spectra was chosen. By using the novel method, 1-chloroanthracene and 9-bromoanthracene have been determined directly and simultaneously without tedious pre-separation in its mixture.The recoveries of 1-chloroanthracene and 9-bromoanthracene for the analysis are 83.5％～94% and 90.0%～94.0% respectively and their limits of detection are 0.69μg/L and 10μg/L respectively.

Objective To observe the influence of early motor cardiac rehabilitation on the life quality of acute myocardial infarction patients. Methods 30 acute myocardial infarction patients underwent percutaneous transluminal coronary intervention (PCI) were randomly divided into rehabilitative group and control group which consist of 15 patients. The rehabilitative group received the individual sports programme and health education in addition to conventional treatment and nursing. The control group was just treated by traditional way. Barthel index was used to evaluate the self-care ability and life quality. Results The rehabilitative group had significantly higher self-care ability compared with control group after 30 days' treatment[(85.48 ±6.77)points vs (69.35 ±6.46)points] (P＜0.05).The rehabilitative group could care by themselves and carry on the light physical activity. In addition, heart rehabilitatione frequency was the favorable factor for improving the life quality of acute myocardial infarction patients.Conclusion Early motor cardiac rehabilitation could effectively improve the life quality of acute myocardial infarction patients which had a wide clinical application.

Objective:To define impact of spontaneous TIMI-3 flow before angioplasty on outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention strategy and the prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI ). Methods: The consecutive 301 patients enrolled in the ongoing register of emergent coronary angioplasty within 12 hours from symptoms who were diagnosed as having ST elevation AMI in our hospital from 2000 to 2006 were analyzed, they were followed up for one year and the clinical characteristics and survival rates were analysed. Results: Among the 301 patients enrolled in the ongoing register of emergent coronary angioplasty, spontaneous reperfusion (TIMI-3 flow) was present in 14.6% at initial angiography. Compared with patients without TIMI-3 flow, those with TIMI-3 flow before coronary intervention were less likely to present in new-onset heart failure(2.3% versus 16%, P=0.016), Patients with initial TIMI-3 flow had significantly lower 30-day mortality (0% versus 9.3%, P=0.035) , and cardiogenic shock (0%versus 8.6%, P=0.044) and had a shorter hospital stay (P=0.008). Cumulative 1-year mortality was 0% in patients with initial TIMI-3 flow, 11.3% with TIMI 0-2 flow (P=0.019). By COX regression analysis, postprocendural TIMI-3 flow was an independent determinant of survival (OR=0.285,P=0.004) , however,TIMI-3 flow before coronary intervention was not found as an independent determinant of survival significantly. The lenitive symptoms and current smoking were the independent determinants of TIMI-3 flow before coronary intervention (P=0.005, P=0.048, respectively).Conclusion: Patients undergoing primary percutaneous transluminal coronary intervention in whom TIMI-3 flow is present before angioplasty may present with greater clinical and angiographic evidence of myocardial salvage, be less likely to develop complications related to left ventricular failure, and improve early and late survival.
