Objective To compare the effect and safety of venlafaxine sustained-release tablet combined with Shuganjieyu capsule and venlafaxine sustained-release tablet used singlely in the treatment of moderate to severe poststroke depression.Methods 70 patients suffered from moderate to severe post-stroke depression were randomly divided into two groups,35 cases in each group.The patients in the control group were only treated with venlafaxine sustained-release tablet,and the patients in the study group were treated by venlafaxine sustained-release tablet combined with Shuganjieyu capsule.The treatment lasted 6 weeks.The therapeutic effect and safety were evaluated by the positive and negative syndrome scale of HAMD (17 items),and treatment emergent symptom scale of TESS.Results After treatment for 6 weeks,the total effective rate of the study group was 88.57％,which was significantly higher than 65.71％ of the control group (x2 =5.19,P ＜ 0.05).The HAM D score of the study group w.as (16.42 ± 6.07) points,and the HAMD score of the control group was(10.54 ± 5.23) points after 6 weeks.The difference was statistically significant between the two groups (t =4.34,P ＜ 0.01).The difference of TESS score between two groups was not significant(t =0.18,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Venlafaxine sustained-release tablet combined with Shuganjieyu capsule is effective and safe in the treatment of moderate to severe post-stroke depression.

Objective To assess the clinical characteristics,diagnosis and treatment of intussusception in adults. Methods The clinical data of 40 intussusception patients treated in our hospital from 1971 to 2001 were reviewed. Results The clinical manifestations mainly included abdominal pain, abdominal distention,vomit, abdominal mass, bloody stool or constipation. Patients with the triad signs of abdominal pain, abdominal mass and bloody stool only accounted for 17.4% (7/40). Those who had an acute attack of intestinal obstruction were usually diagnosed as acute mechanical intestinal obstruction, and in which intestinal strangulation took place more easily. Those who had a chronic process often had incomplete intestinal obstruction and were easily misdiagnosed.Of the 40 patients,39 underwent operation,37 cured, 2 died; and another one was cured by barium enema restoration. Conclusions B ultrasonography was helpful in early diagnosis. Bowel tumor, bowel polypus, inflammatory bowel diseases and anatomic abnormality are the main predisposing causes. So resection of the involved intestine would be the proper measure for eradication of the causes and prevention of recurrence.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect and quality of life of clopidogrel combined with atorvastatin in the treatment of cerebral infrction.Methods 74 patients with cerebral infarction were randomly divided into study group and control group, 37 cases in each group.The control group applied the traditional treatment methods, and the study group were treated with drug combination therapy ( clopidogrel +fluvastatin) on the basis of the control group.After 1 course (6 months), the scores of neurological function and activity, clinical efficacy and quality of life of the two groups were observed and compared.Results National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale ( NIHSS) and Fugl-Meyer were significantly improved in the two groups at discharge (P<0.05), but the improvement degree of the study group was significantly better than the control group (P<0.05).In the control group, 7 cases were ineffective, the effective rate was 81.1%, while the study group was 3 cases, the effective rate was 91.9%, with statistically significant differences(P<0.05), The study group were significantly better than the control group (P<0.05) in the physiological, environmental, health status and quality of life, but the difference was not statistically significant in the psychological and social dimensions.Conclusion Clopidogrel combined with fluvastatin in treating cerebral infarction could significantly improve the treatment efficiency, effectively control blood lipid levels of patients, and improve nerve function and activity ability of patients, and ultimately improve the quality of life of patients.

Objective To explore the expression of ribosomal protein L6 (RPL6) in prostate cancer and its clinical sig-nificance. Methods RT-qPCR and Western blot assay were used to measure the mRNA transcription and protein expres-sion levels of RPL6 in prostate cancer tissues (n=80) and adjacent non-cancerous tissues (n=62). The relationship between RPL6 mRNA expression level and clinicopathological factors of prostate cancer was statistically analyzed. Results The mRNA and protein expression levels of RPL6 were significantly higher in prostate cancer tissues compared with those of non-cancerous tissues (P<0.05). There were higher serum expression levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA) and higher Gleason score in prostate cancer tissues. The expression level of RPL6 mRNA was significantly higher in patients with lymph node metastasis and late clinical stage (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in PSA levels between different ages, with or without seminal vesicle invasion and different surgical margin status (P>0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis of biochemical recurrence (BCR)-free survival time showed the significantly lower recurrent rate in patients with high RPL 6 mRNA expression(χ2=4.530,P=0.033). Conclusion The elevated expression of RPL6 may play a role in the development of prostate cancer, and which can be used as a tumor marker to assess the prognosis of prostate cancer.

OBJECTIVE:To probe into the status quo and problems of the prescriptions of rural clinics in a national level poverty-stricken county so as to provide reference for standardizing rural physicians' drug use behavior and facilitating a smooth development of new rural cooperative medical care.METHODS:A total of 962 prescriptions from June 2007 to June 2008 in rural clinics of a county in Chongqing municipality collected by sociological investigation were described and analyzed in respect of the structure of patients,diagnoses of diseases and drug use by descriptive statistical method.RESULTS:The patients visiting rural clinics were mainly young adults and patients with common diseases;the use of Chinese traditional medicine was on the low side;the writing of some prescriptions were nonstandard;and abuse of antibiotics,hormones and injections were widespread.CONCLUSION:Prescription management and the training of rural physicians should be strengthened to promote the rational drug use in rural poverty-stricken area.

Objective To study the expression of CD44 gene in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) tissue and the relationship with prognosis.Methods The expressions of CD44 gene in 36 specimens from 36 patients with NSCLC were determined by RT-PCR and all the patients were followed up for 3 years.Results CD44 gene was excessively expressed in 21 of 36 specimens of NSCLC tissues,excessive expression rate was 58.3%.The expression of CD44 mRNA in NSCLC tissue was related to metastasis of lymph node(?2 =9.787,P

Objective To investigate the changes of telomerase activity after knocking down endogenous expression of T-STAR (testes-signal transduction and activator of RNA) gene in human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549 by antisense strategy. Methods The mRNA and protein expression of T-STAR gene were determined by RT-PCR and Western blotting, and the telomerase activity was measured by PCR-ELISA, after transfection of T-STAR antisense gene into A549 cells with lipofectamine. Sense pcDNA-STAR and blank pcDNA3.1 transfection served as control. Results The expression of T-STAR gene was significantly inhibited at mRNA and protein level, and the telomerase activity was significantly decreased. Conclusion The down-regulation of telomerase activity may result from inhibition of T-STAR gene expression in lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells.
