2.The structure and function of glycoprotein hormone receptor Lgr6
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2016;23(5):780-782
Objective Leucine -rich repeat (LRR) -containing G protein -coupled receptor 6 (Lgr6) is glycoprotein hormone receptor and a part of G protein -coupled receptors (GPCRs).Lgr6 is composed of 977 amino acid residues of a polypeptide chain.Having 17 leucine -rich repeats and seven transmembrane domain.In the N -and C -termini are connected with cysteine -rich sequences.It is highest homologous to Lgr4 and Lgr5,but less relationship with thyroid stimulating hormone receptor,progesterone receptor,and follicle -stimulating hormone recep-tor.Research found out that Lgr6 marks in the hair follicles of stem cells can differentiate into all cells in the skin and Lgr6 expression in tumor also has important biological significance.
3.Use of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire in Diagnosis of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
Chinese Journal of Gastroenterology 2015;(7):439-441
Gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD)is a commonly seen digestive disease. So far,there is no golden standard for the diagnosis of GERD. The main diagnosis methods used in clinical practice include gastroscopy,24 h esophageal pH monitoring and proton pump inhibitor test,however,these methods are either invasive or complex in procedure and with low diagnostic accuracy rate. Gastroesophageal reflux disease questionnaire(GerdQ)possesses multiple advantages such as simple,non-invasive and easily acceptable. This article reviewed the use of GerdQ in diagnosis of GERD.

Objective To observe and study the influence degree of strengthen training for family members for the treatment compliance and unhealthy lifestyle of patients with diabetes mellitus. Methods A total of 64 patients with diabetes mellitus from January 2015 to March 2016 were selected and divided into two groups by the method of random number table,32 patients in control group were taken care with routine nursing of diabetes mellitus,32 patients in observation group were taken care with strengthen training for family members,then the treatment compliance,related knowledge cognition of unhealthy lifestyle and unhealthy lifestyle situation of two groups before the intervention and at 4th, 8th and 12th week after the intervention were compared. Results The treatment compliance, related knowledge cognition of unhealthy lifestyle and unhealthy lifestyle situation of two groups before the intervention all had no obvious differences (all P>0.05). The treatment compliance at 4th, 8th and 12th week after intervention were (6.26 ± 0.32), (6.95 ± 0.36), (7.28 ± 0.40) scores in observation group, and (5.23 ± 0.29), (6.01 ± 0.30), (6.30 ± 0.33) scores in control group, and the differences were significant (t=8.253, 9.201, 10.257, all P<0.05). The related knowledge cognition of unhealthy lifestyle at 4th, 8th and 12th week after intervention were (80.78±5.90), (89.44±6.02), (93.43±6.20) scores in observation group, and (73.38± 5.73), (77.93±5.84), (82.20±6.01) scores in control group, and the differences were significant (t=11.258,12.563, 13.324, all P<0.05 ). The unhealthy lifestyle situation at 4th, 8th and 12th week after intervention were 75.00%(24/32), 90.63%(29/32), 96.88%(31/32) in observation group, and 59.38%(19/32), 68.75%(22/32),78.13%(25/32) in control group, and the differences were significant (χ2=7.251, 7.468, 9.169, all P<0.05). Conclusions The influence of strengthen training for family members for the treatment compliance and unhealthy lifestyle of patients with diabetes mellitus are more active, so the value of strengthen training for family members of patients with diabetes mellitus is higher.

Objective To investigate the expression of Hedgehog signaling pathway members,Shh,Gli1,Sufu and TAK1 as well as phosphorylation-TAK1 (p-TAK1) protein in human pancreatic carcinoma tissues and to explore its relationship between the expression of proteins and the clinicopathologic parameters.Methods The expressions of Shh,Glil,Sufu,TAK1,p-TAK1 proteins in 38 samples of pancreatic cancer tissues and pairing adjacent normal pancreatic tissues were detected by immunohistochemical method.The relationship among the proteins and the relationship between the expression of the proteins and the clinicopathologic parameters were examined.Results The positive expression rates of Shh,Glil,Sufu,TAK1,p-TAK1 protein in human pancreatic carcinoma were 86.8% (33/38),52.6% (22/38),68.4%(26/38),55.3% (21/38),52.6% (20/38),but they were not expressed in adjacent normal pancreatic tissues.Gli1 expression was positively related to distant metastasis and clinical staging (r =0.524,0.361,P <0.05),Sufu expression was positively related to patient's gender (r =-0.378,P <0.05),TAK1 expression was positively related to clinical staging (r =0.468,P < 0.05),p-TAK1 expression was positively related to clinical staging and distant metastasis (r =0.418,0.361,P < 0.05).Gli1 expression was positively related to TAK1 and p-TAK1 expression in pancreatic cancer tissues (P < 0.05).Conclusions Hedgehog signaling pathway and p-TAK1 may play a role in the pathogenesis of pancreatic cancer,and the two pathways may interact with each other.

Objective To assess the reliability and validity of Chinese version National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) and Subjective Work Assessment Technique (SWAT) in evaluating mental workload of community physicians.Methods One hundred and ten community physicians selected by convenience sampling method from Shanghai were recruited.The split-half reliability,Cronbach's α coefficient and Item-total coefficients were adopted to assess the reliability and the validity of Chinese version NASA-TLX and SWAT scales in evaluating the metal workload of participants.Results For NASA-TLX,the Split-Half,Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.703 and 0.619 respectively,all Item-total coefficients (except for performance item) were greater than 0.4 (P < 0.01).For SWAT,the Split-Half,Cronbach's α coefficient of was 0.647 and 0.669 respectively,Item-total coefficients were all greater than 0.4 (P < 0.01).Factor analysis showed that two scales had good structure validity; item discrimination showed satisfactory item validity (except for performance item).The Spearman correlation coefficients between two scales ranged from 0.359 to 0.465 (P < 0.01).Both of the modified versions of NASA-TLX had better reliability and validity than the original one,the one with removed both performance and frustrate item was better than one with removed performance item only.Conclusions The Chinese version NASA-TLX and SWAT can serve as reliable and valid instruments for assessing the community physicians' perception of mental workload in China; and the modified version of NASA-TLX especially the one with removed performance and frustrate item seems to work better than the original one.
