Objective To evaluate the inter-rater reliability and validity of Chinese version Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease: Neuropsychological Assessment Battery (CERAD-NAB) in discriminating mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Methods 52 old people (31 normal elderly, 21 MCI, according to the Petersen's criterion) were assessed with CERAD-NAB-C. The intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC), receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and area under the curve (AUC) were analyzed. Results The ICC was 0.945~1 in subtests of CERAD-NAB. The AUC was 0.747, the sensitivity and specificity of total score was 0.52 and 0.90 respectively at a cut-off score of 62.5. J3, J8, and total score had higher AUC than other subtests in discriminating MCI from normals. Conclusion The inter- rater reliability of CERAD-NAB was perfect, and the validity was satisfactory in discriminating MCI from normals

Objective To study the clinical features and protective measures of AIDS with fungal esophagitis as the initial presentation,improve the knowledge of non-specialist medical staff of AIDS. Methods The clinical manifestations,laboratory tess.endoscopic examination,and medical protective measures of 15 AIDS patients with fungal esophagitis were analyzed. Reults The patients were infected through sexual transmission mainly,and manifestation included difficuhy in swallowing,retrostemal pain,weight loss,fever,loss of appetite,fatigue and other symptoms.The patients got confirmed diagnosis by our hospital after visiting many other hospitals.3 patients were automatically discharged after confirmed diagnosis,other patients impreved after antifimgal therapy and symptomatic treatment.No iatrogenic infection occurred during hospitalization. Conclusions Non-specialist medical staff in AIDS should recognize the clinical features of AIDS,give timely confirmed diagnosis and treatment,avoid missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis,strengthen protective measures and avoid iatrogenic infection.

Translationally controlled tumor protein (TCTP)is a small protein highly conserved in a variety of eukaryotic species.TCTP is overexpressed in various tumor cells and has been implicated in the regu-lation of cellular processes including apoptosis,DNA repair and drug resistance.By reviewing the recent pro-gress of TCTP research,TCTP is becoming an important regulator of DNA repair and a new molecular target for tumor therapy.

Objective To explore the influence of the medication adherence and family function on mental disability status of the schizophrenia patients.Methods Morisky Medication Adherence Questionnaire(MAQ),Assessment Schedule Ⅱ (WHO-DAS Ⅱ),Family APGAR Index(APGAR) were used to analyze the influence of the medication adherence and family function on the schizophrenia mental disability patients.120 convalescence mental disability patients were included in Inner Mongolia Anding hospital.Results The mean score of medication adherence and family function of the schizophrenia mental disability patients was (2.40±1.10) points and (4.87±2.42) points,they both played a significant role on the effect of mental disability.The main effect of medication adherence and family function were significantly different.Through the simple effect analysis,the mental disability score was different in the various medication adherence level under the various family function situation,and the mental disability score was also different in the various family function situation under the medication adherence level.Conclusions Both medication adherence and family function have effect on mental disability status of the schizophrenia patients.The medical staff should take targeted measures to delay or improve patients' mental disability status.

Objective This study was designed to observe the impact of cigarette cessation on anxiety and depression in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).Methods A total of 690 cigarette smoking patients with CHD identified by coronary angiography (CAG) were included and analyzed in the study.The mental state were scored with Hamilton anxiety (HAMA) and depression (HAMD) scale both on admission and at 6-month follow-up.The patients were divided into two groups based on the cigarette cessation.The score of mental state between the two groups were compared.The patients were treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI),coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG),or medicine therapy (MT).Results The clinic data and score of mental state were similar at the time of admission (HAMA:10.66±5.53 vs 11.09 ±5.61,P =0.311;HAMD:29.81 ± 10.13 vs 28.94 ± 10.22,P =0.266 4) between the two groups.After 6 months,the proportions of subjects in smoking cession group with anxiety (24.2% vs 32.3%,P <0.05),depression (18.0% vs 27.5%,P <0.05),and anxiety and depression (7.0% vs 16.2%,P <0.001) decreased significantly compared with those in smoking group irrespective of the treatment strategy.Both the HAMA and HAMD scores were lower in smoking cessation group (HAMA:9.83±3.40;HAMD:24.91 ±7.90) than in smoking group (HAMA:10.98 ±4.87;HAMD:27.70 ± 11.16) (all P < 0.001).Conclusions Smoking cessation is good for the relief of anxiety and depression in CHD patient.

Objective To prepare recombinant plasminogen activator(Pla) protein in E.coli BL21 cells that can be used in studying interactions between Yersinia pestis proteins and immunologic diagnosis of plague.Methods The pla gene was amplified by PCR and cloned into the pET28a expression vector.E.coli BL21 competent cells were transformed with the recombinant vectors, and isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside ( IPTG) was added to induce expression of Pla protein. The expressed protein was detected by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis.The inclusion bodies of Pla protein were denatured in 8 mol/L urea, and then refolded using gradient urea solutions.The purified protein was identified by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and Western blot.Results and Conclusion The constructed expression vector was demonstrated to be correct through agarose gel electrophoresis and sequencing.The recombinant Pla protein was accumulated as an inclusion body in E.coli, and the overexpression product was mainly a target protein, the yield of which was very high.SDS-PAGE purity of the bioactive Pla protein was obtained by denaturing and refolding the inclusion bodies.This study provides a simple and quick method for highly efficient preparation of biologically active Pla protein.
