Aim To illustrate the actions and molecular mechanisms of interventions taken to convert the metabolism pathways of cellular apoptosis caused by hypoxia and hypoxia-reperfusion in hypertrophic cardiomyocytes.Methods Angiotensin Ⅱ(0.1 ?mol?L-1)was applied to induce the hypertrophy of mice cardiomyocytes.The cardiomyocytes received the treatment of hypoxia-reperfusion in a tri-gas incubator to simulate the conditions of hypoxia-reperfusion.Before hypoxia/reperfusion,no drug intervention and pre-treatments of DCA(1 mmol?L-1),TMZ(5 ?mol?L-1),LC(50 ?mol?L-1)and AA(10 ?mol?L-1)were given respectively.The glucose and fatty acid oxidative metabolism rates were measured with radioactive counting methods.RT-PCR and Western blot methods were employed respectively to measure the mRNA and protein expression levels of cytochrome C and apoptosis inducers.The spectrophotometry method was used to measure the activity of Caspase-3 and Hoechst 33258 staining to quantify the percentage of cellular apoptosis.Results At post-hypoxia 12 h and post-reperfusion 4 h,the glucose oxidative metabolism rates in hypertrophic cardiomyocytes all decreased while the fatty acid oxidative metabolism rates increased.DCA,TMZ and LC all could inhibit both the reduction of glucose oxidative metabolism after hypoxia-reperfusion and the elevation of fatty acid oxidative metabolism after hypoxia-reperfusion.AA drove the reduction of glucose oxidative metabolism rate even lower and the fatty acid oxidative metabolism rate even higher in hypertrophic cardiomyocytes after ischemia/reperfusion.At the same time,DCA,TMZ and LC could inhibit the expression levels of mitochondrial cytochrome C and AIF mRNA and proteins,the nuclear translocation of cytochrome c and AIF proteins and the activity of caspase-3.And with the opposing actions to AA,DCA,TMZ and LC could inhibit the apoptotic rate of hypertrophic cardiomyocytes after hypoxia-reperfusion.And AA had the opposite effect.Conclusion Intervening in the metabolism pathway of hypertrophic cardiomyocytes was an effective way to prevent and control their programmed death through inhibiting the expression of mitochondrial apoptotic proteins.

Objective:To study the effectiveness of a strategy for detecting early gastric cancer using high-definition gastroscopy.Methods:A total of 849 patients over 35 years old who underwent gastroscopy in the Seventh Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from December 2018 to January 2019 were enrolled to a prospective study. During gastroscopy, biopsies were taken at any suspicious lesions in patients who had never been infected with Helicobacter pylori. In ulcer-type lesions, biopsies were taken at the edge of the ulcer. Outside the atrophic area, biopsies were taken at lesions in the cardia which were reddish under white light, or lesions in the non-cardiac area which were white or showed clear borders under white light. Inside the atrophic area, biopsies were taken at elevated lesions with clear borders or irregular depressions on the top, or flat/depressed lesions with irregular borders or being ocherous under narrow band imaging. In addition, biopsies were performed on any lesion that did not meet the above standard but was considered necessary. The high-risk patients were followed up by gastroscopy to observe the detection and missed diagnosis of neoplasm that meet the above standard, and to determine the sensitivity and positive predictive value of the strategy. Results:A total of 548 patients were biopsied (781 lesions). Among the 327 lesions that met the above standard, 16 lesions (4.9%) were diagnosed as epithelial neoplasm, of which 10 (3.1%) were high-grade neoplasm. Among the 454 lesions that did not meet the standard, only 1 (0.2%) epithelial neoplasm was diagnosed, and there was no high-grade neoplasm. The positive predictive value of this screening strategy for gastric epithelial neoplasm and high-grade neoplasm was higher than those who did not meet the standard (4.9% VS 0.2%, χ2=19.49, P<0.01; 3.1% VS 0, P<0.001). There were 146 patients (17.2%, 146/849) followed up by gastroscopy. During the follow-up, 2 high-grade intramucosal neoplasms were found. 84.2% (16/19) of epithelial tumors and 83.3% (10/12) of high-grade neoplasm were detected during the initial gastroscopy. Conclusion:This screening strategy can efficiently detect early gastric cancer under high-definition gastroscopy.

Objective:To assess the relationship between appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) and ankle brachial index (ABI) among patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods:In this cross-sectional study, from July 2018 to March 2019, a total of 278 patients with type 2 diabetes treated in Zhongda Hospital were enrolled in this study, and there were 158 males and 120 females. General information and clinical biochemical parameters and ABI in the patients were collected. The appendicular muscle mass was quantitatively measured with body composition analyzer to achieve ASM. And the appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI), skeletal muscle index (SMI), and appendicular skeletal muscle mass/body mass index (ASM/BMI) were calculated respectively. Correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analyses with different adjustment models were conducted to analyze the correlation between ABI and above-mentioned indexes.Results:The Pearson correlation analysis showed that ABI had significant positive correlation with ASM, ASMI and ASM/BMI ( r=0.14, 0.13, 0.13, all P<0.05), but a marginal relation with SMI ( r=0.116, P=0.053). Multiple linear regression analysis suggested that ASMI ( β=0.053, 95% CI: 0.006-0.101, P=0.027) and AMI/ABI ( β=0.347, 95% CI: 0.040-0.654, P=0.027) were significantly related to ABI. Conclusion:ASM is positively associated with ABI in patients with type 2 diabetes.

ObjectiveTo analyze the mental health status of non-psychiatric inpatients in a general hospital, and to explore the relevant influencing factors, so as to provide references for the screening of mental health problems and the construction of intervention models among non-psychiatric inpatients. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 916 non-psychiatric inpatients in a third grade class A general hospital in Guangzhou, and all the inpatients were assessed using Patient Health Questionnaire-9 item (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 item (GAD-7), Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) and Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) to detect their depression, anxiety, insomnia and suicide risk status. Thereafter, univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to screen the risk factors affecting the mental health of inpatients. ResultsA total of 339 (37.0%) inpatients with positive mental health problems were screened, and the screening results for each dimension revealed 218 cases (23.8%) of depression, 141 cases (15.4%) of anxiety, 257 cases (28.1%) of insomnia, 42 cases (4.6%) of suicidal ideation and 7 cases (0.8%) of suicidal behavior. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that female (OR=1.379, P<0.05) was a risk factor for positive screening of mental health problems. Ordinal Logistic regression analysis denoted that age above 60 years old (OR=1.542, P<0.05) and singlehood (OR=2.055, P<0.05) were risk factors affecting the severity of depression, while senior high school to junior college education (OR=0.524, P<0.05) was a protective factor of depression, meantime, female (OR=1.472, P<0.05) was a risk factor affecting the severity of insomnia. ConclusionMental health problems are quite common among non-psychiatric inpatients in general hospitals, and are mainly affected by factors such as gender, age, marital status and educational background.
