ObjectiveTo investigate the short-term effect of health education intervention on the recovery of new schizophrenia patients. Methods82 patients were randomly divided into observation group, in which patients accepted routine antipsychotic medication, general nursing and system health education intervention, and control group, in which patients accepted antipsychotic medication and general nursing. Brief psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) and Positive And Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) were used to assess the effects. ResultsThere was no difference in the score of every factor before intervention (P>0.05), but it became different after intervention (P<0.01 or P<0.05). ConclusionHealth education intervention can improve the effect on schizophrenia.

Objective To explore the causes of subclinical hypothyrodism in children and the effects of the interventional therapy with thyroixine on the course of it.Methods Two hundreds children with subclinical hypothyroidism were measured for thyroglobulin antibody(TGAb),thyroid microsomal antibody(TMAb) in the blood serum,examined by colord Dopplor ultrasonic,examined by fine needle aspiraton cytology of the throid and measured the rate of 131I absorbed by thyroid in order to find out the causes of the disease.Two hundreds cases were randomly divided into two groups on the base of the cause of diseases,treatment group 100 cases and control group 100 cases.The treatment group were treated by throxine 25-75 ?g/d and the therapeutic dosage were chosen with the normal value of free triiodothyronine(FT3),free thyroxine(FT4)and high sensitive thyrotropin(sTSH) in the blood serum .After one year thyroxine therapy were stopped.Thyroid function was examined 6 months later after stopping the thyroxine.Results Among all of the causes of subclinical hypothyroidism in children,Hasgumoto′s thyroiditis accounts for 56%,simple goiter accounts for 26%,antithyroid drug accounts for 6%,the lack of thyroxine substitution therapy on the hypothyroidism accounts for 5% and undefined causes accounts for 7% .The thyroid function could keep normal for 1 year with an alternative therapy with thyroxine on subclinical hypothyroidism in children.Half a year later after stopping thyroxine,the thyroid function turned normal in most of the children.There were obvious differences in the ratio of cure and the ratio of effectiveness between treatment group and control group (t=20.2,3.2 Pa

?-arbutin is biosynthesized by whole cell method with Xanthomona maltophilia BT-112.The conditions for cell biosynthesized ?-arbutin are investigated as follows:temperature,25℃;concentration of hydroquinone,30mmol/L;mol ratio of sucrose and hydroquinone,20∶1;time course of ?-arbutin biosynthesis,45 hours;rotational speed,160r/min;concentration of Xanthomona maltophilia BT-112,85g/L;concentration of K-2HPO-4-KH-2PO-4 buffer solution,25mmol/L;pH of K-2HPO-4-KH-2PO-4 buffer solution,8.0.Under the above optimal conditions,the maximum of molar conversion yield based on the amount of hydroquinone supplied reaches 86.7%.

Objcetives To sparch for the change of cerebrospinal fluid ferritin (CSF-Ft) content and its clinical significance.Methods The 42 patients with acute lymphatic leukemia(ALL)diagnosed by bone marrow biopsy were divided into 3 groups. There were 14 cases in Ⅰ group [introduced therapy stage without central nervous system leukemia(CNSL)7, 24 cases in Ⅱgroup (complete remission stage without CNSL) and 18 cases in Ⅲ grotip (with CNSL). There were 17 patients with viral encephalitis in viral encephalitis group and 15 patients without central nervous system oisease in control group. The CSF-Ft and SFt were determined by radioimmunoassay.Results The CSF-Ft contents of Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ 、viral encepbalitis and control groups are 7.03 ?2.21 ?g/L,6.75 ?1.94?g/L, 31.06 ? 8.85?g/L, 7.26?1.83?g/L and 6.52 ?1.57?g/L. The CSF-Ft content in Ⅲ group are bigher than that in the other group (P

AIM: To evaluate the safety of the laser peripheral iridoplasty ( LPIP ) for the early-stage chronic primary angle-closure glaucoma ( ECPACG) .
METHODS:Sixty-five eyes of 36 patients with ECPACG received LPIP. At preoperative and postoperative, patients were examined with intraocular pressure ( IOP ) , anterior chamber, optical coherence tomography ( OCT) , visual acuity, visual field, fundus and complications. The mean follow-up was 18. 2±6. 7mo (ranged 12~24mo).
RESULTS: The preoperative average IOP were 23. 8±5.6mmHg, postoperative 1wk, 1, 3, 6, 12mo and in the last follow-up time the average IOP were 18. 7±3. 8, 17. 9±3. 2, 17. 6±3. 5, 18. 4±3. 7, 18. 6±3. 7, and 18. 6±7. 8mmHg. There was statistical difference comparing with preoperative (P<0. 05, decreasing average 6. 5±3. 1mmHg compared with the preoperative, the difference was statistically significant (t=5. 32, P<0. 05). Postoperative 1wk, 1, 3, 6mo, the trabecular-iris angle ( TIA500 ) and the angle opening distance at 500μm ( AOD500 ) had the statistical difference comparing with preoperative ( P <0.05). At Postoperative 1a and the last follow-up time, the TIA500 and AOD500 did not have statistical difference comparing with preoperative (P>0. 05). The postoperative visual acuity, visual field, fundus had not changed. There were no complications found.
CONCLUSION:LPIP is safe, and has the short time effect in the treatment of ECPACG. With elapse of time, the effect of LPIP is weakened. We can repeat the treatment.

Objective To explore the effect of Melatonin(MT) on CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cell (CD4+CD25+Tr)and airway inflammation in asthmatic rat.Methods Thirty-two SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups,8 rats in each group.Asthmatic group:rats were immunized on day 1 and 7 by intraperitoneal inject of mixture of ovalbumin(OVA) and aluminumhydroxide.From day 14,the animals were allenged with aerosolized OVA for 20 min per day for 7 consecutive days.MT group:OVA-sensitized rats were injected intraperitoneally with 0.1 mg/kg MT 30 min before each OVA challenge.Dexamethasone group:OVA-sensitized rats were injected intraperitoneally with 0.5 mg/kg Dexamethasone 30 min before each OVA challenge.Control group:OVA for inhalation and MT for intraperitoneal injection was replaced with saline.After the last challenge,peripheral blood was stained to count the percentage of eosinophil(EOS).Then the rats were lavaged and total leukocytes counts in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) were performed after staining with Wright-Giemsa staining.The EOS counts around the airway was counted after the histological section of lung staining with hematoxylin and eosin staining.The serum level of immunoglobulin E(IgE) was detected by immunoenhancement.The change of CD4+CD25+Tr was assessed with flow cytometry.SPSS 10.0 software was applied to analyze data. Results In asthmatic rats,the CD4+CD25+ Tr/ CD4+T cells ratio had significant negative relationship with the EOS counts around the airway and the total leukocytes counts in BALF (r=-0.73 P0.05).There was a significant decrease in the percentage of the eosinophils in peripheral blood,the eosinophil counts around the airway,the total leukocytes counts in BALF and the serum level of IgE in MT group compared with asthmatic group (Pa

The chemical consitituents from cytotoxic fraction of the Callicarpa nudiflora extract were isolated and purified by a combination of HP-20 macroporous resin, silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatographies. The structures were elucidated on the basis of the spectroscopic data and comparison of their spectroscopic data with reported data. The cytotoxicity was evaluated by the MTT assay. The 50% and 70% EtOH elutions of EtOH-extract showed significant cytotoxic activities, leading to the isolation of twelve compounds, which were identified as luteoloside(1), lutedin-4'-O-β-D-glucoside(2), 6-hydroxyluteolin-7-O-β-glucoside(3), lutedin-7-O-neohesperidoside(4), rhoifolin (5), luteolin-7, 4'-di-O-glucoside (6), forsythoside B (7), acteoside (8), alyssonoside (9), catalpol(10), nudifloside(11), and leonuride(12). Compounds 3-6, 10 and 12 were isolated from this genus for the first time, and compound 9 was isolated from this plant for the first time. The cytotoxicity assay demonstrated that flavonoids 1-6, in various concentrations, showed monolithic proliferation inhibitory activities against Hela, A549 and MCF-7 cell lines. Compounds 3, 5 and iridoid glycoside 11 possessed higher cytotoxicacivities. In short, flavonoids are the main components of cytotoxic extract from C. nudiflora, while phenylethanoid glycosides are the predominant ingredient but inactive to cancer cell lines. In addition, the minor iridoid glycoside expressed weak cytotoxic activity.
