Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic and progressive inflammation of liver caused by the disorder of immunoregulation,and characterized by the presence of autoantibodies,elevated level of immunoglobulin G,and interface hepatitis histologically.As its clinical feature is not particular and the international diagnosis criteria is rarely applied in children,the diagnosis of pediatric AIH is difficult to make.It's essential for the good prognosis to recognize and diagnose the disease in early stage,as well as to treat it promptly and maintain regular follow-up.Now,the recent progress of pathogenesis,diagnostic criteria and management of AIH in children were summarized.

Sorting nexins (SNXs) are a large group of proteins that contain Phox (PX) domain and involve in regulating endocytosis and endosome sorting. SNX7, a member of SNXs family, contains a PX domain and a BAR domain. In zebrafish, SNX7 is a liver-enriched anti-apoptotic protein and indispensible for the liver development. A fragment of SNX7 cDNA ((px-bar)snx7), encoding the PX domain and the BAR domain, was inserted into the expressing vector p28a, transformed into E. coli Rosseta 2 (DE3), and then induced by isopropyl β-D-1-Thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). After affinity, ion exchange and gel filtration purification, the purity of (PX-BAR)SNX7 reached over 95%. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) experiment indicated that (PX-BAR)SNX7 was homogeneous in solution. Lipid overlay assay showed that (PX-BAR)SNX7 can bind to PtdIns(5)P, PtdIns(4,5)P2 and PtdIns(3,4,5)P3.

Object Bibliometrically analyzed are the medical papers of Huai'an First People's Hospital from 2002 to 2011 on CBMdisc.Methods Our own program and excel 2007 are used to statistically analyze the annual change,distribution of periodicals,authors,department,fund papers as well as citations of medical papers published by staff of Huai'an First Hospital in 10 years.Results 1935 Chinese papers were published from 2002 to 2011.However,Huai'an First Hospital began to publish SCI papers since 2009,a total of 24,accounting for only 1.23％ of the total number of papers in English.According to Price's law,there are 136 core authors who published nearly half of Chinese papers(955).The two bright academic leaders Li Yufeng and Yu Liang in Hematology swept a quarter of SCI papers.All the 136 core authors and two academic leaders are well deserved scientific research backbones of our hospital.Chinese papers' total cited rate is 47.29 ％,cited frequency 2.99 times.SCI papers' cited rate is 75％,cited frequency 2.83 times.Conclusions The amount of papers,amount of papers published on core journals and SCI papers volume increased year by year.But there is a great disparity of proportion between the amount of papers published on domestic journals and SCI papers volume.It is necessary to improve papers quality.

To study the level of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in serum and the expression of MIF mRNA in abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue,and to investigate its impact on insulin resistance and islet β-cell dysfunction in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).120 pregnancy women from the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University Medical College and Taian Central Hospital were enrolled,including 60 GDM women and 60 women with normal glucose tolerance (NGT).The serum MIF in GDM group was higher than that of NGT group [(3.58±1.02 vs 1.23±0.62) ng/ml,P<0.01].Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that body mass index was an independent affective factor of the serum levels of MIF (r2 =0.516).The serum levels of MIF and the expressions of MIF mRNA in abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue were significantly higher in GDM group than NGT group.MIF may contribute to insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction in GDM.Body mass index seems to be an independent factor in affecting the serum levels of MIF.

The osmotic pressure of ammonium sulfate solutions has been measured by the well-established freezing point osmometry in dilute solutions and we recently reported air humidity osmometry in a much wider range of concentration. Air humidity osmometry cross-validated the theoretical calculations of osmotic pressure based on the Pitzer model at high concentrations by two one-sided test (TOST) of equivalence with multiple testing corrections, where no other experimental method could serve as a reference for comparison. Although more strict equivalence criteria were established between the measurements of freezing point osmometry and the calculations based on the Pitzer model at low concentration, air humidity osmometry is the only currently available osmometry applicable to high concentration, serves as an economic addition to standard osmometry.

Objective To generate the erythroid differentiation associated gene(EDAG) knockout mice and analyze their sensitivity to low dose radiation-induced damage.Methods Zinc finger nuclease technology ( ZFNs ) was used to produce the EDAG knockout mice.The low dose radiation-induced damage was evaluated by peripheral blood cell counts, DNA damage and colony formation of bone marrow cells.Wild-type and EDAG knockout mice were irradiated with 0.31 Gy/min X-ray, one minute per day for seven consecutive days, and the cumulative radiation dose was 2.17 Gy(n=7).The blood cell counts were measured by an automated hemocytometer.DNA damage was detected by immunofluorescence assay with a DNA damage marker p-H2A.x antibody (n=3).The colony formation ability of bone marrow cells was evaluated with a semi-solid culture medium(n=3).Results A model of EDAG knockout mice was established.Compared to wide type mice, white blood cell counts of EDAG knockout mice decreased significantly while the DNA damage marker p-H2A.x expression was increased on the third day after X-ray irradiation.The ability of colony-forming was reduced after 7 days of X-ray irradiation.Conclusion Our present study found that EDAG knockout mice are more sensitive to low dose radiation-induced damage as shown by decreased peripheral blood cells counts, reduced colony-forming ability of bone marrow cells, and increased DNA damage.These results suggest that EDAG knockout mice can serve as a powerful tool for evaluation of the biological effects of low-dose radiation damage.

Objective: To understand the current status of health related quality of life among primary and middle school students aged 9 to 15 years old in Henan Province, and to explore its relationship with negative emotions and social support. Methods: Between January and June 2016, 24 primary and middle schools were selected from 6 cities of Henan Province, and 5 867 primary and middle school students were included and completed the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory Measurement, Stress Anxiety Depression Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale. Hierarchical linear regression analysis was used to examine the moderating effect of social support. Results: The total score of health related quality of life of primary and middle school students in Henan was (81.21±12.49). There were statistically significant differences in the quality of life among primary and middle school students with different gender, study period, family monthly income, subjective parental relationship and parental education ( P <0.05). Negative emotions were negatively correlated with quality of life ( r =-0.51, P <0.01) and social support ( r =-0.30, P <0.01), while social support was positively correlated with quality of life ( r =0.29, P <0.01). Regression analysis showed that negative emotional was negatively associated with quality of life ( β =-0.23, P <0.01), while social support was positively associated with quality of life ( β =0.16, P <0.01). The interaction of negative emotions and social support was negatively associated with quality of life ( β =-0.18, P <0.01). Conclusion Health related quality of life among 9-15 year old primary and middle school students in Henan province is satisfactory. Social support might buffer the negative impact of negative emotions including depression, anxiety and stress on quality of life of primary and secondary school students.

Objective: To investigate anxiety life interference among primary and middle school students in Henan Province and its influencing factors, and to provide scientific basis for health education in primary and secondary school students. Methods: By using cluster sampling method, 3 573 primary school students and 2 748 secondary school students in Henan Province were investigated with Child Anxiety Life Interference Scale(CALIS), Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescents(RSCA), Perceived Social Support Scale(PSSS), Self-Esteem Scale(SES), General Self-efficacy Scale(GSES). Results: There were significant differences in anxiety life disturbance in primary and middle school students by gender(t=2.07, P=0.04), school level(t=-2.29, P=0.02), degree of anxiety(F=119.93, P<0.01), educational level of fathers (F=13.38, P<0.01) and educational level of mothers(F=9.65, P<0.01). The degree of life disturbance caused by anxiety was negatively correlated with mental resilience, social support and self-efficacy(r=-0.25, -0.09, -0.12, P<0.01), and was positively related to self-esteem(r=0.23). Mental resilience (β=-0.21) significantly negatively predicted anxiety interference with life, while self-esteem (β=0.13) and social support (β=0.06) significantly positively predicted anxiety interference with life. Conclusion The life of primary and middle school students is seriously disturbed by anxiety, and mental resilience is the primary psychosocial factor that affects the level of anxiety life interference among primary and middle school students.

Objective:To explore the correlation between the semiquantitative score of bone ultrasound and the WOMAC OA index in knee osteoarthritis.Methods:From March 2017 to December 2018, 118 patients with knee osteoarthritis diagnosed and treated in Taizhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were selected in the research.The patients' bone erosion, joint effusion, synovium hyperplasia and meniscus were evaluated by ultrasound semiquantitative scoring system.Osteoarthritis index of the patients was investigated at the same time.The correlation between the semiquantitative score of myoskeletal ultrasound and WOMAC OA index in knee osteoarthritis was analyzed.Results:In 118 patients with knee osteoarthritis, the semiquantitative scores of myoskeletal ultrasound of bone erosion was (2.33±0.37)points, joint effusion was (2.05±0.26)points, synovial hyperplasia was (2.24±0.15)points, abnormal meniscus position was (1.67±0.28)points, meniscus shape and signal was (1.15±0.14)points.The WOMAC OA index scores of patients' pain was (29.52±6.68)points, stiffness was (11.43±3.78)points, dysfunction was (93.85±18.73)points, and total score was (134.80±29.19)points.The scores of bone erosion, joint effusion, synovium hyperplasia and meniscus in semiquantitative score of muscle and bone ultrasound were positively correlated with the total score of WOMAC OA index( r=0.435, 0.317, 0.429, 0.294, 0.282, all P<0.05). Conclusion:Semiquantitative score of muscle and bone ultrasound can better reflect the degree of knee joint injury, which is positively correlated with WOMAC OA index.We can use the semiquantitative score of muscle and bone ultrasound and WOMAC OA index to predict the condition of patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Objective:To explore the relationship between the dark triad, basic psychological needs satisfaction and guilty proneness.Methods:Totally 595 college students were randomly selected from Zhengzhou University.They were tested with the dirty dozen(DD), the balanced measure of psychological needs scale(BMPN) and guilt-proneness-5(GP-5). SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 21.0 were used for data analysis, including descriptive analysis, correlation analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Bootstrap measure was used for mediating effect test.Results:(1)The correlation analysis showed that the dark triad (29(21, 37)), Machiavellianism (4(4, 8)) and psychopathy(5(4, 9)) were negatively correlated with guilty proneness (20(16, 23)), and the correlation coefficients were -0.10, -0.22 and -0.18 respectively(all P<0.01). While narcissism (16(12, 21)) was not correlated with guilty proneness ( r=0.04, P>0.01). The satisfaction of basic psychological needs (56(54, 60)) was positively correlated with guilty proneness ( r=0.31, P<0.01). (2)The relationship between the dark triad and guilty proneness was partially mediated by basic psychological needs satisfaction, and the mediating effect accounted for 62.96%. Conclusion:The dark triad influences guilty proneness through basic psychological needs satisfaction.
