ObjectiveTo compare the values of serum citrulline, intestinal fatty acid binding protein (IFABP) and intes-tinal trefoil factor (ITF) in diagnosis of acute gastrointestinal injury in critically ill children.MethodsA total of 84 critically ill children were enrolled. The serum citrullin, IFABP, and ITF were measured by high performance liquid chromatography and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The testing results and clinical data were analyzed.ResultsCompared with non gastroin-testinal injury group, the serum citrulline level was signiifcantly lower and IFABP and ITF levels were signiifcantly higher in gas-trointestinal injury group (allP<0.05). In critically ill children, the serum citrulline level was negatively correlated with C-reactive protein, procalcitonin and hospitalization time (r=-0.36 to -0.31,P<0.01).ConclusionsThe levels of citrulline, IFABP and ITF have diagnostic values for acute gastrointestinal injury in critically ill children. The level of citrulline may relfect the degree of acute gastrointestinal injury in critically ill children.

Objective To explore the effects of cognitive behavioral therapy and citalopram on regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF)in the patients with depression disorder.Methods 38 patients with depression disorder were divided into the cognitive behavioral therapy group(n=18),and citalopram group(n=20).The rCBF changes and scores of Hanmilton Depression Scale(HAMD)of all patients in two groups were evaluated with 99Tcm-ECD single photon emission computed tomography(SPECT)and HAMD before and after treatment.Results After treatment,the symptoms of all patients in two groups improved,but the cases of the citalopram group got a rapid improvement compared with those of the cognitive behavioral therapy group.Both of two methods could increase blood flow in right basal ganglion;while,the blood flow also increased in right limbic system in the cognitive behavioral therapy group,and in right temporol lobule in the citalopram group.Conclusion Both cognitive behavioral therapy and citalopram are effect on symptoms of depression disorder,but affect blood flow in different parts.

Objective To explore the expression of urothelial carcinoma-associated 1 ( UCA1 ) in pancreatic cancer cell lines and its influence on the invasion and metastasis of the pancreatic cancer cells .Methods The expression of UCA1 in pancreatic cancer tissues and paired adjacent normal tissues ( 11 cases ) and 5 pancreatic cancer cell lines was analyzed by real-time PCR.The level of UCA1 in BxPC-3 was knocked down by small interfering RNA . The ability of invasion and migration in vitro of transfected BxPC-3 was detected by Transwell invasion assay and wound healing assay .The protein levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were measured by Western blot experiment .Results The expression level of UCA1 in pancreatic cancer tissues was higher than that in paired adjacent normal tissues , and UCA1 differentially expressed in 5 pancreatic cancer cell lines .Down-regulation of UCA1 by siRNA suppressed the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in BxPC3, and dramatically impaired the ability of invasion and migration of BxPC-3.Conclusions UCA1 is over-expressed in pancreatic cancer , and down-regulation of UCA1 attenuates the capacity of invasion and metastasis in vitro of BxPC-3 by decreasing MMP-2 and MMP-9.

Objective To establish a quality control method for bomeol and artificial musk in Xinfufang-Zhenzhusan and Xinfufang-Zhenzhugao.Methods We used petroleum ether-toluene-ethyl acetate (9:3:2)as developer for TLC to identify isoborneol and borneol and petroleum ether-dichloromethane (2:3) as developer for TLC to identificate musk ketone.Agilent 7890 B gas chromatograph,FDI detector;Column:Thermo-TG-WaxMS GC (0.25 mm × 30 m,0.25 mm) was employed;the carrier gas was high purity nitrogen and flow rate for 1 mg/ml,the injection port temperature is 200 C and detector temperature is 250 ℃;the split ratio is 10:1 and injection volume was 1 μl,using temperature programmed.Results The isoborneol,borneol and musk ketone in the range of 0.001-10 mg/ml showed good linearity.The recovery of the method is in the range of 95 % to 105 %.The TLC for isobomeol,bomeol,musk ketone can be identified easily.Conclusions The method was simple and reasonable,which can be used for the quality control of borneol and artificial musk in the Xinfufang-Zhenzhusan and Xinfufang-Zhenzhugao.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between white blood cells, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio(NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio(PLR) and monocyte-lymphocyte ratio(MLR) with patients suffering from first episode depression.Methods:This retrospective study was conducted among inpatients of Hebei General Hospital from January 2021 to December 2021.Ultimately, 193 patients with first-episode depression were enrolled.According to the score of Hamilton depression scale-24 (HAMD-24), the patients were divided into mild-moderate depression group(20≤HAMD-24<35 score, n=98) and severe depression group (HAMD-24 score ≥35, n=95). White blood cells and the counts of each cell subtype were detected and the NLR, MLR and PLR were calculated.SPSS 25.0 statistical software was used to analyze the data.Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare differences in the two groups and Binary Logistic regression analyses were performed to recognize the predictive factors of the severity of first episode depression. Results:(1) The white blood cells and NLR in the severe depression group were significantly higher than those in the mild-moderate depression group (white blood cells: 5.77(2.05)×10 9/L vs 5.11(1.31)×10 9/L; NLR: 1.86 (1.04) vs 1.57(0.55), P<0.05). There were no significant differences in PLR and MLR between the two groups ( P>0.05). (2)Multiple regression analysis of NLR, white blood cells and HAMD-24 score showed that there were significant differences in the effect of different white blood cells and NLR levels on HAMD-24 score( B=1.398, P=0.003; B=2.624, P=0.001). (3)Binary Logistic regression revealed that white blood cell count and NLR were risk factors for the severity of depression patients( OR were 1.612 and 2.336, respectively, P<0.05). Conclusion:The results suggest that white blood cells and NLR may be relate with the severity of first episode depression.
