Objective To investigate relationship between serum uric acid, blood lipids and blood pressure in obesity children.Methods 71 obese volunteers were selected as obesity group and 30 normal volunteers who matched obese volunteers in age and sex as control group from 13 702 children in Xiangtan city by sampling survey. Their body mass index(BMI), systolic and diastolic blood pressure(SBP,DBP),serum uric acid(UA), high-sensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) and blood lipids were checked respectively. Then ,the difference between the two groups was compared and the relationship of all indexes was analyzed, then the difference between the two groups was compared and the relationship of all indexes was analyzed.Results The values of serum UA,hs-CRP, triglyceride(TG),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C) and apolipoprotein B(apoB) in obesity group were significantly higher than those in control group (P

Objective To evaluate the incremental value of 131I SPECT/CT over 131I whole body scan (WBS) in the patients with DTC.Methods A total of 97 patients with DTC (31 males,66 females,mean age:44.1 years,age range:17 to 74 years) were retrospectively reviewed.All subjects underwent 131I WBS and SPECT/CT after 131I treatment.The images were interpreted by 2 experienced nuclear medicine physicians.The final diagnosis was based on the pathologic findings and clinical follow-up.The diagnostic accuracies between 131I WBS and 131I SPECT/CT were compared using x2 test with SPSS 13.0.Results 131I WBS detected 175 lesions (128 neck and 47 distant lesions),while 131I SPECT/CT found 176 lesions (128 neck and 48 distant lesions).Out of the 176 lesions,78 were confirmed as benign and 95 as malignant,including 51 lesions in thyroid bed,67 cervical lymph nodes or local residual lesions,7 lesions related to local physiological uptake,30 distant metastases and 18 distant foci due to physiological uptake.The other 3 lesions were still in follow-up.The sensitivity and specificity of 131 I WBS was 73.7% (70/95) and 78.2% (61/78),respectively.The accuracy of 131I WBS (106/173,61.3%) was lower than that of 131I SPECT/CT (171/173,98.8%; x2=72.3,P<0.05).131I SPECT/CT corrected the diagnosis of 131I WBS in 67 lesions,including 37 local lesions (37/128,28.9%) and 30 (30/48,62.5%) distant metastases.The sources of error for the 67 lesions were due to wrong location (n =27) or wrong characterization (n =40).Compared with 131I WBS,131I SPECT/CT changed the location in 27 lesions,clinical staging in 8 cases and therapeutic strategy in 14 cases.Conclusions 131 I SPECT/CT could improve the differentiation of malignant local lesions from residual thyroid,of distant metastatic lymph node,lung or bone lesions from physiological uptake.Such incremental values would be valuable to the management of DTC patients compared with WBS.

Objective To establish a method focusing on regulation of CNN3 gene in the rat hippocampus and help to explore the role of CNN3 gene played in the brain physiology and pathology.Methods One cDNA sequence and three shRNAs targeting CNN3 gene were designed and synthesized.The recombinant lentivirus-mediated expressing and three short hairpin RNA ( shRNA) vectors targeting CNN3 gene in the rats were constructed with engineering technology.All recombinant vectors were intravenously injected into rats hippocampi guided by stereotaxic apparatus.Western blot was performed to explore the best shRNA and to study the changes of CNN3 gene in the rat hippocampus after transfection with the silence and over-expressed vectors.Results The lentivirus-mediated vector expressing CNN3-OE and three shRNA vectors targeting CNN3 gene were successfully constructed.Within eight weeks after transfection, the vectors of CNN3-OE and three CNN3-shRNAs changed the expression of CNN3 gene in the rat hippocampus, in particular, all the protein levels of calponin-3 encoded by CNN3 gene were significantly down-regulated along with the time, with the highest inhibitory rate of 73.6%in the CNN3-shRNA2 group.Significant up-regulation of calponin-3 protein level by 93.88%, was found only on the 14th day after transfection.Conclusions Lentivirus-mediated vectors of CNN3-OE and CNN3-shRNAs may regulate in vivo the CNN3 gene level in the local brain region of rats via stereotactic injection.The study lays a foundation for disease prevention and treatment in the future.

Objective To systematically review ICU-nurse lightly sedated patients, in order to provide evidence for sedation. Methods Databases were searched including The Cochrane Library, Joanna Briggs Institute Library, PubMed, EMbase, Ovid, ELSEVIER CMB, CNKI and WANFAN from inception to May 2018, to collect qualitative studies in the experience of ICU nurses lightly sedated patients. The quality of included studies was evaluated according to JBI Critical Appraisal Tool for qualitative studies in Australia. The results were integrated by integrating methods. Results A total of seven studies were included. Thirty-five complete findings were grouped according to their similarities to form six categories. These categories resulted in two synthesized findings: Despite the complexity and unknowns of care, critical care nurses were slowly accepting the fact and try to cope with; there were some barriers on the implementation of sedation, there should have a multi-party collaboration. Conclusions the heath management system should pay more attention to implementing light sedation strategies, ICU-nurses should be given support, guidance and encouragement.

Objective:To explore the effect of integrated application of multi-mode teaching in presentation-assimilation-discussion (PAD) class of medical microbiology.Methods:A total of 102 2017-batch clinical medical students of Hubei University of Medicine were collected, and the quasi-experimental study was adopted. The experimental class (50 students) was established by setting a PAD class, integrating the use of WeChat public account, Rain Classroom and WJX software during the teaching implement. And traditional mode of teaching was carried out in the control class (52 students). Moreover, the questionnaire survey and the test assessment were applied to compare the teaching effects of the two classes.Results:Questionnaire results showed that scores of indicators related to the teaching effectiveness in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.01), and scores of tests in the experimental group were significantly better than those in the control group ( P<0.01). The t test was performed by SPSS 20 in the study. Conclusion:The integrated application of multi-mode teaching enriches the teaching mode of PAD class, which fully describes the student-centered concept, and increases students' initiative, participation, as well as students' knowledge mastery and innovation.
