OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effects of compound whole grain-soybean on insulin resistance and serum adipocytokines levels in impared fasting glucose population.

METHODSAccording to inclusion and exclusion criteria, 163 cases of impared fasting glucose (IFG) Chinese Han population from the age of 40 to 75 years old, were screened from 12 community health centers of three main districts of Nanjing city by the multi-stage cluster and simple randomization method from March to September, 2008. The IFG subjects were randomly divided into the intervention group (87 individuals) and control group (76 individuals) by quasi-experimental design. The intervention group was provided with compound whole grain-soybean and health education, while only health education was provided for the control group. Body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), lipid profiles, fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting insulin (FINS) and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), adipocytokines including leptin, lipocalin 2 (LCN-2) and adiponectin (ADP) levels were measured before and after the half a year intervention period. Chi square test was used to analyze the distribution differences. Two-sample t-test was used to compare the differences of the two groups before and after the half a year intervention period, and paired t-test was used to compare the differences between before and after intervention in the intervention group or control group. Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to compare the differences of all indexes between after and before dietary intervention.

RESULTSAfter dietary intervention for half a year on the IFG population, BMI ((24.87 ± 3.69) kg/m(2)), FBG((6.27 ± 0.24) mmol/L), FINS((7.14 ± 1.05) mU/L) , HOMA-IR (1.99 ± 0.31), leptin ((13.07 ± 2.22) µg /L), LCN-2 ((67.42 ± 18.20) µg/L) of intervention group were decreased significantly compared to the levels of BMI ((25.16 ± 4.07) kg/m(2)), FBG((6.40 ± 0.28) mmol/L), FINS ((7.32 ± 1.54) mU/L), HOMA-IR (2.08 ± 0.45), leptin ((13.43 ± 2.52) µg/L), LCN-2((74.87 ± 17.81) µg/L) before dietary intervention, t values were 4.48, 7.08, 2.05, 3.39, 3.28 and 6.36, respectively, and all P values were < 0.05, while ADP ((5.07 ± 1.51) mg/L) of intervention group after dietary intervention was increased significantly compared to the level of ADP ((4.92 ± 1.53) mg/L) before dietary intervention, t = -2.47 and P < 0.05. The medians (P25, P 75) of differences after and before dietary intervention in the intervention group were BMI (-0.25(-0.68, 0.02) kg/m(2)), FBG (-0.08 (-0.20, 0.00) mmol/L), FINS (-0.15(-0.32, 0.00) mU/L), HOMA-IR (-0.07(-0.12, -0.03)), leptin (-0.36(-0.77, 0.12) µg/L), LCN-2 (-5.85(-14.29, -0.71) µg/L) and ADP (0.15(-0.13, 0.36) mg/L), and the medians of differences of after and before dietary intervention in the control group were BMI (0.00(-0.23, 0.29) kg/m(2)), FBG (0.00(-0.03, 0.04) mmol/L), FINS (-0.01(-0.13, 0.04) mU/L), HOMA-IR (-0.01(-0.05, 0.02)), leptin (-0.07 (-0.57, 0.46) µg/L), LCN-2 (-0.85(-5.39, 1.63) µg/L) and ADP (0.02(-0.19, 0.13) mg/L). There were significantly statistical differences between them (Z values were -3.65, -4.88, -3.08, -5.23, -2.16, -4.43 and 3.05, all P values were <0.05).

CONCLUSIONDietary intervention of compound whole grain-soybean can improves glucose level, increase insulin sensitivity and ameliorate insulin resistance state of IFG population.

Objective: To grasp the present situation of occupational hazards of coal dust in our country, understand our country coal dust workers' occupational health risks, provide information based on evidence and analysis for the government and organize to effectively deal with the current status of high coal workers pneumoconiosis incidence in China, and protect coal dust workers' occupational health. Methods: The research object is the " mining-transportation-use" of coal industrial chain, referring to 33 units. Use field investigation to obtain the coal dust exposure, dust prevention measures and the occupational health data of study object. Use quantitative evaluation method of International council on mining and metals occupational health risk assessment model (ICMM method) and occupational hazard risk index method (index method) , with coal workers pneumoconiosis as health outcomes, to evaluate the coal dust occupational health risks of coal industrial chain. Results: The free silica content of partial coal dust in China is more than 10%, and even to 19.5%. coal dust concentration in workplaces, such as excavating system of dust coal mining (total dust: 22.1~46.5 mg/m³, respiratory dust: 8.4~17.7 mg/m³) , dumper (total dust: 25.2 mg/m³, respiratory dust: 6.9 mg/m³) , transfer tower (total dust: 35.4 mg/m³) of coal transportation and belt coal plough device of coal use (total dust: 36.3 mg/m³, respiratory dust: 14.0 mg/m³) , are much higher than those in other workplaces, and coal dust concentration of workers in these places (2.6~9.3 mg/m³) are much higher than those in other places, which are statistically significant. ICMM method evaluation results show that the risk value of excavating system is between 504~1 089, and the risk value of comprehensive mining system is between 347~2 040, which are far statistically significant higher than that of other systems. Index method evaluation results (excavating system risk value between 3.1~9.7, fully mechanized system risk value between 3.7~9.3) , are basically identical with ICMM method (correlation coefficient r=0.857, P<0.01) . The new cases of coal worker pneumoconiosis are distributed in three post of coal mining, excavating and coal mine mixing. Conclusion Coal-dust hazards are widely distributed in the coal "mining, transportation, and use" industrial chain, which of the underground coal mine is as serious as intolerable, meanwhile the risk of other industrial chain is basically can tolerable. The high coal dust concentration and the high risk of coal dust occupational hazard are concentrated in the excavating system and the comprehensive mining system. It is recommended to start the study on risk assessment and risk response of coal dust health hazard at the national level, and the occupational exposure limit of coal dust should be established according to the content of free silica.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features of renal leukocyte chemokine type 2 amyloidosis (ALECT2).Methods:The prevalence, clinical characteristics, renal histopathological features, and renal outcome of 15 patients with ALECT2 by kidney biopsy were collected in the Department of Kidney Pathology, Shanxi Medical University Second Hospital, Taiyuan, China from January 1993 to December 2023. Immunohistochemistry and mass spectrometry for amyloid proteins were carried out.Results:Fifteen patients with ALECT2 were included in the study, representing 12.93% (15/116) of the renal biopsy-proven amyloidosis cases. There were 5 males and 10 females. The median age at diagnosis was 61 years. All patients had various degrees of proteinuria; 7 patients had nephrotic syndrome; 3 patients had renal insufficiency; 7 patients had microscopic hematuria. Renal biopsy showed that strongly orangophilic amyloid proteins distributed mainly in the renal cortical interstitium, vascular walls, the glomerular mesangium and/or glomerular basement membrane. Eight cases were diagnosed with ALECT2 alone and 7 cases combined with other renal diseases, including 4 cases with membranous nephropathy, 2 cases with IgA nephropathy, and 1 case with subacute tubular interstitial nephropathy. ALECT2 patients with concurrent renal disease showed a higher proteinuria level than those without (3.48 g/24 h versus 4.58 g/24 h). All patients were corroborated by immunohistochemistry to exhibit the specific location of LECT2 in the amyloid fibrils. Mass spectrometry analysis revealed LECT2 polypeptide in 9 patients. Except two patients with worsening renal function, the others showed stable renal function during the mean follow-up period of 12.5 months.Conclusions:ALECT2 is the second common type of renal amyloidosis in our center. The majority of ALECT2 patients show concurrent renal diseases, with a high rate of membranous nephropathy. Amyloid deposits distribute mainly in the cortical interstitium of the kidney, the glomerular mesangium and vascular walls. Mass spectrometry is the most sensitive and specific method for detecting LECT2 amyloidosis.

Objective: To study on the mRNA expression level of IN1 gene associated with the clinical efficacy and prognosis of hepatoblastoma(HB) in children and to elucidate the early warning value of IN1 gene for prognosis and chemotherapy sensitivity. Methods: Forty HB patients were selected based on primary diagnosis and treated from January 2015 to May 2018 in Tongren Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University. The expression level of INI1 gene was detected by using fluorescence immuno-PCR. Clinical data of children with HB were collected, including staging, grouping, risk, efficacy and prognosis of chemotherapy. The relationship between the mRNA expression of IN1 gene and clinical data was analyzed by SPSS 21.0 software. Results: (1)Clinical characters: the medium age of 40 HB patients was(30.50±2.39) months, male 29 cases (72.5%), and female 11 cases (27.5%). There was 1 case (2.5%) of stage Ⅱ HB, 13 cases (32.5%) of stage Ⅲ HB, and 26 cases (65.0%) of stage Ⅳ. The low-and intermediate- risk group had 12 cases (30.0%) of HB, and the high-risk group had 28 cases (70.0%) of HB.(2)Clinical efficacy and prognosis: by July 1^st, 2018, the medium following-up time was (12.2±10.1) months, 4 patients (10%) were treated by chemotherapy without surgery, and 36 patients (90%) were treated by surgery .All patients (100%) received chemotherapy.The average cycle of chemotherapy lasted(13.17±0.02). Ten patients were dead and 30 patients survived till following-up.The overall survival (OS) rates were 75% and the event-free survival rates were 50% (20 patients with HB). (3) IN1 gene mRNA expression: The average PCR quantitative of IN1 gene mRNA of 40 HB patients(2^-ΔCT)was 0.31±0.70.The average mRNA quantitative of HB patients (2^-ΔCT)with high-risk and low/intermediate-risk group was 0.23±0.43 and 0.48±1.13(t=6.363, P=0.05). According to histology diagnosis, the average mRNA quantitative of small cell undifferentiated (SCU) type (12 cases)and other type (25 cases) was 0.09±0.11 and 0.43±0.86(t=4.533, P=0.04). The average mRNA quantitative of patients with or without radical surgery was 0.04±0.03 and 0.34±0.74 (t=2.935, P=0.022). The data of children with poor chemotherapy sensitivity(19 cases)and those sensitive to chemotherapy (21 cases) were 0.03±0.04 and 0.30±0.82, and the difference was statistically significant (t=5.688, P=0.018). Conclusions Poor therapeutic effect results in low mRNA expression of IN1 gene in children of HB.The IN1 gene expression could be an early warning factor for treatment sensitivity and prognosis.

Objective: To analyze the echocardiographic features and prognosis of fetal pulmonary artery sling (PAS). Methods: In this retrospective study, clinical information of 13 PAS cases diagnosed by fetal echocardiography in Beijing Anzhen Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2016 to December 2018 were collected. Echocardiographic characteristics and complications of intracardiac and extracardiac malformations were summarized. Their outcomes were also analyzed. Results: (1) Two out of the 13 pregnant women continued their pregnancies until delivery, while the other 11 terminated the pregnancies. One neonate received surgery in another hospital after birth and was followed up to one year old with normal growth and development. The other infant was lost to follow up after birth. (2) Among the 13 cases, 12 were complete PAS and one (case 13) was partial PAS. Nine cases were complicated by other intracardiac malformations and five by extracardiac malformations. (3) Pulmonary artery development: Echocardiographic data of ten cases (the other three cases were excluded due to absence of detailed echocardiographic information) revealed that one fetus had tetralogy of Fallot with the diameter of pulmonary valve under normal value, while the pulmonary valve diameters of the other nine cases were all within the normal range. The inner diameter of the left and the right pulmonary artery that below the normal values were observed in four and two cases, respectively. One case showed absent distal end of right pulmonary artery with right pulmonary dysplasia, but the normal inner diameter at the beginning of right pulmonary artery. Conclusions Fetal PAS is more likely to be complicated by persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) and ventricular septal defect (VSD) as well as left and right pulmonary artery stenosis. The prognosis of PAS may be improved if operation is performed after birth, but further studies are needed.

Objective To explore the knowledge and training needs of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) among a health checkup population, and to provide evidence for promoting cardiopulmonary resuscitation knowledge and skills at physical examination centers. Methods Using physical examination numbers, the random number table method was used to randomly select 1 000 people from a health checkup population, information collected including their basic information, cognitive status of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and attitudes and behaviors toward cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The statistical analysis was performed using χ2test, a one-way ANOVA, and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results Questionnaires was acquired from 997 consenting adult subjects. From which, 26% had received CPR training, and they demonstrated a low ratio of cognitive knowledge, scoring only 9.94 ± 6.36 (from a possible score of 30). Additionally, 92.1% had a willingness to learn CPR skills, and the CPR performance score was 23.12±3.27 (the highest score was 28). Unmarried people younger than 25 years old, professional and technical personnel, and military men had higher CPR scores than other groups. The CPR learning efficiency of military men, undergraduates, and people younger than 25 years old was higher than other groups. Older people had a lower willingness to learn cardiopulmonary knowledge and the better the feel-good status, the lower the willingness to learn CPR skills, of which OR values were 0.787 and 0.657, respectively (P<0.05). The rate of people learning CPR skills for relatives was higher than for strangers (P<0.05), and 83.8% were willing to receive medical training. Conclusion The health checkup population had a low cognitive level of CPR knowledge, and the willingness to learn CPR was high. To address this, free CPR training should be conducted at medical examination institutions.

Objectives:To observe the anatomical location and mechanism of axis ring fractures (ARF) using 3-D CT scans, and propose a new classification for such fractures.Methods:By reviewing prospectively maintained database collecting ARF from 7 medical centers in China, 202 patients were included in this study. According to anatomical location, ARFs were classified into axis arthrosis fracture (AAF) and axis bony damage (ABD). The axis ring was divided into anterior, middle, and posterior rings, based on the border of the pars interarticularis (or pedicle) of axis. According to the features of ARF and previous study, a new classification was proposed based on the anatomical features of different fracture patterns, which was divided into three types and six subtypes (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2). The incidence of AAF and ABD and their distribution in different location of axis ring and the new classification, were observed.Results:In 202 patients with ARF, 501 anatomical structures were involved. 288 AAFs were found in 178 patients (288/501, 57%), while 213 ABDs were found in 149 patients (213/501, 43%). In anterior ring, 304 structures (304/501, 61%) were involved in injury, with 225 AAF and 79 ABD. In middle ring, 99 structures (99/501, 20%) were involved in injury, and all of them were ABD. In posterior ring, 98 structures (98/501, 19%) were involved in injury, with 63 AAF and 35 ABD. The anterior ring injuries (61%) were more common than middle (20%) or posterior ring (19%). In anterior ring, AAF (84%) were morecommon than ABD (16%); In middle ring, all the injuries were ABD; In posterior ring, AAFs (64%) were more common than ABD (36%). Type A fractures were featured with pedicle fractures and were identified in 30 patients (30/202, 15%). Type A1 fractures were bilateral pedicle fracture lines symmetrically or asymmetrically and identified in 12 (6%) patients; Type A2 fractures were pedicle fracture lineson one side and inferior articular facet injuries or lamina fractures on the otherside and identified in 18 (9%) patients. Type B fractures were featured with superior articular facet injuries or posterior wall of C2 body fractures on one side and identified in 136 patients (67%). Type B1 fractures were superior articular facet injuries or posterior wall of C2 body fractures on one side and pedicle fracture on the other side and identified in 57 (28%) patients; Type B2 fractures were superior articular facet injuries or posterior wall of C2 body fractures on one side and inferior articular facet injuries or lamina fractures on the otherside and identified in 79 (39%) patients. Type C fractures were featured with bilateral superior articular facet injuries or posterior wall of C2 body fractures and identified in 36 patients (18%). Type C1 fractures were bilateral superior articular facet injuries or posterior wall of C2 body fractures symmetrically and identified in 22 (11%) patients; Type C2 fractures were bilateral superior articular facet injuries or posterior wall of C2 body fractures asymmetrically and identified in 14 (7%) patients.Conclusion:ARF could occur in different anatomical locations, and most of these fractures were caused by hyperextension and axial load on superior articular facet on one or two sides. The new CT classification of ARF with three types and six subtypes might provide all fracture patterns, which could be useful for the choice of proper diagnosis and treatment for such fractures.
