Objective:To investigate the correlation between subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) and clinical outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods:From July 2014 to October 2017, patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to Jiangsu Shengze Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University were enrolled retrospectively. Their demographic and baseline clinical and laboratory data were collected. The modified Rankin Scale was used to evaluate the clinical outcome at 3 months after the onset of symptoms. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent correlation between SCH and clinical outcome of patients with acute ischemic stroke. Results:A total of 200 patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled, including 107 males (53.5%) and 93 females (46.5%). Their age was 69.67±11.38 years. There were 45 patients (22.5%) with SCH, 160 (80.0%) with good outcomes, and 40 (20.0%) had poor outcomes. Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in the baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, stroke etiology classification and the proportion of patients with SCH between the poor outcome group and the good outcome group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high NIHSS score (odds ratio 2.884, 95% confidence interval 2.005-4.147; P=0.001) and SCH (odds ratio 19.527, 95% confidence interval 2.334-163.386; P=0.006) were the independent risk factors for poor outcomes. Conclusion:High NIHSS score and SCH were associated with the poor outcomes at 3 months after the onset of acute ischemic stroke.

Objective To explore a novel long-circulating dual-receptor targeting and dual-modal molecular probe and investigate its physicochemical properties and targeting effect on breast cancer cells in vitro. Methods Dual-receptor targeting and dual-modal molecular probe RGD@BBN-lipo(QDs)-SPIO was synthesized in the following steps: long-circulating liposome was prepared by film dispersion method;water-soluble superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles and Quantum dots (QDs) were loaded in the hydrophilic and hydrophobic layer of liposome, respectively;RGD and BBN polypeptides were coupled on the former functional magnetic/fluorescent liposomes. Stability of the probe in different physiological solutions was investigated. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and particle size analyzer were used to measure nanoparticle sizes and the Zeta potential. Characterization of RGD and BBN was investigated through 1H-NMR and elemental analysis. The MRI T2 relaxivities (1/T2) of RGD@BBN-lipo(QDs)-SPIO was measured through T2 map scanning on 3.0 T MR system. HUV-EC-C cells were used for assessment of cells viability by MTS assay. Prussian blue staining and fluorescence imaging were carried out to determine the targeted breast cellular uptake of RGD@BBN-lipo(QDs)-SPIO nanoparticles. Results The targeting magnetic/fluorescent dual-model molecular probes appeared spherical or para-spherical,with a mean diameter of(118.2±3.9)nm,Zeta potential of (-24.78±1.68) mV,MR T2 magnetic relaxation rate of 0.498 1× 106 M-1 · s-1.RGD and BBN polypeptides were successfully coupled on the former functionally magnetic/fluorescent liposomes with the bind rates of 33.05%and 45.06%, respectively. There was low cytotoxity of the molecular probe on human umbilical vein endothelical cells(HUV-EC-C)by MTS study. Prussian blue staining and fluorescence imaging studies showed that the RGD@BBN-lipo(QDs)-SPIO nanoparticles could target any αvβ3 or gastrin releasing peptide receptor overexpression breast cancer. Conclusions RGD@BBN-lipo(QDs)-SPIO is a novel long-circulating dual-receptor targeting and dual-modal molecular probe and has excellent physicochemical properties and stability, high T2 relaxivities and strong targeting effect on cancer cells and has laid a solid foundation for early diagnosis of breast cancer.

ObjectiveTo explore the characteristics and correlation of intelligence development and socioemotional development in 1~3 years old children with expressive language disorder,and provide a basis for early intervention.Methods125 cases with expressive language disorder(language disorder group) and 126 normal children (normal group) are evaluated in two parts (intelligence and social mood) with 0~6 years old neuropsychological development diagnosis scale and Chinese version of urban infant-toddler social and emotional assessment.Results (1)The scores in language disorder group were lower than normal group in the area of free movements (81.60±10.40 vs 89.62±7.94),adaptability (81.48±10.95 vs 91.25±8.89),language (67.46±7.20 vs 89.13±8.24),social behavior (76.61±9.73 vs 90.12±8.13) and total developmental quotient (80.17±6.39 vs 91.15±6.05) (P<0.05).(2) There were significant differences between language disorder group and normal group in the area of externalizing behavior(56.28±10.15 vs 53.57±7.91),deregulation (56.45±10.61 vs 51.11±9.32) and capabilities(46.79±9.08 vs 51.25±7.47) (P<0.05).The boys' scores in internalizing behavior were lower than the girls' (49.19±10.76 vs 54.71±9.90) (P<0.05).(3) The scores of gross motor had positive correlation with externalizing behavior (r=0.220,P<0.05).The scores of language had negative correlation with externalizing behavior and deregulation(r=-0.650,P<0.05;r=-0.470,P<0.05).The scores of social behavior had negative correlation with externalizing behavior (r=-0.208,P<0.05).There was also a negative correlation between total development and deregulation (r=-0.184,P<0.05).(4) Multiple stepwise linear regression results showed that the externalizing behavior domain and mothers' education could predict 44.1% of variances in the language area.ConclusionThe children with expressive language disorder not only show backward in level of language development,but also in the development of other areas,and also bad social behavior and emotional problems.Individualized parenting interventions should be adopted to promote these children's intelligent development in an all-round way.

Objective To explore possible associations between host polymorphism of HLA classⅡgenotypes and advanced hepatosplenic schistosomiasis japonica.Methods 45 advanced schistosomiasis patients(experimental group) and 44 age,and sex,matched patients with chronic schistosomiasis(control group) from the same area were investigated for their HLA class II gene DRB genotypes by genotyping the alleles using microarray DNA chip.The correlation of allele frequencies to advanced hepatosplenic schistosomiasis was compared for the two groups.Results HLA,DRB1*04x exhibited markedly higher frequency in advanced patients than that in control group(P

Objective To study the outcomes and influencing factors of the conversion from normal glucose tolerance -hyperinsulinemia (NCT-HINS) to diabetes in the population of a community in Beijing.Methods All the subjects investigated received 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) for diabetes screening carried out in May, 2006 and May, 2008. Data were calculated to analyze the outcomes and influencing factors of the conversion. HINS was diagnosed if fasting serum insulin & 15 mIU/L and/or 2-hour serum insulin after glucose loading ≥ 80 mIU/L Results The prevalence of NGT-HINS in the community in 2006 and 2008 was 5.28% and 8.67% (P<0.01) respectively and that of diabetes mellitus (DM) and impaired glucose regulation (IGR) was 3.52% , 6.56% in 2006 and 4.42% ,6.47% in 2008.The probability of the conversion from NGT-HINS to IGR and DM was 18.6% and 2.3% , being much higher than that from normal glucose tolerance- normoinsulinemia (NGT-NINS) (5.4% and 0.7% , P <0.01). However, the probability of the conversion from NGT-HINS to DM was 2.3% , which was much lower than that from IGR (26.3% , P <0.01). The reason might be that individuals with NGT-HINS had a higher waist circumference, BMI, fasting plasma glucose, 2 h plasma glucose and TG but a lower HDL-C than individuals with NGT-NINS in 2006. The HOMA β-cell function index/HOMA insulin resistance index (HBCI/IR) of individuals with NGT-HINS was much lower than that of individuals with NGT-NINS, but much higher than that of individuals with IGR. Logistic regression analysis showed that age, TG and HBCI/IR were the major influencing factors of the conversion from NGT to glucose metabolic disorders.Conclusions The probability of conversion from NGT to DM was increased remarkably when HINS was diagnosed. The reason might be that individuals with NGT-HINS suffered more metabolic risk factors and had a decreased β-cell function. Therefore, individuals with NGT-HINS should be paid attention to in diabetes prevention study.

Objective To evaluate the safety of mefformin in the treatment of elderly type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM). Methods Two hundred and forty-three cases of elderly T2DM hospitalized from Jan.1996 to Dec. 2006 were reviewed; the changes of fasting blood glucose(FBG), postprandial blood glucose (PBG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), liver and renal function and blood lactic acid were evaluate before and after treatment. Results The mean time of treatment with mefformin was (6.6±3.9) years (3 months-21 years)in these 243 cases. The levels of FBG, PBG and HbAlc significantly reduced after treatment with mefformin only in 43 cases (17.7%), mefformin combined with other oral hypoglycemic drugs in 124 cases (51.0%) and mefformin combined with insulin in 76 cases (31.3%). There was only 18.1% of the cases with normal range ( > 80 ml/min) of creatinine clearance rate (Ccr), and 25.8% of the cases with Ccr≤50 ml/min. The liver and renal function as well as the blood lactic acid had no significant change after treatment no matter in total cases or in different groups separated by Ccr.Conclusions Mefformin is safety in the treatment of elderly T2DM patients. Ageing is not the contraindication of mefformin. To the patients with high risk, we should monitoring the level of blood lactic acid.

Objective　To study the correlation of NLRP3 with inflammatory factors and neurological function recovery in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients.Methods　Seventy-one AIS patients were enrolled,blood samples were collected at 3~72 hours after stroke onset.The mRNA levels of NLRP3 were detected by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR).Serum levels of inflammatory cytokines IL-6,IL-1β and TNF-α were detected by ELISA.The modified RanKin sore (mRS) was used to evaluate the recovery of AIS patients 3 months after stroke onset.Thirty-eight healthy normal people were recruited as a controls,blood samples were collected during recruitment.Results　The mRNA levels of NLRP3 in the blood of AIS patients were significantly higher than thos normal control group (P<0.05).Conclusion　Analysis showed that the NLRP3 mRNA levels were positively correlated with the mRS score (r=0.357,P=0.002).In addition,the levels of inflammation-related IL-1β,IL-6,and TNF-α in AIS patients were significantly higher than those in the normal control group,with P<0.05.The mRNA expression of NLRP3 was positively correlated with the levels of inflammatory factor IL-1β(r=0.31,P=0.016),but not significantly correlated with IL-6 (r=0.07,P=0.751) and TNF-α (r=0.14,P=0.186).The prognosis of AIS patients with higher levels of NLRP3 expression in the blood is worse.In addition,the inflammatory factor IL-1β mediates the pathogenesis of NLRP3.

Objective To investigate the correlation between subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) and carotid atherosclerosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods Patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to Nanjing Shengze Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from July 2014 to July 2017 were enrolled retrospectively.SCH was defined as elevated levels of serum thyroid stimulating-hormone (TSH),but the free thyroxine (FT4) and free-triiodothyronine (FT3) levels were normal.Carotid plaque and carotid stenosis were assessed using carotid ultrasound.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the correlation between SCH and carotid atherosclerosis.Resuts A total of 176 patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled,including 81 females and 95 males;36 complicated with SCH,126 complicated with carotid atherosclerotic plaques,and 9 had carotid stenosis.High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (1.36±0.48 mmol/L vs.1.18 ± 0.30 mmol/L;t =2.090,P =0.039) and TSH (6.29[5.44-7.01]mU/L vs.1.87[1.31-2.67] mU/L;Z =9.243,P =0.001) levels in the SCH group were significantly higher than those in the non-SCH group.There were significant differences in age (73.5[65.0-80.0]years vs.68.0[56.0-75.0]years;Z =2.707,P=0.007),stroke etiology classification (x2 =9.270,P=0.038),TSH level (2.19[1.47-3.72]mU/L vs.2.18[1.24-2.62]mU/L;Z=3.230,P=0.001),and the proportion of patients with SCH (26.98％ vs.4.00％;x2 =11.622,P =0.001) between the plaque group and the non-plaque group.There was no statistical difference in demographic and clinical data between the stenosis group and the non-stenosis group (all P ＞0.05).Multivariatelogistic regression analysis showed that advanced age (odds ratio 1.050,95％ confidence interval 1.014-1.088;P =0.006) and SCH (odds ratio 5.328,95％ confidence interval 1.322-21.468;P =0.019) were the independent risk factors for carotid atherosclerotic plaques.Conclusion Advanced age and SCH were the independent risk factors for carotid plaque in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for acute ischemic stroke in patients with lower extremity atherosclerosis (LEA).Methods The consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to hospital within 7 d after onset were enrolled retrospectively.Color Doppler flow imaging was used to detect LEA.The demographic characteristics,vascular risk factors,and laboratory parameters were identified and analyzed.Results A total of 156 patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled,including 138 with LEA.Univariate analysis showed that age (69.5± 11.8 years vs.60.4± 11.5 years;t =3.063,P =0.003) and the proportion of patients with hypertension (81.1％ vs,55.6％;x2 =2.467,P =0.014) in the LEA group were significantly higher than those in the non-LEA group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after adjustment for confounders such as gender,baseline systolic blood pressure,diabetes mellitus,and ischemic heart disease,age (odds ratio [OR] 1.059,95％ confidence interval [CI] 1.016-1.105;P=0.007),and hypertension (OR 3.128,95％ CI 1.084-9.026,P =0.035) were the independent risk factors for acute ischemic stroke complicated with LEA.Conclusions Age and hypertension are associated with acute ischemic stroke complicated with LEA.
