Objective To investigate the relations between psychiatric disability and co-morbid disability caused by injury,severity of the disabilities,as well as the unmet health care need among people living with both disabilities.Methods Data collected through both the Second China National Sample Survey on Disabilities in 2006 and the Follow-up Studies in 2009,were utilized.Sampling weights were considered to appropriately estimate situations in the total Chinese population.Results Among people with psychiatric disability,2.7% of them were affected by other injurycaused disabilities as visual,hearing,speech,psychical and intellectual disabilities.Among people with disability that caused by injuries,1.8% of them were living with psychiatric disability as well.The prevalence rates of psychiatric disability and injury caused disability were as 0.94% and 0.63%,respectively.More than half of the co-morbid people were living with profound disabilities while 46.32% of the people living with both disabilities developed co-morbid disabilities in the same year.Data from the follow-up program showed that 56.25% of the people living with co-morbid disabilities did not receive any psychiatric treatment which were in need.Conclusion There seemed a close but bidirectional relationship existed between the mental disorders and injuries that calling for better mental health services provided for people with psychiatric disabilities.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the possibility of using melanoma antigen-1 (MAGE-1) peptide as a tumor vaccine to treat hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
METHODSThe expressions of MAGE-1 in 8 HCC cell lines and in liver cancer tissue from a patient were detected using RT-PCR. The type of human leucocyte antigen I(HLA I) of both 8 HCC cell lines and peripheral blood mononuclear cells of the patient was detected using a microcytotoxicity method to screen out target cell lines for the cytotoxicity assay. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from the HCC patient pulsed with an MAGE-1 peptide (NYKCRFPEI) were used as antigen presenting cells. Autogenous peripheral blood mononuclear cells were stimulated with antigen presenting cells every 7 days for 4 times to elicit cytotoxic T lymphocytes. The phenotype of effector cells was analyzed using flow cytometry. The cytotoxicity of effector cells was detected with a lactate dehydrogenase releasing assay.
RESULTSThe expressions of both MAGE-1 and HLA-A24 were detected in BEL7405 cell line which were used as the positive target cell line in the cytotoxicity assay. The expression of MAGE-1 alone was detected in HLE, BEL7402, BEL7404, QGY7703 and SMMC7721 cell lines, and the expression of neither MAGE-1 nor HLA-A24 was shown in QGY 7701 and HpG2 cell lines. The last 7 cell lines could be used as negative target cell lines in the cytotoxicity assay. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells expanded 32 folds during 28-day culture. The ratio of CD3(+) T cells increased by 16% (from 54% to 70%), and the ratio of CD8(+) T cells increased by 20% (from 36% to 56%) during 28-day culture. When the ratio of effector cells to target cells was 10:1, effector cells exhibited 62.5% cytotoxicity against autogenous lymphoblasts pulsed with the peptide (NYKCRFPEI) of MAGE-1 antigen, 40.25% cytotoxicity against BEL7405 cells, compared with 17.88% cytolysis observed against autogenous lymphoblasts, 19.55% against HLE cells, and 1.6% against QGY7701 cells. When the ratio of effector cells to target cells was 3.3:1, the cytotoxicity of effector cells against the peptide pulsed autogenous lymphoblasts was 53.6%, which was much higher against autogenous lymphoblasts, HLE cells and QGY7701 cells at 15.6%, 13% and 1%, respectively.
CONCLUSIONThe results demonstrate that cytotoxic T lymphocytes with the ability to specifically lyse target cells expressing both MAGE-1 and HLA-A24 could be successfully induced by the MAGE-1 peptide NYKCRFPEI in vitro. This indicates that a good result might be anticipated if this peptide is used as a tumor vaccine to treat HLA-A24 HCC patients.

At present, discipline construction has gradually become the core theme of the development of clinical pharmacy in hospitals. As a key construction project unit of clinical pharmacy in Shanghai, from August 2017 to October 2019, the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University continued to promote the clinical pharmacy from four aspects: improving the practical ability of clinical pharmacists, building the information and automatic clinical pharmaceutical service mode, establishing the talent training echelon and promotion system, and strengthening the capacity of clinical transformation research and construction.

Objective:To establish the fingerprints of Microctis Folium by ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UPLC); To determine the contents of three flavonoids in the Microctis Folium; To evaluate the quality difference of Microctis Folium from different producing areas. Methods:The fingerprints were performed on Agilent ZORBAX SB C18 column (2.1 mm×150 mm,1.8 μm). The mobile phase was acetonitrile - 0.1 % acetic acid solution with gradient elution at a flow rate of 0.30 ml/min. The column temperature was 30 ℃ and the detection wavelength was 315 nm. The common fingerprint peaks were identified by UPLC-mass spectrometry, and the identification results were confirmed by comparison of reference materials. Waters Cortecs T3 C18 chromatographic column (2.1 mm × 100 mm,1.6 μm) was used for content determination. The mobile phase was methanol-0.1 % formic acid solution with gradient elution at a flow rate of 0.35 ml/min. The column temperature was 30 ℃ and the detection wavelength was 339 nm. The contents of vitexin, isovitexin and narcissoside in 15 batches of Microctis Folium from different habitats were determine. Results:There were 11 common peaks in the fingerprint of Microctis Folium. Identified by mass spectrometry and confirmed by reference substance,10 chemical components were identified, including caffeic acid, p-hydroxycinnamic acid, ferulic acid, vitexin, isovitexin, kaempferol-3-O-rutoside, astragaloside, narcissoside, isorhamnetin-3-O-glucoside and linden glycoside. The similarity between the fingerprints of 15 batches of Microctis Folium and the control fingerprint was greater than 0.95, indicating that the overall similarity of the fingerprints of Microctis Folium from different producing areas was high. The total contents of three active components were 3.23-5.64 mg/g in Yangjiang City, Guangdong, 3.60-5.78 mg/g in Zhanjiang City, Guangdong, 4.68-5.73 mg/g in Yulin City, Guangxi and 3.87-5.21 mg/g in Wuzhishan City, Hainan . There was no significant difference in the content of three active components in different producing areas. Conclusion:The fingerprints and the determination method established in the study are stable and feasible, which can be used for the quality evaluation of Microctis Folium.

Gene therapy represents a promising treatment for the Alzheimer׳s disease (AD). However, gene delivery specific to brain lesions through systemic administration remains big challenge. In our previous work, we have developed an siRNA nanocomplex able to be specifically delivered to the amyloid plaques through surface modification with both CGN peptide for the blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration and QSH peptide for -amyloid binding. But, whether the as-designed nanocomplex could indeed improve the gene accumulation in the impaired neuron cells and ameliorate AD-associated symptoms remains further study. Herein, we prepared the nanocomplexes with an siRNA against -site amyloid precursor protein-cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1), the rate-limiting enzyme of A production, as the therapeutic siRNA of AD. The nanocomplexes exhibited high distribution in the A deposits-enriched hippocampus, especially in the neurons near the amyloid plaques after intravenous administration. In APP/PS1 transgenic mice, the nanocomplexes down-regulated BACE1 in both mRNA and protein levels, as well as A and amyloid plaques to the level of wild-type mice. Moreover, the nanocomplexes significantly increased the level of synaptophysin and rescued memory loss of the AD transgenic mice without hematological or histological toxicity. Taken together, this work presented direct evidences that the design of precise gene delivery to the AD lesions markedly improves the therapeutic outcome.
