Objective: To examine the relationship between self-inconsistency, alexithymia and Obsessions-Compulsions in neurotic patients and normal control.Methods: 59 patients and 54 control completed The Vancouver Obsessional Compulsive Inventory (VOCI), Self Consistency and Congruence Scale (SCCS), Toronto alexithymia scale (TAS-26), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS). Results: 1) The difference of VOCI total score among patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety/depression (A/D), and control was significant(111.2?36.0、57.0?33.0、39.4?22.5,F=35.46,P

Substantial evidence supports the relationship between chronic inflammation and cancer development. Numerous studies suggest that chronic inflammatory disease, such as periodontitis, contributes to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma development. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common malignant tumor in the oral and maxillofacial regions. Porphyromonas gingivalis, one of the most important pathogens in association with periodontal disease, might have a potential correlation with OSCC. Along with the development of molecular biological techniques, the association between Porphyromonas gingivalis and OSCC has been greatly emphasized in recent years. This review summarizes the association between these variables and the potential mechanisms involved in such relationship.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of budesonide nebulization in treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and ventilator-associated pneumonia. MethodsA total of 49 cases with COPD and VAP was randomly divided into two groups:the control group consisted of 24 patients received salbutamol nebulization on the routine treatment.The observe group consisted of 25 patients received budesonide plus salbutamol bulization on the routine treatment.Variables such as TNF-αt and IL-8 in the bronchial alveolar lavage fluid(BALF),and efficacy of pneumonia and clinical healing rate were observed. ResultsThe levels of TNF-α and IL-8 in BALF of the observe group were significantly lower than those in the control group after 72h(all P＜0.05).The days of symptoms,signs and bedside chest X-ray improved,off-machine time,extubation time and the days of inpatient were statistically shorter in observe group compared with the control group(all P＜0.05).But the clinical cure rate of the observe group was no significant improvement. ConclusionThe nebulization of budesonide could suppress the local pulmonary inflammation and reduce the time of machine ventilation and improve prognosis in COPD patients with VAP.

"Microbiology"(color edition),with Prof.Shen Ping and Prof.Chen Xiangdong of Wuhan Uni-versity as the Chief Editors,is the first 4-color microbiological teaching material in China and has been co-edited by a lot of experts in microbiological field.Besides the introduction of fundamental knowledge,it’s also a book full of creativity and inspiration,furthermore,it combines theory with practice systematically,all of which contribute much to the development of the ability of self-study and creativity for students.A large quantity of delicate illustrations enriches the book extraordinarily.

As a significant treatment for tumors, radiotherapy is often considered a local therapy.However, an increasing number of researches indicate that reasonable radiation dose schedules can improve the tumor environment, induce immunogenic tumor cell death, provide in situ vaccine, and stimulate systemic antitumor effect.Meanwhile, immunotherapy can enhance the effect induced by radiotherapy, which has been proved in preclinical studies and is widely investigated in clinical studies.This review focuses on the immune response and mechanisms of radiotherapy, and advances in the application of radiotherapy in combination with immunotherapy.

The surgical intervention and criteria of severe acute pancreatitis has significantly changed in the last several years with the advent of enhanced imaging techniques and minimally invasive surgery.Many kinds of minimally invasive technologies which take laparoscopy as a representative are constantly applied to the treatment of severe acute pancreatitis and make its mortality and postoperative complication rate decrease obviously.However,there are many different ways using laparoscopic techniques to treat severe acute pancreatitis.In this review,the author will discuss the current status of the different approaches.

For the past few years,lumbar sagittal curvature is increasingly recognized as a critical parameter in spine surgery.It has become evident that good clinical outcome in the spine surgery requires proper lumbar sagittal curvature.With the development of recognization of lumbar sagittal curvature,many new ways and views have been found in measure and recovery sagittal alignments.The purpose of this manuscript is to provide a review of the past year's published literature involving lumbar sagittal curvature.
