Objective To investigate the association of single nuchotide polymorphism (SNP) + 45 T/G and + 276 G/T in the adiponectin gene with type 2 diabetes in Guangxi Zhuang pregnant women.Methods Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was used to determine the distributions of allele and genotype frequencies of SNP + 45T/G polymorphism and SNP + 276 G/T polymorphism in adiponect in gene in 98 type 2 diabetic patients and 135 normal control subjects.Results The TG,GG genotype frequencies of the SNP +45T/G were higher in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) than those in controls (P ＜ 0.05).The G-allele frequency was significantly higher than those in controls (P ＜ 0.05).The distribution of genotype and allele frequencies of the SNP + 276 G/T polymorphism was not different in diabetes and control groups (P ＞ 0.05).Women carrying the TG and GG allele of SNP +45T/G showed higher TG (P ＜0.05),and lower APN levels than those with TT genotype (P ＜0.05).Conclusions G allele of SNP +45T/G was related to GDM possibly.T→G variation might involve in the occurrence of GDM by reducing serum diponectin levels.Monitoring this site in pregnant women could predict the risk of GDM.

To determine fluoride in toothpaste samples by ion chromatography,the solution of NaHCO3 and the solution of Na2B4O7-NaOH were selected as eluents respectively to optimize chromatographic detection conditions. Either the 0. 45～1.0 mmol/L NaHCO3 solution or the 5.0～20. 0 mmol/L NaB4O7-1. 0～2.0 mmol/L NaOH solution as eluents could effectively separate the chromatographic peak of fluoride in toothpaste samples from acetate and formate and accurately quantify the contents of fluoride in toothpaste samples. The recovery rates,precision(relative standard deviation) and detection limit were 92.5％～100. 2％ ,＜0. 6％ and 0. 208 mg/kg respectively. The data obtained by ion chromatography using NaHCO3 solution as eluent more approached to that by selective-fluoride-ion-electrode.

Objective To know the blood lead level of children aged 3-14 years in some areas of Guangdong province. Methods Stratified-clustered-random sampling and simple random sampling were used. 1905 children aged 3-14 years were chosen from Guangzhou,Shenzhen,Shaoguan,Zhaoqing and Lianping and the blood lead level was tested by ICP-MS. Results The mean lead level of children aged 3-14 years was 69.55 ?g/L. The rate of exceed standard limit of blood lead was 16.4% (≥100 ?g/L). The differences of the blood lead level and the rate of lead poisoning of children among different areas were significant. The blood lead level and the rate of lead poisoning of children in Shaoguan were highest in the investigated areas. The blood lead level and the rate of lead poisoning of children aged 3 years were higher than those in the other age groups. The blood lead level of boys was higher than that of girls. Conclusion The blood lead level and the rate of children lead poisoning in the underdeveloped cities and rural areas are higher.

Objective To investigate the patients with postoperative skin damage around the stoma after Miles operation,take measures according to the influencing factors,and explore an effective way to reduce the incidence of skin damage around the stoma patients.Methods There were 62 cases of skin damage around the stoma in 110 cases of patients with permanent colostomy in out-patient follow-up.Each patient with skin damage occurring around the stoma were retrospectively analyzed the reasons,and the related factors that might affect Miles postoperative stoma skin damage were analyzed.Results The incidence rate of Miles postoperative skin damage around the stoma was 56.36％,through the multi-factor Logistic regression analysis,there were six related factors with the Miles postoperative skin damage around the stoma,patients' excrement stimulation,ostomy bag allergies,improper operation of the replacement of the ostomy bag,the potential skin disease,excessive scrub / rub the skin,unfamiliar with ostomy care knowledge were the influencing factors of patients with skin damage around the stoma.Conclusions Appropriate stoma care products and paste methods,detailed guiding of patients and their families about ostomy care knowledge and skills can significantly reduce the incidence rate of Miles postoperative skin damage around the stoma.

Objective To investigate the application effect of nasojejunal feeding tube nutrition in patients with severe traumatic brain injury. Methods The clinical data of 54 patients with severe traumatic brain injury admitted to the Department of Surgical Critical Care Medicine,the Third Affiliated Hospital,Sun Yatsen University between June 2012 and December 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. They were divided into either a nasojejunal feeding tube nutrition support group (nasojejunal group,n = 26)or an asogastric feeding tube nutrition support group (asogastric group,n = 28)according to the different ways of enteral nutrition. All patients began to receive nasal feeding whole protein preparations (enteral nutritional emulsion,TPF-D)from the second day after admission to intensive care unit (ICU). The time to reach the enteral nutrition support target,the time of parenteral nutritional support,nutritional index (albumin and hemoglobin),the time admission to ICU,and the incidences of infection and gastrointestinal complications in both groups were observed. Results (1)According to the body weight to calculate calorie demand, the nasojejunal group reaching the time of enteral nutrition support target was faster than that of the asogastric group (3. 0 ± 0. 8 d vs. 7. 7 ± 2. 5 d). There was significant difference between the 2 groups (P < 0. 01). The time of the combined parenteral nutrition support in the nasojejunal group was reduced significantly compared with the asogastric group (2. 0 ±0. 8 d vs. 6. 7 ±2. 5 d). There was significant difference between the 2 groups (P <0. 01). (2)At day 30after treatment,the levels of total serum protein and hemoglobin in the nasojejunal group were higher than those of the asogastric group (64 ± 6 g/ L vs. 61 ± 6 g/ L and 120 ± 17 g/ L vs. 106 ± 16 g/ L,respectively. There were significant differences (P < 0. 05). (3)The mean length of stay in the ICU was obviously shorter in nasojejunal group compared with the asogastric group (11 ± 5 d vs. 14 ± 6 d). There was significant difference between the 2 groups (P < 0. 05). (4)There were no significant differences in complications of the patients,such as the incidences of pulmonary infection,hyperglycemia,and diarrhea between the 2 groups (P > 0. 05). Conclusion Nasojejunal feeding tube nutrition support may be faster to achieve the target of enteral nutrition supports and shorten the time in ICU.

To investigate the inhibitory effects of Ginsenoside Rb1 (GRb1) on apoptosis caused by Herpes Simplex Virus-1 (HSV-1) in Human Glioma Cells (U251),U251 cells were infected by HSV-1 at a multiplicity of infection of 5 and GRb1,GRb1+HSV-1,HSV-1 and control groups.MTT and cell apoptosis assays were used to detect the inhibitory effects of GRbl on the apoptosis of U251 cells that caused by HSV-1 infection for various concentrations of drug and virus treatments by MTT assay.We found that in the 400 μg/mL GRbl and 400 μg/mL GRbl+HSV-1 groups,MTT values were higher than control group at all times (P＜0.05).Moreover,the apoptosis rate in the 400 μg/mL GRb1+HSV-1 group was lower than the HSV-1 group (P＜0.05).These results confirmed that,at appropriate concentrations,GRb 1 could inhibit nerve cell apoptosis in HSV-1 infections.

Objective To investigate the cause,prevention and treatment of intra-abdominal hemorrhage after liver transplantation. Methods Clinical data of 82 patients undergoing liver transplantation were retrospectively analyzed. All participants were divided into the intra-abdominal hemorrhage (n =12)and control groups (n =70). Preoperative parameters including age,model for end-stage liver disease (MELD)score,prothrombin time (PT),prothrombin time international normalized ratio (PT-INR),fibrinogen (FIB),activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT),platelet (Plt) were statistically compared between two groups. Intraoperative hemorrhage volume,cold ischemia time of donor liver, anhepatic phase time and operation time were also compared between two groups. Postoperatively,the mortality rate was compared between two groups. Results Among 82 patients,1 2 (1 5%)presented with intra-abdominal hemorrhage and required twice surgical hemostasis. In the intra-abdominal hemorrhage group,4 cases (33%)died,and 8 (1 1%)died in the control group. No statistical significance was documented between two groups (P>0. 05 ). Age,MELD score,PT-INR, FIB,APTT and PLT did not significantly differ between two groups (all P>0. 05 ). Compared with patients in the control group,those in the intra-abdominal hemorrhage group yielded significantly more blood loss intraoperatively,longer operation time and longer cold ischemia time of donor liver (all P<0. 05 ). Anhepatic phase time did not significantly differ between two groups (P>0. 05 ). Conclusions After liver transplantation,intra-abdominal hemorrhage is associated with longer cold ischemia time of donor liver,more intraoperative blood loss and longer operation time. In order to decrease the incidence of postoperative intra-abdominal hemorrhage,coagulation function should be completely corrected prior to surgery and the surgical skills should also be enhanced.

Objective To summarize the treatment experience of sepsis after liver transplantation.Methods The clinical features and treatment methods of 1 patient developing sepsis after liver transplantation, who was admitted and treated in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University in September 201 4,were retrospectively studied.The interpretation of International Guidelines for Management of Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock (SSC Guidelines)and relevant literature were reviewed.Results One male patient at the age of 50 years old developed high fever and decrease of blood pressure at 1 d after liver transplantation,and was diagnosed as septic shock.The symptoms were relieved after the appropriate treatment like goal-directed fluid resuscitation,anti-infection and blood purification,etc.And the patient was discharged in stable conditions.Conclusions It is easy to develop infection after liver transplantation and the fatality rate of sepsis caused by infection is high.Once the sepsis occurs,clinicians must perform early goal-directed therapy and bundle therapy according to the SSC Guidelines positively,and select the appropriate drugs according to the pathogen culture results in order to reduce the fatality rate.

OBJECTIVETo study long-term effect on renal function exposed to environmental cadmium.

METHODSStratified random sampling and cluster sampling method of epidemiological investigations were carried out in northern Guangdong province between April, 2011 and August, 2012. A total of 167 residents who lived in high cadmium exposure area for more than 15 years, aged above 40 were selected in exposed group. Moreover, A total of 145 residents who had similar living and economic conditions and lived in local for more than 15 years, aged above 40 were selected in control group. We used health questionnaires and medical examinations in order to acquire their health status. Home-harvested rice and vegetables were collected using quartering method for detection of cadmium level. Urine specimens of residents were collected for detection of cadmium level and creatinine as well as renal dysfunction biomarkers, namely, N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosamidase (NAG), β2-microglobulin (β2-MG), and retinol binding protein(RBP), respectively. The analysis of spearman rank correlation and multiple regression were used to investigate the relationships between age, urinary cadmium levels and renal injury biomarkers.

RESULTSThe cadmium levels in rice and vegetables of exposed group were 0.75 and 0.10 mg/kg, both were significantly higher than 0.07 and 0.01 mg/kg in the control group (Z values were -6.32 and -7.84, all P values < 0.001). The urinary cadmium level of exposed group was 8.29 µg/g · cr, which was higher than that of the control group 2.03 µg/g · cr with significant difference (Z value was -11.39, P < 0.001). After stratified the total population by age, the urinary cadmium level in 40-49 years, 50-59 years and ≥ 60 years subgroups were 7.22, 8.71, and 13.10 µg/g · cr, which both were significantly higher than 1.80, 2.04, and 2.05 µg/g · cr in the control group (Z values were -5.22, -7.41, and -7.14, all P values < 0.001). After stratified the total population by gender, the urinary cadmium level of male and female were 5.12 and 12.36 µg/g · cr, which both were significantly higher than 1.79 and 2.16 µg/g · cr in the control group (Z values were -7.68 and -9.03, all P values < 0.001). Comparing the differences of renal dysfunction biomarkers (NAG, β2-MG, RBP) between two groups. The level of urinary β2-MG and RBP of exposed group were 0.21 and 0.04 µg/g · cr, which were higher than 0.05 and 0.00 µg/g · cr of the control group with significant difference (Z value was -7.08 and -9.65, all P values < 0.001). Pearson correlation analysis showed that NAG, β2-MG and RBP were positively correlated with urinary cadmium and age, the correlation coefficients were 0.57, 0.49, 0.21 and 0.22, 0.26, 0.23 respectively (all P values < 0.001). After adjusting the effect of age, it was appeared that urinary cadmium levels contributed most to the alteration of NAG, β2-MG and RBP, the standardized regression coefficients were 0.57, 0.49 and 0.20 (all P values < 0.001), and suggested that the cadmium body burden was one of the most important factors for renal dysfunction.

CONCLUSIONResidents, who had cadmium contaminated rice and vegetables for a long time, would take the risk of increasing body burden of cadmium and urinary early biomarkers of renal tubular injury that referred to occurrence of renal dysfunction.

Objective:To compare oxytocin combined with ergometrine with oxytocin alone in terms of primary prophylaxis for postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) at the time of cesarean section (CS).Methods:This was a multicenter double-blind randomized controlled interventional study comparing ergometrine combined with oxytocin and oxytocin alone administered at CS. From December 2018 to November 2019, a total of 298 parturients were enrolled in 16 hospitals nationwide. They were randomly divided into experimental group (ergometrine intra-myometrial injection following oxytocin intravenously; 148 cases) and control group (oxytocin intra-myometrial injection following oxytocin intravenously; 150 cases) according to 1∶1 random allocation. The following indexes were compared between the two groups: (1) main index: blood loss 2 hours (h) after delivery; (2) secondary indicators: postpartum blood loss at 6 h and 24 h, placental retention time, incidence of PPH, the proportion of additional use of uterine contraction drugs, hemostatic drugs or other hemostatic measures at 2 h and 24 h after delivery, the proportion requiring blood transfusion, and the proportion of prolonged hospital stay due to poor uterine involution; (3) safety indicators: nausea, vomiting, dizziness and other adverse reactions, and blood pressure at each time point of administration.Results:(1) The blood loss at 2 h after delivery in the experimental group [(402±18) ml] was less than that in the control group [(505±18) ml], and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). (2) The blood loss at 6 h and 24 h after delivery in the experimental group were less than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in the incidence of PPH, the proportion of additional use of uterine contraction drugs, hemostatic drugs or other hemostatic measures at 2 h and 24 h after delivery, the proportion requiring blood transfusion, and the proportion of prolonged hospital stay due to poor uterine involution (all P>0.05). (3) Adverse reactions occurred in 2 cases (1.4%, 2/148) in the experimental group and 1 case (0.7%, 1/150) in the control group. There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). The systolic blood pressure within 2.0 h and diastolic blood pressure within 1.5 h of drug administration in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05), but the blood pressure of the two groups were in the normal range. Conclusion:The use of ergometrine injection in CS could reduce the amount of PPH, which is safe and feasible.
