Objective To investigate the effect of high-voltage electrostatic therapy on chronic migraine. Methods 86 cases who met inclusioncriteria were randomly divided into two groups: high-voltage group (n=43) was treated with high-voltage therapeutic device for 20d. Control group (n=43) was blank control. The recovered cases were followed up for 4 weeks after cessation of treatment. They were assessedwith McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ), and their results of laboratory tests were recorded before and after treatment. The data set analyzedincluded Intention-To-Treat, and per protocol. Results The differences between 2 groups were statistically significant in Pain RatingIndex, Visual Analog Score and Present Pain Intensity after treatment (P<0.05). 6 patients in the treatment group and 1 patient in the controlgroup recovered. During the 4-week follow-up, 1 case recured in each group, the intensity of pain was not statistically significant. There wasno difference in the laboratory indice of blood, urine, stool routine, liver and kidney function (ALT, BUN, Cr) and ECG in both groups beforeand after treatment. Conclusion The high-voltage electrostatic therapy is effective and safe on chronic migraine.

Osteoid osteoma was first reported in 1935 by Jaffe. It is a kind of benign bone disease with the limitation of well-defined lesions. It is rarely seen in the periorbital region. The only symptom of the patient was unilateral proptosis of right. The result of MRI examination was cystic masses in the edge of the right orbit. The tumor was complete removed by the nasal endoscopic approach during the surgery. Pathology result was reported as osteoid osteoma. There was no significant complications of diplopia, visual acuity decreased, enophthalmos, cerebrospinal fluid leakage and others.

Objective To investigate the urinary endothelin-1 (ET-1) excretion and urinary sodium excretion,microalbuminuria and ambulatory blood pressure(ABP) in salt-sensitive(SS) hypertension patients. Methods Twenty-one cases of normotensive subjects and 32 cases of uncomplicated hypertensive patients were recruited in this study. Salt sensitivity was determined by acute venous saline loading test. Before saline loading, 24-hour ABP measurements were performed. Urine samples were collected to assay ET-1 ,urinary sodium excretion and urinary albumin excretion(UAF). Results Compared to slat-resistant(SR) subgroup, SS showed low urinary ET-1 excretion in normotensive group (P＜0.05) or hypertensive group (P＜0.01) ,regardless of saline loading or not. The nighttime MAP of SS was higher than SR subgroup in normotensive or hypertensive group. Urinary sodium excretion during 4h of saline loading was significantly lower in SS than that in SR hypertensive patients (P＜0. 05). Twenty-four-hour UAE of SS patients was higher than SR group (P＜0.01). Results of further correlation analysis indicated that the urinary ET-1 excretion was positively related to urinary sodium content and negatively to ABP and UAE. Conclusion Urinary ET-1 is low in SS normotensives or hypertension patients,which may play a role in renal sodium retention and renal impairment of SS hypertension patients.

Objective To explore the relationship between organizational justice and turnover intention among nurses of tertiary hospitals and to provide implications for human resource management.Methods Totally 511 nurses were recruited from four tertiary hospitals of Jinan City and investigated with Organizational Justice Questionnaire and Turnover Intention Scale.Results The average scores of turnover intention and organizational justice were (2.46±0.61) and (3.55±0.62),respectively.Distributive justice and informational justice were significant predictors of turnover intention.Conclusions The turnover intention of nurses in tertiary hospitals is high.It is beneficial for mitigating nurses' tumover intention to improve their organizational justice,apply post management and performance appraisal model.

Aim To observe the effects of the total fla-vonoids of scutellaria barbataon ( TFSB ) on high-fat
feeding ApoE gene deficiency mice in early atheroscle-rosis ( AS ) and its underlying mechanisms. Methods
40 ApoE-/ -male mice were divided into five groups:model group, SIM group and L-TFSB, M-TFSB, H-TFSB group, 5 C57BL/6J mice were selected as nor-mal control group. All mice in experimental group were fed with high-lipid diet for 4 weeks and all mice were killed after 8 weeks. H&E staining was used to observe morphology of aorta. Blood rheometer was used to ex-amine plasm viscosity and whole blood viscosity. Fully automatic biochemical analyser was used to detect the serum levels of TG, TC, LDL-C and HDL-C. The ex-pression levels of PLTP and VE in serum were meas-ured by ELISA. The expression levels of PLTP and FXR in liver were examined by Western blot. Results The model was established successfully. TFSB groups could improve the aorta AS morphology of model mice and significantly reduce the serum levels of TG, TC and LDL-C, while increase the level of HDL-C ( P<0. 05 or P<0. 01 ) . TFSB groups could decrease the
hematocrit value, plasma viscosity and whole blood vis-cosity of AS model mice significantly and had statistical significance when compared with model group ( P <0. 01 ) . The expression levels of PLTP of serum were reduced significantly when compared with model group ( P <0. 01 ) . We also found that the expression of PLTP was in negative correlation with VE ( r = -0. 675,P<0. 01). M-TFSB and H-TFSB group could decrease the expressions of PLTP and FXR of liver when compared with model group ( P <0. 01 ) . Con-clusion TFSB may exert its anti-AS effect partly through inhibiting the levels of FXR and PLTP of ApoE-/ -mice, increasing the level of VE, regulating blood lipids, improving blood rheology and reducing the damage of AS in mice.

ObjectiveTo evaluate arterial stiffness and its influencing factors in the elderly patients with hypertension and (or) type 2 diabetes mellitus.MethodsTotally 320 elderly patients were divided into four groups: control,diabetes mellitus,hypertension,coexisting hypertension and diabetes mellitus.Arterial stiffness in ankle and brachial artery was determined by brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV).Other factors affecting baPWV were also collected and measured,including age,body mass index (BMI),sex,smoking,blood pressure,pulse pressure,mean arterial pressure,serum fasting blood glucose,lipid profile,glycosylated hemoglobin and hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP).ResultsbaPWV in the four groups were ( 1667.2 ± 279.3 )cm/s,(2158.6 ±386.9)cm/s,(1881.2±383.8) cm/s and (2165.9± 479.9)cm/s,respectively.The baPWV value was higher in groups of hypertension,diabetes mellitus,and the coexisting diseases than in controls (F=8.473,P＜0.05).Diabctic patients had a higher baPWV levels than those without diabetes.There was no difference in baPWV levels between diabetic patients with or without hypertension.Pulse pressure and hsCRP were higher in coexisting diseases group than in control group (P＜0.05).Stepwise backward regression analysis showed that fasting blood glucose,pulse pressure,mean blood pressure,hsCRP and low density lipoprotein cholesterin (LDL-C) were positively related to baPWV P ＜0.05). ConclusionsHypertension and (or) type 2 diabetes mellitus are important influencing factors for higher arterial stiffness. Hyperglycemia might play more important role in the elderly arterial stiffness.Serum fasting blood glucose,pulse pressure,mean blood pressure,hsCRP,LDL-C may be the independent risk factors of arterial stiffness.

AAV-ITR single strand DNA mini vector (AAV-ITR ssDNA mini vector) is a novel gene expression vector based on AAV-ITR. We have shown efficient gene expression of AAV-ITR ssDNA mini vector in HEK 293T. Here, we studied the efficacy of gene expression of AAV-ITR ssDNA mini vector in vivo. We injected the skeletal muscle of ICR mice separately with equal molars of AAV-ITR ssDNA mini vector, ITR mutated AAV-ITR single strand DNA mini vector (AAV-ITRmm ssDNA mutant vector), AAV-ITR dsDNA and pUC57-minivector-GFP, combined with TurboFect. Florescence microscope analysis of skeletal muscle section shows that AAV-ITR ssDNA mini vector had higher expression efficiency and longer expression period. We extracted DNA from the muscle three months after injection and quantified three vectors by Real-time PCR. RT-PCR analysis shows that there were highest copy numbers of AAV-ITR ssDNA mini vector existing in muscle. Stable existing of AAV- TR ssDNA mini vector in muscle could be the molecular basis of long term gene expression of the vector. The results suggest that AAV-ITR ssDNA mini vector might be a promising vector for gene therapy.
