1.Strategies of nutritional support for patients with hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis
Chinese Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2011;19(1):25-27
Objective To summarize the strategies of nutritional support for patients with hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis (HLAP). Methods The clinical data of six HLAP patients who were treated in our department from January 1998 to December 2009 were retrospectively reviewed. Results The disease conditions of all patients were improved after fasting and early nutritional support and lipid-lowering treatment. Three cases with severe HLAP received enteral nutrition via a nasojejunal tube. Another three patients with milder HLAP obtained low-fat diet and orally administered lipid-lowering drugs. The plasma triglyceride levels decreased from (25.30 ± 20. 48 ) mmol/L to (5.41 ±4.55) mmol/L. No relapse was noted during follow-up (range: 3 -24 months). Conclusions The approaches of nutritional support for HLAP patients should be customized based on the specific disease conditions,and the enteral nutrition and lipid-lowering drugs should be reasonably and carefully designed and applied. For severe HLAP, nasojejunal tube should be maintained in the early stage to ensure the application of enteral nutrition and lipid-lowering drugs, protect the integrity of gut mucosal barrier, and decrease the fluctuation of blood glucose.

Recent Advances in Ophthalmology 2017;37(5):496-500
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most serious and common blinding ocular complication in all microangiopathy of diabetes mellitus.The occurrence of DR associated with a variety of factom,the pathogenesis has not yet been completely clear,and there are several theories.In recent years,the relationship between the occurrence of DR and sex hormone levels become a hot ophthalmic research,research shows that the prevalence of DR significantly increased in postmenopausal women,in which estrogen change plays the main role.Learning connection between estrogen and DR will contribute to the clinical diagnosis and treatment of DR.This article reviews recent research advances in the relationship between estrogen and DR.

Objective To investigate the effects of thymosin ?1 on the proliferation of human umbilical veinssel endothelial cells(HUVECs) and synthesis of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF).Methods HUVECs(ECV-304) were cultured with the treatment of 100 ?l thymosin ?1 at 0,5 or 2.5 ?g/ml for 1 d in vitro.The proliferation of HUVECs were measured with MTT assay,cell cycle was tested with flow cytometry and the synthesis of VEGF was detected with Western blot analysis.Results Thymosinal promoted the proliferation of HUVECs,and the cells in S-phase was increased,and obviously promoted the synthesis of VEGF.Conclusion Thymosin ?1 promotes the proliferation of HUVECs and increases the synthesis of VEGF in HUVECs,and may have the effect of increasing the angiogenesis in the process of wound tissue.

Objective To study the related literature information of the core journal, Chinese Journal of Trauma, in 2003-2007 and evaluate its academic quality. Methods Analysis on literature information and quality evaluation were performed based on the A total of 1 708 related papers were selected from 60 issues of the journal from 2003 to 2007 to evaluate the quality of the journal in seven aspects. Re-suits (1) Average publication capacity index was 0.38 in five years. (2) The major sources of the au-thors were from medical universities or their affiliated hospitals and provincial or military medical units. (3) The major types of the papers were scientific researches, original articles and experience exchange (71.0%). (4) There were 326 grant-based projects, accounting for 35.9% of scientific researches and o-riginal articles. (5) There were average 10.2 quotations in each paper, including 72.2% of foreign docu-mentation, 27.8% Chinese documentation and 6.4% serf-citation. (6) Of all, 684 (75.3%) scientific researches and original articles applied statistical analysis. (7) Of all, 756 (87.4%) scientific researches and original articles were issued with English abstracts. Conclusion Chinese Journal of Trauma has the superiority in above seven aspects, which confirms its quality as a core journal.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of interstitial pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in patients with Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 198 RA patients with or without IPF. Characteristics of RA-IPF in clinical and lab data were analyzed. Age, duration of disease,clinical and laboratory parameters, history of smoking and medicine were compared between the patients with and without IPF. Results: (1) Among the 198 RA patients, 15.2% (30/198) were found with IPF. 100% RA-IPF patients had HRCT findings. However, 63.3% (19/30) had positive findings in chest X-ray, and only 46. 7% ( 14/30) had the complaints of cough and short breath. Velcro rales were found in 50.0% (15/30) patients with IPF and no acropachy occurred. Only one patient suffered from hypoxemia. IPF presented after the joint symptoms in most patients. (2 ) RA-IPF patients were older than those without IPF [(65.50±9.71) vs (55.22±12.98) years, P<0.01]; Higher positivity of anti-keratin antibodies ( AKA) were found in RA-IPF compared to patients without IPF (61. 5% vs 35.9% , P =0.014). Furthermore, the levels of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibody were significantly higher in RA-IPF [(4.38±2.08) vs (3.20±2. 12) , P =0.01]. No differentiation of duration of disease, history of smoking and medicine, IgM rheumatoid factor, IgG rheumatoid factor, anti-nuclear antibody, anti-SSA antibody and levels of immunoglobins and complements were found between the two groups of RA patients with and without IPF. Conclusion: The clinical symptoms of IPF in RA patients are mild and more common in older patients. AKA and anti-CCP antibody might be important antibodies associated with RA-IPF.

Objective To explore the effect of follow-up continuous nursing intervention on the psychological quality and medication compliance in patients with ulcerative colitis after discharge. Methods Ninety-seven patients with ulcerative colitis after discharge from October 2014 to October 2015 were recruited,and 48 cases were selected in the study group and 49 cases in the control group randomly. The control group received routine postdischarge care. The study group received postdischarge follow-up nursing intervention. After 3 months of postdischarge intervention, the psychological quality of patients in two groups was assessed by the emotion application measure scale separately. The Morisky Medication Adherence Scale 8-item version (MMAS 8-item version) was used for the assessment of the medication compliance of the two groups of patients. Results After the intervention, the patients in the study group showed better psychological quality and medication compliance than the patients in the control groups.There were significant differences between two groups. Conclusion Post-discharge follow-up nursing intervention on patients with ulcerative colitis is effective for improving the psychological quality and the medication compliance and may be helpful to improve the life quality of the patients.

Aim To investigate whether 8-bromo-7-methoxychrysin ( BrMC ) can reverse the epithelial-mesenchymal transition ( EMT) in sphere-forming cells (SFCs) derived from cervical cancer SiHa cell line. Methods Human cervical cancer SiHa cell line was cultured in vitro and then SFCs were obtained from Si-Ha cell line using suspension culture with the stem-condition culture system. After treatment with BrMC for 72 h, the morphology of SFCs of SiHa cell line was observed via monolayer adherence culture. The expres-sion levels of E-cadherin, N-cadherin and Twist1 pro-teins were analyzed using western blot assay. Results SFCs of SiHa cell line presented the mesenchyme-like( spindle-shaped) cell shape and exhibited reduced E-cadherin and elevated N-cadherin protein expres-sion, compared with the parental cells. After treatment with BrMC(1. 0 μmol·L-1 ) for 72 h, SFCs of SiHa cell line changed from spindle-shaped cells in to poly-gon shaped cells under monolayer adherence culture. After treatment with BrMC for 24 h, the expression lev-els of E-cadherin protein were up-regulated and the ex-pression levels of N-cadherin and Twist1 proteins were decreased in SFCs derived from SiHa cell line. Con-clusion BrMC effectively reverses EMT of SFCs de-rived from cervical cancer SiHa cell line, and its mechanism is involved in down-regulating the expres-sion of Twist protein.
