Objective To investigate the predictive value of umbilical cord blood bilirubin for pathological jaundice in healthy term newborns. Methods Two ml navel string vein blood of baby were collected after giving birth in the normal newborn, and the hemobilirubin was detected by accidentally oxidation method. After birth, the infant's bilirubin level was tested on the forehead by the transcutaneous bilirubinometer at 8:00 -9:00 every morning until discharging from hospital. The ration of pathological jaundice of newborn and its treatment were analyzed in different levels of cord blood hemobilirubin. Results Fifty-nine cases ( 22.96% ) with pathological jaundice were diagnosed in 257 newboms.The concentration of cord blood hemobilirubin in baby with pathological jaundice [(39.68 ±8.10) μmol/L] was significantly higher than that of the normal newborn [(30.05 ±5.51) μmol/L](P<0.01). As the concentration of cord blood hemobilirubin was increased, the incidence of pathological jaundice was raised (P< 0.01), and the cases that needed to intervention treatment was increased(P< 0.01). Conclusion The detection of the level of cord blood hemobilirubin is not only very worthy to estimate the occurrence of pathological jaundice of newborn, but also offer reliable evidence for clinical early diagnosis and treatment.

BACKGROUND: Insulin resistance may be a risk factor for hypertension,but the relationship between insulin resistance and hypertension are quite different from different race or nationalities. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the relationship between insulin resistance and hypertension in Chinese Mongolian population.DESIGN: Prevalent investigation.SETTING: Staff Room of Epidemiology, Public Health College of Harbin Medical University. PARTICIPANTS: Totally 232 patients with primary hypertension and persons with normal blood pressure, aged from 30-60 years from Kezuohouqi of Tongliao city in June 2001 based on the prevalent survey, and they all Mongoloid population. Examination was performed and blood pressure was measured. They were involved in this investigation after signing the consent. Other cardiovascular disease patients were excluded.METHODS: A total of 115 patients with primary hypertension and 117normotensives were selected with cluster sampling method. Height, body mass, waistline, hip line and waist-to hip ratio (WHR), I.e. Waist line/ hip line were standardization method. Body mass index (BMI) < 24 kg/m2 or waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) < 0.9, body mass or somatotype was partial to normal. Blood glucose was detected with glucose meter. Radio-immunoassay (RIA) were utilized to measure insulin and C-peptide. Degree of insulin resistance was determined by means of insulin sensitivity index (ISI), ISI =-ln [glucose (mmol/L) × insulin (Mu/L)]. After considering the effect of BMI and WHR as well as the stratification of BMI (≥24 kg/m2 and < 24 kg/m2) and WHR (≥ 0.9 and < 0.9), statistical analysis was performed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ISI of the investigational subjects of the two groups. RESULTS: Totally 232 included investigational subjects were involved in the result analysis, without drop out. ①Comparison of ISI of the investigational subjects of the two groups: The ISI of the hypertension group was slightly lower than that of the normotensive group, but the difference was not significant [-3.56±0.27,-3.50±0.20(P > 0.05)]. ②Comparison of ISI of the investigational subjects of the two groups after delamination according to BMI and WHR: When the BMI was less than 24, the ISI in the hypertension group was lower distinctly than that in the normotensive group [-3.56+0.27,-3.48±0.17(F=5.037, P < 0.05)]. When the WHR was less than 0.9, the ISI of the hypertension group was lower dramatically than that in the normotensive group [-3.57+0.27,-3.49+0.20(F=4.537, P < 0.05 )].CONCLUSION: The insulin resistance may be related to primary hypertension in non-obese Chinese Mongolian population.

Objective To explore the nursing method for the prevention and treatment of vaginal adhesions in patients treated with full-dose radiotherapy for cervical cancer. Methods From 2015 to 2016, 80 cervical cancer patients who received radiotherapy were treated with domestic vaginal washing, vaginal local use of"Fufangbao", infection control, diet and sexual rehabilitation guidance, and so on, and the nursing outcome was evaluated. Results Of the 80 patients, 6 were lost during follow-up, resulting in a follow-up rate of 925%. Ten, five, and three patients were found to have grade 1, 2, and 3 vaginal toxicity, respectively. The patients with grade 1 vaginal toxicity were not treated with special treatment and were asked to do more vaginal washing. The patients with grade 2 and 3 vaginal toxicity were treated with daily vaginal washing and"Fufangbao" for repairing the vagina;vaginal adhesions disappeared or improved 3 months later. The patients with no vaginal adhesions had regular sexual intercourse and thus had improved quality of life. Conclusions Effective clinical nursing can reduce the incidence of vaginal adhesions and stenosis, improve patients' quality of life, and promote the harmony of family.

Objective To explore the establishment of a two-way referral system for the treatment of cervical diseases within a medical alliance. The two-way referral system was introduced to reduce the morbidity and mortality of cervical cancer through better management of patients'who have tested positive for cervical disease, screening effectively for early diagnosis and treatment of cervical precancerous lesions, and providing early interventions for cervical cancer patients. Methods The control group consisted of 2, 515 patients who had screened positive for cervical disease between January 2018 and December 2018 at one of four community health service centers that were not within the medical alliance. The experimental group consisted of 2, 384 patients who had screened positive for cervical disease at one of four community health service centers in the medical alliance. The control group was treated using the original management mode;the experimental group's treatment was managed within the two-way referral system, which included standardized screening, referral, follow-up, health education, and professional training. The hospital visit rates, time intervals from diagnosis to the start of interventions, detection rates, and treatment rates were observed for both groups of women. Results The hospital visit rates, detection rates, and treatment rates were higher for those in the experimental group than the control group. The time interval from receiving a diagnosis to the first hospital visit was (16.9±11.5) days for patients in the experimental group and (25.7±20.9)days for those in the control group. The difference was a statistically significant (-0.05). Conclusion The management of cases in a two-way referral system within a medical alliance facilitates patients receiving earlier diagnosis and treatment for cervical pre-cancerous lesions and malignant tumors. Such efficiency improvements may reduce morbidity and mortality as well as help control medical costs, all of which have long-term economic and social significance.

Objective:To analyze clinical and immunoserological features of patients with anti-p200 pemphigoid.Methods:Clinical data were collected from patients with confirmed anti-p200 pemphigoid in Hospital of Dermatology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 2015 to October 2021, and their clinical and immunoserological characteristics were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Seven patients with anti-p200 pemphigoid were included. Indirect immunofluorescence on salt-split skin (IIF-SSS) showed that serum IgG antibodies of the 7 patients were located in the dermis of the salt-split skin, and Western blot analysis with dermal extracts as substrates revealed a protein band with a relative molecular mass of 200 000. Four patients presented with classic bullous pemphigoid-like skin lesions, 2 initially presented with eczematous lesions, and 1 presented with linear IgA bullous dermatosis-like skin lesions. Circulating IgG antibodies could recognize the recombinant laminin γ1 C-terminal region in 6 cases. Four patients received different doses of systemic glucocorticoids, 1 of whom was resistant to high-dose systemic glucocorticoids (equivalent to 1.4 mg·kg -1·d -1 prednisone) ; 2 responded well to minocycline and dapsone; 1 was lost to follow-up. Four patients achieved complete remission and discontinued the treatment at a mean follow-up of 22.5 months; 2 received complete remissiona on minimal therapy at a mean follow-up of 8 months. Conclusion:Patients with anti-p200 pemphigoid presented with heterogeneous clinical manifestations, and the recombinant C-terminal fragment of laminin γ1 can serve as a reliable antigen substrate for the detection of autoantibodies in patients with anti-p200 pemphigoid; some patients can eventually achieve complete remission off treatment.
