ObjectiveTo explore the characteristics of violence behavior of the psychotics in communities. Methods37 psychotics who used to have violence behavior were investigated with Questionnaire of Characteristics and Associated Factor for Violence Behavior of Psychotics in Communities created ourselves. ResultsThe psychotics suffered violence behavior appeared some peculiarities for the time, place, and dealing with tools, etc. Their mental state, course of disease and treatment were associated with their violence behavior. ConclusionThere is some characteristics in most of the violence behavior of the psychotics, which may be helpful for preventing.

Objective To seek for the differentially-expressed proteins in patients with kidney-yin deficiency syndrome and to screen out the specific proteins,so as to provide evidence for the establishment of objective standard of kidney deficiency syndrome of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).Methods Five patients with typical kidney-yin deficiency syndrome and 6 normal healthy volunteers were enrolled into the study.Plasma proteins in both groups were detected by antibody chip,and then the plasma proteins profile was compared and analyzed.Results A total of 25 differentially-expressed proteins between kidney-yin deficiency group and normal control group were found,of which 2 were up-regulated and 23 were down-regulated.Conclusion The differentially-expressed proteins in patients with kidney-yin deficiency syndrome are mainly related to immune disorder,protein biosynthesis,metabolism,oxidative stress,cell apoptosis,signal transduction,and so on.

The thermostability of the inulinase was studied in this resea rc h. Some alcoholic materials and thickening agent could enhance the thermostabli lity of the inulinase. Using glycerol、xanthic pastern and though orthogonal ex periments of three elements and three levels, a satisfying protective agent, whi ch included glycerin(6%), xanthan gum(0.6%) and CaCl_2 (100mmol/mL) and ha d a significant effect on the enhancement of the inulinase thermostability, was acquired.

ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical characteristics and treatment of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).MethodsDuring epidemic period of SARS,all suspected patients were isolated and treated at very early stage. Clinical symptoms, signs and changes of the chest film were observed carefully to make early diagnosis and begin early intervention. 14 SARS cases with definite diagnosis were treated by Western Medicine combined with Chinese Traditional Medicine.3 cases of them with severe type were treated by timely technical ventilation,which was nasotracheal intubition guided with fibronchoscope,with the principle of low tide volume and high PEEP to improve oxygen combination.ResultsAll patients were cured to discharge. Only two cases of mild pulmonary fibrosis were found after 2 months' follow-up. None of the medical workers taking part in rescuing and treating SARS patients and none of the family members of the patients were infected.ConclusionDuring SARS epidemic period,early isolation,early diagnosis,early combined treatment of Western Medicine and Chinese Traditional Medicine,and prompt technical ventilation intervention on severe cases are important factors to successfully rescue and treat SARS patients.

Abstract:Objective To elucidate the mechanisms by which Epstein-Barr virus-encoded latent membrane protein 1 activates NF-κB in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells.Methods A tetracycline-regulated LMP1-expressing nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line, Tet-on-LMP1-HNE2, was used as the cell model. The kinetics of the expression of proteins, including LMP1, IκBα and IκBβ, was analyzed by Western blotting. The subcellular localization of NF-κB (p65) was detected by indirect immunofluorescence assay. The NF-κB transactivity was studied by transient transfection and reporter gene assay. Results IκBα was phosphorylated and degraded after the inducible expression of LMP1, although the total protein levels remained stable. The steady-state level of total IκBβ protein may have resulted from the initiation of an autoregulation loop after the activation of NF-κB. No change in the IκBβ level was detected. NF-κB (p65) was translocated from the cytoplasm to the nucleus following degradation of IκBα. After the introduction of the dominant-negative mutant of IκBα (Del 71) into Tet-on-LMP1-HNE2 cells, both nuclear translocation and transactivation of NF-κB induced by LMP1 was significantly inhibited. Conclusions The results indicated that in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells, LMP1 activated NF-κB via phosphorylation and degradation of IκBα, but not IκBβ. The dominant-negative mutant of IκBα (Del 71) could completely inhibit both the nuclear translocation and transactivation of NF-κB induced by LMP1.

Objective To explore the effect of action observation therapy (AOT) on upper limb function in children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy,and the better program. Methods From March to November,2017,45 children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy were randomly assigned to control group and AOT group.The control group was further divided into group A(n=11)and group B(n=11), and received conventional rehabilitation treatment and scenic-observation therapy, 20 minutes every time for group A,and 30 minutes every time for group B.AOT group was further divided into group C(n=10)and group D (n=11), and received AOT in addition, 20 minutes every time for group C, and 30 minutes every time for group D,five times each week for twelve weeks for all the groups.Before treatment,eight and twelve weeks af-ter treatment, they were assessed with hand grip strength, Upper Extremities Functions Test (UEFT), and Wee Functional Independence Measure(WeeFIM). Results After treatment,the hand grip strength and the score of UEFT were better in group D than in groups B and C(P<0.05),and were better at twelve weeks than at eight weeks(P<0.05).No significant difference was found in the score of WeeFIM among groups after treatment(P>0.05). Conclusion AOT could improve upper limp function in children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy,and it's more ef-fective after more training.
