Chinese Journal of Disease Control & Prevention 2009;0(02):-
Objective To understand the preventive medicine students' education demand and effectiveness evaluation to train handling skills of public health critical incidents, to analyze the education problems, and to look for countermeasures to meet the demand for the talents. Methods The investigation was conducted in 105 students of preventive medicine major from two universities whose questionnaire included the handling public health critical incidents knowledge, public health critical incidents knowledge demand, education evaluation and so on. Results All the students believed that it was essential to handle knowledge of public health critical incidents. 78.1 percent of students believed that it was important to master knowledge of public health critical incidents for improving their competitiveness. 84.8 percent of students thought it inadequate to have textbook knowledge only. 75.2 percent of students held the professional training should be strengthened. Conclusions The current education programs are unable to meet the students' demand for knowledge on handling public health critical incidents and lack the relevant contents. The education organizations are supposed to reform preventive medicine education model, to increase the content of courses, and to prolong training duration. The pertinent knowledge of public health critical incidents should also be integrated into the training programs for students.

Aim To observe the action of estrone on the hippocampal neuronal apoptosis induced by NMDA in vitro and to analyse the mechanism underlying the neuroprotection of estrone. Methods The methods of both morphological analysis and cell viabilities were used, and Western blot was also used to analyce the role of antitoxiciy of estrone. Results The cultures were conformed with fluorescent dye of Hoechst 33258 and NeuN. About 31.6% neurons were induced into apoptosis by NMDA(300 ?mol?L~ -1 +glycine 5 ?mol?L~ -1 ,compared with control group, P0.05). MTT test also showed that estrone can protect cultures from apoptosis induced by NMDA, it can raise the cell viabilities exposed to NMDA. Western blot showed that activities of caspase-3 can be inhibited by estrone, the segments of caspase-3 can diminished after application of estrone together with NMDA. Conclusion Estrone had neuronal protection, this role maybe relate to the inhibition of caspase-3, a common pathway in apoptosis. The results can provide some clues to the explovation of the clinical use of estrone and to the development of a neuronal protective drug.
8.Expression of serum galectin-3, cystatin-C and endothelin-1 in elderly patients with hypertension and their correlation with left ventricular hypertrophy
Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2021;44(4):342-347
Objective:To investigate the expression of serum galectin-3 (Gal-3), cystatin-C (Cys-C) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) in elderly patients with hypertension and analyze their correlation with left ventricular hypertrophy(LVH).Methods:A total of over 65 years old 110 patients with essential hypertension in Tieling Central Hospital from July 2018 to May 2019 were selected as hypertension group, according to the LVH, patients with essential hypertension were divided into (non LVH group, 66 patients) and LVH group (44 patients). At the same time, a total of 110 healthy people in the same period were selected as control group. The expressions of serum Gal-3, Cys-C and ET-1 in each group were compared, and the correlation between left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and Gal-3, Cys-C in patients with essential hypertension were analyzed.Results:The levels of Gal-3, Cys-C and ET-3 in the hypertension group were higher than those in the control group: (132.28 ± 38.18) μg/L vs. (110.60 ± 17.51) μg/L, (1.19 ± 0.12) mg/L vs. (0.81 ± 0.06) mg/L, (21.28 ± 0.72) ng/L vs. (16.50 ± 0.68) ng/L, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The levels of Gal-3, Cys-C and ET-1 in the LVH group were significantly higher than those in the non LVH group: (159.75 ± 36.37) μg/L vs. (113.96 ± 26.79) μg/L, (1.24 ±) mg/L vs.(1.16 ± 0.08) mg/L, (21.84 ± 0.71) ng/L vs.(20.90 ± 0.41) ng/L, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that LVMI was positively correlated with Gal-3( r=0.650, P<0.01), Cys-C( r=0.659, P<0.01) and ET-1( r=0.858, P<0.01). The receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of Gal-3 in diagnosing hypertensive LVH was 0.821, 95% CI 0.743-0.899, the cutoff value was 148.55 μg/L, and the sensitivity and specificity were 59.10% and 89.40%. The AUC of Cys-C in diagnosing hypertensive LVH was 0.672, 95% CI 0.558-0.786, the cutoff value was 1.320 mg/L, and the sensitivity and specificity were 43.20% and 98.50%. The AUC of ET-1 in diagnosing hypertensive LVH was 0.876, 95% CI 0.811-0.941, the cutoff value was 22.275 ng/L, and the sensitivity and specificity were 65.90% and 95.50%. The AUC of combined detection was 0.948, 95% CI 0.855-0.976, and the sensitivity and specificity were 84.10%, 98.50%. Conclusions:The serum levels of Gal-3, Cys-C and ET-1 in elderly patients with hypertension are significantly increased, and there are a good correlation between them and LVH, and combined detection can be used as a sensitive index for the diagnosis of hypertensive LVH.
