Objective To study the relationship between cognitive dysfunction and depression and event-related potential(ERP) in patients with silent brain infarction(SBI).Methods 68 SBI patients were tested by the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale for Depression(HAMD),scale of mini mental state examination(MMSE)and ERP;and the results were compared with those in 55 patients without cerebral infarction(control group).Results In the SBI group,the HAMD score was ≥17 in 31(45.6%)cases(depression subgroup)and

Objective To explore the content and gene expression of endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS) in heart of hyperlipidemia apoE-/- mice. Methods apoE-/- mice were fed with high fat diet as high-fat diet group (n= 7) and normal fat diet as control group (n = 6) for 12 weeks. Serum lipid profiles including total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) were detected, eNOS mRNA expression in heart were determined by Real-Time RT-PCR, as well as protein expression by immunohistochemistry. Results Levels of serum TC, TG and LDL clearly increased in high fat diet group, while HDL decreased (P< 0. 01). mRNA and protein expression of eNOS in heart reduced in high fat diet group(P<0.01). Conclusions High fat diet may lead to hyperlipidemia in apoE-/- mice, which may down-regulate eNOS expression and decrease eNOS content in heart.

Objective To investigate the possible mechanism of Compounded Sour Medicinal Herbs (CSMH) in preventing and amelioration type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) rats chronic complication, by analyzing the effects of CSMH on the deposition of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and gene expression of their receptor myocardial tissue in T2DM rats. Methods The rats were injected with streptozotocin (STZ) through peritoneum, and fed with high-fat and high-caloric diets to induce T2DM animal models. Then the rats were randomly divided into three groups:untreated group (model group), AG treated group and CSMH treated group. The deposition of AGEs and gene expression of RAGE in the myocardial tissue of T2DM rats were detected separately by fluorescence and real time PCR method. Results The deposition of AGEs and gene expression of their receptor in myocardial tissue in control group were lower than that of T2DM rats (P

With the further expansion of the connotations of the quality of medical services and the establishment of the bio psycho social medical model, it has become necessary to redefine quality evaluation of medical services. The authors give their interpretation of the quality of medical services and its evaluation from several perspectives, discuss the goals of quality evaluation of medical services, and expound in a rational manner the entire process and content of quality evaluation. On the basis of this, they make a comment on previous quality evaluation units and methods and put forward the tentative idea of conducting overall quality evaluation of whole process medical services.

Objective:To observe the effect of soluble CD14 (sCD14) on the inducing activity of lipopolysaccharide(LPS) on human gingival fibroblasts(HGFs). Methods:In vitro cultured HGFs were stimulated by FITC labeled LPS at the concentration of 0 (control), 100 ng/ml, 100 ng/ml LPS+100 ?g/ml sCD14 and 100 ng/ml LPS+100 ?g/ml ENP respectively for 24 h. The binding activity of LPS to HGFs was measured in the level of mean fluorescence intensity of FITC-LPS.TNF-? and IL-6 in the culture supernatant were measured by ELISA. Results:The binding activity of FITC-LPS to HGFs and the level of TNF-? and IL-6 in culture supernatant were significantly decreased in sCD14 and ENP group(P

Objective To observe the changes of nitric oxide(NO), nitric oxide synthase(NOS),and endothelin(ET) contents in plasma after acute cerebral infarction(ACI), And to evaluate the therapeutic effect of nimodipine on their changes.Methods 110 cases with ACI were randomly divided into Nimodipine therapeutic group(Nimodipine is used with general therapy,Nimodipine group) and general therapeutic group(general group). NO, NOS and ET contents in plasma at different time after ACI were observed, while control group was set up.Results ET content in plasma after ACI increased significantly until recovery. NO and NOS contents in plasma rise at the beginning, then they declined. ET contents had significant difference between Nimodipine group and general group( P 0.05).Conclusion NO, NOS and ET interfered with the complex process of pathologic after acute cerebral infarction. Nimodipine had therapeutic action on ACI partly depended on affecting content of ET in plasma.

Objective To evaluate the reliability of transcranial doppler (TCD) in detection spasm of middle cerebral artery (MCA),vertebral artery (VA ) and basilar artery (BA).Methods TCD and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) examination were undertaken in 50 patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage.Results Arterial spasm was diagnosed in 26 MCA by DSA,21 of which were detected by TCD at same time.4 MCA were showed by TCD but not confirmed by DSA. The sensitivity and specificity of TCD in diagnosing MCA spasm were 80.8% and 84.0% respectively. Higher sensitivity was revealed in those with severe MCA spasm. DSA also found out asterial spasm of BA in 18 BA,among which 13 arteries were detected by TCD simutaneously.4 BA were diagnosed by TCD but not proved by DSA. The sensitivity and the specificity of TCD in diagnosing BA spasm were 72.2% and 76.5% respectively.28 VA were diagnosed by DSA,among which 20 arteries were proved by TCD.6 VA were detected by TCD but not proved by DSA. The sensitivity and specificity of TCD in diagnosing VA spasm were 71.4% and 76.9% respectively.Conclusion TCD is reliable in diagnosing the spasm of MCA,BA and VA.

Disseminated malignancy is the main cause of cancer-related death.The spontaneous circulation of tumor cells is responsible for distant metastasis;therefore it is of potential importance to specifically and sensitively detect the circulating tumor cells,which not only allows for more accurate prediction of cancer prognosis,but also helps to tailor individualized anticancer treatment.This paper reviews the enrichment,detection and analyzing methods of circulating tumor cells.

The foundation of the health equipment overhaul joint logistic system in the army is suited for the new military affairs' change.As a grass-root unit,the third class servicing station perfects the support system.The significance and requirements of establishing economic support system are discussed in such aspects as enforcement of information communication,emphasis on demands information collection,improvement of servicing quality,boost in support response speed,training for equipment operation,etc.
