Objectives To examine clinical characteristics,predisposing factors,treatment and care of depression and/or anxiety symptoms in hospitalized patients with cardiovascular diseases.Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical data of 1 005 hospitalized patients with cardiovascular diseases at our hospital from January 2015 to December 2015 was conducted and psychological assessment for all patients was carried out using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale and the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale.The incidence of depression and anxiety and predisposing factors were investigated.The effectiveness of psychological intervention in addition to cardiovascular medications was evaluated.Results The overall incidence of depression and anxiety was 23.4％ (235 cases) among the 1 005 hospitalized patients with cardiovascular diseases.Of the 235 cases,73 cases(31.1％) had anxiety,33 cases had depression (14.0％),and 129 cases had both anxiety and depression (54.9％).The occurrence of anxiety was significantly higher than that of depression(P＜0.05).Risk factors for anxiety and depression in patients with cardiovascular diseases included work-related fatigue,working conditions and health status.The rate of effectiveness of psychological intervention was 95.4％,and no serious adverse events were observed.Conclusions Depression and anxiety are common in hospitalized cardiovascular patients and can be attributed to factors such as work-related fatigue,working conditions and health status.Favorable clinical outcomes can be achieved through psychological interventions,in addition to cardiovascular drug therapy.

OBJECTIVETo compare clinical effects between percutaneous compressing plating (PCCP) and proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) for the treatment of patients with intertrochanteric fracture with risk external wall.

METHODSFrom September 2007 to June 2010, 43 patients with intertrochanteric fracture with risk external wall were treated by PCCP or PFNA according to different kinds of internal fixations. There were 22 cases in PCCP, including 9 males and 13 females with an average age of 68.4 (ranged, 60 to 86) years old, and 13 cases with type A2.2 and 9 cases with type A2.3; while 21 cases in PFNA, including 7 males and 14 females with an average age of 67.7 (ranged, 57 to 93) years old, and 10 cases with type A2.2 and 11 cases with type A2.3. Blood loss, operation time, hospital stay, fracture healing time, complications and Harris score after 1 years' following-up were observed and compared.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up for 12 to 22 (means 18.4) months, and all patients were obtained fracture healing, and recovered walking ability as before injury. There were no significant differences in blood loss, operation time, hospital stay, fracture healing time, complications and Harris score after 1 years' following-up (P>0.05). One case occurred displacement on the top of greater trochanter, and 1 case injuried weakness of hip abduction. One case occurred screw breakage in PCCP, while 1 case occurred hip joint pain in PFNA.

CONCLUSIONBoth of PCCP and PFNA in treating patients with intertrochanteric fracture with risk external wall can receive good clinical effects, while the effects and therapy strategy for displacement of bone on the top of lateral wall should further study.

Objective To evaluate the effect of the high concentration of sevoflurane wash-in in induction of anesthesia on the cardiac function in young infants.Methods ASA Ⅰ young infants,aged 28-60 days,undergoing resection of hemangioma on body surface under general anesthesia,were studied.According to the principle of randomized block design,8 blocks were designed based on the body weight (3.0-3.4 kg,3.5-3.9 g,4.0-4.4 kg,4.5-4.9 kg,5.0-5.4 kg,5.5-5.9 kg,6.0-6.4 kg,6.5-6.9 kg),with 3 infants in each block.The infants were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =8 each):anesthesia induction with 6％,7％ and 8％ sevoflurane groups (groups S1-3).In groups S1-3,the infants inhaled 6 ％,7 ％ and 8 ％ sevoflurane respectively for induction of anesthesia.Transthoracic echocardiographic examinations were performed before sevoflurane inhalation (baseline,T1) and at 4 min of sevoflurane inhalation (T2) to record the stroke volume (SV),left ventricle end-diastolic volume (LVEDV),ejection fraction (EF),stroke volume index (SI),heart rate (HR),cardiac output (CO),cardiac index (CI),peak early diastolic velocity of mitral annulus (Ea),peak late diastolic velocity of mitral annulus (Aa),peak systolic velocity of mitral annulus (Sa),and Tei index.The mitral annulus poteroseptal Ea/Aa (Ea/Aa) was calculated.Results Compared with the baseline value,SV,EF,SI,Ea/Aa and Tei index were significandy increased,HR,Sa,Ea and Aa were significantly decreased (P ＜ 0.05),and no significant change was found in LVEDV,CO and CI at 4 min of sevoflurane inhalation in groups S1-3 (P ＞ 0.05).Tei index was significantly higher in groups S2.3 than in group S1 (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the parameters of cardiac function between group S2 and group S3 (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion 6 ％,7 ％ and 8 ％ sevoflurane wash-in in induction of anesthesia exert no effect on the cardiac function in young infants,and the 3 concentrations can be recommended for clinical use.

Objective To study the expression of Rho kinase and its functional activation in lung tissue from hypoxic pulmonary hypertension(HPH) rat model,and the effects of fasudil on HPH.Methods Seventy-two male Spraque-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the control group,hypoxic model group,and fasudil-intervention group[group with hypoxia and fasudil for 15 mg/(kg?d)],respectively.Mean pulmonary arterial pressure(mPAP) and right ventricle hypertrophy index(RVHI) were measured.Expression of Rho kinase mRNA and protein were examined by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) and Western blot,respectively.The phosphorylation of binding subunit of myosin phosphatase(MBS)-a substrate of Rho kinase was detected by Western blot and defined,as the mark of functional activation of the kinase.Results The expression of Rho kinase mRNA in hypoxic model group was markedly upregulated even before the onset of the third day after the experiment(HPH),and it was much lower in rats of fasudil group than that of hypoxic model group.The phosphorylation of MBS was significantly higher in hypoxic model group than that in control group,and it was positively correlated with the mPAP and RVHI(all P

Objective To assess the clinical efficacy and safety of transurethral plasmakinetic enucleation of prostate (PKEP) and suprapubic transvesical prostatectomy (SPP) in the treatment of large volume benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods A total of eighty patients with large volume BPH were selected in the First People''s Hospital of Xuzhou from March 2014 to December 2016,and they were randomly divided into two groups,the PKEP group and SPP group,with 40 cases in each group.The comparison was made between the two groups in terms of operation indicators,postoperative complications followed up for 6 months after surgery and other related curative effect indexes.Results In the SPP group,the intraoperative blood loss was significantly higher than that of the PKEP group ((215.7±10.4) ml vs.(75.6±9.2) ml,t=6.541,P<0.05).There was no significant difference between the two groups in operation time and excised gland volume (P>0.05).But the catheterization time after operation,bladder irrigation time and length of hospital stay were significantly longer in the PKEP group than in the SPP group ((6.3±1.8) d vs.(2.4±0.6) d,(5.5±1.4) d vs.(1.3±0.6) d,(7.7±2.3) d vs.(3.1±0.7) d,t=4.357,2.542,2.975,P<0.05);in the 6-month follow-ups after operation,IPSS,Qmax,PVR and QOL were all significantly improved in both groups compared with the indexes collected before the operation (P<0.05),while there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05).The rate of complication occurrence in the PKEP group were lower than that of the SPP group (P<0.05).Conclusion PKEP was effective in the treatment of BPH,with less bleeding loss,fewer complications and quick recovery.It can significantly improve the life quality of the patients and will be an ideal treatment for large volume BPH.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the effectiveness and safety of different doses of rosuvastatin in the treatment of acute ce-rebral infarction. METHODS:Totally 120 patients with acute cerebral infarction were selected from Weifang Yidu Central Hospital during Jan. 2014-Dec. 2015,and then divided into observation group and control group according to admission order,with 60 cas-es in each group. Both groups received routine treatment as Shuxuening injection 10 mL,iv,1-2 times a day(or 20 mL added into 5% Glucose injection 250-500 mL,ivgtt,qd)+Aspirin enteric-coated tablets 0.1 g,po,qd. Control group and observation group were additionally given Rosuvastatin calcium tablets 10 mg and 20 mg,po,qd(after supper). Both groups were treated for 30 d. The levels of serum inflammatory factors(hs-CRP,TNF-α,IL-6),blood lipid indexes(TC,TG,LDL-C),neurological function and activity of daily life score were observed in 2 groups before and after treatment. The clinical efficacy and occurrence of ADR were recorded. RESULTS:Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in the levels of hs-CRP,TNF-α,IL-6,TC,TG and LDL-C,NIHSS scores and Barthel index (BI) scores between 2 groups (P>0.05). After treatment,the levels of hs-CRP, TNF-α,IL-6,TC,TG and LDL-C,NIHSS scores in 2 groups were decreased significantly,while BI scores were decreased signifi-cantly,observation group were significantly better than those of control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). Total re-sponse rate of observation group (93.33%) was significantly higher than that of control group (86.67%),with statistical signifi-cance (P<0.05). The incidence of ADR in observation group (23.33%) was significantly higher than control group (6.67%), with statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Rosuvastatin can significantly reduce the inflammatory reaction and blood lipid level of patients with acute cerebral infarction,inhibit the formation of atherosclerotic plaque and improve prognosis. The large dose of rosuvastatin have better efficacy for acute cerebral infarction and can significantly improve the symptom of neurologi-cal deficits and daily living ability of patients.

Objective:To explore the spatio-temporal dynamics of brain mechanisms in visual change detection by 256-channel event-related potential (ERP) and low-resolution electromagnetic tomography (LORETA) analyses.Methods：ERP were recorded in 12 healthy participants during performing an S1-S2 matching task.Visual stimuli defined by color and shape.Each trial consisted of two sequentially presented stimuli (S1 and S2),where S2 was either the same as S1,different from S1 in shape only,different in color only,or different in both color and shape.Subjects matched the stimuli according to task demands：attending to color and attending to shape.Result：Change condition elicited change-related positivity (CRP) ranging 135～165 ms.The estimated source regions contributing to CRP were lingual gyrus and cuneus of occipital lobe.N200 was elicited in no change and task-irrelevant change condition ranging 235～275 ms.The source for N200 was in the right temporal fusiform gyrus,middle temporal gyrus and parahippocampal gyrus.In the time window of 240～320 ms,N270 was elicited in all change conditions.The N270 source was localizable to the anterior cingulated cortex and amygdala.Conclusion：In the early stage,CRP reflects the preattentive processing of visual changes.The LORETA result confirms that CRP is generated in the early visual areas.N200 may be related to the active ignored processing of task-irrelevant change.The source for N200 is in the right temporal fusiform gyrus,middle temporal gyrus and parahippocampal gyrus.In the late stage,N270 reflects the advanced processing of visual change in the human brain.The N270 source may be in anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and amygdala.

Objective To observe the effects of an enriched environment (EE) on cognitive functioning and the synaptic plasticity of mice modeling post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) and explore the possible mechanisms involved.Methods Mice modeling PSCI and sham-operated mice were randomly divided into 3 groups:sham-operated mice in a standard environment (the Sham+SE group),PSCI mice in a standard environment (the PSCI+SE group) and PSCI mice in an enriched environment (the PSCI+EE group).The cognitive functioning of all of the mice was quantified using a Morris water maze and their hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP) was recorded using an electrophysiological method.The level of synaptophysin was detected using Western blotting.Synaptic ultrastructure in the hippocampus was imaged using electron microscopy.Results Compared with the Sham +SE group,the PSCI+SE group showed significantly poorer water maze performance and failed induction of contralateral LTP.Their average level of synaptophysin was significantly lower,and significant adverse changes in the synaptic ultrastructure of the hippocampus were observed,including a decreased number of synapses.The average width of the synaptic cleft,postsynaptic density and the interface curvature of the synapses were all less desirable.All of the measurements of the PSCI+EE group improved significantly compared to those of the PSCI+SE group,but were still significantly poorer than those of the Sham+SE group.Conclusions An enhanced environment can improve the cognitive functioning of mice modelling PSCI.It may be that an EE can improve synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus contralateral to the stroke.
