Objective To investigate the relationship between metabolic syndrome (MS) and education level in Su-Xi-Chang area to provide evidence for healthcare policy making. Methods A clustered sampling of 6798 subjects from Su-Xi-Chang areas of Jiangsu Province was included. Questionnaires and physical examinations were completed to collect clinical data. Logistic regression was used to analyze weather education level could be an independent risk factor of MS. Results Significant differences were found in waist circumstance (WC) ,systolic blood pressure (SBP) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) among participants with different education level. Significant differences were also existed in triglyceride and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) between subjects with higher and lower education level ( P＜0. 05 ). In single-factor or multivariate analysis, education level was negatively correlated with the prevalence of MS (P＜0. 05 ). Conclusions Education level may be an independent risk factor of MS. People with low and moderate education level have higher risk of MS. Therefore,it is recommended that health-related information should become an integral part of the compulsory education system.

OBJECTIVETo explore the relationship of Chinese medicine (CM) syndrome with carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and endothelium-dependent vasodilatation function (EDVF) in patients with hypertensive disease (HD) for providing an objective basis of syndrome differentiation in HD patients.

METHODSColor Doppler's ultrasound was used to measure the endothelium-dependent flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of brachial artery and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in 60 HD patients (the HD group) and 30 normal controls (the control group). And the relationship of the outcomes with Chinese medicine syndrome types in patients was analyzed statistically.

RESULTSFMD was lower and CIMT was higher in HD patients of all syndrome types than those in the control group respectively (P<0.01). Comparison between patients of different syndrome types showed that FMD was higher in patients of Gan-fire exuberance type and yin-deficiency and yang-hyperaction type than in those of both yin-yang deficiency type and phlegm-dampness stagnancy type (P<0.01, P<0.05), while CIMT in patients of Gan-fire exuberance type was the lowest in all types, and that in yin-deficiency and yang-hyperaction type was lower than in yin-yang deficiency type (P<0.01).

CONCLUSIONCIMT and FMD may be used as a reference index for CM syndrome differentiation in HD patients.

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have confirmed that embryonic stem cells call be induced to differentiate into insulin-producing cells, but the induction process takes a long time. Most of the processes take about one month.OBJECTIVE: Activin A, all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and nicotinamide were applied in vitro in combination to observe whether mouse embryonic stem cells could be induct to differentiate into insulin-producing cell in a relatively short time.DESIGN: Cell observation experiment.SETTING: Shanghai Institute of Endocrine and Metabolic Diseases, Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China.MATERIALS: This study was performed at Shanghai Institute of Endocrine and Metabolic Diseases from October 2004 to February 2006. Two mice of clean grade and of 12.5-14.5 days of gestational age were provided by Shanghai SLAC Laboratory Animal Co., Ltd (Permission No. 2004A034). The protocol was performed in accordance with ethical guidelines for the use and care of animals. Mouse embryonic stem cell lines were supplied by Dr Changxian Zhang (CNRS UMR5641, France). Activin A was the product of the R & D Corporation. ATRA and nicotinamide were supplied by the Sigma Corporation, USA. BFGF was supplied by Gibco Corporaion. METHODS: Head and viscera were removed from embryos of the pregnant mouse. The remaining tissues were cut into pieces and digested with trypsin. Cell suspension was centrifuged and inoculated at 3×108L-1. The cells could be used as mouse feeder layer after 2-3 times of passage. The mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) were inoculated onto the feeder layer in knockout Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium (DMEM) supplemented with leukemia inhibitory factors (LIF). ESCs were passaged at 1:3-1:6 after 2-3 days of culture. Culture medium with serum was added into the culture dishes to terminate the digestion. Cell fluid was centrifuged and supernatant was discarded. The sediments were prepared into suspension and inoculated at 2.5×104 with LIF-free culture medium. After 24-48 hours, embryonic bodies (EBs) were collected and replated in 1% Matrigel-coated dishes. When began to adhere to the dishes, EBs were cultured in 10% FBS/DMEM supplemented with 100μg/L activin A for 24 hours. Then EBs were switched to 10% FBS/DMEM for 6-8 hours as an interval. After this interval. EBs differentiated were cultured in 10% FBS/DMEM with 10<-6mol/L RA for another 24 hours followed by culture in 10% FBS/DMEM supplemented with 10μg/L bFGFs for 3-5 days. Finally, EBs differentiated were cultured in DMEM/F12 supplemented with N2 supplement, B27 supplement, 1μg/L laminin, 10μg/L bFGFs, and 10mmol/L nicotinamide for 3-5 days. Dithizone (DTZ) staining, inununofluorescent staining and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were applied to detect insulin expression in the differentiated cells.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Induction of ESCs, DTZ staining and immunofluorescent staining as wel as RT-PCR detection.RESULTS: Mouse ESCs growing on a feeder layer formed many colonies with clear boundary and dense structure. However, there was no obvious outer limit between these ESCs. EBs began to adhere to the dishes, which were coated with matrigel, on the 2nd day. After activin A and ATRA interval induction, EBs spread, and most of the living cells were epithelial cell-like when cultured in 10% FBS/DMEM supplemented with 10μg/L bFGFs. After culturing in DMEM/F12 supplemented with N2, B27, nicotinamide, bFGFs and laminin, the cells formed small clusters. The insulin-producing cells were stained dark red with DTZ, and the cells stained with primary antibody to insulin were insulin-positive. After 2 weeks of induction of activin A, ATRA, bFGFs and nicotinamide, the insulin-producing cells expressed insulin 2, Pdxl, Nkx6.1, Nkx2.2, PP, IAPP, Glut2, Somastatin, Hnf3β and Neuro D mRNA but did not express insulin 1 mRNA.CONCLUSION: Mouse ESCs call be induced to differentiate into insulin-producing cells by activin A, ATRA, bFGFs and nicotinamide in vitro. Induction time call be shortened to 2 weeks.

Objective:To analyze the clinicopathological characteristics of patients with unknown etiology of portal hypertension and investigate the efficacy of endoscopic management of gastroesophageal varices in these patients.Methods:Patients with unknown etiology of portal hypertension and gastroesophageal varices who received liver biopsy between January, 2017 and January, 2020 in Zhongshan Hospital were included. The characteristics of pathology, portal computed tomography (CT) angiography, and endoscopy were recorded and follow-up for the occurrence of bleeding after treatment.Results:A total of 31 patients were included and divided into cirrhosis with unknown etiology group ( n=10) and non-cirrhotic portal hypertension group ( n=21). Patients in the non-cirrhotic group were younger [28.0(29.5-49.5) vs 58.5(43.5-65.8), P=0.004] and mostly male (71.4%), and fewer comorbidities including diabetes (4.8% vs 40.0%, P=0.027). The features of pathology finding including vasculopathy, cholestasis, and hepatic sinusoidal dilatation as well as the Sarin classification and bleeding rate of gastroesophageal varices, proportion of patients receiving endoscopic treatment were shown similar between the two groups ( P>0.05). The hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) was significantly lower in the non-cirrhotic group [4.5(2.8-12.8)mmHg vs 12(8-18)mmHg, P=0.018]. Among them, 21 patients received endoscopic treatment, and the bleeding rate had no difference between these two groups after endoscopic treatment ( P=0.751). Conclusions:Non-cirrhotic portal hypertension in a predominantly young male population has similar clinicalpathological characteristics when compared to cirrhotic portal hypertension with unknown etiology. HVPG can not reflect the actual portal pressure in these patients. Endoscopic treatment is the effective treatment option for the prevention of variceal bleeding.

Abstract: Objective　To investigate a poisoning incident caused by eating eight treasure congee, and establish liquid chromatography (LC)-mass spectrometry (MS)/MS screening method of 28 alkaloids to provide references for disposal of similar poisoning incidents. Methods　LC-MS/MS was used for screening 28 alkaloids in the urine, eight treasure congee and food raw material, and the detected alkaloids were quantified. Samples were extracted with 0.4% formic acid aqueous solution and separated by a Acquity UPLC BEH C18 column (1.7 μm, 100 × 2.1 mm). Acetonitrile-0.2% formic acid aqueous solution was used as the mobile phase and gradient elution was adopted. The ionization mode was electrospray positive ionization mode, and the detection method was multi-reaction monitoring (MRM). Analytes were quantified with the external standard method. Results　In the concentration range of 0-100 ng/mL, the linear correlation coefficient r were greater than 0.999 for 28 alkaloids. The recovery of 28 alkaloids in urine sample ranged from 63.0% to 105.0%, and the relative standard deviations (RSDs) were between 5.8% and 8.6%. The recovery of 28 alkaloids in eight treasure congee sample ranged from 72.0% to 109.0%, and the RSDs were between 6.3% and 9.7%. The recovery of 28 alkaloids in semen sesami nigrum sample ranged from 60.0% to 95.0%, and the RSDs were between 4.8% and 8.2%. Hyoscyamine (2 380.0 ng/mL), scopliamine (3.6 ng/mL) and rac-anisodamine (4.7 ng/mL) were detected in the patient's urine. Hyoscyamine (63.3 μg/g), scopliamine (5.7 μg/g) and rac-anisodamine (2.1 μg/g) were detected in eight treasure congee. Hyoscyamine (901.0 μg/g), scopliamine (80.0 μg/g) and rac-anisodamine (30.1 μg/g) were detected in the seed of Datura stramonium L. The ratio of scopliamine and hyoscyamine in the seed of D. stramonium was 1∶11, which complies with the characteristics of D. stramonium L. In urine sample, the proportion of scopliamine and rac-anisodamine was 0.15% and 0.20%, and hyoscyamine accounted for 99.65%. Conclusion　Seed morphology, the content range and proportion of three alkaloids are all in accord with the characteristics of D. stramonium. Combined with the clinical symptoms of atropine poisoning, it can be deduced that this incident is a family food poisoning caused by accidental consumption of seed of D. stramonium L. The method can provide technical support for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of alkaloid poisoning patients, and also provide a basis for emergency detection and disposal of alkaloid poisoning events.
