Objective To explore the endoscopic and histopathological features of serrated adenomas (SAs).Methods The data of patients with colorectal polyps diagnosed in the Digestive Endoscopy Center at Nanfang Hospital from January 2002 to July 2005 were reviewed and the detection rate, endoscopic appearances, pit patterns and histopathological features of SAs were analyzed.Results In 1928(16.21%) out of 11 894 patients undergoing colonscopy 2811 polyps were found.Among them 61 patients with 71 polyps were found,with a detection rate of 0.51%.The SAs,larger than hyperplastic polyps obviously,were found in patients 39.44% with diameter (larger than 1 cm).The incidence of pedunculated polyps in SAs (26.76%) was higher than that in hyperplastic polyps(13.25%),but less than in adenomatous polyps (43.95%).The pit patterns of SAs, were typeⅢ pit pattern (41.67%) and type Ⅳ pit pattern (18.33%), this result was similar to adenomatous polyps.The incidences of moderate and severe dysplasia of SAs were higher than those of tubular adenomas but lower than villous adenomas.The canceration rate of SA was 2.82%.Conclusion The endoscopic appearances,these of pit patterns and histopathological features of SAs,were different from hyperplastic polyps essentially, but similar to neoplastic polyps with potential malignancy,which should be emphasized in clinical practice.

0.05).The prognosis was worse with increase in Dukes stage,negative expression of gene nm23,and positive expression of gene p53 and C-erb-2.Reverse expressions had better prognosis.Conclusions It can be likely to get a more reliable prognosis predication if a combine examination together with p53,C-erb-2,nm23 and their clinical pathology such as Dukes stages,was done in colorectal cancer patients.

OBJECTIVEThe purpose of this survey was to assess dental knowledge and behaviors of the teachers and mothers of school children.

METHODSAll data was collected from 1365 mothers of first grade students and 215 schoolteachers in Yichang, Hubei by using questionnaires and, analyzed using SPSS software.

RESULTSThe level of dental knowledge was higher among schoolteachers than among mothers; the mothers were mostly informed through television/book (62.4%/51.5%), while teachers received information from various sources, including the dentists (75.3%). Most of the children (94.0%) didn't have practical support from their parents in daily tooth cleaning. Only 18.9% of them visited the dentist at least once per year.

CONCLUSIONThis finding suggested that we should emphasize oral healthy education among mothers and schoolteachers, in order to promote school-based oral health education program.

Objective To evaluate the role of autophagy in hippocampal neurons in cognitive dysfunction caused by sevoflurane anesthesia in juvenile rats.Methods One hundred four male SpragueDawley rats, aged 7 days, weighing 10-16 g, were randomly assigned into 3 groups using a random number table: control group (group C, n =8), sevoflurane anesthesia group (group S, n =48), and sevoflurane anesthesia + rapamycin group (group SR, n =48).Group C inhaled 60％ oxygen for 6 h.S and SR groups inhaled 3.6％ sevoflurane anesthesia for 6 h, and in addition, rapamycin 2 mg/kg was injected intraperitoneally at 1 h before of sevoflurane inhalation in group SR.The equal volume of phosphate buffer solution was given in C and S groups.At 1 h before sevoflurane anesthesia (T0) , immediately after the end of anesthesia (T1) , and at 12, 24 and 48 h after the end of anesthesia (T2-4) , 8 rats were randomly selected from S and SR groups to determine the expression of autophagy-related proteins microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) Ⅰ , LC3 Ⅱ and Beclin-1 in hippocampal neurons (by Western blot).The ratio of LC3 Ⅱ/LC3 Ⅰ was calculated.Morris water maze test was performed at 5 weeks after the end of anesthesia to assess the cognitive function.The escape latency, frequency of crossing the original platform, and duration of swimming spent at the target quadrant were recorded.Results Compared with the values at T0, the expression of LC3 Ⅱ and Beclin-1 was significantly down-regulated at T1-3 , and the ratio of LC3 Ⅱ/LC3 [was decreased in group S, and the expression of LC3 Ⅱ and Beclin-1 was significantly up-regulated at T1-4, and the ratio of LC3 Ⅱ/LC3 Ⅰ was increased in group SR (P＜0.05).Compared with group C, the escape latency was significantly prolonged, the frequency of crossing the original platform was reduced, and the duration of swimming spent at the target quadrant was shortened at 3-5 days in group S (P＜0.05) , and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group SR (P＞ 0.05).Compared with group S, the escape latency was significantly shortened, the frequency of crossing the original platform was increased, and the duration of swimming spent at the target quadrant was prolonged at 3-5 days, the expression of LC3 Ⅱ and Beclin-1 was up-regulated at T1-4 , and the ratio of LC3 Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ was increased in group SR (P＜0.05).Conclusion Weakened autophagy in hippocampal neurons is involved in cognitive dysfunction caused by sevoflurane anesthesia in the juvenile rats.

Objective To determine collateral circulation in patients with acute ischemic stroke using capillary index score (CIS)in order to evaluate the prognosis of endovascular treatment. Methods From January 2013 to December 2015,46 consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with endovascular treatment at the Department of Neurology,Central Hospital of Baotou were enrolled retrospectively. Angiography was performed before endovascular treatment in order to complete CIS score. The patients were divided into a good prognosis group (n = 21)and a poor prognosis group (n = 25)according to the modified Rankin scale (mRS)scores. Univariate analysis was used to compare the baseline data and the clinical data of the two groups,including age,sex,history of diabetes,pretreatment systolic blood pressure,conducting intravenous thrombolysis or not,time from ictus to intravenous thrombolysis,National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)score,Alberta stroke program early CT score (ASPECTS),vascular filling,time from onset to revascularization,and postoperative vascular recanalization (the modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction [mTICI]). Multivariate analysis was used to analyze the effect of CIS score on good prognosis. Results There were no significant differences in age,sex,history of diabetes,pretreatment systolic blood pressure,conducting intravenous thrombolysis or not,time from ictus to thrombolysis,and number of mechanical thrombectomy between the good prognosis group and the poor prognosis group (all P > 0. 05). There were significant differences in the NIHSS score (15 ± 3 vs. 19 ± 4),ASPECTS score (8 [7,10]vs. 6 [5,8]),filling well 85. 7% (18 / 21)vs. 44. 0% [11 / 25]),time from ictus to recanalization (363 ± 42 min vs. 398 ± 53 min),and postoperative vascular recanalization (mTICI≥Ⅱb)(100. 0% [21 / 21]vs. 68. 0%[17 / 25];all P < 0. 05). CIS (OR,8. 600,95% CI 2. 670 -33. 800)and mTICI grade (OR,5. 720, 95%CI 12. 170-22. 300)were significantly associated with the prognosis. Conclusion The CIS score can be used to evaluate brain perfusion. fCIS is closely associated with the good clinical prognosis. When screening the suitable patients for endovascular therapy,increasing the CIS score to evaluate the salvageable brain tissue is effective and feasible.

Objective:To assess the periodontal diseases as a possible risk factor for preterm and low birth weight. Methods: A population-based, cross-sectional study was carried out in Hubei. The samples were chosen randomly by the rule of admittance. Socio-demographic information relating to health and maternal habits was collected through a questionnaire. The clinical parameters were debris index-simplified (DI-S), sulcus bleeding index (SBI), probing pocket depth (PD) and clinical attachment loss (CAJ). The birth time and weight were recorded. The result was analyzed with chi-square test and logistic regression analysis.Results: The incidence of preterm low birth weight was 12.3%. The gingivitis and periodontitis were diagnosed in 86.6% and 64.2% of preterm low birth weight cases. The odds ratio of having gingivitis and preterm low birth weight was 1.30(95%confidence interval: 0.53-3.22). The odds ratio of having periodontitis and preterm low birth weight was 2.69(95%confidence interval: 1.37-5.27). Conclusion: The periodontal diseases of pregnancy can be regarded as an important risk factor for preterm low birth weight.

Objective To understand the incidence and the severity of hypertension in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and to analyze the impact of OSAHS on the circadian rhythm of blood pressure in patients with hypertension and to investigate the risk factors for the occurrence of hypertension from the aspects of nocturnal hypoxemia and sleep structure. Methods Polysomnography monitor was used for 7-hour sleep monitoring at night and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in 77 patients with OSAHS (severe, n = 33; moderate, n = 23; mild, n = 23). The sleep-related indicators and blood pressure at different times were analyzed, and they were compared to the patients with hypertension without OSAHS (n = 15) and normal controls (n = 15). Results (1) The body mass index (BMI) in the severe, moderate, and mild OSAHS groups was 29.1±2.8, 25.0±2.5, and 23.2±3.0 kg/m~2 respectively, and they were all significantly higher than 20.3±4.1 kg/m~2 in the control group (all P <0.05); sleep apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) was 56.2±14.7, 19.1± 4.4, and 11.2±4.3/h respectively, and they were significantly higher than 2.9±1.0/h in the control group (all P <0. 05); oxygen saturation index (ODI) was 62.5±20.4, 19.6±8.8, and 24.8±22.7/h respectively, and they were significantly higher than 2.7±2.0/h in the control group (all P <0.05); microarousal index (MI) was 47.5±20.9, 12.8±4.6, and 9.8±4.6/h respectively, arid they were significantly higher than 1.3±1.1/h in the control group (all P < 0.05); 24-hour mean systolic blood pressure was 133±14.5, 126±6.5, and 118± 9.9 mm Hg respectively, and the severe and moderate OSAHS groups were significantly higher than 117±9. 6 mm Hg (all P <0.05); 24-hour mean diastolic blood pressure was 92.8±9.6, 86.3±7.5, and 81.9±3.9 mm Hg respectively, and the severe and moderate OSAHS groups were significantly higher than 78.5±5.6 mm Hg in the control group (all P <0.05); and the lowest oxygen saturation was 65.5%±10.4%, 78.5%±5.1%, and 79.7%±9.6% respectively, and the severe and moderate OSAHS groups were significantly lower than 84.7% ±8.2% (P <0.05). (2) There was no significant difference in blood pressure before going to bed and waking up between the hypertension group and the control group. The blood pressure after waking up in the OSAHS combined with hypertension group was significantly higher than before going to bed (142.0±12.4/110.0±10.2 mm Hg vs. 127.4±9.8/84.2± 6.0 mm Hg, P <0.05). (3) ODI and MI in the OSAHS combined with hypertension group were 43.5±26.2/h and 31.6±21.2/h respectively, and they were significantly higher than 26.7± 13.2/h and 27.5±20.6/h in the non-hypertension OSAHS group (all P <0.05), and the non-rapid eye movement sleep period S3 +4 and the sleep efficiency of the former were 5.1%± 3.5% and 62.2±15.4% respectively, and they were all significantly lower than 8.8%± 5.2% and 69.92%±14.8% of the latter (P <0.05 and 0.01, respectively). (4) component ratio of non-dipper blood pressure curve was 56.1% in the OSAHS combined with hypertension group, and it was significantly higher than 13.1% in the control group and 16.7% in the simple hypertension group (all P <0.01 ). (5) Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that ODI (OR = 1.29, 95% CI 1.57-1.07; P = 0.01 ), MI (OR = 0.925, 95% CI 0.874-0.980; P =0.008) and the time of period S3 +4 (OR = 1.087, 95% CI 1.034-1.142; P =0.001 ) were significantly correlated with hypertension alter adjusting for BMI, sex and age. Conclusions Systolic and diastolic blood pressures in the OSAHS group were significantly high-er than those in the normal control group, and the blood pressure increased with the aggravation of OSAHS. 1he circadian rhythm of blood pressure disappeared, and the blood pressure variabili-ty showed a non-dipper-shaped curve. The major risk factor for causing patients with OSAHS combined with hypertension was nocturnal hypoxemia and then severe sleep disorders and in-creased MI.

Objective:To evaluate the role of ten-eleven translocation methylcytosine dioxygenase 3 (TET3) in trigeminal ganglion in maxillofacial inflammatory pain in mice.Methods:Forty SPF healthy male C57BL/6J mice, aged 8-10 weeks, weighing 19-23 g, were divided into 5 groups ( n=8 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), inflammatory pain group (group IP), control+ TET3-siRNA group (group C+ siTET3), inflammatory pain+ TET3-siRNA group (group IP+ siTET3) and inflammatory pain+ negative control Scrambled-siRNA group (group IP+ siNC). Normal saline or complete Freund′s adjuvant (CFA) 10 μl was injected into the temporomandibular joint of mice, respectively, and the mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) was measured at 1, 4, 8 and 12 days after injection (T 1-4). Before injection of normal saline or CFA, 0.75 μl siTET3 or siNC was injected into the trigeminal ganglion and the animals were then sacrificed and trigeminal ganglion was removed at T 2 for determination of the expression of TET3 by Western blot in C+ siTET3, IP+ siTET3 and IP+ siNC groups. Results:Compared with group C, MWT was significantly decreased at T 1-3 , the expression of TET3 in trigeminal ganglion was up-regulate in group IP ( P<0.05 or 0.01). Compared with IP and IP+ siNC groups, MWT was significantly increased at T 2, 3, and the expression of TET3 in trigeminal ganglion was down-regulate in group IP+ siTET3 ( P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusion:TET3 in trigeminal ganglion is involved in the development of maxillofacial inflammatory pain in mice.

Objective: To assess the regional systolic and diastolic function of left ventricle by pulsed wave Doppler tissue imaging ( PW-DTI) in patients with coronary artery disease ( CAD ) . Methods : Seventy-seven cases of coronary angiography were adopted for study and grouped in terms of severity of coronary arterial lesion. Peak systolic, peak early diastolic, and peak late diastolic motion velocities (Sm, Em and Am, respectively) were recorded at 6 different sites on the basal and medial segments corresponding to the anteroseptal, posteroseptal, lateral, anterior, inferior, and posterior walls of the left ventricle with PW-DTI. Results: Am in segments corresponding to normal coronary arteries (group A) was lower than in segments corresponding to slightly stenosed coronaries (group B). There was no significant difference in Sm and Em between group A and group B. Compared with group A, Sm, Em and Am were significantly decreased in segments corresponding to severely stenosed coronary arteries ( group D). Conclusion : PW-DTI could be used to evaluate quantitatively and accurately the regional mvocardial function of left ventricle in patients with CAD.
