Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2011;34(21):24-28
Objective To analyze the risk factors and prevention of non-diabetic mother neonatal hypoglycemia,in order to provide evidences for clinical diagnosis and avoid hypoglycemic brain injuries.Methods This was retrospective study using the method of case control.One hundred and eleven cases of non-diabetic mother neonatal hypoglycemia were enrolled in patients group,and 111 controls of normal blood glucose neonate at the same period were enrolled in control group.The risk factors of neonatal hypoglycemia and the results of neural development after hypoglycemia were analyzed.Results The risk factors of neonatal hypoglycemia were low-birth-weight infant(X2=4.066,P=0.044),small for gestation age infant (X2=21.125,P=0.000),congenital heart disease(X2=5.869,P=0.015),day-age≤3 days(X2=6.876,P=0.032),mother with pregnancy-induced hypertension(X2=6.618,P=0.010)or age<25 years old (X2=6.311,P=0.044).Full-term infants might be easier to show up hypogtycemic brain injuries than pre-term infants;the occurrence of hypoglycemic brain injuries correlated with the level of blood glucose and the lasting time of hypoglycemia.Conclusion Monitor blood glucose closely to the infant has risk factors of hypoglycemia,and discover and cure it on time,in order to avoid hypoglycemic brain injuries.
2.Analysis on status and determinants of outpatient service utilization of rural floating population in Beijing at different residence time
Journal of Peking University(Health Sciences) 2017;49(3):476-482
Objective: To study the status and identify the determinants of outpatient service utilization of rural floating population in Beijing who have different accumulated residence time.Methods: The survey data of rural floating population health and health care services in Beijing in 2014 were used, and the migrant population aged 18 years and above were taken as the research object.Whether to use outpatient service within two weeks was taken as dependent variable, gender, age, education level, self-assessment score of socioeconomic status, accumulated residence time in Beijing, health insurance, average household income, suffering from high blood pressure or diabetes as independent variables.Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors.Results: The average age of the research object was 36.7 years, with mostly secondary education.The average accumulated residence time in Beijing was 8.4 years.The two-week prevalence rate was 10.3%, the two-week visiting rate calculated by person-time was 6.0%.The Logistic regression model suggested that, socioeconomic status, accumulated residence time and suffering from high blood pressure or diabetes were statistically significant determinants of outpatient service utilization.Conclusion: The research object is a younger and less educated population, their health status is better and outpatient service utilization is lower.It is found that people who have longer accumulated residence time in Beijing have lower outpatient service utilization.This is because people with longer residence time have lower age-adjusted two-week prevalence rate.This is also because people with longer residence time have larger proportion of taking continuous measures under doctor's advice.It does not mean people with longer residence time have lower utilization of medical service.The residence time variable plays the role of proxy variable.It can solve the problem of variables' endoge-neity.At the same time, it can reflect the influence to outpatient services utilization of some determinants,which are not included in the model but varies with residence time.

Objective To observe the effects of soybean isoflavone (SI) on the action potential of guinea pig papillary muscle and the sodium current in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocyte.Methods The action potential of guinea pig papillary muscle was measured by glass suspension electrode and the sodium current in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocyte was measured by whole cell patch-clamp technique. Results The SI reduced the action potential amplitude (APA) and shortened the 50% and 90% of duration of action potential (APD50 and APD90). The SI 0.1μg/ml inhibited sodium current in cardiomyocyte at a inhibition rate of 14.39 %, and the corresponding data of SI 1.0μg/ml at a inhibition rate of 23.48%. Conclusions The SI can reduce the APD of myocardiocyte and has a negative inotropic action on myocardium. These results indicate that SI inhibition of the sodium current may be one of mechanisms of its antiarrhythmic action.

BACKGROUND: In the field of organ transplantation, patients often take immunosuppressants after organ transplantation, such as CsA, FK506, DEX and MPA. However, their mechanisms of immunosuppression are different. The effect of immunosuppressive drugs on monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) remains poorly understood. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of different immunosuppressants on the secretions of MCP-1 in whole blood. METHODS: The whole blood of healthy volunteers was mixed with different immunosuppressants for 6 hours, such as CsA, FK506, DEX and MPA, which included low, middle and high concentrations, followed by PMA and IONO stimulation for 6 hours. MCP-1 levels in whole blood samples were compared. The whole blood cultured alone served as control. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: MCP-1 secretion was inhibited by DEX (1, 10 mg/L) and CsA (0.25,1.25 mg/L)- However, FK and MPA exhibited no such effect. Therefore, DEX and CsA may inhibit the function of monocytes and macrophages in immune system by diminishing the secretion of MCP-1. The combination of FK (5 μg/L), MPA (10 mg/L) and DEX (1 mg/L) or CsA (0.25 mg/L), MPA (10 mg/L) and DEX (1 mg/L) can inhibit the secretion of MCP-1, but only DEX among all the immunosuppressants mentioned above exhibited significant effect on inhibiting the secretion of MCP-1 when using alone.

Objective:To explore the influence of childhood abuse experience on relapse tendency of compulsory drug abusers, and the intermediary role of resilience and depression between them.Methods:A total of 261 drug abusers were investigated with childhood trauma questionnaire(CTQ), the Connor-Davidson resilience scale (CD-RISC), self-rating depression scale (SDS) and relapse tendency psychological questionnaire.All data processing and analysis were carried out by SPSS 25.0 software.Correlation analysis, Bootstrap analysis and other methods were used to test the mediating effect.Results:The scores of childhood abuse treatment, resilience, depression and relapse tendency were 44.690±18.550, 60.210±22.790, 48.370±12.450, and 15.300±9.833 respectively.Childhood abuse was negatively correlated with resilience( r=-0.396, P<0.01), and positively correlated with depression and relapse tendency( r=0.584, 0.298, P<0.01).Resilience was negatively correlated with depression and relapse tendency( r=-0.558, -0.147, P<0.05).Depression had a significant positive correlation with relapse tendency( r=0.286, P<0.01).Childhood abuse could directly predict the tendency of relapse( β=0.202, P<0.01), and it could also affect the tendency of relapse through the mediation of depression( β=0.082, 95% CI=0.007-0.165) and the chain mediation of resilience and depression( β=0.029, 95% CI=0.002-0.064). Conclusion:The experience of childhood abuse leads to the decrease of resilience of strong abstinence personnel and increases the level of depression, which finally increases the tendency of relapse.

Objective:
To study the mechanism of baicalin in inhibiting Mycobacterium tuberculosis(MTB)and to provide reference for drug-resistant tuberculosis treatment.
Methods:
Forty male Kunming mice were injected isoniazid-resistant MTB into their tail veins to build models of infection. They were evenly divided into MTB group,isophosiazone group,NF-κB inhibition group and baicalicin group according to treatment. The lung tissue and peripheral blood of the mice were collected on the 8th day after modeling. The morphological changes of the lungs were observed by HE staining. The number of MTB in lung tissue was detected by acid-fast staining and quantitative PCR. The number of macrophagein lung tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry. The expression of NF-κB and TLR4 in monocytes/macrophages were detected by flow cytometry.
Results:
The average weight of mice in the baicalicin group was significantly higher than that in the MTB group,the isophosiazone group and the NF-κBinhibition group(P<0.05). The average fluorescence intensity of NF-κB and TLR4 in monocytes/macrophages in the baicalicin group were 448.21±30.61 and 401.01±34.58,which were significantly higher than those in the MTB group and the isophosiazone group(P<0.05). Typical tuberculous chronic granulomatous lesions were observed in the MTB group,isophosiazone group and NF-κB inhibition group,except the baicalin group. The mean number of MTB and CD68+ macrophagesin lung tissue of mice in the baicalin group were significantly less than that in the MTB group,the isophosiazone group and the NF-κB inhibition group(P<0.05).
Conclusion
Baicalin achieves an anti-tuberculosis effect by regulating the expression of NF-κB and TLR4 in macrophages,which can be weakened by adding NF-κB inhibitor.
