Objective To investigate the status of the anxiety and depression in the patients with paralysis after spinal cord injury, and the measures to cope with it. Methods Sixty cases of patients with paralysis after spinal cord injury were evaluated with Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and SelfRating Depression Scale (SDS), the results were compared with those of the domestic norm of healthy individuals. Results The scores of patients with paralysis after spinal cord injury were higher than that of domestic norm of healthy individuals. 54 cases had anxious symptom (90.00%), and 37 had depression.The causes led to anxiety and depression mainly came from the suffering of the disease, the influence of the work as well as the study and the cost of the treatment. Conclusions The patients with paralysis after spinal cord injury had mental problems, they need to be interfered with by healthy education and mental nursing in order to promote rehabilitation.

Objective To assess gastric emptying of mixed meal in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and small intestinal transit of solid meal.Methods Gastric emptying of solid and liquid food,and small intestinal transit time of solid food were measured in patients with DM by a dual isotopic technique.Anterior and posterior images were recorded by SPECT.Results The average time of 50% gastric and proximal gastric emptying of solid food and the maximal counting time of distal gastric solid food were much longer in patients than those in controls.About 40%-44% patients exceeded normal range.The change of the average time of delay phase was not significant,but 48% patients exceeded normal range;the change of gastric emptying of liquid food was not significant.But in patients,the small intestinal transit time of solid food was significantly longer than that of healthy controls.Conclusion The average transit time of solid meal in DM patients is longer,but their gastric emptying of liquid food is normal.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of postoperative complications and related risk factors in neurosurgery patients. Methods A retrospective study was carried out in neurosurgery patients during anesthesia recovery period from March, 2009 to November, 2013. The recorded complications included respiratory and circulatory system complications, pain, shivering, nausea and vomiting, agitation and delaying recovery. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to screen the risk factors for these complications. Results Da-ta of 13,495 patients were available for analysis. The general incidence was 48.8%. Post-operative complications included post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) (14.5%), agitation (13.5%), hypertension (13.4%), arrhythmia (9.3%), shivering (8.9%), pain (5.9%), hypox-emia (2.5%), delayed recovery (1.9%), airway obstruction (1.7%) and hypotension (0.3%). Regression analysis showed that the risk factors for hypoxemia included male,<59 years old and infratentorial tumor (P<0.05);the risk factors for PONV included male, supratentorial tu-mor, infratentorial tumor, cerebrovascular disease, inhalation anesthesia, the use of muscle relaxants antagonism and tramadol (P<0.05);and the risk factors for postoperative restlessness included male, infratentorial tumor and cerebrovascular disease, inhalation anesthesia, the use of muscle relaxants antagonism and no use of patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pump (P<0.05). Conclusion Patients with different neuro-logical diseases showed different post-operative complications and exhibited different risk factors for these complications. Anesthesiologists should closely monitor patients receiving various neurosurgery and provide timely treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of different denture cleaning methods on surface roughness in resin denture base. METHODS: We established 20 wafer samples of fuser base resin (14 mm×14 mm×3 mm), and then randomly divided them into 4 groups: group A was the control group, which were placed in water, while group B, C and D were the experimental groups, whose cleaning methods were toothbrush and water, toothbrush and toothpaste, denture cleaning tablets, respectively. Each procedure in group B and C lasted for 3 seconds, but group D lasted 5 min and repeated for 1080 times. We cleaned twice a day to simulate the method of cleaning dentures. Surface roughness was checked after different procedures by laser scanning confocal microscopy. RESULTS: Significant difference on surface roughness was found between group B, C and A (P<0.05), while no significant difference in the surface roughness between group A and D (P>0.05). CONCLUSION Significant surface roughness alterations have been observed in toothbrush and toothpaste group, but no change has been found in denture cleaning tablets group, which does not produce scratches on the surface of resin denture base.

Objective To look for more serum biomarkers supporting the diagnosis of multiple system atrophy ( MSA) and providing more evidence for early treatment.Methods All patients and healthy controls were enrolled from January 2011 to March 2015 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University.Demographic features and biochemical examination results were collected.The t test was used to compare the lipid levels between MSA patients and controls.LSD-t test was used to compare the lipid levels among subtypes of MSA patients.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyze the influencing factors.The relevance between lipid levels and onset age, disease duration and Hoehn & Yahr stage was calculated by Spearman correlation coefficients.Results Participants included 195 MSA patients and 195 age-and gender-matched controls with no neurological diseases.The levels of total cholesterol ((4.33 ±0.90) mmol/L), triglyceride ((1.27 ±0.71) mmol/L), low-density lipoprotein (LDL;(2.70 ±0.76) mmol/L) were significantly lower in patients than in controls ((4.52 ±0.85), (1.47 ± 0.86), (2.85 ±0.71) mmol/L ,t=2.056,2.528 and 2.149 respectively, all P<0.05).The levels of total cholesterol ((4.28 ±0.96) mmol/L) and triglyceride ((1.20 ±0.64) mmol/L) were significantly lower in MSA-P patients than in control group ((4.52 ±0.85), (1.47 ±0.86) mmol/L;LSD-t=1.983, 2.566, both P<0.05).After adjusting for age, gender and histories, the odds ratio ( OR) was 0.31 (95%CI 0.15-0.65, P =0.002 ) for MSA patients in the highest quartile of triglyceride and 0.38 (95%CI 0.17 -0.83,P=0.016) for those in the highest quartile of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), compared with the lowest quartiles.And HDL level was in a significantly positive correlation with onset age (r=0.15, P=0.039).Conclusion Our data suggest that triglyceride and HDL may be associated with the prevalence of MSA, and the lower levels of HDL, the earlier onset of MSA.

Objective To investigate the radioprotective effect of cimetidine on survival rate and hematopoietic system in acutely irradiated mice.Methods The total body irradiation doses were 6.0Gy and 8.0Gy respectively at 1.01Gy/min rate. Sixty healthy male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group, model group, positive-drug (523) group and cimetidine groups (33.3mg/kg, 100mg/kg and 300mg/kg). Each group had ten mice. The mice were given intragastric administration of cimetidine for 6d before the irradiation in cimetidine groups, and 523 was administered before irradiation once a day for one day in 523 group, and at 5h after irradiation, was given again. The 30d survival rate after 8.0Gy irradiation was recorded. The peripheral blood cells, bone marrow DNA content and frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (fMNPCE) were determined 30d after 6.0Gy irradiation.Results After 8.0Gy irradiation, all the mice died on 21th day in model control group. The survival rates in cimetidine groups were 50%, 20% and 30%, respectively. After 6.0Gy irradiation on 30th day, compared with control group, the peripheral white blood cells (WBC) and bone marrow DNA content were decreased significantly (P<0.01,P<0.05) in model group, and fMNPCE was increased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with model group, WBC was significantly increased in 300mg/kg cimetidine group (P<0.01). In cimetidine groups, the bone marrow DNA content was increased significantly after irradiation (P<0.01 orP<0.05), and the fMNPCE was decreased significantly (P<0.01 orP<0.05) and tended towards normal.Conclusion Cimetidine could improve 30d survival rate of acutely irradiated mice and has good protective effect on hematopoietic system.
