Objective To explore the impact of metabolic syndrome (MS)in bone mineral density (BMD) in elderly male type 2 diabetics (T2DM). Methods One hundred and fourty cases were divided into MS group and non-MS(NMS)group according to with or without MS. Height,weight were measured, body mass index(BMI) were calculated and the total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c)were tested. The bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). The differences among these groups were compared and the risk factors for MS were analyzed. Results The MD, BMI, TC,TG in MS group was higher than that in NMS group (P < 0.05 vs. P < 0.01),and HDL-C was lower than NMS group (P < 0.05). Correlation analysis showed that BMD was negatively correlated with age , TG , HDL-C , and was positively correlated with BMI.The results of multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that age ,HDL-C,BMI were independent risk factors for BMD. Conclusion The BMD significantly increases in T2DM with MS.Obesity and low HDL-C have positive effects in bone mass.

_ Objective_ To study whether quinoid dihydropteridine reductase ( QDPR ) expression level change can affect oxidative stress of NRK-52E renal tubular cells in a high glucose environment. Methods The NRK-52E model of overexpression, knockdown QDPR gene and respective control were constructed by lentivirus. All groups were given 5. 4 mmol/L and 30 mmol/L glucose culture medium respectively to imitate normal and high glucose condition. The level of superoxide anion ( O-2 ) was detected by flow cytometer dihydroethidium method. The protein expression level of superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1)was tested by Western blot. Results QDPR over-expression can decrease O-2(P<0. 01)and SOD1(P<0. 05)levels in high glucose condition;QDPR knockdown increases O-2(P<0. 01) and does not change SOD1. Conclusion Under high glucose condition, overexpression of QDPR gene decreases NRK-52E cell oxidative stress. Knockdown QDPR gene increases NRK-52E cell oxidative stress. QDPR gene may influence the development of diabetic nephropathy by oxidative stress.

Objective:
To examine the impact of physical intelligence teaching on the function of children s sensory integration, so as to provide reference for promoting the development of sensory integration system.
Methods:
From February to May 2023, the intervention was implemented for 12 weeks among 136 children aged 4-5 (68 in the intervention group and 68 in the control group). The intervention group received situational and game based physical intelligence teaching, the control group received sports game teaching according to the original curriculum objectives of the kindergarten. Intervention was administered 3 times a week for 40 minutes each time. The sensory integration ability of the intervention group and the control group were evaluated before and after the intervention with Chi square test and t test.
Results:
The vestibular sensation, proprioception and tactile sensation of between boys and girls in the intervention group were significantly improved compared with before intervention (boys:44.14±11.52 vs. 53.34± 9.49 ,44.57±12.76 vs. 50.54±11.86,49.31±12.18 vs. 55.00±10.24,girls:46.00±11.01 vs. 54.58±10.06,48.79±13.17 vs. 53.64±11.97,52.67±11.67 vs. 56.91±10.42, t =-3.24,-2.49,-2.09,-5.24,-12.94,-2.56, P <0.05). There was no significant difference in vestibular sensation between boys and girls in the control group (boys:45.91±11.66 vs. 46.31± 11.20,girls:48.27±13.56 vs. 48.45 ±13.54, t =-0.87,-0.07, P >0.05), but there was a significant improvement in proprioception and tactile sensation in both boys and girls (boys:46.63±11.76 vs. 48.06±11.69,51.63±11.98 vs. 52.40±12.18,girls:50.45±12.16 vs. 51.67± 12.03 ,53.36±12.48 vs. 54.39±12.57, t =-3.36,-2.08,-4.66,-2.86, P <0.05). After the intervention, compared with the control group, the vestibular sensation of both boys and girls significantly improved ( t=2.83, 2.08, P <0.05), with exception of proprioception and tactile sensation ( t =0.88,0.67,0.97,0.88, P >0.05). In the experimental group, the number of normal boys increased from 12 to 24, while the number of dysfunctional boys decreased from 23 to 11, with a statistically significant difference ( χ 2=11.53, P <0.01). There was no statistically significant difference in sensory integration in boys of the control group before and after the experiment ( χ 2= 1.10 , P >0.05). After intervention,the number of normal girls in the experimental group increased from 15 to 27, while the number of dysfunctional girls decreased from 18 to 6, with a statistically significant difference ( χ 2=10.39, P < 0.05 ). There was no statistically significant difference in sensory integration in girls from the control group before and after the experiment ( χ 2=2.08, P > 0.05 ).
Conclusion
Physical intelligence teaching can effectively improve children s sensory integration ability, especially for vestibular function.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the acquaintance to orthodontics and possible factors that obstruct orthodontic treatment in middle school students in zones with different economic levels in Jiangjin, Chongqing.
METHODSThe students were randomly divided into four groups: A class from a junior high school in town (group 1), a class from a senior high school in town (group 2), a class from a junior high school in the countryside (group 3), a class from a senior high school in the countryside (group 4). The information was collected by questionnaire, and the statistical analysis of results was carried out by SPSS 17.0 software.
RESULTSSex made difference in the acquaintance to orthodontics treatment. Girls worried more about teeth extraction and pain that may occur during treatment than the boys. Students in the city had more access to related consultations compared to those in the countryside. Different economic conditions made much contribution to the proportion to go for orthodontics treatment in cities and rural areas. The evaluation from families and friends may affect patients' subjective estimation to themselves.
CONCLUSIONOrthodontists should learn more about student patiens from various aspects, and make different therapies according to their sexes, economic conditions of family, education levels, etc. Only so can orthodontists get better compliance from their patients.

Objective To investigate the outcome of high-risk acute non-lymphocytic leukemia treated with sequential low-dose cytarabine and harringtonine(LD-HA) and standard induction. Methods 50 high-risk ANLL. patients (LD-HA group) who were regarded as unfit for intensive chemotherapy were chosen to receive LD-HA. Reinductive treatments with standard regimens would be given for those who did not achieve complete remission. 23 patients DA/HA group given two cycles of standard inductive regimens were taken as the control. Results In LD-HA group 80.0 %. (40/50) reached CR, 2 patients died shortly after inductive therapy. The median leukemia-free survival(LFS) was 19.6 months, and the median overall survival (OS) was 12.2 months. Overall survival was 57.0 % at 1 year, 24.1% at 3 years, and 18.8 % at 5 years. While the CR rate was 73.9 % for DA/HA group, and none died during the inductive therapy. LFS and OS was 19.8 months and 12.1 months, respectively. OS rate was 56.58 % at 1 year, 27.1% at 3 years, and 27.1% at 5 years.There were no difference on OS rates between 2 groups (x2 were 0.009, 0.237 and 1.807, respectively,P >0.05). Conclusion In patients who were unfit for intensive chemotherapy, sequential therapy with LD-HA and standard induction improved the rate of complete remission and the duration of survival.

Objective:To study the expression and clinical significance of teratocarcinoma-derived growth factor 1 (Cripto-1) and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)in cervical cancer (CC)cancer tissues.Methods:From January 2012 to May 2017, 152 patients with CC in the 2nd Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu Medical College were selected as CC group, and 40 patients with uterine fibroids as control group. The quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of Cripto-1 and mTOR in 152 cases of CC tissues and 40 cases of normal cervical tissues. The expression difference between the two and their relationship with pathological features and prognosis were statistically analyzed.Results:The relative expression of Cripto-1 and mTOR in CC tissues was significantly higher than that in normal cervical tissues ( P<0.05). There was a significant positive correlation between Cripto-1 and mTOR expression in CC tissues ( r=0.634, P<0.05). The expression of Cripto-1 and mTOR protein in CC tissues were associated with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage and tumor grade ( P<0.05), but not with age, pathological type, depth of invasion and lymph node metastasis ( P>0.05). The 3-year overall survival (OS) rate of patients with high Cripto-1 expression was not significantly different from that of patients with low Cripto-1 expression ( P>0.05), while the 3-year OS of high mTOR expression group was significantly lower than that of low mTOR expression group (χ 2=5.808, P=0.016). Conclusions:The expression of Cripto-1 and mTOR is increased in CC tissues.Both of them are related to FIGO stage and tumor grade, which may become a new molecular marker for diagnosis, treatment and evaluation of CC.

Objective To explore the mediating role of self-efficiency between mindfulness and job burnout in psychological counselors. Methods 201 psychological counselors were tested by the demograph-ic data Questionnaire,Maslach Burnout Inventory(MBI-GS),General Self-Efficacy Scale(GSES),Mindful-ness attention and mindfulness scale(MAAS). The structural equation model was used to explore the media-ting role of self-efficacy in the relationship between mindfulness and job burnout. Results Mindfulness in psychological counselors was negatively correlated with emotional exhaustion and depersonalization(r=-0.50,-0.43;P<0.01),while there was a significant positive correlation with personal accomplishment(r=0.30,P<0.01). Self-efficiency was negatively correlated with emotional exhaustion and depersonalization(r=-0.30,-0.32;P<0.01),while there was a significant positive correlation with personal accomplishment(r=0.40,P<0.01). Mindfulness was positively correlated with self-efficiency(r=0.31,P<0.01). The mediating effect showed that self-efficacy played a partial mediating effect on the relationship between mindfulness and job burnout(effect value:-0.071,95%CI= -0.027--0.141),and the mediation effect accounted for 14.82%of the total effect. Conclusion Self-efficiency plays a partial mediating role between job burnout and mind-fulness in psychological counselors. Improving the level of mindfulness and self-efficiency have positive effect on job burnout of the psychological counselors.

OBJECTIVE: To study the tonifying spl een effect of Codonopsis pilosula polysaccharides (CPP) on spleen-deficiency model mice. METHODS :Totally 60 ICR male mice were randomized into blank group ,model group ,CPP high-dose,medium-dose and low-dose groups [ 1.6,0.8,0.4 g/(kg·d)],Sijunzi tang (SJZT)group [ 30 g/(kg·d),by crude drug] , with 10 mice in each group. Except for blank group ,other groups were given Sennae Folium solution intragastrically (0.4 g/d)to establish spleen-deficiency model. After modeling ,administration groups were given relevant drug intragastrically ,and blank group and model group were given 20 mL/kg normal saline intragastrically ,once a day ,for consecutive 6 weeks. After last administration,body weight of mice in each group was measured and their general behavioral characteristics were observed. The red blood cell count in whole blood were recorded ,and the contents of D-xylose,gastrin(GAS),motilin(MTL),somatostatin (SS),vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP),amylase(AMS),immunoglobulin(IgG and IgM )and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)in serum were determined ;mRNA and protein expressions of Claudin and Occludin in colon tissues of mice were also detected. RESULTS:Compared with blank group ,body weight of mice in model group was significantly decreased (P<0.05),and the spleen deficiency symptoms such as sparse back hair and no luster appeared ;the red blood cell count in whole blood ,serum contents of D-xylose,SS,VIP,AMS,IgG and IgM ,mRNA and protein expressions of Claudin and Occludin were significantly decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01);serum contents of GAS ,MTL and LPS were significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with model group ,the body weight of mice were increased significantly in CPP high-dose group (P<0.05),and spleen-deficiency symptom was improved significantly. Except for the serum contents of D-xylose and IgM ,the protein expressions of Claudin and Occludin in colon tissue had no statistical significance in CPP low-dose group (P>0.05),above indexes of other groups w ere improved significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSION :CPP can i mprove spleen-defic iency model mice induced by Sennae Folium,the mechanism of which may be associated with regulating gastrointestinal hormone secretion , enhancing immunity and protecting intestinal mucosal barrier.
