ObjectiveTo investigate sleep disorder of patients with depression and find out the regularity.Methods78 depression cases in the east-region of Shenyang were evaluated by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire and mental health symptom checklist-90 (SCL-90). The results were contrasted with normal control group.Results63 depression cases (80%) had sleep disorder (PSQI scores≥8) and were significantly higher than normal control group. The PSQI evaluation showed that sleep quality, enter-sleep time, sleep efficiency, sleep disorder, hypnotige drugs, function of daytime and total scores of PSQI of the depression group were significantly higher than that of normal control group (P<0.05~0.01). The SCL-90 test showed that scores of somatic, obsessive, depressive, anxiety, phobia, paranoid and mental-illness, etc. and total quota of bad-sleep quality group were significantly higher than that of the fine-sleep quality group (P<0.05~0.01).ConclusionDepression patients have significantly descent in sleep quality, latter is often closely related to the mental psychotic expressiveness of somatic, obsession, depression, anxiety, phobia, etc.

Objective To evaluate the influence of different field-strength magnets(1.5 T and 3.0 T)on MRI artifacts caused by Ni-Cr alloy fixed prostheses.Methods The crown,bridge and upper denture fixed prostheses with different thickness were produced by Ni-Cr alloy as test samples,and were one by one put on the centre of water phantom for MR scanning with different field-strength magnets(1.5 T and 3.0 T).The artifact areas on these two field-strength magnets were measured and statistically compared.The plastic prostheses with the same shape and thickness as the test samples were served as controls.Results Ni-Cr alloy fixed prostheses could cause MRI artifacts,and the artifact areas increased with the mass of prostheses.However,no artifact area was found in controls.Compared with those on 1.5 T magnet,the MRI artifact areas significantly increased on 3.0 T magnet(P

Methods of ELISA, nonradioactive molecular hybridiz ation and RT-PCR were applied in the detection of rice grassy stunt virus (RGSV ). The detection sensitivity of indirect ELISA using antiserum against fusion p rotein GST-NC was 1 mg of infected leaves or 84 ng of purified virus. The metho d of dot hybridization using NC, a DIG-labelled DNA probe was 50 μg diseased l e aves, or 6 ng purified preparations. The detection endpoint of RT-PCR was 10 μg diseased leaves, or 2 ng purified virus preparation. Comparisons of sensitivit y and maneuverability were made among these methods.

Objective To explore the incidence,clinical status,risk factors and outcomes of invasive fungal infections(IFIs)after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) in pediatric patients.Methods Forty-one Patients who were underwent Allo-HSCT were selected from 2005 to 2006. Of 41 patients, 24 were boys and 17 were girls,aged 2-13 years old. Twenty-six cases with ?-thalassemia, 1 case with adrenoleukodystrophy,and the left 14 cases with other hematologic disorders.Twenty patients underwent bone marrow transplantation,19 patients underwent peripheral blood stem cell transplantation,2 patients underwent bone marrow transplantation and cord blood transplantation.Fourteen patients received Allo-HSCT from HLA-matched sibling donors or HLA mis-matched parents, 27 patients received Allo-HSCT from unrelated donors. Based on different types of transplant, patients were conditioned with busulfan, cyclophosphamide and Anti-thymocyte immune globulin. Fludalabine, total body irration, thiotepa or melphalan was used additionly in some cases. Cyclosporine A and mycophnolate mofetil were used as prophylaxis of graft versus host disease (GVHD).Results IFIs was observed in 5 cases(5/41 cases,12.2%),this comprised cases of proven,probable and possible IFIs at rates of 2.4%,4.9%,4.9%.The time of IFIs was 9-120 d after transplantation,the majority of IFIs in 3/5 cases(60%)children occurred within the first month.The difference of IFIs between patients who recived high-dose corticosteroid and those with no or conventional-dose corticosteroid was significant(?2=8.201 P=0.004);Regarding conditioning regimens,the IFIs of patients who with Thiotepa (TT) was significanthy higher than that of compared with those without TT(?2=9.549 P=0.002).The total effective rate was 40%.The effective rates of the patients with confimed diagnosis,cli-nical diagnosis,and with recommended diagnosis respectively were 100%,0 and 50% respectively.Conclusions IFIs is an important complication after Allo-HSCT,and the high-dose corticosteroid therapy and conditioning regimens with TT are the risky factors for IFIs.Aspergillus is the main pathogen bacteria.

· AIM: To explore the dynamic expression and correlation among telomerase catalytic subunit (TERT), proliferating cell nuclear antigen ( PCNA) and antiapoptosis protein Bd-2 which relate to cell proliferation in epiretinal membrane of rat traumatic proliferative vitreoretinopathy(PVR).· METHODS: S-P technique was applied for immunohistochemical staining of epiretinal membrane of traumatic PVR with TERT, PCNA and Bcl-2 antibody. HE staining was also carried out. The staining results were analyzed with image analysis system.· RESULTS: The positive rate and average A of PCNA protein were upregulated at first and then down-regulated, with the peak value in 14d Group, which was significantly different from those in 7d Group and 28d Group.The positive rate and average A of TERT and Bcl-2 were also upregulated at first and then down-regulated, with the peak value in 14d Group and 21d Group, which were significantly different from those in 7d Group. There was significant correlation among PCNA, Bcl-2 and TERT protein expression (P≤0.01).· CONCLUSTON: TERT and Bcl-2 take part in the regulation of proliferative cells in epiretinal membrane of traumatic proliferative PVR, with high correlation with the dynamic changes of cell proliferation.

The influence of inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm (TE) score on pregnancy outcomes in frozen-thawed blastocyst transfer cycles was analyzed. A retrospective analysis of 741 cycles of frozen-thawed blastosysts transfer was performed. All cycles were divided into four groups based on the number and morphological score of blastocysts: S-ICM B/TE B group (n=91), the single blastocyst transfer of ICM B and TE B; D-ICM B/TE B group (n=579), double blastocysts transfer of ICM B/TE B; D-ICM B/TE C group (n=35), double blastocysts transfer of ICM B/TE C; and D-ICM C/TE B group (n=36), double blastocysts transfer of TE B/ICM C. The pregnancy outcomes were compared among the four groups. As compared with D-ICM B/TE C group, the clinical pregnancy rate, implantation rate and multiple pregnancy rate were increased in D-ICM B/TE B group (74.96% vs. 57.14%, 57.43% vs. 37.14%, and 48.62% vs. 25%, respectively, P<0.05 for all). Clinical pregnancy rate and implantation rate in D-ICM B/TE B group were also higher than in D-ICM C/TE B group (74.96% vs. 50%, and 57.43% vs. 33.33%, both P<0.05). Multivariable Logistic regression analysis indicated that ICM score was a better predictive parameter for clinical pregnancy (OR=3.05, CI 1.70-5.46, P<0.001), while the trophectoderm score was a better one for early abortion (OR=0.074, CI 0.03-0.19, P<0.001). Clinical pregnancy rate and multiple pregnancy rate in S-ICM B/TE B group were significantly lower than those in D-ICM B/TE B group (46.15% vs. 74.96%, and 2.38% vs. 48.62%, both P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the implantation rate between the two groups. It was suggested that the higher score of ICM and TE may be indicative of the better pregnancy outcomes. The ICM score is a better predictor of clinical pregnancy than TE, while TE score is a better one in predicting early abortion. Single ICM B/TE B blastocyst transfer in frozen-thawed cycles can also get satisfactory pregnancy outcomes.
