Chinese Journal of Gastroenterology 2019;24(5):279-284
Background: It is difficult to evaluate the long-term outcome of colorectal cancer screening project in a short period because of the long course of disease. Aims: To explore the epidemiological characteristics and mortality trends of non-neoplastic anorectal diseases among registered population in Pudong New Area, Shanghai from 1995 to 2017, so as to reflect on other aspects or indirectly the efficacy of colorectal cancer screening project. Methods: According to the Mortality Registration System of household registered residents in Pudong New Area, the crude mortality rate, standardized mortality rate, annual percentage change (APC) and other indicators were used to analyze the mortality trends of non-neoplastic anorectal diseases (K50-K52, K55-K63); the contribution of demographic and non-demographic factors to disease death before and after the implementation of colorectal cancer screening project was calculated by the differential decomposition method. Results: From 1995 to 2017, the total crude mortality rate of non-neoplastic anorectal diseases in Pudong New Area was 2.79/100 000, and the standardized mortality rate was 1.23/100 000; the crude mortality rate showed an upward trend (APC=1.67, P=0.009), whereas the standardized mortality rate showed a downward trend (APC=-3.45, P<0.001). For population aged ≥65 years, the crude mortality rate showed an upward trend from 1995 to 2009, and a downward trend from 2009 to 2017, respectively (APC=2.19, P=0.044; APC=-6.85, P=0.007). Death predominantly occurred in population aged ≥80 years. Before and after the screening project (1995-2012 vs. 2013-2017), the added value of demographic and non-demographic factors on total mortality was 1.24/100 000 and -1.33/100 000, respectively. With 1995 as the baseline, the contribution of non-demographic factors to the added value of mortality after screening was -2.25/100 000, with a contribution rate of 48.94%, which was superior to that before screening (-0.92/100 000, with a contribution rate of 45.37%). Conclusions: Aging of the population is the main cause of increased crude mortality rate of non-neoplastic anorectal diseases in Pudong New Area. Screening for colorectal cancer is an effective intervention to reduce the mortality of anorectal diseases and deserves further promotion.

Objective To investigate the effects of labeling Schwann cells with different concentrations of SPIO, and to investigate the feasibility of in vitro MR imaging. Methods The C57BL/6 mices'Schwann cells were isolated, purified, and then 0.5 × 106, 1.0 × 106, 5.0 × 106 cells were labeled with 25.0 μg/ml, 50.0 μg/ml SPIO. Prussian blue stain and transmission electron microscope (TEM) were performed for showing intracellular iron. The signal intensity of cells were evaluated by 3.0 MRI with different sequences in vitro. Results Different cell population (0.5 × 106, 1.0 × 106,5.0 × 106) were cultured with different concentration SPIO about 24 hours. Dyeing degree of labeling cells stained by Prussion blue gradually deepened from 25.0 μg/ml to 50.0 μg/ml. Transmission electron microscope indicated that iron particles accumulated inendosomes/lysosomes. The MR signal intensity of labeling cells were inversely correlated with the concentration of SPIO groups in T2WI and GRE/30° imaging in vitro. Conclusion Schwann cells could be labeled effectively with SPIO, and MRI could be used to monitor these labeled cells in vitro.

Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2022;29(5):702-705
Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of children with Kawasaki disease complicated by hypoproteinemia.Methods:The clinical data of 105 children patients with Kawasaki disease who received treatment in Ji'an Central People's Hospital, China between January 2015 and December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were divided into normal-level albumin (ALB) group (≥ 35 g/L, n = 54) and low-level ALB group (< 35 g/L, n = 51). White blood cell count, hemoglobin, C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, total bile acid, and coronary artery B-ultrasound examination results were compared between the two groups. Results:The incidence of hypoproteinemia was similar among all age groups. There was significant difference in coronary artery dilatation rate between the two groups (χ 2 = 5.49, P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the percentage of patients with hand and foot scleredema and urinary protein-positive rate between the two groups (χ 2 = 0.40, 0.39, both P > 0.05). White blood cell count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein level in the low-level ALB group were 15.2 × 10 9/L, (82.1 ± 26.1) mm/h, 94.7 mg/L, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the normal-level ALB group [11.5 × 10 9/L, (54.5 ± 26.2) mm/h, 43.65 mg/L, Z = -2.94, t = 5.40, Z = -6.01, all P < 0.01]. There were no significant differences in alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and total bile acid levels between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Conclusion:The incidence of Kawasaki disease complicated by hypoproteinemia is unrelated to age and it is related to inflammatory reaction. Hypoproteinemia is a risk factor of coronary artery dilatation. This study is of great science.

This study was aimed to investigate the estrogenic effects ofCoicis Semen in order to preliminarily discuss the mechanism. Mouse uterine weight test and MCF-7 cell proliferation assay were used to evaluate the estrogenic effects ofC. Semen. Reporter gene assays were adopted to explore the action mechanism ofC. Semen. In reporter gene assay, HEK293 cells were co-transfected with pERE-TAL-luc, pβgal-Control, pCXN2-hERα, or pCXN2-hERβ. And the expression of reporter gene luc was controlled by ERE. Mouse uterine weight test showed that compared with the control group, the aqueous extracts ofC. Semen can increase the uterus index of premature female mice (P<0.01). It can significantly promote the proliferation of MCF-7 cells in the medium without estrogen (P<0.01). The reporter gene controlled by ERE technology showed thatwhen mediated by ERα or ERβ respectively, the normalized luciferase activity of aqueous extracts ofC. Semen was significantly higher than activity of the control group (P< 0.05 orP< 0.01). It was concluded that the aqueous extracts ofC.Semen can increase the uterus index of premature female mice and promote the proliferation of MCF-7 cells in the medium without estrogen. We found the estrogenic effects ofC. Semen for the first time. And the estrogenic effects ofC. Semen were mainly mediated by ERβ.

Objective:To investigate the optimal dose of dexmedetomidine combined with propofol for anesthesia in patients undergoing modified electroconvulsive therapy (MECT).Methods:One hundred and sixty patients of both sexes, aged 20-60 yr, weighing 45-80 kg, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ, scheduled for elective MECT, were allocated into 4 groups ( n=40 each) by a random number table method: different doses of dexmedetomidine combined with propofol group (D 1, D 2 and D 3 groups) and routine anesthesia group (group C). Dexmedetomidine 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 μg/kg were intravenously injected in D 1, D 2 and D 3 groups, respectively, the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in group C, and propofol 1.0 mg/kg and succinylcholine 0.5 mg/kg were intravenously injected in turn 10 min later.Venous blood samples were collected before giving dexmedetomidine (T 0) and at 1 min after the end of MECT (T 1) for determination of the plasma epinephrine (E) and norepinephrine (NE) concentrations.Propofol consumption, occurrence of cardiovascular events, duration of epilespsy and energy suppression index were recorded. Results:Compared with group C, the plasma E and NE concentrations were significantly decreased at T 4, and the propofol consumption was reduced in D 1, D 2 and D 3 groups ( P<0.05). Compared with group D 2, the plasma E and NE concentrations were significantly increased at T 1 in group D 1 and decreased at T 1 in group D 3 ( P<0.05). The incidence of adverse cardiovascular events was significantly increased in group D 3 than in the other 3 groups ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in duration of epilespsy or energy suppfession index among the 4 groups( P>0.05). Conclusion:The optimal dose of dexmedetomidine combined with propofol 1.0 mg/kg is 0.4 μg/kg when used for anesthesia in the patients undergoing MECT.

OBJECTIVETo provide basic data for the prevention of oral diseases in minorities by investigating the oral health status and behavior related to oral health knowledge of individuals aged 35 to 44 years in Dongxiang, Bonan, and Yugur.
METHODSThe caries and periodontal health of 445 individuals aged 35 to 44 years were examined according to the method and criterion prescribed by the World Health Organization and the Third National Oral Health Epidemiologic Investigation. A questionnaire survey on related oral health knowledge and behavior was conducted.
RESULTSThe crown caries prevalence rate in Dongxiang, Baoan, and Yugur were 48.28%, 79.47%, and 67.11%, respectively; the root caries prevalence rates were 38.62%, 69.54%, and 42.95%, respectively. The rates of gum bleeding in Dongxiang, Bonan, and Yugur were 86.90%, 90.07%, and 65.77%, respectively. The rates of dental calculus in Dongxiang, Bonan, and Yugur were 99.31%, 100.00%, 99.33%, respectively, and the rates of periodontal bags were 68.97%, 67.55%, and 43.62%, respectively. Only 69.84% of the respondents brush their teeth every day; 94.90% of the respondents do not floss. Only 20.19% of the respondents contact a doctor for a toothache, and 42.23% of the respondents have never seen a dentist.
CONCLUSIONCaries morbidity is high among the respondents aged 35 to 44 years from Dongxiang, Bonan, and Yugur. The periodontal health status and oral hygiene of the respondents are poor, and behavior related to oral health knowledge is insufficient. Thus, more attention must be provided to the prevention and control of caries and periodontal diseases among middle-aged people in the area.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors of three-vessel disease (TVD) in patients with stable coronary artery disease (SCAD).Methods:The clinical data of 447 patients with SCAD diagnosed in Zhongshan Hospital from May 2019 to April 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, including 108 cases with the single-vessel disease (SVD), 136 cases with the two-vessel disease, and 203 cases with three-vessel disease. The general data and hematological indexes were compared between patients with SVD and those with TVD; the related factors for TVD in SCAD patients were analyzed with univariate and multivariate logistic regression.Results:There were 244 males (78.5%) and 67 females (21.5%) with a median age of 57 years (64, 69). Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in diabetes history ( χ2=7.75, P=0.005), uric acid ( Z=-2.10, P=0.036), glycosylated hemoglobin ( Z=-2.77, P=0.006) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ( Z=-2.99, P=0.003) levels between SVD and TVD groups. Multivariate analysis showed that the high level of blood uric acid ( OR=1.01, 95% CI: 1.00-1.01, P<0.05) and the low level of HDL-C ( OR=3.29, 95% CI:1.23-8.85, P<0.05) were related risk factors of TVD. Conclusion:High blood uric acid level and low HDL-C level are related factors for TVD in patients with SCAD.
