Chinese Journal of Gastroenterology 2015;(7):417-420
Background:Some functional dyspepsia(FD)patients are accompanied by sleep disorder,which severely affects the quality of life. Aims:To explore psychological factors and quality of life of FD patients with sleep disorder. Methods:A total of 240 FD patients from Jan. 2013 to Jan. 2014 at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University and the Affiliated Hospital of Yan’an University were enrolled,and were divided into sleep disorder group and non-sleep disorder group according to Pittsburgh sleep quality index. Zung’s self rating anxiety scale,Zung’s self rating depression scale and SF-36 quality of life questionnaire were performed in all the patients. Results:Compared with non-sleep disorder group, the incidence of anxiety(72. 5% vs. 40. 8% )and incidence of depression(65. 0% vs. 37. 5% )were significantly higher in sleep disorder group(P < 0. 05). Score of physical function(86. 65 ± 3. 84 vs. 88. 88 ± 4. 56),vitality(44. 79 ± 18. 13 vs. 54. 63 ± 9. 63),mental health(46. 90 ± 11. 47 vs. 63. 42 ± 17. 60),general health(42. 79 ± 11. 07 vs. 58. 29 ± 14. 99)in sleep disorder group were significantly lower than those in non-sleep disorder group,and no significant differences in physical role function,emotional role function,social role function,and body pain were found between the two groups(P > 0. 05). In patients with sleep disorder,the incidence of mental disorder was significantly different among young age group,middle age group and old age group(50. 0% ,55. 0% ,80. 0% ,respectively)(χ2 = 8. 10,P < 0. 05), and the incidence of mental disorder in male patients was significantly lower than that in female patients(32. 6% vs. 79. 2% ;χ2 = 25. 62,P < 0. 05).

Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2021;28(3):389-393
Objective:To analyze routine blood test results of pregnant women at different periods of pregnancy and evaluate the health status of pregnant women.Methods:A total of 240 pregnant women with anemia who underwent antenatal care or delivery in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, The People's Hospital of Yuhuan from January 2018 to June 2019 were included in this study. They were divided into three groups according to different periods of pregnancy with 80 women in each group: first trimester, second trimester, and third trimester. Additional 80 non-pregnant women who concurrently received health examination were included as controls. Routine blood test results were compared among groups. The incidence of microcytic anemia and macrocytic anemia at different periods of pregnancy was determined.Results:The incidence of microcytic anemia in the third trimester group [3.75% (3/80)] was significantly lower than that in the first trimester group [26.25% (21/80)] and the second trimester group [25.00% (20/80), χ2 = 15.882, 14.675, both P < 0.05]. The incidence of macrocytic anemia in the third trimester group [22.50% (18/80)] was significantly higher than that in the first trimester group [1.25% (1/80)] and the second trimester group [3.75% (3/80), χ2 = 17.260, 12.333, both P < 0.05]. Red blood cell count and hemoglobin and hematocrit levels in the peripheral blood of pregnant women in the first, second and third trimester groups were significantly lower compared with the control group ( t = 8.579, 16.781, 13.964, 10.154, 15.891 and 15.512, all P < 0.05). Red blood cell count, hemoglobin and hematocrit levels in the second trimester group were significantly lower than those in the other three groups (all P < 0.05). In the first, second and third trimester groups, white blood cell count and percentage of neutrophils were increased, and platelet count was decreased ( t = 23.085, 24.187, 27.941, 15.722, 22.153, 13.277, 31.517, 32.901, 32.227, all P < 0.05) compared with the control group. The increases in white blood cell count and percentage of neutrophils in the second trimester group were significantly greater than those in the first and third trimester groups, and platelet count in the third trimester group was significantly lower than that in the first and second trimester groups (all P < 0.05). Conclusion:Monitoring routine blood indexes can help assess the health status of pregnant women. Adjusting nutrition program in time can decrease the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Objective To investigate the effects of seed sources and storage conditions on the seed germination rate of Valeriana officinalis. Methods The seeds of V. officinalis under different storage conditions were used as materials for germination test, and the germination rate was calculated and compared according to the results. Results The seed germination rate of valerians is varied with different sources. The seed germination rate of V. officinalis is higher than that of V. officinalis var. latifolia, and the seed germination rate of cultivated valeriana is much higher than that of the wild plant. The storage periods, storage temperature, and germination conditions also affect the germination rate. Conclusion To maintain the seed germination rate, the seed of V. officinalis should be stored in conditions with ventilation and at suitable low temperature. Lower temperature helps to prolong the seed life with relatively high germination rate. Valeriana seed should also be propagated at available temperature conditions in proper seasons.

Aim To investigate the effect of simvastatin ( Sim ) on endogenous antioxidant system after acute myocardial infarction ( AMI ) and its potential mecha-nisms. Methods The acute myocardial infarction ( AMI ) rat models were made by ligation left anterior descending of coronary artery. Then the successful models were randomly divided into myocardial infarc-tion group ( MI group) and simvastatin group ( Sim,20 mg·kg-1·d-1), another group without ligation left anterior descending of coronary artery served as sham group(Sham group). The Sim group was administered simvastatin by gavage for 7 days. MI group and Sham group received saline. Hemodynamic parameters, lipid levels, troponinI ( c-TnI ) and lactate dehydrogenase ( LDH) concentrations were examined after 7days, and the levels of superoxide dismutase ( SOD) and glutathi-one peroxidase ( GP) of myocardial antioxidant system were detected by ELISA. The expression of cardiac p-Akt and p-eNOS protein were detected by Western blot. Results Acute myocardial infarction significant-ly lowered cardiac hemodynamic parameters, increased serum c-TnI and LDH levels, lowered levels of SOD and GP, and lowered the expression of p-Akt and p-eNOS protein. However, Sim could effectively prevent the deterioration of cardiac function, reduce serum c-TnI and LDH levels, increase levels of SOD and GP, and increase p-Akt and p-eNOS protein expression. Conclusion Early using Sim can effectively improve heart function after acute myocardial infarction, acti-vate myocardial antioxidant system,and reduce myocar-dial necrosis, which may be related to increasing the expression of p-Akt and p-eNOS.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of Liriope platyphylla total saponin (LPTS) on learning, memory, neuromediators and metabolites in aging mice induced by D-galactose. METHODS: Ninety Kunming mice were randomly divided into nine groups: normal saline (NS)-treated group, untreated group, high- (100 mg/kg), medium- (50 mg/kg) and low-dose (10 mg/kg) LPTS-treated groups, Shuxuening-treated group, jiaogulanosidi-treated group, flunarizine-treated group and vitamin E-treated group. The Kunming mice in the NS-treated group were administered with NS by intraperitoneal injection, while the aging mice in the other eight groups were administered with D-galactose by intraperitoneal injection. At the same time, the aging mice in different groups were fed with corresponding drugs for 42 days, and the aging items of the mice in different groups were measured, respectively. RESULTS: LPTS could improve the memory of aging mice induced by D-galactose, promote its body weight, and increase the thymus and spleen indexes of the aging mice. LPTS could decrease the levels of MDA and lipofuscin, inhibit MAO activity and increase SOD activity and GSH-Px level. CONCLUSION: LPTS may improve the ability of learning and memory and delay aging.
