0.05),but the ratio of fPSA/tPSA in PC group was very lower than that in BPH group(P20.0 ?g/L,the sensitivity and the specificity was 91.6%(22/24) and 87.5%(21/24).Conclusion It can improve the differential diagnosis between PC and BPH to use the ratio of fPSA/tPSA combining with the serum tPSA.It is important for the observation of the differential diagnosis and the therapeutic effects of PC and the preparation of the high risk persons and etc.

Objective To investigate changes in cardiac markers and its effect on instructing nursing of patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS).Methods 100 ACS patients from cardiology department and CCU were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group. The control group was given routine care. the observation group was given intervention according to positive results of cardiac markers. Some indexes such as B-type natriuretic peptide, myoglobin, creatine kinase isoenzyme, cardiac troponin I, and EKG, congestive heart failure and cardiogenic shock as well as appraisal of patients and relatives to nurses were compared between the two groups. Results The observation group was better than the control group in subsequent indicators: B-type natriuretic peptide, myoglobin, creatine kinase isoenzyme, cardiac troponin I,EKG, congestive heart failure and cardiogenic shock, and appraisal of patients and relatives to nurses was also better than the control group. Conclusions Detection of cardiac markers not only has significance for diagnosis, risk stratification and prognosis of ACS, but also help to instruct nursing of ACS patients. It has an important role in raising the nurses ability to identify risk factors and take effective measures to reduce complications and mortality, improve satisfaction degree of patients and their family members.

Objective To evaluate the anxiety and depression problems in children parents with leukemia, as well as the problems' influence to the psychosocial characteristics of leukemia children.Methods Twenty long-term survivors of childhood leukemia (group A), thirty children newly diagnosed as leukemia (group B) and fifty age-matched healthy controls (group C) completed the questionnaires allowing assessment of symptoms associated with anxiety, depression and self-concept. At the same time, the anxiety and depression in the parents of children with leukemia were also measured using SAS and SDS. Results The anxiety and depression scores of the parents in study group (48.56±9.23, 51.86±9.53) were much higher than that in normal population (37.23±12.59, 41.88±10.57) (P = 0.000, 0.000, respectively), the positive rate of anxiety and depression symptoms among group B was significantly higher than that among group A (60.0 % vs 25.0 %, 46.7 % vs 20.0 %; P <0.05, respectively). There was a significant positive relation between the depression and anxiety scores in the parents of children with leukemia(r =0.947, P =0.0000). Group A scored significantly higher on subscales of somatization/panic (6.11 ±4.36), generalized anxiety (5.72±4.56),social phobia (7.67±4.19) and the total scale (25.8±13.98) than group C (the score was 3.68±3.39, 2.54±2.99,4.24±2.88 and 15.9±10.52, respectively) (P<0.05, respectively), group B scored significantly higher on subscales of social phobia (6.03 ±2.16) than group C (4.24±2.88) (P =0.016). There was a significantly positive relation between the depression score in children with leukemia and the anxiety (r = 0.309, P = 0.029) & depression(r = 0.342, P = 0.015) scores in their parents. Group A scored significantly higher on the total score of self-concept(60.8±6.25) as well as the subscales of happiness(7.95±1.32) than group G (64.48±7.89 vs 8.64±1.19) (P =0.039, 0.026, respectively); and group B scored significantly higher on subscales of behavior (12.47±1.25), intelligence(10.80±2.12), physical appearance and attributes (8.40±2.66), anxiety (9.93±1.29) and the total scale (59.83±5.87) than group C (14.00±2.17, 12.60±2.96, 9.64±2.30, 11.38+2.18, 64.48±7.89) (P <0.05, respectively). There was a significantly positive relation between the score of gregarization subscale in leukemic children and the anxiety score in their parents (r = 0.337, P = 0.017). Conclusion The findings of our studies have suggested that the parents of children with leukemia are at risk for psychological difficulties, and which have a great influence on the psychological health of their children.

BACKGROUND:Diffusion tensor imaging aad fiber tractography(DT-FT)is the only method to identify cerebral white matter fiber organization in vivo.OBJECTIVE:To observe the changes in brain areas with language function and the fiber stucture in patients with Broca aphasia.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:Comparative observation was performed at First Hospital of Kunming Medical College and Tiantan Hospital of Capital Medical University between November 2003 and February 2005.PARTICIPANTS:Thirty patients(9 females,21 males,aged 17-63 years)with Broca aphasia of different degree were selected.They were diagnosed by a set of Chinese aphasia examinations of Research Laboratory of Neuropsychology,First Hospital of Beijing Medical University,following by further classification according to the subitems.METHODS:3T super-high field magnetic resonance scanner was used for the data collection and processing of the entire brain.Brodmann areas 45,44,areas 22 and 39(Wernicke area),and the corresponding brain areas in the right hemisphere are selected as areas with language function.The primary commissure,commissural fibers(arcuate fasciculus,internal capsule,external capsule)that are closely correlated with language function were regarded as region of interest of fiber tracking.The neural fiber tracking was conducted.MAIN OUTCOME MEASUIURES:The tracking and distribution of neural fiber tracts,and its correlation with other brain areas,and changes under pathological conditions.All data were compared with normal brain.RESULTS:Thirty patients with Broca aphasia were included in final analysis.The mean fractional anisotropy of fiber tracts in left Brodmann areas 45 and 44 was significantly lower than that in normal Brodmann areas(t=-2.683 65,-5.300 55,P＜0.05).The inferior fiber tracts in Broca area showed interruption or displacement,loosely connected even separate from the frontal arcuate fasciculus.The fibers of precentral gyrus and medial frontal lobe were decreased.The separation of arcuate fasciculus from Broca area caused by the integrity disruption and displacement of fiber tracts of arcuate fasciculus was the main alteration of arcuate fasciculus in Broca aphasia.The number of fiber tracts of left arcuate fasciculus and the mean fractional anisotropy in Broca aphasia were significantly less than normal people(P＜0.05).CONCLUSION:The lesions of cerebral cortex and its fiber pathway in Broca area can result in Broca aphasia.

The Sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in neurogenesis and brain damage repair. Our previous work demonstrated that the SHH signaling pathway was involved in the neuroprotection of cortical neurons against oxidative stress. The present study was aimed to further examine the underlying mechanism. The cortical neurons were obtained from one-day old Sprague-Dawley neonate rats. Hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2), 100 μmol/L) was used to treat neurons for 24 h to induce oxidative stress. Exogenous SHH (3 μg/mL) was employed to activate the SHH pathway, and cyclopamine (20 μmol/L), a specific SHH signal inhibitor, to block SHH pathway. LY294002 (20 μmol/L) were used to pre-treat the neurons 30 min before H(2)O(2) treatment and selectively inhibit the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway. The cell viability was measured by MTT and apoptosis rate by flow cytometry analysis. The expression of p38, p-p38, ERK, p-ERK, Akt, p-Akt, Bcl-2, and Bax in neurons was detected by immunoblotting. The results showed that as compared with H(2)O(2) treatment, exogenous SHH could increase the expression of p-Akt by 20% and decrease the expression of p-ERK by 33%. SHH exerted no significant effect on p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) pathway. Blockade of PI3K/Akt pathway by LY294002 decreased the cell viability by 17% and increased the cell apoptosis rate by 2-fold. LY294002 treatment could up-regulate the expression of the pro-apoptotic gene Bax by 12% and down-regulate the expression of the anti-apoptotic gene Bcl-2 by 54%. In conclusion, SHH pathway may activate PI3K/Akt pathway and inhibit the activation of the ERK pathway in neurons under oxidative stress. The PI3K/Akt pathway plays a key role in the neuroprotection of SHH. SHH/PI3K/Bcl-2 pathway may be implicated in the protection of neurons against H(2)O(2)-induced apoptosis.
