BACKGROUND: Reactive depression and depressive neurosis are both psychogenic emotional disorders, clinically manifested by memory deterioration,impaired concentration, slow reaction, and bradyphrenia, among other cognitive function impairments. These subjective experiences of such patients still need to be backed up for their actual presence by objective laboratory evidences, which,however, have been scarcely available to our current knowledge.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the changes of auditory event-related Potential (AERP) P300 in patients with reactive depression and depressive neurosis, and their correlation with cognitive function impairments.DESIGN: Case-controlled experiment.SETTING: Clinical Center of Psychological Counseling, Department of Neurology, Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA. PARTICIPANTS: Forty normal control subjects were recruited from the staff of Southwest Hospital, Third Military Medical University between September 1997 and March 1998, including 21 male and 19 female subjects aged 20-50 years. Eighty patients were selected from the agematched outpatients of the same hospital seeking psychological counseling,including 40 with reactive depression (consisting of 29 male and 11 female patients) and 40 with depressive neurosis (consisting of 24 male and 16 female patients). From these patients 10 with abnormal P300 potential were randomly selected for followed-up study, including4 with reactive depression and4 with depressive neurosis.METHODS: All the patients and normal controls were subjected to conventional examination of AERP P300 in the Laboratory of Cerebral Electrophysiology, and psychological evaluation was carried out by specialists with the assistance of Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Results of AERP P300 examination and scores of Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale in the 80 patients upon admission and 4 and 8 weeks after treatment, and results of AERP P300 examination in the control group. ② Results of AERP P300 examination and scores of Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale in the follow-up group. RESULTS: All subjects finished the study. The latency of all waves were remarkably prolonged in the patients as compared to the normal control group (P < 0.05-0.01), with also lower amplitude of AERP than that of the control group; the amplitudes of N1, P2 and N2 waves, in general,tended to decrease to statistically significant levels. In reactive depression group, the amplitude of P3 wave was obviously lower than that of the control group [(10.39±4.40) vs (15.11±4.16) μV, P < 0.001], and the amplitudes of all waves in the neurosis group was obviously lower than those of the control group. Comparison of the latency and amplitude of P3 in the follow-up group before and after treatment revealed no significant difference in the latency of P3 [(314.10±44.08) vs (295.4±20.74) ms, t=1.21, P < 0.05], but the amplitude of P3 obviously increased after treatment to almost the normal level [(6.38±2.50) vs (14.22±2.51) μV, t=-7.012, P < 0.001].CONCLUSION: Patients with reactive depression or depressive neurosis have cognitive function impairment, and auditory event-related potential P300 can be used as a reference for cognitive evaluation and therapeutic effect assessment in these patients.

The phospholipase A2 ( PLA2 ) is one of the main constituents of the bee venom. Its hypotensive effect and mechanism are studied in this report.In the anaesthetized rats and cats, the PLA2 of the bee venom given intravenously caused a quick and profound fall in the arterial blood pressure.The results of this study indicate that its hypotensive effect is mainly concerned with releasing the endogenous histamine. If the antagonists of H1 and H2 receptor are administered together, its hypotensive action will be countered.

Objective To establish animal model for hypertrophic scar and study the characters of its morphology and collagen metabolism. Methods A total of 64 round wounds (diameter of 6 mm each) with total skin loss were made on the ventral side of rabbit ear using a trephine. Morphology and collagen metabolism of scar wounds were studied at 14,21,35,70 and 98 days after operation, respectively. Results There were 76% elevated scars developed (45/59 wounds) on the ventral side of rabbit ear at 21 days and 46% elevated scars disappeared (11/24) at 98 days after operation. There were numerous fibroblast proliferation and whorl-arranged collagen fibers at 21 and 35 days. The number of fibroblast decreased, but irregular-arranged fibers still presented in the elevated scars at 70 and 98 days after operation. Hydroxyproline content in elevated scars at 21 days was higher than that in normal skin (P<0.05), and at 35 days was 3 times as that in normal skin and at 98 days was also markedly higher than that in normal skin (P<0.05). Conclusion Excessive deposition of collagen is a characteristic of hypertrophic scar in rabbits. The conversion of normal scarring to hypertrophic scarring in rabbits occurs at 14~21 days after operation. Both development and regression of hypertrophic scar in rabbit are quicker than that in human.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), gestational random fasting glucose maximum, weight gain during pregnancy, and the occurrence of macrosomia in pregnant women diagnosed with gestational diabetes after 28 weeks gestation.Methods:The clinical data of 310 pregnant women with gestational diabetes after 28 weeks of diagnosis in Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University in 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into observation group (96 cases) with macrosomia and control group (214 cases) with normal birth weight according to the weight of newborn. The differences of BMI before pregnancy, the highest value of fasting blood glucose during pregnancy and weight gain during pregnancy between the two groups were analyzed.Results:The pre-pregnancy BMI , the highest value of random fasting blood glucose and weight gain during pregnancy in macrosomia group were significantly higher than those in non macrosomia group ( P<0.05); And the best cut-off point for predicting the delivery of macrosomia in pregnant women with gestational diabetes after 28 weeks of pregnancy was 22.077 kg/m 2, 4.965 mmol/L and 17.400 kg, respectively. The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.646, 0.595 and 0.699 respectively. After correction of confounding factors, the BMI ( OR=1.238, 95% CI: 1.132, 1.354, P<0.001) and weight gain during pregnancy ( OR=1.189, 95% CI: 1.120, 1.262, P<0.001) were risk factors for macrosomia in gestational diabetes mellitus after 28 weeks of gestation ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Pre-pregnancy BMI>22.077 kg/m 2, gestational maximum fasting blood glucose >4.965 mmol/L and gestational weight gain >17.400 kg were all high risk factors for gestational diabetes mellitus pregnant women after 28 weeks. For pregnant women with gestational diabetes, active prenatal intervention and health management are of great significance in reducing the risk of macrosomia.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the global existed diarrhea guidelines of children,and provide evidence and methodology reference for clinical practice and the formulation of diarrhea evidence-based guideline of children in China. METHODS:Retrieved from PubMed,Embase,CBM,CNKI,VIP,Wanfang databases and related websites,references included in studies were retrieved additionally from database building to Dec. 2017. The methodological quality of the guideline was evaluated by 2 researchers independently with guideline evaluation toolⅡ(AGREEⅡ). ICC analysis was used to calculate the differences between the evaluation results of 2 researchers and analyze the difference of the guidelines. RESULTS:A total of 1 168 literatures were collected primarily, and 15 guidelines were involved finally,among which 3 guidelines were from USA,2 from British,2 from WHO,each one from Italy,Europe,India,Australia,Malaysia,New South Wales,South Africa and China,respectively. Of 15 guidelines,there were 10 evidence-based guidelines and 5 non-evidence-based guidelines;evidence levels of guidelines and the method of recommendation intensity were different. ICC of 2 researchers were higher than 0.75(P<0.05),indicating good homogeneity among them. The quality of 15 guidelines were not high enough,and the scores of included guidelines in the field of AGREEⅡin descending order were as follows:scope and purpose(84.44%),clarity of presentation(79.82%),stakeholder involvement(45.74%), rigor of development(41.18%), editorial independence (36.39%)and applicability(33.89%). Main prevention and treatment method recommended by guideline included that(1) prevention and treatment of dehydration was the key link in the treatment of children's diarrhea;(2)guidelines generally believed continuous breastfeeding during rehydration could reduce the risk of dehydration in children;(3)zinc preparation was recommended to shorten the course of diarrhea;(4)antibiotics were used rationally, etc. CONCLUSIONS:The quality of global existed diarrhea guidelines of children should be improved. There is no comprehensive diarrhea evidence- based guideline of children in China,and there is a large discrepancy between the situation of pediatric diarrhea therapy in China and WHO standard;it is urgent to establish a standard treatment. It is suggested to formulate high quality pediatric diarrhea guideline in accordance with the national conditions of China,based on standards for international guideline report, comprehensively considering disease burden and characteristics of pediatric diarrhea in China.

OBJECTIVE:To systematically evaluate the monitoring system for global short drugs,and provide evidence-based reference and policy recommendations for developing the short drug monitoring in China. METHODS:Relevant literatures pub-lished in PubMed,Embase,CNKI,Wanfang,VIP database from building to Apr. 3rd in 2017 were retrieved by using"Drugs (cheap drugs,essential medicines,emergency drugs) storage""Short drugs""Insufficient supply of drugs""Drug shortage"as Chinese keywords,and"Drug storage""Out-of-stock drug""Stortage of medicine""Stock out of medicine"as English keywords. Literatures about monitoring system for short drugs in Baidu,Google and national or regional health administration websites were collected,and general information,data collection,data validation,data reporting method,feedback and improvement measures of monitoring system were extracted. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:Totally 25 literatures were included,20 national or regional health administration websites were retrieved. 11 countries and European Union had established monitoring system for short drugs. The main reporting agencies in each country were different,which were production enterprises,business enterprises and medical in-stitutions. It was mainly reported by network. Data validation was mainly conducted by specialized departments or groups for short drugs in each country. The monitoring reporting included information of short drugs and discontinued drugs. Countermeasures in each country mainly included looking for alternative drugs,encouraging production,temporary import,looking for new or other sources of raw materials and speeding up the approval of short drugs. Besides, precautions included implementation relevant laws and guidelines for short drugs,and increasing the cooper-ation with non-government departments,etc. Monitoring sys-tem for short drugs needs to be further improved in China. Itis suggested to establish monitoring and early warning platform for short drugs,and hierarchical intervention mechanism,improv-ing relevant laws and developing guidelines on managing short drugs.

Objective:To analyzed the urinary microbiota characteristics of upper tract urothelial carcinoma(UTUC) patients.Methods:Urine samples were collected from 23 patients with UTUC (UTUC group) and 22 patients with benign diseases (control group) admitted to Yijishan Hospital, the First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College from July 2021 to July 2022. The differences in age [(60.9±5.7) years vs. (61.4±8.8) years], sex (male/female: 15/8 vs. 9/13), and body mass index [(22.9±1.8) kg/m 2 vs. (23.4±1.7) kg/m 2] between the UTUC group and the control group were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The V4 region of the 16S rRNA of urinary microorganisms was sequenced using the Illumina NovaSeq6000, and the results were processed using QLLME2. Differences in α-diversity between groups were analyzed by using the Shannon, Simpson, and Chao1 indices. Differences in β-diversity between groups were analyzed by using unweighted principal coordinates analysis (PCoA). Linear discriminant analysis Effect Size(LEfSe)was used to identify the bacterial taxa with different abundances between groups. Significant differences were defined as LDA>2. Results:The Chao1 index (703.12±265.54 vs. 506.20±214.02) and Shannon index (5.61±1.85 vs. 5.07±1.34) were significantly higher in the UTUC group compared to that in the control group ( P<0.05). The α-diversity of urinary microbes was elevated in the UTUC group compared to that in the control group but the difference in β-diversity was not statistically significant ( P=0.161). The enrichment of Bacteroidaceae, Ruminococcaceae, Acidaminococcaceae, Thermaceae, Erysipelatoclostridiaceae, and Coriobacteriaceae abundance was higher in the urine of UTUC patients(LDA > 2). Further subgrouping analyses of the UTUC patients showed that the differences in Chao1 index (706.44±271.84 vs. 784.09±272.72), Shannon index (6.04±1.30 vs. 5.91±1.67), and Simpson index (0.94±0.08 vs. 0.89±0.22) between the muscle-invasive group and the non-muscle-invasive group were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The difference in α-diversity between muscle-invasive and non-muscle-invasive group was not statistically significant, but the difference in β-diversity was statistically significant ( P=0.047). The urinary microbial communities of Gammaproteobacteria, Cutibacterium, Rhodococcus and Nocardiaceae were enriched in muscle-invasive group and differed from that in non-muscle-invasive group(LDA>2). Conclusions:This study suggests that the urinary microbial community was more abundant in UTUC patients than in non-UTUC patients and that Bacteroidaceae, Ruminococcaceae, Acidaminococcaceae, Thermaceae, Erysipelatoclostridiaceae, and Coriobacteriaceae were more abundant in the urine of UTUC patients. The urinary microbial community was more abundant in the urine of non-muscle-invasive patients than in the muscle-invasive patients, and Gammaproteobacteria, Cutibacterium, Rhodococcus and Nocardiaceae were more abundant in the urine of non-muscle-invasive patients.

OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Clonidine tansdermal patch for child tic disorders in children, and to provide evidence-based reference for clinical treatment. METHODS: Retrieved from Medline, Embase, Cochrane library, CNKI, VIP, CBM and Wanfang database, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about Clonidine tansdermal patch (trial group) versus other therapies (control group, including placebo group, thiopride group, haloperidol group) for child tic disorders were collected from datbase estallishment to July 2018. The literatures met inclusion criteria were summarized. After quality evaluation with Cochrane system evaluation manual 5.1.0, Meta-analysis of reduction rate (amount) of YGTSS, the incidence of ADR and response rate was performed by using Rev Man 5.3 statistical software. Descriptive analysis was performed on indicators of groups that were unable to perform Meta-analysis. RESULTS: A total of 8 RCTs involving 1 320 patients were included. Among them, 2 RCTs involved placebo in control group; 2 RCTs involved thiopride, 3 RCTs involved haloperidol, and 1 RCT involved thiopride and haloperidol. Results of Meta-analysis showed that reduction rate of YGTSS in trial group were significantly higher than haloperidol group [MD=21.94, 95%CI(21.03, 22.86), P<0.001], but there was no statistical significance compared with thiopride group [MD=10.66, 95%CI(-15.68, 37.00), P=0.43]. The incidence of adverse events (mainly including skin itching, redness, dry mouth, dizziness, decreased blood pressure, abnormal electrocardiogram) in trial group were significantly lower than thiopride group [OR=0.42, 95%CI(0.22, 0.82), P=0.01] and haloperidol group [OR=0.17, 95%CI(0.09, 0.32), P<0.001], but there was no statistical significance compared with placebo group [OR=0.61, 95%CI(0.29, 1.29), P=0.20]. There was no statistical significance in response rate of trial group compared with thiopride group [OR=1.29,95%CI(0.38, 4.39), P=0.69] and haloperidol group [OR=1.63, 95%CI(0.89, 2.96), P=0.11]. The results of descriptive analysis showed that reduction rate (amount) of YGTSS in trial group was significantly higher than that of placebo group (P<0.05), and response rate of trial group was significantly higher than that of placebo group (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: For child tic disorders in children, Clonidine tansdermal patch is better than placebo and haloperidol in reduction rate (amount) of YGTSS, and is similar to thiopride. Response rate of Clonidine tansdermal patch is better than that of placebo, and is similar to those of thiopride and haloperidol. The safety of Clonidine tansdermal patch is better than those of thiopride and haloperidol, and is similar to that of placebo.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate guidelines f or health technology assessment (HTA)at home and abroad ,and to provide reference for scientific formulation of HTA guidelines in China. METHODS :Databases including PubMed ,Embase,Guidenlines International Network and 83 official websites from 26 countries governments and academic organizations were searched to collect HTA guidelines from inception to April 2020. Two reviewers independently screened literature and extracted data ,including basic characteristics, content of guideline and assessment content. Then a descriptive analysis was conducted. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:A total of 19 guidelines published during 2001 to 2018 were included ,7 guidelines(36.8%)were published in 2015-2020;in addition to 1 guideline from WHO ,14 guidelines (73.7%)were published in Europeand ,2 guidelines(10.5%) in North America and 1 guideline each from South America and Asia (5.3%). There were 11 guidelines(57.9%)developed by academic organizations and 8 guidelines(42.1%)by health administration ;11 guidelines(57.9%)were evidence-based ,while the others weren ’t evidence- based (42.1%). The purpose ,content and object of assessment are demonstrated in 19 guidelines;18 guidelines specified the assessment method (94.7%),and 16 guidelines(84.2%)defined the subject of assessment ;14 guidelines (73.7%)specified the HTA assessment process ;12 guidelines(63.3%)mentioned the conflict of interest in HTA assessment process;7 guidelines(36.8%)mentioned the application of assessment results. There are some differences in the formulation methods and contents of HTA guidelines in foreign countries ,but the core contents ar e basically the same. At present ,there is a lack of HTA guidelines in China. We can refer to foreign guidelines,and establish applicable HTA guidelines which aresuitable for national conditions ,so as to provide scientific guidance for HTA research.
