Objective To expolore the changes of coagulation index in newborns of different age and its clinical significance. Methods We studied 129 newborn infants without complication admitted to the neonatal department in an all-around hospital in Gnangzhou from January to December in 2005. These neonates were divided into two groups, including 63 cases of full-term infants and 66 cases of premature infants. Prothrombin time (PT), activated partial prothrombin time (APTT), Fibrinogen (Fg), thrombin time (TT), D-dimer (D-D) of these newborn infants were assayed on the first day, the third day and the tenth day. Results In the postnatal three periods of time, there was no difference in PT and D-dimer between two groups(P >0.05), but APTT and TT in premature infants were higher than that in full-term infants( P < 0.05), and Fg in premature infants were lower than that of full-term irfants(P<0.05). PT,APTT, TT,Ddimer were in decrease tendency and Fg increased as age increased( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion Geststional age and age had effect on coagulation index in newborn infants, and both can provide clinical references to clinical diagnosis and therapy.

Objective To investigate the status of fatigue and depression and their influencing factors in patients with acute coronary syndrome, and analyse the correlation of fatigue, depression and self-management behavior. Methods 113 patients were investigated by using Fatigue Symptom Inventory (FSI), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Coronary artery disease Self-management Scale (CSMS). Results The score of fatigue was (4.59±1.93)points, while depression scored (5.05±1.48)points and self-management behavior scored (57.29 ±8.29)points; the score of fatigue, depression of female patients were higher than that of male patients, which had statistical difference(t=2.535-5.894, P<0.05);Regression analysis showed that gender, time of illness, number of other chronic diseases were major factors affecting fatigue while gender and treatment method were major factors affecting depression; there were negative ralationships between self-management and fatigue, self-management and depression (r=-0.855-0.682). Conclusions Fatigue, depression are common in patients with acute coronary syndrome, and can affect their self-management behavior, and the female patients are more susceptible to fatigue and depression.

Objective To probe the biological effect of multiple intraepithelial injections of recombinant adenovirus-p53(rAd-p53)on inducing the apoptosis in patients with dysplastic oral leukoplakia.Methods 18 patients clinically and histopathologically diagnosed as dysplastic oral leukoplakia were recruited for this study.Intraepithelial injections of rAd-p53 were administered.Immunohistochemistry was used to examine the protein expression of p53 and bcl-2.TUNEL was performed to detect apoptotic cells.Results In the post-treatment patients,p53 protein expression were significantly enhanced(100 ％,18/18),yet bcl-2 protein presented low expression(17 ％,3/18).Statistical analysis revealed the expression of p53 protein had a negative correlation with that of bcl-2 protein(r =-0.837,P ＜ 0.01).15 post-treatment samples (83 ％)were detected obvious apoptotic cells,especially in the samples that were strong p53-positive(r =0.684,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Intraepithelial injections of rAd-p53 can induce apoptosis for patients with dysplastic oral leukoplakia.It may be a promising treatment for oral leukoplakia.

Objective To assess the incidence of extrauterine growth retardation (EUGR) in very low birth weight (VLBW) preterm infants and to evaluate the effects of nutritional support and morbidities on EUGR.Methods Data of VLBW preterm infants ＜ 34 weeks of gestation admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University between January 1,2005 and December 31,2010 were reviewed.Those VLBW preterm infants were divided into the EUGR group (n=67) and the non-EUGR group (n=40).Perinatal data,growth data,nutritional information and morbidities were compared between the two groups.The incidence of EUGR in VLBW preterm infants was assessed and the associated risk factors were analyzed.Independent samples t,Chi-square and rank sum tests and Logistic regression analysis were used for statistical analyses.Results A total of 107 VLBW infants survived to discharge.The average gestational age in the EUGR group was much lower than that in the non-EUGR group [(30.0±2.1) weeks vs (30.9 ± 1.1) weeks,t=2.904,P=0.002].However,the incidences of small for gestational age (SGA) and maternal hypertension in the EUGR group was higher than that in the non-EUGR group [SGA:53.7％ (36/67) vs 15.0％ (6/40),x2=15.575,P ＜ 0.01; maternal hypertension:40.3％ (27/67) vs 20.0％ (8/40),x2=4.689,P=0.030].Standard deviation score (SDS) of birth weight and weight at discharge in the EUGR group was lower than that in the non-EUGR group [SDS of birth weight:(--1.9±0.8) vs (--1.1±0.7),t=5.418; weight at discharge:-2.6 (-3.0--2.0) vs-0.5 (-0.9--0.1),U=30.271; both P ＜ 0.01].The velocity of weight gain in the EUGR group was lower than that in the non-EUGR group [(12.0±4.4) g/(kg · d) vs (16.1±4.0) g/(kg · d),t=1.879,P=0.036],while the maximum percentage of weight loss and the age at maximum weight loss in the EUGR group was higher than that in the non-EUGR group [percentage of weight loss:(13.2± 1.7)％ vs (9.0± 1.6)％,t=12.832,P ＜ 0.01; age:(13.4±3.5) vs (10.9±4.3) d,t=3.113,P=0.001].The time to achieve full enteral feeds,3 g/(kg · d) protein and 120 kcal/(kg · d) calories intake were longer in than the EUGR group [(39.7 ± 8.2) vs (30.8±6.1) d,t=6.293,P=0.007; (21.4±5.8) vs (17.5±1.3) d,t=4.286,P=0.002; (28.4±6.0) vs (20.3±5.4) d,t=7.198,P=0.015; 1 kcal=4.184 k J].The cumulative caloric deficit and cumulative protein deficit in the first two weeks of life in the EUGR group were significantly higher than those in the non-EUGR group [(600.9±49.3) vs (536.4 ± 55.2) kcal/kg,t=6.082,P ＜ 0.01; (17.4 ± 0.8) vs (12.4 ± 0.8) g/kg,t=31.279,P=0.003,respectively].The incidences of late-onset infection and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in the EUGR group was significantly higher than that in the non-EUGR group [77.6％ (52/67) vs 40.0％ (16/40),x2=15.300,P ＜ 0.01;38.8％ (26/67) vs 17.5％ (7/40),x2=5.330,P=0.040,respectively].The length of oxygen therapy and mechanical ventilation in the EUGR group were significantly longer than that in the non-EUGR group [(44.5 ±4.5) vs (32.5± 1.5) d,t=20.042,P=0.030; 9.5(6.5-44.0) d vs 6.2(5.0-35.5) d,U=19.195,P=0.004,respectively].Logistic regression analysis showed that SGA,gestational age,BPD,late-onset infection,time to achieve full enteral feeds and 3 g/(kg · d) protein intake and the cumulative caloric deficit in the first two weeks after birth were the independent risk factors for EUGR (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions EUGR remains a serious issue in VLBW preterm infants,especially SGA,in the NICU.An early aggressive nutritional strategy,prevention of BPD and infection,and improvement of perinatal care may facilitate a reduction in the occurrence of EUGR.

Objective To investigate the effect of Cordyceps Sinensis and Mycelium of Cultured Sinensis on acute injury in this test and expression of CYP450. Methods Mice received a single dose of 0. 1% CCl_4 i. p, after CCl_4 intoxication,mice received Cordyceps Sincnsis and Mycelium of Cultured Sinensis (100mg/ml) 3 times per six hour,then the mice sacrificed at 6h,12h,24h,the levels of aminotransferase (ALT) and glutathione (GSH) in ser-um,CYP45 content in hepatic microsomal activity in fiver homogenate were measured. Results Mice given Cordyceps Sinensis and Mycelium of Cultured Sinensis supplement had less elevation of serum ALT concentration, Cordyceps Sinensis and Mycelium of Cultured Sinensis administration restored the reduction of hepatic microsomal P450 protein content as well as inducing an increase in hepatic GSH concentration. Additionally, Cordyceps Sinensis and Mycelium of Cultured Sincnsis treatment inhibited the elevation of hepatic CYP450 protein after CCl_4 intoxication. Condusion The protect effect of Cordyceps Sinensis and Mycelium of Cultured Sinensis may be due to its abilitity to increase CYP450 content which decreased in CCl_4-induced liver in combination with increasing the activities of antioxidant en-zyme.

Objective: This study is the first to adopt a cultural and contextual coping model to examine the impact of forbearance coping on compliance and psychological health and unravel the psychosocial mediator and moderator among community-dwelling residents in the post-pandemic era in China. Methods: A multistage cluster convenience sampling strategy was conducted to recruit 402 community-dwelling residents of ten cities in Guangdong province who completed an online survey measuring forbearance coping, anti-pandemic compliance behaviours, family resilience, community resilience and psychological distress. Results: The study results showed an unexpected negative influence of forbearance coping on psychological distress. Nevertheless, forbearance coping facilitated personal compliance with coronavirus disease-2019 mitigation measures and improved psychological health. More importantly, meaning-making of adversity within families partially mediated the negative effect of forbearance on mental health only when respondents perceived higher levels of community resilience. Conclusion This study is the first to apply the cultural and contextual model of coping to Chinese individuals during a significant public health crisis. It expands the model by uncovering mechanisms like behavioural compliance and family meaning-making, and highlights the moderating role of community resilience. The findings emphasize the importance of building resilient communities and supporting mental health, providing evidence for future policy interventions and pandemic/disaster prevention measures in China.
