Objective To investigate the relationship among health literacy and treatment compliance and prognosis in patients with diabetes combined tuberculosis.Methods One hundred and eighty-one cases patients with diabetes combined tuberculosis were selected as the objectives and evaluated literacy level,compliance scale by the health literacy scale and compliance questionnaires.The control of tuberculosis,blood glucose control,treatment compliance and prognosis were analyzed in the patients with different health literacy level.Results Of 181 patients,there were 89 cases patients'(basic health literacy group) the total scores of health literacy and compliance were＞80 points,the efficacy of pulmonary tuberculosis control and blood sugar control were respectively 84.2％ (75/89) and 93.2％ (83/89);92 cases patients' the total scores of health literacy and compliance were ≤ 80 points,the efficacy of pulmonary tuberculosis control and blood sugar control were respectively 59.7％ (55/92) and 67.4％ (62/92),the differences were significant (x2 =12.78,18.11;P ＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that the total scores of health literacy were positive correlated with the scores of treatment compliance (r =0.688,P ＜ 0.001).Logistic regression analysis showed that three dimension of health literacy (health knowledge and concept,healthy lifestyle and behavior,health skills) that can combined predict the variance of rehabilitation compliance(P＜0.01).Conclusion The health literacy level of diabetes combined tuberculosis patients can effectively predict the rehabilitation compliance.Measures should be taken to improve the patient's level of health literacy,so as improve the compliance of rehabilitation and prognosis.

Objective Atherosclerosis is widely accepted as a chronic inflammatory disease. Serum biomarkers for vulnerable plaques not only serve as diagnostic tools for the identification of patients with acute coro-nary syndrome, but also assist the identification of high-risk patients. However, the existing data are limited and conflicting. In the present study, we determined whether the plasma levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) are correlated with adverse cardiac outcomes in patients with ST-evaluate acute myocardial infarction (STEAMI) undergoing pri-mary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Effect of the plasma intedeukin-1β level on prognosis of patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction. Method This prospective single-center study included 96 patients with SIEAMI with onset < 12 h who underwent primary PCI, 271 patients with stable angina pectoris (SAP) and 148 control subjects without coronary artery disease who were consecutively admitted to hospital be-tween Mar, 2006 and Mar, 2008. Plasma IL-1β levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in all subjects. The patients with STEAMI were then followed prospectively for the occurrence of major adverse car-diac events (MACE) (including cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, heart failure, and cardio-genie shock) during hospitalization. We determined the association between IL-1β levels with the risk of MACE using multivariate logistic regression. Results Compared with the SAP patients and control subjects, patients with STEAMI had higher levels of IL-1β (P < 0.05). During hospitalization, 32 patients (33.3%) experienced MACE [23 males, 9 females; age: (75.44±13.45) years]. In the STEAMI patients, IL-1β was elevated in patients with MACE compared with patients without MACE (median [range]: 26.52 [12.010 to 155.244] pg/mL vs 2.157 [0.433 to 83.021] pg/mL; P < 0.01) by non-parameter analysis. Significant and positive correlations be-tween IL-1β and cardiac troponin-I (cTnI) (r = 0.353, P =0.004) were observed by Spearman's correlations analysis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that IL-1β levels ≥20 pg/mL were significantly and in-dependently associated with MACE during hospitalization (odds ratio: 32.05; 95% confidence interval: 4.28 to 240.151; P =0.001). Conclusions The present study revealed that patients with STEAMI had elevated IL-1β levels on admission. The plasma IL- 1β level is an independent inflammatory predictor for in-hospital MACE in pa-tients with STEAMI undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.

Objective: To understand the knowledge, attitudes and practices of drinking water among college students of Hebei Province, to provide evidence for health education. Methods: A total of 715 subjects were selected from a university in Baoding City, Hebei Province in March 2017 by random cluster sampling. Knowledge, attitude and behavior of drinking water among college students were investigated by self-designed questionnaires. Results: The awareness rate of water consumption of 1 500-1 700 mL was 19.0%, the awareness rate of drinking modes was 95.0%, the awareness rate of suitable drinking time was 30.1%, the awareness rate on drinking water was higher among girls and medical major sutdents (χ2=22.16, 12.49, P<0.05); the awareness rate on the relationship between insufficient drinking water and stroke, hypertension and coronary heart disease was generally low, with sophornore higher than freshman (χ2=11.10, P<0.05). The most common medium for accessing drinking water knowledge among the respondents was network (60.0%), followed by campus publicity/classroom teaching (48.3%). 99.6% of the respondents believed that drinking water was important to health, 98.3% were willing to change their drinking habits, 93.0% were willing to pay attention to drinking water education, and the proportion of female students was higher than that of male students (χ2=5.46, 6.49, 8.01, P<0.05). In real life, 48.4% of the respondents drank water on an empty stomach in the morning and 40.7% before going to bed. 45.5% of the respondents drank water when they thought of it. Conclusion College students in Hebei province are generally lack of appropriate awareness on water drinking, which varied in sex, grade and major. While the attitude towards water drinking is satisfactory, drinking behavior need to be improved.

Objective:To evaluate the role of ferroptosis in the dorsal root gangions in neuropathic pain (NP) in rats.Methods:Thirty-two healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 6-8 weeks, weighing 180-220 g, were randomized into 4 groups ( n=8 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (Sham group), NP group, NP+ solvent control group (NP+ Veh group), and NP+ liproxstatin-1 (Lip-1) group (NP+ Lip group). NP was induced by chronic constrictive injury (CCI) to sciatic nerve in anesthetized animals.In NP+ Lip group, liproxstatin-1 (diluted to 10 μg/μl in DMSO) 30 μl was intrathecally injected for 3 consecutive days after surgery.NP+ Veh group received intrathecal injection of DMSO 30 μl for 3 consecutive days after surgery.Mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal withdrawal latency (TWL) were measured at 3 days before surgery and on days 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 after surgery.Rats were sacrificed after the end of pain threshold measurement on day 10 after surgery, and DRGs of the lumbar segment (L 3-5) on the left side were removed for determination of the levels of iron ion, reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and superoxide dismutase (SOD), expression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4) (by Western blot), and expression of ACSL4 in each nerve cells of DRGs (by immunofluorescence) and for microscopic examination of the ultrastructure of mitochondria in DRGs (by transmission electron microscopy). Results:Compared with Sham group, MWT was significantly decreased and TWL was shortened at T 2-6, levels of iron ions, ROS and MDA in DGRs were increased, activities of SOD and GSH-Px were decreased, ACSL4 expression was up-regulated, GPX4 expression was down-regulated, and ACSL4 expression in astrocytes and Schwann cells of DRGs was up-regulated in NP group ( P<0.05). Compared with NP group, MWT was significantly increased and TWL was prolonged at T 3-6, levels of iron ions, ROS and MDA in DGRs were decreased, activities of SOD and GSH-Px were increased, ACSL4 expression was down-regulated, GPX4 expression was up-regulated, and ACSL4 expression in astrocytes and Schwann cells of DRGs was down-regulated ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in NP+ Veh group ( P>0.05). The results of electron microscopy showed that collapsed mitochondrial cristae and membrane rupture were found in astrocytes and Schwann cells of DRGs in NP group, and the number of collapsed mitochondrial cristae and membrane rupture was significantly decreased in NP + Lip group when compared with NP group. Conclusions:The ferroptosis in DRGs is involved in NP in rats.

Objective:To investigate the protective role and mechanism of hypoxia inducible factor(HIF)-1α in myocardial ischemia postconditioning.Methods:Forty healthy adult SD rats were randomly divided into four groups with 10 rats in each group.The control group(group A)was sham operation group, and the rats underwent the same surgical procedures except that the suture passed under the left anterior descending branch(LAD)of the coronary artery was not tightened for 225 minutes.In the ischemia-reperfusion group(group B), the LAD was blocked for 45 minutes, and then reperfusion for 3 hours.In the ischemic postconditioning group(group C), 45 minutes after blocking the LAD, reperfusion was performed for 10 seconds-ischemia for 10 seconds at the beginning of reperfusion, a total of 3 cycles of intervention, and reperfusion for 3 hours.Ischemic postconditioning + HIF-1α inhibitor group(group D): 45 minutes after blocking the LAD, HIF-1α inhibitor AG490 (3 μg/g) was injected intraperitoneally, and reperfusion was performed for 10 seconds-ischemia 10 seconds at the moment of reperfusion.A total of 3 cycles of intervention, reperfusion for 3 hours.Blood samples were harvested from femoral vein at three time points(before ligation of the LAD, 45 minutes after ischemia, 3 hours after reperfusion)to analyze the serum levels of creatine kinase and cardiac troponin respectively.After 3 hours of reperfusion, myocardial tissue was used to measure the infarction size through 2, 3, 5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining method; and Western blot method was used to detect the expression of HIF-1α in each group.Results:(1) There were no significant differences in the serum levels of creatine kinase and cardiac troponin among four groups before ligation( P>0.05); 45 minutes after ischemia, there were significant differences between group B, group C, and group D compared with group A ( P<0.01). After 3 hours of reperfusion, there were significant differences between group B, group C, and group D compared with group A (all P<0.01), and group B, group D were significantly higher than that in group C ( P<0.05). (2)Compared with group A[(2.46±1.13)%], the area of myocardial infarction in group B was (45.81±5.96)%, in group C was (37.17±4.99)%, and group D was (45.00±3.29) %, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01). (3)The HIF-1α protein in myocardial tissue in group A was slightly expressed; the expression of HIF-1α protein in group B was higher than that in group A( P<0.05); and group C was significantly higher than that in group B ( P<0.05); HIF-1α protein was almost not expressed in group D. Conclusion:After ischemic postconditioning, HIF-1α increased in myocardium; the increased expression of HIF-1α may be involved in the protective process of myocardial ischemic postconditioning in rats.

Objective To investigate the effect of Osthole on memory function of sleep deprivation(SD) mice. Methods Forty-eight male mice were randomly divided into 4 groups;normal control group(NC group ), large platform control group(TC group),sleep deprivation group(M group)and Osthole group(Ost group). The model of SD in mice was estabished by using improved multi platform method. The ability of learning and memory was tested by using Morris water maze test and pathological changes of hippocampal neurons in mice were observed by HE staining. The serum,hippcampus malondialdehyde(MDA)contents and superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity, so as the hippocampus No content,were detected. Results Compared with NC group and TC group,the escape la-tency of M group increased significiantly and the number of crossing platform decreased significantly. There were in-creased levels hippocampus tissue,serum MDA level,hippocampal SOD activity and NO content. After supplemen-tation of Osthole,the escape latency significantly shortened in mice. The number of crossing platform was increased while the contents of MDA both in hippocampus and serum were decreased,and the SOD activity in hippocampus re-turned to normal. However,the level of NO in hippocampus was not decreased. Conclusion Osthole can protect the memory function of SD mice by reducing the the damage of hippocampal neurons through antioxidant stress.
