ObjectiveTo explore the effect of personality and psychosocial factors on irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).MethodsPersonality and psychological status of 46 IBS patients and 32 healthy individuals were evaluated with Eysenck Personality Questionaire (EPQ), Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) and Life Events Scale (LES).ResultsIn EPQ, E (extroversion-introversion) scores of IBS group were lower than those of control group; N (neuroticism) scores of IBS group were significantly higher than those of control group (P<0.01). In SCL-90, the scores of somatization, compulsion, anxiety, depression and etc. were higher than those of control group (P<0.05). The frequency of meeting negative life events, the quantity of stimulus of meeting negative life events and the total quantity of stimulus of meeting life events of IBS patients within one year until episode were significantly higher than those of control group (P<0.01).ConclusionPersonality psychological characteristics and life events before illness are associated with the morbidity of IBS.

Objective To observe activated cerebral areas during the task of writing in second language by early and late acquisition bilinguals and explore the neuropsychological mechanism. Methods Twelve subjects were divided into group of early acquisition high proficiency bilinguals(EAHP) and group of late acquisition high proficiency bilinguals(LAHP). Each subject carried out the task of pseudo-writing and English writing. After functional imaging,statistical parametric mapping was used to compare data of the two tasks through paired- t test in both two groups. A conjunction analysis was conducted between the two groups also. Areas where the metabolism of glucose changed were analyzed. Then, the corresponding images about activated cerebral regions were obtained.Results Cerebral areas where the metabolism of glucose increased in EAHP: bilateral middle frontal gyrus( Z=4.35/2. 01 ), bilateral cerebellum ( Z = 2.97/2.53 ) and left head of caudate nucleus ( Z = 3.07 ), etc. Cerebral areas where the metabolism of glucose increased in LAHP: right superior frontal gyrus(Z=4.06), right cerebellum( Z=4.63), left putamen(Z=2.70) ,etc. Cerebral areas where the metabolism of glucose increased in compared data of LAHP with data of EAHP: right frontal gyrus ( Z = 2.92 ), right temporal lobe( Z = 2.31 ), etc. Conclusion Extensive cerebral cortex and subcortical structures participate the process of writing in the second language. Age of bilingual acquisition is one of the factors affecting cerebral localization of writing in second language.

ObjectiveTo investigate the extracorporeal clearance rate of imipenem in severe infection patients in the mode of continuous vena-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), in order to approach if the concentration of imipenem in plasma could achieve effective levels of anti-infection, and to explore the effect of time and anticoagulation measure on imipenem clearance during CRRT treatment.Methods A prospective observational study was conducted. All adult severe infection patients complicating acute kidney injury (AKI) in the Department of Critical Care Medicine of the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from March 2013 to September 2014, who were prescribed imipenem as part of their required medical care, and CRRT for treatment of AKI were enrolled. 0.5 g doses of imipenem was administered intravenously every 6 hours or 8 hours according to random number table, and infused over 0.5 hour. The unfractionated heparin was used for anticoagulation in the patients without contraindications, and no anticoagulation strategy was used in the patients with high risk of bleeding. At 24 hours after first time of administration, postfilter venous blood and ultrafiltrate samples were collected at 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 5, 6, and 8 hours after imipenem administration. The concentration of imipenem in above samples was determined with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometer/mass spectrometer (LC-MS/MS).Results A total of 25 patients were enrolled. Thirteen patients received imipenem intravenously every 6 hours, and 12 patients, every 8 hours. The anticoagulation was conducted with heparin in 13 cases, and 12 cases without anticoagulation. The intra-day precision, inter-day precision, matrix effect, and recovery rate in low, medium, and high concentration of plasma and ultrafiltrate, and the stability of samples under different conditions showed a good result, the error of accuracy was controlled in the range of±15%. With the application of Prismaflex blood filtration system and AN69-M100 filter, under the mode with CVVH, the total clearance rate of imipenem was (8.874±2.828) L/h when the actual dose of replacement fluid was (31.63±1.48) mL·kg-1·h-1, the total CRRT clearance rate of imipenem in vitro was (2.211±0.539) L/h, which accounting for (30.1±15.7)% of the total drug clearance. In 6 hours interval dosage regimen, the percentages of the time> 4×minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) at specific 4×MIC of 2, 4, 6, and 8μg/mL of imipenem were more than 40% of the dosing interval. But in the 8 hours interval dosage regimen, when the level was above the 4×MIC of 4μg/mL, maintaining time would drop below 40% of the dosing interval, with significant differences compared with that in 6 hours interval dosage regimen [4×MIC = 2μg/mL: (60.84±20.25)%vs. (94.01±12.46)%,t = 4.977,P = 0.001; 4×MIC = 4μg/mL: (39.85±15.88)% vs. (68.74±9.57)%,t = 5.562, P = 0.000; 4×MIC = 6μg/mL: (27.58±13.70)% vs. (53.97±8.36)%,t = 5.867,P = 0.000; 4×MIC = 8μg/mL:(18.87±12.43)% vs. (43.48±7.83)%,t = 5.976,P = 0.000]. No significant change in sieving coefficient of imipenem was found within a short time (6 hours), which indicated that there was no effect of anticoagulation on clearance of imipenem by AN69-M100 filter, and no statistical significance was found with repeated measure analysis (F = 0.186, P> 0.05).ConclusionsThe clearance rate of imipenem is increased significantly in vitro under the mode of CVVH with the actual dose of replacement fluid was (31.63±1.48) mL·kg-1·h-1 in severe infective patients with severe sepsis complicating AKI, affecting the level of plasma drug concentration, need to adjust the dosage regimen. When the time of the dosing interval was shortened, the concentration of imipenem in patients' plasma could be increased significantly. In a short period of time, the sieving coefficient of imipenem through AN69 filter is not affected by anticoagulation measures and time cleaning efficiency will not decline.

Objective To discuss the effects and methods of the surgical treatment of complex humeral nonunion.Methods Ten cases of scleroid humeral nonunion were treated by compressive interlocking medullary nailing and autografting of iliac bone.Fifteen cases of humeral nonunion combined with osteomyelitis or osteoporosis were treated with grafting of free vascularized fibular flaps.Results All the cases were followed up for six months to six years.They all obtained bone union.The average time of bone union was 3.1 months for the free vascularized fibular grafting group and 3.8 months for the interlocking medullary nail group.Conclusions Compressive interlocking medullary nailing and autografting of iliac bone is effective for scleroid humeral nonunion,while grafting of free vascu- larized fibular flaps is effective for humeral nonunion combined with osteomyelitis or osteoporosis because the free vas- cularized fibular grafting can well reconstruct the defective humerus bone with osteoporosis or osteomyelitis.
