Objective To explore the application of multilevel growth model in community intervention research. Methods The data a-bout blood pressure collected through questionnaire at baseline and 6 months, 12 months after intervention were analysed through multilevel growth model to evaluate the effectiveness of hypertension self-management. Results The blood pressures between the two groups were statistical significance at baseline,and the changing trends also were different. Age could affect diastolic blood pressure (DBP) changing after controlling the other factors. Conclusion Multilevel growth model can analyze the longitudinal data acquired from intervention research flexibly,and the result is more reliable.

Objective To investigate the changes of cerebral regional glucose metabolism and regional homogeneity (ReHo) and their relation in patients with major depression disorder (MDD) using 18F-FDG PET/CT and functional MRI (fMRI).Methods A total of 18 MDD patients (6 males,12 females,age:(33.00±7.59) years) and 17 healthy controls (6 males,11 females,age:(34.59±8.96) years) underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT and fMRI.The changes of glucose metabolism on PET and ReHo on fMRI were analyzed individually by SPM and ReHo fMRI 1.0 software.Pearson correlation analysis was used.Results Compared with the glucose metabolism of control subjects,those of MDD patients decreased in the bilateral superior,middle and inferior frontal gyri,bilateral superior and middle temporal gyri,bilateral anterior cingulate cortices,bilateral putamina and caudate nuclei and the left pallidum.Meanwhile the glucose metabolism increased in the bilateral hippocampi and the left thalamus.The ReHo in MDD patients decreased in bilateral superior and middle frontal gyri,left pallidum,bilateral putamina,left anterior cingulate cortex,whereas increased ReHo was found in right hippocampus and right thalamus.The SUV of bilateral superior,middle and inferior frontal gyri,bilateral superior and middle temporal gyri,bilateral putamina,left caudate,left pallidum,left anterior cingulate cortex,bilateral hippocampi and bilateral thalami were correlated with ReHo (r =0.51-0.83,all P＜0.05).However,no correlation was found between the SUV and ReHo in right caudate and anterior cingulate cortex (r=0.41,0.37; both P＞0.05).Conclusion There may be relative characteristic models of abnormal cerebral metabolism and cerebral dysfunction impairment in MDD patients,and the changes of cerebral regional glucose metabolism may be correlated with the changes of ReHo.

Objective To investigate use of oral antihypertensive drugs among community hypertensive patients in Shanghai and find out factors related to their unreasonable use to direct their clinical use. Methods Seven hundred and three hypertensive patients were surveyed with questionnaire by stratified cluster sampling at three neighborhoods and one village of Dahua community, Baoshan district, Shanghai during April to June 2009 to understand their use of antihypertensive agents, including kinds and forms of drugs, rationale of drug use. Results Five hundred and eighty-two (82. 8% ) of 703 hypertensive patients interviewed were using antihypertensive drugs, 271 (38. 5% ) of them used only one kind of non-compound antihypertensive drug, 182 (25.9%) used one kind of compound agent, 311 (53.4%) used two or more kinds of drugs in combination, including 117 patients ( 16. 8% ) used two kinds of agents combined and 12 patients ( 1.6% ) used three kinds of agents combined. Two hundred and sixty-six (47.5%) patients took orally calcium-channel blockers and 205 ( 35.2% ) used compound agents. Conclusions Frequency of combined use of two or more kinds of antihypertensive agents is reasonable and significantly higher than that of use of one kind of drug at Dahua community in Shanghai. Calcium channel blocker plays a predominant role in treatment for hypertension, non-long-acting compound agents are used in a higher proportion. But,guidelines for hypertension prevention and treatment are not so well complied with in local hypertensive patients. So, it is suggested that training for community physicians and management for standard use of antihypertensive agents at community should be strengthened further.

Objective: To explore a model that workplace social capital is associated with intention to stay (ITS) in the nursing profession and that this association is partially mediated by organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and job stress among Chinese nurses. Methods: A cross-sectional, observationalstudy was conducted in Shanghai, China between September and December 2014. Two thousandforty-two nurses from 23 healthcare organizations were recruited for the current study using a two-stage sampling process.Intention to stay, workplace social capital, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and job stress was measured by validated scale. Measured variable path analysis (MVPA) was used to test their hypothesized relationships. Results: There were significant positive direct effects from workplace social capital (=0.11, P<0.01) , organizational commitment (=0.81, P<0.01) and job satisfaction (=0.03, P<0.01) to ITS, and a negative direct effects from job strain to ITS (=-0.03, P<0.01) . The model explained 84% of the variability in ITS. Additionally, workplace social capital had significant positive direct effects on organizational commitment (=0.65, P<0.01) , job satisfaction (=0.44, P<0.01) and negative direct effects on job strain (=-0.35, P<0.01) . The indirect effect of social capital to ITS was 0.55. Job satisfaction was positively associated with organizational commitment (r=0.47, P<0.01) , and negtively associated with job stress (r=-0.12, P<0.01) . Job stress was negtively associated with organizational commitment (r=-0.20, P<0.01) . Conclusion This study suggests that greater workplace social capital may lead to higher ITS in nursing primarily by increasing commitment to the nursing occupation and their job satisfaction and by reducing their sense of job stress.

Objective To examine matrix proteoglycan metabolic markers and probe into the turnover of matrix proteoglycan and enzyme-mediated role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and aggrecanases in reparative tissues with tissue engineering cartilage. Methods Tissue-engineered cartilage was constructed by cancellous bone matrix gelatin (BMG) with allogeneic chondrocytes in vitro for 2 weeks, then implanted to repair osteochondral defects of rabbit knee joint. Samples were obtained 6 months later to explore the expressions of 3-B-3(-) epitope, MMPs, MMP-generated epitope BC-4 and aggrecanases-generated epitope BC-13. Results In repaired tissues, the expression of 3-B-3(-) epitope increased, but that of MMPs and MMP-generated epitope BC-4 reduced. There was no expression of aggrecanases-generated epitope BC-13. Conclusion Expressions of 3-B-3(-), MMPs, BC-4 and BC-13 can help probe into the matrix proteoglycan turnover in reparative cartilage tissues. Anabolism exceeds catabolism in the repaired tissues. MMPs play an important role in the conservative baseline turnover of proteoglycan and remodeling of the graft tissues.

Objective To observe non-displaceable binding potential (BPND) changes of striatal dopamine D2 receptors(SDDR) in patients with first-episode major depressive disorder (MDD) using 11C-Raclopride PET/CT,and to analyze the relationship between BPND and Hamilton rating scale for depression (HAM-D).Methods From December 2014 to December 2015,patients with first-episode MDD and age/gender-matched healthy controls underwent brain MRI and 11C-Raclopride PET/CT in this prospective study.BPND of bilateral SDDR was calculated by molecular imaging and kinetic analysis toolbox (MIAKAT).BPND changes of bilateral SDDR and their relationship with HAM-D score were analyzed.Paired t test,two-sample t test and Pearson correlation analysis were used.Results A total of 20 MDD patients (8 males,12 females,average age: (32.80±9.76) years) and 20 healthy controls (9 males,11 females,average age:(29.25±6.93) years) were enrolled in this study.The 11C-Raclopride uptake in brain tissue of the MDD group and control group were mainly distributed in bilateral striatum,and very few 11C-Raclopride was distributed in bilateral cerebral cortex and cerebellum.In MDD group,the BPND level of bilateral SDDR had no statistical differences(t values: 0.69,0.35,both P>0.05),and similar results were found in the control group(t values: 0.28,0.24,both P>0.05).Compared with the control group,however,the MDD group had lower BPND level of bilateral SDDR(t values: 3.13-4.41,all P<0.05).The BPND of bilateral caudate nucleus and/or putamen D2 receptors was correlated with HAM-D total score,anxiety/somatization factor score,cognitive impairment factor score,retardation factor score and sleep disturbance factor score(r values: from-0.688 to-0.453,all P<0.05).Conclusions The binding potential of SDDR in patients with first-episode MDD is declined,and the BPND level of SDDR is correlated with symptoms of depression.The abnormality of SDDR may be an important molecular mechanism of the abnormality of midbrain-striatal dopamine reward circuits in MDD patients.

Objective: To investigate the expressions of serum miRNA-126 (miR-126) and miRNA-30c (miR-30c) in patients with pancreatic cancer, and to analyze the relationship with the occurrence of pancreatic cancer as well as the diagnostic value. Methods: A total of 110 patients with pancreatic cancer diagnosed at the 928th Hospital of the Joint Service Support Force of PLA from January 2014 to December 2018 were selected, and 110 healthy people were also selected as the control group. The expression levels of serum miR-126 and miR-30c of 110 patients and the healthy controls were detected by using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and their relationship with clinicopathological features of pancreatic cancer was analyzed. Results: The levels of serum miR-126 and miR-30c in pancreatic cancer group were lower than those in the healthy control group (0.43±0.12 vs. 1.02±0.27, t = 19.394, P < 0.01; 0.52±0.17 vs. 1.04±0.31, t = 15.426, P < 0.01). There was a positive correlation between levels of serum miR-126 and miR-30c in patients with pancreatic cancer (r = 0.399, P < 0.01). Expression levels of serum miR-126 and miR-30c were not correlated with age, gender and body mass index (BMI) of pancreatic cancer patients (all P > 0.05), but related with tumor size, differentiation degree, TNM stage and lymph node metastasis (all P < 0.05). High expression levels of serum miR-126 and miR-30c were protective factors for pancreatic cancer (all P < 0.05), while smoking, drinking and gallstones were risk factors for pancreatic cancer (all P < 0.05). The area under the curve of combined detection of serum miR-126 and miR-30c for diagnosis of pancreatic cancer was 0.906, the sensitivity was 90.80%, and the specificity was 82.20%. Conclusions The expression levels of serum miR-126 and miR-30c in patients with pancreatic cancer are low. Both of them may be involved in the occurrence and development of pancreatic cancer, and may be used as early diagnostic markers of pancreatic cancer.

Objective: To evaluate the comprehensive workplace health promotion intervention effects on workplace health promotion in 10 government agencies. Methods: A prospective self-controlled design was employed. Baseline evaluation and effectiveness evaluation were both conducted by questionnaire investigation. Results: The intervention results showed that most effectiveness indicators were significantly improved including health behaviors, psychosocial work environment, and health status. After the intervention, the prevalence of passive smoking and physical inactivity decreased from 70.3% and 38.7% to 44.1% and 30.5%, respectively. The scores of job control and social support at work increased by 0.30 and 0.05, respectively. The prevalence of good self-rated health and good mental health raised from 68.3% and 68.8% to 75.6% and 85.6%, respectively. However, the scores of job demand increased by 0.4. Furthermore, the prevalence of occupational stress increased significantly from 45.8% to 65.5%. Conclusion After implementing workplace health promotion, the physical and mental health of the staff have been promoted. However, the occupational stress of government officials still need to be improved.

Objective To explore the correlation between sarcopenia and body fat percentage(BF%)in elderly male patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods A total of 291 elderly male T2DM patients who were hospitalized in the Endocrinology Department of Xuanwu Hospital,Capital Medical University were enrolled in this study from December 2018 to September 2019.All the patients were divided into sarcopenia group(n=35)and non sarcopenia group(n=256).BF%,skeletal muscle mass index(SMI),grip strength,gait speed,HbA1c,hemoglobin(Hb),blood uric acid(SUA),albumin and vitamin D(Vit D)were measured in all the participants.Results Compared with the non sarcopenia group,age,HbA1c and BF%were increased,while BMI,Vit D,SMI,Hb,SUA,ALB,grip strength,and gait speedwere decreased in sarcopenia group(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Pearson correlation analysis showed that SMI was positively correlated with BMI,Vit D,Hb,and SUA(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),and negatively correlated with HbA1c(P＜0.01).Grip strength and gait speed are positively correlated with Vit D and Hb(P＜0.01),and negatively correlated with BF%(P＜0.01).Logistic regression analysis showed that age and BF%were risk factors for sarcopenia,while BMI and Vit D were protective factors for sarcopenia.Conclusions High BF%significantly increases the risk of sarcopenia in elderly male T2DM patients.
