Objective To study the influence of dietary test designed by Nutritional Department of Henan Provincial People's Hospital on diabetic inpatients' dietary cognition. Methods A total of 134 diabetic inpatients were selected and tested with standard diabetic meaL Self-reporting of oil, salt, staple food, vegetables and meat intake was evaluated. Nonparametric tests were used for statistical analysis. Results There were significant differences in self-reporting of oil,salt,staple food and meat intake between pre and post test (Z= -4.642, -8.700, -2.218, -5. 528,all P<0.05) ; however,no significant change of self reporting vegetable intake was found ( Z = - 1. 385, P > 0. 05 ). Conclusion Dietary test can significantly change patients' cognition about their daily dietary intake.

Objective To study the effect of labeling esophageal carcinoma with sliver clips on two sides by esophagoscopy in mapping the target for conformal radiotherapy (CRT). Methods Eighty patients with esophageal carcinoma (28 patients in early stage, 52 patients in late stage), who were eligible for CRT, were collected and the tumor volume was detected by three methods: CT (A),CT combined with X-ray (B) and CT combined with sliver clip labeling by esophagoscopy (C). The differences of the tumor length and position in head-foot site (Y-axsis) among three methods were compared. Results The comparison of average length of tumor in early stage patients showed significant difference among three methods in all types of tumor (F= 4.07 ～ 7.43, P＜0.05 ) except papillary type (F= 1. 71, P＞0. 05). There was difference (ranged from 0. 5 cm to 2. 0 cm) in detection of position in head-foot site between A and B methods and C method. Significant difference was found in determining the displacement on head-foot site among three methods (F = 34. 36 ～193.50,P ＜0.01). The comparison of average length of tumor in middle or terminal stage patients showed significant difference among three methods in all types of tumor (F=4. 07～30.10 ,P＜0.05) except mushroom type (F = 2.44, P＞ 0. 05). Significant difference was found in determining the displacement on head-foot site among three methods (F= 12.00 ～ 21.16, P ＜ 0. 01 ). Conclusion These findings indicate that C method is more sensitive and correct in mapping the target for CRT in comparison with other two methods.

Objective To determine and compare the levels of serum matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 in acute stage of cerebral infarction and the relationship and prognosis between them and the classification of TOAST. Methods The levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were detected by ELISA in 60 cerebral infarction patients(CI group)while 30 healthy donors were served as control group (NC group).Results The level of MMP-2 in CI group was significantly lower than that in NC group (P＜0.01) and the level of MMP-9 was significantly higher than that in NC group (P＜0.01).Compared with lacunar infarction (LI) group,the level of MMP-9 was significantly higher in cardiogenic cerebral embolism group(CCE group) and large artery arteriosclerosis cerebral infarction group (LAA group);The serum level of MMP-9 was related to NIHSS.The serum level of MMP-9 in good prognosis patients was significantly lower than that in poor prognosis patients (P＜0.01).Conclusions The serum level of MMP-9 is increased after cerebral infarction.The serum level of MMP-9 in the CCE group and LAA group is significantly higher than that in LI group.The level of MMP-9 is a reliable parameter in evaluating the disabilities in cerebral infarction.The level of serum MMP-9 within 24 hours of onset can predict the prognosis of cerebral infarction independently.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of heart-regulating and mind-calming acupuncture on the expression of gap junction protein connexin43 (Cx43) in myocardial cells in a rabbit model of ventricular arrhythmia.MethodA rabbit model of ventricular arrhythmia was made by injecting barium chloride into the marginal ear vein. Forty New Zealand rabbits were randomized into control, model, acupuncture and medication groups. The acupuncture group received heart-regulating and mind-calming acupuncture[at Lingtai(GV10), Shendao(GV11), bilateral Neiguan(PC6)and Baihui(GV20)]and the medication group, oral gavage of propafenone. Rabbit left ventricle was taken after the completion of the experiment. Cx43 expressions were compared and analyzed usingan immunohistochemical staining technique and a computer image processing system.ResultCx43 expression decreased significantly in the model group compared with the control group (P<0.01) and increased in the acupuncture and medication groups compared with the model group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in Cx43 expression between the acupuncture and medication groups (P>0.05).Conclusion Adjusting Cx43 expression in myocardial cells may be one of the target points for this acupuncture treatment of arrhythmia.

Objcetive To investigate the protective effects of the nitroxides R-1 on human liver cells exposed to ionizing radiation.Methods Human liver cells L-02 were cultured and irradiated with 60Co γ-rays at the doses of 0,1,2,4,and 8 Gy,in order to screen the proper irradiation dose.WR2721 at the terminal concentration of 4 mmol/L was used as positive control.L-02 cells irradiated with 4 Gy were added with R-1 at the terminal concentration of 0.25 μmol/L at 30 min before irradiation or immediately after irradiation.MIT method was used to screen the proper conditions for follow-up experiment 72 h later.L-02 cell culture fluid was added with R-1 at the concentrations of 0,0.125,0.25,0.5,and 1 μmol/L,respectively for 30 min before irradiation at the doses of 0,1,2,4,and 8 Gy to ealculate clone formation rate at 10 d post-irradiation.L-02 cells were cultured and divided into 4 groups:control group without any treatment.drug group pretreated by 0.25 μmol/L R-1 only,irradiation group,irradiated at 4 Gy only,and drug + irradiation group with combination of 0.25 μmol/L R-01 and 4 Gy irradiation.The inverted microscopy and Hoechst 33258 staining and flow eytometry were used to observe the apoptosis of the cells at 24,48,and 72 h later.Results Nitroxides R-1 did not inhibit the viability of L-02 cell when its concentration was less than 1 μmol/L and it inhibited the L-02 cell growth when the concentration wu higher than 2 μmoL/L.The A value and colony formation rate of different concentration of R-1 groups were all higher than those of the irradiation group,and the effect of the 0.25 μmol/L drug concentration group was the most significant.Consequently,the concentration 0.25 μmoL/L was selected for follow-up experiment.Compared with the irradiation group,the L-02 cells of the pretreatment group showed solid adherence, increased refraction,clear outline,less apoptotic and dead cells at 4 Gy post-irradiation.Conclusions Nitroxides R-1 can protect the human liver cells from 60Coγ-ray induced injury effectively.The mechanism of its protective effect may be the reduction of apoptosis.

BACKGROUND:There are more literature reports about the floating shoulder injury in recent years, but there stil have obvious controversies about the treatment of the floating shoulder injury. Whether choose the conservative treatment or operative treatment is an important issue in face of every clinician. OBJECTIVE:To review the clinical features and present treatment situation of the floating shoulder injury. METHODS: A computer-based online search was performed in the PubMed and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure database for the clinical research papers on the treatment methods of the floating shoulder injury from January 1975 to August 2015. The key words were floating shoulder injury, diagnose, treatment method. The articles published earlier and repetitive researches were excluded. Finaly, 33 articles were included for further analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Floating shoulder injury is a kind of severe shoulder injury which is caused by high energy and violence. It is often complicated with severe systemic injury, which should be paid more attention in clinic. (2) The treatment of floating shoulder injury has been controversial, and there is no standard treatment guideline. Conservative treatment and operative treatment can get good outcomes. There are less reports about conservative treatment of the floating shoulder injury in recent years. The outcome of operative treatment may better than conservative treatment. (3) Conservative or simple clavicle fixation can be used for fractures without displacement or with smal displacement. Obviously displaced fractures can be treated with simple clavicle fixation or double fixation of clavicle and scapula, which may have good repair effects.

Objective: To detect the mutation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene in peripheral blood of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients in Yunnan area with Super-ARMS, and to explore its correlation with clinicopathological characteristics. Methods: A total of 222 blood samples from patients with NSCLC were collected between January 2017 to December 2018 in the Molecular Diagnostic Center of Yunnan Cancer Hospital. The EGFR gene mutation in peripheral blood samples was detected by SuperARMS, and the relationship between EGFR gene mutation and clinicopathological features was analyzed. Meanwhile, the independent risk factors influencing EFGR mutation were also analyzed. Results: In the peripheral blood of 222 NSCLC patients, there were 81 cases (36.5%) with EGFR gene mutation. Among them, exon 19 deletion and L858R gene point mutation were the most common (75.3% of total mutation); female patients had a higher mutation rate than male patients (45.9% vs 27.0%); patients <60 years old had a higher incidence of mutation than patients≥60 years old (43.2% vs 28.8%) (P<0.05 or P<0.01); moreover, patients with no history of smoking, no history of radical surgery, adenocarcinoma, advanced stage and no history of chemotherapy had higher incidence of EGFR mutation (43.9% vs 21.6%, 39.2% vs 21.2%, 43.9% vs 4.8%, 39.7% vs 23.3% and 44.0% vs 23.5%) (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that young, no smoking history, adenocarcinoma and no surgical history were independent risk factors for EGFR gene mutation (all P<0.01). Conclusion: In the peripheral blood of patients with NSCLC in Yunnan, the mutation rate of EGFR gene is higher in patients with age<60 years old, adenocarcinoma and non-smoking. Super-ARMS method is more sensitive in the detection of EGFR mutation in peripheral blood of lung cancer patients.

Objective To investigate whether C-reactive protein (CRP) and neutrophil/lymphocyte ration (NLR) can predict the infection complications and predict the short-term survival rate of patients with cirrhosis.Methods Data of 208 patients with liver cirrhosis from March 2013 to March 2016 were analyzed retrospectively.The effects of CRP concentration,NLR and other clinical factors on the infection and one-month survival rate of patients with liver cirrhosis were analyzed.Results Sixty-five patients with dominant infection during hospitalization were used as the infected group,while the other 143 patients were selected as uninfected group.The levels of CRP and NLR in the infected group were significantly higher than those in the uninfected group (CRP:t =16.216,P =0.003;NLR:t =7.211,P =0.025).The results of univariate analysis showed that age,female,non-alcoholic cirrhosis,systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS),high level of CRP,and high NLR value were important risk factors of infection in cirrhotic patients.In multivariate analysis,female,high level of CRP,and high NLR value were the independent predictor of infection in patients with cirrhosis.Univariate analysis showed that NLR,model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score,and WBC count were important predictors of 1-month survival.Multivariate analysis showed that high NLR was an independent predictor of one-month survival in Child Pugh C patients.Conclusions CRP level and NLR value may be an effective diagnostic marker in patients with liver cirrhosis.The high NLR value in patients with Child-Pugh C is an independent risk factor for poor short survival.

Objective To investigate the incidence and predictors of cerebral infarction in patients with ruptured ACoA aneurysms, and to provide diagnostic and therapeutic information.Methods A total of 319 patients with ruptured ACoA aneurysms in our hospital from January 2009 to February 2015 were reviewed in this study. The author collected data regarding clinical characteristics, and measured the aneurysm morphologies on CTA images. Age, flow angle, vessel angle were analyzed by independent-samples t tests in patients with or without cerebral infarction. Mann-Whitney U tests were used for aneurysm size, aneurysm height, perpendicular height, neck size, size ratio, aspect ratio, aneurysm angle , World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) grade at admission and Fisher grade. Chi-square tests and Fisher's exact tests were used for sex, histories of hypertension, smoking and stroke, treatment modalities, anterior cerebral A1 segment configuration and angiographic vasospasm on CTA images. The multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine the independent risk factors of cerebral infarction using the stepwise regression method. Results Of the 319 patients, there were 253 without and 66 patients with cerebral infarction. Differences of age(53±11 vs 57±12,respectively;t=-2.415, P=0.016), Fisher grade [Ⅰ 23(9.1%), Ⅱ 27(10.7%), Ⅲ 74(29.2%), Ⅳ 129(51.0%) vs Ⅰ 1(1.5%), Ⅱ 7 (10.6% ), Ⅲ 13(19.7% ), Ⅳ 45(68.2% ), respectively;Z=-2.541, P=0.035] and treatment modalities [endovascular coil embolization 155(61.3% ), neurosurgical clipping 98(38.7% ) vs endovascular coil embolization 23(34.8%), neurosurgical clipping 43(65.2%), respectively;χ2=14.810, P<0.001] reached statistical significance. Multivariate analysis showed that Fisher grade Ⅳ(OR=10.36,95%CI 1.34-80.29, P=0.025) and neurosurgical clipping (OR=3.28, 95% CI 1.84-5.86,P<0.001)still had statistical significance. Conclusions Cerebral infarction in patients with ruptured ACoA aneurysms may be associated with Fisher grade and treatment modalities. Although there is difference between the two groups in age, it is not a predictor of the occurrence of cerebral infarction.
