Objective To evaluate the long term effect of comprehensive antihypertension treatment. Methods A cohort of 818 staff in an institute was enrolled. Regular health checkup, education and aggressively treatment and prevention of hypertension and its complications were administered and followed up for 6 years. Results In the past six years, the incidence rate of hypertension has been decreased year by year(from 23.7% to 19.0%). The rates of awareness(49.5% to 94.4%), treatment(37.1% to 83.7%), and achievement of target BP goal(19.6% to 82.4%) were increased. Cardiovascular risk factors as well as morbidity and mortality were decreased significantly(P

BACKGROUND:The mechanical performance and cytocompatibility of polylactic acid-polyethylene glycol (PLA-PEG) scaffold is poor via long-term experiments; therefore, other materials are added to the scaffold in order to improve its biological activity and mechanical properties. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the preparation process of carbon fiber (CF)-PLA-PEG scaffold, and to test its performance. METHODS:Modified CF-PLA-PEG composite scaffolds were prepared using solution injection-particle leaching method. Ultra-structure, porosity, water-absorbing quality, degradation rate and mechanical properties of CF-PLA-PEG composite scaffolds and PLA-PEG scaffolds were compared. Rat osteoblasts were co-cultured with these two kinds of scaffoldsin vitro, and the cel adhesion rate was detected by precipitation method after 12 hours. Cel counting was detected using MTT method to determine the cel proliferation at culture days 1, 3, 5, 7, 9. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The surface structure of PLA-PEG distributed uniformly, and the aperture was (404.0±10.5) μm. The carbon fiber surface of modified CF-PLA-PEG composite scaffolds had a lot of longitudinal grooves, the surface structure also distributed uniformly, and the aperture was (433.0±3.0) μm. Difference in scaffold aperture was of significance between the two groups (P < 0.05). The porosity, water-absorbing quality, elasticity modulus, compressive strength, degradation rate, cel adhesion rate and cel growth rate of CF-PLA-PEG were better than those of PLA-PEG (P < 0.05). These results show that the CF-PLA-PEG scaffolds have good mechanical property and cel compatibility.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic significance of blood cells and electrolyte in preoperative diagnosis and surgical treatment of Cushing's disease (CD).Methods 116 csses of CD and 21 cases of adrenocortical adenoma (ACA) patients pathologically proven adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) adenoma from Jan.2003 to Dec.2010 were enrolled into the study.They were given transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) and laparoscopic resection of adrenal adenoma (LRAA).Patients were divided into remission group ( group A),non-remission group (group B) and ACA group (group C) according to the remission criteria of CD.The preoperative and postoperative level of blood cells and electrolyte were determined.Results TSS treatment improved the abnormal level of blood cells and electrolyte in patients with CD.Group A had significant change in preoperative and postoperative level of blood cells and electrolyte,while group B and group C didn't.Conclusions Compared with the endocrine examination items which need huge expense and harsh conditions,the change of blood cells and electrolyte level is more superior in assessing diagnostic and cruative effects on CD patients.
