Objective To examine whether ethanol modulates the intracellular processes involved in the secretion of IL-1α,and then exert a protective effect against coronary heart disease. Methods THP-1 cells in human were cultured for 2-3 generations , and put in PMF for 72 h to induce THP-1 into macrophage. ELISA was applied to detect effects for secretion of IL-1α by LPS, cholesterol and ethanol. In the light of ELISA re-sults, western blot was applied to detect the effects of ethanol on caspase-1 and NLRP3. Results Compared with the control group, the secretion of IL-1α in LPS group and LPS + CHOL group increased. Compared withLPS + CHOL group, the concentration of IL -1α in LPS + CHOL + etha group significantly decrease(P < 0.01). The results of western blot showed that ethanol significantly inhibited caspase-1 and NLRP3 activation. Conclu-sion Ethanol can inhibit the NLRP3 inflammasome activation in macrophages , which may represent a biological pathway underlying the protective effect of moderate alcohol consumption on coronary heart disease.

BACKGROUND:The aid treatment of aphasia is mainly achieved through computer training system, and the applied software of the market at present is mainly Chinese aphasia training system software. The software for a native Uighur aphasia patient does not apply and no research of Uygur language aphasia training software has been reported. OBJECTIVE:To design a clinic oriented training software for Uighur aphasia, based on training specifications of rehabilitative therapist in the treatment of Uighur aphasia patients. METHODS:The experiment was conducted from January 2013 to December 2013 in South and North areas of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, deeply researching the common and familiar life material of the Uyghur’s and combining the life custom of the Uyghur’s, to screen the relevant materials of the speech rehabilitation training, preliminary build up the living language material database of the Uyghur’s. Basing on this database, we designed the computer-assisted application software which has the Uygur and Chinese double interface. The software is designed by the software research and development personnel in accordance with the requirements of the members of our group, with Uygur and Chinese double interface speech rehabilitation training software. 30 Uygur aphasiac patients after stroke in Xinjiang were screened for clinical trials and evaluation, the software after many corrections, detailed recorded the valuable dates and the problems existing in the experimental stage. And we constantly communicate with the software designers so as to repeatedly revise the wrong in the process of training, and eventualy developing a set of basic mature Uygur language aphasia and training software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A set of basic mature Uygur aphasia training software was designed. With the research and development of the Uighur aphasia training software, speech therapists of Xinjiang get a fuly functional, easy operation, flexible extension training tool, which help to reduce the workload of speech therapists and improve the clinical efficiency.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of postpartum depression among female immigrants at Tianhe district of Guangzhou. Methods A total of 2021 migrant women postpartum in three hospitals at Tianhe district of Guangzhou were screened with Center for Epidemiological Survey Depression Scale , (CES-D), Social Support Rating Scale(SSRS) and self-made related factors questionnaire from May to December, 2013. Results This study showed postpartum depression affected 18.31% of migrant women at Tianhe district of Guangzhou. Unconditional logistic regression analysis showed a significant correlation of PPD with birth place , residence time,newborn disease,fetus gender and household income (P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified birth place,residence time,newborn disease,fetus gender as the risk factors for PPD,household income was negatively correlated with the incidence of PPD with OR value of 0.680;Compared with healthy female immigrants, the total score of social support rating scale,the score of objective support,subjective support and social utilization degree were significantly reduced respectively in female immigrants with PPD. Conclusion The prevalence of PPD was high at Tianhe district of Guangzhou,health education and comprehensive social support system should be offered in order to prevent PPD.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical pathologic characteristics of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade III (CINIII ) and to explore optimal surgery for CINIII patients. METHODS: The clinical pathologic characteristics, surgical treatments, prognosis and history of 383 CINIII patients, who hospitalized from August 2005 to December 2010, were reviewed and analyzed. Among the patients, 213 (55.6%) received cold-knife conization surgery and 170 (44.4%) received ordinary electric knife conization surgery. RESULTS: There was no significant statistic difference between cold-knife conization group and ordinary electric-knife conization group on the level of clearance of the pathologic tissues and the cervical cone diameter and cone high. Intraoperative blood loss was (13.1±5.2) mL and (25.5±17.2) mL. Bleeding of electric knife conization group, compared with that of the cold knife conization group, decreased by nearly 50%. The difference between the 2 groups was significant (P<0.01). Pathological examination after conization operation indicated that 350 out of the 383 patients didn't show pathological upgrade while 33 patients showed pathological development, among which 21 were diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer at Ia1 clincal stage, 7 atIa2 clincal stage and 5 atIb1 clincal stage. In 3 cases (14.3%) Ia1 cervical cancer patients, fertility requirements and negative margins with cervical conization were closely followed up, and one patient (4.8%) with positive margin and fertility requirements had re-conecut. The remaining 17 (80.9%) had resected the uterus outside the fascia (or plus attachments) . All the 12 patients with invasive cervical cancer at Ia2 orIb1 clinical stage received radical hysterectomy. No tumor recurrence was observed in the 383 patients. CONCLUSION Treatment optimazation of CINIII patients should be based on clinical pathological diagnosis and individual requirements. Both cervical conization surgery and total hysterectomy have been proved safe and practical for CINIII patients.

Background Affected by concentration, composition, and population tolerance of air pollutants, the relationship between air pollutants and population health has regional differences. There is still a research gap in Guiyang. Objective To explore the short-term effects of air pollutant concentrations in low-pollution areas on the outpatient volume of respiratory diseases. Methods Spearman correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between air pollutants, meteorological factors, and respiratory outpatient volume from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2020 in Guiyang City. A single pollutant distribution lag nonlinear model and a multi-pollutant interaction model were established based on Poisson distribution. A three-dimensional diagram was drawn to display the relationship between air pollutants and respiratory outpatient volume. Quantitative analysis was conducted on the attribution risk and lag effect of air pollutant concentration on outpatient volume of respiratory diseases in Guiyang City. Results The results of the single pollutant model showed that fine particulate matter (PM_2.5), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), carbon monoxide (CO), and sulfur dioxide (SO₂) elevated the outpatient volume of respiratory diseases. The maximum relative risk (RR) and 95%CI values of PM_2.5, NO₂,CO, and SO₂ appeared on Day 2, 0, 5, and 6, respectively, which were 1.019 (1.015, 1.023), 1.146 (1.122, 1.171), 1.129 (1.116, 1.143), and 1.046(1.040, 1.052), respectively. For every quartile concentration increment of PM_2.5, NO₂, CO, or SO₂, the outpatient volume of respiratory diseases increased by 0.943% (0.111%, 1.782%), 4.050% (3.573%, 4.529%), 0.595% (0.317%, 0.874%), or 0.667% (0.235%, 1.100%), respectively. The maximum RR (95%CI) of O₃ was 1.015 (1.007, 1.023) and appeared on Day 0. The results of multi-pollutant model showed that PM_2.5, NO₂, CO, SO₂, and O₃ all elevated the outpatient volume of respiratory diseases. The maximum RR values of PM_2.5, NO₂, CO, SO₂ and O₃ appeared on Day 14, 0, 5, 7 and 0, respectively, which were 1.027 (1.021, 1.034), 1.213 (1.179, 1.248), 1.059 (1.043, 1.074), 1.016 (1.005, 1.026), and 1.024 (1.015, 1.033), respectively. Compared with the single pollutant model, the RR values of PM_2.5, NO₂, and O₃ on the outpatient volume of respiratory diseases in the multi-pollutant model showed an upward trend, while the RR values of CO and SO₂ in the multi-pollutant model showed a downward trend. Conclusion The impact of low concentrations of PM_2.5, NO₂, CO, and SO₂ on human health cannot be ignored.
