Objective To explore the role of long noncoding RNA ( lncRNA) CTD-2012K14. 6 in the development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) related macrosomia. Methods The quantitative real-time PCR ( qRT-PCR) was performed to measure the expression of CTD-2012K14.6 in placentas of women with or without GDM, and the quantity of CTD-2012K14. 6 expression and its association with fetal weights were analyzed; Bioinformatic analysis was performed to predict the downstream molecules. CTD-2012K14. 6 over-expressing lentiviral and siRNA was constructed in human trophoblastic cell line HTR-8/SVneo cells, qRT-PCR and Western blot (WB) were used to invest its effect in modulating the expression of downstream molecules. Results The expression of CTD-2012K14.6 in GDM placentas was significantly higher than that in normal controls (1.70 ± 0.63 vs 1.00 ± 0.56,t=3.68,P＜0.01), and positively correlated with fetal weight (r=0.8501, P＜0.01); on-line analysis showed that CTD-2012K14.6 was located at chr16:67,549,214-67,563,958, which was located in the intron of CCCTC-binding factor( CTCF); Up-regulating CTD-2012K14.6 could significantly reduce the expression of CTCF mRNA and protein, and increase the expression of insulin-like growth factor-Ⅱ( IGF-Ⅱ) mRNA and protein, while down-regulating CTD-2012K14.6 could significantly increase the expression of CTCF mRNA and protein, and reduce the expression of IGF-ⅡmRNA and protein. Conclusion The CTD-2012K14. 6 may play an important role in the pathogenesis of GDM related macrosomia by upregulating the expression of CTCF and IGF-Ⅱ.

Objective To investigate the effect and nursing experience of iliacus groin approaches and internal fixation treatment for patients with pelvic fractures. Methods Twenty- six patients with unstable pelvic fracture were obtained iliac groin approaches and internal fixation treatment, the changing symptoms in patients were monitored frequently, and all patients were performed general nursing. Results All patients were followed up for 0.5 to 5.0 years, without obvious complications, the results of surgical treatment included optimal 16 cases, good 7 cases, mean 3 cases. Conclusions Iliacus groin approaches and internal fixation with reconstruction plate treatment on pelvic fractures was proved to be reset accurate, reliable and strong, with better effects. Effective nursing measures can save life of patients with pelvic fractures, speed up rehabilitation of physiological function, improve life quality of the patients.

Aim & methods The antagonism of L-dicentrine to contraction of isolated porcine coronary artery strips induced by 5-HT KCl and Ca2+ was observed with U-135 electrophsiological recorder.Results The contractions induced by 5-HT KCl and Ca2+ after high K+ depolarization in the strips of porcine coronary artery were markediy inhibited by L-dicentrine.L-dicentrine significantly depressed maximal response and caused rightward displacement of the dose -response curve. Showing a non-competitive antagonism. In Ca2+ free solution,L-dicentrine inhibited 5-HT-induced contraction of porcine coronary artery,which is dependent on Ca2+ relesed from intracellular store. After Ca2+ concentration in bath solution was restored,L-dicentrine did not influence the contraction of porcine coronary artery depending on extracellular Ca2+.Conclusion L-D have significant relaxation on porcine coronary artery ,which possibly has 5-HT receptor and histamine receptor.

OBJECTIVETo observe the impacts on the recovery of swallowing function in patients of dysphagia after acute stroke treated with acupuncture and functional electric stimulation.

METHODSSeventy-four patients were randomized into an acupuncture plus electric stimulation group (38 cases) and an electric stimulation group (36 cases). The functional electric stimulator was used in the two groups. The electric pads were placed on the hyoid bone, the upper part of thyroid cartilage, the masseter muscle and the mandibular joint. The treatment lasted for 30 mm each time. In the acupuncture plus electric stimulation group, acupuncture was supplemented at motor area of Jiao's scalp acupuncture, lower 2/5 of sensory area, Baihui (CV 20), Lianquan (CV 23), Jinjin (EX-HN 12) and Yuye (EX-HN 13), 30 mm each time. The treatment was given once a day, 6 treatments for one session and there was 1 day at interval between the sessions, 4 sessions were required totally in the two groups. The dysphagia scale was adopted for efficacy evaluation before treatment and after 4 sessions of treatment in the two groups. The removal rate of nasal feeding tube was observed after treatment.

RESULTSThe dysphagia score was increased apparently after treatment compared with that before treatment in the two groups (both P < 0.05). After treatment, in the acupuncture plus electric stimulation group, the dysphagia score was increased much more apparently than that in the electric stimulation group (8.01 +/- 1.25 vs 6.73 +/- 1.36, P < 0.05). The remarkably effective rate was 84.2% (32/38) in the acupuncture plus electric stimulation group, better than 58.3% (21/36) in the electric stimulation group (P < 0.05). The removal rate of nasal feeding tube was 89.5% (34/38) in the acupuncture plus electric stimulation group, which was higher than 50. 0% (18/36) in the electric stimulation group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONAcupuncture combined with electric stimulation achieves the much better efficacy on dysphagia after acute stroke and promotes the early removal of nasal feeding tube. The efficacy is better than that of the simple electric stimulation therapy.

Objective To investigate the relationship between bed rest time and development of prethrombotic state in the elderly patients with hip fracture.Methods One hundred and sixty-six patients who stayed in bed after hip fracture,aged ≥65 yr,were divided into 5 groups according to the bed rest time on admission to hospital:bed rest time ＜ 24 h (Ⅰ group,n =61),bed rest time 24-48 h (Ⅱ group,n =29),bed rest time 3-6days (Ⅲ group,n =29),bed rest time 7-14 days (Ⅳ group,n =34),and bed rest time ＞ 14 days (Ⅴ group,n =13).Venous blood samples were collected to measure the platelet count,coagulation function,and concentrations of plasma D-Dimer and serum α-granule membrane protein 140 (GMP-140).The development of abnormality in each index was recorded.The development of deep vein thrombosis in both lower extremities was diagnosed using color Doppler ultrasound in D-Dimer-positive patients.Results Compared with group Ⅰ,the abnormal rate of fibrinogen (Fib) and D-Dimer and serum GMP-140 concentrations were significantly increased in Ⅱ and Ⅲ groups,the abnormal rate of platelet count,Fib and D-Dimer and serum GMP-140 concentrations were increased in lⅣ group,and the abnormal rate of platelet count was increased,and no significant change was found in the serum GMP-140 concentrations and abnormal rate of Fib and D-Dimer in Ⅴ group.Compared with group Ⅱ,the serum GMP-140 concentrations were significantly increased in Ⅲ and Ⅳ groups,the abnormal rate of Fib and D-Dimer was increased in Ⅳ group,and no significant change was found in the abnormal rate of Fib and DDimer in Ⅲ group.The abnormal rate of platelet count was significantly lower in Ⅳ group than in Ⅲ group.Color Doppler Ultrasonography showed no sign of deep vein thrombosis.Conclusion For the elderly patients with hip fracture,the possibility of pre-thrombotic state developed is increased when the bed rest time is more than 24 h,and the patients were classified as high-risk patients when the bed rest time is more than 3 days.

Objective To explore the relationship between mental health and aggression among middle school students. Methods A total of 316 students were selected from a middle school in Hangzhou city by random sampling method and were assessed with the Mental Health Inventory of Middle -School (MMHI)and Junior Student Aggression Inventory. Results There were 177 students belonged to high level group of mental health(61.89%)and the total MMHI-60 score was 1.5 1 ±0.27 while 109 students belonged to low level group of mental health (38.1 1%)and the total MMHI-60 score was 2.52 ±0.47.The total and subscale scores of Aggression Inventory in the high level group of mental health were significantly lower than the low level group (both P<0.01 ).The total and subscale scores of Middle School Student Aggression Inventory were related to the total average scores of MMHI (P<0.01 ).Conclusion There is a negative correlation between mental health and aggression among middle school students.
