Objective To investigate the prevalence, clinical features and complications of gastrointestinal diverticula in Chinese people. Methods 551 patients with gastrointestinal diverticula were analyzed retrospectively. Results Among the 551 patients, 58.6% were over 60 years, and 11.6% were below 40 years. The incidence of esophageal diverticula, gastric diverticula, duodenal diverticula, jejunoileal diverticula and diverticula of the large intestine was 2.5%, 1.8%, 71.7% , 12.7% and 11.3% respectively. There were 6 and 11 patients, 9 and 6 patients, 69 and 271 patients, 1 and 24 patients, and 21 and 33 patients who were diagnosed by endoscopy and double contrast barium examination respectively. Among the 14 esophageal diverticula patients, the incidence of midesophageal diverticula (78.6%) was higher than that in pharyngoesophageal diverticula (11.2%). Among the 62 diverticula of the large intestine patients, the incidence of right side diverticula (56.5%) was higher than that of left side diverticula (38.7%). Almost esophageal diverticula and gastric diverticula were asymptomatic, while about half of the diverticula of the small and large intestine was symptomatic. The incidence of cholelithiasis and pancreatitis in patients with duodenal diverticula was 34.2% and 10.1% respectively. And the incidence of cholelithiasis and pancreatitis in descending segment was significantly higher than that in non descending segment ( P

Objective　To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of pulmonary tuberculosis among students in Fuzhou City in 2022 and the screening of their close contacts, so as to provide scientific basis for further prevention and control of tuberculosis in schools. Methods　A descriptive method was used to investigate the campus tuberculosis epidemic situation in 87 colleges and universities in Fuzhou, and 96 cases of confirmed student patients were investigated individually, and 7 488 close contacts were screened according to the requirements of the Guidelines for tuberculosis Prevention and Control in Chinese Schools, and the results were analyzed. Results　In 2022, a total of 96 students with pulmonary tuberculosis were found in Fuzhou City, with a male to female ratio of 1.04∶1 and an average age of 17.92 ± 4.16 years. The incidence rate of active pulmonary tuberculosis and the incidence rate of bacterial positive pulmonary tuberculosis among university and college students were higher than those among other types of schools, separately 10.56/100 000 and 5.18/100 000, with significant differences (χ2=75.22, P<0.05; χ2=38.69, P<0.05). The proportion of student patients was the highest in the first quarter (34.38%, 33/96). There were 44 cases of delayed visits, with a delay rate of 45.83% (44/96). The diagnosis was delayed in 15 cases, with a delay rate of 15.63% (15/96). Screening of 7 488 close contacts, of which 5 339 were screened with chest radiography and 5 active cases were found. A total of 7 124 patients were screened by the tuberculin skin test (TST test), the positive rates of TST test results for close contacts of pathogenic and no pathogenic patients were 25.97% (1 135/4 371) and 21.10% (581/2 753), respectively. The strong positive rates were 6.15% (269/4 371) and 3.01% (83/2 753), respectively, with statistically significant differences (χ2=21.84, P<0.05; χ2=35.44, P<0.05). Conclusion　In 2022, the incidence of tuberculosis in schools in Fuzhou City was dominated by students from universities and colleges, with the highest incidence rate in the first quarter. The delay in seeing a doctor and diagnosis of student patients was serious. Timely and effective screening of close contacts (especially the close contacts of patients with bacterial positive pulmonary tuberculosis) can reduce the spread of tuberculosis in schools.

Objective To investigate environmental risk factors associated with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS).Methods A retrospective study was carried out from Feb 2005 to Apr 2006.A total of 108 cases with PCOS and 108 patients without PCOS(control group)were interviewed using a designed questionnaire.Results Univariate analysis of environmental factors indicated that risk factors related to PCOS were:occupation,education,disposable plastic cup for drinking,cooking oil fume and indoor decoration,all of which were significantly related to PCOS(P

Objective To investigate the protective effect of Qingkailing (QKL) in cardiac muscle's injury induced by endotoxin and discuss the mechanism from the inflammatory factors expression and free radical metabolism. Methods A total of 48 male ICR mice were divided into normal group, model group, low dose group and high dose group, 12 mice in each group. The QKL(9 ml/kg) was administered via gavage daily for 4 days in low dose group, the QKL (18 ml/kg) was administered via gavage daily for 4 days in high dose group, the equivalent volume of saline was administered via gavage daily for 4 days in normal group and model group. At the fifth day all groups except normal group, received intraperitoneal injection of LPS 0.2 ml (40 mg/kg), and the normal group received equivalent volume of saline. Intragastric administrated again 0.5h, 8h and 20 h after the model establishment. We took blood from hearts 1 hour after the last administration. The QR-PCR was used to detect the expression of inflammatory factors. The Elisa was used to detect IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, MDA, SOD and GSH-Px. Results Compared to the model group, the content of TNF-α (68.75 ± 7.73 pg/ml, 62.03 ± 16.09 pg/ml vs. 116.06 ± 21.06 pg/ml), IL-1β (110.84 ± 40.61 pg/ml, 105.51 ± 38.21 pg/ml vs. 167.53 ± 54.82 pg/ml) and IL-6 (68.78 ± 20.57 pg/ml, 59.71 ± 13.59 pg/ml vs. 108.80 ± 28.21 pg/ml) in low dose group and high dose group were significantly decreased (P<0.01). The expression of TNFα mRNA (1.42 ± 0.15, 1.30 ± 0.46 vs. 3.00 ± 0.82),IL-1β mRNA (1.20 ± 0.57, 1.01 ± 0.40 vs. 2.32 ± 1.39) and IL-6 mRNA (1.53 ± 1.10, 1.16 ± 1.09 vs. 4.12 ± 2.23) in low dose group and high dose group were significantly decreased (P<0.01 or P<0.05). The content of MDA (10.64 ± 2.91 nmol/mg, 11.36 ± 3.02 nmol/mg vs. 15.21 ± 2.31 nmol/mg) in low dose group and high dose group were significantly decreased (P<0.01). The content of SOD (282.32 ± 35.90 U/mg, 325.07 ± 34.76 U/mg vs. 249.01 ± 45.22 U/mg) and GSH-Px (48.26 ± 17.13 U/g, 49.66 ± 22.11 U/g vs. 26.47 ± 20.37 U/g) in low dose group and high dose group were significantly increased (P<0.01). Conclusions The QKL plays a protective role in myocardial injury induced by endotoxemia. Its mechanism may be associated with down-regulation of expression of inflammatory factors, reducing free radicals and improvement of antioxidation.

Objective To research the pathogeny and the electromyographic characteristics of myokymia.Methods The clinical features and electromyography of 42 elderly patients with myokymia were examined. Results Symptomatic myokymia (SM) in 27 cases was caused by low salt syndrome, thyrotoxemia, urinaemia, chronic wasting diseases (such as carcinoma of the stomach or liver), brachial plexus neuropathy, lead poisoning, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuritis, succinylcholine narcosis, restless leg syndrome or Isaac's syndrome.Symptomatic facial myokymia was caused by neoplasm of the brain stem or in posterior cranial fossa, multiple sclerosis or other causes. Primary myokymia ( PM ) in 15 cases involved idiopathic generalized and benign myokymia.Compared with PM, SM was more constant and powerful. Myokymia potential appeared in the electromyograms of 42 of the patients. The majority of patients with SM had accompanying myotonic discharge. Conclusion The pathogeny and electromyographic characteristics of symptomatic myokymia are different from the primary stage.

Aim To study the absorption mechanism of apigenin-7-O-glucronide, 3,4-Dihydroxycinnamic acid and chlorogenic acid in Erigeron breviscapus extract ( Ebe) by Caco-2 cell monolayer model. Methods The three active ingredients were quantified by UPLC-MS/MS method, and the effect of Ebe concentrations, conveying times, pH values and P-glycoprotein inhibi-tor on the transport of three active ingredients were also investigated. Results Apigenin-7-O-glucronide and chlorogenic acid in Caco-2 cell monolayer model were time-dependent and concentration-dependent. The 3, 4-Dihydroxycinnamic acid in Caco-2 cell uptake was concentration-saturate and P-glycoprotein inhibitor was involved in the uptake process. Conclusion The mechanism of apigenin-7-O-glucronide and chlorogenic acid absorption in cells is mainly through passive trans-port, and the absorption of 3, 4-Dihydroxycinnamic acid is mainly realized by the carrier transport.

Objective To identify the possible alterations of brain function in prefrontal lobes and hippocampus in the first-episode patients with positive symptoms of schizophrenia using magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Methods 20 patients were selected to perform MRI and HMRS examination. Proton multi-voxel spectroscopy imaging(1 H-MRSI)was obtained from two sides of the hippocampus and frontal lobes regions. The metabolites included N-acetylaspartate (NAA), and choline-containing compounds (Cho), creatine and phosphocreatine (Cr).The ratios of NAA/Cr, Cho/Cr and NAA/Cho were determined. Results (1)The Cho/Cr ratio was significantly reduced in left frontal white matter of patients compared to right(1. 178 ± 0.210 vs 1.437 ± 0. 337). (2) There was no statistically significant difference in metabolite levels in between left anterior cingulate gray matter and right (N AA. Cr: 1. 339 ± 0.452 vs 1. 748 ± 0. 147;Cho/Cr: 1. 406 ± 0. 394 vs 1. 761 ± 0.362) (P ＜ 0.05). (3) The NAA/Cr, Cho/Cr were significantly reduced in left hippocampus of patients compared to right. Conclusion The results implicate that the metabolic abnormalities might exist in the left hippocampus and frontal lobe of schizophrenic patients with positive symptoms.

Objective To evaluate the application of domestic probe fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in prenatal diagnosis on uncultured amniocytes aneuploid. Methods One thousand three hundred and sixty-nine uncultured amniocytes (16-24 gestational weeks) from 37 hospitals in China were selected for prenatal diagnosis. 5 chromosomes (21, 13, 18, X and Y) were detected with muhicolor FISH. In the mean time, cytogenetic karyotype analysis was performed as control. Results Of all the samples, 1361 samples were successfully tested by FISH, the rate of successful detection was 99.42% (1361/1369). Thirty-five samples were shown with abnormal karyotypes by domestic FISH probe, the abnormal rate is 2. 57% (35/1361 ), including trisomy 21 (22 samples), trisomy 13 (4 samples), trisomy 18(6 samples), X0 (1 sample) and XXY (2 samples). Results of both FISH and cytogenetic karyotype analysis exhibited extreme concordance. Conclusion Domestic FISH probe used in prenatal diagnosis on uncultured aminiocytes showed the following advantages, such as highly efficient, low cost, small amounts of samples needed and reliable results.
