ABSTRACT
Objective:To understand the incidence of sleep disorder in human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) patients before antiviral therapy, and to explore its risk factors.Methods:200 newly treated HIV/AIDS patients who visited the Eighth Affiliated City Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from January to June 2016 were randomly selected. According to the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), they were divided into a good sleep group and a Sleep disorder group; The influencing factors of sleep disorder in HIV/AIDS patients were analyzed by univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression.Results:The incidence of Sleep disorder in 200 HIV/AIDS patients before antiviral therapy was 22.5%(45/200); CD4 + T cell count was (414.13±202.16)/μl; 29%(58/200) of patients had CD4 + T cell counts<200/μl. There were significant differences in CD4 + T cell count and the proportion of patients with syphilis infection, comorbidity anxiety and comorbidity depression between the good sleep group and the Sleep disorder group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that syphilis infection ( OR=4.606; 95% CI: 1.973-10.752; P<0.001), comorbidity anxiety ( OR=2.496; 95% CI: 1.086-5.737; P=0.031) and comorbidity depression ( OR=2.087; 95% CI: 0.915-4.760; P=0.040) were risk factors for sleep disorder in HIV/AIDS patients before antiviral treatment. Conclusions:The incidence of Sleep disorder in HIV/AIDS patients before antiviral therapy in Guangzhou is high, especially in patients with syphilis infection, comorbidity anxiety and comorbidity depression. The sleep disorder of HIV/AIDS patients should be assessed and detected early, and multiple interventions should be taken to improve sleep quality.
ABSTRACT
Neointimal hyperplasia after vascular injury is a representative complication of restenosis. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced unfolded protein response (UPR) is involved in the pathogenesis of vascular intimal hyperplasia. PARP16, a member of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases family, is correlated with the nuclear envelope and the ER. Here, we found that PERK and IRE1

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of Niaoduqing Particles on the microinflammatory state in patients with maintenance hemodialysis. Methods Totally 240 patients with hemodialysis for more than 6 months were randomly divided into conventional hemodialysis group, Chinese medicine group (treated with Niaoduqing Particles) and western medicine group (treated with Vitamin E), 80 cases in each group, with 30 healthy people as control group. The levels of hs-CRP, IL-6 and HCY were detected before and after 1, 3, 6 months of treatment. Results Before treatment, the levels of inflammatory factors in hemodialysis patients were higher than control group. And after 3 months of treatment, the levels of hs-CRP, IL-6 and HCY of Chinese medicine group were decreased. And after 6 months of treatment, the levels of inflammatory factors were decreased obviously compared with pretherapy (P<0.01), and the difference with the conventional hemodialysis group was significant (P<0.01). Compared with pretherapy, the changes of inflammatory factors of western medicine group were statistically insignificant. Conclusion Niaoduqing Particles can significantly improve the microinflammatory state in maintenance hemodialysis patients, and the effect is superior to Vitamin E.
ABSTRACT
Objective To summarize the experiences of 5-year relative living kidney transplantation in the minorities. Methods The clinical data of HLA matching, rejection, survival and causes of death were retrospectively analyzed from 2004 to July 2009. There were 97 blood relative donations, including 1 case of father → son, 1 case of daughter → father, 1 case of mother → son, 24 cases of donation between brother and sister, 2 cases of non-blood relative donors (husband and wife),1 case of inter-ethnics, and the remaining were collateral relative donors. All the donations were voluntary, and all the recipients were minorities and all donors were their blood relatives. There were no mismatch of gene matching of 6 antigenic sites (0 MM) in 1 patient, 1 mismatch point (1 MM) in 2 patients, 2 mismatch points (2 MM) in 5 patients, 3 mismatch points (3 MM) in 10 patients, 4 mismatch points (4 MM) in 21 patients, 5 mismatch points (5 MM) in 39 patients and complete mismatch in 22 patients. Results All donors were discharged after 1 week and followed up for 3-6 months. Blood creatinine was normal and urine protein was negative. Up to July 2009, the conditions of the recipients were as follows: (1) Ninety-one receptors survived after transplantation. The longest survival time was up to 5 years. Among 9 deaths, 1 case died from myocardial infarction, 1 case from hemorrhagic shock and the others from respiratory failure (7 %) ; (2) Two renal grafts lost their functions and the patients restarted dialysis, in whom the preoperative panel reactive antibodies (PRA) of 1 patient was high and the patient had postoperative acute rejection, and the other patient stopped immunosuppressive agents on his own, leading to renal function loss; (3) After transplantation 10 patients had acute rejection, of which 2 cases received methylprednisolone plus OKT3, and the remaining 9 patients were treated with methylprednisolone. All rejections were reversed; (4) Urethral fistula occurred in one case and was improved after 45 days. Three patients had vesicoureteral anastomotic stenosis and were cured surgically. lyrnph leakage occurred in one case and was improved after 2 months. Fourteen patients had lung infection, including 7 mild lung infections which were improved after treatment, and 7 severe lung infections which died from respiratory failure.Other complications included secondary diabetes mellitus (4 cases), urinary tract infection (2 cases),acute renal failure (2 cases), deep venous thrombosis (3 cases), drug-induced liver damage (5 cases),polycythemia (5 cases), hepatitis C (3 cases), chronic allograft nephropathy (3 cases), and all were improved after treatment. Conclusion Comprehensive assessments of the donors and receptors before transplantation are guarantee to successful living kidney transplantation from relative donors; Living kidney transplantation from relative donors has the advantages of good matching, short ischemia period of donated kidney, less rejections and high survival rate of transplanted kidneys.

ABSTRACT
Objective: To study shame of college student through phenomenological method. Method: 147 college students (male 53, female 94, average age 20.2) were involved. Each subject was asked to describe his/her personal shame experience, which was rate on phenomenological dimensions. Experience of Shame Scales (ESS) was used either. Result: The finding from phenomenological rating was in accord with the theory of “self orientation". Students with stronger shame proneness showed tendency to attribute negative events to him/herself. Conclusion: Shame is an acutely painful experience that involves a marked self-focus (self oriented) emotion. Shame proneness tended to have stronger sense of worthlessness and powerlessness and have much more strategies of denying and escaping in hard situations.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To assess the technique, efficacy, security and side effects of percutaneous ethanol injection(PEI) in treating the cystic thyroid adenomas. Methods: Fifty seven patients(male 34, female 23) with unilateral and solitary benign cystic thyroid adenoma received PEI therapy under high resolution ultrasound guidance. The medial age of the patients was 47 years(ranging 29 62). The mean diameter in the largest section of the thyroid adenomas was (37.55?5.64) mm(17 59 mm). The thyroid lesions in 12 patients consisted of cystic lumen mixed with solid structure, and the rest 45 had entire cystic thyroid lesions. Ultrasound reexamination of thyroid lesions was done 3 months after the initial treatment. Significant curative effect was defined as an adenoma volume shrinkage rate larger than 50%. The efficacious result was defined as a volume shrinkage rate between 40% and 50% together with a further shrink over a 6 month duration follow up. Those patients with adenoma volume shrinkage rate less than 40% underwent a second PEI after 6 months. Results: Over a mean duration of 25.5 months follow up, 66.7% subjects with entirely cystic had significant curative outcome; 19.3% subjects had efficacious result; and 9.8% subjects needed a second PEI and their thyroid lesions contained more solid tissue. There were 5.3% subjects were transfered to open surgery due to colloid cyst fluid. Twenty one patients complained of intraoperative local transient pain; 15 patients had transient pyrexia in the 48 h after injection, and 3 patients were affected by post operative transient dysphonia. No serious bleeding were encountered, and no apparent change of serum T 3,T 4,TSH level was observed. Conclusion: Ultrasound guided PEI therapy is an effective, safe and simple procedure for the ablation of cystic thyroid adenoma. Careful selection of subjects according to their preoperative thyroid ultrasonographies can reduce the unsuccessful PEI. A selective volume of ethanol injection consistent with the adenoma size on sonograms and a thorough flush with ethanol can improve the efficacy of PEI.
ABSTRACT
Preoperative qualitative diagnoses of 118 eases of renal tumour.made by B-mode ultrasound were analyzed.The final diagnoses were proven operatively and pathologically.The resultsshowed that by B-mode altrasound the detective rate was 92.2%,a correct qualitative diagnosis rate 49.1%,incorrect rate 18.1%and false positive rate 1.7%.Qualitatively unidentified turnouts accounted for 32.8%of all the cases.It is assumed that B-mode ultrasound can be used to make correct qualitative diagnosis only on certain tumours with typical image features.It is difficult for it to distinguish some tumours which have complicated displays.The accuracy of preoperative qualitative diagnosis could be raised by combining B-mode uhradound with other imaging technologicol examinations.
