ABSTRACT
Objective:To understand the current situation of the demand for humanistic care of schizophrenics in convalescence and analyze the influencing factors, so as to provide the basis for clinical nurses to carry out targeted humanistic care for patients.Methods:A self-produced scale with a total score of 49-245 was used to investigate 516 convalescent period schizophrenic patients in 18 tertiary mental health institutions in 13 provinces of China, single factor analysis and multiple regression analysis were performed on their influencing factors.Results:The Likert 5-point scoring method was used. The overall score of the nursing care needs of hospitalized schizophrenic patients was (202.85±35.06) points, and the average score of total items were (4.14±0.16) points. Multiple linear regression results showed female ( B=0.100, P=0.024), stable marriage ( B=-0.098, P=0.026),high school (including secondary school) Education ( B=-0.107, P=0.018), family per capita monthly income of 2 000 yuan or above ( B=0.093, P=0.043),central region ( B=-0.110, P=0.014) were the main factors that affect the demand for humanistic care of inpatients with schizophrenia in convalescence. Conclusion:The hospitalized schizophrenic patients have higher and diversified needs for humanistic care. Patients with different genders, marital status, education level, monthly family income and living area have different needs for humanistic care. Individualized and standardized nursing should be given according to the actual situation of patients' needs to provide a more supportive environment for their rehabilitation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the correlation between interleukin-1β(IL-1β),interleukin-1 receptor antagonist(IL-1 ra)and the obesity of polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS).Methods(1)From Oct.2006 to Jan.2007,118 PCOS patients were enrolled in this study in Peking University Third Hospital,which were divided into 56 patients in obese PCOS group and 62 patients in non-obese PCOS group according to the WHO International Obesity Task Force Asia-Pacific criteria[body mass index(BMI)25 kg/m2].The polymorphism of IL-1β gene promoter region,exon-5 and intron 2 of IL-1 ra gene were detected by PCR.(2)Twenty-nine obese PCOS patients and 31 non-obese PCOS patients were selected randomizedly serum levels of IL-1β,IL-1 ra were measured by ELISA,in the mean time,serum levels of fasting glucose,fasting insulin and the total white blood cell,hypersensitive C-reactive protein levels were measured.Results(1)Genetic test:the frequency of TT genotype and T allele of IL-1β promoter region(-511)in obese PCOS patients were significantly higher than those in non-obese patients(44.6％ vs.11.3％,63.4％ vs.39.5％,all P ＜0.05).The frequency of IL-1 ra Ⅰ / Ⅴ genotype and Ⅴ allele of IL-1 ra gene were 19.6％ and 9.8％ in obese PCOS patients,which were significantly higher than those in non-obese group(3.2％ and 1.6％,P ＜0.05).(2)Serological test:serum level of IL-1β and IL-1ra of(149 ±36)and(284 ±97)ng/L in obese PCOS group which were significantly higher than those in non-obese PCOS group[(96 ± 42)and(208 ± 84)ng/L,P ＜ 0.05].Fasting blood glucose,fasting insulin and hypersensitive C-reactive protein and white blood cell count were(5.1 ± 0.7)mmol/L,(17 ± 9)mU/L,(1.5 ± 0.6)mg/L and(7.0 ± 2.3)× 109/L in obese PCOS group,which were significantly higher than in non-obese PCOS group[(4.9 ±0.5)mmol/L,(11 ±8)mU/L,(0.9 ±0.4)mg/L and(5.9 ±1.3)× 109/L,P＜0.05].(3)The correlation between interleukin and BMI: serum levels of IL-1β(r =0.673)and IL-1 ra(r =0.557)were positively correlated with BMI in PCOS patients(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Inflammatory factors IL-1β and IL-1ra had correlation with obesity of PCOS patients,PCOS patients who carried T allele of IL-1β gene promoter region(-511)and Ⅴ allele of IL-1ra gene were high risk of obesity.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To measure serum monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) levels and study its associations with lipoproteins in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods: Sixty-five PCOS women and 20 ovulating normal women with body mass index (BMI)
ABSTRACT
Objective: To screen out serum protein profiling of polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS) by surface - enhancedlaser desorption/ ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF MS) for discovering the discriminatory proteins. Methods: Thirty one women with PCOS and thirty healthy women were detected by Weak Cation Exchange(WCX2)chip. ProteinChip reader and Biomarker Wizard software from Ciphergen Inc were combined with a bioinformatics method (support vector machines, SVM ) to analyze protein fingerprinting. Results: There were 4 proteins which were obviously different between the PCOS group and the control. Three of them were up-regulated, and one down-regulated. To set up a analysis model by SVM using the 4 proteins could successfully distinguish between PCOS and the normal control. The corresponding sensitivity, specificity and positive predict value were 86.7%, 83.3%, 87.2%, resectively. Conclusion: Using ProteinChip technology can screen out serum discriminatory proteins quickly and efficiently. Combined with SVM, an optimal fingerprinting model has been set up, which can easily predict PCOS. In disease state of PCOS, there are significant variations which consist of four proteins. To investigate those four discriminatory proteins, especially the protein m/z 6 628 may be of benefit to pathogenic study and the development of biomarkers for PCOS.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the incidence of follicular stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) gene C566T mutation in Chinese women with premature ovarian failure (POF) and to explore the etiologies of POF. Methods This case-control study was carried out between 73 Chinese women with idiopathic POF (POF group) and 35 controls (control group), including 25 normal females with a regular menstrual history and 10 normal post-menopause women. DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood of patients and controls. The exon 7 of FSHR gene was amplified by PCR. PCR products were subsequently digested by the enzyme BsmI and then subjected to electrophoresis on agarose gels and stained with ethidium bromide to determine the C566T mutation. DNA samples of random sampling were further analysed by sequencing the PCR products to confirm the mutation. Results BsmI digestion resulting in two fragments of 51 and 27 base pairs was noted for all 73 POF patients and 35 controls. PCR sequencing confirmed that the 566 allele of FSHR gene is C, demonstrating normal FSHR allele. Conclusions No FSHR gene C566T mutation is present in POF patients and controls. FSHR C566T mutation may be rare in Chinese women with POF.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of rosiglitazone on insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) Methods Rosiglitazone was given 4 mg daily to 30 patients with PCOS for 12 weeks Before and after treatment, body mass index(BMI), plasma glucose, insulin, levels insulin resistance index (HOMA IR), blood lipid spectrum, leptin, neuropeptide Y, and sex hormone concentrations and ovulation rate were determined and compared Results After 12 weeks of treatment, basal insulin level decreased from (18?8) to (12?7) mIU/L ( P
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of clomiphene citrate (CC) and human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) on the expression of integrins ? 4? 1 during implantation window in endometrium. Methods Endometrium integrin ? 4? 1 expression was detected by immunohistochemistry method in the mid secretory phase of 48 normal natural cycles. CC+hCG or CC+hMG+hCG cycles in 30 polycystic ovary syndrom (PCOS) patients and 48 normal women. Results The expression of endometrial integrin ? 4? 1 was stronger in the natural cycls than those of ovulation induction cycles with CC+hCG or CC+hMG+hCG. So was the pregnancy cycles as compared with the non pregnant cycles. Conclusion The endometrial receptivity in the min luteal phase and pregnant rate declined during ovulation induction by CC+hCG or CC+hMG+hCG in either normal women or PCOS patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the expression of leptin and long form of leptin receptors (Ob R L) messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and protein in endometrium during mid luteal phase of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) Methods The expession of leptin and Ob R L mRNA in endometrium during mid luteal phase from 15 normal controls and 14 PCOS related anovulatory patients who underwent ovulation induction therapy were studied by in situ hybridization, and levels of leptin and Ob R L protein were investigated by immunohistochemical methods Results The expression of Ob R L mRNA and protein in endometrial glands of most patients with PCOS were weak or moderate positive,whereas the levels of Ob R L mRNA and protein were moderate or strong positive in those of the controls,there was significant difference between the two groups; leptin mRNA and protein expression in enodmetrium of patients with PCOS and controls were not significantly different between the groups Conclusion The expression of Ob R L decreased in endometrium of mid luteal phase in patients with PCOS during induced ovulation,which may be related to low pregnancy rate of patients with PCOS.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the association of the Arg64 polymorphism β-3-adrenergic receptor(β3-AR) gene with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)and its characterization with obesity,insulin resistance(IR)，blood pressure (BP), blood lipid spectrum. Methods The polymorphism of the β-3-AR gene was determined in 163 patients with PCOS and 100 controls. Body mass index(BMI), waist to hip circumference ratio(WHR), BP were examined. Blood glucose,blood lipid spectrum,insulin were also measured. Insulin resistance index was calculated. Results The frequency of Arg64 allele in PCOS women was significantly higher than that of controls(0.33 vs 0.13 respectively, P<0.05). Fasting insulin, insulin resistance index, WHR in Arg64 group were significantly higher than those of Trp64 group. The frequency of Arg64 allele was positively correlated with FINS, insulin resistance index, WHR. Conclusion The Arg64 mutation in the β-3-adrenergic receptor(β-3-AR) gene might contribute to development of PCOS and IR.
