High flow nasal cannulae(HFNC),a new mode of noninvasive respiratory support,by high-flow nasal cannula transports humidified,warmed and high flow maxed oxygen above the flow of 1 ~2 L/min. In the application of Neonatology,the higher oxygen flow and the smaller body type of newborn cause the stron-ger the expansion pressure by HFNC,and following the change of the amount of oxygen leaking along the con-duit.The effect of HFNC in improving respiratory parameters (such as neonatal tidal volume and respiratory function)was similar to nasal continuous positive airway pressure(NCPAP),but the effectiveness is limited to the flow less than 2L/min.A growing number of evidence suggests that HFNC as an alternative method for pre-term non-invasive alternative ventilation is available,but the effect and safety of applications in preterm still need further research.HFNC is not recommended popularized in preterm until more randomized trials to confirm.

Objective To investigate the effect of CCAT1 on migration,invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in endometrial carcinoma (EC) cell.Methods Using quantitative PCR assay,level of CCAT1 was detected in EC tissues to find its association with the initiation and malignancy degree of EC.Wound heal assay and transwell invasion assay were performed to study the effect of CCAT1 on migration and invasion ability of EC cell,while qPCR and western blot assay were utilized to detect the levels of related genes.Results In EC tissues,level of CCAT1 was significantly upregulated (P ＜ 0.001) and was positively associated with the malignancy degree of EC.After CCAT1 knockout,shorter migration distance was found,fewer cell passed through the chambers,levels of metastasis-related genes (MMP2 and MMP9) and mesenchymal markers (Snail,Zeb1 and Twist1) were up-regulated,and epithelial markers (E-cadherin and ZO-1) were down-regulated.Conclusion CCAT1 was up-regulated in EC tissue and its expression level was positively associated with the malignancy degree of EC.CCAT1 knockdown inhibited the metastasis,invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of EC cell.

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a hereditary disease characterized by the progressive loss of photoreceptor cells. Disease pathology primarily affects rod photoreceptor cells first but light-insensitive cone photoreceptor bodies can survivor longer. Delivered by adeno-associated viral vector or lentiviral vector, expression of microbial-type rhodopsin, channelrhodopsin-2 or archaebacterial halorhodopsin in the survived retinal cells can substitute for the native phototransduction cascade in mouse models of retinitis pigmentosa. It can also restore light sensitivity and activate all retinal cone pathways and drive sophisticated retinal circuit functions. Thus, expression of channelrhodopsins or halorhodopsin might be a potential strategy for the restoration vision of patients with RP.

Objective To investigate the changes in serum levels of nitric oxide ( NO) and endothelin ( ET) in type 2 diabetes patients with vascular complications, and to analyze the relationship between these levels and risk factors.Method We selected 98 cases of type 2 diabetes patients.Based on the grouping criteria, the patients were divided into diabetic patients with vascular complications ( group A,49 cases) and those without ( group B,49 cases) .In addition, 44 age-and body mass index-matched healthy cases were selected for control(group C).Height, weight, blood pressure, duration of diabetes, fasting blood glucose, hemoglobin A1c ( HbA1c), blood lipids, and serum levels of NO and ET-1 of all the patients were recorded.Results The NO levels of the two groups with diabetes mellitus were significantly lower than in group C[(43.87 ±12.05)and (53.29 ±11.75)μmol/L versus (66.08 ±16.48)μmol/L, P<0.01], while the ET-1 levels of the two groups with diabetes mellitus were significantly higher [(100.25 ±20.34) and (77.55 ±14.84) versus (53.62 ±8.40)ng/L, P<0.01] than those of the group C.The NO levels of group A were significantly lower than in group B [(43.87 ±12.05) versus (53.29 ±11.75)μmol/L, P<0.01].Moreover, the ET-1 levels of the group A were significantly higher than in group B [(100.25 ±20.34) versus (77.55 ±14.84)ng/L, P<0.01].Between the two diabetic groups, group A showed significantly higher systolic blood pressure(SBP), diastolic blood pressure(DBP), HbA1c, and course than group B (P<0.01).Correlation analysis showed a negative correlation between SBP, DBP, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, and NO a positive correlation between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( HDL-C ) and NO, a negative correlation between HDL-C and ET-1, and a positive correlation between SBP,LDL-C, uric acid, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, and ET-1.Conclusion The serum levels of NO and ET-1 in diabetic patients are evidently abnormal.Vascular endothelium injury will become more serious in patients with complications.Therefore, the serum levels of NO and ET-1 in diabetic patients are correlated with control of blood glucose, blood pressure, and blood lipid levels.

Objective To study the influence of exposure factors on posttraumatic stress disorder( PTSD) and Posttraumatic Growth( PTG) in middle school students in disaster area four years after the Wenchuan earth?quake . Methods 1 526 students from four schools in Worst?Hit Areas were investigated with Self?compiled Earth?quake Exposure Factors Questionnaire,Posttraumatic Growth Inventory( C?PTGI) and Impact of Event Scale( IES?R). Data were analyzed by ANOVA and multiple linear regression analysis.Results The score of IES?R had sig?nificant difference between different levels of all exposure factors(F=5.75~89.10, P<0.05) ,and students with high exposure level((26.68±14.66),(26.80±15.56),(27.83±14.62),(29.02±15.36),(27.77±15.74),(26.74± 15.63),(25.43±14.32),(29.51±14.36)) had heavier symptoms of PTSD than those with low exposure level ((22.84±13.96),(23.98±13.99),(23.63±14.21),(23.53±13.96),(23.64±13.83),(24.24±14.15),(21.27± 14.35),(17.54±13.34)). Only exposure factors of having witnessed someone injured and having close friends se?riously injured or being killed could significantly influence the score of PTGI(F=11.82, P=0.001;F=6.23, P=0.013). Regression analysis showed that five exposure factors (grade,having felt scared,having family members being killed,having close friends seriously injured or being killed,having witnessed someone injured) had signifi?cant effect on IES(ΔR 2=0.141) ,but only one factor( having witnessed someone injured) had weak effect on PTG (ΔR 2=0.007).Conclusion Exposure factors can predict posttraumatic stress symptoms in middle school students in Wenchuan four years after the earthquake,and the emotion of fear is a strongest predictor,but they can not pre?dict posttraumatic growth.

This study was aimed to compare different preparation methods of Wei-Chang Fu-Yuan (WCFY) De-coction, which is a self-made traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction of our hospital, through the investiga-tion of difference in recovery time of gastrointestinal function after gynecological abdominal surgery. A total of 120 cases after gynecological abdominal surgery in our hospital between 2011 and 2012 were randomly divided into the treatment group and the control group, with 60 cases in each group. The hospital self-made WCFY Decoction was given to patients 8 hours after surgery in the treatment group and control group. Decoctions given to two groups were prepared with different methods. Decoction given to the treatment group was by the decoction ma-chine of multiple decoctions preparation. Decoction given to the control group was prepared as the traditional sin-gle dose decoction. The first anus flatus time was observed in both groups. The results showed that the flatus time of treatment group was 16 h and that of the control group was 13 h. The flatus time of patients from two groups was in skewed distribution, so the distance between the median and quartile was used to describe. The non-para-metric tests (Kolmogorov-Smirnov method) were used in the comparison of flatus time of two groups. There was statistical significance between two groups (P < 0.05). It was concluded that different preparation methods affect the clinical efficacy of WCFY Decoction. Compared with the traditional single dose decoction, the fist flatus time was postponed 3 hours by the decoction machine of multiple decoctions preparation. Therefore, with the widely using of decoction machine of multiple decoctions preparation today, the function of decoction machine should be improved and the program should be perfected in order to increase the clinical efficacy of this preparation method.

Objective To study the effect of autonomic nerve activity on emotion experience.Methods 71 healthy males were asked to see a neutral film STICK and conduct a computer game,then evaluated emotion experience.All participants were recorded skip temperature,skin conduction,heart rate,LF and HF during baseline and game periods.Results (1) There was significant difference in fear experience among high,middle and low synchronous groups (2.64 ± 2.05,2.50 ± 2.01,4.46 ± 2.41; P＜ 0.01),and low synchronous group was significantly higher than high synchronous group (P ＜ 0.01).The main effects of three periods were significant in basis of three response types of autonomic nerve activity(skin conduction:F(2.68) =76.083,P＜0.01; heart rate:F(2.68) =71.692,P ＜ 0.01),and skip temperature,skin conduction and heart rate were no significant difference among three response types.Types and periods had no significant interaction.(2) Different response modes of autonomic nervous system has different distributions in high fear and low fear groups (x2 =9.763,P ＜ 0.01).Skip temperature,skin conduction and heart rate were no significant difference between high fear group and low fear group.Conclusion The modes of autonomic nervous system have an effect on intensity of fear experience,but not the same in skip temperature,skin conduction and heart rate.

Objective To explore the value and applicability of the activity of glucose-6 phosphate dehydrogenase(G-6PD) for the auxiliary diagnosis of thalassemia.Methods Nine hundred and forty samples verified by the agar gel hemoglobin electrophoresis and(or) gene diagnosis,blood count measurement,serum ferritin and G-6PD activity test were divided into 3 groups [820 cases of thalassemia in group A;40 cases of iron deficiency anemia(IDA) in group B;80 cases normal control group in group C] and the G-6PD activities of them were analyzed statistically.Results The activity of G-6PD of those samples were(35.23?7.11),(34.95?10.72),(26.64?10.85),(23.86?7.68),(19.89?5.99),(18.65?6.67),(16.75?5.49) NBTU respectively in HbH disease,?-thalassemia major,?-thalassemia intermedia,IDA,?-thalassemia minor,? combine with ?-thalassemia,?-thalassemia trait,there were significant differences compared with normal control group(Pa0.05).Conclusions G-6PD activity increase in both thalassemia and IDA group,it can be used in auxiliary diagnosis of thalassemia but had its serviceable range.It′s suitable for the auxiliary diagnosis of HbH disease and ?-thalassemia major,but not for the discrimination of gene category in thalassemia.

AlM: To compare the results of 4 methods for measuring angle of exodeviation in the three types of intermittent exotropia, including when looking at indoor distance target of 6m, looking at indoor distance target of 30m, looking at outdoor far distance target, after 1h diagnostic occlusion test.
METHODS: Prospective case series study. Sixty-five patients with intermittent exotropia between June 2013 and June 2014 were enrolled in the Department of Ophthalmology, Affiliated Hospital to Qingdao University, included 37 males and 28 females with average age ( 12. 5 ± 6. 2 ) years. All the patients were measured when looking at indoor distance target of 6m, looking at indoor distance target of 30m, looking at outdoor far distance target, after 1h diagnostic occlusion test. lntermittent exotropia was divided into basic type, convergence insufficiency type and divergence excess type, which was based on the different result of between the distance and near measurements. The One-way test was applied to analyze the four methods of measuring angle of exodeviation in the three types of intermittent exotropia. LSD - t test was applied to compare the differences between each two methods in each type.
RESULTS: The distance exodeviations tested with looking at indoor distance target of 6m, looking at indoor distance target of 30m , looking at outdoor far distance target, after 1h diagnostic occlusion test were basic type (45. 4 ± 21. 0, 55. 0 ± 15. 0, 64. 68 ± 17. 7, 68. 75 ± 16. 6PD), convergence insufficiency type (33. 3 ± 14. 0, 44. 9 ± 12. 9, 43. 6±11. 8, 54. 6±11. 2PD), divergence excess type (55. 6± 17.4, 66.3±18.8, 76.9±16.4, 78.1±15.6PD). There were obviously differences between each two methods in each type ( basic type F = 9. 649, P = 0. 00; convergence insufficiency type F=6. 886, P=0. 001; divergence excess type F = 7. 989, P = 0. 00 ). Compared with looking at indoor distance target of 30m, looking at outdoor far distance target ( basic type P=0. 044, divergence excess type P = 0. 048 ) and after 1h diagnostic occlusion test (basic type P=0. 04, divergence excess type P=0. 027) had the statistical difference in the basic type and divergence excess type, and there was no obviously difference between looking at outdoor far distance target and after 1h diagnostic occlusion test ( basic type P=0. 353, divergence excess type P=0. 815). Compared with the other three measurements, 1h diagnostic occlusion test can elicit larger angle of deviation in the convergence insufficiency type.
CONCLUSlON: Both measurement with looking at outdoor far distance target and after 1h diagnostic occlusion test can elicit the larger angle of deviation in the basic type and divergence excess type; The measurement with after 1 hour diagnostic occlusion test can elicit the larger angle of deviation in the convergence insufficiency type.
