Objective To investigate the effect of prostaglandin family(PGs)on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD).Methods HepG2 cells,a human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line,were used as the research subject.The experiment was set up as a control group(Ctrl),fatty change group(FFA),prostaglandin B2(PGB2,10 μg/mL)treatment group,15-keto-prostaglandin E2(15-keto-PGE2,10 μg/mL)treatment group,and 8-iso-prostaglandin F2a(8-iso-PGF2α,10 μg/mL)treatment group.Cell activity was determined by the thiazolyl blue(MTT)assay and lipid deposition was detected by the oil red O staining.The expression levels of inflammatory factors and phosphorylated insulin receptor substrates(p-IRS)were determined by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR)and Western blot,respectively.In addition,15 SPF-grade male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into a basic group(CD group,n=5,fed with 10％low-fat forage for 16 weeks),high-fat group(HFD group,n=5,fed with 60％high-fat forage for 16 weeks to model NAFLD),and PGB2 group(n=5,given 20 μg/kg PGB2 daily by tail vein injection for 2 weeks after 16 weeks of 60％high-fat diet feeding).The glucose tolerance level of the mice was detected by the intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test(IPGTT)and the degree of hepatic steatosis was determined by HE staining.Results Oil red O staining showed that PGs had no sig-nificant effect on the lipid deposition of NAFLD,but PGs were able to alleviate the inflammation associated with NAFLD.qRT-PCR re-sults showed that compared with the Ctrl group,the levels of IL-1β in the FFA group increased by 2.274±0.550 times(P=0.002 8),while under the action of 50 μg/mL PGB2,10 μg/mL 15-keto-PGE2 and 10 μg/mL 8-iso-PGF2α,the levels of IL-1β decreased to 0.720±0.036 times(P=0.003 1),0.857±0.225 times(P=0.006 4),and 1.767±0.725 times(P=0.029 7),respectively.Western blot results showed that after PGs treatment,the expression level of p-IRS protein was increased.The body weights of mice in the CD group,HFD group and PGB2 group were(28.560±2.028)g,(49.300±0.667)g,and(40.840±4.043)g,respectively,with statisti-cally significant differences between the groups(P=0.001 7).Moreover,the glucose tolerance results in the PGB2 group were better than those in the HFD group.HE staining results showed compared with the HFD group,the degree of hepatic steatosis in the PGB2 group was reduced.Conclusion PGB2,15-keto-PGE2,and 8-iso-PGF2α in the prostaglandin family can alleviate the occurrence and development of NAFLD by alleviating IL-1β-mediated inflammation,upregulating the expression of p-IRS,promoting the transmission of insulin signaling,and attenuating insulin resistance.

Objective:To investigate the application effect of Press-Z-track-Turn (PZT) intramuscular injection on the extravasation, local reaction, local pain after injection and patient satisfaction after Fulvestrant injection.Methods:Used a self-controlled study, 63 patients who underwent bilateral intramuscular injection of Fluvastatin in the outpatient injection room of Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital from August to October 2022 were conveniently selected. The observation time was two treatment cycles after inclusion in this study. Before the injection of the first treatment cycle, a coin toss was used to randomly decide to use traditional intramuscular injection and PZT intramuscular injection method for injection and record. After 28 days, another injection method was used, with a total of 126 injections per injection method. Observed the extravasation of drug solution and local reactions at the injection site within 7 days after injection using two injection methods, as well as the pain and satisfaction of patients within 7 days after injection.Results:The extravasation rate of drug solution for the PZT intramuscular injection was 1.59% (2/126), which was lower than 7.14% (9/126) for the traditional intramuscular injection, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=4.66, P<0.05); the incidence of mild and moderate local reactions for the PZT intramuscular injection was 3.97% (5/126) and 1.59% (2/126), respectively, lower than that for the traditional intramuscular injection 11.11% (14/126) and 5.56% (7/126), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=8.26, P<0.05); the pain score of the PZT intramuscular injection was (2.08 ± 0.85) points, lower than that of the traditional intramuscular injection (5.03 ± 1.06) points, and the satisfaction score of the PZT intramuscular injection was (23.68 ± 1.64) points, higher than that of the traditional intramuscular injection (20.10 ± 2.58) points. The difference was statistically significant ( t=-17.24, 9.16, both P<0.01). Conclusions:PZT intramuscular injection can effectively reduce the overflow rate, the incidence of grade 1 and 2 local reactions and the degree of pain of patients, and improve patient satisfaction, which is worthy of clinical application.

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.

OBJECTIVE：  To improve the method for the content determination of astragaloside Ⅳ in Xiangju granules， and to evaluate the consistency of relevant preparations with the components of original formulation， so as to provide evidence for the modern preparation of TCM compound. METHODS： HPLC-ELSD method was established for the content determination of astragaloside Ⅳ in Xiangju granules， and compared with original standard TLC scanning. Using critrinin， ferulic acid， calycosin glucoside， liquiritin， glycyrrhizic acid， rosmarinic acid， buddleoside and magnoline as control， HPLC method was used to determine the release components of self-made Xiangju granules， Xiangju capsules， Xiangju tablets in water. Fingerprint characteristics chromatogram of different Xiangju preparations and original formulation extract were compared by using Similarity Evaluation System for Chromatographic Fingerprint of TCM （2012 version）. At the same time， HPLC-ELSD method was used to determine and compare the release rate of astragaloside Ⅳ from different Xiangju preparations and original formulation extract in water. RESULTS： Established HPLC-ELSD method was specific. The linear range of astragaloside Ⅳ was 0.13-2.10 mg/mL. RSDs of precision， repeatability and stability tests were all lower than 3％ （n＝6）， and average recovery was 97.66％ （RSD＝1.01％，n＝6）. Average content of astragaloside Ⅳ by this method was 0.398 mg/g （RSD＝1.01％， n＝3）， which had better reproducibility than TLC scanning. The comparative results of characteristic fingerprints showed that the similarity among Xiangju granules， Xiangju capsules， Xiangju tablets and the original formulation dry extract powder was more than 0.850. Average release rates of astragaloside Ⅳ in Xiangju granules， Xiangju capsules， Xiangju tablets and the original formulation extract were 0.392， 0.358， 0.349， 0.389 mg， respectively. Compared with original formulation extract， there was no statistical significance in release rate of astragaloside Ⅳ in Xiangju granules （P＞0.05）， while there was statistical significance in Xiangju capsules and Xiangju tablets （P＜0.01）. CONCLU- SIONS： Established HPLC-ELSD method is accurate and feasible， and is suitable for the content determination of astragaloside Ⅳ in Xiangju granules. The main components of Xiangju granules are consistent with original formulation.

Objective To study the effect of sitagliptin on insulin resistance and glucose variability in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) requiring high-dose insulin therapy.Methods A total of 100 elderly patients with T2DM failing to reach the standard application of large-dose insulin(＞60 U/d) treatment for three months or more [glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) ＞8.0％] was randomly divided into sitagliptin group and pioglitazone group.Patients in sitagliptin group(50 cases) were treated with sitagliptin for oral use,100 mg each time,once a day,and patients in pioglitazone group(50 cases) were treated with pioglitazone for oral use,15 mg each time,once a day.The insulin dose was adjusted according to the blood glucose level in the two groups.Two groups were treated for 12 weeks.The indicators in both groups were compared,including fasting blood glucose (FBG),2 hours postprandial glucose (2hPG),glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c),24 hours glucose area under the curve (AUC),blood glucose coefficient of variation (CV),fasting C-peptide (FCP),2 hours postprandial C-peptide (2hPCP),fasting glucagon (FGG),2 hours postprandial glucagon(2 hFGG),cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG),systolic blood pressure (SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP),blood uric acid(BUA),daily insulin dosage(DID),body mass index(BMI),incidence of hypoglycemia and drug adverse reactions.Results After 12 weeks of treatment,the levels of FPG,2hPG,HbA1c,AUC,CV,FGG,2hFGG,TC,TG,SBP,DBP,DID and BMI in the sitagliptin group were significantly decreased than those before treatment(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01);The levels of FPG,2hPG,H bA1c,AUC,CV and BUA in the pioglitazone group were significantly decreased than those before treatment (P＜ 0.0 5 or P＜ 0.01);Compared with the pioglitazone group,the levels of 2 hPG,HbA1c,AUC,CV,FGG,2 hFGG,TC,TG,SBP,DBP,DID and BMI were significantly decreased in the sitagliptin group(all P＜0.05),and the levels of FCP and 2hPCP in the sitagliptin group were higher than those in the pioglitazone group(all P＜0.01).The incidence of hypoglycemia in the sitagliptin group was lower than that in the pioglitazone group(x2 =4.039,P =0.045).The incidence of adverse reactions in the sitagliptin group was lower than that in the pioglitazone grouP(x2 =3.979,P=0.043).Conclusion Sitagliptin combined with insulin is better than insulin combined with pioglitazone in elderly patients with T2DM requiring the application of high-dose insulin therapy,and the combining treatment could decrease insulin resistance,insulin dosage and the incidence of hypoglycemia.

The neonatal resuscitation program consisted of three stages:pilot promotion, provinces promotion and grass-roots promotion in China. Neonatal resuscitation was easy to learn, training forms were various, the duration was different. There were regional differences in the pass rate of examination and standard recovery rate. The neonatal resuscitation training rate, the system execution rate and the equipment rate in primary hospitals was lower than secondary hospitals and tertiary hospitals. The primary hospitals would be the key link of the neonatal resuscitation program. We suggested to build neonatal resuscitation training and treatment system.
