Objective To investigate the mineral contents of colostrum and peripheral blood and their correlation in pregnant women in Beijing. Methods A total of 80 pregnant women who gave birth in the Affiliated Fuxing Hospital of Beijing Capital Medical University in May 2019 were selected as research subjects, and their colostrum and peripheral blood samples were collected. The contents of 46 minerals in the colostrum and peripheral blood samples were determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) and Atomic fluorescence spectrum (AFS). The correlation between the contents of minerals in the colostrum and peripheral blood was analyzed by SPSS 21.0. Results Among the 46 minerals detected, the minerals with higher contents in the peripheral blood were sodium, potassium, iron, magnesium, calcium, zinc, rubidium, copper, aluminum and selenium. The minerals with higher colostrum contents included potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, rubidium, copper, strontium and aluminum. The contents of calcium, strontium, cesium, molybdenum, cobalt, uranium and thorium in the colostrum were significantly higher than those in the peripheral blood (P<0.05). There were significant correlations in the contents of sodium, rubidium, selenium, strontium, cesium, arsenic, mercury and cadmium between the colostrum and peripheral blood (P<0.05). In addition, there were significant correlations between some minerals in the colostrum, for example potassium vs manganese (r=-0.236, P=0.043), rubidium (r=0.816, P<0.001) and magnesium (r=0.400, P<0.001); sodium vs selenium (r =0.509, P<0.001), cerium (r=0.353, P=0.002), praseodymium (r =0.337, P=0.003) and thulium (r=0.331, P=0.004); calcium vs iron (r=0.251, P=0.031) and strontium (r =0.365, P=0.001); magnesium vs cesium (r=0.314, P=0.006) and copper (r =0.395, P=0.001); zinc vs selenium (r=0.310, P=0.007), cerium (r=-0.229, P=0.050), gadolinium (r=-0.372, P=0.001) and yttrium (r=-0.380, P=0.001); rubidium vs titanium (r=-0.413, P<0.001); copper vs cesium (r=0.275, P=0.018); strontium vs uranium (r=0.439, P<0.001); cadmium vs molybdenum (r=0.379, P =0.001). Conclusion The correlations of the mineral contents between the colostrum and peripheral blood suggested that some mineral elements could be accumulated from blood to breast milk through various transport mechanisms. The correlations between the mineral elements in the colostrum showed that there were some interactions between these elements, indicating that maintaining the dynamic balance of mineral elements in human milk is very important for the health of their offspring.

Objective To observe the effects of standardized pain management on old patients with hip fracture. Methods From January, 2015 to June, 2016, 75 old patients (more than 58 years old) with hip fracture were randomly divided into control group (n=37) and observa-tion group (n=38). The control group accepted routine pain management, while the observation group accepted standardized pain manage-ment. They were assessed with Visual Analogue Score (VAS) of the most intensive pain, and their scores for satisfaction were compared. Re-sults There was no significant difference in VAS between two groups before operation (Z=0.845, P>0.05). The VAS was significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group postoperatively (Z=5.427, P<0.001). The scores of satisfaction was more in the observa-tion group than in the control group (t=21.346, P<0.001). Conclusion Standardized pain management can significantly reduce perioperative pain in old patients after hip fracture surgery, and improve the satisfaction.

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of mitochondrial motility-related gene mirol and mitochondrial energy metabolism during an acute bout of prolonged exercise. Methods CS7 BL/6 mice underwent a moderate intensity treadmill running with the slope of 0° and at the speed of 13m/min, and they were randomly divided into 5 groups:resting group(R),exercise groups running for 30min(E30),60min(E60),90min (E90) and 120min(E120),respectively. Respiratory control index and ATP synthesis activity in isolated mitochondria were detected. Skeletal muscle H_2O_2 concentration,mirol mRNA expressions were also measured. Results (1)mirol mRNA contents were significantly increased in groups E30 to E120,as compared with the group R;and mirol mRNA expression increased 32.8%, 107.6%,63.8% and 44.8% respectively in groups E30 to E120. (2)H_2O_2 contents of skeletal muscle were clearly increased in group s E30 to E120. (3)ATP synthesis activity elevated at 30 min of exercise and returned to the baseline thereafter,whereas respiratory control index without remarkable change in groups E30 to E120. Conclusion Muscular mirol mRNA expression significantly increased during 120min of exercise as compared with the resting status and thus facilitated the mitochondrial respiratory and ATP synthesis for matching the energy demand during exercise.

Objective To evaluate the role of multi-slice CT (MSCT) perfusion in early diagnosis of liver fibrosis. Methods Thirty-three subjects underwent CT perfusion of the liver. Among whom, 11 subjects were volunteers without hepatic disease and the other 22 subjects were pathologically confirmed with liver fibrosis who were further divided into slight (n= 10) and severe (n=12)liver fibrosis according to the lshak system. Parameters of CT perfusion were measured and compared among three groups. Results The mean hepatic arterial fraction in controls, light and severe fibrosis tended to increase with the severity of liver fibrosis[(18. 49 ± 9. 69) %, (19. 92 ± 6.01) % and (21.31±7.47)% ,respectively], and the mean mean transit time tended to decrease with the severity of liver fibrosis [(13.80 ± 2. 60) s, (12.35 ± 1.31) s and (12.19 ± 3.33) s, there was no significant difference in all parameters between any two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions Quantitative measurement of hepatic blood supply can be obtained by CT perfusion. Some parameters will be helpful in staging fibrosis to a certain extent. But its clinical usefulness for the evaluation of the early diagnosis may not be affirmed yet.
