Objective:To determine the seroprevalence of celiac disease in susceptible population, and to analyze the relationship between demographic characteristics, dietary habits, lifestyle and serological positivity so as to provide guidance for the prevention and treatment of celiac disease in Southern China.Methods:A total of 1 273 individuals who participated in Guangdong Province Health Screening Program in 2015, were selected as serologically positive subjects of celiac disease, including people with irritable bowel syndrome, colitis, diarrhea, anemia, low BMI, short stature, type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis, psoriasis and bristol grade=6 or 7. All subjects were tested for serum IgA anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (TTGA), IgA antibodies against deamidated gliadin peptides(DGPA) and IgG against deamidated gliadin peptides (DGPG). Dietary habits, lifestyle and demographic characteristics were compared in subgroups.Results:The seroprevalence of celiac disease in susceptible population was 0.94% (95% CI 0.54%-1.64%) including 0.08% (1/1 273) for TTGA, 0.47% (6/1 273) for DGPA, and 0.39% (5/1 273) for DGPG. The seropositive rate was 3.6% (1/28) in patients with psoriasis, 2.1% (2/95) in the low BMI group, 1.9% (1/53) in T1DM group, 1.8% (3/169) in diarrhea group and 1.1% (5/463) in RA group. No significant difference was found in age, gender, high carbohydrate diet or lifestyle between the negative and the positive subjects. Conclusions:In Southern China, the seropositive rate of celiac disease is 0.94% in susceptible population, which prompts an urgent need of serological screening for early diagnosis.

Relationship between different obesity phenotypes and abnormal blood pressure in children and adolescents in Yinchuan city / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

Objective:To investigate the relationship between different obesity phenotypes and abnormal blood pressure in children and adolescents in Yinchuan city, and to provide appropriate treatment and intervention measures for obese children and adolescents.Methods:The current research design was adopted to facilitate the cluster sampling.A total of 1 047 children and adolescents aged 12 to 18 in Yinchuan were enrolled in this study from September 2017 to September 2018.There were 530 males and 517 females, with an average age of (13.93±1.24) years old.The questionnaire survey, physical examination and laboratory testing were carried out.Statistical analysis was performed by using SPSS 19.0 software.Results:Among the children and adolescents with normal weight, the composition ratio of the metabolically unhealthy normal-weight (MUNW) phenotype was 7.6%.In the obese cases, the composition ratio of the metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) phenotype was 20.2%.The blood pressure of MUNW [systolic pressure SBP: (119±13) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa); diastolic pressure(DBP)(74±10) mmHg] and metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO) [SBP (127±10) mmHg; DBP(74±7) mmHg] phenotypes were significantly higher than those of the metabolically healthy normal-weight (MHNW) phenotype (all P<0.05). The blood pressure of the MUO [SBP(127±10) mmHg; DBP(74±7) mmHg] phenotype was significantly higher than that of the MHO phenotype ( P<0.05). After adjusting for age, gender, and family history of hypertension, MUNW and MUO phenotypes were 5.93 (95% CI: 3.10-11.36) and 11.63 (95% CI: 6.37-21.24) times more likely to develop blood pressure abnormalities than MHNW phenotypes, respectively ( P<0.001). The MHO phenotype was 0.63 (95% CI: 0.08-4.93) times more likely to develop blood pressure abnormalities than the MHNW phenotype ( P=0.66). Conclusions:The MHO phenotype does not increase the risk of abnormal blood pressure, while the MUNW phenotype does.Therefore, it is recommended to identify the MHO phenotype and MUNW phenotype in order to provide appropriate obesity treatment and interventions for children and adolescents.

Assessment of right ventricular function by two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography in heart failure patients with different left ventricular diastolic dysfunction grade / 中华超声影像学杂志

Objective:To evaluate the right ventricular(RV) function by two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography(2D-STE) in heart failure patients with different left ventricle diastolic dysfunction grade.Methods:Twenty-nine healthy volunteers(control group), sixteen heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction(HFrEF group) and eighty-six heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction(HFpEF group) were enrolled in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from October 2018 to September 2019. HFpEF patients were further divided into four subgroups according to recommendations of the American Society of Echocardiography in 2016: normal left ventricular diastolic function group and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction groups with grade 1, 2, 3 (LVDD1, LVDD2, LVDD3). Conventional ultrasonic parameters were obtained in apical four-chamber images, including RV basal diameter(RVD1), RV middle diameter(RVD2) and RV longitudinal diameter(RVD3), RV end diastolic area(EDA), end systolic area(ESA) and fractional area change(FAC), peak systolic velocity(S′), myocardial performance index(MPI), tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion(TAPSE). 2D-STE was performed to observe strain parameters, including basal, middle, apical and the whole longitudinal peak systolic strain of RV free wall respectively (RVLSbas, RVLSmid, RVLSapi and RVLSfw). Then 2D strain parameters were compared among these groups, and the correlation between 2D strain parameters and conventional ultrasonic parameters were analyzed.Results:①TAPSE and S′ gradually decreased in normal group, HFpEF group and HFrEF group(all P<0.05). For the four subgroups of HFpEF, compared to LVDD3, TAPSE、S′ increased significantly in normal group, LVDD1 and LVDD2(all P<0.05). ②RVLSbas, RVLSmid, RVLSfw gradually increased in control group, HFpEF group and HFrEF group(all P<0.05). The same trend appeared in group LVDD1, LVDD2 and LVDD3(all P<0.05). ③In control group, HFpEF group and HFrEF group, RVLSfw showed strong correlation with LVEF( r=0.77, P<0.01) and middle correlation with age, TAPSE, and S′( r=0.41, -0.48, -0.40, P<0.01). In the subgroups of HFpEF, RVLSfw had middle correlation with LV diastolic function( r=0.59, P<0.01), and weak correlation with age( r=0.21, P<0.01), and the same correlations with B-type natriuretic peptide(BNP), FAC, TAPSE( r=0.28, -0.29, -0.29; all P<0.01). Conclusions:2D-STE can detect the early subtle impairment of RV systolic function in HFpEF patients.

Research progresses of echocardiography in evaluation of right heart structure and function in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction patients / 中国医学影像技术

The incidence and mortality of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are increasing year by year. Right ventricle dysfunction (RVD) is an independent predictor of poor prognosis of HFpEF patients. Early evaluation of right heart structures and degrees of RVD are of great significance to the treatment and prognosis of HFpEF patients. The progresses of echocardiography in evaluation of the right heart structure and function in HFpEF were reviewed in this article.

Association between leptin and postpartum depression / 中国神经精神疾病杂志

Objective This study aims to examine the association between leptin and postpartum depression symptoms. Methods Two hundred pregnant women were enrolled and their prenatal serum leptin levels were measured by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The state of depression was first assessed on the third day after delivery and reassessed by a telephone follow up on the 42nd day using the Edinburg postnatal depression scale (EPDS) after delivery. Patients with postpartum depression symptoms with EPDS score ≥13 points after 3 days postpartum or 42 days postpartum were recruited as the depressive symptom group. Results The medians and lower and upper quartiles of the prenatal serum leptin levels in the depressive symptom group (the 3rd day) and the control group were 1.36 (1.15, 1.68) μg/L and 1.49 (1.28, 1.91) μg/L, respectively. After normal conversion, the serum leptin level was significantly lower in the depressive symptom group than in the control group (P=0.021). The medians and lower and upper quartiles of the prenatal serum leptin levels in the depressive symptom group (the 42nd day) and the control group were 1.17 (1.01, 1.36) μg/L and 1.50 (1.29, 1.90) μg/L, respectively. After normal conversion, the serum leptin level was significantly lower in the depressive symptom group than in the control group (P＜0.001). EPDS scores 3 days postpartum (r=-0.199, P=0.014) and 42 days postpartum (r=-0.254, P=0.002) were negatively correlated with prenatal serum leptin levels. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the prenatal leptin levels were associated with depressive symptoms at 42 days postpartum (OR=0.026, P=0.001). Conclusion Prenatal serum leptin levels may be associated with postpartum depressive symptoms, and high levels of leptin are protective factors for postpartum depression.

Objective To establish a method for efficient,accurate genotyping and nucleoside drug-resistant mutation analysis for hepatitis B virus ( HBV ).Methods The 48 HBV serum samples were collected from the Third People's Hospital of Taiyuan from July to August 2011,and HBV DNA were extracted using the commercial kit.The HBV whole genome and P gene were amplified and sequenced.Each HBV sample was genotyped by both constructing phylogenetic trees and genotyping software analysis.The results from two strategies were compared for every sample.Results A total of 48 HBV full genome sequences were identified into 12 B and 36 C genotype's by both constructing phylogenetic trees and genotyping software analysis,which was exactly the same as the analysis using P gene fragment sequencing.Seven forms of nucleoside drug-resistant mutation were found in the P gene for all the samples,with the ratio of 27.1％ ( 13/48 ),in which all the mutation forms were associated with lamivudine or adefovir,and no other nucleotide drugs-related resistance mutations existed.In addition,there were 11 B and 35 C genotype and 2 B/C hybrid type with the analysis using Real-time PCR genotyping for the 48 samples.Conclusion P gene sequencing can be used as a new clinical method for efficient,accurate HBV genotyping and resistant mutation analysis,which provides guidance for hepatitis B treatment.

Improvement of thermal adaptability and fermentation of industrial ethanologenic yeast by genomic DNA mutagenesis-based genetic recombination / 生物工程学报

Ethanol is an attractive alternative to fossil fuels. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the most important ethanol producer. However, in the process of industrial production of ethanol, both cell growth and fermentation of ethanologenic S. cerevisiae are dramatically affected by environmental stresses, such as thermal stress. In this study, we improved both the thermotolerance and fermentation performance of industrial ethanologenic S. cerevisiae by combined usage of chemical mutagenesis and genomic DNA mutagenesis-based genetic recombination method. The recombinant S. cerevisiae strain T44-2 could grow at 44 degrees C, 3 degrees C higher than that of the original strain CE6. The survival rate of T44-2 was 1.84 and 1.87-fold of that of CE6 when heat shock at 48 degrees C and 52 degrees C for 1 h respectively. At temperature higher than 37 degrees C, recombinant strain T44-2 always gave higher cell growth and ethanol production than those of strain CE6. Meanwhile, from 30 degrees C to 40 degrees C, recombinant strain T44-2 produces 91.2-83.8 g/L of ethanol from 200 g/L of glucose, which indicated that the recombinant strain T44-2 had both thermotolerance and broad thermal adaptability. The work offers a novel method, called genomic DNA mutagenesis-based genetic recombination, to improve the physiological functions of S. cerevisiae.

Neuronal damage and neurite change in cell model of intractable epilepsy / 中华神经科杂志

Objective To establish the cell model of intractable epilepsy and to observe its neuronal damage and morphologic change of neurites.Methods The model was established by exposing hippocampal neurons to Mg2+ -free media for 3 hours on days 10 of culture.Expression of lactic acid dehydrogenase (LDH) in supernatant was measured as an index of neuronal damage.The morphologic change of neurons and neurites was observed by optical microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM).Results Compared to the control group, level of LDH (U/L) was significantly increased in the model group at different time points (3 hours: 4.26 ± 1.28, 6 hours: 6.56 ±2.34 and 24 hours: 16.67 ±3.57, P <0.05).With time prolonging, release of LDH in the model group was gradually increased (F = 39.316,P <0.05).Under optical microscope, neurons of model group migrated closely to each other and neurite connections appeared to be gradually "reticulated" after Mg2+ -free media treatment for 24 hours; and the "reticulated" neurites connections become more obvious after 72 hours.Under SEM, neuronal membrane was rough and had several small depressions, neurites were interlaced in cluster.Conclusions Neuronal damage and morphologic change of neurites are verified in the cell model of intractable epilepsy.

The Effects of Gantaikang on Immunological Hepatic Fibrosis Induced by Porcine Serum in Rats / 中国医师杂志

Objective To explore the effects of Gantaikang on porcine serum-induced liver fibrosis in rats. Methods Hepatic fibrosis was induced in rats by intraperitoneal injection of 0.5ml porcine serum twice a week. Gantaikang was simultaneously administered intragastrically to rats in the intervention group at dose of 0.27g/kg?bw for 7 weeks. Then blood was collected, and serum levels of hyaluronic acid(HA), laminin(LN) and precollagen III(PCIII) were measured. Liver tissues was removed, and the pathologic changes of liver were observed by routine, Masson and James staining. The semi-quantitive analysis of collagen and reticulin in the liver tissues were performed. Results Gantaikang could effectively counteract the increase of HA, LN and PCIII level in serum, and attenuate hepatic collagen and reticulin proliferation induced by porcine serum in rats. Conclusion The results suggested that Gantaikang could, to a certain extent, prevent and attenuate immunologic hepatic fibrosis induced by porcine serum in rats.

Postoperative radiotherapy combined with intravesical chemotherapy for T2/T3 bladder cancer / 中华放射肿瘤学杂志

Objective To compare the result of T2/T3 transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the urinary bladder after segmental cystectomy, treated by postoperative radiation plus intravesical chemotherapy and postoperative intravesical chemotherapy alone.Methods From 1985 to Dec.1995 patients with T2/T3 TCC bladder cancer who had been treated by segmental cystectomy were eligible for this retrospective analysis. Fifty-eight patients received postoperative radiotherapy plus intravesical chemotherapy (RT+IVC) and 35 patients were given postoperative intravesical chemotherapy (IVC) with thio-TEPA or calmette-Gue'rin bacilli (BCG). For radiation,8 or 18 ?MV X-ray was given with total dose of 50-60 ?Gy. Vesicoclysis was performed on 50-60 mg thio-TEPA twice per week and 0.5 mg BCG per week.Results The 3-year local control rates of RT+IVC and IVC groups were 68.6% and 48.2% showing a difference statistically significant (? 2=4.08,P=0.044).The 3- and 5-year survival rates of RT+IVC and IVC groups were 70.7%,49.5% and 59.9%,35.7% ,showing no significant difference (? 2=1.77,P=0.184). Among the 5 year survivors of the RT+IVC patients, 78.6% had their bladder preserved. Though untoward radiation reactions were severer, they were tolerated well.Conclusions Combined radiation therapy plus intravesical chemotherapy is indicated for T2/T3 bladder cancer after segmental cystectomy. Multimodality therapy is more favored to improve both the local control and the possibility of preserving the bladder.
