A cross-sectional survey on personality disorder in mental disorder outpatients in Shanghai / 中华流行病学杂志

Objective To study the prevalence and risk factors for personality disorder (PD)outpatients attending in for psychiatric and psychological counseling in Shanghai. Methods 3075 subjects were sampled by systematic sampling method from outpatients in psycho-counseling clinics and psychiatric clinics in Shanghai Mental Health Center. Based on DSM- Ⅳ criteria, personality disorders were assessed by both questionnaires (personality diagnostic questionnaire, PDQ-4+) and interviews (structured clinical interview for DSM- Ⅳ Axis Ⅱ , SCID- Ⅱ ). Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the significant independent contributor to PD. Results 71.3% of the outpatients were found having pathological personality by using questionnaire of self rating PD scale. 982 outpatients (31.9%) met criteria for at least one personality disorder by using structured clinical interview. Younger age (OR= 1.8, 95% CI: 1.5-2.1 ), single or divorced (OR = 1.6, 95%CI:1.4-1.9), psychological counseling outpatients (OR=1.2, 95%CI: 1.1-1.3), mood and outpatients with neurosis disorders (OR = 1.7, 95%CI: 1.4-2.0) were more frequently assigned as personality disorders. Data from logistic regression analysis showed that patients of tender age, not nurtured and raised by their parents, with introvert characters were related risk factors of PD. Conclusion High prevalence rate of PD was found in this sample of Chinese outpatients, especially in thosepsychological counseling outpatients with mood or neurosis disorders. More attention should be paid to the recognition and intervention of PD in outpatients with mental disorders.

Effects of salbutamo and ipraopium bromide inhalation on pulmonary function in young children with asthmatoid bronchitis / 中国当代儿科杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>The efficacy of bronchodilator in asthmatoid bronchitis remains controversial. This study was designed to investigate the effects of bronchodilators, salbutamo and ipraopium bromide, on the pulmonary function in young children with this disease.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Pulmonary function tests were performed in 20 children with asthmatoid bronchitis (2 months-2.5 years of age) before and 30, 60, and 120 minutes after salbutamo and ipratropium bromide inhalation. The indexes of pulmonary function measured included tidal breathing flow volume (TBFV) loop, percent of tidal volume to peak tidal expiratory flow (%V-PF), terminal flows per peak expiratory flow (25/PF), peak tidal expiratory flow (PTEF), rate of mid-expiratory to mid-inspiratory flow (ME/MI), respiratory rate (RR) and tidal volume per kilogram (TV/kg).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Before drug inhalation, the descending branch of the TBFV loop was depressed. The PTEF shifted forward and %V-PF (0.19 +/- 0.04) and 25/PF (0.42 +/- 0.11) decreased. These changes did not improve and the remaining indexes, RR, ME/MI and TV/kg, 30, 60, and 120 minutes after drug inhalation also remained similar to before inhalation.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Salbutamo and ipratropium bromide inhalation did not improve the airway resistance and ventilation function in children with asthmatoid bronchitis. This suggests that the efficacy of bronchodilator in the treatment of this disease is doubtful.</p>

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the role of adult cardiomyocytes in the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into cardiomyocytes.@*METHODS@#Rat MSCs were isolated by a Percoll's gradient solution and cultured in low-glucose Dulbecco' s modified Eagle' s medium (DMEM). After 2 passages, cell-surface antigen CD34, CD71 and CD90 for rat MSCs were determined by flow cytometry, and these MSCs were transfected with pEGFP-N3 by Lipofectamine2000. Then those MSCs labeled with GFP, were cultured in contacted, nocontacted and conditioned with adult rat myocardiocytes. Immunofluorescence staining against alpha-actin, desmin, and troponin-T were performed after 1 week.@*RESULTS@#Immunofluorescence staining was positive against alpha-actin, desmin, and troponin-T on MSCs in contacted culture group. In contrast, no alpha-actin, desmin, and troponin-T expression on MSCs were observed in the noncontacted culture group and the conditioned culture group.@*CONCLUSION@#Direct cell-to-cell contact between MSCs and adult cardiomyocytes may induce differentiation of MSCs into cardiomyocytes.

Migration of intravenously grafted mesenchymal stem cells to injured heart in rats / 生理学报

The present study aimed to determine the role of tissue injury in migration of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) intravenously transplanted into heart and to establish experimental basis for improving stem cell therapy in its targeting and effectiveness. MSCs were isolated from bone marrow of male Sprague-Dawley rats and purified by density centrifuge and adhered to the culture plate in vitro. Female rats were divided randomly into four groups. Myocardial ischemia (MI) transplanted group received MSCs infusion through tail vein 3 h after MI and compared with sham-operated group or normal group with MSCs infusion, or control group received culture medium infusion. MI was created in female rats by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery. The heart was harvested 1 week and 8 weeks after transplantation. The characteristics of migration of MSCs to heart were detected with expression of sry gene of Y chromosome by using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Ultrastructural changes of the ischemic myocardium of the recipient rats were observed by transmission electron microscope (TEM). One week or 8 weeks after transplantation, sry positive cells were observed in the cardiac tissue in both of MI transplanted group and sham-operated group, the number of sry positive cells being significantly higher in MI transplanted group (P<0.01). No significant difference was found in the number of sry positive cells between 1 week and 8 weeks after transplantation. No sry positive cells were observed in the hearts of control and normal group. In addition, the ultrastructure of some cells located in the peri-infarct area of MI rats with MSCs transplantation was similar to that of MSCs cultured in vitro. These results indicate that MSCs are capable of migrating towards ischemic myocardium in vivo and the fastigium of migration might appear around 1 week after MI. The tissue injury and its degree play an important role in the migration of MSCs.
