Objective To investigate the correlation between microalbuminuria (MAU) and obesity and its indexes, including BMI, waist circumference(WC), and waist-to-hip ratio(WHR) , among partial community population in Beijing. Methods A total of 2080 subjects who took physical examination in Beijing, including 810 men and 1270 women with a mean age of(50. 9 ± 13. 1 )years, were enrolled. The informed consent has been achieved from each patients. BMI and WHR were calculated based on collected data of height, weight, WC, and hipline. Urine albumin-creatinine ratio(ACR) within the range of 30-300mg/g was classified as MAU. The subjects were divided into normal albuminuria ( NAU ) group and MAU group. The correlations between MAU and different obesity indexes including BMI, WC and WHR, were analyzed. Results Among the 2080 subjects, there was a positive correlation between BMI (r = 0. 1276,P＜0.01) and ACR, and WC (r = 0.0840, P ＜0.01) and ACR. WHR and ACR was irrelevant ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). In univariate analysis, there was significant difference in BMI ≥ 28 kg/m2 ( OR = 2. 02 ) and WC ≥85 cm (male) or≥80 cm (female) (OR = 1.69 ) between NAU group and MAU group (P ＜ 0. 05 ).There was no significant difference in BMI 24-＜ 28 kg/m2, and WHR ≥0. 90 (male) or ≥0. 85 (female)between NAU group and MAU group( P≥0. 05 ). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that BMI ( OR = 1.06) was an isolated independent risk factor of MAU from age ( OR = 1.01 ), female ( OR = 1.42),systolic blood pressure (OR=1.01), TC (OR=1.93) and HDL-C (OR=0.54). Conclusions Obesity is an independent risk factor of MAU among partial community population in Beijing. The correlation between different obesity indexes and MAU also differs.

This paper is to report the development of a rapid and sensitive method for the determination of s-oleylpropanolamide (OPA) in various tissues of rat (brain, heart, lung, liver, spleen, small intestine, kidney, adipose tissue and muscle), and to assess the applicability of the assay to tissue distribution. OPA was extracted by liquid-liquid extraction method with undecylenoylethanolamide as an internal standard. The concentrations of OPA were determined by LC-MS/MS after a single intragastric dose of 50 mg x kg(-1) at 4 time points (5 rats per group). With multiple reactions monitoring mode (MRM) the limit of quantification (LLOQ) was determined at 1 microg x L(-1). The calibration curve was linear from 1 to 2 x 104 microg x L(-1) (r > or = 0.999 0) for tissue homogenates. Validation parameters such as accuracy, precision and recovery were found to be within the acceptance criteria of the assay validation guidelines. The highest concentration was found in small intestine (the highest time point is 15 min) and heart (the highest time point is 90 min). The assay is rapid, sensitive and applicable to studying tissue distribution of OPA in rats.

Objective To explore a highly sensitive and highly specific method to detect the serum MG7 antigen (Ag) level for early gastric cancer diagnosis.Methods The serum MG7-Ag level was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method in 116 preoperative gastric cancer patients,63 postoperative gastric cancer patients,41 patients with precancerous lesion,37 patients with precancerous diseases,50 healthy individuals and 281 patients with other cancers.Meanwhile,the expression of MG7-Ag was also examined with immunohistochemistry in patients with gastric cancer or precancerous lesion.Chi-square test was used for comparing positive rates of the two detection methods.Results The positive rate of MG7-Ag determined by ELISA was 83.6％(97/116) of preoperative gastric cancer patients,45.2％(28/62) of lung cancer patients,45.5％(20/44) of rectal cancer patients,17.6％ (12/68) of colonic cancer patients,14.2％ (6/42) of breast cancer patients,47.6％ (30/63) of postoperative gastric cancer patients,19.5 ％ (8/4 1) of patients with precancerous lesions,5.4 ％ (2/37) of patients with precancerous diseases and 0 of healthy individuals.The sensitivity of ELISA (83.6 ％) was similar with that of immunohistochemistry (94.0％)(P＞0.05).However,the false positive rate of ELISA (12.8 ％) was lower than that of immunohistochemistry (51.3 ％) (x2 =26.491,P＜0.01).There was statistically significant difference in MG7 Ag expression in gastric cancer with different clinical stages (x2=15.564,P＜0.01).Conclusion This ELISA method might be a non-invasive screening method for population with high risk of gastric cancer.

Objective To explore the feasibility of somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) evaluating Tourette syndrome, based on the theory of SEP evaluating sensory-motor cortical function. Methods 33 cases of Tourette syndrome in our hospital from March 2014 to April 2015 were as the experiment group and 30 healthy participants were as the normal control group. Both groups were evaluated with Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) and SEP. Results There was no significant difference in N20 leak latency and leak-leak amplitude of SEP between 2 groups (P>0.05). The P22 leak latency prolonged (t=2.356, P<0.05) and the leak-leak amplitude decreased (t=2.507, P<0.05) in the experiment group compared with the normal control group. The YGTSS score was higher in the experiment group than in the normal control group (t=3.012, P<0.01). The P22 leak latency was positively (r=0.402, P<0.001), and the P22 leak-leak amplitude was negatively (r=-0.180, P<0.001) correlated with YGTSS score. Conclusion Children with Tourette syndrome are disordered in inhibiting sensory or mo-tor impulse through cortex-striatum-thalamus-cortex regulation circuit. SEP is considered as the objective indicator of patients with Tourette syndrome.

Objective To evaluate the role of echocardiography in diagnosis and post-operative evaluation of infants and children with double aortic arch. Methods Echocardiography was performed in 6 patients with double aortic arch from January 2006 to June 2008. The outcome of postoperative follow-up was also evaluated. Results Six patients ranged in age from 3 months to 4 years and averaged 18 months. There were 2 boys and 4 girls. Echocardiography diagnosed double aortic arch in 4 patients, one balanced arch and 3 right arch dominant, and was confirmed by surgical observation in each patient. The size of the two arches were almost same in balanced arch,and the diameter of right arch was bigger than that of left arch in right arch dominant. Echocardiography failed to diagnose in 2 patients with balanced arch. Three patients had associated heart defect, such as patent ductus arteriosus and ventricular septal defect. Five of the 6 patients underwent surgical division of the left arch in order to relieve esophageal and tracheal compression. At about 2 years postoperative follow-up,echocardiography can clearly show the flow of aortic arch and it's branches. Conclusions It is an important clue to double aortic arch if only two branches of aortic arch was shown on supersternal view by echocardiography. As a non-invasive techniqe, echocardiography is useful for diagnosing and post-operative evaluating of patients with double aortic arch.

Objective To assess the diagnostic predictive value of Wells score and modified Geneva score for acute pulmonary embolism by prospective case series and to explore a more suitable scoring system for Chinese population.Methods All the patients suspected of pulmonary embolism (PE) and received CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) were enrolled consecutively in Fuxing Hospital,Capital Medical University,China,from June 2009 to August 2011.Before CTPA test or on condition that test results were unknown,clinical scoring was assessed prospectively by the Wells score and the modified Geneva score.The probability of PE in each patient was assessed and the patients were divided into low,moderate and high probability groups according to the clinical scores.The result of CTPA was used as the diagnostic gold standard for PE.Diagnostic accuracy in each group was analyzed.The predictive accuracy of both scores was compared by AUCROC curve.Results A total of 139 patients met our enrollment criteria and 117 eligible patients entered our study at last.PE was diagnosed in 47 patients by CTPA with an overall prevalence of 40.2％.Prevalence of PE in the low,moderate and high pretest probability groups assessed by the Wells score and by the simplified modified Geneva score were 7.1％ (3/42),42.9％ (21/49),88.5％ (23/26)and 10.0％ (3/30),48.1％ (37/77),7/10,respectively.AUCROC curves for the Wells score and the simplified modified Geneva score were 0.872 ( 95％ CI 0.810-0.933 ) and 0.734 ( 95％ CI 0.643-0.825 )respectively,with a significant difference ( P =0.005 ).Conclusion The Wells score is more accurate for clinical predicting acute PE than the modified Geneva score.

Objective To identify differences in the anal sphincter surface electromyography (sEMG)variables in spinal cord injury (SCI) subjects with different severities. Methods One hundred and ten SCI patients' impairments were classified as ASIA A,B,C or D using the International Standards for the Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury.The evaluation was pedormed using sEMG equipment with an inserted anal sensor electrode and the Glazer pelvic floor muscle sEMG protocol.The sEMG variables were recorded and compared. Results There was no significant difference in sEMG variables between groups A and B,but the mean and maximum sEMG values of groups C and D in flick contractions ( 1 s),tonic contractions ( 10 s),and endurance contractions (60 s) were significantly higher than those of group A.Compared with group C,the mean and maximum sEMG values of group D were all significantly higher. Conclusions The sEMG data from the anal sphincter during contractions decreases significantly after SCI.Glazer's pelvic floor muscle sEMG protocol is a noninvasive and convenient real-time assessment.It is a useful complementary tool for quantitative assessment of the pelvic floor muscles of SCI patients.
