Objective :
To explore the method of using high-fat diet combined with angiotensin-Ⅱ ( Ang-Ⅱ) and β-aminopropionitrile (BAPN) to establish the model of aortic dissection in mice.
Methods :
24 C57BL /6J mice (4 weeks old,male) were randomly divided into control group[intraperitoneal injection of 0.9% sodium chloride solu- tion 10 ml / (kg · d) ]and experimental groups[Ang-Ⅱ 4 mg / ( kg · d) group,Ang-Ⅱ 4 mg / ( kg · d) + BAPN 0. 33 g / (kg · d) group],each group with 8 mice ; all mice were given a high-fat diet and the mice weights were measured at the same time point and administered according to the weight standard.The dead mice were dissected immediately and the aorta was taken out for pathological section,then observed under the microscope.The morphology of aorta was detected by small animal ultrasound and the mice with obvious dissection were killed and dissected directly.
Results :
After administration,the activity and appetite of mice in the high-fat diet combined with Ang-Ⅱ + BAPN group decreased most significantly,and the mortality rate of aortic dissection rupture and the success rate of modeling in this group were higher than those in the high-fat diet combined with Ang-Ⅱ group,while there was no significant change in the control group.Under the ultrasound of small animals,compared with the other two groups,the mice in the high-fat diet combined with Ang-Ⅱ + BAPN group showed the formation of abdominal aortic vascular false lumen and vascular enlargement.The mice that died during the administration were dissected immediately,and a large number of blood clots in the abdominal cavity and around the blood vessels could be seen.The mice with aortic dissection or aortic aneurysm could be seen under ultrasound in small animals,and severe adhesion between the vascular wall and the surrounding tissues could be found when dissected,while no obvious abnormalities were found in the blood vessels of the control group.The results of the staining showed that the false lumen of blood vessel wall was formed and the arrangement of elastin and collagen was disordered in the mice of high fat diet com- bined with Ang-Ⅱ + BAPN group.The thickness of blood vessel wall in each group was statistically analyzed,and it was found that the blood vessels in the two experimental groups were thicker than those in the control group,which was statistically significant (P<0. 001) .The vascular wall of Ang-Ⅱ + BAPN + high-fat diet group showed severe elastin degradation.
Conclusion
High-fat diet combined with Ang-Ⅱ 4 mg / (kg · d) and BAPN 0. 33 g / (kg · d) can establish an efficient model of aortic dissection in mice.

Objective:To improve the prognosis stratification, especially early mortality(EM), of elderly patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma(NDMM).Methods:In this retrospective study, univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis were conducted to identify the independent prognostic factors associated with overall survival(OS)and the chi-square test and multivariate Logistic analysis were used to identify the prognostic factors associated with EM in 223 elderly patients(age≥65 years)with NDMM from three centers in the country.Results:Increased NT-pro-BNP(≥300 pg/ml), ECOG-PS≥2 and stage Ⅲ R-ISS were identified as three independent adverse prognostic factors of OS.The rates of EM3, EM6, EM12 and EM24 were 12.1%, 20.1%, 32.2% and 60%, respectively.The most common cause for EM6(particularly EM3)was disease-related complications resulting from ineligibility for treatment due to poor physical performance, severe organ dysfunction or treatment discontinuation due to treatment intolerance, while the most common cause for EM12(particularly EM24)was disease progression or relapse mainly as a result of inadequate treatment.R-ISS staging failed to predict EM, while decreased eGFR, ECOG-PS≥2, and increased NT-pro-BNP were able to estimate the risk of EM, with increased NT-pro-BNP as a common independent factor for EM12( P=0.03)and EM24( P=0.015). Conclusions:R-ISS staging, which primarily reflects MM biology, cannot predict EM.However, factors such as NT-pro-BNP, eGFR and ECOG-PS associated with frailty and impairment of organ functions can be used to estimate the risk of EM, among which NT-pro-BNP may be the most important independent factor for EM.Therefore, incorporation of these frailty-related biomarkers into R-ISS staging may be able to more precisely estimate the prognosis and particularly early death of elderly patients with NDMM.

Objective:This study aims to investigate the prevalence and distribution characteristics of mental disorders among people aged 18 and above in Shandong Province.Methods:In 2015, an epidemiological survey was carried out to investigate the patterns of mental disorders in 49 counties of Shandong Province. A total of 28 000 individuals aged 18 years or older were selected using the multistage stratified cluster sampling method. All these participants were classified as at a high or low risk of mental disorders according to the assessment results of the revised version of the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ). The diagnosis of mental disorders was confirmed using the Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Forth edition (DSM-Ⅳ) axis I or MMSE. All participants at high risk of mental disorders were evaluated using DSM-Ⅳ or MMSE to confirm the psychiatric diagnoses, while 10% of participants at low risk of mental disorders were randomly selected to be evaluated. The prevalence and its 95% confidence interval of mental disorders were adjusted according to study design and sociodemographic characteristics of the sample. The between-group differences of prevalence were compared using chi-square tests or Fisher′s exact tests as appropriately.Results:A total of 27 489 individuals completed survey. The adjusted prevalence of any mental disorder was 17.46% (95 %CI 17.02%-17.89%). The five most prevalent mental disorder spectrums were substance use disorders (5.29%), mood disorders (4.47%), anxiety disorders (4.46%), intellectual and mental disorders due to physical or substance (1.91%), and psychotic disorders (1.12%). The most common mental disorders were alcohol use disorder (5.27%) and major depressive disorder (2.14%). The prevalence of mental disorders in men was higher than that in women (23.37% vs. 13.89%; χ 2=408.91, P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the prevalence of mental disorders between rural residents and urban residents (17.69% vs. 17.20%; χ2=1.05, P=0.305). Of participants with mental disorders, 26.12% (1 047/4 008) had moderate to severe functional impairment and 10.98% (428/3 898) have sought professional help. Conclusion:The prevalence of mental disorders among people aged 18 and above in Shandong Province is basically consistent with the results of similar domestic studies. The prevalence of mental disorder was higher in men than in women and was not differ in participants living in urban and rural areas. Alcohol use disorder, major depressive disorder, non-specific anxiety disorder and non-specific depressive disorder are most common mental disorders.

Our primary health care institution began to implement national essential medicine system in 2009. In past fi ve years, the goal of national essential medicine system has been initially achieved. For examples, medicine price is steadily reducing, the quality of medical services is improving and residents' satisfaction is substantial increasing every year. However, at the same time, we also found some urgent problems needed to be solved. For examples, the range of national essential medicine is limited, which is difficult to guarantee the quality of essential medication. In addition, how to compensate the primary health care institution is still a question.

OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the effect of nutrition and food safety education among middle school students in a poverty-stricken county in west China, and to explore the better education model for further education.
METHODS:
Students of grade 7 to 9 were selected from 4 middle schools in the country through multi-stage cluster sampling for the questionnaire, and the schools were assigned into an intervention group or a control group. After students in the intervention schools completed one year nutrition and food safety education with the textbooks, students were chosen from the same 4 schools to finish the same questionnaire again.
RESULTS:
A total of 410 students from grade 7 to 9 were selected at the baseline study, and 474 students in the final study. The essential characteristics of the 2 groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05). In the baseline investigation, the differences in the scores on nutrition and food safety knowledge, attitude and practice between the 2 groups were not significant (P>0.05). In the final study, the scores on the knowledge, attitude of nutrition knowledge learning, and dietary habits among students in the intervention group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). School-students mixed model demonstrated that the intervention was protective factor on scores of knowledge, in particular with nutrition related diseases and reasonable diet (P<0.05). But the intervention didn't affect the scores on attitude in both ways (P>0.05).
CONCLUSION
Nutrition and food safety education can improve the nutrition and food safety knowledge effectively. The curriculum should be further standardized and different emphases should be set up to different grades to cultivate healthy diet behaviors.
