Objective To evaluate the effect of therapeutic touch on continuous positive airway pressure titration with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) patients.Methods Fortyeight patients diagnosed with OSAHS were randomly allocated to the therapeutic group and the control group with 24 patients in each group.Therapeutic touch was used in the therapeutic group before CPAP titration and the control group received usual care.Anxiety was measured post intervention with State-trait Anxiety Inventory(SAI) and Visual Analogue Scale(VAS).CPAP therapy satisfaction was also evaluated by VAS.Results Compared with the control group,those patients with therapeutic touch showed significant reductions in SAI scores,better sleep quality,and higher satisfaction with CPAP treatment.Conclusions Results suggest that 15-min of therapeutic touch pre CPAP titration night significantly reduced anxiety and improved sleep quality in patients with OSAHS.

Objective To investigate the effect of the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) on the occurrence,development of post-stroke depression (PSD).Methods The literatures on the relationship between 5-HT and PSD were selected from databases such as Wanfang Data,CNKI and PubMed before in 2010-2014.According to absorption and exclusion criteria of the literature,collect literatures,and summary,induce and analyze on them.Results Search 258 literatures and accept 44 literatures accorded with the criteria,including the relationship between 5-HT and PSD,the relationship between 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor (5-HTR) gene polymorphism and PSD,the relationship between 5-hydroxytryptamine transporter linked promoter region (5-HTTLPR) and PSD,and the treatment of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) in PSD.Conclusion Reduced levels of 5-HT lead to the occurrence of PSD,and they had a negative correlation;5-HTR 1 A,5-HTR2A are related genes of PSD;S allele and S/S genotype is susceptible factors of PSD,while the L allele is the protective factors of PSD;SSRIs can increase the level of 5-HT in the synaptic gap so as to improve the depressive symptoms of PSD.In the future,it is necessary to increase the sample size to confirm the relationship between 5-HT and PSD,and combine with other factors to explore the relationship between them.

Post-stroke aphasia is an acquired language disorder caused by stroke.It impaired the quality of life of patients and brought a heavy burden to family and the society.Unfortunately,the highly variable predictive factors make the prognosis of aphasia recovery difficult.Much of the researches indicated that the post-stroke aphasia recovery is associated with the patient-related and stroke-related factors.We searched the recent advances on the influence of patient-related factors and stroke-related factors on aphasia recovery.It showed that patient-related factors have no obvious effect on predicting aphasia recovery while the lesion (stroke)-related factors appeared close correlation with post-stroke aphasia recovery.The clinicians should pay more attention on lesion (stroke)-related factors when evaluate the outcome and give the intervention measures.

Objective To summarize the nursing points of 30 patients undergoing radical prostatectomy of endometrial cancer with DaVinci Robot.Method The clinical histories of patients undergoing radical prostatectomy of endometrial cancer with DaVinci Robot from May 2010 to April 2014 in the Second Artillery General Hospital of Chinese People’s Liberation Army were analyzed retrospectively.Result All 30 patients were discharged successfully with 2 postoperative uroschesis,1 lower extremity varicose veins,10 subcutaneous emphysema.Conclusion Perfect preoperative nursing is the guarantee for the success of radical prostatectomy of endometrial cancer with DaVinci Robot.

Objective To investigate the relationship between polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) susceptibility single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and metabolic phenotypes in glucose and lipid metabolism and explore the pathophysiological mechanism of the susceptibility genes.Methods Three of PCOS susceptibility locus 2p16.3 (rs13405728 of LHCGR gene),2p21 (rs13429458,rs12478601 of THADA gene) and 9q33.3 (rs2479106,rs10818854 of DENNDIA gene) were selected and the metabolic phenotypes were compared between different genotypes of SNP in PCOS patients (using dominant model).Results Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol was significantly increased in CC genotype group than in TC + TT groups at rs12478601 of THADA gene [(2.5 ± 0.8),(2.4 ± 0.8) mmol/L; P =0.01].Serum insulin level of 2 hours after 75 g glucose intake was significantly higher in GG + AG groups than that of AA group at rs2479106 of DENND1A gene[(71 ±65),(64 ±50) mU/L;P =0.05],and the prevalence of type Ⅱ diabetes in first-degree relatives of patients were also increased [9.9％ (66/666),6.9％ (52/751) ; P ＜ 0.05].No association was found between metabolic phenotypes and genotypes of rs13429458,rs10818854,and rs13405728.Conclusions Genetic factors probably have effect on the metabolic characteristics of PCOS.THADA gene is related to lipid metabolism,while DENND1A gene may be involved in insulin metabolism in patients with PCOS.

Objective: Our aim was to investigate the polymorphism and forensic meaning of the Y-chromosomal loci DYS390 and DYS389Ⅰ/Ⅱ in Han nationality in Liaoning Province. Methods: By amplifying these loci with polymorase chain reaction (PCR) followed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and silver staining, the allele frequencies of these loci among 98 unrelated men of Han nationality were investigated. Results: Five alleles with different frequencies from 0.010 to 0.480 were detected of DYS390， and three alleles with different frequencies from 0.224 to 0.439 were detected of DYS 389Ⅰ. Locus DYS 389Ⅱ was detected in five alleles and the frequencies ranged from 0.020 to 0.367. The probability discrimination of these loci were 0.637, 0.644 and 0.723. These loci were found to generate at least 31 different haplotypes and the power of discrimination was 0.948. Conclusion: The loci DYS390 and DYS389Ⅰ/Ⅱ are very important when detect mixed samples, especially in deficiency cases of paternity test.

Objective Construct the lentiviral AQP1 vector and explore whether it can transfect the myocyte or not,then test the law of the AQP1 expression and the edema in the successfully transducted myocytes after cardiopulmonary bypass in sheeps.Methods Design cleavage primer according to ovine AQP1mRNA,clone it into expressing vector and transducated into the 293T cells with other packing vectors to produce the lentiviral AQP1 vector,then test the virus titer.36 adult healthy sheeps are randomly divided into blank or AQP1-lentiviral transfected group,blank or AQP1-lentiviral vector suspension was injected in the ventricle tissue of healthy adult sheeps during cardiopulmonary bypass and take specimen in different time points (2,6,12,24,48,72 h)after extracorporeal circulation,3 in each group.Realtime-PCR WesternBlot ELISA FACS immumofluorescent and Dry/Wet methods are emploied to detect the expression of AQP1 and the according degree of edema.Results lentiviral AQP1 vector was successfully construced and transducated into the myocytes.The tranducated groups have the same trend of AQP1 of expression and cardiac edema after cardiopulmonary bypass compared to the blank vector group,but the degree is heavier(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Lentivral AQP1 vector can successfully transfect the myoctyes,and the overexpressed myocardial tissue have the same trend of AQP1 expression and edema after cardiopulmonary bypass,but with a heaver degree.The expression of aquaporins was positively relevant to the edema.
