Objective To determine the diagnostic accuracy of dual- source computed tomography coronary angiography (DSCT-CA) for detecting various degrees of coronary artery stenosis. Methods A total of 278 patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (CHD) were selected for DSCT-CA examination. The coronary angiography (CAG) examination was carried out within 30 days in these patients. The result of CAG was used as the gold standard. The coronary artery stenosis of 50% and 75% was used as the sector. Based on the data of patients, DSCT-CA was calculated for quantitative assessment of the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and diagnostic accuracy of coronary stenosis for the coronary blood vessels and coronary artery segments. Kappa consistence test was used to analyze the results of two methods. Results The 50%and 75%of coronary artery stenosis was used for the sector, based on the patients, the sensitivities of DSCT-CA were 99.6% and 99.1%, specificities were 84.2%, 89.6%, diagnostic accuracies were 98.6%and 97.5%, and the Kappa values were 0.88 and 0.91. Based on coronary vessels, the sensitivities were 92.0%and 96.9%, specificities were 89.9%and 94.8%, diagnostic accuracies were 91.0%and 95.8%, and the Kappa values were 0.88 and 0.92. Based on coronary artery segments, the sensitivities were 97.3%, 96.5%, specificities were 93.3%, 98.1%, diagnostic accuracies were 94.2%and 97.9%, and the Kappa values were 0.84 and 0.91. Conclusion Based on patient’s coronary artery analysis, DSCT-CA can accurately assess the different degrees of coronary stenosis, but based on the analysis of the coronary artery segment, the false-positive results may occur in the diagnosis of DACT-CA, which
suggests that DSCT-CA can partly replace the CAG, still cannot completely replace the CAG.

Objective To investigate the potential role of Lycium bararum polysaccharide (LBP) with or without interferon -inducible protein 10 ( CXCL10) in inducing dendritic cells ( DC) functional maturation by monitoring the alteration of cytokines for inducing DC maturation in peripheral blood and by detecting the expression of S-100 protein in tumor tissue, thus to reveal its mechanism of inhibiting experimental liver cancer. Methods H22 bearing mice model was established. The mice were randomized into model group, LBP group (50 mg/kg, ig), CXCL10 (right axillary subcutaneous injection of 15 μg/kg), LBP + CXCL10 group (LBP 50 mg/kg, ig, and right axillary subcutaneous injection of CXCL10 15 μg/kg), 5- fluorouracil (5FU) group ( intraperitoneal injection of 12mg/kg) , 12 mice in each group. The mice were administered the corresponding medicine once a day. After treatment for 2 continuous weeks, blood was sampled from infraorbital vein, and the tumor mass, spleen, thymus were extracted for the calculation of anti-tumor rate, thymus index and spleen index separately . The mRNA expression levels of interleukin 12 (IL-12) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in peripheral blood were detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR, the expression of S-100 protein in tumor tissues was detected by immunohistochemical assay. Results Compared with the model group, tumor growth in LBP group and LBP+CXCL10 group was obviously inhibited, and tumor-inhibitory rate was 55.90%, 50.91%, respectively. Meanwhile, the mRNA expression level of IL-12 was 2.94 folds higher in LBP group and 3.39 folds higher in LBP + CXCL10 group, and TNF-α mRNA expression level was 1.55 folds higher in LBP group and 4.74 folds higher in LBP+CXCL10 group than the model group, the differences being statistical significant ( P<0.05 or P<0.01). Results of immunohistochemical assay showed that S-100+DC number in LBP group and LBP+CXCL10 group was larger than that in the model group (P<0.05 ). Conclusion LBP and LBP+CXCL10 exert significant effect on inhibiting experimental liver cancer. The mechanism may be related with inducing the secretion of IL-12 and TNF-α, which plays a key role in inducing DC maturation, and with the increase of the number of DC in tumor microenvironment.

OBJECTIVETo study the molecular mechanism of tetramethylpyrazine to induce human promyelocytic HL-60 leukemia cells differentiation.

METHODThe cell proliferation was determined by MTT. The differentiation of the cells was detected by NBT reduction test. Cellular morphology was observed by Wright's staining. Cell cycle distribution and the distribution of CD11b, CD14 were detected by flow cytometry. Then RT-PCR and Western blot assay were employed to detect the expressions of c-myc, p27, CDK2 and cyclinE1 in HL-60 cells after exposure to TMP.

RESULTTMP inhibited the proliferation in a dose and time dependent manner. TMP at the concentration of 200 mg x L(-1) to 300 mg x L(-1) induced unterminal differentiation of HL-60 cell and synergistically blocked the cell cycle progression of HL-60 cells in G0/G1 phase. The expression of c-myc was down-regulated as well as the protein expression of cyclin E and CDK2, while the mRNA and protein expression of P27 were remarkably up-regulated.

CONCLUSIONSmall doses of TMP induces differentiation of HL-60 cells throughout the cell cyde, as detected by a slower rate of accumulation in G0/G1, possibly by regulating the expression and activity of G1/S phase-related molecules.

Objective : To classify the furcation involvement (FI) of endodontically treated mandibular first permanent molars based on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), provide reference for individualized treatment of FI. Methods: CBCT images of the FI of 164 endodontically treated mandibular first permanent molars from 163 patients in Nanjing Stomatological Hospital, Medical School of Nanjing University were collected retrospectively. On the CBCT images, the shape and extent of periapical and periodontitis bone resorption, the thickness of residual dentin in the pulp floor and root canal wall, and the periodontal bone resorption of the complete dentition were evaluated. The FI was classified into periodontal, periapical, perforated and mixed types. Results: Among the 164 FIs of endodontically treated mandibular first permanent molars, the periapical type was the most common (41.5%), followed by the mixed type (26.2%), perforated type (18.3%), and periodontal type (14.0%). Among the 68 periapical-type FIs of endodontically treated mandibular first permanent molars, 48.5% were proper root canal filling, 44.1% were insufficient filling and 7.4% were overfilling. Among the 43 mixed-type FIs, the periodontal mixed periapical type was the most common (72.1%). Conclusion Detailed evaluation and classification of furcation involvement could be performed using CBCT images; therefore, the study has guiding significance for clinical treatment.

Objective: To develop the Adolescent Mental Health Literacy Assessment Questionnaire (AMHLAQ), and to evaluate its reliability and validity among undergraduates. Methods: On the basis of the definition of mental health literacy (MHL) and the Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices (KAP) theory, this study constructed a total of 36 items consisting of four dimensions, and scores were measured according to a five point Likert type scale. Using a cluster sampling method, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 3 826 freshmen and sophomore students from two medical schools in Anhui Province. The items were screened by performing t tests, Pearson s correlation coefficient analysis and factor analysis. The reliability and validity of the questionnaire were evaluated using indicators including homogeneity reliability, the split half reliability coefficient, and construct validity. Results: Factor analysis revealed that the AMHLAQ consisted of 22 questions grouped into four domains. The variance cumulative contribution rate was 62.213%. The reliability result showed that the Cronbach s alpha coefficient of the total questionnaire was 0.897, the split half reliability was 0.800, the Cronbach s coefficient of each dimension was 0.796 to 0.885, the split half reliability of each dimension was 0.725 to 0.846, and the indicators had a high level of reliability. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the model fit was good ( χ 2/df =19.319, P <0.01; RMSEA=0.069). Conclusion AMHLAQ is consistent with the evaluation standard of psychometrics, has good reliability and validity, and can be used to estimate the level of MHL among undergraduates.

Objective: To explore the association between middle school students health literacy and bully victimization and associated sex difference, and to provide guidance for bully prevention in adolescents. Methods: During November 2017 to January 2018, 18 900 junior and senior high school students were enrolled from Hefei of Anhui Province, Shenyang of Liaoning Province, Yangjiang of Guangdong Province and Chongqing by multistage cluster sampling. A self rated questionnaires were used to collect demographic information, health literacy, and bully victimization. Group differences by different characteristics and the association between health literacy and bully victimization were analyzed. Results: The detection rates of campus and cyber bullying victimization were 15.8% (2 992/18 900) and 9.1% (1 723/18 900). Boys, junior high school students, students with poor family financial status and few close friends had a detection rate of 28.0%, 18.8%, 23.3%, and 33.6% of school bullying, which are higher than those of the control group ( χ 2=225.64, 148.07, 141.13, 143.49, P <0.01); boys, students with poor household income and few close friends, the detection rates of cyber bullying were 10.9%, 14.4%, and 20.1%, respectively, are higher than the control group ( χ 2=62.96, 112.82, 88.49, P <0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that students with low overall and dimensions scores of health literacy were more likely to suffer from campus and cyber bullying, except for the dimension of physical activity. In addition, at all levels of health literacy, males are more likely to be bullied than females ( P <0.05). Conclusion Health literacy of middle school students is related to bully victimization, which is sex specific. Intervention programs of bullying should focus on health literacy enhancement.

Objective: To explore the association between health literacy and drinking behaviors among middle school students in six provinces of China, and to provide scientific basis for the prevention and intervention of drinking behaviors. Methods: From November 2015 to January 2016, 22 628 students were enrolled from Ulanqab, Shenyang, Xinxiang, Bengbu, Chongqing and Yangjiang by multistage stratified cluster sampling method. And a questionnaire survey was conducted among them to collect demographic information, health literacy and drinking behaviors. Rates on drinking behaviors were compared in students with specific characteristics. Multiple Logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine the association between health literacy and drinking behaviors. Results: The proportion of ever drinking, current drinking, binge drinking, drunkenness was 60.0%(13 580), 16.8%(3 799), 5.9%(1 344) and 9.9%(2 250), respectively. After adjusting for gender, grade, family address, siblings, accommodation type, parental educational level, and self reported family income, compared to the high level health literacy, the low level health literacy was significantly associated with ever drinking (OR=1.76, 95%CI=1.62-1.91), current drinking(OR=1.37, 95%CI=1.23-1.52), binge drinking (OR=1.39, 95%CI=1.18-1.63), and drunkenness(OR=1.68, 95%CI=1.47-1.92), respectively(P<0.01). Conclusion Health literacy of middle school students was related to drinking behaviors. The occurrence of health risk behaviors such as drinking can be prevented and reduced by improving students health literacy level.
