Objective To describe the depression of premature infants′ mothers and discuss the related influence factors. Methods A total of 86 premature infants′ mothers completed Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale at 3-days postpartum in this descriptive study during August 2014 to January 2015 in Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University. Results The prevalence of postpartum depression in premature infants′ mothers was 25.6% (22/86). Educational levels, family support, character, and number of abortion of mothers, pregnancy complication, gestational age, birth weight, Apgar score, length of hospitalization, and birth with abnormalities of premature infants were found significantly associated with postpartum depression (P<0.05). By Logistic regression, family support (OR=3.253, 95% CI=1.180-8.966) and length of hospitalization (OR=2.905, 95% CI=1.418-5.952) were the risk factors of the postpartum depression at 3-days after delivery. Conclusions Premature infants′mothers at 3-days postpartum presented with obvious postpartum depression. Psychological intervention should be focused on its influence factors.

Objective To investigate the imaging features and preoperative staging value of ultrasonic endoscopy and gastrointestinal ultrasonic contrast in the gastric carcinoma examination.Methods One hundred and sixty eight patients with gastric carcinoma verified by operation and pathology in our hospital from October 2010 to October 2015 werecollected.Then their imageological data including ultrasonic endoscopy and gastrointestinal ultrasonic contrast examinations were retrospectively analyzed and compared with the postoperative pathological results.Results The accuracy rate of preoperative T staging in ultrasonic endoscopy was significantly higher than that of gastrointestinal ultrasonic contrast,the difference had statistical significance(P＜0.05);the accuracy rate of preoperative N/M staging in gastrointestinal ultrasonic contrast was s1gnificantly higher than that in ultrasonic endoscopy,the difference had statistical significance(P＜0.05).Conclusion Ultrsonic endoscopy and gastrointestinal ultrasonic contrast have different advantages and values in preoperative staging:ultrasonic endoscopy has higher accuracy rate in the diagnosis of primary gastric carcinoma;gastrointestinal ultrasonic contrast is better in diagnosing metastasis of gastric carcinoma,moreover which shows the consistency with postoperative pathological staging.

BACKGROUND:Electromagnetic fields can cause changes of the body,especially the nervous system.Effect of pulsed electromagnetic fields(PEMFs)on neural stem cells has been detected.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of prenatal pulsed electromagnetic fields(PPEMFs)on neural stem cell proliferation and nestin protein expression in the hippocampus of rat offspdng.METHODS:Sprague Dawley female rats weighing 240-260 g were included and randomly divided into two groups:control and PPEMFs.Rats from the control group were given no interventions.Rats from the PPEMFs group were given PEMFs stress at gestational days 14-20.Each stress was given three times daily for 10 minutes.The male and female offspring rats were sacrificed at 1 month of age and their brains were sectioned to determine the expression of nestin protein and Brdu-positive cells in the hippocampus by immunohistochemistry.RESULTS:The expression of nestin-and Brdu-positive cells in the hippocampus of female and male PEMFS offspring were significantly higher compared with the control group(P<0.001),and there was a significant difference between female and male offspring(P<0.001).The nestin-and Brdu-positive cells in female offspring outnumbered those in male offspring(P<0.001);however,there was no significant difference between female and male offspring in the control group(P>0.05).CONCLUSION:PPEMFs can increase the number and proliferative capability of the neural stem cells in offspring.It may be a pdmary stage of the cascade reaction of the body to the brain damage caused by PPEMFs stress.

Objective: To investigate the achievement of the target for blood glucose control among community patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its influencing factors, so as to provide insights into developing blood glucose management strategies and intervention measures. Methods: Basic information, lifestyle, medication use, disease history, and HbA1c test results of T2DM patients aged 18 years and older and living in Jinshan District, Shanghai Municipality for more than 6 months were collected through Jinshan District Chronic Disease Follow up Management System and district-level information platform. The proportion of blood glucose achieving the control target (HbA1c<7%) was analyzed. Factors affecting the achievement of the target for blood glucose control were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 16 758 T2DM patients were included, with 7 844 males (46.81%) and 8 914 females (53.19%), and a median age of 69.00 (interquartile range, 12.00) years. There were 8 095 patients achieving the blood glucose control target, accounting for 48.31%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that age (60-69 years, OR=0.749, 95%CI: 0.675-0.832; 70-79 years, OR=0.892, 95%CI: 0.801-0.993; ≥80 years, OR=1.238, 95%CI: 1.086-1.411), body mass index (overweight, OR=0.926, 95%CI: 0.863-0.993; obesity, OR=0.800, 95%CI: 0.718-0.891), disease course (6-10 years, OR=0.728, 95%CI: 0.673-0.787; ≥11 years, OR=0.534, 95%CI: 489-0.583), smoking (daily, OR=0.792, 95%CI: 0.730-0.860), drinking (daily, OR=0.788, 95%CI: 0.642-0.967), medication adherence (intermittent, OR=0.293, 95%CI: 0.271-0.317; self discontinuation, OR=0.074, 95%CI: 0.064-0.087), hypertension (OR=0.643, 95%CI: 0.588-0.703) and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (OR=0.671, 95%CI: 0.563-0.800) were the influencing factors for the achievement of the target for blood glucose control among T2DM patients. Conclusion The blood glucose control among T2DM patients is mainly affected by age, body mass index, disease course, smoking, drinking, medication adherence and comorbidities.

Objective To examine the expression and analyze the significance of autophagy-related gene microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (MAP1-LC3,LC3),p62 and lysosorne-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP-2) in pancreatic tissues of mice with acute pancreatitis (AP).Methods Twenty mice were randomized into AP group and control group,and the number of mice was equal between two groups.AP group was intra-peritoneally injected by 20％ L-arginine solution (two injections of 4 g/kg body weight,every 1 h) in the dosage of 4 g/l kg twice every 1 hour to establish AP model,while control group was administered with equal volume of normal saline by intra-peritoneal injection.All the mice were euthanized at 24 hour after the last injection.Pancreatic histopathological changes were measured.In addition,the protein expressions of LC3,p62 and LAMP-2 were detected by Western blot.Results No obvious pathological changes were observed in control group.Pancreatic acinar edema,structure destruction,missing,the obvious widening of interlobular septum,small interlobular septum and acinar septum,and the necrosis of acinar cells at different degrees were observed in AP group.The pathological score for tissue edema,hemorrhage,necrosis and inflammation in AP group was 3.13 ± 0.50,2.83 ± 0.32,3.25 ± 0.46 and 3.16 ± 0.47,respectively,which was all 0 in control group.The differences were statistically significant between AP group and control group (P ＜ 0.01).In AP group,the ratio of LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ,p62 and LAMP-2 protein in pancreatic tissue were 1.16 ± 0.08,0.94 ± 0.04 and 0.35 ± 0.04,respectively,which were 0.24 ± 0.02,0.34 ± 0.03 and 0.95 ± 0.03 in control group.The ratio of LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ and p62 protein in pancreatic tissue in AP group were much higher than those in control group,while LAMP-2 in AP group was lower than that in control group,and there was statistically significant difference between two groups (all P ＜0.01).Conclusions Intraperitoneal injection of L-arginine could induce acute pancreatitis,and autophagy is impaired,which was associated with decreased LAMP-2 protein expression.

Objective To evaluate the utility of serum thymidine kinase 1(STK1)in health screening.Methods A total of 8896 adults who participated in health check-up during November 2009 and November 2010 were tested for STK1 by using sensitive chemiluminescence's dot blot assay.Results The level of STK1 of group A(STK1 ＞ 2 pmol/L)was much higher than that of the group B(STK1 ＜ 2 pmol/L)[(5.47 ±4.23)vs(0.62 ±0.48)pmol/L;t =11.90,P =0.00].The STK1 level was not correlated with gender.However,the mean age of individuals in the group A was higher than that in the group B[(48.2 ± 12.0)vs(41.8 ± 12.3)years; t =5.37,P =0.00].The positive detection rate of STK1 was 1.2％(108/ 8896).In the group A,there were 1.9％ pre-or post-treatment malignancy,27.8％ pre-malignant tumor or benign disease,36.0％ nontumorous proliferation disease,14.8％ hepatitis B virus/HP infection,10.2％fatty liver,and 9.3％ other diseases.No pre-treatment malignancy and pre-malignancy were found in the group B.Conclusion STK1 measurement could reflect the situation of cell proliferation and predict the risk of any type of malignancy.

The response of glueagon to the change of glucose and its relation to blood pressure in 71 eidely patients with type 2 diabetes was investigated. The results showed that the postprandial increment of glucagon in the group of patients with postprandial 2h plasma glucose increment<2.5 mmol/L was significantly higher than that in the group with plasma glucose inerement≥ 2.5 mmoi/L (P<0. 05). The postprandial increment of glucagon in patients with normal blood pressure was significantly higher than that in patients with hypertension (P<0.05). The results suggest that the decreased response of glucagon to the change in plasma glucose in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes is related to increased blood glucose and high blood pressure.

This study was aimed to choose the best fixing method of electrocardiogram (ECG) measurement in mice by comparison of ECG index in three different fixing ways. Changes of ST amplitude and heart rate in ECG were measured in the self-made mouse sets, tape bundling or breathing anesthesia state. The amplitudes of the ST seg-ment in C57BL6 mice and β1/β2-AR double knockout mice were elevated in tape bundling or breathing anesthesia state in comparison with that in the self-made mouse sets (all P < 0.01). The heart rate under the tape bundling state in C57BL6 mice was significantly faster than that in the self-made mouse sets (P< 0.05 or P< 0.01). And the heart rate under anesthesia in β1/β2-AR double knockout mice was significantly slower than that in tape bundling state or the self-made mouse sets (both P < 0.01). It was concluded that relative to the binding and anesthesia method, fixing mouse in the self-made mouse sets, which can more truly reflect the physiological or pathological states, is a relatively good fixing method of ECG measurement in experimental study.
