Objective: To evaluate the relationship between the levels of serum uric acid (SUA) and prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) by Meta analysis. Methods: We searched the databases of Pub Med, Elsevier and Web of Science for internationally published cohort study for the relationship between SUA levels and CAD prevalence and conducted a general analysisby using Stata software. Results: A total of 11 cohort study including 463,918 subjects were enrolled in this study. For both male and female genders, increase SUA level was the risk factor for CAD occurrence (RR=1.11, 95% CI 1.00-1.24) and (RR=1.24, 95% CI 1.15-1.34). Dose-response Meta-analysis indicated that by 1 mg/dl SUA elevation, the risk of CAD occurrence would increase 4.8% in male and 12.4% in female, the risk in female gender was higher than male. Conclusion: SUA level has been closely related to CAD prevalence.

Objective To present clinical results of endovascular treatment of total iliac vein occlusions and to discuss the technique details of this treatment. Methods From Feb 2006 to Aug 2010,15 patients with chronic total occlusive lesions of the iliac vein and adjacent vein segments underwent endovascular treatment. Average age was (62 ±7) years (range 35 to 81 years), the male/female ratio was 12: 3. Clinical score of CEAP was grade 3 in 33. 3%, grade 4 in 40%, grade 5 in 13. 3%, and grade 6 in 13.3%. Venography showed left iliac vein was occluded in all 15 patients, common femoral vein was occluded in 14 patients, and superior femoral vein was occluded in 9 patients, however profounder femoral vein was patent in these patients with superior femoral vein being occluded. Results No postoperative major morbidity or mortality was seen. The technique success rate was 93. 3%. Treatment failure was caused in one case for a wrong selection of the femoral vein approach site. The average length of stent was 18. 4 cm.In 12(80. 0% ) stents crossed the inguinal ligament. The average follow-up time was 11.6 ± 2. 4 months.The primary patency rates of the stents at 6 months were 92. 9%. 10 (66. 7% ) patients were asympotomatic, 3(20% )were improved, 1 (6. 7% ) was unchanged, and 1 (6.7%) was worse, compared to before intervention. Conclusions Endovscular recanalization and stent placement is a safe and effective treatment for chronic total occluded iliac veins, with good patency, significant symptom resolution, and minimal morbidity in the short term follow-up.

Objective To develop the Dissociative Trait Scale(DTS),and examine its reliability and validity. Methods Based on literature and research work,a preliminary questionnaire was designed to measure dissociative trait. 1306 college students completed the DTS and Symptom Checklist 90(SCL-90).

Objective To explore the predictive value of short term cognitive assessment in the acute phase of ischemic stroke for 3-6 months after stroke.Methods The demographic data,vascular risk factors,clinical and imaging data of 254 patients with acute ischemic stroke from August 2016 to December 2017 were prospectively registered.The cognitive function was assessed by Mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) 3 weeks after stroke onset.Comprehensive cognitive function assessment was performed after 3-6 months of stroke.Multiple factor Logistic regression was used to screen the independent risk factors of cognitive domain and overall cognitive function in 3-6 months.Results Totally 254 consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled.Combined with the inclusion and exclusion criteria,161 patients completed the baseline cognitive assessment,and 138 completed the comprehensive cognitive assessment in 3-6 months after stroke.Logistic regression analysis showed that 3 weeks baseline cognitive status was an independent factor affecting memory (P＜0.05,OR =62.47,95％CI=13.00-205.00),execution (P＜0.05,OR=38.29,95％CI=8.00-170.00),language (P＜0.05,OR=6.46,95％CI=2.31-18.04) and information processing speed (P＜0.05,OR=5.88,95％CI=2.24-15.41) in 3-6 months after stroke.According to the number of impaired cognitive domains,the overall cognitive function was defined.There were 61 cases of no or mild cognitive dysfunction group and 77 cases of moderate or severe cognitive impairment group.Multifactor logistic analysis showed that baseline cognitive status was independent of the overall cognitive function of 3-6 months after apoplexy adjusting for the age and education level (P＜0.05,OR=25.32,95％ CI =7.52-85.39).Conclusion Short cognitive assessment in early apoplexy can predict the short-term functional status of cognitive domains such as memory,execution,language and information processing speed after stroke,and can also predict the overall cognitive level.

Objective:To explore the relationship between expression levels of CLOCK mRNA and protein and the clinical characteristics of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods:The frozen tissue specimens from 33 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma in the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from 2018 to 2019 were collected. Seventeen cases of tissue specimens from patients with nasopharyngeal chronic inflammation in the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University in 2019 were collected. From 2008 to 2014, 68 cases of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedding (FFPE) nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissue and 37 cases of FFPE nasopharyngeal chronic inflammation tissue were collected from the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Guizhou Medical University. Real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blot (WB) were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression levels of CLOCK. The nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells including CNE1, CNE2, 5-8F and the normal nasopharyngeal epithelial cell NP69 were cultured. qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression level of CLOCK mRNA in each cell line at the time points of ZT2, ZT6, ZT10, ZT14, ZT18 and ZT22. The cosine method was used to fit the rhythm of CLOCK gene in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The protein expression of CLOCK protein was detected by using immunohistochemical method in 68 cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and 37 cases of nasopharyngeal chronic inflammation tissue. Survival was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method and Log rank test, and the influencing factors was analyzed by Cox regression model.Results:The expression levels of CLOCK mRNA in CNE1, CNE2 and 5-8F cells (0.63±0.07, 0.91±0.02 and 0.33±0.04, respectively) were lower than that in NP69 cell (1.00±0.00, P<0.05). The expression levels of CLOCK protein in CNE1, CNE2 and 5-8F cells (0.79±0.06, 0.57±0.05 and 0.74±0.10, respectively) were lower than that of NP69 cells (1.00±0.00, P<0.05). The expressions of CLOCK mRNA in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells including CEN1, CNE2, 5-8F and normal nasopharyngeal epithelial cell NP69 were different at different time points, with temporal fluctuations. The fluctuation periods of CLOCK mRNA in CNE1, CNE2, 5-8F, and NP69 cells were 16, 14, 22 and 24 hours, respectively. The peak and trough times were ZT10: 40 and ZT18: 40, ZT10 and ZT3, ZT14: 30 and ZT3: 30, ZT12: 39 and ZT0: 39, respectively. CLOCK mRNA and protein expression levels in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues (0.37±0.20 and 0.20±0.26, respectively) were lower than those in nasopharyngeal chronic inflammation tissues (1.00±0.00 and 0.51±0.41, respectively, P<0.05). The 1, 3, and 5-year survival rates of patients in the CLOCK protein high expression group (CLOCK protein expression level ≥ 0.178) were 96.2%, 92.1%, and 80.1%, respectively, which were higher than those in the low expression group (CLOCK protein expression level <0.178, 92.9% , 78.6% and 57.1%, respectively, P=0.009). The 1, 3, and 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates of patients in the CLOCK protein high expression group were 96.2%, 87.8%, and 87.7%, respectively, which were higher than those in the low expression group (92.7%, 82.2%, and 70.8%, respectively, P=0.105). Compared with the low-expression group (100.0%, 96.9%, and 90.0%, respectively), the 1, 3, and 5-year recurrence-free survival rates of patients in the CLOCK protein high expression group (100.0%, 95.7%, and 95.7%, respectively) were not statistically significant ( P=0.514). Compared with the low-expression group (92.7%, 82.2%, and 79.3%), the 1, 3, and 5-year survival rates without metastasis in the CLOCK protein high expression group (96.2%, 92.0%, and 92.0%, respectively) were not statistically significant ( P=0.136). CLOCK protein expression and T stage were independent prognostic factors of overall survival ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The expression of CLCOK is downregulated in the nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell and nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues. Clock gene CLOCK is rhythmically expressed in the nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells and normal nasopharyngeal epithelial cells. Compared with normal nasopharyngeal epithelial cells, the fluctuation period of CLOCK in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells is shortened. The overall survival of patients in the CLOCK protein high expression group is better than that of low expression group. The expression of CLOCK protein is an independent influencing factor for overall survival. CLOCK gene may be a potential tumor suppressor gene in the nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
