1.Relationship between Prader-Willi syndrome and sleep related breathing disorders
International Journal of Pediatrics 2016;43(9):669-672
Prader-Willi syndrome( PWS) is a type of genetic disease,which is associated with low mus-cle tone,growth and development,progressive fatal obesity and sleep related respiratory disorders(SRBD). Ob-structive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome( OSAHS) is the most common type of SRBD. The cause,influencing factors and treatment of OSAHS in patients with PWS are described in this paper. To understand the degree of OSAHS in children with PWS,the polysomnography is recommended.

Objective To discuss the intervention effect of four oral care model on compliance of atomizing inhalation and mouth and throat complications in outpatient infants and young children patients. Methods A total of 480 cases of children patients using budesonide inhalation for the treatment of respiratory tract infection were divided into the observation group(n=260)and the control group (n=220) according to the time sequence. The control group received conventional nursing, the observation group used quaternity oral care model in nursing care. The compliance and occurrence of complications in the mouth and throat were observed between the two groups. Results In the observation group with nebulae inhalation compliance was 79.2% (206/260), evidently higher than that in the control group the compliance of 58.6%(129/220) (χ2=23.97,P<0.01). The incidence of oral herpes and ulcers in the control group was 2.73%(6/220), and 0.77%(2/260) in the observation group, but no significant difference was seen (χ2=2.79, P>0.05). The incidence of thrushes was 3.64%(8/220) in the control group, and none occurred in the observation group, which showed significant difference (χ2=9.62, P<0.01). Conclusions Using quaternity oral care model in corticosteroid nebulae inhalation patientscan increase compliance and decreasecomplications of oral and throat of outpatient children.

Objective To observe the effect of curcumin on the expression of smad7 and TGF-β1 in rats renal tubular cells of with Ang II, and discuss the mechanism of curcumin to improve renal interstitial fibrosis.Methods Cultured rat renal tubular epithelial cells were divided into the blank group, the Ang II control group and the low, medium and high dose curcumin group. The rest of the groups were intervened by 10-8 mol/L Ang II except the blank group; the low, medium and high dose groups of curcumin were intervened by 2.5, 5.0, 10.0μmol/L curcumin. Then Western blot was used to detect the expression of TGF-β1 and smad7 protein, RT-PCR was used to detect the TGF-β1 and smad7 mRNA expression.Results Compared with the blank group, the expression of TGF-β1 protein (0.23 ± 0.03vs. 0.16 ± 0.01), and TGF-β1 mRNA (1.89 ± 0.20vs. 1.00 ± 0.00) significantly increasedin AngⅡ control group (P<0.05), and the expression of smad7 protein (0.19 ± 0.03vs. 0.24 ± 0.02), and smad7 mRNA (0.48 ± 0.05vs. 1.00 ± 0.00) significantly reduced in AngⅡcontrol group (P<0.05). Compared with the AngⅡ control group, the expression of TGF-β1 protein in low, medium and high dose curcumingroup (0.18 ± 0.02, 0.17 ± 0.02, 0.16 ± 0.03vs. 0.23 ± 0.03) and TGF-β1 mRNA (1.58 ± 0.11, 1.34 ± 0.16, 0.97 ± 0.19vs. 1.89 ± 0.20) significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the expression of smad7 protein (0.28 ± 0.04, 0.31 ± 0.03, 0.34 ± 0.04vs. 0.19 ± 0.03) and smad7 mRNA (0.68 ± 0.07, 0.80 ± 0.06, 0.98 ± 0.09vs.0.48 ± 0.05) increased significantly (P<0.05).Conclusions Curcumin can thus play its role in renal protection by counteract the AngⅡ mediated renal interstitial fibrosis. Its mechanism may be related to the reduction of TGF-β1 protein and its mRNA expression, up regulation of smad7 protein and its mRNA expression.

Objective To investigate the status and influencing factors of cooperation of doctors and nurses in the nutritional support of critically ill patients, and provide the basis for future improve the physician-nurse collaboration in the nutritional support. Methods Doctors and nurses who from ICU in Soochow were investigated by the Nurse-Physician Collaboration Scale (NPCS). Results The doctors′score of physician-nurse collaboration in the nutritional support of critically ill patients was 87.42 ±15.73, which was significantly higher than 80.97 ± 13.80 the nurses′(t=3.279, P= 0.001).In addition, under the item 1, 3, 5 in the dimension one as well as the total items in the dimensions two and three, the doctors′score was similarly higher than the nurses, and the differences are also statistically significant (Z=-3.894--1.964, all P<0.01 or 0.05). Technical titles, educational level and age was significantly related to the cooperative level between doctors and nurses respectively (χ2=11.037, P=0.012;F=3.488, P=0.037; F=3.499, P=0.016). Conclusions Doctors have higher levels of perceived collaboration than nurses in the nutritional support of critically ill patients, while both require further improvement. We should highlight the physician-nurse collaboration in feeding critically ill patients, and should improve the nutrition quality through standardized process management and active team cooperation.

Objective:To investigate the expression of maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3), a long non-coding RNA gene, in gastric can-cer tissues;determine the relationship of MEG3 with the prognosis of gastric cancer;and explore the relationship between MEG3 and apoptosis-associated protein P53 as well as murine double minute 2 (MDM2). Methods:Fifty-five consecutive patients with gastric cancer admitted to Qingdao Municipal Hospital for surgical treatment from September 2012 to June 2013 were included in this study. Gastric cancer and paired normal tissues were collected. The expression of MEG3 was tested through real-time quantitative poly-merase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Western blot analysis was used to detect the expression of P53 and MDM2 in gastric cancer and eval-uate their correlations with MEG3. Results:The expression of MEG3 decreased in cancer tissues (7.98±0.19) relative to the correspond-ing normal tissues (9.47±0.18) (P<0.05). P53 and MDM2 showed negative relationships in the gastric cancer and normal tissues. A posi-tive relationship was found between P53 and MEG3 (r=0.591, P<0.05), whereas a negative relationship was found between MDM2 and MEG3 (r=?0.346, P<0.05). The median survival time was significantly prolonged in patients with high MEG3 expression compared with patients with low MEG3 expression. Conclusion:MEG3 exerts an inhibiting effect on the development of gastric cancer. MEG3, P53, and MDM2 may have important relationships in the biological mechanisms of gastric cancer development. Detecting the expression level of MEG3 may be useful for the prognosis of gastric cancer.
