The incidence, disability rate, and death rate of hypertension related-stroke were also significantly reduced. Conclusion Primary healthcare center-based chronic disease screening, along with the health management network, can largely decrease the incidence, disability rate, and mortality of stroke associated with high blood pressure.

Objective To observe the k-ras mutation rate of colorectal cancer in China, and assess the effect and toxicity in advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) patients (pts) receiving chemotherapy combined with monoclonal antibody against Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR). Methods The k-ras mutation of 139 samples collected from our hospital were tested by pyrophosphoric acid sequencing. Twenty-three advanced colorectal cancer patients were treated with chemotherapy combined with anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody, including 3 initial treated and 20 retreated. In the total 23 patients, 18 were treated with cetuximab and chemotherapy, and S were treated with nimotuzumab and chemotherapy. Cetuximab was taken with 400 mg/m2 first time, and then 250 mg/m2 every week. Nimotuzumab was taken with 400 mg first time, and then 200 mg every week. Eight patients of the total 23 received anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody combined with irinotecan, 12 with FOLFIRI, 3 with FOLFOX4. Results k-ras mutation type (mt) was detected in 39.6 % (55/139) of pts, k-ras wild type (wt) was 60.4 % (94/139). In 22 effect evaluable patients, 5 received PR and 9 SD, and RR and DCR were 22.7 % and 63.6 %, respectively. TTP was 124 days. Thirteen of the 22 patients tested k-ras mutation, of the 11 k-ras mt pts, 4 received PR, 4 SD and 3 PD. Two patients of k-ras mt received PD after 2 cycles treatment. Acneform eruptions were observed in 15 patients of 18 pts who received cetuximab and paronychia in 3 pts. Eruption or paronychia was not observed in all patients who received nimotuzumab. Grade 3 hypersensitivity were occured in 2 patients with cetuximab, and one of them alternated nimotuzumab in next cycle didn't get hypersensitivity any more. Conclusion The mutation rate of k-ras in Chinese colorectal cancer patients was similar with westerners. The effect of cetuximab combined with chemotherapy on advanced colorectal cancer was reliable. Nimotuzumab combined with chemotherapy worth to be studied further because of the promising effect and mild toxicity.

Objective：To explore the difference in creative thinking and the related factors between deaf children and normal children.Methods：Observation group(n=122)with the hearing disability students were selected from 4 special education schools.Control group(n=122)was come from 2 ordinary primary schools and 2 ordinary middle schools.The two groups were given both the New Creativity Test and the Combined Raven's Test.Results：(1)Deaf children got lower scores than normal children in verbal fluency[(7.76±0.75)vs.(12.98±0.59),P<0.001],verbal flexibility[(4.28±0.33)vs.(7.87±0.28),P<0.001],verbal originality [(7.16±0.89)vs.(11.35±0.72),P<0.001],figural flexibility[(9.69±0.35)vs.(11.10±0.31),P=0.003]and IQ[(101.05±1.196)vs.(105.01±1.102),P=0.030].Deaf children got higher scores than normal children in figural elaboration[(3.24±0.40)vs.(1.96±0.22),P=0.006].There was no significant difference in fluency and originality of figural task between the two groups.(2)Deaf children's scores of verbal fluency and verbal originality were positively correlated with their age(β=0.310,0.301;Ps<0.01).Deaf children's scores of verbal flexibility were positively correlated with length of bilingual education(β=0.308,P<0.001).Deaf children's scores of figural fluency,figural flexibility,figural originalityand figural elaboration were correlated positively with their age of sign language(β=0.321,0.308,0.228,0.456;Ps<0.05).Conclusions:(1)Deaf children are lower than normal children in verbal fluency,verbal flexibility,verbal originality,figural flexibility,and are higher in figural elaboration.There is no difference in figural fluency and originality between them.(2)Sign language is a major related factor to deaf children's figural creative thinking.

Background Retinal neovascularization (RNV) is one of the major causes of blindness worldwide,but the pathogenic mechanism of this disease remains unclear, and therapeutic modalities need to be improved.Therefore,it is necessary to identify ocular protein markers with significant expression changes during RNV, thereby providing novel therapeutic targets for neovascular retinopathies.Objective This study was to investigate retinal vessel morphological characteristics and protein expression profiling in a mouse model of oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR).Methods Forty four C57BL/6J mouse pups were randomly divided into normal control group and OIR group at postnatal day 7 (P7).The mice in the normal control group were raised under the normal air for 10 days.The mice of the OIR group were exposed to (75±2)％ oxygen for 5 days.The mother mice were alternated between the two groups every day.The mice of the OIR group returned to normal air at P12.Fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran (FITC-dextran) was retrobulbarly injected at P17 mice from both groups, and the retinal flatmounts were prepared after fixation.The FITC-dextran-labeled retinal vessels were observed and quantified;the paraffin sections of eyeballs were processed for hematoxylin and eosin staining,and the number of pre-retinal vascular cell nuclei was quantified.The total proteins were extracted from the eyes, and the expression profiling was analyzed by a customized protein array and verified by Western blot and ELISA.Results The retinal flatmounts labeled with FITC-dextran showed that the peripheral retinal microvessels in the OIR group were tortuous, disorganized with neovascular buds,and the vascular obliteration was prominent in the center of retina.Contrastly,the vessels were smooth,organized, and evenly distributed in the normal control group.The percentage of vascular obliteration area in the OIR group was (25.53±2.16)％ ,which was significantly higher than (0.66±0.36)％ in the normal control group (t=-27.61 ,P＜ 0.01).The number of pre-retinal vascular cell nuclei,as revealed by hematoxylin and eosin staining, was (28.41 ± 3.97)/slide in the OIR group, which was substantially higher than (0.16±0.31)/slide in the normal control group (t =-54.42,P＜0.001).Protein array showed that 10 out of the 62 examined pro-inflammatory, pro-angiogenic cytokines exhibited more than 1.5-fold expression changes,including 3 up-regulated cytokines and 7 down-regulated cytokines;4 cytokines showed more than 2-fold expression changes,in which 3 cytokines were down-regulated and 1 cytokine was up-regulated.The differential expressions were verified by Western blot and ELISA.The expression trends of platelet factor 4 (PF-4), vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A), selectin P (SELP), vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) ,soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor Ⅱ (sTNF-RⅡ) and chemokine C-X-C motif ligand 16 (CXCL16) were consistent with those revealed by protein array.PF-4,VEGF-A and SELP were up-regulated,and the other 3 were significantly down-regulated (all at P＜0.05).Conclusions Differential expression patterns of the cytokines,including PF-4,VEGF-A, SELP, VCAM-1, sTNF-RⅡ and CXCL16, are identified between normal and OIR mouse eyes.These differential expression patterns suggest that under the condition of OIR,the platelet system is activated,and proinflammatory factors are down-regulated.PF-4 might become a new target for VEGF-independent therapeutic strategy against RNV.

Objective:To investigate the clinical significance of soluble growth stimulating expression gene 2 protein (sST2) combined with neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in the prediction of nosocomial cardiovascular adverse events in patients with acute carbon monoxide poisoning (ACOP) myocardial injury.Methods:Patients with ACOP myocardial injury from January 2017 to December 2019 in Emergency Ward and EICU of Harrson International Peace Hospital, Hebei Medical University were enrolled. NLR was calculated by routine blood examination on admission, and sST2 (T 0sST2, T 3dsST2) was detected by ELISA on admission and at 3 days after admission. According to the occurrence of cardiovascular adverse events, the patients were divided into the event group and the non-event group. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of in-hospital cardiovascular adverse events. ROC curve was used to analyze the value of sST2, NLR, sST2 and NLR combined in predicting the occurrence of in-hospital cardiovascular adverse events in patients with ACOP myocardial injury. Results:Totally 255 patients with ACOP myocardial injury were included in the final analysis. NLR was (13.38±4.33) in the event group and (9.57±4.22) in the non-event group, T 3dsST2 was (61.59±22.67) ng/mL in the event group and (40.52±13.14) ng/mL in the non-event group, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.01). T 0sST2 was (265.34±89.95) ng/mL in the event group and (242.43±93.09) ng/mL in the non-event group, with no statistically significant difference ( P=0.333). Logistic regression analysis showed that NLR ( OR=1.270, 95% CI: 1.125-1.434, P<0.01) and T 3dsST2 ( OR=1.082, 95% CI: 1.052-1.114, P<0.01) were independent risk factors for nosocomial cardiovascular adverse events in patients with ACOP myocardial injury. The optimal cutoff value of T 3dsST2 was 44.5 ng/mL, and of NLR was 12.08. The sensitivity and specificity of dual T 3dsST2 and NLR in predicting nosocomial cardiovascular adverse events was 79.3% and 82.7%, respectively (AUC 0.857, Youden index 0.620). Conclusions:T 3dsST2 and NLR are independent risk factors for the nosocomial cardiovascular adverse events in patients with ACOP myocardial injury. The predictive cutoff values are 44.5 ng/mL for T 3dsST2 and 12.08 for NLR. Combination of T 3dsST2 and NLR has a practical predictive value for nosocomial cardiovascular adverse events in patients with ACOP myocardial injury.
