ObjectiveTo explore the effect of Anmeidan on the sleep quality and serum levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor （BDNF）， glial fibrillary acidic protein （GFAP）， and irisin in the patients with chronic insomnia. MethodA multicenter， randomized， double-blind， placebo-controlled clinical study was carried out， including 480 patients with chronic insomnia （deficiency syndrome） in Wuhan （Hubei）， Guangzhou （Guangdong）， and Lanzhou （Gansu）. They were randomized into an observation group and a control group at a ratio of 1∶1. The observation group was orally administered with Anmeidan granules at a dose of 11 g， 3 times per day， and the control group with Anmeidan simulant at a dose of 11 g， 3 times per day， Both groups of patients received sleep education after enrollment. After 4 weeks of medication， the Athens insomnia scale （AIS） scores， Spiegel scale scores， and serum levels of BDNF， GFAP， and irisin were compared between the two groups as well as between before and after treatment. ResultA total of 480 adult patients with chronic insomnia were enrolled in this study， with 64 patients falled off. Finally， the 415 patients were included in the analysis， including 213 patients in the observation group and 202 patients in the control group. There was no difference in age or sex between the two groups of patients. Compared with before treatment， the treatment in both groups decreased the AIS and Spiegel scores （P<0.01）. After treatment， the observation group had lower AIS and Spiegel scores than the control group （P<0.01）. The treatment in the observation group slightly lowered the level of BDNF， elevated the level of irisin （P<0.05）， and lowered the level of GFAP （P<0.05） in the serum. After treatment， the observation group showed higher level of irisin （P<0.05） and lower levels of BDNF and GFAP in the serum than the control group. ConclusionAnmeidan may improve the sleep quality of patients with chronic insomnia by elevating the irisin level and lowering the GFAP level in the serum.

Abstract OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of the polymorphisms of ATM(rs11212617), KCNJ11(rs5219), CYP2C9(rs1799853, rs1057910), TCF7L2(rs12255372, rs290487) and IRS1(rs1801278) on efficacy of metformin and gliclazide combined treatment for diabetes mellitus type 2. METHODS Eighty-one patients with newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus type 2 in Standardized Metabolic Disease Management Center of the Endocrinology Department of of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University Affiliated Jiaxing TCM Hospital were enrolled in this study, and they were treated with metformin hydrochloride tablets and gliclazide modified release tablets. MassARRAY was used to type the above single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP), and followed up for 3 months. Fasting plasma glucose(FPG), glycosylated hemoglobin type Alc(HbA1c) and fasting insulin(FINS) were compared before and after treatment. RESULTS The gene frequencies of all SNPs were compliant to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the samples were well represented. The rs1799853, rs1057910, rs12255372 and rs1801278 had low mutation frequencies with poor clinical significance. The benefits of FPG compliance rate, increase of FINS, decrease of HbAlc after treatment were stronger in patients with homozygous rs5219 C allele than those with T-allele carriers (P<0.05). However, there were no significant differences in treatment effects among the genotypes of rs11212617 and rs290487. CONCLUSION The rs5219 polymorphism of KCNJ11 gene is associated with the efficacy of metformin hydrochloride tablets and gliclazide modified release tablets in treating diabetes mellitus type 2, with a more significant effect observed in individuals homozygous for the C allele. This finding can serve as a reference for personalized medication in clinical treatment of diabetes mellitus type 2.

Objective:To identify the pathogenic gene and inheritance pattern in a pedigree of congenital iris coloboma with congenital cataract.Methods:The method of pedigree investigation was adopted.A pedigree of congenital iris coloboma with congenital cataract was collected by Yunnan Disabled Rehabilitation Center and the 2nd Afliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University in February 2020.Ophthalmic examinations were carried out on the female proband, her parents, her children and her husband, and the clinical diagnosis was made.Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples collected from the family members.The suspected pathogenic gene in the proband and her husband was screened by whole exome sequencing and was identified by bioinformatics analysis.The amino acid conservation was analyzed by UGENE software.The impact of the mutation on protein translation was predicted using MutationTaster software.The pathogenicity of the mutation was assessed according to the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) Standards and Guidelines.Pathogenic gene and mutations were verified by Sanger sequencing.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of the 2nd Afliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University (No.PJ-2020-61).Written informed consent was obtained from each subject or custodian.Results:The proband showed large iris defects in both eyes with only a small amount of observable iris tissue in the periphery, lens cortical opacity and posterior capsule opacification, accompanied by nystagmus.A novel heterozygous frameshift variation c. 415dupA (p.R139fs) was located in exon 8 of PAX6 gene, and the variation was conservative across multiple species.The variation was in the highly conserved region of PAX6 gene and caused the dysfunction of PAX6 protein.The variation was graded as PVS1+ PM2+ PP1, a pathogenic variation, based on ACMG guidelines.The pedigree was consistent with co-segregation, indicating that the novel variation was pathogenic.The proband and her children were diagnosed, but her parents were phenotypically normal, in accordance with autosomal dominant inheritance. Conclusions:The novel frameshift variation c.415dupA (p.R139fs) on the exon 8 of PAX6 gene is responsible for congenital iris coloboma with congenital cataract in the pedigree.This is the first report of this novel variation in PAX6 gene.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI) score for the severity of acute pancreatitis (AP), infectious pancreatic necrosis and patients′ death.Methods:Clinical data of 719 patients with AP were collected from the AP database of the National Clinical Research Center for Digestive System Diseases from January 2016 to June 2018. According to the severity of the disease, they were divided into MAP group (506 cases), MSAP group (112 cases) and SAP group (101 cases). AGI, APACHEⅡ, MCTSI and BISAP scores were calcululated in the three groups. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was drawn and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated. The predictive value of the above four scoring systems for the hospitalization days, disease severity, infectious pancreatic necrosis and death was analyzed, respectively.Results:There were no cases of infectious pancreatic necrosis or death in the MAP group, but there were 9 cases of infectious pancreatic necrosis and 2 deaths in the MSAP group and 19 cases of infectious pancreatic necrosis and 8 deaths in the SAP group. There was a strong correlation between AGI score and AP patients′ hospitalization days ( r=0.619). AUC of AGI, APACHEⅡ, MCTSI and BISAP score in predicting the AP patients′ severity (MSAP+ SAP) was 0.967 (95% CI 0.951-0.982), 0.769(95% CI 0.720-0.899), 0.842(95% CI 0.809-0.875), 0.862 (95% CI0.832-0.893). AUC for forecasting infectious pancreatic necrosis was 0.803, 0.677, 0.692, 0.724, and the 95% CI was 0.724-0.882, 0.573-0.781, 0.582-0.636, 0.801-0.812. AUC for predicting death in patients with AP were 0.915, 0.597, 0.659, 0.812, and the 95% CI were 0.843-0.986, 0.444-0.751, 0.498-0.698 and 0.882-0.926. AGI score had the highest predictive value, followed by BISAP score, and the correlation between these two scores was the closest. The predictive value of AGI combined with BISAP score for infectious pancreatic necrosis and patient death (AUC were 0.837, 0.942, 95% CI were 0.770-0.903, 0.897-0.987) was better than that of AGI and BISAP score alone. Conclusions:AGI score combined with BISAP score is more effective in predicting the severity of AP, the occurrence of infectious pancreatic necrosis or patient death.

Objective    To evaluate the clinical outcomes of  pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) in patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) after re-PVR surgery. Methods    PubMed, EMbase, the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register databases, CNKI, CBM disc and VIP datebases were searched, and study eligibility and data abstraction were determined independently and in duplicate. Literature searches from database establishment to December 2018. The heterogeneity and data were analyzed by the software of Stata 11.0. Results    Of 4 831 studies identified, 26 studies met eligibility criteria, and invovled with a total of 3 613 patients. The combined 30-day mortality for PVR was 2.2% (95% CI 1.5%-3.1%) and follow-up mortality was 3.4% (95% CI 2.4%-4.9%), re-PVR rate was 6.8% (95% CI 5.1%-9.2%), and the rate of intervention was 11.4% (95% CI 8.0%-16.4%). Subgroup analysis showed that the patient's age range may be a heterogeneous source of mortality during the follow-up period, and there was no statistical heterogeneity for adult patients (P=0.63, I2=0%), with a lower incidence than those including adolescents patients. The type of valve was likely to be a source of retrospective PVR. There was no statistical heterogeneity in bioprosthetic valves and allograft lobes (P=0.24, I2=25%). And the incidence of re-PVR was lower than that of the mechanical valve patients. Heart function classification (NYHA) of patients with TOF after PVR was statistically improved (P<0.05). Electrocardiogram QRS change was not statistically differently (P>0.05). Postoperative MRI findings showed a decrease in RVEDV, an increase in RVEF, a decrease in RV/LV ratio, and a decrease in pulmonary valve (all P<0.05). Funnel map monitoring, Begg test and Egger's test both indicated that there was no publication bias. Conclusions    According to the results of the analysis, PVR after TOF surgery is a more mature surgery, the clinical effect was significant, with lower early and long-term mortality. The long-term mortality rate of adolescent patients undergoing PVR is higher than that of adult patients. Long-term outocme of re-PVR or re-intervention is still the main problem affecting the effect of the operation. Indications for surgery and choice of valve need further investigation.

Objective: To explore the predictive value of acute gastrointestinal injury(AGI) grading system in assessing the severity, infectious pancreatic necrosis and death of patients with moderate severe acute pancreatitis (MSAP) and severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods: The clinical data of 344 patients with MSAP or SAP admitted in Changhai Hospital Affiliated to Navy Medical University from June 2011 to June 2015 were collected. ROC curve was used and the area under ROC curve (AUC) was calculated. The predictive value of AGI grade for the severity, infectous pancreatic necrosis and death was compared with those of different clinical scores(APACHEⅡ score, MCTSI and Marshal score). Results: Of 344 patients, 81 patients were classified into high AGI grade group (Grade Ⅲ, Ⅳ), while 263 patients were in low AGI grade group(Grade Ⅰ, Ⅱ). The mortality and the number of patients with organ failure were obviously higher in high AGI grade group than those in low AGI grade group (25/81 vs 0/263, 36/45 vs 32/231), and the difference was statistically significant (all PCI 0.916-0.972) and0.779(95% CI 0.723-0.836), respectively, which was higher than those of APACHEⅡ and Marshall score. Conclusions AGI grading system can be applied to better assess the severity of acute pancreatitis, and its predictive value for death and infectious pancreatic necrosis was higher than that of APACHEⅡ, MCTSI and Marshall score.

Objective:To observe laxative function of Shutong digestion powder in mice with constipation by experimental means to provide reference for clinical research. Methods:ICR mice were used as the research objects,and the mice model of constipation was induced by oral administration of loperamide hydrochloride. Totally 120 ICR mice were divided into two groups(experimental group 1 and experimental group 2) with 60 in each,and each group was divided into 6 subgroups by random number:the normal control group, the model control group,the positive control group(mosapride citrate tablets,2.25×10 -3g·kg-1),Shutong digestion powder group respectively at low(1 g·kg-1),medium(3 g·kg-1) and high dose(9 g·kg-1) with 10 ones in each. Drugs were given by intra-gastric administration,once a day,for 7 days. In the first experiment group,mice were subjected to defecation test,and the stool traits and the time of first defecation in each group were observed and recorded. In the experimental group 2,small intestine motility test was conducted to observe and record the ink advancing rate in intestine. Results:Compared with the model control group,there was no sig-nificant difference in the body weight of mice in each Shutong digestion powder group(P>0.05),and the time for the first row of me-lena significantly decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01). The rate of small intestine propulsion increased except for Shutong digestion pow-der group at low dose,and the other groups had significant differences (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the positive control group,there was no significant difference in the body weight and the first defecation time between Shutong digestion powder groups and the control group (P>0.05). The ink advancing rates of Shutong digestion powder groups were lower than that of the positive control group (P<0.05 or P <0.01). Conclusion:Shutong digestion powder has good promotion function for defecation and intestinal peri-stalsis.

Objective     To evaluate the safety and efficacy of skeletonized and pedicled harvesting of bilateral internal mammary artery (BIMA) in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Methods     From December 2015 to May 2017, 152 patients (128 males, 24 females, age of 56.5±6.8 years) underwent CABG using either skeletonized BIMA (s-BIMA group, n=73) or pedicled BIMA(p-BIMA group, n=79). The operative data and post-operative outcomes were analyzed in the s-BIMA group (61 males, 12 females, age of 56.6±7.0 years) and the p-BIMA group (67 males, 12 females, age of 56.3±6.7 years). Results     There was no peri-operative mortality. There was no statistical difference in operative time, cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic cross-clamp time or internal mammary artery graft flow between the two groups. One patient(1.4%) in the s-BIMA group suffered from severe sternal wound complication, which was major sternal wound complication. Five patients (6.3%) in the p-BIMA group suffered from sternal wound complications, including 1(1.3%) with severe complication and 4(5.1%) with minor complication. One(1.4%) patient in the s-BIMA group and 7 (8.9%) patients in the p-BIMA group suffered from chylothorax. The chest tube drainage significantly reduced in the s-BIMA group, both in postoperative day 1(P=0.000) and postoperative day 1-3 (P=0.001). CT angiography showed no stenosis of BIMA in both groups. Conclusion     The use of skeletonized BIMA for CABG is safe and efficacious, with less sternal wound complications, chylothorax and chest tube drainage. Skeletonization should be   suggested if BIMA is harvested in CABG.

Objective To investigate the unmet needs of thyroid cancer patients undergoing 131Itreatment and their relationship with psychological distress and quality of life.Methods From October 2014 to March 2016,a total of 338 patients (106 males,232 females,average age (35.50±9.98) years) with thyroid cancer who were receiving 131I treatment were enrolled.The 34 items of Supportive Care Needs Survey Short Form (SNCS-SF34) were used to investigate the unmet care needs of patients.Patients' perceptions of distress and main causes of distress were measured by Distress Thermometers (DT) and issue list.The 12-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12) was used to measure patients' quality of life.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the data.Results The degrees of patients' unmet care needs from high to low were as following:health information needs (65.38％,221/338),psychological needs (47.93％,162/338),patients' care and support needs (44.08％,149/338),physical and daily needs (36.09％,122/338) and sexual needs (34.32％,116/338).There were 47.93％(162/388) patients with DT score ＞ 4.The top three causes of patients' distress were fears,fatigue and memory deterioration.Degree of unmet needs for patients had positive correlation with the degree of psychological distress (r values:0.232-0.462,all P＜0.01).The unmet physiological and daily needs and psychological needs of patients had negative correlations with several dimensions of quality of life (r values:from-0.367 to-0.202,all P＜ 0.05).Conclusions The unmet care needs of patients with thyroid cancer have correlations with their psychological distress and quality of life.Evaluation of the unmet care needs of patients with thyroid cancer could be beneficial for providing the targeted care.
