Objective To evaluate the effect and safety of catheter constant drainage combined with pericardial perfusion lentinan in treatment of patients with malignant pericardial effusion caused by lung cancer.Methods One hundred and eighteen patients with malignant pericardial effusion caused by lung cancer were divided into 2 groups by table of random digit,the treatment group (56 cases) was treated by pericardial perfusion lentinan after catheter constant drainage by central venous catheter,and the control group (62 cases) was treated by pericardial perfusion cisplatin after catheter constant drainage by central venous catheter.The therapeutic effect and adverse reaction were contrasted between the two groups.Results There was no significant difference in effective rate between treatment group and control group [89.3％(50/56) vs.83.9％ (52/62),x2 =0.736,P =0.391].The adverse reaction rate of treatment group was significantly lower than that of control group [8.9％ (5/56) vs.24.2％ (15/62),x2 =4.871,P =0.027].There was no significant difference in recurrence rate between treatment group and control group [14.3％(8/56) vs.11.3％(7/62),x2 =0.004,P =0.948].Conclusions Catheter constant drainage combined with pericardial perfusion lentinan for malignant pericardial effusion caused by lung cancer is safety and effective,and can be widely applied to clinical application.

Objective To explore the potential correlation between fluoride levels of urine and influencing factors in water-high-fluoride areas.Methods In 2010,based on plain area,mountainous area and mixed area (altitudes were 898,2 200,1 460 m,respectively),3 villages of water-high-fluoride areas were selected by purpose sampling;pupils' family members were selected as survey population by cluster sampling.Questionnaire was conducted to collect general information;fluoride contents in urine and drinking water were measured using ionselective electrode.A linear multiple regression was used to examine which factors affected urinary fluoride.Results Totally there were 968 people distributed in plain area (444),mixed area (368) and mountainous area (156),medians of urinary fluoride level were 0.71,1.59 and 1.67 mg/L,respectively,the difference was significant (F =203.90,P ＜0.01);medians of water fluoride level in the three different habitats were 0.50,1.00 and 3.50 mg/L,respectively,the difference was significant (F =331.98,P ＜ 0.01).Age,gender,fluoride contents in drinking waters and habitat explained 33.1％ of urinary fluoride variation.Male had higher urine fluoride than female,older age and higher level fluoride in drinking water contributed to higher fluoride level in urine,higher altitude contributed to higher urinary fluoride.Conclusion Once fluoride content in urine is used to estimate fluoride exposure level among people in high fluoride area,gender and age must be taken in consideration.

Objective The anti-tumor effect by sequential treatment with Newcastle disease virus (NDV) strain 7793 and 5-FU in liver-metastases mice model was evaluated and immune-active response stimulated by sequential therapy was investigated. Methods Liver metastasis mice model was established by intra-peritoneal injection. The model mice were randomly divided into 3 groups, being given PBS (0.1 mL/d,10 d), NDV7793 [512 HU/(kg·d),5 d] and NDV7793[512 HU/(kg·d),5 d] + fluorouracil [5-FU,10 mg/(kg·d),5 d]. The effect on survival time,body weight,liver weight change and the formation of liver metastasis in tumor-bearing mice model were detected after different treatments in evaluating the regression of mice liver metastasis by sequential therapy. The detection of thymus index and IFN-γ concentrations in liver tissue of tumor-bearing mice model may indicate the stimulation of immune-active response by sequential therapy. Results The mean survival time of tumor-bearing mice treated with NDV7793 and 5-Fu sequentially was 32 d , which was significantly higher than those of tumor-bearing mice treated with NDV7793(30 d) or PBS injections (17 d), respectively (P< 0.05); The metastatic foci of tumor-bearing mice treated with NDV and 5-FU sequentially (30.60 ± 9.32) which was significantly less than those of tumor-bearing mice treated with PBS injection (273.30 ± 30.73), (P <0.05), seem quite similar to those treated with NDV (24.83 ± 6.90),(P > 0.05), and the liver weight was lighter than PBS (P < 0.05); Compared with NDV treatment, the decreased thymus index and increased amount of the effector IFN γ were observed in tumor-bearing mice treated with NDV 7793 and 5-FU sequentially (P <0.05). Conclusions The sequential therapy with Newcastle disease virus 7793 strain and 5-FU was observed to co-exert a significant suppressive effect in liver metastases of colon cancer cells in tumor-bearing mice model. Compared with NDV treatment , the survival time of mice model and the induction of antitumor effector molecules were significantly improved after sequential therapy.

Objective To investigate the expression levels of adiponectin and visfatin in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and serum of patients with obesity and chronic periodontitis.Methods The study included 80 patients.Among them,20 were healthy controls (H group),20 had periodontitis (CP group),20 had obesity (OB group),and 20 had both obesity and periodontitis (OB+CP group).The patients' baseline information and clinical parameters were recorded,and the GCF and serum were collected.The concentration of adiponectin and visfatin in the GCF and serum were then assayed using ELISA.Use the SPSS 17.0 software package for statistical analysis.Results The concentration of adiponectin in the serum of the CP group,the OB group,and the OB+CP group were significantly lower than that of the H group (P ＜ 0.05).The concentration of adiponectin in the serum of the OB+CP group was lower than that of both the CP and OB groups (P ＜ 0.05).The concentration of adiponectin in the GCF of the CP group,the OB group,and the H group were higher than that of the OB+CP group (P ＜ 0.05).The concentration of adiponectin in the GCF of the CP group,the OB group,and the H group were lower than that of the OB+CP group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Obesity may aggravate the destruction of periodontal tissue by inhibiting the expression of adiponectin and promoting the expression of visfatin.

Objective:To investigate the attributes and influencing factors of care needs for maternal after perinatal loss, and to provide a reference for promoting maternal physical and mental health and improving the quality of care.Methods:From February to June of 2023, a cross-sectional study was used, 222 maternal after perinatal loss were selected by the convenience sampling method and completed a battery of questionnaires, including a general information questionnaire, the Distress Thermometer (DT), the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), the Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale-Short Form (ATSPPH-SF) and Kano Model-based Questionnaire on Care Needs for Maternal after Perinatal Loss.Results:A total of 207 maternal after perinatal loss were included in the complete data, (31.12±4.55) years old, (68.64 ± 10.70) of PSSS, (16.10 ± 3.43) of ATSPPH-SF. The care needs for maternal after perinatal loss included 4 must-be quality, 8 one-dimensional quality and 13 attractive quality. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that education level ( t=2.28), the PSSS score ( t=2.15) and the ATSPPH-SF score ( t=3.94) were the main influencing factors of care needs for maternal after perinatal loss (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Health care professionals should gradually improve the nursing service system according to the priority division of care needs attributes of maternal after perinatal loss, and develop personalized care according to different influencing factors.

Objective:To learn about the incidence of hypertension in residents of arsenic exposure areas of Togtoh County, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and to analyze the influencing factors of hypertension.Methods:In Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Ciweigou of Togtoh County, a drinking water-type endemic arsenic poisoning area, and Lanjiayao of Horinger County, a non-arsenic poisoning area with similar living habits and economic conditions, permanent residents who had lived for ≥10 years were selected as the survey subjects. Totally 116 residents of Ciweigou (exposure group) and 68 residents of Lanjiayao (control group) were included in the survey. Blood pressure was measured and the contents of arsenic, selenium, lead and chromium in urine were detected, multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of hypertension.Results:The detection rates of hypertension in exposure group and control group were 53.45% (62/116) and 70.59% (48/68), respectively, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ 2 = 5.33, P = 0.022). The contents of arsenic, selenium and chromium in urine of exposure group were higher than those of control group, and the content of lead in urine was lower than that of control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( Z = 13.04, 6.34, 11.28, - 9.91, P < 0.001). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that female, age ≥60 years old and high urinary arsenic content were the influencing factors of hypertension [odds ratio ( OR) = 2.074, 2.004, 0.424, 95% confidence interval ( CI): 1.113 - 3.866, 1.035 - 3.879, 0.219 - 0.820] in arsenic exposure areas. Conclusion:Female, age ≥60 years old and high urinary arsenic content are the influencing factors of hypertension in arsenic exposure areas of Togtoh County, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

Background: Twenty-four-hour urinary free cortisol (UFC) measurement is the initial diagnostic test for Cushing’s syndrome (CS). We compared UFC determination by both direct and extraction immunoassays using Abbott Architect, Siemens Atellica Solution, and Beckman DxI800 with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). In addition, we evaluated the value of 24-hr UFC measured by six methods for diagnosing CS. Methods: Residual 24-hr urine samples of 94 CS and 246 non-CS patients were collected.A laboratory-developed LC-MS/MS method was used as reference. UFC was measured by direct assays (D) using Abbott, Siemens, and Beckman platforms and by extraction assays (E) using Siemens and Beckman platforms. Method was compared using Passing–Bablok regression and Bland–Altman plot analyses. Cut-off values for the six assays and corresponding sensitivities and specificities were calculated by ROC analysis. Results: Abbott-D, Beckman-E, Siemens-E, and Siemens-D showed strong correlations with LC-MS/MS (Spearman coefficient r = 0.965, 0.922, 0.922, and 0.897, respectively), while Beckman-D showed weaker correlation (r = 0.755). All immunoassays showed proportionally positive bias. The areas under the curve were 0.975 for Abbott-D, 0.972 for LCMS/MS, 0.966 for Siemens-E, 0.948 for Siemens-D, 0.955 for Beckman-E, and 0.877 for Beckman-D. The cut-off values varied significantly (154.8–1,321.5 nmol/24 hrs). Assay sensitivity and specificity ranged from 76.1% to 93.2% and from 93.0% to 97.1%, respectively. Conclusions Commercially available immunoassays for measuring UFC show different levels of analytical consistency compared to LC-MS/MS. Abbott-D, Siemens-E, and Beckman-E have high diagnostic accuracy for CS.

Objective:To evaluate the impact of assisted reproductive technology (ART) on postpartum breastfeeding outcomes.Methods:This paper electronically retrieved the China Biology Medicine disc, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, WanFang Data, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library. The search period was from database establishment to March 15, 2023. After independent literature search, screening, data extraction, and quality evaluation by two researchers, Meta-analysis was conducted using R 4.2.2 software.Results:A total of 11 articles were included. Meta-analysis showed that compared with naturally conceived mothers, the rates of exclusive breastfeeding at 1th week postpartum ( RR=0.84, 95% CI: 0.73-0.97), exclusive breastfeeding at 6th months postpartum ( RR=0.77, 95% CI: 0.61-0.98), and the incidence of breastfeeding for >6 months postpartum ( RR=0.71, 95% CI: 0.53-0.96) were decreased, and the rate of artificial feeding at 12th months postpartum ( RR=1.09, 95% CI: 1.02-1.17) was increased. However, there were no statistically significant differences in the rate of artificial feeding at 8th months postpartum, the incidence of breastfeeding duration >12 months, and the incidence of breastfeeding difficulties ( P>0.05) . Conclusions:ART reduces the rate of exclusive breastfeeding in postpartum 1th week and 6th months, and the incidence of postpartum breastfeeding duration>6 months, and increases the artificial feeding rate in postpartum 12th months. However, the impact of ART on the incidence of breastfeeding difficulties is not yet clear and still needs to be further demonstrated by high-quality studies.

OBJECTIVE：To study the improvement effects of isopimpinelline on p-chlorophenylalanine（PCPA）-induced pineal injury model rats and its effect on expression of biological clock gene. METHODS ：Totally 60 rats were divided into blank control group（2％ polysorbate solution），model control group （2％ polysorbate solution），positive control group （melatonin，10 mg/kg） and isopimpinelline high-dose ，medium-dose and low-dose groups （3，1.5，0.75 mg/kg）. Except for blank control group ，rats in other groups were given PCPA intraperitoneally （450 mg/kg）to establish pineal injury model. After modeling finished ，they were given relevant medicine intragastrically ，once a day ，for consecutive 7 d. On the 6th day of administration ，the sleep latency and sleep duration of rats in each group were investigated by pentobarbital sodium coordination sleep test ；after last administration ， ELISA assay was used to determine the serum level of melatonin in rats. Fluorescence microscope and electron microscope were used to observe the pathological tissue and cell ultrastructure changes of the pineal gland. RT-qPCR was used to detect the mRNA expressions of biological clock gene Clock，Bmal1，Per1，Per2，Per3，Cry1，Cry2 in pineal gland of rats. RESULTS ：Compared with blank control group ，model control group had significantly longer sleep latency （P＜0.05）；serum melatonin ，mRNA expressions of Bmal1 and Per1 in pineal gland were significantly decreased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）while mRNA expression of Per3 was increased significantly （P＜0.05）. The pineal gland cell arrangement disorder ，nuclear pyknosis ，vacuolar degeneration increased and cell number decreased significantly ；mitochondria swollen ，cristae broken and pyknosis were observed. Compared with model control group ，the sleep latency of isopimpinelline high-dose group was shortened significantly （P＜0.05），sleep duration time was prolonged significantly （P＜0.05）；the levels of melatonin in serum ，mRNA expressions of Clock，Bmal1， Per1，Cry1 and Cry2 in pineal gland of rats were increased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. In isopimpinelline medium-dose group，the sleep latency was shortened significantly （P＜0.05）；the levels of melatonin in serum and mRNA expressions of Clock， Bmal1，Per1，Cry1，Cry2 in pineal gland were increased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01），while mRNA expression of Per3 was decreased significantly （P＜0.05）. In isopimpinelline low-dose group ，the levels of mRNA expressions of Clock，Bmal1，Per2 and Cry2 were increased significantly （P＜0.05），while mRNA expression of Per3 was decreased significantly （P＜0.05）. Cell arrangement disorder was improved and nuclear pyknosis vacuole degeneration was decreased to some extent in isopimpinelline groups；mitochondria swelled ，cristae fractured ，and pyknosis decreased to some extent. CONCLUSIONS ：Isopimpinelline can improve PCPA-induced pineal gland injury in rats ；it can up-regulate the expressions of positive regulators Clock，Bmal1 and negative regulators Per1，Per2，Cry1，Cry2，while down-regulate the expression of negative regulator Per3.
