Journal of China Medical University 2015;44(8):742-745
Objective To observe the effects of mirtazapine to improve the life quality of malignant tumor patients with moderate or severe depres-sion. Methods Patients with mood disorders screened by the physician were then graded by the Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD)under the tu-telage of ward psychological consultant. Fifty patients with moderate or severe depression were selected by psychological doctors and recruited for the study. After obtaining consent,the patients received 15-60 mg/d mirtazapine every night for 9 weeks. According to the Quality of Life Rating Scale (QOL),the scores of these patients were evaluated at the pretreatment,the 3rd week and the 9th week of the post-treatment. Then,the life quality conditions before and after treatment were revaluated. Results The scores of HAMD were 33.16±7.25,28.74±6.24,and 22.58±6.71 at the pretreat-ment,the 3rd week and the 9th week of the post-treatment,respectively. There were significantly different among the HAMD scores at the pretreat-ment,the 3rd week and the 9th week of the post-treatment.(F=30.99,P<0.01). The scores of HAMD were improved significantly between the pre-treatment and the 3rd week of the post-treatment(P<0.05). The scores of HAMD were also improved significantly between the 3rd week and the 9th week of the post-treatment(P<0.05). After treatment by mirtazapine,the appetite,spirit,sleep,fatigue,pain,the reorganization of cancer,the attitude towards treatment,the side effect of treatment and the facial expression were significantly improved(P<0.01).

Objective:To investigate if downregulation of two mitotic checkpoint proteins, MAD2 and p55CDC, is a frequent event in human prostate cancer and whether decreased expression of these two proteins are associated with progression of prostate cancer. Methods: Using immunohistochemistry technique, the expressions of MAD2 and p55CDC proteins are examined in 46 benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and 65 prostate cancer tissues. Differential expressions were compared first between BPH and prostate cancer specimens, and then among prostate cancer samples with different Gleason grades. Results: We found that down regulation of MAD2 and p55CDC expressions was significant in prostate cancer (96% and 83%, respectively) compared to BPH (19.5% and 4.3%, respectively) ( P

Objective To develope energic spectrum of super-large solar particle events (SPE),human body model and a Monte Carlo method for estimating the organ dose of astronauts in SPE without the shielding of geomagnetic field. Methods A voxel-based human phantom and shielding model of spacecraft were developed and the Monte Carlo program was compiled and applied to calculate the doses of astronaut's organs with the transport protons of the spectra of super-large SPEs in 1956 and 1972, normalized by the proton fluence for energy greater than 30 MeV. Results The Monte Carlo program was developed successfully and the organ dose under different shielding thickness were also calculated with the program in the normalized spectra of SPEs in 1956 and 1972 without the effects of geomagnetic field. They were similar with prior studies. Conclusion The results are reliable by the comparison with other calculations of prior researchers. Exposure to super-large SPE without the shielding of geomagnetic field would result in a very large organ absorbed dose and may be very danger for manned spaceflight.

BACKGROUND: Nestin is a specific antigen of neural stem cells which widely expressed in lesion of nervous system and brain regeneration.Thus,nestin expression is commonly used to assess whether lesion or damage of the nervous system can promote neural regeneration.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of erythropoietin(EPO)on nestin expression in neural stem cells after hypoxia-ischemia brain damage(HIBD)in neonatal rats from the angles of neural regeneration and activation of neural stem cells.METHODS: HIBD model was established by ligation of the right common carotid artery along with 2-hour 8% hypoxia exposure in neonatal rats.The control group was not subjected to hypoxia-ischemia,and the right common carotid artery was dissociated.The treatment group received an intraperitoneal injection of recombinant human erythropoietin(rh-Epo,5 000 IU/kg)once a day for three days after hypoxia/ischemia,while the two other groups intraperitoneally received normal saline at the same time.In each group,rats were randomly executed immediately,at 4,7,14 days after operation(n = 8).The nestin expression in hippocampal dentate gyrus region was examined by immunohistochemical staining and image quantitative analysis respectively.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The number of nestin-positive cells was significantly increased in HIBD group compared to control group at all time points(P < 0.05),and it was also significantly increased in treatment group than the other two groups at all time points(P < 0.05).The numbers of nestin-positive cells in hippocampal dentate gyrus region were significantly increased,and peaked on day 7 after operation in the three groups.The results showed that exogenous rh-Epo could enhance the expression of nestin in hippocampal dentate gyrus region of neonatal rats with HIBD,and promote the proliferation of neural stem cells,rh-Epo plays an important role in the regeneration and repair of neurocytes damaged by hypoxia-ischemia.
