PubMed,Embase,Cochrane Library,and ISI web were searched without any limitations with regard to publication date or language,as well as the references of qualifying articles.All kinds of cohort studies comprising the risk of gastric cancer between diabetic patients and control subjects were included.We excluded studies that investigated only mortality but not incidence.25 studies met our criteria,and the qualities of these studies were evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale.Statistical analyses were carried out with STATA software version 12.0.A random-effects model meta-analysis showed an increased risk of gastric cancer in diabetic patients (RR =1.20,95 % CI 1.12-1.28).Subgroup analyses indicated that this result persisted in studies of both male(RR =1.15,95% CI 1.02-1.29) and female (RR =1.29,95% CI 1.09-1.53) subjects,in studies of European countries(RR =1.25,95% CI 1.07-1.46) and Asia countries (RR =1.18,95% CI 1.09-1.28).Compared with nondiabetics,the incidence of gastric cancer may be increased by approximately 20% in diabetics.Thus diabetes may be an independent risk factor for gastric cancer.This effect tends to be more significant in type 1 and female patients.

Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2019;26(1):86-90
Objective To investigate the drug resistance of pseudomonas aeruginosa changes in the Sixth Hospital of Ningbo, Zhejiang province, in order to provide a basis for clinical rational use of antimicrobial drugs. Methods The clinical distribution and drug resistance to commonly used antimicrobial agents in 1970 strains of pseudomonas aeruginosa from the Sixth Hospital of Ningbo in 2014 -2016 were retrospectively analyzed. The data were statistically analyzed using WHONET 5. 6 software, excel software, SPSS17. 0 software. Results Clinical specimens isolated 15 963 strains of pathogenic bacteria,including 1 970 strains pseudomonas aeruginosa,accounted for 12. 34% . The detection rate of multi-drug resistance pseudomonas aeruginosa( MDRPA) reduced year by year, the detection rate in 2014 was 60. 95% ,which in 2015 was 58. 00% ,which in 2016 was 45. 58% . Pseudomonas aeruginosa was mainly isolated from sputum(67. 16% ),followed by wound secretion(23. 05% ). The detection rate of pseudomonas aeruginosa in ICU and geriatric department was higher,accounted for 20. 25% and 25. 28% respectively. The resistance of pseudomonas aeruginosa to many kinds of antimicrobial agents was increased from 2014 to 2016,the resistance rates to cefoperazone/ sulbactam were>30% in 3 years,the resistance rate to imipenem was higher than meropenem. The drug resistance of pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from sputum in ICU was higher than that in geriatric department(all P<0. 05). Conclusion Pseudomonas aeruginosa nosocomial infection in the Sixth Hospital of Ningbo is severe,the infection rate and drug resistance monitoring should be strengthened,in order to reduce the infection rate and drug resistance.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the efficacy and safety of telbivudine for blocking mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in pregnant women with high viremia.
METHODSA total of 128 pregnant women with high HBV load (HBV DNA ≥ 1.0*10⁷ copies/ml and positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)) were enrolled in the study from January 2009 to January 2013 and divided into the following three groups:group A (n=42) treated with telbivudine at 12 weeks of gestation until postpartum 12 weeks; group B (n=41) treated with telbivudine at 20 to 28 weeks of gestation until postpartum 12 weeks; group C (n=45; control group) with no telbivudine treatment.All study participants were given compound giyeyrrhizin for liver protection. All infants born to the women from the three groups were vaccinated with hepatitis B immunoglobulin (200 IU) and the HBV vaccine (20 tg) ager birth. The mother-to-infant transmission of HBV was indicated by the presence of HBsAg in infants at 7 months after birth.The maternal HBV DNA levels of the women in the three groups were statistically compared with the HBsAg positive rates in their neonates.
RESULTSThere were no significant differences in the HBV DNA levels between the three groups before treatment (P more than 0.05). The pre-delivery level of HBV DNA in group A (0.553 ± 1.588 log10 copies/ml) and in group B (0.486 ± 1.429 log10 copies/ml) was significantly decreased compared to that in group C (7.698 ± 0.255 log10 copies/ml) (both P < 0.01).The post-delivery (12 weeks) level of HBV DNA in group A (0.381 ± 1.116 log10 copies/ml) and in group B (0.335 ± 1.073 log10 copies/ml) was significantly decreased compared to that in group C (7.728 ± 0.277 log10 copies/ml) (both P < 0.01).There were no significant differences in the HBV DNA levels between group A and group B (P > 0.05). No infants in group A or group B were HBsAg-positive,while the HBsAg-positive rote was 17.4% in group C (P=0.012; P=0.015).
CONCLUSIONSTelbivudine treatment starting from the 12th week of gestation or from the 20-28th week of gestation can significantly decrease the serum HBV DNA level in peripheral blood of pregnant women with high viremia and reduce the infection rate of HBV in their neonates.

ObjectiveTo investigate the association of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1 alpha (PPARGC1A) rs8192678 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with the risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the influence of PPARGC1A rs8192678 SNP on NAFLD-related biochemical parameters. MethodsA total of 119 NAFLD patients who attended Qingdao Municipal Hospital Affiliated to Qingdao University from December 2017 to December 2018 were enrolled as NAFLD group, and 213 individuals who underwent physical examination during the same period of time were enrolled as control group. Clinical data and blood samples were collected from all subjects to measure related biochemical parameters and detect PPARGC1A rs8192678 SNP. The chi-square test was used to determine whether the genotype distribution of samples was in accordance with the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The t-test or the Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups, and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. A binary logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the risk factors for NAFLD. ResultsThere were no significant differences in the genotype and allele frequencies of PPARGC1A rs8192678 between the NAFLD group and the control group (χ2=0.011 and 0.015, P=0.918 and 0.904). The binary logistic regression analysis showed that CT genotype of PPARGC1A rs8192678 was not a risk factor for NAFLD (odds ratio=0.951, 95% confidence interval: 0.368-2.457, P=0.918). In the NAFLD group, the patients carrying CT genotype had a significantly higher level of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) than those carrying CC genotype (Z=-2.331, P=0.020). ConclusionPPARGC1A rs8192678 SNP does not increase the risk of NAFLD, while NAFLD patients carrying CT genotype tend to have a higher serum level of GGT.

OBJECTIVETo establish a comprehensive analytical method based on SPE-UPLC-MS for the simultaneous determination of bisphenol A (BPA), nonylphenol (NP), and octylphenol (OP) in urine samples.
METHODSSixty urine samples collected from healthy subjects were analyzed for BPA, NP, and OP concentrations. The samples were de-conjugated by adding β-glucuronidase and sulfatase. After the enzymatic treatment, the samples were subjected to the OASIS HLB column solid phase extraction cartridges so as to be cleaned and concentrated. The UPLC separation was performed on a Acquity UPLCTM BEH C18 column (2.1×100 mm, 1.7 μm) with a gradient elution system of methanol-water as the mobile phase. Triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry analyzer was used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of UPLC-MS/MS system.
RESULTSThe limit of detection of BPA, NP, and OP was 0.10, 0.10, and 0.15 ng/mL, respectively. The recoveries of BPA, NP and OP were 80.1%-108%, 81.3%-109%, and 81.5%-98.7%, respectively. Among the 60 urine samples, BPA was detected in 8 samples at the level of 0.297-32.7ng/mL, NP was detected in 29 samples at the level of 1.69-27.8 ng/mL, and OP was detected in 17 samples at the level of 0.407-11.1 ng/mL.
CONCLUSIONThe method is simple with high sensitivity and selectivity, and is suitable for the determination of BPA, NP, and OP in urine. As shown by our analysis, BPA, NP, and OP appear to be prevalent in human urine. This is particularly true for NP. The results from our study is therefore valuable for future studies to assess the exposure to BPA, NP, and OP in the general population.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of food allergy among children living in metropoli-ses aged 0-14 years. Methods In this cross-sectional study a questionnaire was distributed to parents taking care of children aged 0-14 years from China′s 31 metropolises to get the parents reported prevalence. Results A total of 337560 children aged 0-14 years participated in the survey. There are 19676 children reported with food aller-gy(5. 83%). In different regions,the parents reported prevalence of food allergy had significant difference(χ2 =657. 01,P<0. 001). It was highest in the eastern (7. 38%,5259) and the northeastern (7. 03%,2916) part of China,and was lowest in the northwestern part of China,which was 4. 35%. Of all the 31 surveyed metropolises, the parents reported prevalence of food allergy was highest in Qingdao,and lowest in Lhasa,which was 9. 11%(917/10066),and 2. 33% (116/4984)respectively. The prevalence of food allergy in males and females was 5. 87% and 5. 79% respectively,with no significant difference (χ2 =1. 078,P=0. 299). The prevalence of food allergy in preschool children (3-5 years old,6. 65%) was higher than other ages (χ2 =46. 469,P<0. 001). Of children reported to have food allergy,38. 5% had a history of eczema,23. 0% had a history of allergic rhinitis, and 37. 7% had a family history of allergic diseases. Conclusion The parents reported prevalence of food aller-gy among children 0-14 years old from 31 metropolises in China was 5. 83%. In different regions cities and a-ges,there′s significant difference of the reported prevalence. There′s no significant difference of parents reported prevalence between males and females. The study would have great significance in reflecting and evaluating the prevalence of food allergy among children.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the regulation of α-Tocopherol on NFκB and Nrf2 signaling pathway at early stage of N-nitrosomethylbenzylamine (NMBzA)-induced human esophageal carcinogenesis.
METHODSHuman normal esophageal HET-1A cells were treated with NMBzA at 50 µmol/L, 100 µmol/L for 24 h to intimate the initiation of esophageal carcinogenesis. For intervention groups, HET-1A cells were pre-treated with α-T at 25, 50, 100 µmol/L for 3 h and then co-treated with NMBzA (100 µmol/L) for 24 h. In comparison with HET-1A cells, human esophageal cancer EC109 cells were treated with α-T at corresponding concentrations. Cells treated with 0.1% DMSO were used as negative control. Immunofluorence staining was used for the determination of distribution and activation of NFκB p65 and Nrf2 in the cell. Real time PCR and Western blot were used to determine the expression levels of target genes including cyclinD1, KI67, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), cyclo-oxygen-ase 2 (COX2), 5LOX, HO-1, NQO1 and GCLC. Flow cytometry was utilized to analyze the reactive oxygen species contents in the cells.
RESULTSAs compared to the control group (1.00 ± 0.08), the expression of CyclinD1 (2.99 ± 0.15), KI67 (2.35 ± 0.38) and PCNA (2.46 ± 0.25) in HET-1A were all markedly increased by NMBzA treatment (F values were 97.23, 65.28, 34.62, P < 0.001). Also, the proportion of cells with nucleus translocation of NFκB p65 (71.0%, 98/138) or Nrf2 (36.3%, 49/135) were significantly increased (χ² values were 194.71, 133.72, P < 0.001), and the expression of COX2 (3.22 ± 0.17), 5LOX (2.87 ± 0.12) as well as HO-1 (1.87 ± 0.22), NQO1 (2.14 ± 0.08), GCLC (2.63 ± 0.41) at protein levels were elevated (F values were 72.35, 43.87, 69.23, 71.34, 85.79, P values were 0.013, 0.015, 0.010, 0.011, 0.002). Under the treatment with 50 µmol/L α-T, comparing with the control group(59.1%,65/110),the nuclear translocation of NFκB p65 (77.7%, 8/104) was clearly inhibited (χ² = 148.1, P < 0.001), and protein expression levels of COX2 (0.74 ± 0.19) and 5LOX (0.42 ± 0.13) were decreased (F values were 56.31, 73.25, P values were 0.003, 0.001). However, no changes on Nrf2 signaling pathway were observed; α-T showed little impact on NFκB or Nrf2 pathway in EC109 cells.
CONCLUSIONSAt the early stage of NMBz-induced esophageal cancer, α-T could block the initiation of carcinogenesis through suppressing the activation of NFκB signaling pathway. It might be the major mechanism by which α-T is potentially chemopreventive to esophageal cancer. During the progression of esophageal cancer, the cells may acquire the adaptive functions to accommodate oxidative stress via activating Nrf2 pathway.

Sennoside A (SA) is a bioactive component of Chinese herbal medicines with an activity of irritant laxative, which is often used in the treatment of constipation and obesity. However, its activity remains unknown in the regulation of insulin sensitivity. In this study, the impact of SA on insulin sensitivity was tested in high fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice through dietary supplementation. At a dosage of 30 mg/kg/day, SA improved insulin sensitivity in the mice after 8-week treatment as indicated by HOMA-IR (homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance) and glucose tolerance test (GTT). SA restored plasma level of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1) by 90% and mRNA expression of by 80% in the large intestine of HFD mice. In the mechanism, SA restored the gut microbiota profile, short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and mucosal structure in the colon. A mitochondrial stress was observed in the enterocytes of HFD mice with ATP elevation, structural damage, and complex dysfunction. The mitochondrial response was induced in enterocytes by the dietary fat as the same responses were induced by palmitic acid in the cell culture. The mitochondrial response was inhibited in HFD mice by SA treatment. These data suggest that SA may restore the function of microbiota-GLP1 axis to improve glucose metabolism in the obese mice.
