Objective To assess the depression and cognition function in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSAHS) , and to study the relationship between the depression and severity of OSAHS, cognition disorders. Methods A total of 74 OSAHS patients (OSAHS group) and 39 normal controls ( control group) which all diagnosed by polysomnography (PSG) were chosen, and they were assessed the state of depression by self-rating depression scale ( SDS) and for cognition disorders by mini-mental state examination ( MMSE ). Results The score of SDS in OSAHS group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.01). In patients with OSAHS , the score of SDS was positively correlated with apnea hyponea index ( AHI) , which was negatively correlated with mean level of SaO_2 ( MSaO_2 ) and the lowest SaO_2 ( LSaO_2 ) (P<0.01 ). The score of MMSE in OSAHS group was significantly lower than that in the control group, which was negatively correlated with AHI(P<0.01) and positively correlated with MSaO_2 and the lowest LSaO_2(P<0.01 ). The score of SDS was negatively correlated with MMSE( r= -0.505, P<0.01). Conclusion OSAHS patients exit depression and cognition disorders, which was correlation to intermitten hypoxemia in frequently.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the profitability of listed pharmaceutical enterprises in China,and to investigate the ba-sic profitability path. METHODS:With the help of DuPont financial analysis system,the financial data of the listed companies and other manufacturing industry during 2007-2013 were collected and compared in terms of the return on equity(ROE),profit margin (PM),asset turnover (ATO) and equity multiplier (EM),etc. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:During 2007-2013,average ROE and PM of listed pharmaceutical companies both were higher than those of other manufacturing industry(10.00% vs. 6.40%, 11.50% vs. 6.49%);while average ATO and EM were lower than other manufacturing industry (0.65 vs. 0.73,1.90 vs. 2.19), with statistical significance(P<0.05). It has advantages in core earnings and product profitability while disadvantage in asset turn-over and financial leverage for the listed pharmaceutical companies. Listed pharmaceutical companies’gross margin was higher (42.87% vs. 22.07%),but was offset by the higher ratio of expenses to sales(18.24% vs. 5.61%)and insufficient utilization ratio of circulating assets. To change this situation,listed pharmaceutical enterprises should focus on circulation cost saving and the im-provement of assets operation ability,especially enhancing the utilization ratio of current assets.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of endothelin antagonist on ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced pigmentation in guinea pigs.Methods A skin pigmentation model was established by UVB irradiation in guinea pigs.The modeled animals were divided into 3 groups to be treated with sodium chloride physiological solution (blank control group),an endothelin antagonist (endothelin antagonist group) and arbutin (positive control group),respectively.Before the UVB irradiation,as well as after 15-and 30-day UVB irradiation,Mexameter(R) MX 18 was used to detect the melanin index in the dorsal skin of guinea pigs.After 30-day consecutive treatment,melanin index,the number of melanocytes in the epidermis and melanin content were compared among the above 3 groups.Results After 30-day UVB irradiation,the melanin index in the 9 UVB-irradiated areas on the dorsal skin of guinea pigs significantly increased compared with that before the radiation (P ＜ 0.0001).After 30-day treatment with the 1‰ endothelin antagonist,the melanin index in the UVB-irradiated areas significantly decreased compared with that in the positive control group (P ＜ 0.0001).Melanin content index-1 (MCI-1) was significantly lower in the endothelin antagonist group than in the blank control group (P ＜ 0.05),while no significant difference in MCI-2 was observed among the 3 groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Topical application of the endothelin antagonist has a certain therapeutic effect on UVB-induced pigmentation in guinea pigs.

The treatment group, tunnel knife was used to make double- deck sclera flap and superficial scleral flap about the size of 5mm×5. 5mm, 1/3 scleral thickness, under the sclera flap made another one about the size of 3. 5mm× 4mm, 1/3 scleral thickness, resected the middle layer of the sclera flap, removed 2mm×2mm trabecular tissue, underwent routine peripheral iridectomy, could adjust suture the superficial scleral flap, sutured Ball fascia and bulbar conjunctiva. ln control group, routine glaucoma trabeculectomy was undergone.RESULTS:Patients were followed up for 1a, the vision in treatment group was obviously better than that in the control group, with a statistically significant difference (P< 0. 05). The postoperative intraocular pressure of the two groups of patients were significantly lower than that of the preoperative one. Postoperative 1 and 3mo, no statistical significant difference of intraocular pressure in two group(P>0. 05). But after 6 and 12mo, the intraocular pressure of the treatment group were significantly lower than that of the control group, with statistically significant difference (P<0. 05). Postopeartive 1a, the cumulative complete success rate and conditions for successful rate were 90. 63% and 96. 88% in the treatment group, and those were 75% and 89. 29% in control group. There was significant difference between two groups(P<0. 05).CONCLUSlON:The trabeculectomy have a good effect to lower the intraocular pressure by use tunnel knife to make double-deck scleral flap and to cut off the layer scleral flap. The scleral flap have uniform thickness, smooth surface, and the function of the filtering bleb maintained for a long time, less postoperative complications, suitable for various types of glaucoma, so it is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective To determine the effects of hypoxia inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α) expression on postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy in esophageal carcinoma. Methods 95 cases with esophageal carcinoms who received radical operation were analyzed with followed-up data from 1995 to 1998.Expression of HIF-1α in 45 patients with esophageal carcinoma who received radiotherapy after radical operation were deternlined by immunohistochemical method in contrast with 50 patients with esophageal carcinoma received surgery alone.Kaplan-Meier method and COX proportional hazard model were used to analyze.Results The positive expression of HIF-1α in esophageal carcinoma was observed mainly in the nucleus of tumor cells.The positive expression rate of HIF-1α in esophageal carcinoma was 58.9%.The expression of HIF-1α had no relationship with age,sex,histologic subtype and T stage,but had positive relationship with recurrence and distant metastasis.There was significant difference between patients with positive and negative HIF-1α protein expression in surgery alone and postoperation radiotherapy group. COX model analysis showed that HIF-1α had separate and significant impacts on prognosis in surgery group and surgery plus radiotherapy group. Conclusion Over expression of HIF-1α protein suggests a poor prognosis,and has tendency to resist radiotherapy in esophageal carcinoma.

Objective To study the effects of quercetin(QUE) on proliferation of rat glioma C6 cell line in vitro.Methods The cells were divided into 5 treatment groups(10,25,50,75 and 100 ?mol?L~(-1) QUE),blank control and menstruum control group.The rat C6 cells were cultivated to 1?10~6?mL~(-1) in the RPMI 1640 medium,then added into 96 holes board with various doses of QUE by 3 holes per group,and MTT assay was used to observe the proliferation of the cells treated for 24,48 and 72 h.The change of cell cycle was also observed by flow cytometry(FCM) after the cells were treated with 50 and 100 ?mol?L~(-1) QUE for 48 h.The changes of the protein P53 and Bcl-2 of C6 cells treated with 50 ?mol?L~(-1) QUE for 48 h were detected by immunocytochemical methods.(Results With) the augmentation of QUE and the extension of the treated time,the C6 cell growth was inhibited,the A values decreased and the cell number in G_0/G_l phase was increased,the cell numbers in S and G_2/M phases were cut down,and the decreased expression of Bcl-2 protein and the increased expression of P53 protein were also observed after treatment with QUE.Conclusion Inhibitory effect of QUE on C6 cell line is proved to be dependent on the treated time of the drug and the dose of QUE,and the induced apoptosis of C6 cells is implemented by the means of up-regulation of P53 protein expression and down-regulation of Bcl-2 protein expression.
