ABSTRACT
Objective@#To study the compliance and associated factors of smartphone application (APP) usage in childhood dietary and exercise intervention.@*Methods@#Based on one childhood intervention of diet and exercise in Beijing, Changzhi of Shanxi Province and Urumqi of Xinjiang Province, 694 children (and their primary caregivers) in the intervention group were investigated regarding usage of APP during the intervention. Compliance of APP usage was evaluated by the click times of APP, and Logistic regression models were used to analyze influencing factors of the compliance.@*Results@#The median (inter quartile range) click times of APP in the four modules (information dissemination, behavior monitoring, homework uploading and feedback) were 10 (5，21), 20 (14，26), 7(4，10), 26 (15，53), respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis found that compliance of APP usage was higher among subjects in Changzhi region ( OR =1.67，95% CI =1.12-2.48), whose primary caregiver was mother ( OR =1.55，95% CI =1.09-2.22), or whose mother did not work ( OR =0.47， 95% CI =0.31-0.74).@*Conclusion@#Compliance of APP usage was generally high in the childhood intervention of diet and exercise. Some factors are associated with compliance of APP usage. Findings of the study provide a scientific basis for better implementation of APP based childhood interventions of diet and exercise in the future.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To study the relationship between nutrition status and physical fitness in 8-10 year-old children in 3 cities, and to provide a scientific reference for improving physical condition of chidren of pre-school age.@*Methods@#To investigate the weight, height and physical fitness (standing long jump, endurance running, rope skipping in one minute and sit-ups in one minute) of 1 384 children in grade four from 24 primary schools in Beijing, Changzhi, Urumchi in 2018. Evaluated overweight and obesity by using the standard of “Screening for Overweight and Obesity among School-age Children”. Then used mixed linear model to compare the physical fitness of students with different nutritional status and to analyze the relationship between BMI and physical fitness.@*Results@#The prevalence of overweight and obesity were 17.41% and 23.48%, respectively. And the prevalence in boys was both more than that in girls(χ2=9.84，47.68，P<0.01). The increase in BMI of children from the same age and the same gender was related with the decrease in physical fitness by correlation analysis(P<0.05). In comparison method, the performance of the students of normal weight was better than obese students, but the male and female students had got the same results in their physical fitness test(P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#There is a negative correlation between nutrition status and physical fitness and the physical fitness in normal weight and obese children are better than the overweight children or obese children.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the correlation of prognosis with the immunophenotype in acute myeloid leukemia(AML)patients.Methods Immunophenotyping was performed in 131 patients with AML by mtdtieolor flow cytometry.Correlation of immunophenotype with other laboratory parameters such as initial white blood cell count(WBC),platelet count(PLT),hemoglobin(Hb),and the complete remission(CR)ratio was analyzed.Results In these AML patients,myeloid antigens CDl3,CD33 and myeloperoxidase(MPO)were more highly expressed than other antigens.Expression of CD34 and HLA-DR were lower in acute promyelocytic leukemia(M3)subtype.The expression of lymphocyte antigen CD19 and CD7 were the highest.CD7 expression was associated with age(t=-2.27,P＜0.05).CD14 was associated with initial WBC(Z=-2.284,P＜0.05).The overall CR ratio was 56.5%among all patients.CD34positive patients had a significantly lower CR rato(45.1%),compared with the CD34 negative patients whose CR ratio was 75.6%(x2=11.524,P=0.001).The CR ratio was significantly lower in cases expressing both CD34 and HLA-DR(74 patients with CR rate 41.9%)than in cases expressing only CD34 or HLA-DR(38 patients with CR rate 78.9%)and both negative(19 patients with CR rate 68.4%)(Z=-3.492,P＜0.01).However,other antigens,including CD7,CD19,CD13,CD33,CD38,CD15,CD64,CD14 and MPO had no significant association with CR ratio.Logistic regression analysis showed that age(60 years or older),initial WBC(more than 50 x 109/L),PLT(more than 30 x 109/L),Hb(less than 60g/L)and CD34 were independent adverse factors for achieving CR.Conclusions In AML patients,age,initial WBC,PLT,Hb and CD34 are associated with CR ratio.Detection of immunophenotype may help to estimate prognosis of patients with AML and guide the treatment of AML.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a new flow cytometric immuno-bead array assay (FCIBA)to detect several platelet-specific autoantibodies simultaneously in a single serum sample.Methods A series of beads of different red fluorescent intensity were used for coating with different anti-platelet membrane protein monoclonal antibodies(anti-GP Ⅱb/a,anti-GP Ⅰ a/Ⅱ a,anti-GP Ⅳ,anti-GP Ⅰ b/Ⅸ and anti-HLAABC)to detect five platelet-specific autoantibodies in serum. The beads captured platelet antigenautoantiboay complex.Subsequently,different platelet-specific autoantibodies in a patient serum can be detected simultaneously by the flow cytometry.In addition,we evaluated the new FCIBA,and compared its results with modified antigen capture ELISA method(MACE).The new FCIBA was used to detect five platelet-specific autoantibodies in serums of autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura(AITP)and nonautoimmune thromboeytopenic purpura patients.Results The new FCIBA can be used to detect five plateletspecific autoantibodies simultaneously(Anti-GP Ⅱ b/Ⅲ a,Anti-GP Ⅰ a/Ⅱ a,Anti-GP Ⅳ,Anti-GP Ⅰ b/Ⅸand Anti-HLA-ABC).The coefficient of variation(CV)of intra-repetition are 4.82%,6.09%,5.04%,5.73%and 5.30%,respectively.The dilution test results are in good logarithm linearity which are 0.997 2,0.996 6,0.998 8,0.996 5 and 0.998 2,respectively. The resuhs of the new FCIBA are highly correlated with those with MACE method,and the coefficient correlation were 0.928 9,0.922 4,0.889 4,0.910 0 and 0.913 4,respectively(P＜0.01).51.69%samples of AITP patients show positive for platelet-specific autoantibodies as detected by the new FCIBA.Among the AITP patients,the positivity of specific autoantibodies for anti-GPⅡb/ Ⅲ a,anti-GP Ⅰ a/Ⅱ a,anti-GP Ⅳ,anti-GP Ⅰb/Ⅸ and anti-HLA-ABC were 40.82%,24.45%,19.39%,32.65%and 17.35%.Among the 40 non-autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura patients,none of platelet-specific autoantibodies in serum samples can be detected.Conclusion A new FCIBA is established successfully to detect five platelet-specific autoantibodies coefficient correlation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the mechanism of some vegetables inhibiting human platelet aggregation function.Methods Some vegetable juice was mixed(tomato juice as positive control)with platelet-rich plasma(PRP),and maximum ratio of platelet aggregation was measured after induction by agonists on the aggregometer.The expression levels of platelet activation marker were detected,including fibrinogen receptor(Fib-R),P-selectin(CD62P),and the combination amount of fibrinogen on the surface of platelet by flow cytometry to validate the inhibitory effect of platelet aggregation by animal tests.Ordinary white rabbits were randomly divided into five groups,each group was fed with saline,cooked tomato juice,blanched garlic leaves juice,Chinese cabbage juice or spinach juice,respectively.And the maximum ratio of rabbit platelet aggregation in different time were observed.Results Cooked vegetable juice couldn't inhibit human platelet aggregation induced by AA,but blanched garlic leaves juice,Chinese cabbage juice and spinach juice could inhibit human platelet aggregation obviously induced by ADP.collagen or epinephrine.The inhibition intensity of platelet aggregation increased markedly along with the increase of the concentration of the cooked vegetables juice.Cooked juice of blanched garlic leaves,Chinese cabbage,spinach could not inhibit the expression of Fib-R and CD62P,Whereas they were able to significantly decrease the amount of Fib-R and fibrinogen binding. ADP-induced rabbit platelet aggregation ratios in the group fed with cooked juice of blanched garlic leaves,Chinese cabbage or spinach were significantly lower than control group after 3,5,8 weeks,respectively.The inhibition ratios of the platelet aggregation in cooked Chinese cabbage juice group were 45.7%,53.6%,48.5% after 3,5,8 weeks,respectively.Cooked juice of blanched garlic leaves group were 10.7%,66.7%,46.3%,respectively. Cooked spinach juice group were 8.7%,21.0%,42.6%,respectively.The collagen-induced rabbit platelet aggregation ratios in the groups fed with cooked juice of blanched garlic leaves or Chinese cabbage were significantly lower than control group after 5 and 8 weeks respectively. The inhibition ratios of the platelet aggregation in cooked Chinese cabbage juice group were 54.9%,56.3%after 5 and 8 weeks,respectively. Cooked juice of blanched garlic leaves group were 28.4%and 86.7%,respectively. Cooked tomato juice could not inhibit rabbit platelet aggregation in 8 weeks. Conclusions After induced by ADP or collagen,cooked juice of blanched garlic leaves,Chinese cabbage and spinach could significantly decrease the amount of Fib-R and fibrinogen binding,and inhibit platelet aggregation function significantly.It may have potential application of therapy or prlevention of thrombotic diseases.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the changes of T lymphocyte subsets of severe acute respiratory syndrome(SARS) patients during acute phase and recovery stage and study its clinical significance in early diagnosis of SARS.Methods T lymphocyte subsets of 40 patients of SARS and 22 cases of SARS recovery stage were detected by flow cytometry.Results Compared with normal group, T lymphocyte, Th and Ts cell counts of SARS patients decreased obviously( P =0.013, P 0.05). Conclusion The cellular immunity of SARS patients were badly damaged during acute phase. Their T lymphocyte, Th and Ts cell counts decreased obviously. This could be a guideline of early diagnosis of SARS. The counts of T lymphocyte subsets of SARS patients can return to normal after they were cured.
