Objective To investigate the mental health status of patients with coronary artery stent implantation. Methods Symptom Checklist (SCL-90) was used to evaluate the mental health conditions of 218 patients after coronary artery stent implantation with man-machine conversation and computer evaluation. Results It was found that 48 cases in excellent mental health, accounting for 22.02%; 56 cases in good mental health condition, accounting for 25.69%; 82 cases in normal mental health condition, accounting for 37.61%; and 32 cases in poor mental health, accounting for 14.68%. In addition to the interpersonal factor, hostility and psychosis factors, the other six factors’overall average score was more than 2. More than 50% of the staff scored greater than 3, and their average positive factors were greater than 43 items in somatization, depression, anxiety and fear. Conclusion The patients after coronary artery stent implantation suffered from many psychological problems.

BACKGROUND: The preventative capabilities of enamel demineralization, rising from the fixed orthodontic treatment, have drawn tremendous attention in recent years. Despite a variety of investigations carried out by both domestic and foreign scholars, whereas, the results of ways to reduce the incidence of demineralization are never fully satisfactory or unified. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the inhibitory effect of Fluor protector on enamel demineralization based on clinical practices during fixed orthodontic treatment.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Contrast observation was performed in the Department of Stomatology, Qingdao Second Sanatorium, Jinan Military Area Command of Chinese PLA from January 2006 to January 2009. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 132 participants (856 teeth, aged 7-18 years, average age 10.5 years, 76 females and 56 males), who had wall-developed hardened dental tissues, no tetracycline pigmentation teeth, no dental fiuorosis, or anything that constricted in their teeth, were involved in the study. And all subjects were volunteers who had signed the informed consent form and agreed to receive dental treatment and periodic review.METHODS: All the teeth were randomly divided into two groups: experimental and control groups. Teeth for the experimental group were bonded with the supporting brackets with the Fluor protectors, whereas teeth for the control group did basically the same only without the Fluor protectors. After the fixed orthodontic treatment, the supporting devices were removed, all the teeth were fully washed, and then the conditions of the tooth surfaces were observed and documented in both experimental and control groups.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The detection rate of orthodontic enamel demineralization in the two groups alter the fixed orthodontic treatment.RESULTS: After evaluation of the results of both groups, the incidence rate of enamel demineralization in the experimental group (5.51%) was obviously lower than control group (15.1%).CONCLUSION: Fluor protector has a significantly positive effect on preventing enamel demineralizaUon dudng fixed orthodontic treatment.

AIM: To investigate the role of HGF/c-Met signaling pathway in crizotinib-induced apoptosis of different lung carcinoma cell lines and to analyze its potential regulatory mechanisms .METHODS: EML4-ALK positive cell line H2228, c-Met proliferation cell line H1993 and control cell line A549 were treated with crizotinib at different doses for different time periods .The viability of the cell lines was measured by MTT assay .The apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry with PI staining.The protein levels of MET and phosphorylated MET (p-MET) of HGF/c-Met signaling pathway as well as its down-stream key proteins AKT , ERK, p-AKT and p-ERK in the cell lines before and after crizotinib treatment were examined by Western blot .RESULTS:The growth of H1993, H2228 and A549 cell lines was inhibited after crizoti-nib treatment for 72 h in a dose-dependent manner .Apoptotic rates of H1993 cells and H2228 cells were increased with the crizotinib concentration and exposure time .Down-regulation of p-MET, p-AKT and p-ERK at protein levels in H1993 cells and H2228 cells after exposure to crizotinib for 72 h was confirmed by Western blot .No obvious change of the related-pro-teins of HGF/c-Met signaling pathway was found in A 549 cell line.CONCLUSION: HGF/c-Met signaling pathway may contribute to crizotinib-induced apoptosis of H1993 cells and H2228 cells, which provides the experimental basis for MET-targeting treatment of lung cancer .

The basic principles of medical ethics included respect and autonomy,beneficial and nonmaleficence,informed consent and confidentiality,impartiality and mutual assistance.During medical journal editing,medical ethics principles should be strictly applied.Focused on two types of medical thesis,medical scientific research and clinical trials,this paper concluded the ethics issues related to experimental animals,cells and gene researches,all these should be noticed in manuscripts.Meanwhile,this paper analyzed the ethics principles about contrast set and the use of placebo that should be abided in clinical trial,and the respects of patients'privacy during clinical observation,etc.Some review key points were put forward from the perspective of editors.

Objective To investigate the prognosis of patients with Kawasaki's disease complicated with coronary artery lesion and to provide evidence for diagnosis and treatment of these patients. Methods This study was conducted during January 2002 to June 2007. All patients diagnosed as Kawasaki's disease complicated with coronary artery lesions were from the Affiliated Hospital of Guilin Medical College, the Second People's Hospital of Guangxi Province and Guilin Women and Childrens' Hospital. All cases were echocardiogram examined in month 3, 6, 12, 24 and 36 in the purpose of observing the morphology of coronary artery. The study subjects were re-categorized to the groups of mild, moderate dilatation of coronary artery and giant coronary aneurysm, based on the severity of coronary artery lesion. The results of these results of the three groups were compared. Results Eighty-four cases in the mild group, 27 cases in the moderate group and 8 cases in the giant coronary aneurysm. The recovery cases were 23 (27%), 3 (11%) and 0 in the 3 groups respectively at month 3. The above numbers were 44 (52%), 8 (30%) and 0 respectively at month 6.The numbers were 69(82%), 13 (48%) and 1 (13%) at month 12. The numbers were 78 (93%), 19 (70%), 3 (38%) at month 24. The numbers were 82(98%), 20(74%) and 4(50%) at month 36. Thirteen patients were treated with adenosine-triphosphate (ATP) stress echocardiography examiantion, 5 patients were evaluated by coronary angiography,and 4 patients were tested by 64-slice CT coronary reconstruction. Part of the patients were found to have coronary stenosis or occlusion. Conclusion Patients of Kawasaki's disease often have concurrent coronary artery lesions. Patients with mild dilatation of the coronary artery are the most commonly seen and have the best prognosis. On the contrast, patients with giant coronary aneurysm are the lest common situation and is the worst in prognosis. Part of them will develop coronary artery stenosis or occlusion in late stage which may lead to ischemic heart disease. We should stress on close follow-up of patients with Kawasaki's disease complicated with coronary artery lesion. Appropriate and timely treatment will increase their clinical outcomes.
