Objective To evaluate the effects of cranial electrotherapy stimulation therapy combined with psychological intervention for treating depression after cerebral infarction.Methods Eighty persons diagnosed with depression after cerebral infarction were divided randomly into a treatment group and a control group.Both groups were given routine rehabilitation training and psychological intervention, but the treatment group also received microcurrent transcranial electrical stimulation treatment.All the patients were evaluated with Hamilton's depression scale (HAMD) and the mini-mental state exam (MMSE) and given Barthel index (BI) scores before and after 4 weeks of treatment.Results There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in terms of any of the measures before treatment.After 4 weeks of treatment, both groups had improved significantly, but the improvements on all measures were significantly better in the treatment group.Conclusion Cranial electrotherapy combined with psychological intervention can significantly improve symptoms of depression and cognitive function in patients with post-stroke depression, and play an important role in improving their daily life.

Objectives To investigate the correlation between dietary fatty acids intake of pregnant women and neonatal anthropometry at birth. Methods Women in early pregnancy were recruited with appropriate value of weight gain in pregnancy. Instant photography was used to assess the dietary situation in both the second trimester and the third trimester to calculate the intakes of food, energy, macronutrients, and fatty acids. The body weight, height and BMI at birth were evaluated with Z scores. The correlation between dietary fatty acids of pregnant women and neonatal anthropometry at birth were analyzed. Results There were 516 pregnant women recruited in this study. The average intakes of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and the proportion of total fatty acids in the two trimesters were 15 . 09 g/d, 23 . 93% and 17 . 18 g/d, 24 . 86%. In the second trimester the intakes of n-6 and n-3 PUFA were 14 . 23 g/d and 3 . 45 g/d, and in the third trimester, n-6 and n-3 PUFA were 16 . 08 g/d and 3 . 81 g/d, the average intakes in the third trimester were signiifcantly higher than those in the second trimester (P??0 . 05 ). The intake of DHA ( 64 . 43 mg/d) in the second trimester was lower than that in the third trimester 75 . 12 mg/d, (P??0 . 05 ).The dietary intakes of n-3 PUFA, n-6 PUFA and n-6/n-3 ratio in the second trimester were positively correlated with neonatal BMI r=0 . 142~0 . 189 , P??0 . 05 ). Conclusions The dietary ratio of n-6/n-3 PUFA in the second trimester was positively correlated with neonatal BMI, suggesting that moderately increasing the intake of n-3 PUFA may play a positive role in reducing childhood obesity.

Objectives To explore the expression of the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) in pancreas and the serum concentration of RAGE in rats with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP).Methods Sixty four male Spraque-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control group,ANP 6,18,24,36,48,72,96 h group with 8 rats in each group.The rat model of ANP was established by injecting 20％ L-arginine intraperitoneally at the dose of 250mg/100g body weight for twice at the interval of 1 h.Rats in control group were injected intraperitoneally with the same amount of saline.The pancreas samples were histologically examined by light microscope and scored.The amount of ascites,levels of serum amylase and RAGE was determined; Real-time PCR was performed to detect the expression of RAGE mRNA in pancreatic tissue.Results Pancreatic injuries aggravated with time.The amount of ascites increased from ( 1.98 ± 0.64) ml at 6h to (8.69 ±0.62)ml at 96 h.Serum amylase level began to increase at 6h after L-arginine intraperitoneal injection and reached the peak value at 18 h[(5069.88 ± 603.25 ) U/L],and returned to normal at 36 h.The serum concentration of RAGE and RAGE mRNA expression in pancreatic tissue were ( 18.33 ± 2.99) ng/ml and 0.41 ±0.13 in the control group.The corresponding values increased at 6 h in ANP group,which were (30.31 ±5.03) ng/ml and 1.57 ±0.19,and they were significantly higher than those in the control group (P ＜0.05) ; they reached the peak value at 24 h[( 105.41 ±21.31 ) ng/ml and 4.23 ±0.73],which were significantly higher than those in other ANP groups ( P ＜ 0.05 ) ; at 96 h they decreased to the lowest point [( 33.54 ± 6.96) ng/ml and 1.19 ± 0.19],which were still significantly higher than those in the control group (P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusions The expression levels of RAGE in pancreatic tissues and serum level of RAGE increase within 36 h of ANP onset,then decrease gradually,but they are always higher than normal values.

Objective To investigate maternal awareness and knowledge of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and their compliance with polysomnography monitoring in snoring gravidas.Methods This study enrolled 589 volunteered gravidas who were treated at the 908th Hospital of Chinese People's Liberation Army Joint Logistic Support Force or Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Jiangxi Province from April 2016 to April 2017.The maternal knowledge of OSAS (0 point:complete lack of knowledge of OSAS;1 to 4 points:with partial knowledge of OSAS;5 points:correct understanding of OSAS) and the way of obtaining this knowledge were studied using a self-designed questionnaire.Influencing factors,including gestational weeks,educational background,snoring and high-risk pregnancy,were also analyzed.Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.Results The 589 gravidas had few knowledge of OSAS and only 11 of them [1.9％ (11/589)] were able to fully understand OSAS (5 points).The proportion of women who were completely lack the knowledge of OSAS (0 point) in those less-educated women was higher than in those well-educated group [61.9％ (78/126) vs 52.0％ (241/463),x2=3.873,P=0.049].Among the gravidas who were unaware of their snoring condition,those completely lack the knowledge of OSAS (0 point) accounted for 67.0％ (209/312),which was higher than the percentage among gravidas knowing they had or did not have snoring problem [35.6％ (21/59),40.8％ (89/218);x2=20.755,35.687;both P＜0.017].There was no significant difference in OSAS awareness among gravidas regardless of their gestations and whether they were classified as high-risk or not (all P＞0.05).Of 59 gravidas with snoring,only 15 (25.4％) accepted polysomnography monitoring.Eight out of the 589 gravidas (1.4％) were diagnosed with OSAS during pregnancy.Conclusions Gravidas have poor knowledge and awareness of OSAS,especially those with low educational background and not knowing their snoring condition,resulting in poor compliance with polysornnography monitoring and low diagnostic rate of OSAS during pregnancy.

Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of personalized biomechanical modeling of prostate deformation based on ultrasound elastography for magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)-transrectal ultrasound(TRUS)image registration.Methods A total number of 5 patients and 1 commercial prostate phantom were imaged via transrectal ultrasound elastography,3D-TRUS and MRI from June 2016 to December 2016.A personalized biomechanical model via the patient-specific ultrasound elastography was made for the deformable registration of prostate MRI and 3D-TRUS images.The registration accuracy was evaluated by the target registration error(TRE)and also the t-test was conducted to validate the statistical significance of our results.Results All the 5 sets of patient data as well as the phantom data were successfully registered.The TRE value of the phantom data was 1.65 mm.The mean TRE value of 5 patients was 1.31 mm,compared with the 2.52 mm TRE value of the registration method without patient-specific biomechanical properties via elastography,was approximately 48% lower(P <0.05).Conclusions Personalized biomechanical modeling of prostate deformation based on ultrasound elastography for MRI-TRUS image registration possesses important clinical significance and is a promising way to provide more quality guidance and improve the accuracy of prostate biopsy.
