ObjectiveTo investigate the depression and anxiety state of heart transplantation patients. MethodsFifty-weight heart transplantation outpatients were assessed by Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA) in Zhongshan Hospital during October 2010 to April 2011.Those diagnosed with depression disorder should meet the criteria of depression in Chinese Classification of Mental Disorder-3nd version (CCMD-3) and the score of HAMD≥14,and those diagnosed with anxiety disorder should meet the criteria of anxiety disorder CCMD-3 and the score of HAMA≥ 14.The diagnoses of concurrent depression and anxiety were made.Results The prevalence of depression disorder and anxiety disorder was respectively 15.5％ (9/58) and 22.5％ (13/58).The prevalence of depression disorder and anxiety disorder within 12 months was respectively 16.7％ (2/12) and 33.3％ (4/12).The score of HAMD was positively related to HAMA score (P＜0.01 ).ConclusionThe prevalence of depression disorder and anxiety disorder is very high and the co-existence of depression and anxiety is very common.

Objective: To observe the effects of Jinqi Jiangtang Tablet, a compound Chinese herbal medicine, on serum matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) level and MMP-9 expression in peripheral blood monocytes of rats with streptozocin-induced diabetes. Methods: Thirty Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group, untreated group and Jinqi Jiangtang Tablet group. Diabetes in rats was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozocin (70mg/kg body weight). After model building, rats in the Jinqi Jiangtang Tablet group were administered with Jinqi Jiangtang tablets at a dose of 0.8 g/(kg·d) for 6 weeks and rats in the control group and the untreated group were treated with normal saline. After treatment, level of fasting serum glucose was detected by hexokinas method; serum MMP-9 level was tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; MMP-9 expression in peripheral blood monocytes was measured by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and Western blot method. Results: After treatment, fasting serum glucose level in the Jinqi Jiangtang Tablet group was less than that in the untreated group (P<0.05). After modeling, the serum MMP-9 level of rats in the untreated group was (9.11±3.55) μg/L and that in Jinqi Jiangtang Tablet group was (8.97±3.07) μg/L, which were higher than that in the control group ((4.39±1.44) μg/L) (P<0.01). After gavage, the level of serum MMP-9 was lower in Jinqi Jiangtang Tablet group than in the untreated group (P<0.05). The expression of MMP-9 in peripheral blood monocytes in the untreated group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). The MMP-9 expression in peripheral blood monocytes of rats with diabetes was down-regulated by Jinqi Jiangtang Tablet (P<0.05). Conclusion: Jinqi Jiangtang Tablet can decrease the level of serum MMP-9 and down-regulate the MMP-9 expression in peripheral blood monocytes at both mRNA and protein levels in rats with diabetes.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the genetic polymorphisms of glutathione S-Transferase M1,T1 and the susceptibility to sporadic colorectal adenocarcinoma(SCRAC) and smoking and alcohol consumption in Chinese Hans.Methods Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (M-PCR) was used in the study of genetic polymorphisms of GSTM 1,T1 gene.Logistic analysis was performed to elucidate the roles of GSTM1,GST1,smoking and alcohol.Results The null GSTM1,T1 genotypes could increase the susceptibility to SCRAC(OR=1.711,95% CI:1.043～2.805;OR=1.734,95% CI:1.057～2.843),but smoking and alcohol consumption made no significant effect on SCRAC(OR=0.584,95% CI:0.356～0.958;OR=0.378.95% CI:0.217～0.657).Further stratification of the SCRAC patients by chnical features showed that there were no relationship between the GST M1,T1 genotype and the age of the SCRAC patients.But the frequency of null GSTM1 genotype was significantly associated with distal colon adenocarcinoma (P=0.021),colorectal adenocarcinoma of Dukes C classification (P=0.003) and poor difierentiation (P=0.020),respectively.The frequency of null GSTF1 genotype was only higher in colorectal adenocarcinoma of Dukes C classification(P=0.041).No relationship was found between the location,the degree of differentiation and the frequency of null GSTF1 genotype(P＞0.05).Furthermore,the frequencies of homozygous deletion in GSTM1,T1 genes were found to be significantly increased in SCRAC patients than those in healthy controls(38.9%VS25.7%.P=0.023).Conclusion The GST genotype is strongly correlated with SCRAC incidence in Chinese Hans.The null GSTM1,T1 genotypes can enhance the genetic susceptibility to SCRAC.while smoking and alcohol consumption have no significant effect on the susceptibility to SCRAC.

Objective To explore the association of genetic polymorphism of fucosyltransferase (FUT) 2 and FUT3 and expression of Lewis antigen with ulcerative colitis (UC) in Chinese Zhejiang Han population.Methods We genotyped FUT2 (rs281377, rs1047781 and rs601338) and FUT3 (rs28362459, rs3745635 and rs3894326) in 485 UC patients and 580 healthy controls using SNaPshot. By immunohistochemistry method, we also evaluated expression of Lewis a and b antigens in the sigmoid colon of 10 UC patients and 10 patients with benign colonic polyps.Results The frequencies of mutant allele (A) and genotype (GA+AA) in FUT3 rs3745635 were higher in UC patients than in controls (P=0.016, 95%CI 1.339-1.699;P=0.038, 95%CI 1.330-1.742, respectively). Stratified analyses revealed that the frequencies of mutant allele (G) and genotype (TG+GG) of FUT3 rs28362459 were significantly lower in patients with extensive colitis than in those with distal colitis (P=0.001, 95%CI 0.567-0.786;P<0.001, 95%CI 0.503-0.742, respectively). Similar conclusions were drawn for the mutant allele (A) and genotype (GA+AA) of FUT3 rs3745635 in patients with extensive colitis compared to those with distal colitis (P=0.011, 95%CI 0.621-0.900;P=0.006, 95%CI 0.553-0.845, respectively). Although expression of Lewis b antigen in the sigmoid colon did not differ between UC patients and controls, Lewis a antigen expression was higher in the crypt epithelium of both inflammatory and non-inflammatory sigmoid colon of UC patients than in controls (P=0.028).Conclusion Polymorphisms of FUT3 and expression level of Lewis a antigen might be associated with UC.

OBJECTIVETo discuss the efficacy of the myogenic elephant skin cream combining with VSD for treating severe bedsores.

METHODSTwenty-nine cases of III and IV degree bedsores were treated from June 2009 to June 2013. Among them, 15 cases were treated by myogenic elephant skin cream combined with VSD (VSD group) including 7 males and 8 females with an average age of (69.0±5.3) years old ranging from 17 to 96 years;other 14 cases were treated by the treatment of conventional dressing change (control group) including 6 males and 8 females with an average age of (71.0±4.2) years old ranging from 40 to 86 years. At 7, 14, 21, 28 d after treatments, specimens of wound two groups were respectively taken to examine immunohistochemical CD34 adopted SABC, the number of wild vascular cross were observed as capillary density value under high magnification microscope. It was used to assess the hyperplasia of granulation tissue of wound. The capillary density value and the visual wound observation were indicators for evaluation of clinical efficacy.

RESULTSSeventeen of 19 cases got complete data of specimens of wound at 7, 14, 21, 28 d,included 9 cases of VSD group,8 of control group. In the microscope view, the capillary density of VSD group was higher than that of control group significantly (P<0.05), it showed the application of VSD technology improved hyperplasia of granulation tissue much faster than conventional dressing change. In VSD group, 13 cases with 15 wounds healed, 2 cases with 3 wounds improved; in control group,3 cases with 3 wounds healed,7 cases with 9 wounds improved, 4 cases with 5 wounds were unhealed.

CONCLUSIONUsing the VSD technology with continuous high pressure suction to clean the drainage of wound and lacuna thoroughly can effectively control infection,promote the growth of granulation tissue, and then applying myogenic elephant skin cream to improve partial blood supply while prompting rapid growth of new granulation tissue and epithelial cell. The risk of this treatment is low,and the course of treatment is short, this provides a safe and effective method for treating bedsores.

Objective To evaluate the functional outcomes and complications of patients with bone tumors who were treated with the excision-alcoholization-replantation (EAR) method. Methods From August 1965 to August 2003, 191 patients treated with the EAR method who had suitable follow-up were evaluated in our department, including 102 males and 89 females with an average age of 20 years (range, 10-62). On the basis of Enneking tumor staging, 136 patients were identified II B stage, 25 I B stage, and 30 invasive benign tumors and tumor-like lesion. The length of the resected part ranged from 5 cm to 26 cm, with marginal resection in 30 cases, wide resection in 116. The oncological parameters that were evaluated included survival of the patients, local recurrence, and metastasis. Complications included non-union, infection, and fracture of the grafts. Mankin evaluation system was used to assess functional outcomes. Results The mean follow-up time was 32 months (range, 1-372), 52 patients died with disease at the final follow-up. Five-year survival rates of high grade sarcoma and low grade sarcoma were 59% and 90%, respectively, with statistical significance (P=0.02). Lung metastasis were demonstrated in 52 patients (27.2%, 52/191), 51 (26.7%, 51/191) had local recurrence. Except the tumor factor, the total complication rate was 50.3%(96/191). Local complications included 33 nonunion (17.3%, 33/191), 39 fracture of the grafts (20.4%, 39/191), 39 infections of the graft (20.4%, 39/191), 15 fracture of internal fixation (7.9%, 15/191), 5 instability or semiluxation of the joint (2.6%, 5/191). The 5-year survival rate of inactivated bone was 55%. On the basis of Mankin functional evaluation, the satisfied rate was 50.3%. At last there were 141 patients (73.8%, 141/191) preserved their extremities. Conclusion Compared to other methods in the same period, EAR method is considered on the same level of safety in oncology, which superiorities are economic-applicable to patients and the well fitness of bone graft with the defects.
