1.Excretion and clinical value of fecal calprotectin in preterm infants during the first two weeks of life
International Journal of Pediatrics 2014;41(2):198-201
Objective To determine the time course of fecal calprotectin (FC) excretion in preterm infants in the first two weeks of life and to identify influencing factors of FC levels.To explore whether FC may be an useful marker for the identification of gastrointestinal conditions in preterm infants.Methods FC concentration was measured using ELISA in 141 samples (50-100 mg)obtained from 47 preterm infants(gestational age less than 32 weeks or birth weight less than 1 200 grams)at birth,on day 7 and on day 14(The following was called FC1,FC2 and FC3 level for short).Results FC3 level was significantly higher than FC1 and FC2 levels (P <0.05),there were no significant differences between FC1 and FC2 levels in the 47 preterm infants(P > 0.05).The FC1 level in infants whose mothers had antenatal infection was significantly higher(P < 0.05).The FC2 level was negatively correlated with the antibiotic courses(r =-0.325,P < 0.05).The FC2 level in infants with feeding intolerance was significantly lower than that in infants with feeding tolerance(P < 0.05).The FC2 level in infants with feeding tolerance and the FC3 level in infants with feeding intolerance were positively correlated with the volume of enteral feeds,respectively (r =0.433,0.479,P < 0.05).Contusion Antenatal infection and postnatal enteral feeds may lead to an increase in the excretion of FC in preterm infants.FC level was associated with enteral feeding and may be a useful marker for evaluation of gastrointestinal function in preterm infants.
2.Drug targets discovery based on dynamic signal transduction networks
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica 2010;0(01):-
Since last century, drug discovery efforts mostly focus on searching for chemicals which can inhibit some specific steps in a well-described disease pathway. However, this kind of highly specific inhibitors can not be effective for complex diseases, like cancer, diabetes, schizophrenia and mental illness. Therefore, we need to rethink the drug discovery and therapeutic strategies. In this review, the strategies of selection of cellular signal transduction networks and their dynamics as the targets for drug discovery and pharmacological treatments will be discussed. The properties and analytical methods of these signal transduction networks, internet sources and software tools for performing these strategies will be described. Strategies and procedures of using network- based drug discovery will be emphasized, including multi-targets drug design and network-based drug discovery.

Objective To investigate the incidence of adult epilepsy patients with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and the characteristics of ADHD subtypes, and to explore the correlations between several epilepsy-related factors and ADHD. Methods According to corresponding inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria, 82 adult epilepsy patients from March 2012 to March 2016 were enrolled as study group. Eighty-two healthy adults were enrolled as the control group. Using the Chi-square test and Logistic regression analysis and the other statistical methods, the phenomenon of ADHD in adults with epilepsy and the factors that may contribute to the phenomenon was analyzed. Results The detection rate of ADHD in 82 adult patients with epilepsy was 26.8%(22/82), significantly higher than that in the heathly control group which was 4.9%(4/82),χ2=18.672, P<0.05. Symptomatic epilepsy 8/17 and the electroencephalogram showed multifocal discharge 6/14 had higher detection rate of comorbid ADHD and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). The results of binary Logistic regression analysis showed that epilepsy age of onset was possibly an important factor for epilepsy with ADHD (B=-0.891, P<0.05). Conclusions The risk of ADHD in adults with epilepsy is higher than that in the healthy adults and attention-deficit is the common subtype. The etiology, age of onset and electroencephalogram features of adults with epilepsy may be associated with the occurrence of ADHD.

Nursing staff salary: junior titles accounted for (1 082 ±258) yuan,intermediate and senior titles advanced to (1 633±426) yuan and (2 864±587) yuan,the differences were significant, P<0.05. Editing: junior titles accounted for (18.84±3.27)%, intermediate title for (56.50±6.58)%, senior titles for (85.71±17.63)%, the differences were significant, P<0.05. Turnover rate:junior titles accounted for (25.36±7.54)%, intermediate title for (-6.50±2.14)%, senior titles for (-3.57±1.53)%, the differences were significant, P<0.05. Job satisfaction survey:junior titles accounted for (26.09±6.32)%, intermediate title for (37.85±5.16)%, senior titles for (57.14±8.49)%,the differences were significant, P<0.05. Conclusions Primary hospital nursing staff starting education level is generally not high, after re-education to achieve higher degree. Job satisfaction is not high, staffing, erosion is serious.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of double low scanning technique using the gem spectrum CT coronary artery angiography among the patients at low heart rate≤ 65 beats per minute.Methods This prospective study was approved by the institutional re-view board with patient informed consent.Ninty patients (heart rate≤65 beats per minute)were randomly devided into 3 groups.Group A un-derwent spectral CCTA with iodixanol (Visipaque,270mg/mL)and low scanning technique,Group B conventional CCTA with iohexol (Omnipaque,370 mg/mL)and Group C conventional CCTA with iodixanol (Visipaque,270 mg/mL),Routine scan mode was used in Group B and Group C.Prospective ECG gating mode was used in all groups.120kVp polychromatic images with FBP algorithm (Group B and Group C)were reconstructed for conventional CCTA,60 keV monochromatic images with FBP algorithm (Group A) or with a fixed blending level (40%)of ASiR (Group A1 )were reconstructed for spectral CCTA.Compared the image quality of four groups and ED in three groups.Results The difference was ststistically significant between four groups with the CT value,im-age noise,SNR and CNR of coronary (each P<0.001.Group A1 has the highest SNR and CNR.Group C has the lowest image noise.There were no significant difference of coronary score between group A1 and group B(χ2=0.01,P=1.000)).There was significant difference of coronary score between group A and group B (χ2=22.428,P<0.001),group B and group C (χ2=39.005,P<0.001), group A1 and group A (χ2=21.854,P<0.001).Effective radiation dose in the group A(ED2.60±0.26 mSv)was lower than that of group B (ED3.02±0.36 mSv)(t=3.738,P=0.001)and group C (ED3.11±0.23)(t=3.725,P=0.001).Conclusion Double low scan-ning technique using the gem spectrum CT coronary artery angiography with 40% blending level of ASiR is able to provide better im-age quality than using conventional CCTA and to reduce the effective radiation dose and contrast dose.
