Objective To evaluate the relationship and screening value of percentage of body fat (BF%) and waist height ratio (WHtR) for hyperlipidemia in physical examination people. Methods A total of 2 668 objects taking physical examination in Henan Province People′s Hospital from September to December 2014 were included in this study. Values of height, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, body composition and blood lipid level were detected. The receiver oper?ating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to analyze the screening rate of WHtR and BF%on hyperlipidemia with sensitivi?ty, specific and area under the curve (AUC). After stratified by age, waist circumference and BMI, multivariable logistic re?gression analysis was used to investigate the association between hyperlipidemia risk, BF% and WHtR. Results The screening accuracy rate on hyperlipidemia was higher for BF%, AUC was 0.79 in both female and male people. Among wom?en with BMI<18.5 kg/m2 and 18.5~<24 kg/m2, the risk of hyperlipidemia was higher in superfatted group than that of normal group. There was no correlation between WHtR and hyperlipidemia. Among men older than 40 y or with abnormal waist cir?cumference (≥85 cm), the risk of hyperlipidemia was higher in superfatted group than that of normal group, but not associat?ed with WHtR. Conclusion The BF%is a better screening indicator for hyperlipidemia compared with that of WHtR and BMI. Women with BMI<18.5 kg/m2 and 18.5~<24 kg/m2 and men older than 40 y or with waist circumference over 85 cm are suggested to do body composition tests to improve screening accuracy for hyperlipidemia.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of heart-regulating and mind-calming acupuncture on the expression of gap junction protein connexin43 (Cx43) in myocardial cells in a rabbit model of ventricular arrhythmia.MethodA rabbit model of ventricular arrhythmia was made by injecting barium chloride into the marginal ear vein. Forty New Zealand rabbits were randomized into control, model, acupuncture and medication groups. The acupuncture group received heart-regulating and mind-calming acupuncture[at Lingtai(GV10), Shendao(GV11), bilateral Neiguan(PC6)and Baihui(GV20)]and the medication group, oral gavage of propafenone. Rabbit left ventricle was taken after the completion of the experiment. Cx43 expressions were compared and analyzed usingan immunohistochemical staining technique and a computer image processing system.ResultCx43 expression decreased significantly in the model group compared with the control group (P<0.01) and increased in the acupuncture and medication groups compared with the model group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in Cx43 expression between the acupuncture and medication groups (P>0.05).Conclusion Adjusting Cx43 expression in myocardial cells may be one of the target points for this acupuncture treatment of arrhythmia.

Objective To investigate the radiation dose delivered to the patients with dense breasts and the influence of photographic conditions on image quality in full field digital mammography (FFDM).Methods (1) Clinical test:we analyzed the compression thickness of breasts,Target-filter(T-F),voltage current (kV),tube current (mAs),average glandular dose (AGD) and entrance surface dose (ESE) of 100 patients (a total of 370 images,277 images of Molybdenum-Rhodium(Mo-Rh)and 93 images of Wolfram-Rhodium (W-Rh)) who underwent examinations in mode of automatic exposure by FFDM with dense breasts.(2) Phantom experiments:placed the Aluminium plate on different thickness of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) plates to simulate the dense breasts.68 mm phantom was used to simulate photographic condition of W-Rh and 58 mm to Mo-Rh.The two groups of dense phantom were exposed automatically and manually.The parameters were recorded for each exposure including the compression thickness of breasts,T-F,kV,mAs,AGD,ESE,the calculation of the ratio between ESE and AGD (ESE/AGD).The image quality figure inverse (IQFInv) was obtained by software.To the clinical test,used multiple factors of variance to analyze the influence of compression thickness and mAs on AGD and ESE,Pearson correlation and regression to analyze the influence of compression thickness on ESE/AGD.To the phantom experiments,used Pearson correlation to analyze the influence of kV and mAs on AGD,ESE and ESE/AGD,single factor of variance to analyze the influence of kV and mAs on IQFInv.Results (1) Clinical test:to Mo-Rh and W-Rh,with the increase of compression thickness,ESE/AGD was increased significantly.Compression thickness had linear relationship with ESE/AGD.Pearson correlation coefficients of W-Rh and Mo-Rh were 0.956 and 0.980,respectively(P<0.01).The effects of compression thickness and mAs on AGD and ESE were statistically significant (P<0.05) in the two groups.(2)Phantom experiments:adjusted exposure parameters to the two dense phantoms of W-Rh and Mo-Rh.With the increase of mAs and kV,IQFInv was increased in W-Rh and Mo-Rh.Different mAs and kV were statistically significant (P<0.05) on IQFInv,mAs and kV had positive correlation with ESE and AGD (P<0.05),mAs and kV had different correlation with ESE/AGD in the two dense phantoms.Conclusions In mode of automatic exposure by FFDM,choosing W-Rh can achieve relatively high image quality and lower radiation dose.According to the results of phantom experiments,adjusting kV and mAs properly in manual exposure can reduce AGD and ESE effectively and ensure the quality of the image.

Objective To establish a method for detection of serum urocanic acid (UCA) by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC),and explore the clinical significance of serum UCA concentration for children acute leukemia.Methods The chromatographic conditions of HPLC were set up and optimized,and the linearity of standard curve,precision,accuracy and stability were validated.Then the serum from ninety acute leukemia children and ninety non-tumor blood disease children was collected,the concentration of serum UCA was detected with HPLC,and the differences of two groups were compared to study the clinical significance of UCA in children acute leukemia.Results The HPLC method for detecting serum UCA was successfully established and optimized.The standard curves of trans-UCA and cis-UCA both showed good linearities(R2=0.999 6 and 0.999 9) at the condition of the mobile phase of acetonitrile-20 mmol/L KH2PO4,pH 3.7(5:95,V/V),flow rate of 1.2 mL/min,detection wavelength of 264 nm in HPLC.The relative standard deviation RSD% of intra-assay and inter-assay were lower than 5%.Compared with non-tumor blood disease,the serum concentration of cis urocanic acid (cis-UCA) and trans urocanic acid (trans-UCA) of children with acute leukemia were significantly increased (P<0.001).Compared with cis-UCA,trans-UCA was more valuable for risk classification of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).Conclusions HPLC is a good technology to titrate of UCA in serum.The concentration of serum UCA in children with acute leukemia may provide the clues for diagnosis and prognosis,with important clinical significance.
