1.Use of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire in Diagnosis of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
Chinese Journal of Gastroenterology 2015;(7):439-441
Gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD)is a commonly seen digestive disease. So far,there is no golden standard for the diagnosis of GERD. The main diagnosis methods used in clinical practice include gastroscopy,24 h esophageal pH monitoring and proton pump inhibitor test,however,these methods are either invasive or complex in procedure and with low diagnostic accuracy rate. Gastroesophageal reflux disease questionnaire(GerdQ)possesses multiple advantages such as simple,non-invasive and easily acceptable. This article reviewed the use of GerdQ in diagnosis of GERD.
2.The structure and function of glycoprotein hormone receptor Lgr6
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2016;23(5):780-782
Objective Leucine -rich repeat (LRR) -containing G protein -coupled receptor 6 (Lgr6) is glycoprotein hormone receptor and a part of G protein -coupled receptors (GPCRs).Lgr6 is composed of 977 amino acid residues of a polypeptide chain.Having 17 leucine -rich repeats and seven transmembrane domain.In the N -and C -termini are connected with cysteine -rich sequences.It is highest homologous to Lgr4 and Lgr5,but less relationship with thyroid stimulating hormone receptor,progesterone receptor,and follicle -stimulating hormone recep-tor.Research found out that Lgr6 marks in the hair follicles of stem cells can differentiate into all cells in the skin and Lgr6 expression in tumor also has important biological significance.

Data were analyzed based on Colaizzi' s phenomenological research method. Results Six themes were extracted including: sense of worthlessness;heavy burden of work;respond actively and continuous learning;sense of satisfaction and achievement;the future is mixed;eager to pursue further study. Conclusions College students of elderly service and management major have heavy burden of work and feel worthlessness, they worry about the future, so educators in colleges, managers of nursing homes and national policy-makers should take targeted measures to stable talent team of old-age service.

Objective To observe and study the influence degree of strengthen training for family members for the treatment compliance and unhealthy lifestyle of patients with diabetes mellitus. Methods A total of 64 patients with diabetes mellitus from January 2015 to March 2016 were selected and divided into two groups by the method of random number table,32 patients in control group were taken care with routine nursing of diabetes mellitus,32 patients in observation group were taken care with strengthen training for family members,then the treatment compliance,related knowledge cognition of unhealthy lifestyle and unhealthy lifestyle situation of two groups before the intervention and at 4th, 8th and 12th week after the intervention were compared. Results The treatment compliance, related knowledge cognition of unhealthy lifestyle and unhealthy lifestyle situation of two groups before the intervention all had no obvious differences (all P>0.05). The treatment compliance at 4th, 8th and 12th week after intervention were (6.26 ± 0.32), (6.95 ± 0.36), (7.28 ± 0.40) scores in observation group, and (5.23 ± 0.29), (6.01 ± 0.30), (6.30 ± 0.33) scores in control group, and the differences were significant (t=8.253, 9.201, 10.257, all P<0.05). The related knowledge cognition of unhealthy lifestyle at 4th, 8th and 12th week after intervention were (80.78±5.90), (89.44±6.02), (93.43±6.20) scores in observation group, and (73.38± 5.73), (77.93±5.84), (82.20±6.01) scores in control group, and the differences were significant (t=11.258,12.563, 13.324, all P<0.05 ). The unhealthy lifestyle situation at 4th, 8th and 12th week after intervention were 75.00%(24/32), 90.63%(29/32), 96.88%(31/32) in observation group, and 59.38%(19/32), 68.75%(22/32),78.13%(25/32) in control group, and the differences were significant (χ2=7.251, 7.468, 9.169, all P<0.05). Conclusions The influence of strengthen training for family members for the treatment compliance and unhealthy lifestyle of patients with diabetes mellitus are more active, so the value of strengthen training for family members of patients with diabetes mellitus is higher.

Objective To explore the preventive effect of Bailing capsules(BL) on myocardial fibrosis in the viral myocarditis(VMC) mice models and to clarify the possible mechanism.Methods The models of VMC were established by injecting Coxsackie virus B3 (CVB3) solution into 50 BALA/C mice.The 31 mice were divided into model group(n =11),large dose BL group(n =10)and small dose BL group (n =10).At the same time the control group (n =10) was established.The mice in model group and control group were fed with water 1 mL/d,the mice in large dose BL group were fed with BL at a dose of 7.5 g/(kg · d),and the mice in small dose BL group were fed with BL at a dose of 2.5 g/(kg · d).After 60 d,the levels of angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ) in blood serum of mice in various groups were detected by using ELISA.Myocardium tissue of mice was stained by Masson and collagen volume fraction(CVF)was accounted.At the same time,the content of periostin mRNA and transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-[β1) mRNA in myocardium tissue of mice were detected by adopting reverse transcription(RT)-PCR.Results Compared with the control group,the levels of serum Ang Ⅱ,CVF,TGF-β1 mRNA and periostin mRNA were increased (all P < 0.01) in the model group.Compared with the model group,the levels of serum Ang Ⅱ,CVF and TGF-β1 mRNA were obviously decreased in large dose BL group and small dose BL group (all P < 0.05).Compared with the model group,the level of periostin mRNA was obviously decreased in large dose BL group (P < 0.05),but the level of periostin mRNA in small dose BL group was not decreased obviously (P > 0.05).Conclusions BL can offer some protection to myocardial fibrosis in VMC mice.The possible mechanism may be performed through inhibiting the expression of serum Ang Ⅱ and TGF-β1 in myocardium tissue to reduce the expression of periostin.

Objective To detect the levels of plasma gelsolin(GSN),vitamin D binding protein(VDBP)and coagulation?related parameters in peripheral blood between pre?eclampsia,then analyze their relationships with the onset or development of pre?eclampsia. Methods A total of 30 women with severe pre?eclampsia(SPE)and 30 women with mild pre?eclampsia(MPE)were enrolled for the study and randomly chosen as trial group. 30 normal pregnancies with matching gestational ages were selected as control group?1 and 30 normal full?term pregnancies were randomly chosen as control group?2. The levels of GSN,VDBP,platelet(PLT),prothrombin time(PT),thrombin time(TT),activated partial thromboplas?tin time(APTT),fibrinogen(FIB),and D?dimer were compared between those groups. Results The levels of GSN,VDBP and PLT,PT,APTT, FIB in SPE group were significantly lower than that of MPE group(P<0.05),and the level of D?dimer was significantly higher(P<0.05). In healthy pregnant women between control group?1 and control group?2,GSN fell during gestational weeks,with a concomitant rise in VDBP with no significance(P>0.05). There were no statistical difference among all the levels of coagulation?related parameters in healthy pregnant women(P>0.05). Conclusion GSN and VDBP levels in pre?eclampsia are significantly lower than that of normal pregnant women,along with pathological hy?percoagulative state,and which are related to severity of disease.
