OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of Peitu Shengjin Recipe (PSR) on nutritional states and immune functions of stable phase chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients.

METHODSTotally 62 stable phase COPD patients were randomly assigned to the treatment group (30 cases) and the control group (32 cases). All patients inhaled Seretide (50/500 µg), twice per day. Besides, patients in the treatment group additionally received PSR, one dose per day. After three months of treatment, the COPD assessment test (CAT) score, the index of nutritional states [including body mass index (BMI) , thickness of skin fold (TSF), mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC), serum albumin, serum prealbumin], and immune functions (including IgA, IgM, and IgG) were compared between the two groups.

RESULTSBy the end of the treatment, the CAT score decreased more obviously in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). The improvement of BMI, TSF, MAMC, serum albumin, and serum prealbumin was better in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). IgM and IgG also increased more in the treatment group (P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference in IgA between the two groups (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSAdditionally use of PSR could improve nutritional states and immune functions of stable phase COPD patients to some extent. Meanwhile, it also could improve their health related quality of life.

BACKGROUND:It is crucial for us to find an objective and sensitive means for the assessment ofthe severitv and development of dementia,so as to make instant diagnosis and examination of therapeutic effect on patientswith vascular dementias(VD).Event related potential endogenetic eomponent P300 is proved closely correlated with the cognitive management of examinees but not with stimulus property,thereby considered as one of the most valuable and objective index for brain superior psychological activity.OBJECTIVE:To study the role and significance of events related potential P300,providing objective basis for clinical diagnosis and therapeutic assessment for patients with VD.DESIGN:Non-randomized simultaneous controlled explorative study based on patients. SETTING:Neurological department and electromyography department in aprovincial hospital and neurological department in a medical college hospital.PARTICIPANTS:Between February 2000 and June 2001,64 patients were of VD at neurological clinic and ward ofthe Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical College,including 38 males and 26 females with theaverage age of(66.0±4.6)years(VD group).Culturallevel:19 cases re-ceiyed over senior school education,31 cases of junior school education and14 cases of illiteracy.Meanwhile 60 inpatients without VD were enrolled(non-VD group)including 35 males and 25 females withthe average age of(68.0±3.7)years.Culturallevel:senior school or above,15 cases,junior school, 29 cases and illiteracy,16 cases.METHODS:Mental sate of both VD and non-VD groups were assessed with mini-mental state examination(MMSE),and tested with P300 potential observing the variability of latency and amplitude of P300 in patients.Both methods were compared between VD group and non-VD group, moreover relationship between P300 latency and MMSE scores was also explored.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Variability of P300 latency and amplitude Relationship between P300 latency and MMSE scores.RESULTS:P300 latency was found prolonged in 74% and 7% of VD group and non-VD group respectively,with obvious significance between them,meanwhile prolonged P300 latency was proved closely correlated with the MMSE scores(r=0.609 6,P＜0.05).CONCLUSION:P300 latency can be considered as an obiective predictor for the earlier diagnosis and the assessment of therapeutic effects in patients with VD.

Taxus is the source plant of anti-cancer drug paclitaxel and its biosynthetic precursor, analogs and derivatives, which has been studying for decades. There are many endemic Taxus species in China, which have been studied in the field of multiple disciplines. Based on the recent studies of the researchers, this review comments on the study of Taxus biology and chemistry. The bibliometric method is used to quantify the global scientific production of Taxus-related research, and identify patterns and tendencies of Taxus-related articles. Gaps are present in knowledge about the genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and bioinformatics of Taxus and their endophytic fungi. Systems biology and various omics technologies will play an increasingly important role in the coming decades.

Background and purpose:Nowadays, about therapy of laryngeal carcinoma, people are paying more and more widely attention to ifnding out how to improve quality of patients’ life besides radical surgery. For glottic laryngeal carcinoma which invading anterior commissure or bilateral vocal cord, we performed modiifed frontolateral partial laryngectomy or modiifed cricohyoidoepiglottopexy, and contrastive analyzed the therapeutic efifcacy of the two ways. Methods:Sixty cases patients of glottic laryngeal carcinoma who treated in Hunan Provincial Tumor Hospital during 2005 to 2010, which invaded the anterior commissure or bilateral vocal cord, were randomly attributed to two groups as A and B;30 patients of group A were underwent modiifed frontolateral partial laryngectomy and repaired with bilateral sternohyoid muscle lfap, 30 patients of group B were treated by modiifed cricohyoidoepiglottopexy. Follow-up time of each patient was 5 years postoperation and clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Results:The 5-year survival rate was 86.7%in group A as well as 83.3%in group B, and there was no statistical difference between two groups (P=0.718). Pronunciation function:22 cases in group A and 21 cases in group B whose pronunciation function can be competent in the noisy environment, and can pronounce“a”and“i”vowel;8 cases in group A and 9 cases in group B can pronounce only a“ha”,“hi”sound, that couldn’t communicate with others in a noisy environment. There was no statistical difference in pronunciation function between the two groups (P=0.774). Incidence of deglutition disorder 4 weeks postoperation:group A was 0 (0/30), group B was 16.7%(5/30), and the difference between the two groups was statistically signiifcant (P=0.026);average time of extubation postoperation:group A was (10±2.3) d, group B was (20±4.6)d, and the difference between the two groups was statistically signiifcant (P=0.0000);recurrence rate of dyspnea after extubation:group A was 16.7%(5/30), group B was 0 (0/30), and there was statistically signiifcant difference between the two groups (P=0.026). Conclusion: For the glottic laryngeal carcinoma which invading anterior commissure or bilateral vocal cord, there was no statistical difference in 5-years survival rate and function of pronunciation between modified frontolateral partial laryngenctomy and modified cricohyoidoepiglottopexy postoperation. The former had less postoperative deglution disorder, earlier extubation time, and to some extent, alleviated the suffering of the patients, but part of these patients needed secondary surgery due to dyspnea which resulted by radioactive tissue adhesion after extubation. The latter had more serious deglution disorder postoperation, longer recovery time, and relatively longer time to extubating, showed no again dyspnea after extubation, and had more extensive adaptation disease. In a word, each way of operation has its advantage respectively.

Objective To investigate the relationship between head nurse's authentic leadership and degree of solidarity among nurses in operating room.Method A total of 120 nurses in the operation room of 3 general hospitals in Jiamusi City were enrolled in the study by way of the questionnaire on authentic leadership and the scale of solidarity.Results The mean score on the head nurse's authentic leadership (41.28 ± 8.48) was above the middle-high level.The mean score on the solidarity (68.67 ± 8.82) was in the middle-high level.There was a positive correlation between the head nurses' authentic leadership and the degree of solidarity among nurses in the operating room.Conclusion Hospital and nursing administrators should take active and effective measures to improve the leadership of head nurses so as to improve the degree of solidarity among nurses in the operating room as well as the quality of nursing.

Objective To study the inhibitory effect of panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) on 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT) formation in brain induced by heme/NO2 -/H2O2 or ONOO - pathways in vitro. Methods According to the two major pathways of 3-NT formation in vivo, the models of protein nitration induced by heme/NaNO2/H2O2 or ONOO-system were established, respectively, in vitro. Bovine serum albumin (BSA)/rat plasma protein or rat brain homogenate protein were utilized as reactive substrates in both systems. Samples were divided into blank-control group, 3-NT group and PNS group (including low-, medium-and high-concentration subgroups). In 3-NT group, samples were exposed to heme/NaNO2/H2O2 or ONOO-system, respectively, at 37℃for 30 min, whereas in PNS group, samples were pre-incubated with PNS (at final concentrations of 50 mg/L, 100 mg/L, and 200 mg/L) at 37℃for 5 min before the nitrating system exposure. The 3-NT level in each group was detected by Western blot assy. Results Compared with the blank-control group, both heme/NaNO2/H2O2 and ONOO-system can induce significant 3-NT generation in BSA/rat plasma protein or rat brain homogenate protein (P<0.05). Compared with model group, PNS pre-treatment markedly inhibited 3-NT expression in BSA/rat plasma protein in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05), the inhibitory effect of low intervention on the level of 3-NT in rat brain homogenate protein was not significant (P>0.05). Medium- and high-concentrations of PNS pre-treatment markedly inhibited 3-NT accumulation, with maximum effect at the concentration of 200 mg/L (P<0.05). Conclusion Medium- and high-concentrations of PNS can inhibit 3-NT formation in brain tissue mediated by either heme/NO2-/H2O2 or ONOO-pathways, implying that potential neuroprotective action against 3-NT involves pathological conditions, like trauma, stroke, and neurodegenerative diseases.
