Objective To investigate the effect of cognitive behavioral intervention on depression state and compliance of senile patients with cerebral apoplexy. Methods 46 senile patients with cerebral apoplexy were divided into the intervention group(22 cases)and the control group(24 cases).The control group was given conventional treatment and nursing,based onthe above methods,cognitive behavioral intervention was added to the intervention group,6 weeks were taken as one treatment course.Using self-rating depression scale(SDS) and self-made compliance questionnaire to evaluate the depression and compliance before and after 6 weeks of treatment. Results The SDS score was obviously lower,the treatment compliance was better in the intervention group after 6 weeks compared with the control group. Conclusions The cognition behavioral intervention is helpful to improve the depression of senile patients with cerebral apoplexy,enhance the treatment compliance and improve patients' quality of life.

ObjectiveTo investigate the tossing and turning time of the stuporous patients while using the bedsore mat blowing out gas.Methods45 cases were as the control group and treated with routine nursing. 117 cases were as the test group, in them, 17 cases were tossed and turned once every 2 hours, 50 cases tossed and turned once every 4 hours and 50 cases tossed and turned once every 6 hours. The patients of the test group were nursed with the bedsore mat blowing out gas as well as routine nursing. The rates of bedsore of two groups were compared.ResultsThe bedsore rate of the control group was 4.44%, 2 hours group was 0%, 4 hours group was 4% and 6 hours group was 22%; there was no significant difference among the control group, 2 hours group and 4 hours group, but there was a significant difference between 2 hours group, 4 hours group and 6 hours group (P<0.01).Conclusion4 hours is suitable for the stuporous patients to toss and turn while using the bedsore mat blowing out gas.

Objective To compare the timeliness, success and mortality rates between the modified carotid artery puncture method ( MCAPM) and standard suture method ( SSM) in the establishment of rat model of a middle cerebral ar?tery occlusion ( MCAO) . Methods Thirty?two male rats were randomly and equally assigned into MCAPM group and SSM group. The MCAO models were established by inserting a thread into the common carotid artery ( CCA) . 24 h after modeling, the rats of the two groups were evaluated with Bederson neurological scores, and the modeling success rate and mortality rate were analyzed. Results The suture insertion times, success rates and mortality rates of the MCAPM vs. SSM groups were (82?3 ±17?4) s versus (164?6 ± 22?0) s (P<0?01), 87?5% versus 68?75% (P>0?05), and 6?25% versus 18?75% (P>0?05). Conclusions MCAPM can be used to establish the rat model of MCAO due to its simplicity, mild wound and feasibility.

BACKGROUND: Early clinical researches suggest that mediodespidine capsule can decrease blood pressure of patients with primary hypertension on the basis of yanggan qinggan pinggan technique.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of mediodespidine capsule on primary hypertension and angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang- Ⅱ ) of patients in the types of yin deficiency, yang excess and liver fire.DESIGN: Randomized controlled case observation.SETTING: Department of Cardiology, First Affiliated Hospital, Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.PARTICIPANTS: Patients were selected from the Inpatient Department and Out-patients Clinic of the First Affiliated Hospital of Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine between April 1999 and April 2000. Inclusion criteria: Patients, who were diagnosed with the criteria of primary hypertension, who belonged to the types of yin deficiency, yang excess and liver fire, who could endure this test, who were coincidence with the criteria of mental-stress test, were all consent. Exclusion criteria: Patients who had severe congestive heart failure, atrophic arthritis and unable tolerance were excluded. There were 60 cases in total, including 29 males and 31females. All patients were divided into mediodespidine group and verapamil group with 30 in each group on the basis of randomly digital table.METHODS: Patients who had positive results of awaken mental-stress test were involved in this study. Cases in mediodespidine group were treated with mediodespidine capsule, which was made of tall gastrodia tuber, spine date seed and fourstamen stephania root at the dosage of 0.43 g/pill and were provided by the First Affiliated Hospital of Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (wei yao ji zi: 05-047, batch number: 990503), five pills each for 3 times a day. Cases in verapamil group were treatedwith verapamil (40 mg/pill, Shanghai Huanghe Liya PharmaceuticalCompany Limited,batch number: 980301B) 80 mg each for 3 times a day. The course in both groups was 4 weeks. ① Effect of blood pressure: Average value of blood pressure tested for 3 successive days were regarded as the blood pressure before treatment, and average value of blood pressure tested for 3 times after treatment was regarded as the blood pressure after treatment. ② Effect of symptom:Scores were recorded as four levels according to main symptoms, such as vertigo, headache, pain and weakness of waist and knees, before and after treatment. ③ Values of Ang- Ⅱ were measured with radioimmunoassay before and after cold pressor test. Effect on Ang- Ⅱ was evaluated with effect of decompression, effect of clinical symptom and criteria of clinical effect.MAIN OUTCOME MEARUSES: Clinical symptoms, values of blood pressure, heart rate and Ang- Ⅱ before and after cold pressor test.RESULTS: A total of 60 patients with primary hypertension were involved into the final analysis.① Totally effective rate of clinical symptoms of patients in mediodespidine group was higher than that of patients in verapamil group, but the effect of decompression was not significant between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05). ② There was remarkably significant difference of heart rate in both groups before and after treatment (P ＜ 0.01), especially the decrease in verapamil group was great, and there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05). ③ Values of systolic pressure and diastolic pressure were decreased in both groups after cold pressor test (P ＜ 0.01), but there was no significant difference between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05). ④ There was no significant difference in clinical effect between the twogroups (P ＞ 0.05).⑤ After treatment, concentration of Ang- Ⅱ at basic level in both groups was decreased, and there was significant difference between them (P ＜ 0.01);concentration of Aug-Ⅱ was decreased in both groups after cold pressor test as compared with that before treatment, but there was no significant difference between them (P ＞ 0.05).CONCLUSION: Mediodespidine capsule can decrease blood pressure stably, and the effect is stronger than that of verapamil at the aspect of decompression and improving symptoms. Blood pressure of patients with primary hypertension in the types of yin deficiency and yang excess or liver fire can be decreased by decreasing the level of plasma Ang-Ⅱ to a certain degree.

Objective To investigate the factors that induce constipation in bedridden patients undergoing replantation of severed finger and find countermeasures. Methods A retrospective investigation was carried out in 92 patients undergoing replantation of severed finger, their constipation and factors influencing constipation were recorded. Results 61 patients suffered from constipation in total 92 cases,the rate being 66.30%. 76 patients reduced food intake, and 59 cases presented constipation (the rate being 77.63%). Factors influencing constipation included being unaccustomed to defecate in bed (the rate that present with constipation being 87.09%),reluctant to trouble others(75.47%), side effects of drugs(55.56%) and lack of dietary knowledge (71.87%), decreasing food intake was closely bound up with constipation. Conclusions Proper psychological counseling, strengthening of health propaganda, comfortable facility for defecation, improved family support and oral food intake can significantly reduce the proportion of constipation and increase comfort degree of patients.

Objective To evaluate the relationship of the expressions of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and endocranium invasion in the convex meningiomas.Methods Convex meningioma Simpson I level excises 51 patients were selected.The dural mater 15 mm around the rumors was resected,stochastically divided into four sections (0-1 mm,2-5 mm,6-10 mm,＞10 mm)for pathological inspection.Analysed statistically the study results based on microscopic observation of the HE staining slides and immunohistochemistry of proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA).Results PCNA LI of the group with the endocranium invasion was 10.32±6.74,the other was 2.16±4.93.The atypical meningioma had a high endocranium invasion degree.Conclusion Pathologic grading of meningioma and the expressions of PCNA by immunohistochemical staining method are the factors affecting endoeranium invasion of the convex meningiomas.

Objective: To build a mouse tumor model with a manufactured surgical wound representing acute inflammation, and to evaluate the relationship between acute inflammation or wound healing and the process of tumor growth. Then to observe the impact of IFN-γ/TGF-β on tumor growth. Methods: Male C57BL mice of six weeks were used and divided into the experiment group and the control group. The B16F10 mela-noma cell suspension was injected into the left groin area of each mouse. A wound measured 1 cm in diame-ter was built on the opposite side of bodies in the experiment group when tumor volume was about 0.5 cm~3.The expression of IFN-γ/TGF-β in blood serum and tumor tissues were examined by ELISA. In order to fur-ther confirm the effect of TGF-β on tumor growth, another 16 mice models with melanoma were established and 8 of them received IFN-γ injection (the experiment group). Results: When acute inflammation had influenc-es on tumor, a two-phase development was presented. In the early phase, the growth of tumor in the mice with wound was slower than that in the control group. In the early phase, the release of IFN-γ was higher and the release of TGF-β was lower in the experiment group. In the later phase, the growth of tumor in the mice with wound was similar to that in the controls and the release of TGF-β was higher. In vivo experiment con- firmed the above results. In the early phase, the release of TGF-β was not significantly different between the experiment group and the control group (P>0.05). In the later phase, the release of TGF-β in the experiment group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: In the early phase of acute inflamma-tion, inhibitory effects of IFN-y on tumor growth were presented. In the later phase, the inhibited tumor was re-sistant to IFN-γ through the release of TGF-β to balance the effect of inflammatory factors on tumor cells.
