Objective To discuss the effects of relying on social groups,membership and health education on the quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods 110 patients with type 2 diabetes as social group members were randomly selected as the intervention group,meanwhile,113 cases of nonsocial group members were set as the control group.Quality of Life Scale(SF-36) was adopted to assess the survival quality.All patients were given follow-up after six months to score again.Results There was no significant difference in each dimension score between the two groups before the intervention.After six months follow-up,the control group in each dimension score showed no obvious difference compared with half a year ago.While in the intervention group,the difference was statistically significant in dimension of general health,vitality,emotional functions,mental health and social function compared with half a year ago.Conclusions The quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes can be improved by the establishment of social organizations and health education.

Objective To investigate the characteristics and neural mechanisms of visual attention dysfunction in patients with hypertension using the event related potentials(ERPs).Methods Visual Oddball pattern was adopted to analyze P3a and P3b components of 15 essential hypertensives and 15 normotensives,and all the participants were submitted to cognitive assessment by Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE).Results ①Novelty stimulus:the mean amplitude of N2 in hypertensive patients ((1.56± 1.15) μV) was decreased than normal controls ((-2.19±1.15) μV,P<0.05),particularly at forehead-central sites (P<0.05).In addition,the amplitude of P3a of hypertensive patients ((6.27± 1.01) μV) was different from normal controls ((7.09± 1.01) μV),but there was no statistical significance(P>0.05).The latency of visual P3a was significantly longer in patients with hypertension group ((432.83 ± 8.22) ms) than that in control group ((403.10 ± 8.22) ms,P> 0.05).②Target stimulus:compared with control group ((6.75 ±0.90)μV),visual P3b amplitude in hypertension group ((4.08 ± 0.90) μV) was significantly declined (P< 0.05).Besides,the latency of visual P3b of hypertensive patients ((440.70 ± 6.42) ms) was different from normal controls ((436.91±6.42) ms),but there was no statistical significance(P>0.05).③Compared with control group (27.31± 1.22),the M MSE score of patients with hypertension (24.55±2.42) was decreased (P<0.05).The amplitude of visual P3b was positively correlated with MMSE scores in parietal region(r=0.51,P<0.05).Conclusions The abilities of visual involuntary attention and voluntary attention are damaged in patients with hypertension,the impact degree of hypertension on two kinds of attention and the neural mechanisms are different.Moreover,there is a significant positive correlation between the amplitude of visual P3b and MMSE,which prompts that visual P3b for clinical early assessment of attention in patients with hypertension provides more objective neurophysiological basis.

Dryness is the inherent performance in traditional Chinese medicine. Dryness with a specific efficacy and side effect can be reduced suitably by processing and compatibility in the clinical application. Nowadays domestic scholars have developed research of dryness in traditional Chinese medicine. However, it remains problems such as evaluation index of dryness not clear. This paper takes medical literature mining technology to analyze the historical origin and features of dryness theory. Combing the modern literatures to explicate the dryness' research status and existing problems. Putting forward the traditional Chinese medicine and research should adopt multidisciplinary knowledge and study the system of comprehensive evaluation. Dryness is expected to further application in traditional Chinese medicine clinical research.

Objective To explore the factors related to the severity of disease symptoms in patients with acute leukemia (AL). Methods 198 AL patients with symptoms of disease (anemia, bleeding, infection, fever, etc.) from September 2013 to July 2016, were evaluated by the questionnaires of self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS), eysenck personality questionnaire (EPQA), Toronto alexithymia scale (TAS), family environment scale (FES), self-rating scale of illness conception and health seeking behavior (ICHSB). The results were compared with 198 healthy volunteers. Results The scores of SDS, SAS, factorⅠin FES, factor Ⅲ in FES, factor Ⅳ in FES, nervous and the total scores of EPQA, factor Ⅱ in TAS, factor Ⅱ in ICHSB were significantly higher in AL patients than those in healthy subjects [(41.09 ±6.85) scores vs. (36.74±6.99) scores, t=2.150, P=0.031; (38.64±7.51) scores vs. (31.79±7.57) scores, t= 3.327,P=0.001;(2.38±1.54) scores vs. (5.18±1.33) scores, t=3.319, P=0.001;(3.31±1.82) scores vs. (2.23±1.99) scores, t= 3.325, P= 0.001; (2.41±1.62) scores vs. (5.75±1.51) scores, t= 3.332, P= 0.001; (14.14±5.37) scores vs. (11.01±5.51) scores, t= 5.179, P= 0.000; (42.97±7.10) scores vs. (40.41±6.51) scores, t= 2.930, P=0.004;(22.97±4.57) scores vs. (21.54±4.13) scores, t=2.926, P=0.004; (16.37±3.89) scores vs. (15.92± 3.93) scores, t= 2.104, P= 0.034]. The difference was statistically significant (P< 0.05). The risk factors of AL were SAS (95 %CI= 1.064-1.210, P= 0.001), factor Ⅲ in FES (95 %CI= 1.104-1.694, P= 0.004), age (95 %CI= 1.027-1.094, P= 0.001), factor Ⅱ in TAS (95 %CI= 1.046-1.352, P= 0.005), besides, education level (95 %CI= 0.708-0.866, P= 0.001) acted as the protective role. Conclusions AL patients tend to the psychological problems such as depression, anxiety. Those will show much severer symptoms as a consequence of lacking of family warmth and concern, low expression of emotion, lacking of organization, low economic capacity, tension, and lacking of the ability to distinguish between emotion and physical feelings.

ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) and scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI/CLA-1) are the key proteins in reverse cholesterol transport (RCT). The high expression of ABCA1 and SR-BI/CLA-1 can decrease the danger of atherosclerosis. The purpose of the study is to find ABCA1 and CLA-1up-regulators for treating atherosclerosis by using cell-based high throughput screening models. Among 20 000 compounds screened, E0869 [1-(3, 4-dimethylphenyl)-1-oxopropan-2-yll4-((methylsulfonyl)methyl)benzoate] was found as the positive hit. The up-regulated activities of E0869 in ABCAl1-LUC and bCA-l1-LUC HepG2 cell were 160% and 175%, respectively. The EC50 values of E0869 in ABCAl1-LUC and CLA-l1-LUC HepG2 cell were 3.79 and 1.42 pμol- x ,(-1) respectively. E0869 could upregulate the mRNA and protein levels of ABCA1, SR-BI/CLA-1 and ABCGJ1genes in HepG2 and RAW264.7 cells by Real-Time Quantitative PCR and Western blotting analysis, but could not influence the expression of FAS, SREBP-l1 and CD36. Foam cell assay showed that E0869 could inhibit lipids accumulation in mouse peritoneal macrophages RAW264.7. Cholesterol efflux assay showed that E0869 could induce HDL-mediated cholesterol efflux in mouse peritoneal macrophages RAW264.7. In conclusion, E0869 could up-regulate ABCA1 and CLA-1 activity, and had good anti-atherosclerotic activity in vitro.

8. Detection Method and Degradation Dynamics of Chlorfenapyr in Honeysuckle Under Field Conditions
Chinese Pharmaceutical Journal 2020;55(1):58-61
OBJECTIVE: To develop a gas chromatography (GC) method for determination of chlorfenapyr in flower buds of Lonicera japonica Thunb, and study the degradation dynamics of chlorfenapyr in honeysuckle collected through field experiment, thus providing theoretical references for the application of chlorfenapyr in practical production of honeysuckle. METHODS: Honeysuckle samples were extracted with acetone using a vortex mixer and then cleaned up by passing through a neutral alumina chromatography column, followed by detection by gas chromatography with electronic capture detector (GC-ECD). External standard method was used for quantification. RESULTS: At fortified levels of 0.02-0.5 mg•kg-1, the average recoveries of chlorfenapyr in honeysuckle were from 83.9% to 97.6%, with RSDs of 0.6%-9.2%. The limit of detection was estimated to be 7.3 μg•kg-1. The degradation dynamics of chlorfenapyr in honeysuckle conformed to first-order dynamic equation. The degradation half-life of chlorfenapyr was 2.3 d. CONCLUSION: The method developed in this experiment is simple, rapid, reliable and in line with the requirements of pesticide residue analysis. The degradation rate of chlorfenapyr in honeysuckle is relatively rapid. Chlorfenapyr belongs to pesticides which are liable to degradation.
