Objective To study the dependablity of clinical characteristics and prognosis in patients with endometrial cancer,so as to apply the basis for the treatment. Methods The clinical and pathological data of 92 patients with endometrial cancer were analyzed retrospectively, 5-year survival rate was followed and observed. Using Cox proportional hazard regression analysis to evaluate the factors related to overall survival. Results The overall 5-year survival rate was 72.41%. Using univariate analysis, the survival time was correlated with histologic type, pathological staging, histologic grade, myometrium invasion,cervical invasion and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05).Using multivariate analysis, the survival time was correlated with histologic type,histologic grade and myometrium invasion. Conclusions Histologic type, histologic grade and myometrium invasion are independent prognostic factors for survival time of patients. In order to improve the prognosis of the patients, they should be treated by individual therapies.

Objective:
To explore the consumption of sugar sweetened beverages (SSBs) and its association with behavioral problems in Chinese preschool children, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention of behavioral problems of children.
Methods:
A total of 7 634 children aged 3-6 years were chosen from kindergartens in 3 cities (Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Zhenjiang) in the lower reaches of Yangtze River using method of cluster sampling during October to November in 2017. Parental or guardian questionnaires were used to obtain information regarding child consumption of SSBs. The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) was used to assess children s emotional and behavioral problems. Multivariate Logistic regression model was used to explore the association between different SSBs intake frequency and children s behavioral problems.
Results:
A total of 5 509(72.2%) consumed SSBs less than once a day, 830(10.9%) reported SSBs consumption once a day, and 1 295(16.9%) had 2 times or more intake of sugar sweetened beverages per day. After adjusting for confounding factors including age, sex, BMI, family financial status, parental education, screen time, sleep duration, and physical activities duration, multiple Logistic regression model revealed that intake of SSBs once a day was associated with an increased risk of hyperactivity disorder ( OR =1.26, 95% CI =1.01-1.57) and SDQ total difficulties ( OR =1.44, 95% CI =1.14-1.82) in boys and with an increased risk of emotional symptoms ( OR=1.34, 95%CI =1.02-1.76), conduct problems ( OR=1.53, 95%CI =1.18-2.00), hyperactivity disorder ( OR=1.79, 95%CI =1.42-2.27) and prosocial behavior ( OR=1.48, 95%CI =1.14-1.91) in girls. Intake of SSBs≥2 times per day was associated with an increased risk of emotional symptoms ( OR=1.28, 95%CI =1.02-1.59) and SDQ difficulties ( OR=1.30, 95%CI =1.07-1.58) in boys and not with behavioral problems in girls.
Conclusion
Sex differences are observed with respect to the association between SSBs intake and behavioral problems in preschoolers, but no significant dose response relationship was observed. More longitudinal studies are needed to further explore the association between SSBs intake and behavioral problems in preschool children as well as the underlying physiological mechanisms in future.

Objective To study the effect of remote limb isehemic postconditioning (RLIPC) on posterior circulation ischemia vertigo (PCIV). Methods Seventy patients with PCIV, admitted to our hospital from January 2013 and June 2014, were randomly divided into control group and therapy group (n=35). The patients of control group were treated with routine medicine, and those of therapy group were treated with RLIPC and routine medicine. Before and after treatment, dizziness assessment rating scale (DARS) and dizziness handicap inventory (DHI) scale were used to evaluate the changes of manifestations; peak systolic velocity (PSV) and end diastolic velocity (EDV) of vertebra artery (VA) were evaluated by colour doppler ultrasound. Results Before treatment, no significant differences on DARS and DHI scores were noted between the two groups (P>0.05); after treatment, , the DARS and DHI scores in the therapy group were 26.03±4.24 and 60.91±10.15, respectively, which were significantly decreased as compared with those in the control group (28.80±5.16 and 68.11±12.44, t=2.388 and 2.584, P=0.000); PSV and EDV of VA in the therapy group were 49.97±7.69 and 16.90±2.80, respectively, which were significantly increased as compared with those in the control group (47.31±7.47 and 15.12± 2.74, t=-2.505 and-2.631, P=0.015 and 0.011). Conclusions RLIPC could alleviate the symptoms of PCIV, which might be related to increased blood flow of VA. RLIPC is simple and safe, and can be used in the treatment of PCIV.
6.Two year follow up of myopia cohort in central Jiangsu Province
Chinese Journal of School Health 2022;43(9):1298-1300
Objective:
Based on observational, longitudinal and intervention study of common diseases among students in Jiangsu Province, this paper presents the current progress of two year follow up of myopia cohort regarding the association between growth parameters with progression of myopia among children and adolescents in areas with rapid economic growth.
Methods:
This survey adopted the stratified cluster sampling method for school selection. The full automatic computer optometry (TOPCON RM800) was used to track myopia related parameters for all participants from 2019 to 2020 under the condition of mydriasis (compound topicamide eye drops). Relationship between growth parameters of children and adolescents and the incidence and progression of myopia was analyzed by using Cox regression multiple statistical model.
Results:
The myopia rates of students from grade 1 to grade 3 in 2019 were 5.4%, 21.5% and 37.3% respectively. After one year, the myopia rates of all school stages increased to 25.3%, 43.3% and 58.1% respectively( χ 2=53.59, 49.63, 32.52, P <0.01). The mean diopter of right eye and left eye after mydriasis were ( 0.30± 1.24/0.39±1.26)D in 2019 and (-0.33±1.54/-0.19±1.55)D in 2020, respectively based on Cox multiple regression results, age ( HR =1.21, 95% CI =1.09-1.34), naked eye vision ( HR =0.08, 95% CI =0.07-0.11), height ( HR =0.98, 95% CI =0.97-0.99) showed a strong correlation with the incidence and progression of myopia( P <0.05).
Conclusion
Myopia is growing rapidly in the central region of Jiangsu Province. It is suggested that diopter, axial length, naked eye vision, age, height and other indicators should be included in the refractive archives of children and adolescents in the region.

OBJECTIVETo detect mutations of SLC25A13 gene in 20 families affected with citrin deficiency and provide prenatal diagnosis for them.
METHODSThe 20 probands and their parents were subjected to high-frequency mutation screening combined with Sanger sequencing. After confirming the genotype of each pedigree, genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis were performed for their subsequent pregnancies.
RESULTSBiallelic pathogenic mutations of the SLC25A13 gene were identified in all probands. These included three deletions (c.851del4, c.1092_1095delT, and c.495delA), two splice-site mutations (IVS6+5G to A and IVS11+1G to A), two nonsense mutations (c.775C to T (p.Q259X) and c.72T to A (p.Y24X)), one duplication mutation (c.1638_1660dup), one insertion (IVSl6ins3kb), and one missense mutation (c.1775A to C (p.Q592P)). Among 24 fetuses undergoing prenatal diagnosis, 8 had normal genotypes, 11 were mutation carriers, while 5 harbored biallelic mutations. Those with wild type alleles or heterozygous SLC25A13 mutations were delivered. Two fetuses harboring homozygous c.851del4 mutations were also delivered. Three fetuses harboring biallelic mutations were terminated.
CONCLUSIONAnalysis of SLC25A13 gene mutations in families affected by citrin deficiency can provide evidence for molecular diagnosis and facilitate genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis for the subsequent pregnancy, which can effectively reduce the risk of birth of further affected children.

OBJECTIVETo synthesize a biodegradable and minimally cytotoxic amphiphilic block copolymer of PLGA-b-(PEI-co- PEG) and study its micellization behavior.
METHODSPLGA was synthesized by ring-opening polymerization. The cross-linked copolymer of PEI-co-PEG was synthesized from the low-molecular-weight polyethyleneimine (PEI, 1800 D) and hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG, 2000 D). PLGA-b-(PEI-co-PEG) was synthesized by dehydration condensation reaction of PLGA and water soluble PEI-co-PEG. The biodegradability of PEI-co-PEG was evaluated according to the molecular weight change after incubation at 37 ℃ for different time. The cytotoxicity of PLGA- b-(PEI-co-PEG) and PEI-co-PEG in MCF-7 cells was determined by MTT assay. The cationic PLGA-b-(PEI-co-PEG) micelles were prepared by standard dialysis method. The particle size and Zeta potential of the micelles were measured by a Malvern laser particle size analyzer. Micelle/insulin complexes were prepared by simple mixing method and their morphology were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The fluorescence quenching method was used to determine the stability of the micelle/insulin complexes at different salt concentrations.
RESULTSAmphiphilic block copolymer of PLGA-b-(PEI-co-PEG) was successfully synthesized. The half-life of PEI-co-PEG degradation in PBS at 37 ℃ was about 48 h. The 50% cell inhibiting concentration (IC) of PLGA-b-(PEIco- PEG) and PEI-co-PEG in MCF-7 cells were 1375.7 μg/mL and 425.1 μg/mL, respectively. The micelles of PLGA-b-(PEI-co- PEG) (particle size: 99.5±2.61 nm, Zeta potential: 52.9±2.38 mV) were complexed with insulin electrostatic interaction and formed nanoscale micelle/insulin complexes. The dissociation rate of micelle/insulin complexes in 150 mmol/L NaCl solution was 27.6%.
CONCLUSIONSThe synthesized PEI-co-PEG shows good degradability . The cytotoxicity of PLGA-b-(PEI-co- PEG) is significantly lower than PEI-co-PEG, and PLGA-b-(PEI-co-PEG) micelle/insulin complexes have good salt- resistant stability in physiological condition.

In order to improve the clinical attention to the poisoning of chlorfenapyr, the diagnosis and treatment strategy of chlorfenapyr poisoning were discussed. This paper collected 4 cases of chlorfenapyr in the emergency department of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University and 4 cases of literature review, summarized the clinical characteristics of pesticide poisoning cases containing chlorfenapyr in China, and summarized and analyzed the clinical data of the cases. Seven of the 8 patients died from poisoning by chlorfenapyr. Exposure to chlorfenapyr through respiratory tract and digestive tract showed high mortality. Fever, hyperhidrosis, elevated muscle enzymes and progressive central nerve damage were its prominent clinical characteristics. Most of the initial symptoms of exposure were not serious. Some patients, especially those with low exposure dose, had a relatively stable stage with or without clinical diagnosis and treatment. In case of sweating, obvious fever and disturbance of consciousness, the condition would deteriorate rapidly, respiratory and circulatory failure and eventually die. With the increase of production capacity and market launch, people have more opportunities to be exposed to chlorfenapyr. It is urgent to strengthen the basic and clinical research of chlorfenapyr poisoning; Attention should be paid to the observation and treatment in the initial stable stage of poisoning, which can be used as a reference for the treatment of oxidative phosphoric acid dissolving coupling agent (sodium pentachlorophenol) poisoning.
