Objective To investigate the accuracy of computer-assisted interpretation(CAI)in the diagnosis of pediatric critical arrhythmia,and to establish Logistic regression model to evaluate the main risk factors of CAI error.Methods 1147 cases of arrhythmia patients were divided into heart disease(HD)and nonheart disease group(NHD).Candidate risk factors were chosen,from which the vailables statistically significant were entered for logistic regression analysis.Results CAI error rate of HD group and NHD group were 24.9%and 11.4%,showing a significant difference(P＜0.05).Age,underlying diseases,the number of CAI diagnosis entries were the risk factors.Conclusion CAI error pattern was different among HD group and the NHD group.Higher awareness for CAI error risk factors and CAI technology improvement are critical for a lower CAI error rate.

The effects of the destruction of the periaqueductal gray matter(PAG)on the memory-enhancement by intraperitoneal injection of arginine vasopressin(AVP)were observed in rats.Rats with either sham lesions or electrolytic destruction of the bilateral PAG were trained in a shuttle box for active avoidance response(AAR).After the rats met the criterion of 80% correctness,an intraperitoneal injection of 6?g/kg of AVP or 0.2ml of saline was given.Extinction of AAR was assessed in the rats.It was found that AVP markedly retarded the extinction of AAR in rats with sham lesion,and the extinction of the rats with destroyed PAG was significantly faster than that of the rats with sham lesion.The above mentioned findings suggest that AVP can act on the central nervous system to enhance memory mediated probably through PAG.This observation provides further support for the suggestion that certain limbic midebrain structures are involved in the memory enhancement by AVP.

Objective To evaluate the relationship of metabolic syndrome (MS) and MS components with thyroid nodule. Methods A total of 10 357 subjects ( age ＞ 18 years old) who received physical checkup at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University between June 2009 and June 2010 were enrolled in this retrospective study. Anthropometric parameter, fasting plasma glucose (FPG),serum lipid profile, blood uric acid, alanine aminotransferase and thyroid ultrasonography were measured. Results The prevalence of thyroid nodule,MS,and thyroid nodule + MS was 46. 96% ,23. 6%,and 11.6%, respectively. The prevalence of thyroid nodule was significantly higher in MS patients than in non MS patients ( 75.9% vs 38. 0%, P ＜ 0. 05 ). Multifactor logistic analysis showed that MS, body mass index (BMI) and FBG (β vales were 0. 78,1.22,and 0. 62,respectively; odds ratios were 4. 167,3. 876,and 2. 359, respectively; all P ＜ 0. 05 ) were independently correlated with the development of thyroid nodule. Conclusions Significantly increased prevalence of thyroid nodule could be found in MS patients. BMI and FBG may be independent risk factors of thyroid nodule.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics,antimicrobial restistance of bloodstream infections (bacteremia) caused by multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter and analyze the outcomes of antibacterial therapy.Methods The clinical data were reviewed retrospectively for 74 patients with bloodstream infection caused by multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter who were trea-ted in HuaShan hospital from January 2005 to December 2011 .Results During the 6-year period,74 patients were diagnosed with multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter bacteremia,73 of which were nosocomial infections.The remaining one was community-acquired. Primary bloodstream infection accounted for 51 .4% (38/74),and secondary infection 48.6% (36/74), mainly secondary to pulmonary infections (23.0%,17/74). Solid tumor was the most common underlying disease (24.3%,18/74).Prior corticosteroid therapy,indwelling deep venous catheter,surgery and invasive procedures were predisposing factors of bacteremia. Acinetobacter-related bloodstream infections were associated with higher white blood cell count,increased neutrophil percentage,higher APACHE II score and lower serum albumin level.The bloodstream infection was caused by Acinetobacter baumannii in 65 pa-tients,Acinetobacter lwoffi in 7 patients,both Acinetobacter baumannii and Acinetobacter junii in one patient.The all-cause mortality rate was 27.0% (20/74).In vitro susceptibility testing showed that 20.0% (15/75 )of the Acinetobacter isolates were resistant to cefoperazone-sulbactam,which was the lowest among all the antibiotics tested.About 40.0% to 42.7% of the isolates were resistant to carbapenems.The outcome was related to the antimicrobial restistance.Carbapenem non-suscepti-ble Acinetobacter was associated with poorer outcome compared with carbapenem-susceptible Acinetobacter (mortality 46.9%vs 11 .9%,P <0.05 ).Cefoperazone-sulbactam non-susceptible Acinetobacter was also associated with poorer outcome com-pared with cefoperazone-sulbactam susceptible Acinetobacter (mortality 40.0% vs 18.2%,P <0.05).Of the 32 patients who had infections with carbapenem-non-susceptible Acinetobacter,20 received sulbactam-containing antimicrobial agent.The mor-tality of these 20 patients was 20.0% (4/20),significantly lower than that of the 12 patients who did not receive sulbactam-containing antimicrobial agent (66.7%).Conclusions Majority of the bloodstream infections caused by multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter are nosocomial infections.Surgical operation and serious condition may predispose the patients to develop Acine-tobacter bacteremia.Acinetobacter isolates are highly resistant to commonly used antibiotics.The Acinetobacter isolates not susceptible to carbapenem or cefoperazone-sulbactam are associated with poorer outcome and higher mortality.More attention should be paid to prevention and control of Acinetobacter-related nosocomial infections.

Objective To determine the relationship between normal weight obesity (NOW) and cardiovascular risk factors.MethodsA total of 940 adults who received a health examination in out hospital were recruited in a cross-sectional study,and 407 with a body mass index (BMI) of18.5 to 25 kg/m2were enrolled for further analysis.Body fat percentage ( BF％ ) was measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA),and the subjects were assigned to the NOW group ( BF％ ≥25％ for male or BF％ ≥35％for female) or the control group ( BF％ ＜ 25％ for male or BF％ ＜ 35％ for female).Cardiovascular risk factors and their detection rates were compared between the two groups by using independent sample t test and x2 test.The correlationbetweenNOW and cardiovascular risk factors was assessedbylogistic regression.Results The prevalence of NOW in men and women were13.1％ and14.9％,respectively.The prevalence of NOW was increased with age ( x2 =6.90,P ＜0.05 ).Systolic blood pressure (SBP),diastolic blood pressure ( DBP ),total cholesterol ( TC ),triglycerides ( TG ),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( LDL-C) and serum uric acid (SUA) were significantly increased in the NOW group (t values were 2.97,2.44,2.54,5.09,2.71and 3.91,respectively; all P ＜ 0.05 ) ; whereas high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( HDL-C) was significantly decreased in the NOW group (t =-3.90,P ＜ 0.05 ).The prevalence of hypertension,hyperglycemia,high triglyceride,low HDL-C,dyslipidmia and hyperuricemia was increased in the NOW group in comparison with the control group ( x2 values were 6.76,5.58,14.50,11.97,10.97 and 8.76,respectively;allP＜ 0.05 ).LogisticregressionshowedNOWincreasedtheriskof hypertension,hyperglycemia,dyslipidmia or hyperuricemia by 2.186,2.120,2.088 or 4.175 times.After adjustment for age and gender,the risk for hyperuricemia was decreased to 3.491,but remained statistically significant higher.Conclusions NOW may be correlated with cardiovascular risk factors,and those with NOW could be at higher risk for cardiovascular diseases.

Objective:To discuss the dosimetric contribution of the ovoid in the cervical cancer brachytherapy through the intracavity combined with interstitial(IC/IS)technique.Methods:The data on 20 patients with FIGO(2009)stageⅡ A, Ⅱ B or Ⅲ Bcervical cancer treated with radical radiotherapy in China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University during 2015-2017 was collected. External irradiation treatment was 45 Gy/1.8 Gy× 25 fractions. Brachytherapy was MRI-guided IC/IS brachytherapy with a prescription of 28 Gy/7 Gy× 4 fractions. All of 20 patients developed two kinds of plans, the ovoid group and the non-ovoid group. The original MRI-guided brachytherapy treatment plan was set(80 fractions)to the ovoid group. As contrast model that removed the ovoid and consisted of tandem combined with needles set to the non-ovoid group was built, and the same physicist designed the plan to make the dose of D90% for high-risk clinical target volume(HR-CTV)similar to the ovoid group. The dosimetric differences of the D90% and D98% for HR-CTV, D90% and D98% for intermediate-risk clinical target volume(IR-CTV)and D2 cm 3 for the bladder, rectum, sigmoid colon and small intestines between two groups of plans were analyze by paired t-test. Results:Compared with the ovoid group, the non-ovoid group showed no significant difference on HR-CTV D90%( P>0.05), but the HR-CTV D98%(6.99±0.60 vs. 6.78±0.76), IR-CTV D90%(4.71±0.58 vs. 4.26±0.57) and D98%(3.77±0.58 vs. 3.26±0.59) of the non-ovoid group decreased significantly( t=3.906, 9.860, 8.636, P<0.05). The sigmoid colon showed no significant difference( P>0.05), while the bladder (5.29±0.67 vs. 4.92±0.74), rectum (3.72±0.69 vs. 3.35±0.92) and small intestines (3.05±1.37 vs. 2.98±1.34) D2 cm 3of the non-ovoid group decreased significantly( t=8.758, 7.543, 8.059, P<0.05). Conclusions:Ovoid is very important for IC/IS technique in cervical cancer brachytherapy. Reasonable optimization of the dose weight ratio of the ovoid and the needle can bring better clinical benefits.

Objective To study the levels of senlm uric acid(UA)in normal glucose(NC),impaired glucose regulation(IGR)and type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM),and investigate its relationship with insulin resistance and dyslipidemia.Method The levels of blood glucose,lipids,fasting insulin(HNS)and serum UA were measured in patients of 45 T2DM(T2DM group),20 IGR(IGR group)and 29 NC(NC group).Status of insulin resistance and insulin secretion function was evaluated by HOMA-IR and ISI.Results The levels of triglyceride(TG)and UA in T2DM group and IGR group were significantly higher than those in NC group[(3.34±8.77),(1.85±0.67),(1.26±0.38)mmoi/L and(316.71±96.20),(403.62±76.80),(325.45±94.43)mmol/L](P<0.01).HDL-C levels in T2DM group were significantly lower than those in IGR and NC group[(1.05±0.30),(1.07±0.21),(1.12±0.20)mmol/L](P<0.01).NO significant difference of FINS levels was found in the three groups.HOMA-IR level in T2DM and IGR group was higher than that in NC group(3.84,3.77,2.34)(P<0.01).ISI in T2DM and IGR group was lower than that in NC group(-4.52±0.79,-4.44±0.19,-4.03±0.58)(P<0.01).Correlation analysis indicated that the level of UA was positively related with BMI.TG and negatively related with HDL-C.Conclusion Increased UA in IGR indicates that hyperurieacidemia developes before DM.

A PP plastic film for food packaging (0. 1 mm) was prepared by adding two antioxidants of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methyl-phenol(BHT) and pentaerythritol tetrakis ( 3-( 3, 5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl ) propionate)(Irganox 1010) with different concentrations into polypropylene (PP) resin, then mixing extrusion granulate by the double screw plastic extruder and hot pressing the film at 190℃. The migration amount of the two antioxidants in food simulants (95% ethanol) was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with diode array detector (PDA) (detection wavelength is 282 nm). The migration of BHT was detected and Irganox 1010 was not detected. Based on the large amount of experimental data, the migration model was fitted by a software, then the migration model of antioxidant BHT was established, the applicability of the two migration model was compared with the actual data. The results showed that the fitting degree ( R2 ) of Weibull model to the actual migration result was greater than 0. 99 and better than Piringer model. It was found that there was a mathematical relationship as τ≈12. 2 ( L2/D) between parameters of Weibull model and Piringer model.

ObjectiveTo develop a simple scoring system to identify individuals with higher risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus ( T2DM ).Methods Major risk factors of T2DM were fixed after literature review.Logistic regression was used to select risk factors of T2DM.Target populations were randomly assigned to 2 groups,and group A was used for the development of risk factor scoring method and group B for the confirmation of this new method.Results The threshold for T2DM risk was 65.0 for men and 65.5 for women ( sensitivity 90.6％ and 83.3％,respectively; specificity 89.4％ and 97.7％,respectively ; positive predictive value 58.8％and 80.0％,respectively;negative predictive value 98.3％and 98.2％,respectively ; area under the curve 0.955 and 0.899,respectively).There was significant difference of T2DM detection between screening and risk scoring system ( P =0.000 ).Conclusion Our T2DM risk scoring system may provide an effective tool to identify individuals with a higher risk of developing T2DM.

Objective To determine the influence of gender on the association between serum uric acid and branchial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV).Methods Cross-sectional data from 1418 adults who underwent routine laboratory tests and baPWV measurements were analyzed in a gender-specific manner.BaPWV≥ 1400 cm/s was defined as abnormality.The individuals were assigned to four groups (Q1,Q2,Q3 and Q4) according to the gender-specific quartiles of serum uric acid.The relationship between serum uric acid and the baPWV values was assessed by Spearman's correlation coefficients.In female,the relationship of serum uric acid quartiles with baPWV was evaluated by logistic regression analysis.Results In male and female,diastolic blood pressure,fasting blood glucose,triglyceride and body mass index were increased with serum uric acid level,in contrast to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.The Spearman's correlation coefficient for the relationship between serum uric acid and baPWV was 0.18 in female and-0.05 in male (P =0.16).In female,univariate logistic regression analysis showed that in comparison with group Q1,odds ratio (OR) value of baPWV abnormality of group Q4 was 2.45 (95％confidence interval (CI) 1.48 to 4.06).In multivariate logistic regression,after adjusting for creatine and estimated glomerular filtration rate,OR value of baPWV abnormality of group Q4 was 2.45 (95％ CI 1.48 to 4.06) when compared with group Q1.However,after adjustment for age and other risk factors of cardiovascular diseases,there were no significant differents in ORs among serum uric acid quartile groups.Conclusions The association between serum uric acid level and baPWV in female may depend on age and metabolic syndrome components.
