Objective To discuss the correlation between the level of serum cystatin C and lipids in patients with system lupus erythematosus.Methods Used automatic biochemical analyzer to detect serum cystatin C (CysC),triglyceride (TG),total cholesterol (TC),high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C),low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)and hsCRP levels in 136 cases of SLE patients and 113 cases of healthy people.Data obtained using SPSS13.0 software to carry on sta-tistical analysis.Results Outcome of SLE patients group compared with healthy controls,hsCRP (13.5 ± 4.85 mg/L vs 2.03±0.88 mg/L),CysC (2.63±1.95 mg/L vs 0.85±0.37 mg/L),LDL-C (3.06±1.21 mmol/L vs 2.33±0.41 mmol/L),TC (5.32±2.63 mmol/L vs 4.02±1.67 mmol/L)and TG (1.92±0.83 mmol/L vs 1.44±0.8 mmol/L)were signifi-cantly higher the difference between groups was statistically significant(t=2.45~12.4,P <0.05).Compared with healthy controls,HDL-C (1.12±0.31 mmol/L vs 1.52±0.85 mmol/L)was decreased (P <0.01).In SLE patients group,the ser-um CysC level and hsCRP,TC,TG and LDL-C were positively correlated,and the level of HDL-C was negative to the level of CysC.The health control group was no significant correlation.Conclusion Serum lipid levels of SLE patients were posi-tive to the level of CysC.Suggest that joint detection of SLE patients serum CysC and blood lipids index is helpful to the di-agnosis of SLE treatment and condition monitoring.

Objective To investigate the expression of miRNA-16 in peripheral blood monouclear cells (PBMC)from systemic lupus erythematosus( SLE)patients. Methods Sixteen SLE patients who meet the diagnostic criteria of SLE revised in 1997 American rheumatology and 12 healthy individuals were selected as our subjects. Their peripheral blood were sampled. Total RNAs were extracted and purified. The level of miRNA-16 was determined by quantitative reverse transcription PCR( qRT-PCR). U6 was used as housekeeping control. The amount of target miRNA was normalized relative to the amount of U6(ΔCt =ΔCt miRNA-ΔCtU6 ). Relative expression levels were expressed as 2-ΔCt . Results The expression level of miRNA-16 in the SLE patients was 919. 87 ± 715. 45,significantly higher than that in the healthy control group(413. 6 3 ± 330. 69;t= -2. 497,P﹤0. 05). And miRNA-16 expression in SLE active group was 1 298. 79 ± 803. 79,significantly higher than that in SLE stable group(540. 95 ± 350. 15;t= -2. 445,P﹤0. 05). The level of miRNA-16 was related with AnuA (r=0. 669,P=0. 005),ESR(r=0. 608,P=0. 012)and SLEDAI(r=0. 530,P=0. 035). Conclusion The expression of miRNA-16 is high in SLE patients and it is related with SLE activity.
3.Associations among childhood abuse experience and Interleukin-6 in middle school students
Chinese Journal of School Health 2019;40(3):384-387
Objective:
The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of childhood abuse and examined its correlation with inflammatory factor IL-6 level in middle schools students.
Methods:
A total of 911 junior and high school students from a middle school in Shenyang were enrolled in this study to investigate the experience of childhood abuse and its association with IL-6 level in fasting blood samples in December 2017.
Results:
The prevalence of childhood maltreatment was 21.0%, the prevalence of physical, emotional and sexual abuse was 21.8%, 20.3% and 9.5%, respectively. Physical abuse, emotional abuse and total abuse were associated with high levels of IL-6 in junior high school boys, χ2 values were 3.88, 6.78, and 9.10, respectively (P<0.05). There was no significant correlation between abuse experiences with IL-6 levels among junior high school girls and senior high school students. Regression analysis showed that physical abuse, emotional abuse and total abuse were positively associated with IL-6 concentration among junior high school boys(OR=2.23, 3.49, 1.58, P<0.05).
Conclusion
Physical and emotional abuse in childhood associates with the increase of IL-6 level among junior school boys. Abnormal inflammatory factor level might be potential mechanism linking childhood abuse with adverse health outcomes.
4.Interaction effects of co-consumption of takeaway fast foods and sodas on depressive symptom in Chinese adolescents
Chinese Journal of School Health 2019;40(4):538-541
Objective:
To explore the association between co-consumption of takeaway fast foods and sodas with depressive symptoms among Chinese adolescents, and to provide a reference for reducing the occurence of depression among adolescents.
Methods:
A multi-center population-based survey was conducted in 32 schools in 4 provinces across China. A total of 14 500 adolescents completed eligible questionnaires. Depressive symptoms were assessed by using Children’s Depression Inventory(CDI), while consumption of takeaway fast foods and sodas was collected using the semi-quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire(FFQ).
Results:
27.26%(3 952/14 500) of adolescents were reported of depressive symptoms. The low, middle, and high-frequency consumption of takeaway fast foods (a OR=1.12, 1.73, 1.56, P<0.05) and sodas (a OR=1.64, 2.17, 3.54, P<0.01) were associated with depressive symptoms, and dose-response relationships were observed in all association(P<0.01). Meanwhile, positive additive interactions were observed in the association(a OR=2.46, P<0.01). The relative excess risk, attribution ratio and the interaction index of synergy was 0.45(0.12-0.77), 0.18(0.06-0.30) and 1.44(1.10-1.89), respectively.
Conclusion
Co-consumption of takeaway fast foods and sodas significantly associates with depressive symptoms by synergistic effect among Chinese adolescents.

In recent years, osteoporosis (OP) has become one of the main diseases affecting the health of middle-aged and elderly people in China, and the prevalence of OP has increased significantly. The clinical diagnosis and treatment guidelines for this disease are also constantly updated. The overall principles speciallyemphasise that doctors and patients need to work together to negotiate the details of the diagnosis and treatment guidelines, in order to improve the OP clinical diagnosis and treatment rate. Therefore, patients′ knowledge of the disease, understanding of clinical guidelines, and cooperation with doctors to implement diagnosis and treatment plans are very important. In this study, from the most concerned issues of the patients, we established the OP patient practice guideline working group. 14 recommendations, as the OP patient practice guidelines, are proposed in accordance with the relevant principles of the "World Health Organization guidelines development manual" and the international normative process.

Objective To assess and compare the incidence,clinical characteristics,treatment,and prognosis of acute heart failure patients from different grades hospitals in Beijing.Methods In this prospective internet prognosis registered study (Beijing AHF Registry),a total of 3 335 consecutive patients admitted to 14 emergency departments in Beijing from January 1st 2011 to September 23rd 2012 were enrolled.According to hospital grade,these patients were divided into two groups,349 patients were from secondary hospitals,and 2 956 patients were from tertiary hospitals.Results Among the 3 335 patients,the medium age was 71 (58,79) years,and male accounted for 53.16%.The most common underlying disease were coronary disease (43.27%),hypertension (17.73%),cardiomyopathy (16.07%) etc.The average treatment time in Emergency Department was 66.82 h.The emergency department mortality rate was 3.81% (127 cases).The 30-day and 1-year cumulative all-cause mortality were 15.3% and 32.27%,respectively.The 30-day and 1-year cumulative all-cause readmission were 15.64% and 46.89%,respectively.Compared with patients in tertiary hospitals,patients in secondary hospitals had more onset acute heart failure patients (63.64% vs.49.93%),shorter emergency department treatment time (12 h vs.41 h),lower discharge rate (3.43% vs.37.45%) and emergency department mortality(1.58% vs.4.09%).Compared with those in tertiary hospitals,1-year cumulative all-cause mortality (25.6% vs.33.2%),cardiovascular disease mortality (20.2% vs.26.0%),aggravated heart failure mortality (22.4% vs.28.8%) were lower in secondary hospitals.Following propensity score matching,compared to tertiary hospitals,patients in secondary hospitals showed lower utilization rate of beta-blockers and ACEFARB (4.51% vs.28.17%,1.41% vs.9.58%),except the pironolactone.Conclusion Acute heart failure in emergency department is associated with a high mortality rate and readmission rate.There is still a big gap between guidelines recommend medication current treatments for acute heart failure.
