1.Variation tendency in serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol and apolipopro-tein A-Ⅰ in different thyroid function status during pregnancy
Journal of Peking University(Health Sciences) 2015;47(6):910-913
Objective:To study the metabolism of high density lipoprotein cholesterol ( HDL-C ) and apolipoprotein A-Ⅰ( ApoA-Ⅰ) in different thyroid function status during pregnancy. Methods:This study re-cruited thirty cases of euthyroid, with nineteen cases of subclinical hypothyroid and eight cases of subclini-cal hyperthyroid pregnancy. The concentrations of fasting serum HDL-C and ApoA-Ⅰwere detected and ana-lyzed from 9-12, 14-17, 23-26, and 37-40 gestational weeks. Friedman repeated measures ANOVA on ranks was adopted to analyze the changes of serum HDL-C and ApoA-Ⅰat different stages. General line-ar model ( GLM) was adopted to analyze the differences of serum HDL-C and ApoA-Ⅰin different thyroid function status during pregnancy. Results:There were no significant differences of maternal serum HDL-C among different stages (χ2 =5. 428,P=0. 143,χ2 =2. 027,P=0. 567,χ2 =2. 885,P=0. 410). There were significant differences of serum ApoA-Ⅰduring euthyroid and subclinical hypothyroid pregnancies (χ2 =46. 343, P<0. 001,χ2 =35. 984, P<0. 001), and no significant difference during subclinical hyperthy-roid pregnancy (χ2 =6. 750, P=0. 080). There were significant differences of serum HDL-C and ApoA-Ⅰbetween euthyroid and subclinical hyperthyroid pregnancies (P=0. 025,P=0. 027), and no significant differences between euthyroid and subclinical hypothyroid pregnancies (P=0. 378,P=0. 549). Conclu-sion:Subclinical hyperthyroidism affected the metabolism of maternal serum HDL-C and ApoA-Ⅰ, which could affect the fetal growth and development. Subclinical hypothyroidism ( after treatment with drugs) had no obvious effect on the metabolism of maternal serum HDL-C and ApoA-Ⅰ.

Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2016;32(4):274-277
Objective To evaluate the effect of IKAP(Information-Knowledge-Attitude-Practice) theory on twin pregnancy women′s psychological states, satisfaction and childbirth outcomes. Methods One hundred twin pregnancy women who had made registrations and antenatal examination were divided into the intervention group and the control group with 50 women in each group according to randorn digit table. The twin pregnancy women in the control group received routine antenatal examinations. In addition, the twin pregnancy women in the intervention group received a special health education with IKAP theory. The twin pregnancy women′s anxiety, depression, birth outcomes and satisfaction were measured and compared between the two groups. Results The score of Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) in the intervention group was 27.64±2.86 and 26.53±2.96 one week after delivery, significantly lower than those upon admission, 44.18 ±2.53 and 47.42 ±4.82, the difference was statistically significant (t=5.41, 4.49, P<0.01), also lower than those of the control group, 46.53±2.39 and 39.68±3.78, the difference was statistically significant (t=3.63, 6.82, P<0.01). No significant difference was seen in SAS and SDS scores between upon admission and one week after intervention in the control group (P>0.05). In the intervention group the rate of cesarean section was 29.17% (14/48), and the score of satisfaction was (9.01±0.78), they were also significantly higher than those of the control group, 53.06%(26/49), (7.82±1.44), the difference was significant (χ2=7.701, t=4.806, P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the delivery pregnancy week, volume of bleeding 2 hours postpartum and Apgar score between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions The IKAP theory on twin pregnancy women can decrease the anxiety, depression and the rate of cesarean section, and increase patient satisfaction.

Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2004;0(07):-
Objective To study the ultrasonographic characteristics of Wilms′tumor (WT), aims at elevating the diagnostic level.Methods We retrospectively studied sonographic features in 30 cases of WT proved by operation and pathology.Results The tumors with heterogeneous pattern of solid and cystic tissue were shown in 22 cases.Seven cases demonstrate predominantly echogenic tumor. A huge cystic mass with numerous septas was shown in 1 case. The tumor extended into renal pelvis in 4, into renal vine in 1.The tumor metastasized to lymphnod in 1, to bilateral lungs in 1. Among 30 cases, the tumor was huge and grew beyond the renal profile in 26 cases, in 3 cases the tumors took up the renal sinus and made its structure turbulence, the renal shape was approximately normal.One case was extrarenal WT,the tumor located in retroperitonemu.Conclusions Sonographically, typical WT is a large heterogeneous mass within or without cystic areas, it also can be a pure cyst. It is easy to diagnose. When the tumor is limited to renal outline, it is easy to confusion with renal cancer. In addition, there are bilateral WT and extrarenal WT. The sonographic characteristics is similar among WT, clear cell sarcoma of kidney, malignant rhabdoid tumor and congenital mesoblastic nephroma. It is difficult to distinguish them from ultrasonography.

Objective To explore the correlation between executive function and white matter lesions (WML) and the diagnostic value by clock drawing test(CDT) in patients with vascular dementia (VaD). Methods Twenty-seven VaD patients and twenty-five normal control subjects were evaluated with CDT to assess the executive function. CDT was scored according the four point method. Age-related white matter change rating scale (ARWMCrs) was used qualitatively to measure and locate the WML by cranial MRI scanning. Results 1. The scores of CDT in normal cognition health and VaD were ( 3.88 ± 0. 33 ) and ( 1.74 ± 0. 98 ). The difference between two groups was statistically significant (P<0. 01 ). The humerous part and the point part were the earliest to decline in the VaD Patients. The scores of WML were (5.12 ± 4. 19) and ( 11.19± 3.09), respectively. There was significant difference between two groups(P < 0. 01 ). The scores of CDT had significant positive correlation with MMSE scores and negative correlation with WML scores (P < 0. 01 ). Conclusion The executive functional impairment in patients with VaD could be associated with the degree of WML.

Objective To observe the effect of autophagy inhibitor on the activation of alcohol induced hepatic stel-late cells, and the mechanisms thereof. Methods HSC-T6 cells were cultured in vitro and divided into four groups, includ-ing blank control group, alcohol group, 5 mmol/L 3-MA+alcohol group (low alcohol group) and 10 mmol/L 3-MA+alcohol group (high alcohol group). RT-PCR was used to detect the expression levels ofα-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and typeⅠcollagen. The levels of LC3Ⅱ,α-SMA and typeⅠcollagen were detected by Western blot assay. The cell viability of HSC-T6 was detected by MTT assay. Results The mRNA expressions ofα-SMA, typeⅠcollagen and the protein of expressionsα-SMA, typeⅠcollagen and LC3Ⅱwere significantly up-regulated in alcohol group compared with those of control group (P<0.05), while the expressions of those parameters were significantly down-regulated in 10 mmol/L 3-MA+alcohol group (P<0.01). The mRNA and protein levels ofα-SMA and typeⅠcollagen were significantly decreased in two 3-MA-treated groups compared with those in alcohol group (P<0.05). Meanwhile, compared with the 5 mmol/L 3-MA+alcohol group,the protein expressions ofα-SMA, typeⅠcollagen and LC3Ⅱwere significantly decreased in10 mmol/L 3-MA+alcohol group (P < 0.05 ). Compared with the alcohol group,there was significantly lower proliferation activity in all two 3-MA-treated groups (P<0.05). Conclusion 3-MA can inhibit the protein expression of LC3Ⅱ,α-SMA and typeⅠcollagen induced by alcohol in HSC-T6 cells, and inhibit the proliferation of HSC cells.
