With the improvement of living standards， fat people tend to be more and more. Obesity is becoming increasingly important in causing a series of related diseases such as hyperlipidemia， diabetes， respiratory diseases and so on. But  obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) which is easy to be ignored but has clinical significance  can seriously affect the patient respiratory， cardiovascular and endocrine system. If OHS not timely corrected，  the prognosis is poor， including respiratory failure， arrhythmia， heart failure and so on. This paper provides a review on OHS conception，pathogenesis， clinical manifestations and diagnostic criteria and treatment. OHS deserves more attention.

ObjectiveTo examine the risks of early progressive renal function decline in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) with or without microalbuminuria and risk factors.MethodsA total of  170 T2DM patients were selected for prospective followup study. According to  24 h urinary microalbumin(UMA) levels， the patients were divided into two groups， nonalbuminuriagroup( 24 hUMA  030 mg/24 h)， and  UMA group(24 hUMA>30300  mg/24 h). At the end of the followup， the patients were subdivided into two groups by the glomerular filtration rate（GFR） fall per year: early progressive renal function decline subgroup(≥3.3% descent rate compared with initial estimated  GFR(eGFR)  and stable renal function subgroup(<3.3% descent rate per year compared with initial eGFR).The differences  between early progressive renal function decline subgroup and stable renal function subgroup were analyzed， including the general data:  T2DM duration， body mass index(BMI)， and the laboratory indexes: hemoglobin A1C(HbA1c)，liver function， renal function and others， respectively. ResultsThe proportion of early progressive renal function decline in microalbuminuria group was higher.In microalbuminuria group: early progressive renal function decline subgroup had higher systolic blood pressure(SBP)， pulse pressure(PP)， HbA1c and lower BMI compared with those of stable renal function subgroup. In nonalbuminuria group: early progressive renal function decline subgroup had lower HDLC  compared with that of stable renal function subgroup. ConclusionT2DM patients may present early progressive renal dysfunction. In T2DM patients without microalbuminuria，HDLC decline is a risk  for early progressive renal dysfunction.But， for  the patients with microalbuminuria， higher SBP， PP， HbA1c are the risks  of early progressive renal dysfunction.

ObjectiveTo investigate the the relationship between the serum omentin， adiponectin levels in liver cirrhosis patients and the insulin， ChildPugh  grade， liver biochemical indexes and serum lipids. MethodsNintyseven patients with liver cirrhosis (A33， B32 and C32) patients and 32 cases of healthy controls were enrolled. Serum omentin， serum adiponectin and related clinical and biochemical parameters were observed in two groups. ResultsThe serum omentin and serum adiponectin levels in patients with liver cirrhosis were higher than those of  healthy control group (P<0.05). The omentin and adiponectin level showed no significant difference in A， B and C grade of liver cirrhosis group (P>0.05). There were no obvious correlation between serum omentin， adiponectin levels and HOMAIR， insulin levels in liver cirrhosis patients（r=-0.135，P=0.277，r=-0.171，P=0.166；r=-0.194，P=0.115，r=-0.102，P=0.401）.The level of omentin was positively correlated with adiponectin and albumin（r=0.447，P=0.00；r=0.225，P=0.037）.And the level of adiponectin was positively correlated with highdensity  lipoprotein （r=0.264，P=0.036），but negtively correlated with prothrombin time（r=-0.306，P=0.014）.  The areas under the ROC curves of omentin and adiponectin were 0.761 and 0.918， rspectively and the cutoff values for liver cirrhosis prediction were 905.18  ng/L  and  763.85  μg/L. And the adiponectin had higher sensitivity for the diagnostic value. ConclusionThe omentin and adiponectin  can be used as prediction indexes of liver cirrhosis， but not be used to evaluate  the severity of liver function in liver cirrhosis.

ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical and autoimmune regulator(AIRE) gene mutation characteristics of one case with autoimmune polyendocrinopathy syndrome typeⅠ(APSⅠ) and to further understand APSⅠ.MethodsOne case of 9year old male APSⅠ patient was analyzed. Clinical data of the patient was collected and 2 ml venous blood of the patient and his parents as well as his elder brother were extracted. All the exons and adjacent introns of 33 immunorelated genes were sequenced by next generation sequencing. AIRE gene mutation was detected and verified by sanger sequencing. Both his parents and elder brother's AIRE gene were analyzed. ResultsThe APSⅠ child patient had repeated oral candidiasis since soon after birth. Tetany and mucocutaneous hyperpigmentation successively appeared at 8 years old. His blood biochemistry and iPTH， ACTH， COR results along with his symptoms accorded with all the three aspects of the APSⅠdiagnostic criteria. AIRE gene test showed compound heterozygous mutation (IVS11+1G>A and AIRE gene heterozygous deletion) for the boy and a heterozygous mutation of IVS11+1G>A for his father respectively. Verification by realtime  quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QPCR) showed a heterozygous deletion of AIRE gene for his mother. There was no AIRE gene mutation detected for his elder brother. ConclusionGlands  involvement in APSⅠpatients always appeared successively leading to easy misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. Therefore， more concerons put on new glands involvement during every followup. IVS11+1G>A mutation of AIRE gene is rare and its combination with heterozygous deletion of AIRE gene has not been reported.

ObjectiveTo investigate influence of polymorphisms of beta 1adrenergic receptor G1165C site and A145G site on the cardiac hypertrophy in hypertensive patients. MethodsThe study mcluded healthy subjects 115 cases from simultaneous body check，hypertension patients with cardiac hypertrophy 113 cases，and hypertension patients without cardiac hypertrophy 114 cases. The polymorphisms of G1165C site and A145G site of beta1adrenergic receptor were detected by means of polymerase chain reactionrestriction fragment length polymorphism(PCRRFLP). Results(1)There were significant  difference between the occurrence of 1165C beta1adrenergic receptor (78.5%) in hypertensive patients without cardiac hypertrophy and  in hypertensive patients with cardiac hypertrophy (89.8%). There was no significant difference between the occurrence of 145G beta1adrenergic receptor (16.7%) in hypertensive patients with no cardiac hypertrophyand in hypertensive patients with cardiac hypertrophy (16.8%). (2) There was significant difference between the left ventricular mass index of hypertensive patients with cardiac hypertrophy (123.78±5.12) g/m2 in 1165G beta1adrenergic receptor， and (154.16±47.82)  g/m2  in 1165C beta1adrenergic receptor (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference between the left ventricular mass index of hypertensive patients with cardiac hypertrophy. The left ventricular mass index of 145A beta1adrenergic receptor and 145G beta1adrenergic receptor were (150.85±46.88) g/m2 and (152.11±44.31)  g/m2，respectively.ConclusionPolymorphisms of G1165C beta1adrenergic receptor was involved in occurring cardiac hypertrophy and regulating degree of cardiac hypertrophy in hypertensive cardiac hypertrophy. There was no correlation between polymorphisms of A145G beta1adrenergic receptor and left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive patients.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the combining V1 and aVL or aVR lead in electrocardiographic(ECG) differentiation of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) from atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia (AVRT).MethodsA 12lead ECG was recorded in 143 consecutive patients with regular paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia(PSVT) during both sinus rhythm and tachycardia. All ECGs were reviewed by two experienced electrophysiologists who had no knowledge of the tachycardia mechanism. The ECG recordings were evaluated for standard criteria including pseudor′wave in lead V1， notch in lead aVL， pseudor′ wave in lead aVR， RP  interval ≥100 ms， STsegment elevation ≥1.5 mm at the Jpoint lasting 80 ms in lead aVR during tachycardia， and so on. Mechanism of arrhythmia was confirmed by the electrophysiological study. ResultsPatients with AVNRT were older (P<0.01)， predominantly female (72.4% vs 50.0%，P<0.01). Among the ECG criteria of the AVRT diagnosis， visible Pwave with RP  interval ≥100 ms had the highest diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity 69.6%， specificity 87.4%， and positive predictive value 78.0%). The combination of  visible Pwave with RP  interval ≥100 ms and STsegment elevation≥1.5 mm at the Jpoint lasting 80 ms in lead aVR obviously improved the sensitivity of the AVRT diagnosis. For AVNRT diagnosis， notch in lead aVL had a higher sensitivity（60.9%）， specificity（89.3%）， and positive predictive value(89.8%) compared with the conventional criteria of the pseudor′ in V1 and pseudos in inferior leads (all P<0.05). The combination of V1 and aVL or aVR lead obviously improved the sensitivity of the AVNRT diagnosis to 78.2% and 74.7%， respectively.But the positive predictive value did not decrease obviously.ConclusionThe combination of V1 and aVL or aVR lead is helpful to improve the accuracy of AVNRT diagnosis in ECG.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical effect of Danshen Chuanxiongqin combined with Nimodipine in treatment of transient ischemic attack (TIA).MethodsA total of 100 cases of TIA were selected and randomly divided into control (B) and treatment(A) groups. The patients in group B received Danshen Chuanxiongqin with aspirin， and those in group A got Danshen Chuanxiongqin combined with Nimodipine， and aspirin. The levels of blood pressure， blood plasma homocysteine (Hcy)， platelet aggregation (PAG) and pulse index (PI) and resistant index (RI) of related arteries (such as common carotid artery， internal carotid artery， internal vertebra artery， external vertebra artery) were measured before and after treatment. And 50 healthy volunteers served as blank control group. All data were processed by SPSS 16.0. ResultsThe levels of blood pressure， PAG and PI and RI of related arteries were obviously different before and 3 weeks′ after treatment in group B and group A than in blank control group(P＜0.05).Compared with pretreatment， the level of Hcy was greatly decreased after treatment in group A（P＜0.05)，and there was no statistic significant difference before and after treatment in group B（P＞0.05). There were few side effects in two groups. ConclusionThe therapy of Danshen Chuanxiongqin combined with Nimodipine can significantly improve hemodynamics and hemorheology of related arteries， and reduce the levels of blood pressure and Hcy. Meanwhile， the therapy is safe and  may play an important role in preventing brain stroke.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of the miRNA455 delaying heart failure after longterm pressure load. MethodsFourweekold Kunming male mice were randomly divided into three groups， TAC mice with miR455(TAC.miR455) group， TAC mice with GFP(TAC.GFP) group， and sham operation mice with GFP(sham)group. TAC or sham operation was carried out. Hematoxylin and eosin(HE) and Masson staining were carried out on the myocardial tissue to observe the histopathological changes in mice after four weeks of operation. Western blot was applied to detect apoptosis protein. qRTPCR and Western blot were applied to detect miR455 target genes and proteins. ResultsSignificant increase of miR455 gene in the miR455treated hearts of TAC were observed（P<0.01）. Myocardial collagen fibers and cell apoptosis were significantly reduced in the miR455treated hearts of TAC(P<0.05). Western blot  showed that Calr was one of the target proteins in miR – 455. PCR results dedicated that Clar decreased with calr mRNA.ConclusionmiR455 attenuates the progressive deterioration of left ventricular function. The mechanism is that ventricular remodeling is improved by Calr falling through  miR455  making target mRNA degradation.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of aromatherapy for somatopathy comorbided insomnia in patients. MethodsElectronic database Pubmed， CBM， ScienceDirect， FMRS， CNKI， Wanfang and Vip digital database were searched to collect randomized controlled trials(RCTs) on aromatherapy for comorbid insomnia in patients. Studies were selected and data were extracted by two investigators independently. Metaanalysis was conducted by RevMan 5.3. ResultsSeven studies met the inclusion criteria， involving 508 patients.  The results of metaanalysis favoured aromatherapy more than the control (P<0.01). ConclusionAromatherapy can improve somatopathy comorbided insomnia in patients significantly. Therefore， aromatherapy is recommended as a complementary therapy to improve insomnia in patients with somatopathy.

ObjectiveTo systemically review the efficacy and safety of magnesium sulfate for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (CODP). MethodsThe randomized controlled trials (RCT) concerning magnesium sulfate for CODP from databases as Pubmed， Cochrane Library， Embase， CBM， CNKI， VIP， Chinese Medical Journal Digital and ISI Web of Knowledge published between inception to February 2015 were retrieved. Meta analysis on the selected literature was conducted by means of RevMan 5.0 software. Two reviewers screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria， extract data and assessed methodological quality of included studies. ResultsA total of 14 RCTs involving 955 patients were included.  Compared with control group， Magnesium sulfate had higher remission rate of clinical signs (OR=3.22， 95%CI=1.87 to 5.55，P<0.01)，higher FEV1%（MD=10.17， 95%CI=9.07 to 11.18，P<0.01）. However， compared with control group， magnesium sulfate had no significant differences in FEV1 (MD=0.05，95%CI=0.00 to 0.10，P=0.03)， FEV1/FVC (MD=1.43，95%CI=0.00 to 2.85，P=0.05)， pH of arterial blood gas (MD=-0.01， 95%CI=-0.03 to 0.01， P=0.43)， PO2 of arterial blood gas (MD=-3.97， 95%CI=-7.41 to 15.35，P=0.49)， PCO2 of arterial blood gas (MD=0.94，95%CI=-2.69，4.57，P=0.61)，(MD=-0.94，95%CI=-0.23 to 0.04，P=0.19). Funnel plot of the remission rate of clinical signs and incidence of adverse reactions were asymmetric，which indicated publication bias. ConclusionMagnesium sulfate of intravenous infusion could significantly improve the FEV1% of lung function of COPD patients. Furthermore， it could improve the remission rate of clinical signs and have a lower incidence of adverse reaction. But there is no significant difference with other indicators. Due to limited quantity and quality of the included studies， the conclusion above should be further verified by conducting more high quality， large scale， multicentre RCTs.

Encephalitis is a complex neurological syndrome caused by inflammation of the brain parenchyma. Due to the variety of causes， broad differential diagnosis， rapid progression of the disease， frequent need of intensive supportive management， and the lack of effective therapeutic means of a variety of primary causes， the diagnosis and treatment of encephalitis are still huge challenges. In 2015， Australian Society of Infectious Diseases(ASID)， Australasian College of Emergency Medicine (ACEM)， Australian and New Zealand Association of Neurologists (ANZAN) and Public Health Association of Australia (PHAA) jointly formulated consensus guidelines for the investigation and management of encephalitis in adults and children in Australia and New Zealand， this is by far the latest regional expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of encephalitis. This guideline was established based on the previous European and American guidelines of encephalitis and integrated the latest progresses of encephalitis in recent years， the epidemiology， etiology， diagnosis， differential diagnosis， treatment and comprehensive management of encephalitis were illustrated systematically. We are here to interpret the guidelines， in order to provide references to Chinese doctors for management of encephalitis more better.
