Objective To study the effect of behavioral therapy combined with Paroxetine in the treatment of overactive bladder accompanied by depression and anxiety.Methods Over the past two years,a total of 69 cases of patients with overactive bladder accompanied by depression and anxiety were diagnosed by outpatient,they were divided into experimental group (n=33)and control group(n=36).The experimental group were given behavior therapy and Paroxetine in the treatment of anxiety,depression,while the control group were given behavior therapy.Then the overactive bladder symptom score(OABSS),urgency score,SDS,SAS score before and after treatment of the two groups of patients were statistically analyzed.Results (1)The OABSS score ((3.30± 1.01) vs (7.51 ± 0.69)),urgency score((2.60±0.51) vs (3.93±0.69)),SDS score((43.1±6.2) vs (66.4±4.7)) and SAS score ((41.9±0.6) vs (61.4±3.9)) decreased after treatment of the experimental group.There were statistically significant compared with before treatment(t=17.8773,8.9045,17.2039,16.0273,all P＜0.01).(2) The OABSS score,urgency score decreased after treatment of the control group.There were statistically significant compared with before treatment (t=6.1926,6.3483;both P＜0.01).SDS,SAS score before and after treatment of the control group were not statistically significant (t=1.3105,0.5852,bothP＞0.05) (3) The OABSS score,urgency score,of the experimental group were more depressed than the control group,which were statistically significant (t =3.3830,3.6391,both P＜0.01).Conclusion For overactive bladder patients with anxiety and depression,behavioral therapy combined with Paroxetine is better than behavioral therapy alone.

BACKGROUND: Results from clinical trials suggested that clopidogrel and ticlopidine had side effects of granulopenia, and aspirin could inhibit endothelial progenitor cell proliferation. There is no report of effects of these drugs on human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) in stem cell transplantation. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of antiplatelet drugs including clopidogrel, ticlopidine and aspirin on hBMSC proliferation and secretion. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The cytology in vitro observation was performed at the Laboratory of Toxicology, Shanghai Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention from March to December 2006.MATERIALS: The second passage of hBMSCs was kindly donated from Shanghai Tissue Engineering Research & Development Center, Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital. Clopidogrel (Lot number J20040006) and ticlopidine (Lot number H19980186) were obtained from Hangzhou Sanofi-Synthelabo Minsheng Pharmaceutical CO., Ltd. Aspirin (Lot number 20050059) was obtained from Bayer Vital GmbH. METHODS: The standard culture medium consisted of DMEM-LG, 10% heat-inactivated FBS, 100 U/mL penicillin and 100 μg/mL streptomycin. After being cultured in vitro expanded out to passage 6, hBMSCs were treated with antiplatelet drugs of different concentrations and compared with control group. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Cell proliferation was assessed by 3- (4, 5-dimethylthiazol -2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) colorimetric assay, level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) of culture medium was detected by enzyme-linked immunoadsordent assay (ELISA), and surface antigens of hBMSCs were analyzed by the flow cytometry. RESULTS: A570 values of hBMSCs treated by clopidogrel or ticlopidine of 0.02,0.1,0.4,2,10,40 μmol/L were higher than control group (P < 0.01), while A570 values of aspirin group of 60, 600, 2 000 μmol/L were lower than control group(P < 0.05). Antiplatelet drugs had no obvious effect on cell surface antigens(CD34, CD105, CD106)expressed by hBMSCs. Treated by high dose clopidogrel or ticlopidine (40 μmol/L), VEGF level from hMSCs was lower than that of control group(P < 0.01), but VEGF level of low dose (0.02 μmol/L) ticlopidine group was higher than control group(P < 0.01), and there was no significantly difference of VEGF level among low dose clopidogrel group (0.02 μmol/L), aspirin group (5, 2 000 μmol/L), and control group(P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Clopidogrel and ticlopidine improve proliferation of hBMSCs, but aspirin inhibits proliferation of hBMSCs. High dose of clopidogrel and ticlopidine suppress VEGF secretion of hBMSCs, while low dose of ticlopidine promote it. Antiplatelet drugs have no obvious effect on hBMSCs differentiation.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum uric acid level and atrial fibrillation in patients with coronary heart disease.Methods Two hundred and forty-seven inpatients with coronary heart disease were selected.All the patients were divided into simple coronary heart disease group (90 cases),coronary heart disease with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation group (85 cases) and coronary heart disease with continuous/permanent atrial fibrillation group (72 cases).The age,history of cardiovascular events,uric acid,echocardiographic characteristics and drug-taking history were carefully recorded.The risk factors of atrial fibrillation in patients with coronary heart disease were analyzed by Logistic regression.Results The level of history of smoking,diastolic blood pressure,body mass index,total cholesterol,high density lipoprotein cholesterol,low density lipoprotein cholesterol,creatinine,fasting plasma glucose,postprandial 2 h plasma glucose,interventricular septal thickness,carotid intima-media thickness and drug-taking history among the 3 groups showed no statistical differences (P ＞ 0.05).The age,systolic blood pressure,uric acid,left atrial diameter (LAD),left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD) in coronary heart disease with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation group and coronary heart disease with continuous/permanent atrial fibrillation group were significantly higher than those in simple coronary heart disease group,the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was significantly lower than that in simple coronary heart disease group,and there were statistical differences (P ＜ 0.01 or ＜ 0.05).The result of Logistic regression analysis showed high uric acid,high age,expanded LAD and LVEDD were the independent risk factors of atrial fibrillation in patients with coronary heart disease,and uric acid showed the most significant correlation (P =0.001,OR =1.061,95％ CI 1.026-1.096).Conclusion High serum uric acid level maybe a risk factor of atrial fibrillation in patients with coronary heart disease.

Objective:To observe the therapeutic effect and safety of warfarin on patients with atrial fibrillation. Methods:A total of 126 patients with atrial fibrillation from our hospital during Jun 2012-Jun 2013 were selected. According to hiding number random method,they were divided into aspirin group (n=63)and warfarin group (n=63).Coagulation function,blood lipid levels and end-point events were compared between two groups.Results:Compared with aspirin group,after treatment,there were significant reductions in levels of total cholesterol [(5.8 ±0.5)mmol/L vs.(5.2±0.7)mmol/L],triglyceride [(2.6±0.4)mmol/L vs.(2.4±0.3)mmol/L]and low density lipoprotein cholesterol [(2.7±0.5)mmol/L vs.(2.4±0.3)mmol/L],significant rise in level of high den-sity lipoprotein cholesterol [(1.1±0.2)mmol/L vs.(1.3±0.2)mmol/L],prothrombin time [(28.3±11.7)s vs. (36.9±10.4)s]and it′s international normalized ratio [(1.9±0.4)vs.(2.4±0.5)]in warfarin group,P <0.05 all.Incidence rate of endpoint events such as cerebral infarction and peripheral artery embolism etc.in warfarin group was significantly lower than that of aspirin group (3.17% vs.23.81%,P <0.01).The incidence rates of complications were 23.81% and 26.98% in warfarin group and aspirin group respectively,and they had no signifi-cant difference,P >0.05. Conclusion:For atrial fibrillation,the therapeutic effect and safety of warfarin is better than that of aspirin,is worth extending.

Objective To compare the perinipple round-block technique with the conventional periareolar round-block technique in areolar reduction operations.Methods A total of 37 patients who underwent areolar reduction operations in our department were randomly allocated into two groups:Group A (19 patients) received a conventional periareolar round-block technique,while group B (18 patients) through a new perinipple round-block technique.In the latter approach,an intraareolar donut of pigmented skin was deepithelialized,and the exposed areolar dermis was then telescoped inward and stretch-anchored to an imaginary circular line situated beneath the breast skin areola junction.The roundblock technique was then utilized to approximate the skin edges,resulting in a minimal scar,totally inconspicuous,confined to the immediate perinipple area.The operative time,perioperative complications,scars,absorption time of the skin folds,the sensation of the nipple-areolar complex and the patients' satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results The mean operative time of group A and group B was 40.5 min and 45.8 min,respectively (P＜0.05).No perioperative complications were found in these two groups.No patient had experienced permanent nipple sensory changes.The skin folds absorption time of group A was 4.34 months,while the time of group B was 8.78 months (P＜0.01).The perinipple round-block technique produced a more inconspicuous scar with a better aesthetic results.Conclusions The traditional periareolar round-block technique leaves a sharply demarcated areola by a circular scar which has a totally unnatural and artificial look.As for the perinipple round-block technique,the incision as well as any residual cutaneous wrinkling or puckering is well concealed by the dome of the nipple and the areolar,but it needs a longer skin folds absorption time.
