ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the influencing factors of goiter in school-age children aged 8 to 10 in non-high iodine areas of Shijiazhuang City.Methods:In April 2018, 9 non-high iodine counties (cities) were selected as monitoring sites in Shijiazhuang City, and capacity proportional probability sampling (PPS) method was used. Each monitoring site was divided into five sampling areas according to five orientations: east, west, south, north, and middle, one township was selected from each area, one elementary school was selected from each township, and 40 school-age children aged 8 to 10 (balanced age, half males and half females) were selected from each school as respondents. Urine samples from any one time of children and drinking water samples from their village were collected, and urinary iodine and water iodine were detected by arsenic cerium catalytic spectrophotometry; the thyroid volume of children was measured by B ultrasound method; at the same time, the height and weight of children were measured and the body mass index was calculated. The influencing factors of goiter were analyzed by logistic regression analysis.Results:A total of 1 867 urine samples of school-age children were collected, and the median urinary iodine was 190.65 μg/L, which was in the suitable level of iodine. A total of 1 046 drinking water samples were collected, water iodine ranged from 0.11 to 87.91 μg/L, and the median water iodine was 3.01 μg/L. A total of 1 867 school-age children were tested thyroid, the median thyroid volume was 3.01 ml. The medians thyroid volume of boys and girls (928 and 939 cases) were 2.90 and 3.13 ml, respectively, the difference was statistically significant between sex ( U = 2.09, P < 0.05); the medians thyroid volume of children aged 8, 9, and 10 years old (622, 629, 616 cases) were 2.47, 2.87, and 3.13 ml, respectively, the differences were statistically significant among ages ( H = 203.96, P < 0.01); the medians thyroid volume of normal, overweight and obese children (1 231, 300, 336 cases) were 2.61, 3.05 and 3.16 ml, respectively, the differences were statistically significant among body mass index ( H = 65.55, P < 0.01). The results of multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that female and obesity were risk factors of goiter in school-age children [odds ratio ( OR) = 2.08, 2.86, 95% confidence interval ( CI): 1.05 - 4.12, 1.39 - 5.88, P < 0.05]. Conclusion:Female and obesity are risk factors of goiter in school-age children aged 8 to 10 in non-high iodine areas of Shijiazhuang City.

Objective:To evaluate the value of ultrasonography in evaluating the influential factors of early insufficient flow after central venous catheter placement in dialysis patients.Methods:Three hundred and twenty seven hemodialysis patients who underwent central venous catheterization at the Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical College from May 2016 to June 2019 were selected. According to the catheter flow, the patients were divided into the low catheter flow group(43 cases) and the normal catheter flow group(284 cases). The distribution variance of clinical features(age, gender, blood pressure) were compared and whether some ultrasonic parameters(position of catheter tip, left ventricular ejection fraction, left atrial end-systolic diameter, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, distance from the catheter tip to superior vena cava beyond right atrial opening) had influence on the insufficient catheter flow in the early stage between the two groups were analyzed.Results:The differences of left ventricular ejection fraction, left atrial end-systolic diameter and position of catheter tip between the two groups were statistically different( P<0.05). However, univariate and multivariate analyses showed that there were significant differences in catheter tip approaches and touches the wall of right atrium( OR=5.393, 95% CI=2.039-14.263, P=0.001), increased left atrial end-systolic diameter( OR=0.321, 95% CI=0.124-0.827, P=0.019), left ventricular ejection fraction in critical range( OR=2.953, 95% CI=1.113-7.835, P=0.030) and decreased left ventricular ejection fraction( OR=5.828, 95% CI=1.869-18.174, P=0.002) were the independent risk factors of early insufficient catheter flow. Conclusions:Insufficient catheter flow after central venous catheterization is related to catheter position, left atrial end-systolic diameter and left ventricular ejection fraction. Ultrasonography evaluation is a primary method to observe the position of the catheter tip in dialysis patients and diagnose the early insufficient catheter flow after central venous catheterization.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To study the effect of Neiyi-Tongjingling on the content of TGF-β1 and Smad2/3 protein in ectopic endometrium of rats with endometriosis.@*Methods@#Atotal of 42 rats were randomly divided into the sham operation group, model group, high, medium and low dose groups of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine group with 7 rats in each group. Except for the sham-operated group, the rats in the other groups established EMs models by means of rat autologous intimal transplantation. The drug was administered at the 5th week after the model was established. The western medicine group was given 0.5 mg/kg gestrinone solution twice a week. The high, medium and low dose groups of traditional Chinese medicine were given 49.50 mg/kg, 24.75 mg/kg and 12.38 mg/kg of Neiyi-Tongjingling liquid, respectively. While the model group and sham operation group were given the same volume of normal saline once per day for 4 weeks. The volume of ectopic lesions in each group was observed. The HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of intima tissue. Immunohistochemical SP method was used to detect the expression of TGF-β1 and Smad2/3 proteins in intima tissue.@*Results@#The volume of ectopic endometrium (57.91 ± 13.10 mm3, 48.93 ± 8.15 mm3, 76.21 ± 17.14 mm3, 57.88 ± 15.98 mm3 vs. 141.58 ± 54.25 mm3) in the western medicine group and the high, medium and low dose group of Chinese medicine were significantly lower than that in the model group (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the content of TGF-β1 (0.08 ± 0.00, 0.08 ± 0.01, 0.10 ± 0.00 vs. 0.13 ± 0.03) and Smad2/3 (0.09 ± 0.02, 0.08 ± 0.01, 0.10 ± 0.01 vs. 0.12 ± 0.02) in ectopic endometrium tissue of three Chinese medicine groups decreased significantly (P<0.05).@*Conclusions@#The Neiyi-Tongjingling can treat EMs by inhibiting the growth of ectopic endometrium, reducing the volume of ectopic lesions, and reducing the expression of TGF-β1 and Smad2/3 proteins.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To analyze the influencing factors of acute gastroenteritis outbreaks caused by norovirus in Beijing from 2014 to 2018.@*Methods@#Data of acute gastroenteritis events caused by norovirus in Beijing from April 2014 to March 2018 were collected. Unconditional logistic regression model was conducted to identify the risk factors of the outbreaks.@*Results@#A total of 765 acute gastroenteritis epidemics caused by norovirus were reported in Beijing, in which 85.88% (657/765) were cluster events and 14.12% (108/765) were outbreaks. Among the outbreaks, 70.37% (76/108) were reported in 2017; 84.26% (91/108) were reported in winter and spring; 88.89% (96/108) were reported in kindergartens, primary or secondary schools; 81.48% (88/108) were through person-to-person transmission; 93.52% (101/108) were caused by norovirus GⅡ infection. The risk of outbreaks in suburban and out suburb area were 1.84 times (95%CI: 1.13-3.02) and 3.78 times (95%CI: 1.62-8.82) as high as that in urban area, respectively. The risks of outbreaks in primary, secondary schools and other institutions were 6.26 times (95%CI: 3.53-11.10), 14.98 times (95%CI: 6.23-36.01) and 8.71 times (95%CI: 3.07-24.71) as high as that in kindergartens, respectively. The risk of outbreak in which patients having lower hospital visiting rate than the median rate of all events was 2.29 times than that in the context of having higher hospital visiting rate (95%CI:1.42-3.68). The risk of foodborne outbreak was 14.55 times as high as that transmitted through person-to-person (95%CI: 3.15-67.07).@*Conclusion@#Measures such as strengthening the prevention and control of norovirus outbreaks in suburbs, primary schools, secondary schools and other institutions, promoting patients to visit the hospital actively, improving the management of foodborne events and kitchen workers should be taken to reduce the incidence of acute gastroenteritis outbreaks caused by norovirus.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the role of inhibitory KIR (iKIR) and its cognate HLA ligand in the occurrence and development of cervical cancer among ethnic Han Chinese and its potential mechanism.@*Methods@#Peripheral blood samples from 265 Han Chinese patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)/cervical cancer and 200 ethnically matched healthy controls were collected. The results of KIR PCR-SSP, HLA PCR-rSSO and KIR3DL1 PCR-SBT, together with cervical cancer data from the TCGA database, were used to assess the association of iKIR genes, receptor-ligand gene combinations, iKIR transcription level in the tumor tissue and the KIR3DL1 alleles with the occurrence and development of cervical cancer.@*Results@#Among the four iKIR genes (KIR2DL1, 2DL2/3, 3DL1 and 3DL2), the frequencies of KIR3DL1 and KIR3DL1-HLA-Bw4 genes among controls were significantly higher than those of the cervical cancer group (96.5% vs. 87.0%, P = 0.018; 81.5% vs. 64.8%, P=0.009). The survival rate of cervical cancer patients with a high transcription level of KIR3DL1 in tumor tissues was significantly higher than those with a low/medium transcription level (P = 0.028). The frequency of strong-inhibitory and high-expression KIR3DL1*01502 allele among the healthy population was significantly higher than that of the cervical cancer group (76.0% vs. 59.3%, P = 0.015).@*Conclusion@#Combined KIR3DL1 and KIR3DL1-HLA-Bw4 can confer a protective effect against the development of cervical cancer, which may be attributed to the strong-inhibitory and high-expression allele of KIR3DL1*01502.
ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the epidemiological and etiological characteristics of outbreaks on acute gastroenteritis caused by sapovirus (SaⅤ) worldwide.Methods Literature about the outbreaks on acute gastroenteritis caused by SaⅤ were retrieved from the databases including WanFang,CNKI,PubMed and Web of Science after evaluation.Time,geography,setting and population distributions of outbreaks,transmission mode,SaⅤ genotype and clinical characteristics of the patients were analyzed.Results A total of 34 papers about SaⅤ were included,involving 146 outbreaks occurred between October 1976 and April 2016.In these papers,138 outbreaks were reported on the related months.All these outbreaks occurred in northern hemisphere.SaⅤ outbreaks occurred all year around,but mainly in cold season,the incidence was highest in December (25 outbreaks) and lowest in in August (2 outbreaks).Most outbreaks were reported by Japan,followed by Canada,the United States of America and the Netherlands.There were 141 outbreaks for which the occurring settings were reported,child-care settings were most commonly reported setting (48/141,34.04％),followed by long-term care facility (41/141,29.08％) and hospital (16/141,11.35％).Clinical symptoms of 1 704 cases in 31 outbreaks were reported,with the most common symptom was diarrhea (1 331/1 704,78.12％),followed by nausea (829/1 198,69.20％),abdominal pain (840/1 328,63.25％),vomiting (824/1 704,48.36％) and fever (529/1 531,34.53％).Genotypes of SaⅤ were determined for 119 outbreaks.GⅠ (51/119,42.86％) and GⅣ (45/119,37.82％) were predominant.The outbreaks of G Ⅳ SaⅤ increased suddenly in 2007,and the outbreaks of G Ⅰ SaⅤ mainly occurred in 2008 and during 2011-2013.Conclusions SaⅤ outbreaks were reported mainly by developed countries,with most outbreaks occurred in cold season,in child-care settings and long term care facility.G Ⅰ and GⅣ were the most common genotypes of SaⅤ.Prevention and control of SaⅤ outbreak in China seemed relatively weak,and it is necessary to conduct related training and to strengthen the SaⅤ outbreak surveillance in areas where service is in need.

Objective To investigate the effects of Tianxiang capsule on Neurotransmitters and Hormone Level of rats with motion sickness. Methods Male SD rats were randomly divided into six groups, including blank control group, model control group, positive drug control group, low-dose, mid-dose and high-dose Tianxiang capsule groups with the method of random digital table, and every group had 10 mice. Except the normal group, the rats in the other groups were intragastrically pre-administered for 1 hour, and the low, medium and high doses of Tianxiang capsule were 0.91, 1.82, 3.64 g/kg, the positive drug control group was given scopolamine 1 mg/kg, and then the rat motion sickness model was induced by a rotary stimulation device. After the modeling, the feces, urine, standing hair, trembling were immediately observed and recorded, and the halo response index of the rats was calculated. The blood from the heart puncture was taken and the vestibular nucleus were put on the ice. Then, the content of histamine (HIS) in the vestibular nucleus and plasma was detected by ELISA. The expression of plasma cortisol (Cort) and arginine vasopressin (AVP) were measured by radioimmunoassay. Results Compared with the model control group, the motion sickness index of rats with low, medium and high doses of Tianxiang capsule (6.56 ± 2.16, 6.10 ± 1.35, 4.46 ± 2.50 vs. 8.90 ± 2.61) significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The HIS content in the vestibular nucleus (12.70 ± 3.86 μg/L, 11.45 ± 1.57 μg/L, 10.02 ± 1.30 μg/L vs. 17.50 ± 4.82 μg/L) significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The plasma content of HIS (4.24 ± 1.75 μg/L vs. 7.69 ± 3.06 μg/L), Cort (286.90 ± 8.72 ng/ml vs. 329.26 ± 29.04 ng/ml) and AVP (16.54 ± 2.48 pg/ml vs. 22.35 ± 3.08 pg/ml) in the high doses of Tianxiang capsule significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusions The Tianxiang capsule could effectively reduce the motion sickness index of rats with motion sicknes, which might be related to the down-regulation of HIS in Vestibule Nucleus and HIS, Cort and AVP in plasma.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the distribution characteristics of plasma renin concentration in patients with hypertension and the possibly methodological problems.Methods The subjects including 361 patients with hypertension[male: 184 cases, average age: (45.16±13.74)years old;female: 177 cases, average age: (51.04±12.68) years old]and 187 apparent healthy individuals[male: 92 cases, average age: (46.74±13.17)years old;female: 95 cases, average age: (47.33±13.18) years old]were recruited from Departments of Healthy Check-up and outpatients for hypertension in Tangshan Gongren Hospital. The plasma renin concentration was detected by chemiluminescence-Immunoassay.Results The plasma renin concentration shows log-transformed normal distribution both in healthy group and hypertension group. The range of plasma renin concentration in hypertension group is from 0.05 to 574.07 pg/ml, while that in apparent healthy group is from 3.24 to 120.40 pg/ml. The plasma renin concentration in both groups is higher in male than female (Hypertension t=2.19,P=0.029;Healthy people t=2.85,P=0.005). The average concentration of plasma renin in hypertension group is slightly higher, and the width of density distribution is larger in comparison with healthy group although there is no significant difference between them. However, the percentage of plasma renin abnormality was 26.59% (96/361) in hypertension group with 13.85%(50/361)of low renin subtype and 12.74%(46/361)of high renin subtype ConclusionsThe plasma renin concentration measured by Chemiluminescence-Immunoassay can be used as an effective tool for hypertension screening.

ABSTRACT
To improve the preparation speed and quality of moxa cone, a mould for preparation of moxa cone was designed and applied in moxibustion. It consists three parts: a foundation (a flat-bottomed circular cylinder hollow in center), a moxa cone forming tube (a hollow column encircled by two semi-cylinders with symmetrical shape and size, and was inserted in the internal cavity of the foundation); and a compression rod (a solid cylinder used for compressing moxa placed in moxa cone forming tube). The mould is practical, simple, and convenient and can effectively speed up the preparation of moxa cone, and it is safe in application. Moreover, the obtained moxa cones are regular in shape, uniform in dosage and size, dense in texture, and convenient to pack, store and carry.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy and safety of levofloxacin and capreomycin combined with chemotherapy regi-men in the treatment of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis(MDR-TB). METHODS:84 MDR-TB patients were randomly divided in-to observation group (42 cases) and control group (42 cases). Observation group received 0.75 g Capreomycin sulfate for injec-tion,addint into 100 ml 0.9% Sodium chloride injection,intravenous infusion,once a day+0.4 g Levofloxacin hydrochloride tab-let,orally,once a day+0.2 g Protionamide tablet,orally,3 times a day+0.3 g Pasiniazid tablet,orally,3 times a day+0.5 g Pyra-zinamide tablet,orally,4 times a day. Control group received 0.4 g Amikacin sulfate injection,adding into 100 ml 0.9% Sodium chloride injection,once a day,intravenous infusion+0.3 g Ofloxacin tablet,orally,twice a day+Protionamide tablet (the same dose with observation group)+Pasiniazid tablet (the same dose with observation group)+Pyrazinamide tablet (the same dose with observation group). All patient were given 0.1 g Glucuronolactone tablet,orally,3 times a day. The treatment course for both group was 12 months. Sputum negative conversion rate,negative conversion time,symptom improvement time,lesion absorption and lung cavity closing,and cell immune indexes (CD4+CD25+/CD4+,CD4+CD25+CD127low/CD4+),IL-17 level before and after treatment,and the incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were observed. RESULTS:The sputum negative conversion rate,ab-sorption rate,lung cavity closing and narrowing cases in research group after 3,6,9,12,18 months treatment were significantly higher than control group,sputum negative conversion time,symptom improvement time in observation group were significantly lower than control group,the differences were statistically significant(P0.05). After treatment,CD4+CD25+/CD4+,CD4+CD25+CD127low/CD4+ in 2 groups were significantly lower than before,and observation group was lower than control group,IL-17 level was significantly higher than before,and observation group was higher than control group,the differences were statistically significant (P0.05). CON-CLUSIONS:Levofloxacin and capreomycin combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of MDR-TB,it can reduce T regulatory cells,increase IL-17 level,do not increase the incidence of adverse reactions.
