Objective To observe the toxicity, apoptosis and cell proliferation cycle of Mangiferin on the BEL 7404 human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line, and explore the possibility of Mangiferin as a new tumor chemopreventive drug. Methods MTT method was used to determine the effect of Mangiferin on cell proliferation, microscopy method was used to observe cytotoxicity of Mangiferin, and flow cytometry method was used to determine apoptosis induction and cell cycle proliferation blocking effects of Mangiferin. Results The cytotoxicity effects were observed in various concentrations of Mangiferin and at different exposure times. The effects were enhanced as the Mangiferin concentration increased and exposure time prolonged. The apoptosis effect was also enhanced, and cell cycle arrested at G 2/ M phase. All the above effects became significant when cells exposed to the concentration from 20 ?mol/L to 200 ?mol/L of Mangiferin at 24 h. Conclusions Mangiferin is cytotoxic, and may induce apoptosis. Mangiferin has cell cycle blocking effects on hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Its pharmaceutical potentials is worth for further investigating.

Objective To study the effect of camphor oil in killing Demodex in vitro and to further analyze the killing mechanism.Methods The mites were collected with adhesive cellophane tape and randomly divided into six groups.The killing effect of camphor oil was investigated with different concentrations against Demodex in vitro.The reaction progress was pictured using Motic Images software.Results Camphor oil had better killing effect on Demodex folliculorum than on D.brevis in vitro.The death rate increased with the drug concentration and time.The most suitable and effective concentration of killing both Demodex folliculorum and D.brevis in vitro was 12.5%.After the drug was given,the mites contracted and twisted,and then relaxed and died.Conclusion Camphor oil has strong killing effect on Demodex in vitro.The main mechanism of camphor oil may be related to direct contact and neuromuscular toxicity.

Objective To explore the potential role of high levels of adiponectin (AD) in the inflammatory joint of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods ELISA was used to measure the levels of AD, IL-Iβ,IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, MCP-1 and MMP-9 in the synovial fluids of RA and osteroarthritis (OA), the levels of these cytokines were tested after the synovial fibroblasts (SFLs) were stimulated with AD. Doublelabeling immunohistochemistry was used to analyze the expression of AD in RA synovium. Cytokines were measured by ELISA after SFLs were stimulated with AD. The expression of RANKL was detected by real-time PCR after MH7A were treated with AD and IL-6 ANOVA, Student's t-test, Mann-Whitney U-tese, Spearman's-test were used for statistical analysis. Results High levels of AD in RA synovial fluids were correlated with IL-6 levels. Double labeling immunohistochemistry showed that AD was localized in fibroblasts. MCP-1 and IL-6 were dramatically increased in human synovial fibroblasts following incubation with recombinant AD for 24 h. RANKL mRNA was significantly increased in MH7A after treated with AD and IL-6. Conclusion High levels of AD in the inflammatory joints of RA are likely to contribute to the high expression of IL-6, MCP-1 and RANKL, which may play an important role in the chronic inflammation, osteoclasts activation and bone erosion in RA.

Objective To explore the prevalence of health literacy in China in 2011-2013.Methods The eligible studies were identified by searching China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI),Chinese BioMedical Literature Database (CBM),VIP Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals (VIP),Wanfang database,PubMed and Embase.The Meta-analysis was applied with Stata 12.0 software.Subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis were performed to test the robust of the results.Results A total of 28 studies,including 53 308 residents,were finally included in the review.Meta-analysis revealed the prevalence of health literacy in China to be 16％ (95％CI 15％-16％),and the prevalence of health concepts and knowledge was 25％ (95％CI 25％-26％),and healthy lifestyles and behaviors was 13％ (95％CI 12％-14％),and health skills was 32％ (95％CI 31％-32％).Conclusions The health literacy levels of residents showed a rising trend.There were differences between rural and urban health literacy levels and different regions.Rural residents' health literacy level increased more significantly than that of the city.Due to limited kinds of methods,more scientific and effective methods were needed to evaluate the health literacy.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of UL-16 binding protein 2 (ULBP-2,macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1 (MIC-1) for pancreatic cancer.Methods The serum samples of 152pancreatic cancer patients,20 precursors of pancreatic cancer,91 chronic pancreatitis patients and 96 age/sexmatched healthy persons were collected.The serum ULBP-2 and MIC-1 levels were determined by using the ELISA kit and were compared with level of CA19-9.A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed to evaluate their diagnostic values for pancreatic cancer.Results The serum levels of ULBP-2 in patients with pancreatic cancer,precursors of pancreatic cancer,chronic pancreatitis and healthy persons were (219.9 ± 182.5),(62.6 ± 11.4),(68.4 ± 36.8),(76.5 ± 40.9) μg/L,the corresponding values of MIC 1 were (3521.3±3903.4),(973.6±589.0),(959.6±879.0),(427.6±317.0) μg/L,while the corresponding values of CA19-9 were (1448.8 ± 3707.0),(12.0 ± 9.3),(38.2 ± 139.0),(7.7 ± 5.0)kU/L.The parameters in pancreatic cancer patients were significantly higher than those in control group (x2 =40.628,71.662,45.505,15.827,36.433,63.494,26.264,73.427,49.088,P ＜ 0.01).The area under ROC curves(AUC) of ULBP-2,MIC-1,CA19-9 were 0.909,0.864,0.818,and ULBP-2 was superior to CA19-9 and MIC-1,however the combined measurement of three markers produced the highest diagnostic yield(AUC =0.982).For early stage pancreatic diseases (precursors to pancreatic cancer and IA stage pancreatic cancer),AUC of ULBP-2,MIC-1,CA19-9 were 0.506,0.837,0.684,MIC-1 was superior to ULBP-2 and CA19-9,however the combined measurement of MIC-1 and CA19-9 produced the highest diagnostic yield(AUC =0.897).Conclusions Serum ULBP-2,MIC-1 levels are significantly elevated in pancreatic cancer patients.The combined measurement of ULBP-2,MIC-1 and CA 19-9 can increase the diagnostic yield for pancreatic cancer.

Aim To study the influences of miR-203 on ursolic acid (UA ) sensitivity in leukemic K562 cell.Methods In the experimental system,eukaryot-ic expression vector of hsa-miR-203 (PmiR-203 )was transfected into K562 cells using LipofectamineTM 2000.K562 cells were incubated with different con-centration of UA alone or in combination with PmiR-203 .The cell proliferation was analyzed by MTT as-say.The cell apoptosis was measured by double stai-ning with Annexin V and Propidium Iodide.The ex-pression of Bcr/abl protein was detected by Western Blot.Results The miR-203 promoted the sensitivity of UA by up to 1 .55-fold and the IC50 was reduced from 44.3μmol · L-1 to 30.7 μmol · L-1 .The a-mount of apoptotic cells was increased in UA combined with PmiR-203 group (P<0.05).PmiR-203 downreg-ulated the expression of Bcr/abl protein in K562 cells. Conclusion Our results support a substantial role of miR-203 that enhances UA sensitivity in K562 cell and the mechanism appears to be related to the dounregula-tion of Bcr/abl by miR-203 .

Objective:To observe and follow up the effect of transcatheter occlusion of the azygos/hemiazygos veins in patients with complex congenital heart diseases and venous stealing after bidirectional Glenn procedure, who had not meet the criteria of total cavopulmonary connection(TCPC) or corrective operation.Methods:This article analyzed retrospectively and followed up the effect of transcatheter occlusion of the azygos/hemiazygos vein in patients after bidirectional Glenn procedure hospitalized during February 2012 to September 2017.Results:Transcatheter occlusions of azygos veins were performed in 21 patients and left superior vena cava(LSVC) was occluded in one of patients meanwhile. Azygos veins and hemiazygos veins were both occluded in two patients. One patient had the hemiazygos vein occluded. Aortic-to-pulmonary collaterals were occluded in 6 patients in the meantime. Atrial septal defect occluders were applied in the transcatheter occlusions of azygos veins, hemiazygos veins and LSVC, except one patient with an azygos vein which was 5.5 mm in diameter. Saturation was increased from 0.78 to 0.85 through occlusion( P<0.05). The pressure of superior vena cava(SVC) did not elevate and the mean pressure of SVC was13.97mmHg and 14.22 mmHg before and after occlusion( P>0.05). No complications associated with interventional procedures occurred. There was no significant decrease in blood oxygen saturation. Facial and upper limb edema, varicose veins in the chest and abdominal wall, pleural effusion and peritoneal effusion did not happen during follow up of 2 years. Two patients underwent TCPC operation one year and five years after interventional occlusion separately. Conclusion:Transcatheter occlusion of azygos/hemiazygos vein or PLSVC was feasible in patients with complex congenital heart diseases and venous stealing after bidirectional Glenn procedure on the premise of choosing suitable indications. Suitable indications meant that the pressure of pulmonary artery and superior vena cava was less than 20 mmHg in the basal state, and the pressure of superior vena cava was also less than 20 mmHg before the release of the occluder. Occlusions may increase the oxygen saturation of patients, improve the quality of life, and even promote the development of pulmonary vascular bed, so as to achieve the indications of TCPC operation in some patients.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) of children aged 4-6 years in public kindergartens in Shanghai.Methods Songjiang district and Xuhui district were selected randomly as the representative sample.By means of "Clancy Autism Behavior Scale","Social Communication Questionnaire" and "high-functioning Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire",all of the 33 public kindergartens in chosen area,which contained 10 385 children aged 4-6 years,were surveyed.Those who were screened as suspected cases would be further diagnosed by "Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised" and "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,Fifth Edition".Results Among 9 665 valid questionnaires,9 children were diagnosed with ASD.The ratio of male to female was 8:1,the point prevalence rate was 0.93‰.The results of ADI-R corresponded with that of DSM-5.There were two children who never had medical records.For others,"language" problem was the most likely reason for their parents to seek medical help,while "deficits in social communication" was the main symptom of patients.Conclusion The prevalence of ASD was lower than those recorded in literature,home and abroad which might be related to some patients not going to public kindergartens.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between antithrombin Ⅲ(AT-Ⅲ) activity and survival, bleeding and thrombosis complications in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF), and to explore the prediction value of AT-Ⅲ activity in the prognosis of ACLF patients.Methods:The clinical data of 130 hospitalized patients with ACLF were retrospectively collected in Wuxi No.5 People′s Hospital from January 1, 2013 to April 1, 2019. The liver function, international normalized ratio (INR), and 90-day survival rate were detected. The AT-Ⅲ activity values at admission, week two, week four, and week eight of hospitalization were recorded, and the occurrences of fecal occult blood and femoral vein thrombosis were also recorded. The measurement data were compared by t test, analysis of variance, or rank sum test, and the categorical data were compared by chi-square test. The risk factors affecting the survival of ACLF patients were analyzed by Cox regression. The survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results:At the end of 90-day follow-up of 130 patients, 56 patients died, 20 patients (15.38%) were fecal occult blood positive and 15 (11.54%) had femoral vein thrombosis. The baseline AT-Ⅲ activity in the death group was lower than that in the survival group ((17.89±13.68)% vs (36.03±11.96)%), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-8.045, P<0.01). The baseline AT-Ⅲ activities in fecal occult blood positive and negative patients were (18.26±11.52)% and (25.06±10.97)%, respectively, and in femoral vein thrombosis and non-thrombotic patients were (17.55±10.33)% and (32.48±11.88)%, respectively. The differences were both statistically significant ( t=8.746 and 8.090, respectively, both P<0.01). Through dynamic monitoring of AT-Ⅲ, the AT-Ⅲ activity showed a downward trend in the death group, while that showed an upward trend in the survival group, but the differences were not statistically significant ( F=0.282 and 0.401, respectively, both P>0.05). The Cox regression analysis suggested INR (odds ratio ( OR)=1.364, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 1.078-1.726, P=0.010) and AT-Ⅲ activity ( OR=0.930, 95% CI 0.906-0.954, P<0.01) were the independent factors affecting the survival of patients with ACLF. The area under the receiver operator characteristic curve of the AT-Ⅲ activity for predicting 90-day survival outcome of the patient was 0.706 (95% CI 0.773-0.952, P<0.01), and the cut-off value was 25%. Patients with AT-Ⅲ activity ≥ 25% had a higher survival rate than those with AT-Ⅲ activity <25% ( χ2=58.20, P<0.01). Conclusions:AT-Ⅲ activity is associated with fecal occult blood positive and femoral vein thrombosis in ACLF patients. The AT-Ⅲ activity is an independent influencing factor for predicting the prognosis of ACLF patients. Patients with AT-Ⅲ activity less than 25% have the higher mortality rate.
