The introduction of treatment and the cultural adaptability of western psychotherapies for eating disorders in China

In the past 40 years, the prevalence of eating disorders (ED) in China has shown an increasing trend, leading to an urgent need to develop efficient treatment modes and methods. Since the beginning of the new century, the diagnosis, treatment, and research of ED in China have been under development. This article gives an introduction and commentary on the treatment modes, treatment methods and their applications in ED in China. There are two main treatment forms for ED until now, that is, inpatient treatment and outpatient treatment. Inpatient treatment is recommended as the first choice. Since 2008, clinical psychotherapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and family-based treatment (FBT), which are effective for pathological symptoms of ED, have been introduced into China and developed clinically. Group CBT and group DBT for patients with ED and group FBT for caregivers might be the most efficient psychotherapy in China nowadays. A multi-family FBT support group could be developed as the basic treatment of ED patients. Although these new types of psychotherapy have observed effectiveness in clinical application, the Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT) are rare and need to be developed.     

Identification and characterization of lipopolysaccharide-binding proteins on human peripheral blood cell populations.

Previous research in this laboratory, using photoactivatable radioiodinated lipopolysaccharide derivatized with sulfosuccinimidyl-2-(p-azidosalicylamide)-1,3'-dithiopropionate (125I-ASD-LPS), has resulted in the identification of a specific LPS receptor with a molecular mass of approximately 73 kDa on murine lymphocytes and splenic macrophages. The experiments presented in this report investigated whether a similar LPS-binding protein was also expressed on human peripheral blood populations, including monocytes, lymphocytes, neutrophils, platelets, and erythrocytes. Each cell population was incubated with 125I-ASD-LPS, UV irradiated, washed, reduced, and solubilized, and the cell lysates were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by autoradiography. On all of the cell populations, except erythrocytes, a similar 73-kDa LPS-binding protein was present. In addition, each population also expressed lower-molecular-weight secondary LPS-binding proteins, some of which were conserved among the populations. Binding of the photoactivatable LPS probe was found to be both time and temperature dependent. These data support the concept that the 73-kDa LPS-binding protein is conserved on multiple cell types from a variety of species.

喉癌中EGFR基因扩增、表达及临床意义

目的研究喉癌中表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)基因的扩增、表达,探讨其在喉癌发生、发展中的作用及临床意义。方法采用差异PCR(differential PCR)方法检测40例喉鳞状细胞癌及配对癌旁正常组织中EGFR基因的扩增(即基因拷贝数增加);应用RT-PCR方法检测EGFR mRNA水平;应用SPSS13.0软件对数据进行统计学分析。结果喉癌组织中有13例(占32.5%)EGFR基因拷贝数增加,癌旁对照组中则未检测到(χ2=15.537,P<0.005);喉癌组织中EGFR mRNA平均积分光密度为872.356±62.340,癌旁对照组为346.425±57.380(t=5.959,P<0.001);喉癌组织分化程度越低,病理分期越晚,EGFR基因扩增和mRNA表达水平越高(P<0.05)。结论喉癌中EGFR基因在DNA水平上的扩增是EGFR mRNA过表达的原因之一,EGFR的扩增和过表达在喉癌的发生、进展中发挥一定作用。     

模式翻转视觉诱发电位快速提取的可行性再研究

目的把模式翻转视觉诱发电位快速提取法应用于视神经病变的病人,探讨其临床应用价值。方法应用Galileo视觉诱发电位检测系统对30例正常健康人和17例视神经疾病病人分别进行全视野的PRVEP检测熏每一结果重复检测3次。所得结果应用少次提取法进行处理而得VEP波形。然后将正常对照组3次重复结果两两间分别进行配对t检验,探讨其可重性,并计算出正常值范围,最后参照正常值,分析视神经疾病组的检测结果。结果3次重复结果两两间配对t检验,得P1=0.425>0.05,P2=0.179>0.05,P3=0.110>0.05;参照本研究得出的正常值范围,对病人组的检测结果进行分析,得出这种少次提取法对视神经疾病检测的敏感度90.0%(18/20),特异度92.5%(13/14),准确度91.1%(31/34)。结论用这种少次提取法提取PRVEP,可重性好,稳定可靠。很有临床应用价值。
