ObjectiveTo observe the effect of the doctor-led telephone interview on the state of anxiety for outpatients with epilepsy.Methods100 outpatients with epilepsy and state of anxiety were divided into two groups: intervention group (doctor-led telephone interview) and control group (outpatient face-to-face visit in the epileptic clinic), 50 cases in each group. Doctor-let semi-structured telephone interview was performed in the intervention group, while routine face-to-face interview in outpatient was performed in the control group for 6 months. Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) was used to assess the anxiety state before and 6 months after intervention. The state of anxiety and the patients' contents in the two groups were analyzed.ResultsThe scores of SAS in two group decreased 6 months after intervention and the intervention group was better than the control group.ConclusionThe doctor-led telephone interview can improve the state of anxiety for the patients with epilepsy.

Objective To establish a model of pancreatic cancer(PC)in SD rats,and to study the changs of serum levels of AMS and TNF-? and the significances.Methods Dimethylbenzanthracene(DMBA)was directly implanted into pancreatic parenchyma of SD rats(experimental group,group A),and in the process of establishing PC,weekly TSA by 1P was done in intervention group(group B).The tumor development of rats executed within 3～5 months in Group A and Group B were observed by HE staining and gross examination.Meanwhile,the rats in the sham operation group(Group C)were executed at 5 months.The levels of serum AMS were detected by autobiochemical assay apparatus,and the levels of serurn TNF-? were determined by ELISA.Results(1)The incidence of pancreatic cancer in Group A within 3～5 months was 48.7%(18/37),including 17 cases of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and 1 case of fibrosarcoma.The incidence of pancreatic cancer in Group B was 33.3%(12/36),including 11 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and 1 case of fibrosarcoma.The maximal diameter of tumor mass in Group A was higher than that in Group B((P

Objective To investigate the effect of ulinastatin treatment on the inflammatory factor expression and prognosis in patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Methods One hundred patients with VAP were enrolled, and the patients were given the standardized treatment of VAP. The patents were divided into high dose group (33 cases, using the ulinastatin 20 000 U/d), normal dose group (34 cases, using the ulinastatin 10 000 U/d) and control group (33 cases, no using the ulinastatin) by random digits table method. The serum C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin, interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-αlevels at the first, third, fifth and seventh day of diagnosis were detected. All the patients were followed up for 1 month, and the antibiotics treatment time, mechanical ventilation time, ICU stay time and mortality were recorded. Results The CRP, procalcitonin, TNF-αand IL-6 from the first day of diagnosis to the seventh day of diagnosis in 3 groups showed the downward trend, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). There were no statistical differences in CRP and procalcitonin at the third, fifth and seventh day of diagnosis among 3 groups (P>0.05). At the third, fifth and seventh day of diagnosis, the TNF-α levels in high dose group were (46.02 ± 4.65), (23.88 ± 7.76) and (11.05 ± 2.56) ng/L, the IL-6 levels were (15.53 ± 4.54), (11.33 ± 3.45) and (6.62 ± 2.45) ng/L;the TNF-αlevels in normal dose group were (56.02 ± 6.42), (38.88 ± 9.34) and (27.05 ± 3.42) ng/L, the IL-6 levels were (18.23 ± 2.45), (15.33 ± 4.34) and (11.23 ± 3.34) ng/L; the TNF-α levels in control group were (68.13 ± 4.77), (52.88 ± 7.46) and (42.12 ± 3.76) ng/L, the IL-6 levels were (20.02 ± 3.23), (17.23 ± 2.34) and (15.33 ± 2.33) ng/L. The TNF-αand IL-6 levels at the third, fifth and seventh day of diagnosis in high dose group were significantly lower than those in normal dose group and control group, and those in the normal dose group were significantly lower than those in control group, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). The mechanical ventilation time, antibiotics treatment time and ICU stay time in high dose group were significantly shorter than those in normal group and control group:(15.34 ± 5.67) d vs. (18.44 ± 6.32) and (22.34 ± 5.21) d, (7.45 ± 2.54) d vs. (10.45 ± 4.56) and (14.43 ± 6.24) d, (18.42 ± 7.45) d vs. (20.43 ± 4.98) and (26.35 ± 5.97) d, and those in normal group were significantly shorter than those in control group, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). There was no statistical differences in the mortality among 3 groups (P>0.05). Conclusions Ulinastatin can inhibit the expression of IL-6 and TNF-α in patents with VAP, shorten the antibiotics treatment time, mechanical ventilation time, ICU stay time and mortality, and improve prognosis.

Objective To measure the levels of human interleukin (IL)-32 in the serum and induced sputum of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and investigate the possible roles of IL-32 in COPD.Methods Sixty patients with acute exacerbation of COPD ( AECOPD),60 patients with stable COPD,and 30 healthy subjects were recruited.The concentrations of IL-8,tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α),and IL-32 in serum and induced sputum were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The correlations among IL-32,IL-8,TNF-α,and lung functions were investigated. The data were analyzed using a statistical software package (SPSS 13.0).Variables were compared with one-way ANOVA,and correlations among variables were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient or Spearman's correlation coefficient.Results The serum IL-32 level was significantly higher in AECOPD patients [(175 ± 88) ng/L] than in healthy subjects [ (59 ± 21 ) ng/L] and in stable COPD patients [ (89 ± 34) ng/L] (P ＜ 0.05) ; the serum IL-32 level was also significantly higher in stable COPD patients than in healthy subjects (P ＜ 0.05).The sputum IL-32 level was significantly higher in AECOPD patients [ ( 163 ± 117) ng/L] than in healthy subjects [ ( 75 ± 38 ) ng/L] and stable COPD patients [ ( 108 ± 63 )ng/L] (P ＜0.05); the sputum IL-32 level was also significantly higher in stable COPD patients than in healthy subjects ( P ＜ 0.05 ).The sputum IL-32 level in AECOPD patients was positively correlated with the sputum IL-8 and TNF-α levels (r =0.49 and 0.53,respectively) (P ＜0.01 ).The sputum IL-32 level in AECOPD patients was negatively correlated with FEV1 predicted values,FEV1/FVC,and PaO2 (r =-0.44to -0.33) (P ＜ 0.01 ).The serum IL-32 level in AECOPD patients was positively correlated with the serum IL-8 and TNF-o levels (r =0.45 and 0.61,respectively) (P ＜ 0.01 ).The serum IL-32 level in AECOPD patients was negatively correlated with FEV1 predicted values,FEV1/FVC,and PaO2 (r =-0.46to - 0.29) ( P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusions IL-32 may be involved in the pathogenesis of airway inflammation in COPD.IL-32 may be a useful marker of acute exacerbation of COPD.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects and advantages of flexible 3D laparoscopic surgery on rectal cancer after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT). Methods The data of 152 patients who received laparoscopic rectal cancer resection after nCRT excluding the cases of high rectal cancer, cardiac and pulmonary dysfunction were analyzed from January 2015 to January 2016 in the Department of Colorectal Surgery of Liaoning Cancer Hospital. The distances from the annal edge to the inferior tumor margin were within 8 cm in these patients. Among these patients, 76 cases received the 3D laparoscopic surgery after nCRT (3D-nCRT), and 76 cases undergone the 2D laparoscopic surgery after nCRT (2D-nCRT). Results Between two groups, the number of lymph node harvest (14.8±2.1 vs. 14.3±1.7), positive rate of the distal margin [1.3 % (1/76) vs. 2.6 % (2/76)], reserving anus rate [92.1 % (70/76) vs. 81.2 % (67/76)], local recurrence rate [1.3 % (1/76) vs. 3.9 % (3/76)] and anastomotic leakage rate [2.6 % (2/76) vs. 3.9 % (3/76)] had no statistical differences (all P>0.05), while the operative time [(125.3±10.2) min vs. (136.6±12.0) min], intraoperative bleeding [(54.1±23.2) ml vs. (61.9±19.5) ml], anus exhaust time [(43.5±5.0) h vs. (45.4±5.6) h] and positive rate of circumferential resection margin (CRM) [1.3 % (1/76) vs. 9.2 % (7/76)] had statistical differences (all P< 0.05). Conclusion Flexible 3D laparoscopic surgery on rectal cancer after nCRT can shorten operative time, reduce intraoperative bleeding, alleviate the influence of intestinal peristalsis function, and improve operative quality.

Objective To compare the clinical effects of three-dimensional (3D) and two-dimensional (2D) laparoscopic surgeries for rectal cancer (RC) after neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy (nCRT).Methods The retrospective cohort study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 126 patients with RC who received laparoscopic surgery after nCRT in the Liaoning Cancer Hospital from January 2013 to January 2014 were collected.Of 126 patients,63 undergoing 3D laparoscopic surgery and 63 undergoing 2D laparoscopic surgery were respectively allocated into the 3D and 2D groups.Surgery was performed by the same doctors' team.Patients received surgery at 6-8 weeks after nCRT,and surgery followed the principle of total mesorectal excision.Observation indicators:(1) intra-and post-operative situations;(2) postoperative pathological examination;(3)follow-up and survival situations.Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect local tumor recurrence and patients' survival up to January 2017.Patients received reexaminations once every 3 months within 1 year postoperatively and once every 6 months after 2-3 years postoperatively.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as (x)±s and comparison between groups was analyzed using the t test.Comparisons of count data were analyzed using the chi-square test.Comparison of ordinal data was done by the nonparametric test.Survival curve was drawn using the Kaplan-Meier method.Survival was analyzed using the Logrank test.Results (1) Intra-and post-operative situations:all the patients underwent successful laparoscopic surgery for RC,without conversion to open surgery and perioperative death.Operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss,time to anal exsufflation and number of patients with postoperative urinary dysfunction were (125±10)minutes,(54±23)mL,(44±5)hours,0 in the 3D group and (137±12)minutes,(62±20)mL,(46±5) hours,5 in the 2D group,respectively,with statistically significant differences between the 2 groups (t=5.777,2.038,2.575,x2 =7.138,P＜0.05).Number of patients with preserving anus,number of lymph node dissected,number of patients with anastomotic fistula and duration of hospital stay were 60,14.9±2.1,2,(9.5±0.8)days in the 3D group and 58,14.3± 1.7,4,(9.9±2.0)days in the 2D group,respectively,with no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (x2 =0.133,t=1.606,x2 =0.175,t =1.329,P＞0.05).Two and 4 patients with anastomotic leakage in the 3D and 2D groups received defunctioning stoma,and finally anastomotic leakage healed,without anastomotic stenosis.Of 5 patients with urinary dysfunction in the 2D group,4 received indwelling catheter for 3 weeks and then can micturate autonomously after indwelling catheter removal,1 received indwelling catheter for 3 months and then can micturate autonomously after indwelling catheter removal,without suprapubic cystostomy.(2) Postoperative pathological examination:0 and 4 patients in the 3D and 2D groups had positive circumferential margin,with a statistically significant difference (x2=5.676,P＜0.05).One and 2 patients in the 3D and 2D groups had positive distal margin,with no statistically significant difference (x2 =1.606,P＞0.05).Number of patients with stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ of postoperative pathological staging were 30,33 in the 3D group and 32,31 in the 2D group,respectively,with no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (x2=0.127,P＞0.05).(3) Follow-up and survival situations:126 patients were followed up for 36.0-48.0months,with a median time of 39.5 months.During the follow-up,0 and 3 patients in the 3D and 2D groups were complicated with local tumor recurrence,with a statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (x2 =4.232,P＜0.05).One-and 3-year overall survival rates were 98.4％,82.5％ in the 3D group and 96.8％,79.4％ in the 2D group,respectively,with no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (x2 =0.206,P＞0.05).One-and 3-year disease-free survival rates were 92.7％,77.8％ in the 3D group and 90.5％,73.0％in the 2D group,respectively,with no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (x2=0.421,P＞0.05).Conclusion Compared with 2D laparoscopic surgery,3D laparoscopic surgery for RC after nCRT is safe and feasible,it can also shorten operation time,reduce intraoperative bleeding,alleviate the influence of intestinal peristalsis function,protect pelvic nerves better and improve operation quality.

Objective To investigate the cognitive function and psychological mental state of patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME), and the related risk factors. Methods From September, 2011 to Febrary, 2014, 21 patients with JME and 18 healthy controls matched with age, sex and educational level were assessed with Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and Revised Chinese Wechsler Adult Intel-ligence Scale (WAIS-RC) and Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90). The risk factors were analyzed with Logistic regression analysis. Results There was no significant difference in the score of MoCA between two groups (t=―1.544, P=0.131). The scores of verbal intelligence quo-tient (VIQ), performance intelligence quotient (PIQ) and full intelligence quotient (FIQ) in WAIS-RC were significantly lower in the patient group than in the control group (t>4.119, P<0.001). The scores of interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, phobic anxiety, par-anoid ideation and psychoticism in SCL-90 were significantly higher in the patient group than in the control group (t>2.480, P<0.05). Logis-tic regression analysis showed that VIQ significantly decreased in patients taking valproic acid (B=―3.064, OR=0.047, 95% CI=0.002~0.920, P=0.044). Conclusion VIQ, PIQ and FIQ decreased in patients with JME. Furthermore, different levels of dysfunction were found in interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, phobic anxiety, paranoid ideation and psychoticism. Taking valproic acid was the risk factor of cognitive decline.

A simple and rapid assay for the detection of Classical swine fever virus(CSFV)was established using reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification(RT-LAMP).This study describes the amplification of the genomic RNA of CSFV under isothermal conditions(63℃)within one hour,using a set of six primers(two outer primers,two inner primers and two loop primers).This RT-LAMP assay showed 100-fold higher sensitivity than the standard RT-PCR method and identified eighteen additional positive cases that were negative when tested by RT-PCR.This RT-LAMP was able to detect all the 13 strains of CSFV but not the BVDV.PRRSV.SIV.PRV-PCV,thus showed a good specificity.Products amplified by RT-LAMP can be visualized by agarose gel electrophoresis and in addition,either as a white precipitate at the bottom of the tube after a pulse spin or as a color change when dyed with SYBR Green I which are visible to the naked eye.Because RT-LAMP is low-cost and produces rapid results,it has the potential to be an excellent tool for CSFV surveillance in the field,especially in developing countries.
