Objective: To analyze the relationship between family behaviors and overweight/obesity in primary and junior school students aged 6-14 years in Xuzhou, and to provide a reference for a targeted measure to prevent and control overweight and obesity. Methods: Using multistage stratified cluster random sampling, a total of 6 220 students aged 6-14 years old from 10 primary schools and 10 junior schools were investigated by a self-designed questionnaire. Chi-square and multivariate Logistic regression models were used to explore the relationship between family behaviors and overweight/obesity in primary and junior school students. Results: The rate of overweight/obesity in primary and junior boys was higher than that in primary and junior girls. The rate of overweight/obesity in urban students was higher than that of rural students(P<0.05). The Chi-square analysis showed that overweight of parents, irregular breakfast, eating fast food, eating sweets, drinking sweetened beverage, long screen time and short sleep duration were risk family behavior factors of overweight/obesity in primary and junior boy students(P<0.05). The risk family behavior factors of overweight/obesity in primary and junior girl students were overweight of parents, irregular breakfast, eating fast food and eating sweets(P<0.05). The risk family behavior factors of overweight/obesity, such as drinking sweetened beverage and short sleep duration, were also related to primary girls(P<0.05), and long screen time was related to junior girls(P<0.05). The multivariate Logistic regression showed that such family behavior factors as irregular breakfast(OR-boy=1.58, OR-girl=1.74), eating fast food(OR-boy=1.37, OR-girl=1.11), eating sweets(OR-boy=1.85, OR-girl=1.52), drinking sweetened beverage(OR-boy=1.64, OR-girl=1.33) and short sleep duration(OR-boy=1.56, OR-girl=1.69) were positively correlated with the prevalence of overweight/obesity in primary students. Long screen time was also correlated to overweight/obesity primary boy students(OR=1.18). Family behavior factors for child overweight and obesity induded overweight of parents(OR-boy=1.29, OR-girl=1.23) and eating sweets(OR-boy=1.44, OR-girl=1.51). Irregular breakfast(OR=1.51), eating fast food(OR=1.22), drinking sweetened beverage (OR=1.75) and long visual screen time (OR=1.15) were also positively correlated with the prevalence of overweight/obesity in junior boy students. Conclusion Family behavior factors were positively correlated with the prevalence of overweight/obesity in primary and junior students. The influence of family behavior factors were different between primary and junior students. Behavioral interventions based on family should be adopted to prevent and control the overweight/obesity of children.

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of different noninvasive methods for the diagnosis of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH) and hepatic fibrosis in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) combined with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM). Method A prospective comparative study was performed for 91 patients with T2DM and NAFLD, which were diagnosed by glucose tolerance test and liver biopsy. The height and body mass of the patient were measured, and the body mass index(BMI) was calculated. The fasting venous blood of the patient was collected, and then the blood routine, liver function and ferritin were measured. NPS, neutrophil lymphocyte ratio(NLR), BARD score, FIB-4 index, APRI, and NAFLD fibrosis score(NFS) were calculated. All patients underwent transient elastography (Fibrotouch) to evaluate the degree of liver stiffness measurement (LSM) and controlled attenuation parameter. All the liver biopsy specimens were categorized by SAF as the gold standard for evaluating NASH and liver fibrosis NASH. Correlation analysis was applied to compare the correlation between the noninvasive methods and SAF. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the area under the curve (AUC) were used to assess the diagnostic value of the noninvasive methods for NASH and liver fibrosis NASH. Results In T2DM combine with NAFLD patients, NPS, LSM, NFS, APRI, FIB4 and BMI scores were positively correlated with SAF (r value was 0.509, 0.508, 0.252, 0.396, 0.313 and 0.213, respectively; P value was <0.001, <0.001, 0.016,<0.001, 0.003 and 0.043, respectively). LSM, NPS, NFS and FIB4 scores were positively correlated with liver fibrosis (r value was 0.535, 0.337, 0.315 and 0.315, respectively; P value was <0.001, 0.001, 0.002, 0.002, respectively). The ROC curve shows that the area under the curve of NPS, LSM, APRI, FIB4 and BMI for diagnosing NASH was 0.838, 0.760, 0.734, 0.623 and 0.682, respectively, and P value was 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.044 and 0.003, respectively. For the diagnosis of fibrotic NASH, that value of LSM, NFS, FIB4 and NPS was 0.795, 0.765, 0.686 and 0.623, respectively, and P value was 0.000, 0.001, 0.020 and 0.123, respectively. Conclusions NPS, LSM and APRI have good clinical diagnostic value for NASH. LSM and NFS have good diagnostic value for fibrotic NASH.

Objective To analyze the relationship between sleep duration, screen viewing time, and the prevalence of overweight/obesity among primary school students in Xuzhou. Methods Using a cluster sampling method, a total of 3 228 students (including 1 679 boys and 1 549 girls with an average age of 10.78±0.69 years) from grade one to six from 10 primary schools in Xuzhou underwent interview using a self?designed questionnaire containing basic characteristics, sleep duration, and screen viewing time. Data on height and weight were also collected. The relationship between sleep duration, screen viewing time, and overweight/obesity was analyzed using a logistic regression analysis. Results The prevalence rates of overweight among boys and girls were 16.56% and 11.94%, respectively (χ2=13.59, P<0.05). The prevalence rates of obesity among boys and girls were 14.47% and 10.07%, respectively (χ2=14.01, P<0.05). In total, 74.41% students reported a lack of sleep; the average sleeping time was (9.24±1.07) h. The average sleeping time among boys was (9.35 ± 1.12) h and among girls was (9.13 ± 1.03) h. The difference in sleep duration between boys and girls was significant (t=5.79, P<0.05). The differences in sleep duration and overweight/obesity were significant between both boys (χ2=18.62, P<0.05) and girls (χ2=21.14, P<0.05). Regarding screen viewing time, 17.29% of students spent more than 2 hours per day viewing a screen. The difference in screen viewing time between boys and girls was significant (Z=3.02, P=0.014). The proportion of children with screen viewing time of more than 2 h/d among overweight/obese and healthy weight male students was 29.50% (82/278) and 22.56% (316/1401), respectively, which was significantly different (χ2=6.18, P=0.01). However, there was no significant difference when examining the same groups among girls (12.98% (24/185;obese/overweight) vs . 9.97% (136/1364; healthy weight); χ2=1.59, P=0.21). After adjusting for parental obesity, eating sweets, and physical activity, logistic regression analysis showed that students who had a sleep duration less than 10 h/d had an odds ratio of 1.4 (95% CI: 1.15-1.71), the odds ratio for boys and girls was 1.56 (95% CI: 1.13-2.14) and 1.69 (95% CI: 1.15-2.46). The students who had a screen viewing time of more than 2 h/d had an odds ratio of 1.14 (95% CI: 1.05-1.80); the odds ratio for boys in this group was 1.18 (95% CI: 1.03-1.67). Conclusion Short sleep duration is a risk factor for being overweight/obese in both boys and girls. However, long screen viewing times were associated with being overweight/obese only in boys.

Background Fungal keratitis is a common ocular surface disease and the treatment is dissatisfactory because of short of high efficiency,low toxicity and broad-spectrum medication.Penetrating keratoplasty is an effective therapy,but its clinical applications is limited due to lack of corneal donor.To seek a low-cost and effective management is of an important significance.Objective This clinical trial was to compare the clinical effectiveness between corneal ulcer debridement combined with amniotic membrane cover+drugs therapy and corneal ulcer debridement of combined drugs therapy for fungal keratitis.Methods A prospective cases-controlled study was designed.A total 210 eyes of 210 patients with fungal keratitis were included from January 2001 to January 2013 in Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University.The patients were randomly divided into observation group (109 eyes) and control group (101 eyes).The combination therapy of corneal ulcer debridement with amniotic membrane cover and drugs was administered in the observational group,and only lesion debridement and drugs therapy was performed on the control group.The curative effect,postoperative visual acuity and therapeutic course were compared between the two groups.Results The effective rates for fungal keratitis were 100.00％,90.41％,77.78％ in the mild,moderate and severe patients,respectively,and those of the control group were 52.38％,80.00％,25.00％ respectively,showing significant differences between them (U =2.211,2.214,2.356,all at P＜0.05).The total effective rate was significantly higher in the observational group than that in the control group (91.09％ versus 75.23％),with a significant difference between them (U=3.040,P=0.002).Postoperative visual acuity was better in the observational group than that in the control group (0.44 ± 0.04 versus 0.22 ± 0.03),with a significant difference between them (t =2.225,P ＜ 0.05).The mean therapeutic course was (22.4 ± 1.8) days in the observational group,which is shorter than (33.2±2.4) days in the control group,with a significant difference between them (t =2.097,P＜0.05).Conclusions Combination therapy of lesion debridement with amniotic membrane coverage and drugs can shorten treating duration and improve vision,and it is superior to only lesion debridement and drugs therapy.

Background Studies have determined that nucleotide binding oligomerization domain 2 (NOD2) plays a key role in innate immune response.However,whether NOD2 participates in the nature defense of fungal keratitis is unclear.Objective This study was to investigate the expression and significance of NOD2 on cornea in the initial of Aspergillus fumigatus keratitis (AFK) in rats.Methods Seventy-two adult clean Wistar rats were randomized into the normal control group,only corneal epithelial scraped group and AFK model group,and the AFK models were established by incubating Aspergillus fumigatus to cornea after corneal epithelium was scraped.All the operations were performed in the right eyes of rats.Reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) was carried out to detect the expression of NOD2 mRNA in corneal epithelium 4,8,16,24 hours after operation.Twenty-four hours after operation,the expression of NOD2 protein in rat corneas was examined by immunochemistry and immnunofluorescence technology.Also,the rat corneas were obtained for regular histopathological examination.The use and care of the animals complied with Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee Guidebook by NIH.Results All the models were made successfully.RT-PCR revealed that a fewer NOD2 mRNA were expressed on cornea in the normal control group,but the expressing levels of NOD2 mRNA were increased in the only corneal epithelial scraped group and AFK model group.Compared with only corneal epithelial scraped group,the elevated values of NOD2 mRNA expression in the AFK model group were statistically significant at 4,8,16 and 24 hours after operation (t =-0.409,-0.439,-0.534,-0.618,all at P=0.000).The histopathological examination displayed that the cornel tissue had intact structure in the normal control group,and partly corneal epithelial deficiency,slight corneal swelling and fewer neutrophil granulocytes were seen in the only corneal epithelial scraped group.However,corneal ulcer,severe corneal edema and a lot of neutrophil granulocytes were exhibited in the AFK model group.Immunochemistry and immnunofluorescence staining evidenced that weaker expression of NOD2 was visualized in the corneal epithelial and endothelial layers,and obviously enhanced staining was seen in the AFK model group.The expressing levels (absorbancy) were 0.045 ± 0.005,0.050 ± 0.005 and 0.092 ± 0.006 in the normal control group,only corneal epithelial scraped group and AFK model group,respectively,showing a significant increase in the AFK model group compared with the only corneal epithelial scraped group (t =0.042,P =0.000).Conclusions Expression of NOD2 is upregulated in the corneas with AFK,suggesting that NOD2 participates the natural defense in the initial of fungal keratitis.NOD2 may play an important role in the process of anti-fungal innate immune response in cornea.

Objective To construct subsystem of picture archiving and communicating system (PACS) based on video database of ophthalmology and to evaluate on effectiveness of applying PACS system in postgraduate teaching.Methods PACS subsystem were constructed by collecting audiovisual materials of ophthalmology surgery videos,retinal photography,B-ultrasonography,OCT,UBM of patients.A total of 24 postgraduates were divided into control group (n =12) and experimental group (n=12) by random number table.Students in control group was taught by traditional cases,books and literature while those in experimental by network teaching from PACS subsystem.Two teaching methods were assessed subjectively and objectively.Objective indicators including ophthalmology examination results,operational skill ratings and paper reviewing results as well as subjective indicators including efficiency to accept the knowledge,satisfaction degree of teaching,influencing degree of papers were employed to assess the effectiveness of the two teaching methods.Independent samples t-test and twosample rank sum test were used for statistical analysis,P ＜ 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results Students in experimental group done better in operation scores and in the assessment of the efficiency of knowledge accepting,satisfaction of teaching and papers effect than control group(P =0.000、0.000、0.000、0.003).The two groups had no significant difference in professional exam achievements and paper review scores (P =0.625、0.354).Conclusions PACS subsystem based on video database of ophthalmology are benefit for postgraduate teaching.

This study is to investigate the effect of osthol on osteoclasts' activity, bone resorption as well as apoptosis in vitro, and explore the mechanism of osthol in preventing osteoporosis. Osteoclasts were separated from long-limb bones of new born rabbits, cultured in 24-well plate with glass slices and bone slices, and treated by 1 x 10(-5) mol x L(-1) osthol. Osteoclasts were identified by observing live cells with phase contrast microscope, HE staining, TRAP staining and toluidine blue staining of bone resorption pits. The numbers of bone resorption pits were counted as well as the surface area of bone resorption on bone slice. Osteoclasts were stained with acridine orange to detect the cell apoptosis. The ratio of apoptotic osteoclasts was observed under fluorescence microscope. The gene expression of RANKL, OPG, TRAP and p-JNK1/2 protein expression were examined using real time PCR and Western blotting, respectively. Comparing with the control group without osthol, the rates of apoptotic osteoclasts increased obviously and the number and area of bone resorption pits decreased evidently with 1 x 10(-5) mol x L(-1) osthol. There is significant difference between control group and experiment group treated by 1 x 10(-5) mol x L(-1) osthol. Therefore, the osthol through RANK+RANKL/TRAF6/Mkk/JNK signal pathway inhibits the osteoclasts activity, enhances osteoclasts apoptotic and inhibits the bone resorption.

Objective To investigate the application of parametric quantification (PQ) with targeted microbubbles on angiogenesis after stem cell transplantation in rabbits with myocardial infarction.Methods A CD34-targeted microbubble was prepared.Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) model were established by ligating coronary artery in 80 New Zealand white rabbits.Rabbits in common microbubble group (T + C group) and CD34-targeted microbubble group (T + T group) were subjected to myocardial contrast echocardiography(MCE),then compare myocardial perfusion parameters (A,β and A × β values) pre- and 3d post- ligation and 4 weeks after stem cell transplantation.Microvessel density (MVD) were determine by CD34 antibody immunohistochemistry.Results Compared to before stem cell transplantation,the perfusion scores ( P ＜0.05) and A,β and A× β values( P ＜0.01) of T+ C group and T+ T group were increased than before transplantation and control group.MVDs after stem cell transplantation in experimental groups were higher than those of control group ( P ＜0.01),especially the T + T group.A × β value in the T + C group was correlated with MVD ( r =0.658,P ＜ 0.05) ; β and A × β value in the T + T group were correlated with MVD ( r =0.620,0.859,P ＜0.05).A × β value ( X ) and MVD ( Y ) were included to establish the following regression equation:Y =- 130.986 + 34.505 X ( R 2 =0.556,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions PQ and CD34-targeted microbubble probably provides some value in invasive evaluation of angiogenesis after stem cell transplantation.

Objective To investigate the genetic aberrations in extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mueosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas from different sites of the body in Chinese patients. Methods Two hundred and seventeen paraffin-embedded MALT lymphoma specimens from 11 major sites were studied with interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to detect t(11; 18) (q21;q21)/API2-MALT1, t(1; 14) (p22; q32)/IGH-BCL10, (14; 18) (q32; q21)/IGH-MALT1 and BCL6 gene involved chromosome translocations. Results These translocations were mutually exclusive and detected in 21% (46/217) of the cases, including t(11;18) (q21;q21) API2-MALT1 13% (29/217), t (1;14)(p22 ;q32) IGH-BCLIO in 1% (3/217), t(14;18) (q32;q21) IGH-MALT1 1% (2/217), BCL6 involved translocation in 2% (4/217) and IGH-unknown translocation partner in 4% (8/217). t(11; 18) (q21;q21)API2-MALT1 was found with the highest frequency in MALT lymphoma from lungs (47% , 8/17) and small intestine (29%, 4/14), followed by salivary gland (17%, 1/6), stomach (14%, 12/84) and ocular adnexae (6% , 4/68). t(1 ;14) (p22;q32) was only detected in lungs (12%, 2/17) and stomach (1%, 1/84). t(14;18) (q32;q21) was mainly detected in lungs (6%, 1/17) and ocular adnexae (2%, 1/68). BCL6 gene involved translocation was detected in salivary gland (17% , 1/6) and stomach (4%, 3/84). Conclusions It is demonstrated that the four translocatidns occur with markedly variable frequencies in MALT lymphoma of different sites in Chinese patients. The distributions of these chromosome translocations in Chinese patients are slightly different from those reported in western patients.
