Objective To establish the ranges of normal reference values of fetal brainstem-vermis angle (BVA)and brainstem-tentorium angle (BTA)in normal fetuses at different gestational weeks,and to evaluate their clinical values in the diagnosis of mega cisterna magna.Methods Totally 320 normal singleton fetuses between 1 8 and 40 weeks of gestation were enrolled in this study.Three-dimensional ultrasound (3DUS)with volume contrast imaging (VCI)was used to measure their BVA and BTA,the correlations of BVA and BTA with gestational age were analyzed.The BVA and BTA of 24 fetuses with mega cisterna magna were also measured and were compared with those of the normal fetuses.Results In these normal fetuses,the BVA and BTA showed no correlations with gestational age (r=-0.05,0.04,both P >0.05);the ranges of normal reference values of BVA and BTA were 2.23°-19.30°and 18.53°-48.13°, respectively.The BVA and BTA of 24 fetuses with mega cisterna magna were 4.23°-17.42°and 20.41°-40.89°,respectively,which were not significantly different from those of normal fetuses (t =-0.55,0.92, both P >0.05).Conclusions 3DUS with VCI is feasible for measuring the BVA and BTA of fetuses,and the measured values can be used as the reference standards for BVA and BTA measurement in China.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate clinical efficacy and adverse reactions(ADRs)of 4 kinds of the second-generation anti-psychotic drugs in the treatment of acute phase of schizophrenia. METHODS:159 patients with schizophrenia were randomly divid-ed into risperidone group(40 cases),olanzapine group(40 cases),aripiprazole group(39 cases)and ziprasidone group(40 cas-es). All groups were given routine dosage of relevant medicine by routine usage for 6 weeks. Mental status of patients were mea-sured by PANSS before treatment and after 2,4 and 6 weeks of treatment. At the same time,blood glucose,blood lipid,prolac-tion and other metabolic and biological indicators were all detected. RSESE,BARS and UKU were adopted to evaluate ADR. RE-SULTS:A total of 100 patients completed the study. Compared with aripiprazole group and ziprasidone group,risperidone and olan-zapine inhibited symptom more rapidly,with statistical significance (P<0.05). After treatment,body mass index and abdominal circumference of olanzapine group were significantly higher than those of other 3 groups,with statistical significance (P<0.05). Low density lipoprotein of olanzapine group was increased significantly,there was statistical significance compared to ziprasidone group and aripiprazole group(P<0.05). Prolactin level of risperidone group was significantly higher than those of other 3 groups, while that of aripiprazole group was significantly lower than those of other 3 groups,with statistical significance(P<0.05). ADRs of 4 drugs were mild or moderate,most of whom could be alleviated by symptomatic treatment. CONCLUSIONS:In the treatment of acute phase schizophrenia,4 drugs of the second-generation have similar curative effect in symptoms control,among which ris-peridone and olanzapine inhibit positive symptom more rapidly while more ADRs that related to lipid and glucose metabolism and prolactin also show. Aripiprazole and ziprasidone induce less ADRs relatively,and patients show better tolerability. Physicians should consider all kinds of factors in drugs selection,and make individualized treatment plan.

Objective To analyze and compare the differences in application of 24-hour dietary recall and dietary balance index (DBI) in dietary survey and evaluation of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus,meanwhile investigate their nutrition status.Method This was a cross-sectional study.A total of 100 type 2 diabetes inpatients at the age of 19-59 were recruited from Shanghai Jiaotong University Affiliated Sixth People's Hospital from December 2013 to February 2014.They were surveyed and evaluated by 24-hour dietary recall and DBI respectively.Result The micronutrient intake in patients with type 2 diabetes was not sufficient.Compared with RNI,the intake of vitamin B1,B2,and calcium was less than 50％.The average of DBI lower bound score (DBI-LBS) of the 100 patients was 32.1±6.1,65％; the patients were in moderate or severe deficit of food intake.DBI higher bound score (DBI-HBS) was 4.4±2.8.No significant excess intake problem was found.Dietary quality distance was 36.4±6.9.Eighty-seven percent of them had a dietary patterns of mode B.Conclusion Dietary patterns in type 2 diabetes patients were not reasonable.Nutrition education and nutrition intervention for type 2 diabetes should be emphasized.The two methods can be used to evaluate dietary quality independently,but it would be better to evaluate the quality of the patients' diet using two dietary survey methods together.

Objective To investigate the effects of β1-adrenergic receptor autoantibodies (β1-AA) on the proliferation of different subtypes of T lymphocytes in patients with heart failure .Methods β1-AA-positive IgG antibodies isolated from patients with heart failure were purified by using affinity chromatog -raphy.CD3 +CD4 +T and CD3 +CD8 +T lymphocytes were sorted by flow cytometry analysis .The prolifera-tion of different subtypes of T lymphocytes was tested by using CCK-8 kit.Tests for lactate dehydrogenase ( LDH) level and cell apoptosis were performed to evaluate T lymphocytes damage .Results The prolifera-tion of activated lymphocytes was inhibited by β1-AA isolated from the serum of patients with heart failure in a concentration dependent manner , but it could be blocked by β1 receptor blocker .The damage of lympho-cytes induced by β1-AA was increased.Moreover, β1-AA promoted the necrosis and apoptosis of CD 3 +CD4 +T and CD3 +CD8 +T lymphocytes and thus inhibited the proliferation of them .Conclusion β1-AA isolated from the serum of patients with heart failure inhibited the proliferation of CD 3 +CD4 +T and CD3 +CD8 +T lymphocytes through increasing the necrosis and apoptosis of them .This study suggests that β1-AA might induce immune disorders in addition to causing pathological changes in heart tissues .

Objective: To analyze the expression and clinical significance of solute carrier family 5 member 5 (SLC5A5), the coding gene of sodium/iodide symporter (NIS), in thyroid carcinoma. Methods: The messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of SLC5A5 in thyroid carcinoma and normal thyroid tissues from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) was compared using independent-sample t test and results were shown in one scatter plot. The relation between clinical features of thyroid carcinoma and the changes of SLC5A5 mRNA was analyzed on LinkedOmics using Kruskal-Wallis test or Wilcoxon test. Results: Data from TCGA showed that the SLC5A5 mRNA expression in thyroid carcinoma (1.419±0.049) was significantly reduced compared with that in normal thyroid tissues (3.301±0.087; t=12.66, P<0.01). The expression of SLC5A5 mRNA in thyroid carcinoma is affected by ethnicity (χ²=0.300, P<0.05). Moreover, the expression of SLC5A5 mRNA were decreased with the increase of pathologic grading (Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ) and T, N, M stages (χ² values: 0.114, 0.215, z values: -0.345, -0.102, all P<0.05). Conclusions The expression level of SLC5A5 mRNA is associated with clinical characteristic of thyroid carcinoma. SLC5A5 mRNA has the potential to become one candidate biomarker to assess disease and predict the development of thyroid carcinoma.

Finally, 4 881 postmenopausal women were selected.Complex weighted computation was used to estimate the ages at natural menopause.One-way ANOVA was used to compare the ages at natural menopause of the women with different birth years. Multiple linear regression analysis were used to examine the influencing factors of the ages at natural menopause. Results The mean and median ages at natural menopause were (49.11±4.19)years and 50.00 years,respectively.There were 4 881 cases of postmenopausal women,among them the women with age at natural menopause<40 years,40 year≤age at natural menopause≤45 years,46 years≤ age at natural menopause≤53 years,age at natural menopause≥54 years and age at natural menopause missing accounted for 2.27%(111 cases),13.17%(643 cases),71.97%(3 513 cases),11.74% (573 cases),and 0.85%(41 cases),respectively.Converted to birth years by age,70-79 years old was 1933-1942 birth years,60-69 years old was 1943-1952 birth years and 57-59 years old was 1953-1955 birth years.The age at natural menopause in Jilin province was statistically significant among the women with different birth years(F=21.178,P<0.001).By SNK-q test among three different birth year groups, the age at natural menopause was different between any two groups among three different birth year groups and the ages at natural menopause of 1953-1955 birth year group,1943-1952 birth year group and 1943-1952 birth year group were 50.38 years,49.51 years and 48.81 years.The age at natural menopause in urban of Jilin province was statistically significant among the women with different birth years(F=16.633,P<0.001).By SNK-q test among three different birth year groups,the age at natural menopause was different between any two groups among three different birth year groups and the ages at natural menopause of 1953-1955 birth year group,1943-1952 birth year group and 1943-1952 birth year group were 50.77 years,49.73 years,and 48.85 years,respectively.The age at natural menopause in rural of Jilin province was statistically significant among the women with different birth years(F=7.400,P=0.001 ). By SNK-q test among three different birth year groups, the age at natural menopause was different between 1953-1955 birth year group and the other two groups and the ages at natural menopause of 1953-1955 birth year group,1943-1952 birth year group and 1943-1952 birth year group were 50.09 years,49.33 years,and 48.74 years,respectively.The multiple linear regression results indicated that BMI and exercise were positively correlated with the age at natural menopause,but smoking and mental health evaluation were negatively.Consumption frequency of vegetables,fruits,bean products,and meat was no correlated with the age at natural menopause.Conclusion The differences of the ages at natural menopause between the women with different birth years are statistically significant in Jilin Province;BMI, smoking, exercise,and mental health are the influencing factors of the age at natural menopause.

Objective To investigate the effect of enriched environment (EE) on behavior and expression of mitogenactivated protein kinase phosphatase-1 (MKP-1) in hippocampus of depression rats induced by chronic unpredicted mild stress (CUS) and to provide clues for the molecular mechanism of treating depression.Methods Forty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control group,CUS group,fluoxetine group and EE group,with 10 rats in each group.The rats in CUS group,fluoxetine group and EE group were given 8 weeks of CUS,and from the fifth week,the rats in EE group and fluoxetine group were given EE and fluoxetine for 4 weeks,respectively.The changes of behavioristic of the rats in the four groups were evaluated by body mass gain,open field test,and sucrose preference.The expression of MKP-1 in hippocampus was detected by Western blot.Results There was no significant difference in body mass,distance of horizontal movement,the number of upright,the times of passing through the grid and sucrose preference index among the four groups(P ＞ 0.05).After modeling,compared with the control group,the body mass gain,distance of horizontal movement,the number of up-right,the times of passing through the grid and sucrose preference index in the CUS group,fluoxetine group and EE group were decreased significantly(P ＜ 0.05);there was no significant difference in the body mass gain,distance of horizontal movement,the number of up-right,the times of passing through the grid and sucrose preference index among the CUS group,fluoxetine group and EE group(P ＞ 0.05).After intervening by fluoxetine and EE,the body mass gain,distance of horizontal movement,the number of up-right,the times of passing through the grid and sucrose preference index in the CUS group were lower than those in the control group(P ＜0.05);but there was no significant difference in the body mass gain,distance of horizontal movement,the number of up-right,the times of passing through the grid and sucrose preference index between the control group and the fluoxetine group and EE group(P ＞ 0.05).Compared with the CUS group,the body mass gain,distance of horizontal movement,the number of up-right,the times of passing through the grid and sucrose preference index in the fluoxetine group and EE group were higher(P ＜ 0.05);there was no significant difference in the body mass gain,distance of horizontal movement,the number of up-right,the times of passing through the grid and sucrose preference index between the fluoxetine group and EE group (P ＞ 0.05).The expression of MKP-1 in hippocampus of CUS group and EE group was higher than that in the control group (P ＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the expression of MKP-1 in hippocampus between the fluoxetine group and control group(P ＞ 0.05).Compared with the CUS group,the expression of MKP-1 in hippocampus in the fluoxetine group decreased (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the expression of MKP-1 in hippocampus between the EE group and CUS group(P ＞0.05).Compared with the fluoxetine group,the expression of MKP-1 in hippocampus in the EE group was higher(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion EE can significantly improve depressive symptoms in rats,but it has no significant effect on MKP-1 protein expression in hippocampus,and EE may not act on depression by affecting MKP-1.

Objective: To analyze the image features of shear wave elastrography (SWE) in breast masses, and to evaluate their values in the differentiation of benign and malignant breast lesions. Methods: A total of 361 patients with 403 breast lesions who simultaneously underwent conventional ultrasound and SWE examination from February 2015 to January 2018 were selected. Diagnosis in all patients was confirmed by aspiration biopsy or operative pathology. The SWE images were collected and the elastic images were divided into 5 types. The SWE image features of different breast pathological types were summarized, and their values in benign and malignant breast lesion diagnoses were evaluated. Results: The main features of benign breast lesion were type Ⅰ and Ⅱ, the main features of the malignant lesion were type Ⅳ and Ⅴ, and the proportion of which were 43.6% (71/163), 37.4% (61/163), 22.1% (53/240) and 57.9% (139/240), respectively. Type Ⅲ accounted for a certain proportion in both benign and malignant lesions. The SWE image features of benign and malignant lesions were compared and a significant difference was observed (P<0.001). The type Ⅴ features were mainly observed in invasive ductal carcinoma, invasive lobular carcinoma and other types of invasive carcinoma, while the type Ⅳ features were mostly presented in ductal carcinoma in situ and mucinous carcinoma. Fibroadenoma, fibroadenosis accompanied with fibroadenoma, and fibroadenosis were featured with type Ⅰ. Both intraductal papilloma and benign phyllodes tumor were mostly type Ⅱ, while type Ⅲ and Ⅴ were more common in chronic granulomatous mastitis. When type Ⅰ and typeⅡof breast lesions were classified as benign features while type Ⅳ and Ⅴ were malignant features, the sensitivity and specificity of breast malignant lesion diagnosis were 91.2% and 84.7% by application of SWE combined with breast imaging reporting and data system (BI-RADS). The sensitivity of combined diagnosis was slightly lower than that of conventional ultrasound (P>0.05), but the specificity was significantly higher than conventional ultrasound (P<0.01). Conclusion The SWE is a simple and effective method. Combination of SWE with conventional ultrasound may improve the diagnostic differentiation of benign and malignant breast lesions.

Objective:To evaluate the value of serum pepsinogen Ⅰ and Ⅱ combined with gastrin-17 in screening precancerous lesions of gastric cancer in physical examination population.Methods:Serum pepsinogen, gastrin-17 and Helicobacter pylori (Hp) antibody were detected in 18 354 physical examination people from July to December 2017 in Wenrong Hospital, Hengdian, Dongyang. The patients were divided into youth group (18 to 39 years old), middle-aged group (40 to 59 years old) and elderly group (≥60 years old) according to their ages. The correlation between the serological level of the above indexes and age was analyzed; according to the new ABC method, the test results were divided into groups A, B, C and D. The patients in group C and D were examined by gastroscopy. The differences of gastric mucosal atrophy or intestinal metaplasia and other precancerous lesions detected by gastroscopy in different age groups were compared.Results:Finally, 18 354 cases were enrolled, including 9 614 males and 8 740 females. With the increase of age, the proportion of group C and D increased gradually. In group C, 181 cases underwent gastroscopy, including 39 cases of atrophic gastritis, 29 cases of intestinal metaplasia and 3 cases of dysplasia/intraepithelial neoplasia, the detection rate of precancerous lesions was 39.23%; in group D, 94 cases underwent gastroscopy, including 22 cases of atrophic gastritis and 13 cases of intestinal metaplasia, the detection rate of precancerous lesions was 37.23%. The proportion of gastric precancerous lesions in group C and D was 29.63% in the young group, 69.70% in the middle-aged group and 71.58% in the old group, respectively. There was significant difference compared with the young group ( P<0.01); atypical hyperplasia occurred in 2.02% and 9.47% of the middle-aged group and the elderly group. Conclusions:The combined detection of serum pepsinogen Ⅰ and Ⅱ and gastrin-17 levels is of great value in the screening of precancerous lesions of gastric cancer; when this method used for early gastric cancer screening in healthy population, it is necessary to consider the influence of age for the risk stratification of gastric cancer.
