白芍对酒精性肝损伤肝阴虚证的保护功效和机制

目的研究白芍对小鼠酒精性肝损伤肝阴虚证的保护功效和机制。方法将ICR小鼠随机分为空白组、模型组、一贯煎组、白芍组,每组10只,除空白组外,用Lieber-DeCarli酒精液体饲料加甲状腺激素灌胃制备小鼠酒精性肝损伤肝阴虚证模型。造模期第1天开始给药,一贯煎组灌胃一贯煎水提液9.07 g/kg,白芍组灌胃白芍水提液4.3 g/kg,空白组和模型组灌胃等量生理盐水。28 d后观察各组小鼠状态,测定体重、体温、心率,测定血清及肝组织转氨酶活性、细胞因子水平、乙醇及脂肪代谢相关酶活性、抗氧化酶活性并取肝脏进行冰冻油红、HE病理切片检查。结果与空白组相比,模型组小鼠体重明显减轻,体温升高,心率加快,且出现毛发无光泽、疲倦易困、烦躁易怒等症状;血清谷丙转氨酶(ALT)、谷草转氨酶(AST)、甘油三酯(TG)、总胆固醇(TC)、环磷酸腺苷(cAMP)水平及肝组织丙二醛(MDA)、细胞色素P450同工酶E1(CYP2E1)、肿瘤坏死因子α(TNF-α)、白细胞介素1β(IL-1β)、白细胞介素6(IL-6)水平明显升高;血清中环磷酸鸟苷(cGMP)水平及肝组织中超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、乙醇脱氢酶(ADH)、乙醛脱氢酶2(ALDH2)、白细胞介素10(IL-10)、白细胞介素1Ra(IL-1Ra)水平明显降低;肝脏出现脂质沉积及肝细胞坏死情况。与模型组相比,白芍组小鼠血清中ALT、AST、TG、TC、cAMP水平均明显降低(P<0.05),cGMP水平明显升高(P<0.05);肝组织中CYP2E1、TNF-α、IL-1β、IL-6水平明显降低(P<0.05),SOD、CAT、ADH、ALDH2、IL-10、IL-1Ra水平明显升高(P<0.05);肝组织脂质占比显著降低(P<0.05),肝细胞坏死程度改善。结论白芍具有明显的保护酒精性肝损伤肝阴虚证的作用,其机制与调节cAMP/cGMP水平及细胞因子水平、使肝细胞功能与代谢恢复平衡、增强肝组织中乙醇代谢关键酶及抗氧化酶活性、同时抑制脂质过氧化反应、减少脂质沉积有关。

Associations between serum amino acids and incident type 2 diabetes in Chinese rural adults

Background and aimsSome amino acids (AAs) may be associated with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). This study aimed to determine the associations of individual AAs with the development of T2DM in rural Chinese adults.Methods and resultsA cohort study of 1199 individuals aged 18 years or older was conducted from 2006 to 2008 in a rural community of Deqing, China, a repeated survey was done in 2015 and data linkage with the electronic health records system was performed each year for identifying new T2DM cases. A high-performance liquid chromatography approach was used to measure the baseline serum concentrations of 15 AAs. Cox proportional hazards models were used to examine the associations between AAs and the risk of incident T2DM. A total of 98 new T2DM cases were identified during the follow-up of 12 years on average. Among 15 AAs, proline was associated with an increased risk of incident T2DM after adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, fasting plasma glucose, family history of T2DM, smoking status, alcohol use, and history of hypertension, the adjusted hazard ratio for 1-standard deviation increment was 1.20 (95% confidence interval: 1.00, 1.43). The association tended to be more marked in subjects younger than 60 years and overweight/obese subjects. Among participants without hypertension, proline and phenylalanine were associated with an increased risk of incident T2DM, while aspartic acid was associated with a decreased risk.ConclusionSerum proline was associated with the risk of incident T2DM in rural Chinese adults and might be a potential predictor.     

以格林模式为指导的健康宣教对尖锐湿疣患者情绪及自我效能的影响

目的探讨以格林模式为指导的健康宣教对尖锐湿疣患者情绪及自我效能的干预作用。方法将220例尖锐湿疣患者按就诊时间分为两组,各110例。对照组予以常规护理干预,观察组在此基础上实施以格林模式为指导的健康宣教,观察6个月,治疗后随访6个月统计复发率。干预前后采用医院自制尖锐湿疣患者健康知识调查问卷调查健康知识掌握情况,采用焦虑自评量表、抑郁自评量表评定焦虑、抑郁情绪,采用医学应对问卷评定应对方式,采用一般自我效能感量表评定自我效能。干预后采用纽卡斯尔护理满意度量表评定护理满意度。结果干预后观察组尖锐湿疣患者健康知识调查问卷总分及尖锐湿疣疾病知识、自我保健知识评分显著高于对照组(P<0.01),焦虑自评量表、抑郁自评量表评分显著低于对照组(P<0.01)。干预后观察组一般自我效能感量表评分及医学应对问卷的面对、自我效能评分显著高于对照组(P<0.01),回避、屈服评分显著低于对照组(P<0.01)。观察组复发率显著低于对照组(P<0.05),总满意率显著高于对照组(P<0.01)。结论以格林模式为指导的健康宣教能提高尖锐湿疣患者健康知识掌握度及自我效能水平,有效缓解其不良情绪,改变其应对方式,降低复发率,提高患者满意度。     

After-hours esophagectomy may pose additional risk to patients with esophageal cancer

BackgroundThe increase in the incidence of esophageal cancers (ECs) combined with fewer surgeons working at large centers will increase the likelihood of surgery for ECs being performed during later hours. This study aimed to compare esophagectomies’ operative outcomes for EC performed at different surgical starting times.MethodsThis was a single-center, retrospective study. Risk-adjusted cumulative sum curve analysis and Cox regression analysis were used to identify the potential change-point of surgical starting times. The participants were then divided into 2 groups according to the change-point time. Propensity score matching was used to control confounding factors between the 2 groups. We compared the short- and long-term outcomes in both groups.ResultsA total of 702 patients who underwent potentially radical esophagectomy from 7 May 2014 to 31 December 2017 in our institute were included. The 3-year all-cause mortality showed a significant change-point at 16:42, with an increment from 56.5% to 76.9% (P=0.043). Esophagectomy that commenced between 17:00–18:59 was associated with significantly lower overall survival (OS) [multivariate hazard ratio (HR): 2.47; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.25 to 4.90; P=0.010] and disease-free survival (DFS) (multivariate HR: 2.14; 95% CI: 1.08 to 4.21; P=0.028). The participants were allocated to the during-hours group and the after-hours group according to the change-point of 17:00. A total of 84 participants in the during-hours group were matched to 33 participants in the after-hours group. The median operative time was shorter in the after-hours group [309 (during-hours) vs. 239 (after-hours) minutes, P=0.014); the after-hours group had a greater incidence of respiratory complications (22.63% vs. 45.45%, P=0.023) and 90-day mortality (0 vs. 9.09%, P=0.021). The 5-year OS (P=0.042) and DFS (P=0.030) were significantly higher in the during-hours group.ConclusionsEsophagectomies started during after-hours are correlated with poorer surgical outcomes. It is recommended to cancel selective esophagectomies due to commence after 17:00.     

孕妇外周血中无细胞胎儿DNA的研究进展及应用

孕妇外周血中无细胞胎儿DNA(cffDNA)是无创性产前诊断中重要的胎儿物质的检测来源.由于孕妇血中大部分是母体DNA,而游离胎儿DNA的量非常少,仅占3％～6％.因此从孕妇血中成功分离cffDNA,对后续的无创性产前诊断有着十分重要的意义.本文分别从孕妇外周血中cffDNA的发现来源,cffDNA的结构与稳定性,分离孕妇外周血中的cffDNA的实验方法,及在无创性产前诊断中的应用等方面进行介绍,并着重对该技术近年来的研究进展作一综述.旨在探寻较高效率分离孕妇外周血中cffDNA的实验方法,为无创性产前诊断提供较高浓度的检测物质,提高其准确率及成功率.
