Chinese Journal of Prevention and Control of Chronic Diseases 2006;0(02):-
Objective To explore the mental state of family members of neurosis patients, and to observe the effect of psychological intervention on these people. Methods The families of neurosis patients were randomly divided into experimental group (psychological intervention) and control group (no psychological intervention). Group or individual psychological consultations were performed in experimental group, and the intervention effect was evaluated with self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) scores method and was compared between experimental group and control group. Results The SAS score was 38.84?5.34 before psychological intervention and 29.43?2.99 after psychological intervention, respectively, and it had significant differences between before and after psychological intervention treatment, but no significant difference in control group. The effect of psychological intervention was correlated with age, education condition, occupation and habitation. Conclusion Mental problems exists in the family members of neurosis inpatients, and the psychological intervention can improve their psychological obstacle and ease anxiety, which benefits not only to the relatives' health but also to the neurosis patients' therapy and restoration.

Objective To investigate the effect and the mechanism of parecoxib sodium pretreatment on permeability of blood-brain barrier in a rat model of focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.Methods Sixty male SD rats weighing 300g were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=12 each):sham operation group (group S);focal cerebral I/R group (group I/R);parecoxib sodium 5 mg/kg pretreatment group (group L);parecoxib sodium7.5mg/kg pretreatment group (group M);parecoxib sodium 10 mg/kg pretreatment group (group H) Middle cerebral artery occlusion models were made by reforming Longa suture method in SD rats.Thirty minutes before ischemia,rats in group L,M and H were injected with 5 mg/kg、7.5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg parecoxib sodium through the internal jugular vein.Group S and group I/R received equal volume of normal saline.ELISA technique was used to determine the content of S100 β,TNF-α,IL-1 β in Plasma.The changes of cerebral water content and the Evans Blue exudation from brain capillaries were observed.Results Pretreated with parecoxib sodium (5mg/kg、7.5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg),the content of S100 β,TNF-α,II-1 β in plasma were reduced.The cerebral water content and the EB in brain were reduced.Pretreated with parecoxib sodium 10 mg/kg,Longa scores were reduced.Conclusion Pretreatment with Parecoxib can protect blood-brain barrier against focal cerebral I/R injury by inhibition of the inflammatory reaetion.

Objective To explore the risk factors of cerebral schistosomiasis japonica. Methods A total of 37 confirmed cases,diagnosed during 1999-2004 in Anhui Province,were involved in the study as case group. Three controls for each case were selected from the general population either without schistosomiasis,with chronic schistosomiasis or with acute schistosomiasis. The relevant risk factors on the disease were analyzed. Results Four factors with labour intensity, physical, economical and nutritional conditions before illness between case group and normal control group, 7 factors including epilepsy history, hypersensitivity,intensity and times of infection between case group and acute schistosomiasis control group,10 factors including intensity of infection,times of infection and treatment between case group and chronic schistosomiasis control group, all showed statistical significance (p

Background and purpose: Malignant tumors often relapsed or metastasized after first-line chemotherapy and needed second-line or above treatment. We conducted this study to deifne the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of lobaplatin with ifxed docetaxel for Chinese patients in previously treated solid tumors. Methods:Escalating doses of lobaplatin with fixed docetaxel were administered in a modified Fibonacci sequence. The initial doses were lobapla-tin 30 mg/m2 and docetaxel 60 mg/m2, respectively. Escalating doses was 5 mg/m2. The regimen was repeated every 21 days. If no dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was observed, the next dose level was applied. The procedures were repeated until DLT appeared. The MTD was declared to be one dose level below the level at which DLT appeared. Results:Seventeen patients received fifty-eight cycles chemotherapy at lobaplatin of levelⅠ(30mg/m2), levelⅡ(35 mg/m2)and levelⅢ(40 mg/m2). Cases of complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD) and progression disease (PD) for the whole group were 0, 1, 10 and 3, respectively. Response rate (RR, CR+PR) and disease control rate (DCR, CR+PR+SD) were 7.1%(1/14) and 78.6%(11/14), respectively. The most common toxicity was leukopenia. Three DLTs occurred in 3 patients in the whole group, including 2 DLTs in dose levelⅢ. We declared thus levelⅡwas MTD. Conclusion:MTD of lobaplatin in our re-search was 35 mg/m2 combined with fixed dose of docetaxel. This combination regimen was well tolerated.

Objective To study the predictive values of the general movements (GMs) assessment in writhing stage for motor development outcomes in infants with severe neonatal jaundice.Method From December of 2012 to December of 2017,infants with severe neonatal jaundice (serum bilirubin reaching the corresponding level of exchange transfusion according to the reference nomogram) in our hospital were enrolled in the study.Inclusion criteria included corrected gestational age of 37 to 48 weeks,serum bilirubin level below phototherapy intervention value after treatment and general and detailed assessment were carried out in writhing stage when the infant was stable.The patients were regularly followed-up until one-year-old to evaluate the predictive values.Result A total of 241 patients with severe neonatal jaundice were enrolled in the study,including 153 males (63.5%) and 88 females (36.5%),with gestational age between 35 and 42 weeks.The mean gestational age was (37.9± 1.8) weeks,the average birth weight was (3 057±480) g,and the mean serum bilirubin value was (458.9± 119.1) μmol/L.The general evaluation of the GMs was normal in 15 cases (6.2%),and abnormal in 226 cases (93.8%) with 217 cases (90.0%) were poor repertoire (PR) and 9 cases (3.7%) were cramped-synchronized (CS).The predictive values of abnormal GMs for abnormal motor development outcomes were as following:sensitivity 100%,specificity 7.6%,negative predictive value(NPV) 100%.The predictive values of CS for cerebral palsy were as following:sensitivity 22.2%,specificity 97.8%,NPV 94.0%.Detailed evaluation of 241 subjects showed that 13 items had statistically significant differences in the prediction of cerebral palsy (P<0.05),and 18 items in the prediction of abnormal motor development (P<0.05).Conclusion The CS pattern and detailed assessment of GMs in the writhing stage may be correlated with the outcomes of motor development in infants with severe neonatal jaundice until one-year-old.
