Objective To explore the association between lipid profiles and left ventricular hypertrophy in a Chinese general population. Methods We conducted a retrospective observational study to investigate the relationship between lipid markers [including triglycerides, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, non-HDL-cholesterol, apolipoprotein A-I, apolipoprotein B, lipoprotein[a], and composite lipid profiles] and left ventricular hypertrophy. A total of 309,400 participants of two populations (one from Beijing and another from nationwide) who underwent physical examinations at different health management centers between 2009 and 2018 in China were included in the cross-sectional study. 7,475 participants who had multiple physical examinations and initially did not have left ventricular hypertrophy constituted a longitudinal cohort to analyze the association between lipid markers and the new-onset of left ventricular hypertrophy. Left ventricular hypertrophy was measured by echocardiography and defined as an end-diastolic thickness of the interventricular septum or left ventricle posterior wall > 11 mm. The Logistic regression model was used in the cross-sectional study. Cox model and Cox model with restricted cubic splines were used in the longitudinal cohort. Results In the cross-sectional study, for participants in the highest tertile of each lipid marker compared to the respective lowest, triglycerides [odds ratio (OR): 1.250, 95%CI: 1.060 to 1.474], HDL-cholesterol (OR: 0.780, 95%CI: 0.662 to 0.918), and lipoprotein(a) (OR: 1.311, 95%CI: 1.115 to 1.541) had an association with left ventricular hypertrophy. In the longitudinal cohort, for participants in the highest tertile of each lipid marker at the baseline compared to the respective lowest, triglycerides [hazard ratio (HR): 3.277, 95%CI: 1.720 to 6.244], HDL-cholesterol (HR: 0.516, 95%CI: 0.283 to 0.940), non-HDL-cholesterol (HR: 2.309, 95%CI: 1.296 to 4.112), apolipoprotein B (HR: 2.244, 95%CI: 1.251 to 4.032) showed an association with new-onset left ventricular hypertrophy. In the Cox model with forward stepwise selection, triglycerides were the only lipid markers entered into the final model. Conclusion Lipids levels, especially triglycerides, are associated with left ventricular hypertrophy. Controlling triglycerides level potentiate to be a strategy in harnessing cardiac remodeling but deserve to be further investigated.

Objective:
To evaluate the effectiveness of different laboratory methods for the supplementary diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis(PTB)and provide reference data for the early diagnosis of PTB.
Methods:
A total of 298 suspected PTB patients, who were diagnosed and treated in the outpatient department of Shanghai Tongren Hospital from January 2016 to December 2018, were divided into 3 groups: active PTB (138 cases),inactive PTB (43 cases) and non-PTB (117 cases) group. Sputum acid-fast staining, MGIT liquid culture system and Xpert MTB/RIF test were performed to detect the sputum specimens. The sensitivity and specificity were compared by Chi-square test.
Results:
The three methods showed certain significance for distinguishing active PTB, inactive PTB combined with non-PTB (χ 2 values were 89.08, 138.94 and 137.12 respectively, all P<0.01). There was no significant difference for the positive rate of the three methods between inactive PTB and non-PTB. The sensitivities of acid-fast staining, MGIT liquid culture, Xpert MTB/RIF test and the combination of three methods in the diagnosis of active PTB were 45.7% (63/138), 63.8% (88/138), 65.4% (87/133) and 78.2% (104/133) respectively. The sensitivities of MGIT culture and Xpert MTB/RIF test were significantly higher than that of acid-fast staining (χ 2 was 35.79 and 11.26 respectively,all P<0.01). There was no significant difference for the sensitivities between MGIT liquid culture and Xpert MTB/RIF test(χ 2 was 29.87, P>0.05) . The sensitivity of combined detection was higher than that of single detection(χ 2 was 30.84, 64.62, 70.14, respectively, all P<0.01). The diagnostic specificities of the three methods and their combination were 99.1%(116/117), 98.3%(115/116), 99.1%(113/114) and 97.3%(110/113)respectively. There was no significant difference for the specificities of the three methods.
Conclusion
High sensitivities of MGIT liquid culture and Xpert MTB/RIF test were shown in PTB diagnosis. Combined detection of the three methods may improve the sensitivity of detection.

Objective:
To investigate the current situation and influence factors of perceived professional benefits among nurses working in day-care unit.
Methods:
Convenience sampling method was adopted, totally 245 nurses working in day-care unit were investigated by nurses' perceived professional benefit questionnaire, psychological capital questionnaire, psychological sub-health questionnaire and a self-designed demographic questionnaire. The data were collected and analyzed statistically.
Results:
The scores of perceived professional benefit among nurses working in day-care unit were 117.96±14.06. Multiple regression analysis shows that working years, scores of psychological capital questionnaire and psychological sub-health questionnaire were positive factors to perceived professional benefit; while the education level was negative predictors to perceived professional benefit. The regression equation was: the scores of perceived professional benefit among nurses = 70.582-4.882 x the education level + 2.520 x working years+ 0.329 x scores of psychological capital questionnaire + 0.250 x psychological sub-health questionnaire.
Conclusions
It showed higher level of perceived professional benefit as tested in previous study. Managers can pay more attention to nurses with less working years and higher degree of education, and improve the level of psychological capital and mental health, so as to improve the level of perceived professional benefit.

Objective Our study aimed to delineate the clinical and radiological features of patients with anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody (MOG-Ab)positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). Methods Fifty-seven patients with NMOSD and 29 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) were collected. Data on clinical and radiological features of MOG-Ab positive patients with were analyzed retrospectively. Results MOG-Abs were present in 9/57 (15.8%) NMOSD patients and 2/29 (6.9%) MS patients. Both MOG and aquaporin-4 (AQP4) antibodies were positive in one case of NMOSD. There was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). There were more females than males having MOG-Ab positive NMOSD (females: males=7:1) and the average onset age was 41.4 ± 11.5 years. There was no significant difference in gender and age between MOG-Ab negative and AQP4-Ab positive groups(P>0.05). The durations of disease were significantly shorter in either MOG-Ab positive NMOSD patients or MOG-Ab negative NMOSD patients than in AQP4-Ab positive group (P<0.05). Recurrence was the main disease pattern of all three groups and the frequency of recurrence was not significant different among three groups (P>0.05). The incidence of optic neuritis was 62.5% in NMOSD patients with MOG-Ab positive and 43.5% in AQP4-Ab positive NMOSD patients (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the morphology and location of brain lesions among the three groups (P>0.05). MOG-Ab positive NMOSD patients had long segment spinal cord lesions. The median length of the spinal cord lesions in the MOG-Ab positive group was similar to the other two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions MOG-Ab positive NMOSD patients have higher proportion of females with shorter recurrence course, more likely complicated with optic neuritis. And the radiological features of brain and spinal cord were not specific to patients with AQP4-Ab positive.

Objective To discuss the application value of DWI and ADC on predicting therapeutic effect of radiotherapy treatment in NPC. Methods Twenty four local recurrent cases and 38 non-recurrent cases after radiotherapy treatment in NPC were reviewed. MRI and DWI-MRI were performed at pre-radiotherapy and 3, 6, 12 months after treatment, the ADC values of the lesions were analyzed by SPSS 18.0 statistical software. ROC curves based on the ADC values were measured in 3, 6, 12 months after treatment plotted to analyze the threshold ADC value for confirming recurrence. Results The recurrent group and newly diagnosed group showed significantly high signal on DWI, while the non-recurrent group acquired low or mixed signal. The ADC values of the primary tumor in the recurrent group and the non-recurrent group were (0.709 ± 0.078) × 10-3 and (0.693 ± 0.089) × 10-3mm2/s, respectively, t=-0.717,P>0.05, respectively.The ADC values of the primary and recurrent tumor in the recurrent group were (0.730± 0.068) × 10-3mm2/s and (0.709 ± 0.078) × 10-3mm2/s, t=-1.000,P>0.05 , respectively.There were statistical differences between the recurrent group and the non-recurrent group for ADC in 3, 6, 12 months after treatment:(1.128 ± 0.179) × 10-3 and (1.358 ± 0.145) × 10-3mm2/s, t=5.567,P<0.01;(1.164 ± 0.174) and (1.450 ± 0.102) × 10-3mm2/s, t=7.310,P<0.01;(1.107 ± 0.180) × 10-3 and (1.584 ± 0.125) × 10-3mm2/s, t=11.189,P<0.01;respectively. Take 1.29 × 10-3 mm2/s,1.32 × 10-3mm2/s,1.37 × 10-3mm2/s respectively in 3, 6, 12months after treatment as the diagnostic threshold to predict tumor recurrence. The sensitive , specificity, and accuracy were (83.3%, 73.7%, 77.4%), (83.3%, 89.5%, 87.1%), (100.0%, 94.7%, 96.3%).Conclusions Both DWI and ADC value are important for diagnosing and predicting recurrent NPC after radiotherapy treatment, DWI and ADC can be used to regular follow-up after radiotherapy, to further improve the rate of early diagnosis of recurrent NPC.

Objective To investigate the characteristics and outcome of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) in patients with renal injury. Methods AAV patients with renal injury diagnosed in the Department of Nephrology, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, from January 2012 to January 2017 were included into this study. Patients were divided into MPO-ANCA positive and PR3-ANCA positive groups for further study. The clinical characteristics, pathological and laboratory indexes, treatment and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed. Results A total of 68 cases were enrolled, among which 52 cases (76.5%) were MPO-ANCA positive and 16 cases (23.5%) were PR3-ANCA positive, and 41 patients (60.3%) were over 65 years old. The incidences of interstitial lung disease, digestive and nervous system damage in PR3-ANCA positive group were significantly higher than those MPO - ANCA positive group (P<0.05). There were significant differences of hemoglobin, complement C3, complement C1q, IgE, 24 h urinary protein,erythrocyte sedimentation rate, procalcitonin, BVAS score and eGFR in two groups (P<0.05). 19 cases had done renal biopsy ,among them 14 cases were MPO-ANCA positive and 5 cases were PR3-ANCA positive. Incidence of crescentic necrotizing glomerulonephritis in PR3-ANCA positive group was significantly higher than that in MPO - ANCA positive group, and incidence of diffuse global glomerulosclerosis in MPO-ANCA positive group was significantly higher than that in PR3-ANCA positive group (all P<0.05). At the median follow-up time of 32 months, the relapse rate at 6 month of MPO-ANCA-positive and PR3-ANCA-positive patients were 46.2% and 75.0%, respectively (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that PR3-ANCA positive, age≥65 years old, baseline eGFR<30 ml·min-1·(1.73 m2)-1, and combined with pulmonary interstitial lesions were all independent risk factors for relapse. And the incidence of ESRD were 42.3%and 75.0%during the follow-up period and 10 patients (14.7%) died. COX regression analysis showed that patients older than 65 years old, BVAS score≥18 points, eGFR<30 ml·min-1·(1.73 m2)-1 and complicated with pulmonary interstitial disorders at the onset were independent risk factors causing ESRD or death. Conclusion The PR3-ANCA-positive patients had more severe renal injury than those with MPO-ANCA-positive patients, and the injury of extrarenal organs was more serious, recurrence rate was higher, and the prognosis was worse.
