Dementia is a syndrome mainly characterized by acquired cognitive impairment, which is mainly manifested by the decrease of cognitive functions such as understanding, orientation, and visuospatial ability. Due to different intervention methods for different types of dementia, differential diagnosis is extremely important. Positron emission tomography (PET) can reflect the changes of brain function from multiple angles through different tracers, providing imaging basis for the differential diagnosis of dementia. This article reviews the characteristics of PET in patients with different types of dementia in order to provide ideas for the differential diagnosis of patients with different types of dementia.

Objective:To analyze the difference in immune microenvironment between primary tumor tissues and metastatic tumor tissues of metastatic colorectal cancer, and to screen specific immune-related differentially expressed genes (DEG) related to prognosis of metastatic colorectal cancer via bioinformatics methods.Methods:The GSE131418 microarray dataset of colorectal cancer and metastases was downloaded from gene expression omnibus (GEO) database, including 517 samples from the MCC cohort and 618 samples from the Consortium cohort in Moffitt Cancer Center. Immune-related gene sets were downloaded from immunology database and analysis portal IMMPORT, including 2 483 immune-related genes. A total of 695 cases of RNA sequencing data and 627 cases of clinical information of colorectal cancer tumors and adjacent tissues were downloaded from Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data. The stroma cell score, immune cell score and stromal immune total score of metastatic tumor tissues and primary tumor tissues were calculated by using ESTIMATE algorithm, and 22 kinds of immune cell infiltration in primary tumor and metastatic tumor tissues of colorectal cancer were compared and analyzed by using CIBERSORT deconvolution algorithm. Immune-related DEG were screened to make Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Gnomes (KEGG) signaling pathway enrichment analysis. The patients were divided into high and low expression groups according to the median expression levels of immune-related DEG. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression risk model were used to analyze immune-related DEG, and the genes significantly related to prognosis in the results of the two methods were screened (all P < 0.01), and multivariate analysis was performed by using Cox regression method. The expression differences of each gene in tumor tissues, adjacent tissues, primary tumor tissues and metastatic tissues in GSE131418 data sets of TCGA database and GEO database were compared, and survival analysis was also performed. Results:The stroma cell score, immune cell score and stromal immune total score of colorectal cancer metastatic tissues were lower than those of primary tumor tissues (all P < 0.001). Compared with primary tumor tissues, the proportion of activated natural killer (NK) cells, monocytes, CD8 + T cells, T cells, activated dendritic cells in metastatic colorectal cancer tissues was increased, while the proportion of inactive mast cells, inactive dendritic cells, inactive NK cells, activated memory CD4 + T cells, M1 macrophages, and neutrophils was decreased. There were 289 immune-related DEG in metastatic tissues and primary tumor tissues of metastatic colorectal cancer, including 101 up-regulated genes and 188 down-regulated genes. KEGG signaling pathway enrichment analysis showed that in the immune microenvironment of metastatic tissues in metastatic colorectal cancer, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling pathway, programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression and programmed death 1 (PD-1) checkpoint pathway, T helper cell (Th) 1, Th2 and Th17 cell differentiation, NF-kappa B signaling pathway, interleukin 17 (IL-17) signaling pathway, chemokine signaling pathway, T cell receptor signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, and NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity pathways enrichment were detected. Immune-related DEG related to prognosis including ANGPTL5, FPR1, HSPA8, NR2E3, PSMD2, PSMD8 and SBDS were screened out. Cox regression multivariate analysis showed that immune-related DEG ANGPTL5 ( HR = 2.69, 95% CI 1.22-5.92, P < 0.05), HSPA8 ( HR = 0.57, 95% CI 0.33-0.97, P < 0.05), and SBDS ( HR = 2.23, 95% CI 1.18-4.21, P < 0.05) were independent prognostic factors for metastatic colorectal cancer. The expression of ANGPTL5 in tumor tissues was lower than that in normal tissues, and the expression of ANGPTL5 in metastatic tissues was higher than that in primary tumor tissues. Patients with high expression of ANGPTL5 in tumor tissues had worse prognosis. The expression of HSPA8 in tumor tissues was higher than that in normal tissues, and the expression of HSPA8 in metastatic tissues was lower than that in primary tumor tissues. Patients with high expression of HSPA8 in tumor tissues had a better prognosis. The expression of SBDS in tumor tissues was lower than that in normal tissues, and the expression of SBDS in metastatic tissues was lower than that in primary tumor tissues. Patients with high expression of SBDS in tumor tissues had worse prognosis. Conclusions:Immune microenvironment of metastatic colorectal cancer is quite different from that of primary tumor. The degree of immune cell infiltration is reduced and the whole is immunosuppressed. The specific immune-related DEG related to prognosis of metastatic colorectal cancer may be new therapeutic targets of metastatic colorectal cancer.

Objective To explore the effects of telephone follow-up on patients with sub-clinical hypothyroidism. Methods Of 120 patients who were diagnosed as sub-clinical hypothyroidism between January, 2014 and June,2014, 60 were included in control group and 60 were assigned in observation group by a random number table. Patients in control group received routine check-up and treatment protocols according to their condition, in contrast, patients in observation group had extra telephone follow-up. Patients′symptoms, the degree of goiter, thyroid ultrasound examination, thyroid function and thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb), and other indicators were compared in the two groups after 12 weeks intervention. Results After the intervention, both groups had an improvement in slow reactions, chills, skin changes, body mass increase, etc. After invention, thyroid stimulating hormone and TPOAb in observation group were statistically different from those in control group [(1. 955 ± 1. 633) vs (2. 875 ± 3. 025) mIU/L, (204. 500 ± 825. 500) vs (438. 500 ± 1065. 250) IU/ml] (Z=2. 539,1. 451;P<0. 05). Patients with thyroid enlargementⅢdegrees reduced from 29 cases to 14 cases in observation group, which was better than that in control group (χ2 =2. 199, P<0. 05). Thyroid ultrasound results were similar between the two groups (χ2 =0. 043, P >0. 05). Conclusions Telephone follow-up intervention is helpful to improve the symptoms of patients with sub-clinical hypothyroidism, alleviate goiter and promote thyroid function back to normal.

Objective To observe clinical nurses′knowledge, attitude, and practice of evidence-based practice (EBP), and to explore its potential influencing factors, so as to provide targeted knowledge training for nurses.Methods The nurses′ information form and evidence-based practice questionnaire ( EBPQ) were used in this survey. Totally 140 nurses from a hospital in Beijing from June to July 2015 participated in this survey. Results The average score of practice, attitude, and knowledge on EBP were (22.94±7.32), (21.69±6.47) and (57.39±15.31). Statistically significant correlations were found among different nurses′ age, length of employment, educational background, job tittle and nurses′ practice, attitude, and knowledge score on EBP ( P<0.05) . Multivariate linear regression showed that the EBP of nurses was mainly decided by their knowledge level, attitude level, amount of literature reading, and endorsement related to EBP.Conclusions The status of nurses′knowledge and practice level related to EBP was low, and the attitude level was relatively positive. Knowledge training program should be established according to nurses′ age, length of employment, educational background, and job tittle, in order to raise the level of their knowledge, attitude and behavior on EBP. As well as the amount of literature reading and endorsement related to EBP are also primarily factors that influence the practice level.
