Objective To examine the changes of brain inhibitory neurotransmitters and their precursors with glutamine supplement. The hypothesis is that the supplement of glutamine may delay the fatigue of central nervous system involved in exercise. Methods Rats were suffered with exhaustion treadmill running after different dosages of glutamine supplement of twenty days duration and sacrificed right after the running. Rat free tryptophan (F-Trp), branched chain amino acids (BCAA) in serum and brain, glucose in serum, and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in the brain had been quantified with the double blind procedure. Results The results showed that the serum glutamine had no statistical significance among each group. The ratios of F-Trp/BCAA in the serum and brain were lower significantly in large dosage group than the placebo group. The 5-HT level of large dosage group was lower significantly than the other groups, while serum glucose was significantly higher than all the other groups. The ratios of F-Trp/BCAA in the brain were lower significantly in small dosage glutamine supplement rats than the other groups. Conclusion The results suggest that glutamine supplement take advantage of the balance of serum glutamine level. Glutamine supplement improves rat central nerves performance in long time treadmill running, that may due to the decrease of precursor of inhibitory neurotransmitter and itself, and large dosage supplement is more effective than small one.

OBJECTIVE To investigate and analyze the reasons of nosocomial infection(NI) in patients in intensive care unit( ICU),to find effective countermeasures for preventing NI and reducing the incidence rate of NI in ICU,and to enhance the management of ICU.METHODS All data of patients who suffered MRSA in ICU from Dec 2005 to Feb 2006,were analyzed by prospective monitoring and retrospective studies.RESULTS The nine patients were with lower respiratory tract.All were infected by the same MRSA.The same MRSA strain was found from hand,mouth and nose among the treating doctor and nurses based on the sample-analysis.CONCLUSIONS The incidence rate of NI in ICU is much higher than that in other departments.Risk factors depend on the severity of underlying diseases,invasive procedure,the quality of disinfection and sterilization,the incorrect use of the antibiotic,and patients′ immunity status especially among elderly.The key way to reduce incidence rate of NI is to take comprehensive measures and strengthen the antibiotic management.

Objective To investigate the effect of state anxiety and trait anxiety on attentional orienting of heroin addicts. Methods State anxiety and trait anxiety was measured by State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Forty heroin ad?dicts (36 males and 4 females) and 40 healthy controls (36 males and 4 females) participated in cue-target task. Atten?tional orienting and reorienting were measured in valid cue trials and invalid cue trails. Results Heroin addicts had sig?nificantly greater state anxiety [(42.65 ± 6.58) vs. (36.60 ± 8.91)] and trait anxiety [(44.43 ± 7.67) vs. (37.00 ± 8.63)] values than controls (P<0.05). The state anxiety was significantly correlated with orientation RT difference (r=-0.259, P=0.020) and disengaging/reorientation RT difference (r=0.333, P=0.003) in heroin addicts. Trait anxiety was also significantly cor?related with orientation RT difference (r=-0.248, P=0.026) and disengaging/reorientation RT difference (r=0.356, P=0.001) in heroin addicts. Conclusion Heroin addicts have significantly greater anxiety than healthy controls. Both their state anxiety and trait anxiety are associated with attentional orienting and disengaging/reorienting.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Feisu Granules,and its effects on quality of life,coagulation and immune function in acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD)with syndrome of phlegm-heat and blood stasis of lung.Methods Totally 120 AECOPD patients were divided into observation group and control group according to random number table method,with 60 cases in each group.The control group was given conventional Western medicine treatment,and the observation group received Feisu Granules treatment on the basis of the control group,one bag each time,three times a day,orally.The treatment for both groups lasted for 7 d.The clinical efficacy of both groups were observed.TCM symptom scores,St.George's respiratory questionnaire(SGRQ)score,coagulation function indexes(fibrinogen,D-dimer),and immune function indexes(CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+)of both groups were compared.The side effects were observed.Results The total effective rate in the observation group(93.10%)was significantly higher than that of the control group(79.66%),with statistical significance(P<0.05).Compared with before treatment,TCM symptom scores,scores of cough,wheezing,venous congestion,and SGRQ score decreased in both groups after treatment(P<0.05);after treatment,the observation group had lower above scores than the control group(P<0.05).Compared with before treatment,both groups showed a decrease in plasma fibrinogen and D-dimer levels after treatment(P<0.05);after treatment,the observation group showed lower levels of plasma fibrinogen and D-dimer compared with the control group(P<0.05).Compared with before treatment,the peripheral blood CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ levels in both groups significantly increased after treatment,while CD8+ levels significantly decreased(P<0.05);after treatment,the peripheral blood CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,while CD8+ was lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).Neither group had any drug-related side effects.Conclusion On the basis of conventional Western medicine,the combination of Feisu Granules in the treatment of AECOPD with syndrome of phlegm-heat and blood stasis of lung can significantly improve clinical efficacy,improve patient quality of life,facilitate coagulation function recovery,and enhance cellular immune function.

Dandy-Walker syndrome is one of the posterior fossa malformations, which is easily confused with arachnoid cyst or cerebellar dysplasia in clinical practice, leading to misdiagnosis. Dandy-Walker syndrome is easy to be combined with hydrocephalus, resulting in increased intracranial pressure, increased head circumference, growth retardation, spastic hemiplegia and other manifestations, and can also be accompanied by other nervous system malformations. On February 27, 2021, a child with Dandy-Walker syndrome with growth retardation as the primary manifestation was admitted to Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine. After multiple surgical treatment, the child's hydrocephalus was significantly improved. Through the analysis of the clinical data of the child's operation and the treatment of complications, it is helpful to improve the clinicians' understanding of the surgical treatment of the disease.

Objective To evaluate biomechanical properties of the personalized titanium alloy short femoral prosthesis by finite element analysis. Methods Based on the validated femoral finite element model, the base of the femoral neck was simulated, and by inserting different short femoral prostheses, four total hip replacement (THR) models, namely, the SMF stem model (Model A), BE1 stem model (Model B), MINI stem model (Model C) and personalized stem model (Model D) were established, respectively. The same loads and constraints were applied to four groups of models, and the von Mises stress distribution and deformation were calculated and analyzed, so as to compare mechanical stability of each model. Results The deformation of all THR models was smaller than that of the femur model under physiological state. The deformation of Model B was close to that of Model C, and the deformation of Model A was close to that of Model D. The peak stress of Model C was higher than that of the other 3 models, reaching 9555 MPa. The overall stress trend was Model C > Model B > Model D> Model A > Model under physiological state. Conclusions The peak stress, stress distribution of personalized short femoral stem were similar to that of SMF stem, with reasonable stress distribution, small stress shielding of the proximal femur, minimum overall deformation and shear stress of the prosthesis, and its effectiveness and stability could meet the requirements of human biomechanics, which could provide references for joint surgeons and prosthesis researchers.
