Objective The objective of this study is to investigate whether there is a correlation between a high TyG index(serum triglyceride glucose index)and higher mortality rates among patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis(PD).Methods This study utilized a single-center retrospective cohort as the basis for its methods..From January 1,2007 to December 31,2015,a total of 519 PD patients kept under observation until December 31,2018.There searchers employed the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards modelsto examine the cor-relation between TyG index levels and mortality.Results Over a period of 40.5 months,104(20.0%)individuals with Parkinson's disease passed away,with 55(52.9%)of these deaths attributed to cardiovascular disease(CVD).The serum median TyG index at baseline was 8.44(6.48,11.94).Through Cox regression analysis subject to the adjustments of such parameters as gender,age,body mass index(BMI),presence of cardiovascular disease,hypertension,diabetes mellitus,hemoglobin,serum albumin,serum Ferritin,total cholesterol,renal residual function(RRF),An increased risk of all-cause mortality(HR = 2.22,95%CI:1.43~3.44,P<0.001)and CVD mortality(HR = 2.50,95%CI:1.34~4.65,P = 0.004)was observed with a higher baseline TyG index(8.44).A comparable impact was observed in the correlation between the average TyG index over time(TA-TyG index)and both all-cause mortality and CVD mortality.(HR = 1.90,95%CI:1.25~2.90,P = 0.003;HR = 2.05,95%CI:1.14~3.70,P = 0.017,respectively).Conclusion PD patients with a higher serum TyG index have a greater risk of all-cause mortality and mortality related to cardiovascular disease.

ObjectiveTo understand the concentration of heavy metal cadmium and cadmium in portunus and mantis shrimp, and to timely identify food safety problems and potential hazards. MethodsPortunus and mantis shrimp samples from different provinces were collected and categorized based on different regions and locations, and some samples were made from tissue parts. Graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry was used to detect cadmium items, the cadmium exposure of portunus and mantis shrimp was evaluated simultaneously ResultsThe detection rate of cadmium in 124 batches of portunus sold in Shanghai was 100% (124/124), the detection rate of cadmium in 63 batches of mantis shrimp sold in the market was also 100% (63/63). The cadmium content varied in different tissue parts, and the cadmium enrichment in hepatopancreas was the highest in the edible parts of portunus and mantis shrimp. The average detection value, 50th percentile value, 95th percentile value of cadmium in the hepatopancreas of portunus accounted for 52.64%, 49.28% and 98.65% of the PTMI, respectively. The average detection value, 50th percentile value and 95th percentile value of cadmium in the hepatopancreas of mantis shrimp accounted for 30.76%, 32.04% and 46.16% of the PTMI, respectively. ConclusionThe average residual levels of heavy metal cadmium in portunus and mantis shrimp are within the safe range.

Objective To study the dosimetry distribution of 125Ⅰ seed chains with different radians in different curvatures of bile ducts. Methods The outlines were drawn on the papers, which are the seed chain models with different radians. Radians formula (radian length=2πr × angle/360) was used to calculate the corresponding 0°, 30°, 60°, 90°, 120°, 150° and 180° models with a radian length at 45 mm, for the total length of seed chain model was 45 mm, and the seeds, had no interval or linear arrangements. The image was transmitted to the Brachytherapy planning system for seeds implantation( TPS) to simulate the seed chains with different radians. Using TPS to delineate the tumor target area, of which the activity was set as 1. 85 × 107 Bq, and the prescription dose was 60 Gy. It was prescribed to simulate the bile duct ( diameter at 8 mm) . TPS were used to calculate the D90 and V100 of the simulated bile duct with the diameter at 8 mm, and explore dosimetry of the points at the centripetal and centrifugal sides with 5 mm vertical distance which from two endpoints and center of seed chains with different radians. Results When the radian of seed chain was 30°, the D90and the V100 were the highest (the D90 was 132 Gy; the V100 was 100%). While the radian was 60°, the D90 and the V100 were the lowest (the D90 was 45 Gy, the V100 was 68%). As the radian was 30°, the highest dose was in the center ( dose in the centripetal side was 165 Gy, and centrifugal side dose was 142 Gy) . The center has the lowest dose as the radian up to 180°(dose in the centripetal side was 90 Gy, and centrifugal side dose was 50 Gy) . Among all radians, dose in the centripetal side was always higher than centrifugal side in the center. Between two endpoints, dose in the centrifugal side was higher than centripetal. Conclusions Distribution of seed chain dosage also changed along with the change of radian. When the radian of seed chain was 30°, the D90 and the V100 were the highest. The centripetal dose was higher than that of the centrifugal side.

Objective To explore the feasibility, safety and preliminary efficacy of radioactive gastric tube of 125Ⅰ seeds in the treatment of advanced esophageal carcinoma. Methods For 10 cases with advanced esophageal carcinoma, the tumor target area was outlined in the TPS system according to preoperative CT images. Prescription dose was 60 Gy with 125Ⅰ seed radioactivity of 2. 22 × 107 Bq. Accordingly, the 125Ⅰ seeds number and the appropriate gastric tube was decided. Then, depending on the location of the tumor and certain rules, 125Ⅰ seeds were fixed in the tube wall to make the radioactive 125Ⅰ seeds gastric tube. Under the C-arm X-ray fluoroscopy, the radioactive 125Ⅰ seeds gastric tubes were placed into esophageal carcinoma site of the patients. Results The radioactive 125Ⅰ seeds gastric tubes of 10 patients were successfully placed, without esophageal perforation, bleeding complications and so on. In one month after operation, all patients with dysphagia′s Stooler classification score were 2 -3 level,of which one case died of other basic diseases in three months after operation, and six cases achieved 0 -1 level while the other three cases achieved 1 -2 level in four months after operation. There were no cases of postoperative chest pain, bleeding, pneumonia and other related complications. Conclusions The radioactive 125Ⅰ seeds gastric tube could not only help to solve nutrition problems, but also the intracavitary brachytherapy inhibit the growth of tumor, which is safe and feasible in clinical use. It can be used as a palliative treatment for patients with advanced esophageal carcinoma.

ObjectiveTo provide a scientific basis for the prevention and early intervention of obesity and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in adolescents. MethodsAnthropometric measurements, liver function test, and abdominal ultrasonography were performed in adolescents who received physical examination in our hospital from March to April, 2012. Between-group comparison of continuous data was made by t test, and between-group comparison of categorical data was made by χ2 test. The further multivariate analysis was performed by logistic regression analysis. ResultsA total of 4141 adolescents, including 2061 girls and 2080 boys, were enrolled in the study with an average age of 18.62±0.66 years. Boys had significantly higher overweight and obesity rates than girls (χ2=49.5, P<0.01; χ2=20.4, P<0.01). The overall incidence of NAFLD in subjects was 8.1% (335/4141), while the incidence of NAFLD in boys was significantly higher than that in girls (13.4% vs 2.8%, χ2=156.4, P<0.01). The detection rate of NAFLD was the highest in obese subjects, followed by subjects with high body mass index (BMI) and subjects with normal BMI. Moreover, obese boys had a significantly higher detection rate of NAFLD than obese girls (71.6% vs 29.0%, χ2=56.5, P<0.01). Among both boys and girls, BMI, body mass, alanine aminotransferase level, and aspartate aminotransferase level were significantly higher in the NAFLD group than in the non-NAFLD group (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that body mass and BMI were likely to be independent risk factors for NAFLD. ConclusionThe prevalence of obesity and NAFLD in adolescents in Xi′an is not optimistic. For obese adolescents, healthy lifestyle, body mass control, and BMI reduction are important approaches for prevention of NAFLD.
