Objectives To validate the Screening Tool for the Assessment of Malnutrition in Pediatrics (STAMP) in hospitalized pediatric patients, and to assess the nutritional status and nutritional risk using STAMP. Methods the nutritional status of hospitalized pediatric patients was investigated by adopting STAMP. The STAMP score≥4 was deifned as a high standard of nutritional risk. Results Among 1 506 hospitalized children, children with high nutritional risk accounted for 26.56%. The overall prevalence of malnutrition and stunting was 19.12%and 10.16%, respectively. There was signiifcant diffe-rence in stunting among each department (P<0.05), which was the highest in department of internal pediatrics. The proportion of patients receiving nutritional support was 10.09%. Among them, the rate of parenteral and enteral nutrition support was 7.84%and 2.92%, respectively. The ratio of parenteral nutrition to enteral nutrition was 2.68:1. After intervention to hospitalized pa-tients with high nutritional risk, the overall prevalence of high nutritional risk decreased from 26.56%at admission to 21.71%at discharge (P<0.05). Conclusions STAMP can objectively relfect the possible malnutritional risk in hospitalized pediatric patients. The nutrition condition of the pediatric patients can be improved through nutritional risk management.

Mutations and deletions of the tumour suppressor PTEN are frequently involved in the development of cancer.However, PTEN is also tightly controlled by various non-genomic mechanisms,such as the epigenetic silen-cing of PTEN, post-transcriptional regulation by non-coding RNAs and post-translational modification.

Objective To understand the personality and self-rated health status and the relationship between them in medical students. Methods By multi-stage cluster random sampling, 878 medical students were selected to investigate the personality by Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised (Short Scale For Chinese) and the health status by self-rated health measurement scale (SRHMS1.0). Results The score of L dimension among male and female medical students was significantly higher than that of nation- wide young population. The scores of E, N and P dimensions had no significant difference between them. The score of P dimension of male students was significantly higher than that of female students. The score of students' SRHMS was 339.28?41.19, which was higher than that of general population in China. The score of physical health subscale among male and female students was 144.90?11.41 and 142.73?11.36, respectively (t=2.829, P=0.005). The scores of SRHMS and its three subscales were significantly different in medical students with different personality traits except the score of physical health subscale in students with different grades of P dimension. The scores of E and L dimensions had significantly positive correlation with SRHMS, and the scores of N and P dimensions had significantly negative correlation with SRHMS. Conclusion The personality traits of medical students were remarkably influenced on their self-rated health. To encourage medical students to reform the wholesome personality will be helpful to their health.

Objective To investigate the effect of ketamine on the cGMP content in cerebral cortex, hypothalamus and brain stem in a rat model of CFA-induced arthritis. Methods Twenty-four SD rats weighing 200-220 g were randomly divided into three groups with 8 animals in each group, group Ⅰ: normal rat + intraperitoneal normal saline (ip NS);group Ⅱ : arthritic rat+ ip NS;group Ⅲ: arthritic rat + ip ketamine 100mg?kg-1 . Arthritis was produced by injecting CFA 0.05 ml into left ankle joint which developed inflammatory response within 24h and became hyperalgesic. The hyperalgesia persisted for more than 6 weeks. Three days after the arthritis model was established, paw withdrawal latency (PWL) to radiant heat was measured. 15 min after ip ketamine the animals were decapitated and cerebral cortex, hypothalamus and brain stem were separately isolated for determination of cGMP content using radioimmunoassay. Results In arthritic rats the PWL was significantly shortert (6.7 ? 1.2)s] than that in the normai rats [(12.5?1.9)s] ( P

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of arsenic trioxide (ATO) on anti-dsDNA antibody and the expression of DNA methyltransferase 1-mRNA and CD11a-mRNA in lupus MRL/lpr mice.Methods MRL/lpr mice were divided into three groups:the ATO group,the sodium chloride(NS) group,and the cyclophosphamide(CTX) group.The control group consisted of 20 syngeneic normal C57/BL mice,which were subdivided into the ATO group and the NS group.After two-month treatment,all mice were sacrificed.Blood routine test was conducted by SYSMEX KX21.The anti-dsDNA antibody in the serum were detected by ELISA.The expression of DNMT1 and CD11a was determined by RT-PCR.ANOVA and paired t test were used for statistical analysis.Results① The serum level of anti-dsDNA antibody(0.89±0.07) and the gray scale value of CD11a-mRNA(0.43±0.25) in the ATO group were much lower than those in the NS group of MRL/lpr mice(1.77±0.28,P＜0.01; 0.99±0.31,P＜0.05),while the gray scale value of DNMTI-mRNA (0.32±0.30) was significantly higher than that in the NS group(0.16±0.26,P＜0.05 ).② The serum levels of anti-dsDNA antibody was low in both the ATO group and the CTX group (0.90±0.07,0.66±0.22),and it was higher in the ATO group than that in the CTX group (P＜0.05).The gray scale value of DNMT1 mRNA in the ATO group (0.32±0.30) was higher than that in the CTX group (0.16±0.18,P＜0.05) in MRL/lpr mice,and the gray scale value of CD11a mRNA in the ATO group(0.43±0.25) was lower than that in the CTX group (0.86±0.31,P＜0.05) in MRL/lpr mice.③ There was no difference in above parameters between the ATO-group and NS group in C57/BL mice(P＞0.05).ConclusionArsenic trioxide can reduce the serum level of auto-antibody and reverse low methylation.But it has no effect on normal mice.

Objective To analyze the relationship between HBsAg level and HBV DNA level as well as illness severity in patients with HBV-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF).Methods One hundred and nineteen patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB group) and 98 patients with ACLF(ACLF group) were enrolled.HBsAg and HBeAg were assayed with Roche electrochemical luminescence method.HBV DNA was quantified using a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay.HBsAg and HBV DNA levels were compared between two groups and between HBeAg-positive and HBeAg-negative patients in ACLF group respectively,also the correlationbetween HBsAg and HBV DNA was studied.Results The proportions of HBeAg-negative patients were 68.4％(67/98) and 42.9％(51/119) in ACLF group and CHB group respectively,and there was significant difference between two groups (P ＜0.01).There was no significant difference in HBV DNA between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).HBV DNA in HBeAg-positive patients was higher than that in HBeAg-negative patients in two groups(P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in HBsAg between HBeAg-positive patients and HBeAg-negative patients in ACLF group (P ＞ 0.05 ),but they were higher than that in HBeAg-positive patients in CHB group (P＜ 0.05).HBsAg was correlated to ALT,AST in HBeAg-positive patients (P ＜ 0.05).No significant correlation was found among HBsAg and HBV DNA as well as biochemical changes (P＞ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the ratio of different HBsAg levels among the patients of different HBV DNA in ACLF group (P＞ 0.05).Conclusion The level of HBsAg does not directly correlate with serum HBV DNA level,and has no directly correlation with the severity of the disease in patients with HBV-related ACLF.

OBJECTIVE: To observe whether injection of medicine into low hydraulic resistance point along meridian brings about higher medicinal effect and to explore the efficacy of the theory that meridians are made up of channels featuring low hydraulic resistance by observing the diuretic effect of injecting furosemide or saline into the low hydraulic resistance point Shuifen (CV 9), vein and Zusanli (St 36) respectively. METHODS: Acute edema was induced in pigs by rapid intravenous injection of 2 000 ml normal saline. The pigs were divided into four groups: Shuifen (CV 9) injection of half dose furosemide group (SFF group), intravenous injection of full dose furosemide group (VF group), Zusanli (St 36) injection of full dose furosemide group (ZSLF group), and Shuifen (CV 9) injection of half dose normal saline group (SFS group). The accumulated urine quantity and the urine quantity generated in every 15-minute period were measured in each group respectively, every 15 minutes after injection, and the measurement lasted for two hours at one experiment. Each group involved eight times of experiments with one pig used for one experiment, which means the whole observation involved 32 times of experiments. RESULTS: The accumulated urine quantities observed in both SFF group and VF group were higher than those in the ZSLF group and the SFS group all through the measurement, showing significant differences during the period from the 15th minute to the 45th minute (P<0.05). But no significant difference was observed between the SFF group and the VF group during the whole 2-hour measurement (P>0.05). Analysis of urine quantity generated in every 15-minute period showed that diuretic effect climaxed during the 15th minute to the 30th minute in both SFF group and VF group. By contrast, ZSLF group reached diuresis climax during the 45th minute to 60th minute and no diuresis climax was observed in the SFS group all through the measurement. CONCLUSION: Injection of medicine into low hydraulic resistance point along meridian generates faster and more powerful medicinal potency, and this is likely to be applied to clinical practice. The theory that meridians are channels featuring low hydraulic resistance is important to the elucidation of meridians.
