International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2011;33(11):1006-1008
ObjectiveTo study the missing items in questionnaire cfidentification for TCM constitution.MethodsThe questionnaires were regarded as study objects,which were independently finished by 1322 participants in Changfeng community who were over 45 years and agreed to participate in.The data'was analyzed by SPSS.ResultsMissing items were found in the questionnaires,with a missing rate of 33.74% on an overall basis.No statistic difference was noted between male and female (x2=0.67,P>0.05).The rate of missing items increased as participants' age climbing up to the age of 80,and then decreased.Groups characterized with age and gender showed difference in missing items.89.69% of the incomplete questionnaires had less than 3 missing items,which concentrated in some specific items.ConclusionAttention should be addressed to the fact that missing items were found in questionnaircs of identification for TCM constitution finished independently by residents.

Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1986;0(02):-
AIM: To examine the changes in immune cells which might be involved in systemic immune dysfunction after severe burns, we detected the sequence of expressed sequence tag in lymphocytes and monocytes of F344 rats post-burn. METHODS: Two pairs of primers were designed depending on the sequence of AI764697.1. SMART RACE technology was employed for amplification of whole sequence. Furthermore, the amplified sequence was testified by Northern blot. RESULTS: A 592bp sequence, which was testified by Northern blot, was suceessfally obtained in our experiments. This product was accepted by GenBank and its accession number is AF244895. CONCLUSION: A cDNA whole sequence in immune cells of F344 rats after severe burns was amplified successfully. More research work should be done to identify the resource, location in genome and function of this product.

5. Expression of angiopoietin-related growth factor in obese patients and its significance
Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2011;32(1):37-39
Objective: To investigate the expression of angiopoietin-related growth factor (AGF) in obese patients and its relationship with body mass index(BMI), waist circumference(WC), waist-hip ratio(WHR), blood glucose(FBG), plasma insulin(FINS) levels, and HOMA-insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR). Methods: Plasma AGF levels were assayed by ELISA in 40 patients with obesity and 40 normal controls. The relationship of AGF level with BMI, WC, WHR, HbA 1c, blood lipids, FBG, FINS, and HOMA-IR was also analyzed. Results: AGF levels in patients with obesity were significantly increased compared with that in the control group ([177.55±74.09] ng/ml vs [122.37±66.91] ng/ml, P<0.05). We also found that AGF level was positively correlated with Triglyceride(TG), FINS and HOMA-IR(r=0.325, P<0.05; r = 0.451, P<0.01; r = 0.483, P<0.01); and was negatively correlated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL, r= -0.529, P<0.01). Multiple regression analysis showed that HDL, BMI and FINS were the factors influencing AGF levels. Binomial Logistic regression analysis indicated that AGF level was positively correlated with obesity after adjusting sex, age, total cholesterol (TC), TG, HDL and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) (OR>1). Conclusion: The change of AGF level is associated with the metabolism disorder in obese patients, and it may also contribute to the pathogenesis of obesity.

Effects of salviae miltiorrhizae (SM) and SOD on serum and tissue (liver, intestine) lipid peroxidation were studied on rabbits in reperfusion after hemor rhage shock.The results showed that both SM and SOD could effectively reduce the serum MDA,while the inhibitory effect of SM on tissue (intestine) lipid Peroxidation was more significant than that of SOD.90 min after shock,18 rabbits were equally divided into 3 groups,one third of shed blood was re-infused and simultaneously teperfused with balanced salt solution (BSS) (group A), SOD in BSS (group B) and SM in BSS (group C). After reperfusion, serum MDA increased significantly in group A, while serum in MDA in group B and C decreased gradually and was significantly lower than that of group A after reperfusion of 3 hr (I3). Intestine MDA in group C was evidently lower than that in group A (P

Objective To explore the related factors about acute stress responses of the military freshmen,then built a path model among self-efficacy,social support,coping style,state-trait anxiety and acute stress responses.Methods 584 students were tested by General Self-efficacy Scale (GSES),Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS),Coping Styles Questionnaire,State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and Acute Stress Response Scale ( ASP S).Results ①The military freshmen in each factor of acute stress response got a lower score,especially the mean score of the changes of cognition was higher (0.21 ±0.21 ),compared with the other factors,and the changes of pathology (0.053 ±0.114) was lower.②There were significant correlations between self-efficacy,social support,positive coping,negative coping,state anxiety,trait anxiety and acute stress responses (P < 0.01 ).③ Negative coping( r=0.130),trait anxiety(r=0.005) and state anxiety(r=0.002) influenced ASR directly,meanwhile,self-efficacy( r =-1.292) influenced ASR through the state anxiety indirectly,self-efficacy ( r=-7.465 ) and social support ( r =-0.294) influenced ASR indirectly through trait anxiety.Conclusion Acute stress responses of the military freshmen were directly influenced by negative coping and state-trait anxiety,and negative coping style was the main reason.

Chinese Journal of General Practitioners 2012;11(3):217-218
The status of anesthesia and psychotropic substances use for cancer pain control was analyzed in 355 cancer patients in Huanggu District of Shenyang City.The results revealed that patients aged 60 and above accounted for 62.8% of the total; the 5 leading diseases were lung cancer ( 132 cases,37.2% ),colorectal cancer (34 cases,9.6% ),liver cancer (33 cases,9.3% ),stomach cancer ( 31cases,8.7% ) and pancreatic cancer (20 cases,5.6% ).There was no significant difference in constituent ratio of disease categories in the last 4 years ( x2 =18.75,P > 0.05 ).The daily oral dose of morphine sulphate was 60 - 200 mg with an effective rate of 91.5% (325/355). The side effects including constipation,nausea,vomiting and itching can be effectively reduced by prophylactic medication.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and adverse reactions of omeprazole and pantoprazole in the treatment of patients with peptic ulcer bleeding. Methods: Totally 362 cases of peptic ulcer bleeding were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group with 181 ones in each. The control group was treated by omeprazole 40mg in 0. 9% sodium chloride injection 100ml, ivd, bid, and the observation group was given pantoprazole 80mg in 0. 9% sodium chloride injection 100ml, ivd, bid. The treatment course was 3-6 days. The times of vomiting and melena, bleeding situation and bleeding stopping time in the two groups were observed and recorded, and the clinical efficacy, adverse drug reactions during the treatment and the expense of the two groups were also compared. Results:The bleeding amount on the first and third day in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0. 05), the average bleeding stopping time and the average times of black stools and vomiting in the observation group were also significantly lower than those in the control group(P < 0. 05). The effective rate of the observation group was 92. 27%, that of the control group was 90. 61%, and the difference was not statistically significant (P >0. 05). The average daily cost of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P <0. 05). The difference in the incidence of adverse drug reactions of the two groups was not statistically significant (P > 0. 05). Conclusion:The efficacy of omeprazole and pantoprazole in the treatment of peptic ulcer bleeding was similar with high security. However, pantoprazole may reduce the times of vomiting and melena, shorten the bleeding time and decrease the treatment cost.
