Objective To explore the effects of intensive health education on psychological stress of outpatients with chronic HBV infection. Methods A convenient sample of 80 patients was selected as the subjects of the study. They were randomly allocated to the control and the intervention group with 40 patients in each group. The intervention group received intensive heath education, which was designed spe-cially by researcher, while the control group just received the routine clinic health education. Demographic Data Recording Form (DDRF) and the Perceived Stress Scale specific to Hepatitis B Patients (PSSH) were used to assess the intervention effect pre-treatment and 3 months after intervention. Results The scores of PSSH were high in two groups before intervention. Compared with the control group, the intensive health education decreased the score of PSSH more significantly in the intervention group. Conclusions The intensive heath education can reduce the psychological stress of the outpatients with chronic HBV infection.

Objective To summarize the experience of surgical management of carotid tumors ( CBT ) and application of shunt between common and internal carotid artery intraoperatively. Methods Thirty patients of CBT (mean age:39. 2 ±2. 3 years old,10 male and 20 female, 15 in left, 14 in right and 1 in both sides) who underwent surgical resection, were retrospectively reviewed. The average size of CBT was 4.9 ±0.3 cm. The diagnosis was established by ultrasound, CT, MRI or carotid arteriography. 16 patients underwent surgical resection of CBT, 10 patients underwent additional ligation of external carotid artery, and 4 patients underwent additional intraoperative shunt between common and internal carotid artery. Results Surgical procedures were successfully performeded in all 30 patients with CBT. Intraoperative shunts were successfully used between common and internal carotid artery in 4 patients. The postoperative complications included hoarseness (15) , bucking (11), crooked tongue ( 17) , dyspnea (1), dysphagia(3). There was no hemiplegia and death. Conclusion Surgical resection is the choice of treatment of carotid body tumor. The application of intraoperative shunt between common and internal carotid artery in complicated Shamblin Ⅲ stage is safe and effective.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of endoscopic intranasal structure reconstruction surgery for rhinogenous headache. Methods 82 cases of rhinogenous headache were given endoscopic intranasal structure reconstruction. Compared VAS scores before and 6 months after treatment, counted the effective rate. Results Among the 82 patients, 69 patients(84. 1%) were cured, 8 cases (9. 8%) were of obvious effect, 5 cases (6. 1%) were invalid, and the total efficiency was 93. 9%. VAS scores of the mucosal contact headache group before treatment were greater than that of the sinus headache group (P<0. 05). Compared with VAS scores before treatment, both of the two groups had lower VAS scores after treatment (P<0. 05), but there was no significant difference between the two groups after treat-ment (P>0. 05). Conclusion Endoscopic surgical operation can remove the extrusion of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses and factors of nasal congestion, and then reconstruct normal anatomical structure of nasal cavity, thus restoring normal function of paranasal sinuses. It has good therapeutic effect on rhinogenic headache.

AIM: To study the effect of genistein on activation and proliferation of T cells,and explore the molecular mechanism of genistein. METHODS: Fluorescence conjugated monoclonal antibodies and flow cytometry were used to detect the express of CD69 and CD25 by activated T cells in vitro in response to Concanavalin (ConA )and Phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate(PDB) or T cell proliferation stained by CFSE in response to PDB / Ionomycin or ConA. RESULTS: Genistein inhibited the expression of CD69 and CD25 in activated T cells in response to Con A in a concentration-dependent manner and in response to PDB in a high concentration. Genistein inhibited proliferation of T cells in both groups in a concentration-dependent manner. CONCLUSION: Genistein inhibited activation and proliferation of T cells in vitro in response to polyclonal stimulus,and it may hold potential as a new immunosuppressant.

Objective: To investigate the outcome and inlfuencing factors of graft vessels including saphenous vein graft (SVG) and left internal mammary artery graft (LIMAG) in patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods: A total of 92 patients with post-CABG symptom recurrence from 2010 to 2015 were analyzed by angiography and clinical features for their native coronary vessel and graft vessel. There were 83 male and 9 female patients with the mean age of (62.6±10.8) years. The outcomes of graft vessel were assessed; correlation study was conducted between SVG, LIMAG lesions and traditional atherosclerosis risk factors like age, gender, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetic mellitus, smoking, family history of coronary artery disease (CAD) with other clinical factors such as the time of angina recurrence, thetime from coronary angiography (CAG) to CABG, type of SVG (sequential graft or individual graft), the features of native target vessel lesions prior grafting. Results: The average time from CABG to symptom recurrence was (35.10±24.7) months. There were 146 grafts including 52 LIMAG and 94 SVG (60 individual and 34 sequential grafts), the patency rate of LIMAG was higher than SVG (63.5% vs 44.7%),P=0.030. SVG lesion was positively related to symptom recurrence (OR=1.119, 95% CI 1.002-1.249,P=0.046) and trended to female gender (P=0.065), while not related to other clinical factors; LIMGA lesion was not related to any clinical factors. The patency rate of sequential SVG was higher than individual SVG (58.9% vs. 36.7%,P=0.038). The native target vessel lesion (deifned by pre-operative occlusion/stenosis) was similar between individual SVG group (24/14) and no-lesion SVG group (17/5),P=0.388; while the native target vessel lesion in LIMAG group (7/12) was lower than no-lesion LIMAG group (23/10),P=0.04. Conclusion: Post-CABG lesion was not obviously related to traditional risk factors of CAD, post-SVG lesion was positively related to the time of post-CABG angina recurrence. SVG mid-and long-term patency in sequential graft vessel was higher than that in individual graft vessel. Pre-CABG native coronary blood lfow would affect the outcome of individual LIMAG but not SVG.

Objective To explore the effect of lysophosphatidic acid(LPA)on blood-brain barrier(BBB) permeability and its possible mechanism.Methods LPA or LPA+suramin(L+S)were stereotaxically injected into the right eaudate nucleus in SD rats in vivo.Evans blue(EB)was used to quantitatively measure the permeability of BBB at different time points.The expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 was detected by immunohistochemistry technique.The pathological ultrastruetural changes of BBB were assessed by transmission electron microscopy.Results The BBB permeability began to increase after LPA administered into ipsilateral eaudate nucleus,and reached the peak at 24h.Then the permeability of BBB gradually lowered after 48h.In comparison with the same time points of control group,there were quite significant differences(P<0.01).After L+S was injected,the change of BBB permeability had differences in comparison with those of LPA group in the same time points,(P<0.05).MMP-9 positive cells were mainly vascular endothelial cells.The numbers of MMP-9 positive blood vessels grew at 6h in LPA group,and the expression of it reached maximum at 24h,then the number of it decreased at 48h,showing significant statistical differences in comparison with the L+S group(P<0.01),It was observed microscopically that ultrastrueture of BBB of the LPA group was changed sharply,such as basement membrane roughed and fragmented,astroeyte end-feet swolled markedly and perivaseular space enlarged obviously.But there were no remarkable changes in BBB in L+S group.Conclusion LPA can induce increase of BBB permeability and its possible mechanism is the strong expression of MMP-9 protein produeted by endothelial cells through the mediation of LPA receptor,leading to degradation of basement membrane.
