Aim To study the effects of ferulic acid (FA) on E-selectin expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) activated by lipopolysaccharide and leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion. Methods The effects of FA on E-selectin and E-selectin mRNA expression were determined by flow cytometry and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The effect of FA on HL60-HUVEC adhesion was evaluated with the method of staining the cells by Rose Bengal. Results The expression of tively). Conclusion FA can inhibit the expression of E-selectin and E-selectin mRNA and HL60-HUVEC adhesion. This may contribute to its protective effect against ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of nutritional risk,malnutrition(undemutrition),overweight/obesity,and application of nutritional support in hospitalized patients with endocrine disorders.Methods Adult patients in Department of Endocrine of Peking Union Medical College Hospital(PUMCH)from September to December 2008 were consecutively enrolled.Nutrional Risk Screening 2002(NRS2002)war per-formed on the next morning after admission and nutritional support evaluation was performed on the 14th day of ad-mission or on the discharge day.The relationship between nutritional risk and nutritional support Was analyzed.Nu-tritional risk was defined as NRS2002 score≥3,and body mass index(BMI)<18.5 ks/m2 defined as unclernut-rition.Results A total of 152 patients were enroled,and NBS2002 scoring was performed in all patients.The prevalence of undernutrition Was 7.9%and the nutritional risk was 27.6%.The prevalence of nutritional risk in the elderly inpotients(≥60 years old)was significantly higher than in younger patients(18-59 years old)(36.8%vs 20.2%,P=O.023).Nine patients(21.4%)with NRS2002≥3 received nutrition support,and 12patients(10.9%)with NRS2002<3 received nutritional support.The average PN:EN ratio was 1:3.2.Conclu-siom NRS2002 is afeasible nutritional risk screening tool for inpatients with endocrine disorders.A large propor-tion of inpotients were at nutritional risk or undemutrition in the Department of Endocrine of PUMCH. The application of nutritional support currently is somehow inappropriate.Evidence-based guidelines are required to improve this situation

Objective To explore the relationship between snoring and hypertension in the elderly.Methods A total of 375 subjects who were ≥40 years without stroke and myocardial infarction accepted questionnaire survey on snoring.Non conditional Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the factors of hypertension.Results In 375 subjects,non-snore was in 169 subjects,occasionally snore was in 86 subjects and regular snore was in 120 subjects,the prevalence of hypertension in them were 33.7%(57/169),39.5%(34/86) and 49.2% (59/120),respectively,there was significant difference among them.Non conditional Logistic regression analysis showed:after correcting other factors,regular snore was still risk factor of hypertension,the OR value was 2.124 (95% CI 1.189-3.796).According to gender stratification,regular snore was still risk factor of hypertension in female,the OR value was 3.993 (95% CI 1.259-12.663),rather than risk factor in male.Condusion Regular snore is relevant to the increased prevalence of hypertension,and it is a risk factor of hypertension.

Objective To summarize the clinical features of bee sting caused aute kidney injury in children and the effect of he-modialysis therapy .Methods 60 children cases of bee sting caused acute renal injury were performed the retrospective analysis on the clinical features and laboratory data .Results Cystatin C ,serum creatinine ,blood urea nitrogen in children patients with acute kidney injury after hemodialysis were significantly decreased ,while procalcitonin ,high-sensitivity C-reactive protein ,acidosis and e-lectrolyte imbalance also were corrected or improved .After hemodialysis in 60 children cases ,45 cases were clinically cured ,13 cases were significantly improved and discharged and 2 cases died .Conclusion Bee sting is most likely to result in children acute renal in-jury .Hemodialysis is safe and effective treatment measures for acute kidney injury ,can actively improve the renal function without significant complications of acid-base balance and electrolyte imbalance .But the prognosis is closely related with the onset age of the aute kidney injury ,injury severity ,where or not accompanied by MOF ,opportunity of diagnose and treatment ,etc .

Objective:To systematically review the teaching effect of problem-based learning (PBL) combined with evidence-based medicine (EBM) teaching mode on the standardized residency training.Methods:CNKI, Wanfang database, VIP database, SinoMed, Embase, PubMed and Web of SCI databases were searched, and the randomized controlled trial (RCT) studies of the application of EBM combined with PBL teaching in standardized residency training were collected. The retrieval time was from the establishment to 1st July, 2018. Two investigators independently extracted data and assessed the quality of the studies. After assessing the risk of bias of included studies, Meta-analysis was performed on RevMan 5.3.Results:In total, 4 studies were included in the review. Narrative assessment was adopted, because outcome indicators of these study were varied and the quality of the literatures could not meet the requirement of Meta-analysis. Our study suggested that the residents who were in PBL combined with EBM teaching mode group got higher scores in the standardized residency training, compared with those in the lecture-based learning (LBL) teaching mode group, especially in case analysis score, total score of examination, improvement of clinical thinking ability, communication and expression ability, organization and cooperation ability, etc.Conclusion:The current evidence suggests that the application of EBM combined with PBL teaching mode has a positive effect on the standardized residency training. Compared with the traditional LBL teaching, EBM can improve students' ability. However, limited by the quantity and quality of included studies, the above conclusions still need to be verified by more studies with larger samples and higher quality.
