Objective To explore sonographic manifestation of fetal malformations of cortical development.Methods From August 2012 to January 2014 three hundred and twenty-five pregnancy women referred to our institution for fetal brain MRI,which were diagnosed or suspected of central nervous system abnormalities by prenatal ultrasound examination.Results In 325 of cases,14 cases (4%) were diagnosed of malformations of cortical development.Ten eases were indicated by prenatal ultrasound,including three cases of heterotopic gray matter,six cases of microcephaly and one case of hemimegalencephaly; four cases were missed by prenatal ultrasound,including two cases of schizencephaly,one case of tuberous sclerosis,and one case of hypoplasia.Conclusions Cortical malformations can be diagnosed by prenatal ultrasonography based on typical imaging characteristics.Prenatal ultrasound combined with MRI is a powerful tool in diagnosing fetal malformations of cortical development.

Objective To evaluate the testing ability of iodine in the disease control and prevention institutes at all levels in Shandong,and to raise their testing ability.Methods The testing ability of salt iodine,water iodine and urinary iodine of iodine deficiency disorders laboratories at provincial,prefectural and county levels in Shandong in 2016 was evaluated.The testing results of salt iodine were evaluated by using reference value ± uncertainty.The testing results of water iodine and urinary iodine of all the participatory laboratories were evaluated by using standard Z score generated from laboratories participated in the examination.Results One provincial and 17 prefectural salt iodine,water iodine and urinary iodine laboratories and 30 county level salt iodine laboratories took part in the national examination.Both the feedback rate and qualified rate of the testing results were 100%.The 65 urinary iodine laboratories at the county level took part in the provincial examination.The feedback rate was 92.3% (60/65),and the qualified rate was 75.4% (49/65).Conclusions The results of the national examination have showed that the testing ability at all levels of the laboratory is maintained at a higher level;the results of the provincial examination have showed that the testing ability of most of the county level urinary iodine laboratories is relatively stable at a higher level.The testing ability of some county level urinary iodine laboratories is low.We should focus on strengthening the county level urinary iodine laboratory construction.

Objective To observe the effects of Xiaomudan Granules on cholesterol synthesis in rats with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD);To explore its mechanism on the treatment of NAFLD based on mTORC1/USP20/HMGCR pathway.Methods Totally 60 SD rats were randomly divided into blank group,model group,Western medicine group(polyene phosphatidylcholine)and TCM low-,medium-and high-dosage groups(Xiaomudan Granules).The blank group was fed with ordinary diet,and the other groups were fed with high-fat diet for 12 weeks to establish NAFLD rat model.After successful modeling,each administration group was given the corresponding drug intragastric administration,and the blank group and model group were given aseptic distilled water intragastric administration for 4 weeks.Body mass and liver mass of rats were recorded,liver index was calculated,and serum alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)contents were detected by automatic biochemical analyzer,the morphological changes of liver tissue were observed by HE staining and oil red O staining,real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blot were used to detect ribosome S6 kinase(S6K),ubiquitin specific protease 20(USP20),3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reduction enzyme(HMGCR)mRNA and p-S6K,S6K,USP20,HMGCR protein expression in liver tissue.Results Compared with the blank group,the body mass,liver mass and liver index of rats in model group significantly increased(P<0.01,P<0.05),the volume of liver lobe increased,the edge was blunted;the contents of serum ALT,AST,TC,TG and LDL-C significantly increased,while HDL-C content significantly decreased(P<0.01);most hepatocytes showed steatosis,significant vacuole and inflammatory infiltration,increased lipid droplets,and significantly increased mRNA expression of USP20 and HMGCR in liver tissue(P<0.01)and protein expressions of p-S6K,USP20 and HMGCR(P<0.01).Compared with the model group,TCM high-dosage group and Western medicine group could significantly decrease body mass,liver mass and liver index of rats(P<0.01,P<0.05),and improve the appearance of liver;decrease the contents of ALT,AST,TC and LDL-C in serum,and increase the content of HDL-C(P<0.01,P<0.05);alleviate hepatocyte steatosis and balloon-like degeneration,reduce lipid droplet deposition,and decrease USP20,HMGCR mRNA and p-S6K,USP20,HMGCR protein expression in liver tissue(P<0.01,P<0.05).Conclusion Xiaomudan Granules may regulate cholesterol synthesis through mTORC1/USP20/HMGCR pathway,and thus play a role in the treatment of NAFLD in rats.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of total cholesterol / high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (TC/HDL) for ischemic stroke in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) .Methods:A total of 1 983 inpatients with CHD in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 were selected as subjects by cluster sampling method. The clinical data were collected and followed up prospectively for 2 years.Results:During the 2-year follow-up period, 36 cases of ischemic stroke occurred in patients with CHD, and the incidence rate was 1.82% (36/1 983) . There was a curvilinear relationship between TC/HDL and ischemic stroke in male patients with CHD, and the tipping point was 3.84.When TC / HDL was less than 3.84, TC / HDL was negatively correlated with the incidence of ischemic stroke. The incidence of ischemic stroke decreased by 72% for each additional unit of TC/HDL ( P=0.049) . When TC/HDL was over 3.84, there was no correlation between TC / HDL and the incidence of ischemic stroke ( P=0.267) . There was a curvilinear relationship between TC/HDL and ischemic stroke in female patients with CHD, and the tipping point was 2.81. When TC / HDL was less than 2.81, TC / HDL was negatively correlated with the incidence of ischemic stroke. The incidence of ischemic stroke decreased by 99% for each additional unit of TC/HDL ( P=0.019) . When TC/HDL was over 2.81, there was no correlation between TC / HDL and the incidence of ischemic stroke ( P=0.110) . Conclusions:TC/HDL has different thresholds in predicting ischemic stroke in CHD patients with different genders, which has a certain clinical significance in predicting the prognosis of patients with coronary heart disease.

OBJECTIVE To improve the efficiency and quality of dispensed oral drug management in the inpatient pharmacy, and ensure the safety of drug use in patients. METHODS SWOT (strength, weakness, opportunity, threat) analysis method was used to analyze the internal strengths and weaknesses, as well as the external opportunities and threats in the construction of a closed-loop management system for dispensed oral drugs in the inpatient pharmacy of our hospital, and propose improvement strategies. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS A refined, full-process, closed-loop traceability management system for dispensed oral drugs in the inpatient pharmacies was successfully established, which is traceable in origin, trackable in destination, and accountable in responsibility. After the application of this system, the registration rate of dispensed drug information and the correctness rate of registration content both reached 100%. The proportion of overdue drug varieties in the same period of 2024 decreased by 77.78% compared to March 2020, the inventory volume decreased by 29.50% compared to the first quarter of 2020, the per-bed medication volume decreased by 32.14% compared to the first quarter of 2020; the average workload per post in the same period of 2023 increased by 49.09% compared to 2019, the dispensing accuracy rate reached 100%, and the improvement rate of quality control problem increased by 25.25% compared to 2021. This system effectively improves the safety and accuracy of dispensed oral drug management in the inpatient pharmacy.
