Objective To measure the changes of portal venous pressure before and after APS by percutanous portal vein catheterization and to quantitatively analyse the correlation between portal pressure and portal hypertension.Methods All the 18 central arterioportal shunts (APS) patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were treated with embolization of APS and TACE, and the pressure of portal vein was measured by percutaneous portal vein catheterization pre- and post-embolization of APS. Color dopplar sonography and endoscopy were employed to investigate before and 2 weeks after embolization in all patients. Results The pressure of portal vein decreased significantly after embolization, and the decreased rate was 5.4%-33.3% with the mean rate 20.1%. After the embolization, the width of portal vein decreased and the blood flow velocity of portal vein increased significantly, P

Objective To apply the combination evaluation model in the comprehensive evaluation of sci-tech influence of hospitals in China.Method 42 Grade-Ⅲll hospitals were selected and evaluated by analytic hierarchy process (AHP),principal components analysis and entropy method.Kendall's coefficient of concordance (W) was applied to check the coherence of the evaluation results from the three methods above.Average method,Borda method,Copeland method and fuzzy Borda method were used for combining the single evaluation result.Spearman rank correlation was then used for testing whether the combination evaluation results matched the single evaluation result.Result Kendall's W correlation test showed consistency among three single evaluation results.A strong correlation between each combination evaluation result and the single evaluation result was observed by Spearman rank correlation analysis.The average method was chosen as the best method based on the Spearman rank correlation coefficient.Conclusion The study confirmed that the combination evaluation method can be applied in evaluating sci-tech influence of hospitals in China.

After the factors that influence the selection of words were analyzed according to the problems in selec-tion of words for co-word analysis, a hypothesis for how to select the word sets with its verification analysis was pro-posed, the method for selecting words was thus decided according to the word frequency-covered literature area and the number of high frequency words. However, its practical use in large data sets needs to be further improved.

Objective:To examine the concordance between bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in determining body composition of children aged between 3 and 6.Methods:A total of 230 children aged 3-6 from a kindergarten in Jinnan, Tianjin were enrolled in this study from November 16 th to December 8 th, 2017.The soft lean mass (SLM) and the body fat mass (BFM) of the children were measured by using BIA and DXA.The children were divided into several groups by sex, age and body mass index (BMI). The consistency of the body composition results between BIA and DXA in each group was analyzed. Results:The SLM and BFM assessed by BIA were significantly correlated with those measured by DXA ( R2=0.951, 0.947, all P<0.001). The Bland-Altman plots suggested that the SLM measured by BIA was 0.70 kg(95% CI: -1.78-0.38) higher in that by DXA, and the BFM measured by BIA was 1.36 kg (95% CI: 0.19-2.52) lower in that by DXA.A similar trend could be seen in children stratified by age, sex and BMI.The SLM of boys and girls measured by BIA was 0.57 kg (95% CI: -1.63-0.49) and 0.84 kg (95% CI: -1.88-0.20) higher than those by DXA, respectively.The BFM of boys and girls measured by BIA was 1.23 kg (95% CI: 0.11-2.36) and 1.49 kg (95% CI: 0.34-2.64) lower than that by DXA, respectively.The SLM measured by BIA was 0.67 kg (95% CI: -1.74-0.41), 0.76 kg (95% CI: -1.65-0.13), 0.69 kg (95% CI: -1.85-0.47) and 0.67 kg (95% CI: -1.75-0.41) higher than those by DXA in the 3 to 6-year-old groups, respectively.The BFM measured BIA was 1.09 kg (95% CI: -0.12-2.30), 1.44 kg (95% CI: 0.60-2.28), 1.39 kg (95% CI: 0.15-2.64)and 1.43 kg(95% CI: 0.38-2.48)lower than that by DXA in the 3 to 6-year-old groups, respectively.Moreover, the smallest difference of the SLM and BFM were observed between BIA and DXA in the obese child.The SLM deviation between BIA and DXA was estimated within ± 0.39 kg and the BFM deviation was within ± 0.93 kg. Conclusions:There is high consistency between BIA and DXA in the assessment of the SLM and BFM of children aged from 3 to 6.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of childhood excessive adiposity on long-term risk of adult carotid atherosclerosis and arterial stiffness.

METHODSAt baseline, in 1987, by using stratified cluster sampling design, 3 198 healthy children aged 6-18 were recruited from six primary schools and six middle schools from three districts (Chaoyang, Xicheng, and Haidian) in Beijing, with blood pressure, weight, height and left scapular skinfold thickness (LSSF) measured. From April 2010 to July 2012, 1 225 subjects were followed from childhood to adulthood. Questionnaire, biochemistry parameters, carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), and carotid intima media thickness (cIMT) were measured at follow-up. Based on weight statuses in childhood and adulthood, subjects were classified into four groups (persistent non-overweight from childhood to adulthood, overweight in childhood but non-overweight in adulthood, non-overweight in childhood but overweight in adulthood, persistent overweight from childhood to adulthood). Multiple logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between weight statuses changing from childhood to adulthood and adult high cfPWV and high cIMT.

RESULTSThe prevalence of overweight (including obesity) at adulthood was 52.2% (639). Males had higher prevalence of smoking (62.5%(422/675) vs 29.4%(160/550), χ(2)=133.21, P<0.001), drinking (52.1%(353/675) vs 26.1%(140/550), χ(2)=87.13, P<0.001), overweight (including obesity) (69.3% (468/675) vs 31.1% (171/550), χ(2)=182.18, P< 0.001) than females. With adjusting for gender, age, and length of follow-up, the risk of high cfPWV and high cIMT increased by 26% and 58% for 1 units increase in BMI, and by 30% and 36% for 1 units increase in LSSF. Compared to subjects with persistent non-overweight from childhood to adulthood, subjects with overweight in childhood but non-overweight in adulthood had similar risks of high cfPWV (OR=1.59, 95%CI: 0.77-3.30)and high cIMT (OR=1.47, 95%CI:0.65-3.31). The risks of high cfPWV and high cIMT increased among subjects with non-overweight in childhood but overweight in adulthood (OR=1.92, 95%CI:1.37-2.68; OR=3.69, 95% CI:2.61- 5.23) and among subjects with persistent overweight from childhood to adulthood (OR=2.53, 95%CI:1.70-3.76; OR=5.37, 95%CI:3.62-7.97).

CONCLUSIONSWe concluded that a overweight children changed to a healthy weight adult, the risks of adult subclinical atherosclerosis and arterial stiffness would not be increased.
