Objective To analyze risk factors for metabolic syndrome in Mongolia versus Han nationalities in Xilinhaote city. Methods Using the epidemiology investigation data of health examination,we calculated the prevalence of metabolic syndrome of Mongolia and Han nationalities, then used logistic regression model to explore risk factors of two nationalities. Results The crude prevalence of MS in Mongolia and Han nationality was 34.3%and 24.6% respectively. The multivariate logistic regression showed that male, the meat-rich diets and aging(OR:2.18, 1.92, 1.04 respectively)were the risk factors for Mongolia nationality, and smoking, family history of hypertension, drinking, the meat-rich diets, aging(OR:1.89, 1.84, 1.72, 1.61 and 1.04 respectively)were the risk factors for Han nationality. Conclusions Xinlinhaote population has higher MS prevalence, and different nationalities have different risk factors. We should take preventive actions to control it.

Object:To explore the effects of shared decision making-based intervention on decisional conflict and health literacy in stable coronary artery disease patients.Methods:A total of 86 stable coronary artery disease patients were divided into experimental group and control group according to the admission order, with 43 cases in each group. The patients in the control group recieved routine nursing, basis on this, the experimental group carried out shared decision making program. Before and after 1 month of intervention, the effects was assessed by Decisional conflict scale (DCS) and Health literacy management scale (HeLMS), respectively.Results:Before intervention, there was no significant difference in DCS and HeLMS scores between two group( P>0.05). After intervention, the information & values, decision uncertainty and total DCS scores were (6.95±2.13) pionts, (3.44±1.18) pionts and (20.95±3.99) pionts, significantly lower than in the control group (8.77±2.33) pionts, (4.95±1.46) pionts, (25.56±4.03) pionts; the information acquisition ability, interaction ability, willingness to improve health, willingness of financial support and total HeLMS scores were (36.77±4.85) pionts, (35.74±4.58) pionts, (15.07±1.55) pionts, (6.53±1.76) pionts, (94.12±6.44) pionts, significantly higher than in the control group [(34.37±5.84) pionts, (33.19±5.90) pionts, (14.23±1.43) pionts, (5.81±1.29) pionts, (87.60±9.18) pionts], the difference was statistically significant ( t values were 2.070-5.321, P<0.05). Conclusion:Shared decision making can effectively alleviate decisional conflict and improve health literacy of patients with stable coronary artery disease.

Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression were implemented to analyze the risk factors of 28-day mortality in sepsis patients, construction of a joint prediction model based on acute skin failure, and drawing of a column chart to verify its accuracy.Results:The 53 of 162 cases in the test group died, with mortality rate of 32.7%. The 19 of 69 cases in the validation group died, with mortality rate of 27.5%, there was no statistically significant difference in mortality rates between the two groups ( χ2 = 0.61, P = 0.437). The results of multivariate analysis in the test group showed that APACHE II score ( OR = 0.674, 95% CI 0.509-0.631), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment ( OR = 0.391, 95% CI 0.242-0.631), lactate ( OR = 2.291, 95% CI 1.306-4.019), skin mottling score ( OR = 2.950, 95% CI 1.586-5.488), skin wet cold ( OR = 3.678, 95% CI 0.910-1.865), capillary filling time>2 s ( OR = 6.070, 95% CI 0.774-1.579), decreased fingertip transcutaneous oxygen saturation ( OR = 2.046, 95% CI 1.312-2.076), and weakened skin sensation ( OR = 3.354, 95% CI 0.796-1.124) were independent risk factors that affecting the 28-day mortality of patients with sepsis. The verification results of combined predictive model for acute skin failure showed that the C-index of test group and validation group were 0.834 and 0.811 respectively; the areas under ROC curve were 0.834 and 0.807, respectively. Conclusions:Acute skin failure-based nomogram model can predict the 28-day mortality of patients with sepsis, and help medical staff to implement personalized intervention measures.

Objective To investigate the protective role of Sestrin2 overexpression in hypoxia and re-oxygenation injury (H/R) injury of hippocampal neurons and its mechanism in rats.Methods Neurons were enzymatically isolated from hippocampi of newborn Sprague-Dawley rats (less than 24 h old) and culturedinvitro. These neurons were randomly assigned into 4 groups (n=20) using a random number table: control group, H/R group, vector group and Sestrin2 overexpression group. The hippocampal neurons were seeded in 6-well plates at a density of 2×104 cells/mL; neurons in the latter two groups were transfected with lentiviruses containing empty vector andSestrin2overexpressed genes, respectively; the hippocampal neurons in the later three groups were subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) for 6 h followed by restoration of O2 supply for 20 h. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) content was detected by Reactive Species Assay Kit, and the ATP concentration was detected by ATP Assay Kit. Cell apoptosis rates were measured by flow cytometry. The levels of Sestrin2, dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), Fis1, and apoptosis-related proteins Bcl-2, Bax and cytochrome C (Cyt C) were measured by Western blotting. The ratio of Bcl-2 to Bax was calculated. The ultrastructure of mitochondria was observed by transmission electron microscopy.Results As compared with control group, H/R group had significantly lower ATP concentration, Bcl-2 protein expression and ratio of Bcl-2 to Bax ([11.15±0.42] nmol/mg proteinvs. [5.30±0.39] nmol/mg protein; 2.20±0.26vs. 0.91±0.02; 6.46± 0.41vs. 1.04±0.05), statistically higher average fluorescence intensity of ROS and cell apoptosis rate (152.41±17.38vs. 1530.00±14.69; 3.77％±0.74％vs. 56.57％±1.35％), and significantly higher protein levels of Sestrin2, Drp1, Fis1, Bax and Cyt C (0.66±0.06vs. 1.11±0.20; 0.48±0.03vs. 1.16±0.07; 1.14± 0.09vs. 2.47±0.09; 0.34±0.03vs. 0.88±0.04; 0.17±0.03vs. 0.30±0.03,P<0.05); what's more, the structure of mitochondria was obviously destroyed in I/R group. As compared with H/R group, Sestrin2 overexpression group had significantly increased ATP concentration, Sestrin2 and Bcl-2 protein expressions and ratio of Bcl-2 to Bax ([8.95±0.27] nmol/mg protein; 2.67±0.07; 1.80±0.19; 3.95±0.28), significantly lower average fluorescence intensity of ROS and cell apoptosis rate (337.27±15.32; 10.33％±2.60％), and statistically lower protein levels of Drp1, Fis1, Bax and Cyt C (0.43±0.02; 1.11±0.08; 0.45± 0.02; 0.17±0.02,P<0.05); the structure of mitochondria was relatively completed in Sestrin2 overexpression group.Conclusion Sestrin2 overexpression can inhibit mitochondrial fission, reduce accumulation of reactive oxygen species, improve mitochondrial energy metabolism and block mitochondria mediated apoptosis pathway, thereby alleviating I/R injury of rat hippocampal neurons.
