Objective To evaluate the semen quality of potential semen donors of college students and investigate their reproductive health status. Methods According to the screening procedure in the Basic Standard and the Technical Norms of Human Sperm Bank revised by Chinese Ministry of Health in 2003,all sperm samples of 355 potential donors were examined. Results 37 of 355 donors sperm(10.4%) were qualified to the normal standard revised by Chinese Ministry of Health;and the rest(89.6%) were abandoned,because the sperm numbers of 267 donors were not reached the identified semen standard of the human sperm bank in the first screen,26 donors(7.4%)were with abnormal health status,4 donors did not ejaculate and got samples,9 donors with normal semen quality did not take physical health examination,the normal shape percentage of 6 donors sperm was lower than 30% and the thawed revival percentage with(a+b) grade of 6 donors was lower than 60%.135 of 355 donors(38.0%) sperm quality were qualified to the male productive standard of WHO. Conclusion The results indicated that the sperm quality of undergraduate declines and the society should pay more attention to the reproductive health of college students.

Objective: To explore the value of body measurement indicators in screening for metabolic syndrome (MS), so as to provide the basis for early detection and prevention of MS. Methods: The individuals who were 18 years old or above and underwent physical examinations at a tertiary hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were selected using the convenience sampling method. Demographic information, lifestyle, waist circumference (WC) and blood biochemical indicators were collected through questionnaire surveys, physical examinations and laboratory tests. The associations of WC, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), body roundness index (BRI), abdominal volume index (AVI), lipid accumulation product (LAP) and visceral adiposity index (VAI) with MS were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model. The screening values of these body measurement indicators for MS were assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results: A total of 37 921 individuals were recruited, including 20 666 males (54.50%) and 17 255 females (45.50%), and had a median age of 41.00 (interquartile range, 20.00) years. There were 7 988 cases of MS, with a detection rate of 21.06%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that WC, WHR, LAP and VAI were statistically associated with MS (all P<0.05), and the risk of MS increased with the levels of these indicators (all Ptrend<0.05), after adjusting for confounding factors (gender, age, lifestyle, etc.). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of LAP for screening MS was the highest among single indicators, at 0.930 (95%CI: 0.927-0.933), and the optimal cut-off value was 43.13, Youden's index was 0.720, the sensitivity was 88.01%, and the specificity was 84.04%. The combined indicators of WC×VAI for screening MS had the highest AUC, which was 0.937 (95%CI: 0.935-0.939), and the optimal cut-off value was 0.17, Youden's index was 0.730, the sensitivity was 91.88%, and the specificity was 81.07%. The DeLong test showed that the AUC of WC×VAI for screening MS was higher than that of WC, WHR, LAP and VAI, respectively (all P<0.05). Conclusion The value of combining WC and VAI for screening MS is higher than other body measurement indicators.

Objective To explore the effect of shengmai injection (a Chinese herb preparation made from radix astragali and radix rehmanniae) on restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and hemodynamics in the early stage of resuscitation (CPR) in animal models of cardiac arrest, providing adjuvant support to stabilize the circulation for the facilitation of follow-up study in the resuscitated animal. Method A total of 30 rabbits were randomly(random number) divided into two groups, shengmai group and saline group, ( n = 15 in each group).Asphyxia method was used to establish animal models of cardiac arrest. In the shengmai group, 2 mL/kg shengmai injection was given immediately just after initiation of CPR and the same dose of shengmai injectio was given once again 10 minutes after ROSC. In the saline group, saline was administered in the same volume and at the same given time instead of shengmai injectio. The duration of cardiac arrest of rabbits, and the lengths of time consumed for ROSC and for resume of spontaneous respiration after CPR as well as the rate of ROSC obtained and 6-hours survival rate after CPR were documented. The changes of hemodynamics including LVSP, + dp/dtmax,- dp/dtmax, LVEDP were recorded before asphyxia,just after the emergence of ROSC and 30 min,60 min, and 120 min after ROSC. Results There were no significant differences in duration of cardiac arrest, length of time consumed for the resume of spontaneous respiration, rate of ROSC obtained and 6-hours survival rate between two groups (P ＞ 0.05), but the ROSC emerged sooner in shengmai group. The LVSP, + dp/dtmax and- dp/dtmaxsignificantly lower 30 min, 60 min and 120 min after ROSC then those before asphyxia in both groups, but LVEDP increased after ROSC (P ＜0.05). At the corresponding intervals after ROSC, the values of LVSP, + dp/dtmaxand - dp/dtmax in the shengmai group were higher than those in the saline group, and the values of LVEDP in the shengmai group were lower than those in the saline group ( P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusions Shengmai injectio used in rabbits with cardiac arrest can shorten the time consumed for ROSC after CPR, improve cardiac diastolic and systolic function after R OSC, stabilizing the hemodynamics after resuscitation.

Objective:To study the preventive and health effects of Ampelopsis grossedentata on hyperlipidemia. Method:Thirty Wistar rats were divided into three groups:control group, model group and test group. The control group was fed normal diet, while the model and test groups were fed high fat diet.The control and model group were given water while the test group was given water with 20% Ampelopsis grossedentata for 15 w. Serum lipids, hemorrheological indices, myocardial enzymes and IL-6 were measured. Results: At the end of experiment, serum TC, TG, LDL-C, and apoB/apoA, serum and myocardial MDA, myocardial enzymes activities, hemorrheological indices and serum IL-6 were obviously higher in model group while the activities of serum and myocardial SOD and GSH-Px were lower. In test group. serum TC, TG and apoB/apoA levels, serum and myocardial MDA, myocardial enzymes activities, hemorrheological indices, and serum IL-6 were significantly lower than those in model group, but HDL-C, SOD and GSH-Px activities higher. Conclusion:Ampelopsis grossedentata could significantly decrease blood lipids and hemorrheological indices of rats fed with high fat diet, and protect myocardial cells fromoxidation, and as a result to prevent hyperlipidemia and cardiovascular disease.

Objective To study the effect of continous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) and mutiple subcutaneous insulin infusion (MSII) on type 2 diabetes mellitus during perioperation. Methods One hundred and eighty surgical patients complicated with Type 2 diabetes were randomly divided into two groups,98 cases in the CSII group (treated with CSII of novolin R) and 82 cases in the MSII group (treated with MSII of novolin R and no-volin N). Blood glucose level,the time to reach normal blood glucose level, the average dosage of insulin, the inci-dence of hypoglycemic,infection rate of incisions and inpatient days were measured in two groups before and after treatment. Results The level of fasting blood glucose after treatment in the CSII group (4.8 mmol/L (SD: 1.6)) was significantly lower than that of the MSII group (6.4 mmol/L(SD :2.1)) (t = 7.74,P < 0.05), and 2-h glucose in the CSII group (7.6 mmol/L(SD :2.3)) was significantly lower than that of the MSII group (9.3 mmol/L(SD: 2.4)) (t = 7.72, P < 0.05). The time to reach normal blood glucose level in the CSII group (4.1 days (SD: 2.9)) was shorter than that of MSII group (6.9 days (SD :2.0)) (t=2.81, P < 0.05). The average dosage of insulin in the CSII group (40.7 U(SD: 10.3)) was lower than that of the MSII group (63.2 U (SD: 17.0)) (t=3.57, P <0.05). The incidence of hypoglycemic in the CSII group (3.05%) was lower than that of the MSII group (9.20%) (χ~2 = 4.92,P < 0.05). The infection rate of incisions in the CSII group (0.0%) was lower than that of the MSII group (10.9%) (χ~2 =4.18, P < 0.05). The inpatient days in the CSII group (15.3 days (SD :7.2)) was shorter than that of the MSII group (22.5 days (SD :9.7)) (t = 3.12, P < 0.05). Conclusions Compared to multiple sub-cutaneous insulin infusion, continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion is more effective in controlling blood glucose, hypoglycemic and incision infection, thus is recommend to perioperative patients complicated with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effect of combination of triptolide and irbesartan on the podocytes in a type 2 diabetic(T2DM) rat model,and evaluate its mechanism.Methods T2DM rats were induced by fed with high-sucrose-high-fat diet combined with a low dose of streptozocin.The rats were randomly divided into 5 groups:normal control group ( NC,n =10),diabetes group ( DM,n =11),triptolide treatment group (DT,n =12),irbesartan treatment group (DI,n =12) and triptolide combined with irbesartan treatment group (DTI,n =13). Ultrastructure of podocytes was observed by electronic microscopy and urinary albumin (UAL) excretion by ELISA was determined after 8 weeks.The expression of nephrin and bone morphogenetic protein-7(BMP-7), connective tissue growth factor (CTGF),transforming growth factor (TGF)β1 mRNA and proteins were detected by immunohistochemistry,real-time PCR and Western blot. Results Increased UAL was significantly attenuated in all treatment groups.Compared to NC group,UAL in DM group was increased significantly (0.45 ± 0.09 vs 6.36 ± 0.87,P ＜ 0.01 ),while decreased in triptolide or irbesartan alone treatment group (2.48 ± 0.37 and 2.68 ±0.42,both P ＜ 0.01 ).Compared with those in control groups,kidney expression of nephrin,BMP-7 mRNA and proteins were downregulated while CTGF, TGFβ1 mRNA and proteins were significantly upregulated in T2DM rats. Triptolide or irbesartan each alone moderately ameliorated albuminuria and podocyte damage.However,their combined usage showed a dramatic therapeutic synergism,manifested by prevention of progressive albuminuria,restoration of the glomerular filtration barrier,reversal of the decline in slit diaphragm proteins,reduction expression of CTGF,TGFβ1,and upregulation of BMP-7.Conclusion Our findings show that triptolide can increase the efficacy of irbesartan,leading to a more effective prevention of kidney disease in T2DM rat model,which may through upregulation of BMP-7 and inhibition the overexpression of CTGF and TGFβ1.

Objective To review the clinical features,etiology and differential diagnosis of hypopituitarism.Methods The clinical data of 260 patients with hypopituitarism admitted to our hospital during 2007 to 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.Results In 260 patients 96 were males and 164 were females,the average age of female patients was significantly higher than that of males[ (44 ± 16) vs.(32 ± 20) years; t =3.821,P =0.001 ].Patients under 20 years accounted for the highest proportion in male cases (38/96,39.6％) ; while patients aged 40 - 60 years were the highest proportion for female cases (86/164,52.4％).Pituitary tumor and postoperative damage was the most common cause for hypopituitarism accounting for 36.2％ (94/260),followed by Sheehan syndrome (86/260,33.1％).The most common manifestation of hypopituitarism was anemia (102 eases) ; 26 cases presented all pituitary function failure.The causes leading to hypopituitarism usually showed specific manifestations in imaging examinations.The overall misdiagnosis rate was 40.4％ (105/260)in this series,while that of etiological diagnosis was 25.4％ (66/260).Conclusions This study suggests that hypopituitarism caused by different causes can be diagnosed by disease history,clinical manifestations and pituitary imaging examination.

ObjectiveTo investigate the relevant factors influencing the incidence and mortality of post cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS), and to provide the basis of improvement of resuscitation rate.Methods A single center retrospective study of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) according to Utstein model was conducted. A clinical case report form was designed to collect clinical data. The clinical data of patients whose spontaneous circulation was restored (ROSC)> 24 hours in intensive care unit (ICU) of the First Hospital of Jilin University from January 2008 to June 2014 were collected and analyzed. The relevant risk factors of the incidence and mortality rate of PCAS were screened and analyzed by multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results① Successful CPR was achieved in 93 patients, of whom 83 patients were shown to have systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), and 75 patients suffered from PCAS (80.65%). Among them 49 died, and 18 patients who did not suffer from PCAS survived.② The age, gender, history of previous chronic disease, site of occurrence of cardiac arrest, type of rhythm when cardiac arrest occurred, and dosage of adrenaline showed no significant influence on the incidence of PCAS. The incidence of PCAS was elevated when defibrillation was done more than 3 times (χ2= 10.806,P= 0.001), SIRS occurred after ROSC (χ2= 46.687,P< 0.001), interval between collapse and first defibrillation over 5 minutes (χ2 = 6.429,P = 0.011), interval between collapse and CPR longer than 5 minutes (χ2 = 4.638,P = 0.031), interval between collapse and administration of first resuscitation medication> 5 minutes (χ2 = 4.190,P = 0.041), and ROSC time was longer than 10 minutes (χ2 = 20.042,P< 0.001). Bivariate correlation showed that interval between collapse and CPR, interval between collapse and administration of first resuscitation medications, and ROSC time were all correlated (r1 = 0.677,r2 = 0.481,r3 = 0.617, allP< 0.001).③ There were no significant relations between the prognosis of PCAS patients and times of defibrillation, the amount of adrenaline used, and interval between collapse and first defibrillation. The mortality rate of PCAS was relatively elevated when interval between collapse and CRP was longer than 5 minutes (χ2 = 10.792,P = 0.001), interval between collapse and administration of first resuscitation medications was longer than 5 minutes (χ2 = 13.841,P< 0.001), ROSC time> 10 minutes (χ2 = 36.451,P< 0.001), the number of dysfunction organ≥ 4 (χ2 = 28.287,P< 0.001), arterial blood lactate levels> 2 mmol/L (χ2 = 28.926, P< 0.001), and acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ (APACHEⅡ) score> 15 (χ2 = 33.558,P< 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors affecting the prognosis were ROSC time [odds ratio (OR) after adjustment = 36.643, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 2.382-563.767,P = 0.010], the number of organs with dysfunction (OR = 9.010, 95%CI = 1.140-71.199,P = 0.037), and APACHEⅡ score (OR = 10.001, 95%CI =1.336-74.893,P = 0.025).Conclusions ROSC time, the number of organs with dysfunction, and APACHEⅡ score were independent predictors of PCAS prognosis. Efforts should be given to shorten the rescue time, to shorten the time for restoring the spontaneous circulation, to prevent and treat SIRS after ROSC, and to protect the function of organs, in order to improve the prognosis of patients with PCAS.
