Objective To study the relationship between QT interval and the compements of antipsychotic-induced metabolic syndrome in schizophrenic patients. Methods Totally 460 schizophrenic patients(240 men and 220 women)aged 19～60 from the study cohort of the schizophrenic patients in treatment with antipsychotant were recruited in the study for epidemiologic examinations,involving anthropometry and measurements of blood pressure,fasting ang 2hr plasma levels of glucose and insulin and serum levels of lipid.A standard 12-lead ECG was recorded and the corrected QT (QTc)was calculated accordingly by Bazett formula.HOMA-IR index was calculated for estimating individual insulin resistance.Metabolic syndrome(MS)was diagnosed according to the definition issued by the International Diabetes Federation(IDF)in 2005.Results The prolonged QT interval was found in 124 of the 460 cases(27.0%),and the rates of prolonged QT interval being 21.7% and 32.7% in men and women respectively (χ2=7.13,P<0.01).The prevalences of MS,IR,central obesity,IFG,higher serum level of triglyceride(TG)and lower serum level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) were 39.3%,38.7%,35.4%,34.1%,31.3%,29.8% and 27.0% in schizophrenic patients population respectively.The prolonged QT interval was significantly associated with MS,IR,IFG,higher serum level of triglyceride(TG)and central obesity respectively(χ2=4.95～13.63,P<0.05).Conclusion The prolonged QT interval was significantly correlated with antipsychotic-induced metabolic syndrome(MS) and components of abnormal metabolism.

Objective To investigate the correlation between family environment,cognitive disposition,self-esteem and adolescent social phobia.Methods 110 adolescents with social phobia and 142 healthy control subjects were selected.They were surveyed by Family Environment Scale of Chinese version (FES-CV),cognitive appraisal orientation test (CAOT),and Self-Esteem Scale (SES).Moreover,the adolescents with social phobia were administered with Social Avoidance and Distress Scale (SAD).Results When compared with the controls,the score of adolescent social phobia group showed significantly lower score in total and optimistic factor of CAOT,cohesion,expressiveness,achievement,activerecreational orientation,organization and self-esteem; but higher in conflict factor.The analysis of the results showed that SAD was significantly and negatively correlated with the score of total and optimistic factor of CAOT,cohesion,expressiveness and SES,while was significantly and positively correlated with the score of conflict factor.The seriousness of the condition was significantly negatively related to the score of optimistic factor,cohesion,expressiveness and SES,while the onset age was significantly positively related to them.The clinical course was significantly negatively related to the cohesion,expressiveness and self-esteem,while was significantly positively related to the score of conflict.Conclusions Negative cognitive disposition,lower cohesion,less expressiveness,higher conflict and lower self-esteem are the major factors that could affect the onset of adolescent social phobia.The more negative the cognitive disposition is,the lower the cohesion,the expressiveness and the self-esteem are,the earlier the onset age and the more serious the illness is.The longer clinical course is in ration to lower cohesion,less expressiveness,higher conflict and lower self-esteem.

Objective: To observe the inlfuence of simvastatin combining ezetimibe on blood levels of glucose and lipids in patients of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT).
Methods: A total of 316 patients with ACS and IGT were randomly divided into 2 groups: Treatment group, the patients received simvastatin 20 mg/day with ezetimibe 10 mg/day,n=160 and Control group, the patients received simvastatin 20 mg/day,n=156. All patients were treated for 24 months. Blood levels of total cholesterol (TC) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were observed at 6, 12 and 24 months of medication; fasting blood glucose (FBG), 2 hour postprandial blood glucose (2hPG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and the number of patients with new onset diabetes were examined at 6 days and 12, 24 months of medication.
Results:①In Treatment group, at 6 months of medication, blood levels of TC (mmol/L) and LDL-C (mmol/L) were (3.5 ± 0.5) and (2.1 ± 0.4) which were both lower than baseline levels (5.2±1.2) and (3.5±0.5),P<0.05; at 12 and 24 months, TC and LDL-C were (3.1 ± 1.0), (1.8 ± 0.6) and (3.0 ± 0.6), (1.8 ± 0.5), TC and LDL-C were consistently decreased, all P<0.05. In Control group, at 6 months of medication, TC and LDL-C were (4.0 ± 0.5) and (2.4 ± 0.5) which were both lower than baseline levels (5.3 ± 0.8) and (3.1 ± 0.4),P<0.05; at 12 and 24 months, TC and LDL-C were (3.8 ± 0.6), (2.3 ± 0.6) and (3.7 ± 0.5), (2.1 ± 0.7), allP<0.05. TC and LDL-C levels in Treatment group were lower than Control group at 6, 12 and 24 months of medication, allP<0.05.②In Treatment group, FBG (mmol/L) levels at 12 and 24 months were similar to 6 days,P>0.05; HbA1c at 12 and 24 months were similar to baseline,P>0.05; 2hPG (mmol/L) level at 24 months was higher than 6 days (9.5 ± 1.1) vs (8.7 ± 1.0),P<0.05; there were 26 patients with new onset diabetes at 24 months after medication. In Control group, 2hPG level at 24 months was higher than 6 days (9.6 ± 0.8) vs (8.7±0.7); there were 25 patients with new onset diabetes at 24 months after medication. The levels of FBG, 2hPG, HbA1c and the number of patients with new onset diabetes were similar between 2 groups, allP>0.05.
Conclusion: Ezetimibe combining simvastatin may better reduce blood lipids, while it had no real effect on blood glucose metabolism in patients with ACS and IGT.

ObjectiveTo analyze the relationship between expressions of Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) and B7-H1 with clinico-pathological features and their prognostic significance in pancreatic cancer (PC).Method95 patients who underwent radical pancreaticoduodenectomy for PC were studied.The IDO and B7-H1 expressions in tissue specimens were determined by immunohistochemistry.ResultsIDO and B7-H1 expressions were higher in pancreatic carcinoma tissues than in normal pancreatic tissues (P＜0.05).IDO and B7-H1 expressions positively and significantly correlated with pathological grades and tumour-node-metastasis (TNM) stages (P＜0.05).They were prognostic of poor cancer-specific survival.After adjusting by the Cox proportional hazards regression models (P＜0.05),only a combined IDO/B7-H1 expression served as an independent prognostic marker.ConclusionsIDO and B7-H1 were expressed in PC,and they were important markers for malignant progression of PC.A combined IDO/B7-H1 expression served as an independent prognostic marker for PC.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ultrafiltration in patients with heart failure. Methods: One hundred and thirty four cases of patients with heart failure, who hospitalized in our hospital from June 2010 to June 2016 were enrolled in this study. Random serial number was generated using SPSS 22.0 software, patients were then randomly divided into control group and ultrafiltration group with the proportion of 1∶1 (67 cases in each group). Patients in the control group received standard therapy. Patients in the ultrafiltration group received ultrafiltration therapy for 8 hours. Curative effect was evaluated after 8 hours treatment in the control group and after 12 hours in the ultrafiltration group. Following parameters were compared between the two groups: body weight, dyspnea score and 6 minutes walking distance as well as blood pressure, heart rate, Na⁺ , K⁺ , Cl^-, pH, HCO₃^-, Hb, PLT, Cr, BUN levels. Results: (1)Two patients died during run-in process and eventually 132 cases were chosen for final analysis (65 cases in control group and 67 cases in the ultrafiltration group). Gender, age, type of heart failure, dyspnea score, body weight at baseline were similar between the two groups. (2)Post therapy, patients′ body weight decreased obviously, while dyspnea score and 6 minutes walking distance increased significantly in the ultrafiltration group compared to baseline(all P<0.05), and the improvement was significantly greater compared to control group(all P<0.05). (3)The safety index comparison of two groups: blood pressure, heart rate, Na⁺ , K⁺ , Cl^-, pH, HCO₃^-, Hb, PLT, Cr, and BUN were similar between the two groups at baseline and post therapy. Conclusion Ultrafiltration therapy is safe and effective to treat patients with heart failure.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of the ischemic stroke predictive risk score (iScore) and serum homocysteine (Hcy) for early neurological deterioration (END) in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods:Patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from July 2018 to June 2020 were enrolled retrospectively. END was defined as the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score within 7 d after admission increased by ≥2 from the baseline. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent correlations of iScore and serum Hcy level with END, and then the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the individual and combined predictive values of iScore and serum Hcy for END. Results:A total of 398 patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled, including 241 (60.6%) males, aged 65.02±12.17 years. The baseline NIHSS score was 12.15±5.67 and iScore was 124.58±37.51, and 103 patients (25.9%) developed END. Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in atrial fibrillation, fasting blood glucose, serum Hcy, stroke etiology type (large artery atherosclerosis and small artery occlusion), baseline NIHSS score and iScore between the END group and the non-END group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age, atrial fibrillation, fasting blood glucose, and stroke etiology type, the iScore (odds ratio [ OR] 1.016, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.009-1.040; P=0.004), serum Hcy ( OR 1.191, 95% CI 1.075-1.588; P<0.001) and baseline NIHSS score ( OR 1.289, 95% CI 1.101-1.613; P=0.023) had significant independent correlation with END. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of iScore combined with serum Hcy for predicting END was 0.859 (95% CI 0.820-0.898; P<0.001), which was significantly higher than that of iScore or serum Hcy alone ( P<0.001). The sensitivity and specificity of combined prediction were 81.55% and 85.76%, respectively. Conclusion:The iScore combined with serum Hcy has higher predictive value for END in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common and potentially threatening disease of the pancreas, and some patients eventually develop to severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Symptomatic support therapies such as rehydration therapy and anti-infection are still the main treatments. Lacking specific therapies is the main reason for the high mortality of AP patients, especially those with SAP. Premature trypsinogen activation is the most important pathologic cellular event in the pathogenesis of AP. The release of trypsin can cause self-digestion inside and outside of acinar cells, especially the release of cathepsin B can also cause a caspase-unrelated regulatory cell death (RCD) known as necroptosis, which is closely related to the development and prognosis of AP. Therefore, it is necessary to further study the mechanism of necroptosis in the occurrence and development of AP. This article reviews the mechanism of necroptosis and the research progress related to AP, in an attempt to provide a new understanding of the pathogenesis and treatment of AP, and promote the better target drug development.

Objective:To study the population distribution of Pomacea spp. in Shandong Province and the risk of angiostrongyliasis cantonensis in the local population, and to provide a basis for scientific prevention and control of related diseases. Methods:From July to December 2021, Yanzhou District of Jining City, Ningyang County of Taian City, and Dongying District of Dongying City were selected as surveillance sites to investigate the population and distribution range of Pomacea spp., live snail samples were collected for morphological and genetic identification, and Pomacea spp. infected with the larva of Angiostrongylus cantonensis was detected by lung test. At the same time, sentinel hospital case surveillance was carried out in Yanzhou District, Jining City, and questionnaire was used to study the local residents' awareness of angiostrongyliasis cantonensis and their personal health behaviors. Results:A total of 312 live snail samples were collected. After morphological identification, they were all Pomacea spp.. After gene sequencing, two populations of Pomacea canaliculata and Pomacea maculata were found. No positive snails infected with Angiostrongylus cantonensis were found. A total of 126 patients with headache as the main neurological symptom were admitted to the sentinel hospital, but there were no monitoring cases that met the inclusion criteria. Among the survey population, 48.38% (134/277) of the respondents had heard of angiostrongyliasis cantonensis, 44.77% (124/277) knew that eating Margarya melanioides might cause angiostrongyliasis cantonensis, and 83.39% (231/277) had no related unhealthy eating behavior. Conclusion:Pomacea spp. is found and reported for the first time in Shandong Province, and there is a risk of population infection with angiostrongyliasis cantonensis.

Objective To explore the temporal and spatial distribution characteristics of air pollutants PM_2.5, PM₁₀, SO₂, CO, and NO₂, and their effects on acute cerebrovascular diseases in Jining City. Methods The data of patients with acute cerebrovascular disease treated in a 3A hospital in Jining from October 1, 2017, to November 31, 2019, were retrospectively collected. Combined with the air pollution data of 29 air quality monitoring stations in Jining City, the Kriging interpolation model was used to analyze the overall situation of air pollution in Jining. On this basis, the relationship between air pollution and acute cerebrovascular diseases in Jining City was analyzed. Results In Jining City, the incidence of acute cerebrovascular disease in male was higher than that in female, and the incidence in rural areas was significantly higher than that in urban areas. The spatial distribution showed a trend of gradual accumulation from southeast to northwest. The daily average concentrations of PM2.5 and PM10 were higher in winter and spring than in summer and autumn. The results of Kriging interpolation analysis showed that the concentrations of these air pollutants formed aggregation points in varying degrees. The spatial distribution of acute cerebrovascular disease patients in Jining City was highly consistent with the spatial distribution of air pollutant concentrations. Spearman correlation analysis showed that CO, SO₂, and NO₂ were positively correlated with the incidence of acute cerebrovascular disease, while the correlation between PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ and the incidence of acute cerebrovascular disease was not significant. Conclusion Some air pollutants such as CO, SO₂, and NO₂ have a positive correlation with the incidence of acute cerebrovascular disease, and the prevalence has a certain population and regional distribution. In the future work of cerebrovascular disease prevention, personal protection should be done according to local conditions and living environment of specific people.
