Objective  To evaluate and analyze the clinical relationship between tic disorder in children and Vitamin D(VitD) status. Methods  Relevant Chinese and English literature from CNKI,  Wanfang database,  VIP database,  Cochrane Library,  PubMed and EMbase were all searched from the establishment of the database to August 2020. Two researchers independently extracted the included literature data and evaluated the risk of literature bias. RevMan5.3 software was used for Metaanalysis. Results  Finally, four literatures were included for Meta analysis, with a total of 1  043 cases,  including 620 cases in TD group and 423 cases in healthy control group. This study showed that the average level of serum 25 hydroxyl VitD in the TD group was lower than that in the healthy control group（MD=-5.24，95%CI：-9.75-0.72，P<0.02）. Subgroup analysis showed that there was no statistically significant differences in serum VitD levels between TTD and CTD groups（MD=1.55，95%CI：-2.435.53，P<0.45）.There was no significant difference in serum VitD levels between CTD group and TS group（MD=1.06，95%CI：-0.082.21，P=0.07）.There was no significant difference in serum VitD between TTD group and TS group（MD=3.47，95%CI：-1.168.10，P=0.14）. Four literatures showed that there was no statistical difference in male children between TD group and healthy group (OR=1.36,  95%CI: 0.802.32,  P=0.25). There was no statistically significant difference in the age of children between TD group and healthy group(OR=0.03,  95%CI: -0.330.39,  P=0.86). Conclusion  This metaanalysis showed that the serum 25 hydroxyl VitD level of TD children was lower than that of healthy children, with no difference among the subgroups.

Objective  To explore the influence of family stress on the prognosis of patients with  acute coronary syndrome  (ACS) in different gender,  so that providing evidences for different groups of people to develop appropriate rehabilitation and behavioral interventions. Methods  A total of 109 patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) for the first episode were enrolled in this study. Demographic and clinical data of patients were collected. The family stress,  burnout,  anxiety and depression at baseline were evaluated by Family Stress Scale (FSS),  General Burnout Subscale of Copenhagen Burnout Inventory,  and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale  respectively,  one day before their discharge. All patients were followed up one month after discharge. Their physical performance and quality of life were evaluated by Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and 8item short form generic healthrelated qualityoflife questionnaire (SF8)  respectively. Then they were stratified according to different  gender. The effects of baseline family stress on physical performance (SPPB score),  SF8 physical health score and mental health score were analyzed. Results    The baseline family stress of the total sample was not related to the SPPB score,  but negatively related to the physical health score and mental health score,  one month after discharge. In female group,  baseline family stress was not correlated with SPPB,  physical health score and mental health score. While in male group,  baseline family stress was negatively correlated with SPPB score,  physical health score and mental health score. Multiple linear regression models were developed to control confounding factors in male group.  The effects of many confounding factors including age,  smoking,  drinking,  past medical history,  depression/burnout at baseline and so on,  were excluded. Then the results showed that baseline family stress of male had an impact on the SPPB score,  physical and mental health score one month after discharge. Conclusion  Male ACS patients with high family stress had poor physical strength and low quality of life one month after onset,  but there were no such effects in female patients,  suggesting that the impact of family stress on the prognosis of ACS patients may have gender differences.

Objective  To investigate the early diagnostic value of urinary neutrophil gelatinaseassociated lipocalin (uNGAL) in contrastinduced nephropathy (CIN) in elderly patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) after percutaneous coronary angiography and intervention.  Methods  A total of 348 CHD patients who underwent selective coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University from June 2017 to January 2019 were selected. The levels of uNGAL and serum creatinine (Scr) of patients were assessed before the surgery,  4 and 24 hours after the surgery. According to whether CIN occurred after the surgery,  the patients were divided into CIN group and nonCIN group,    and they were divided into the elderly group (≥60 years old) and the young and middleaged group (<60 years old). The changes of uNGAL and Scr of  the two groups were calculated. Results   The study included 348 patients,  and 58 had CIN. Compared with patients in nonCIN group,  those in CIN group were older,  had longer diabetes history,  higher Merhan score,  more implanted stents and higher doses of contrast agent. In the elderly patients,  the Scr levels of CIN group and nonCIN group 24 hours after the surgery  showed significant difference (P<0.05). And the levels of uNGAL in two groups 4 hours after the surgery  and  24 hours after the surgery were statistically significant (P<0.05). In the young and middleaged patients,  there was significant difference in uNGAL levels between CIN group and nonCIN group 24 hours after the surgery(P<0.05). The area under the curve of uNGAL in the diagnosis of CIN 4 hours after the surgery was 0.658,  and the cutoff value,  sensitivity and specificity were 47.50(ng/ml),  0.661 and 0.686,  respectively. Conclusion  The increase of uNGAL level in early stage of percutaneous coronary intervention has high sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of early CIN in elderly CHD patients,  and it can be used as a reference index for early diagnosis of the disease.

Objective  To analyze the difference  between central arterial blood pressure and brachial blood pressure, and to evaluate the influencing factors of the difference between peripheral blood pressure and central arterial blood pressure in middleaged and elderly patients with coronary artery disease. Methods  Patients with cardiovascular disease and undergoing coronary arteriography were selected from May, 2018 to April, 2019.According to whether there were clinical symptoms of cardiac insufficiency, the patients were divided into experimental group (51 cases) and control group (66 cases). The data of patients in two groups were recorded, including gender, age, body mass index (BMI), LVEF,NTproBNP, creatinine, glycosylated hemoglobin and blood lipids. The cSBP, cDBP were recorded in the period of coronary arteriography, and SBP and DBP value of brachial were measured at the same time.    Genaini integral method was used to evaluate the degree of coronary artery lesions and range. Results  The LVEF value  in experimental group was lower than that in control group (P<0.05). There were significant differences in cSBP, cDBP, △SBP (△SBP =SBPcSBP),△DBP (△DBP= DBPcDBP) and Genaini integral between two groups(P＜0.05). Genaini integral was a risk factor of △ BP＜10(P＜0.01，OR=28.836). Conclusion   Monitoring of difference between central artery and brachial artery blood pressure may provide reference for evaluating the degree of coronary artery lesions.

Objective  To explore the relationship between plasma miR16 and coronary heart disease(CHD), and to clarify the regulation of miR16 on the proliferation phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cells. Methods  Fortythree patients with coronary heart disease and 49 healthy volunteers were randomly selected. The expression intensity of plasma miR16 was detected by realtime fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). miR16 analogues were transfected into human vascular smooth muscle cells, and the proliferation activity of the cells was detected by CCK8 experiment. The expression of cyclin D1, D2 and E1 were detected by western blot. Results  The expression of plasma miR16 in CHD patients was significantly lower than that in  control group(P<0.05). Overexpression of miR16 significantly inhibited the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells and downregulated the expression of cyclin D1, D2 and E1. Conclusion  miR16 expression was decreased in plasma of patients with CHD. This miR may inhibit the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells through targeting the expression of cyclin D1, D2 and E1.

Objective  To investigate the distribution and influencing factors of depression in convalescent patients after stroke and the screening effect of selfrating depression scale(SDS) on depressive disorder.Methods  A total of 43 patients in convalescence after stroke were included. The results of demography, heart rate, hypertension, BMI, glycosylated hemoglobin, blood cholesterol, blood triglyceride and coagulation factor activity were collected. Anxiety, depression and sleep quality were measured by Selfrating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Selfrating Depression Scale (SDS) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). A regression model was established to observe the influence of the included variables on the SDS scores. Results  Of the 43 cases, 14 cases (32.6%) had a score of depression. The regression analysis showed that HbA1c（β=4.01, P<0.01） and  PSQI（β=0.83, P<0.05）  had significant influence on SDS score, and the regression coefficient of HbA1c was relatively large. ROC curve diagnosis revealed that the area under the ROC curve(AUC) was 0.841（95%CI：0.7130.969，P<0.01）,the best cutoff value was determined as 40.5, Youden index was 0.592, with a sensitivity of 69.2% and a specificity of 90%.Conclusion  Clinically, patients with high blood sugar and poor sleep quality after stroke should be screened and intervened in time. SDS scale can effectively screen for depressive disorder in patients.
