Objective To investigate awareness of definition, diagnostic criteria, severity classification and standard diagnosis and treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) among primary-care physicians at the grassroots in urban and suburban Shanghai.Methods In total, 298 physicians were surveyed by unified questionnaire for COPD-related knowledge in two secondary-care general hospitals (one in urban and suburban areas each ) and 12 community primary-care centers (four in urban and eight in suburban areas) in Shanghai.One hundred and fifteen physicians in two urban hospitals and one suburban hospital were trained professionally and then evaluated for its effectiveness.Results Awareness of diagnostic criteria of COPD was only 22.4% (35/156), 25.6% ( 10/39), 4.3 % (3/69)and 26.5% (9/34) among physicians in urban primary-care hospitals, urban secondary-care hospitals,suburban primary-care hospitals and suburban secondary-care hospitals, respectively.Their awareness of knowledge about use of anti-cholinergic agents was 13.5 % (21/156), 35.9 % ( 14/39), naught (0/69),and 14.7 % ( 5/34 ), respectively.Only 0.67 % of them ( 2/298 ) knew about severity classification of COPD.Awareness of definition and diagnostic criteria for COPD in the physicians increased to 72.2 % ( 83/115) after training from 18.2% (21/115) before it, and their awareness of severity classification for COPD increased to 45.2% (52/115) after training from 0.8 % (1/115) before it.Conclusions Awareness of COPD-related knowledge, especially of standard diagnosis and treatment for COPD, was poor in primary-care physicians at the grassroots in Shanghai, so it is necessary to strengthen training for them in COPD-related knowledge, including pulmonary function tests.

OBJECTIVETo identify products decomposed in high temperature water and alcohol from diester alkaloids such as aconitum alkaloid, in order to study their transformation regularity.

METHODStructures of multiple converted products were determined by analyzing on multistage mass spectrometry of known compounds and literature searching.

RESULTBenzaconine and pyraconitine were the major hydrolysates, while pyraconitine and ethoxy-aconitine were the major alcoholysates from diester alkaloids.

CONCLUSIONPyraconitine alkaloids, as pyrolytic products, are not related to the type of solvent. 8-ethoxy-aconitine alkaloids, as alcoholysates, are related to the type of solvent. This study identifies multiple converted products from alkaloids and summarizes mass spectrometry fragmentation regularity by LC-MS, laying a firm foundation for studies on the transformation of toxic diester alkaloids contained in aconitum and providing a basis for studies on the transformation of alkaloids contained in aconitum during boiling.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship among dream threat level,life events and childhood trauma in obsessive-compulsive patients.Methods 59 obsessive-compulsive patients and 57 healthy controls were tested with Dream Threat Questionnaire (DTQ),Childhood Trauma Questionnaire ( CTQ ) and Life Events Scale (LES).The dream threat level were compared between the two groups,and correlation and regression analysis were used to research the relationship of the variables for patients’ data.ResultsCompared with the healthy controls,patients had significantly higher DTQ score ( 1.40 ± 2.23 vs 3.31 ± 3.04,P ＜ 0.01 ),CTQ total score (34.21 ± 8.47 vs 43.02 ± 10.78,P ＜ 0.01 ),LES total score ( 16.88 ± 16.42 vs 45.39 ± 46.01,P ＜ 0.01 ) and its negtive life events subscore ( 14.14 ± 14.61 vs 39.56 ± 42.94,P ＜ 0.01 ).Correlation analysis showed that dream threat level,negative life events and childhood trauma were significantly positively correlated each other( r =0.326 ～0.402,P ＜ 0.05 ～0.01 ).Regression analysis indicated that childhood trauma directly predicted dream threat level (β =0.104,P ＜ 0.05 ) and completely mediated the relationship between negative life events and dream threat level.ConclusionObsessive-compulsive patients have higher dream threat level,more childhood trauma experience and life events.Childhood trauma experience is a significant factor influencing dream threat level,and as a complete mediation by which life events influence dream threat level.

Objective:To investigate the expression change of blood plasma miRNA-210 (miR-210) in blood plasma for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) before and after radiotherapy and its effect on cell proliferation, cycle, apoptosis of ESCC cells in vitro.Methods:The blood specimens from 22 patients with newly diagnosed ESCC (ESCC group) before and after radical radiotherapy between December 2013 and March 2015 in Linyi People's Hospital of Shandong Province as well as 15 healthy controls (the healthy control group) were collected. miRNA-21 (miR-21) was treated as the positive controls. The real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect the expression level of miR-210 and miR-21 in blood plasma before and after radiotherapy for patients, and the expression of miR-21 in ESCC Eca109 cells at normoxia and hypoxia time. The cell proliferation, cycle and apoptosis of Eca109 cells in untransfected group (the blank control group), miR-21 transfected mimics negative control RNA group (negative control group) and miR-210 transfected mimics RNA group (miR-210 group) were detected by using EdU cell proliferation assay and flow cytometry.Results:A total of 59 plasma samples from ESCC group and the healthy control group were collected. The relative expression level [median ( P25, P75)] of blood plasma miR-210 and miR-21 in ESCC group before radiotherapy was higher than that in the healthy control group, and the difference was statistically significant [4.04×10 -4 (2.06×10 -4, 6.68×10 -4) vs. 0.54×10 -4 (0.28×10 -4, 0.77×10 -4), 397.07×10 -4 (181.77×10 -4, 742.93×10 -4) vs. 127.43×10 -4 (21.97×10 -4, 184.65×10 -4); U value was 37.0, 49.0, respectively, all P < 0.01]. The expression level of miR-210 and miR-21 before radiotherapy in ESCC group was not related with tumor location and differentiation degree (all P > 0.05). After the radical radiotherapy one week later, the relative expression level of miR-210 and miR-21 in blood plasma of ESCC group was 65.33×10 -4 (22.15×10 -4, 160.87×10 -4), 437.23×10 -4 (327.18×10 -4, 749.09×10 -4), respectively, which was higher compared with that before radiotherapy ( U value was 32.0, 154.0, respectively, both P < 0.05), and the increase of miR-210 was more significant. The expression level of miR-210 after hypoxic cultured Eca109 cells for 12 h was increased compared with the normal oxygen with the peak value 12 h later, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.01). EdU cell proliferation assay showed that the Eca109 cell proliferative activity after transfection of 24 h and 48 h in miR-210 group was decreased compared with the negative control group and the blank control group, and the difference was statistically significant (all P < 0.01). Flow cytometry analysis showed that the proportion of G 2/M phase of Eca109 cells in miR-210 group after transfection of 24 h was increased compared with the negative control group and the blank control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05). After transfection of 48 h, the increased proportion in G 2/M phase was more obvious ( P <0.01); there was no statistically difference in the apoptotic cell proportion among three groups after transfection of 24 h and 48 h (all P > 0.05). Conclusions:miR-210 is highly expressed in the blood plasma of ESCC patients, especially the significant increase in the expression level of miR-210 in blood plasma after radical radiotherapy. miR-210 is highly expressed in hypoxic ESCC Eca109 cells. The overexpression of miR-210 can inhibit cell proliferation and its mechanism may be related with cell arrest in G 2/M phase.
