Objective To develop a method for nou-invasive risk model that can be used in health management system and primary healthcare centers. Methods Based on systematic phenotype measurement and modified superviser-based machine learning, an applicable and low-cost method for non-invasive disease risk prediction model was developed. Invasive risk assessment model for Chinese isehemic cardiovascular diseases (ICVD) was used as a supervised standard reference to provide evidence based non-invasive model with skin resistance on 24 acupeints. Results A total of 4606 cases from a physical examination system were collected to develop the model. For those reasonable evaluation indeies, the coincidence of non-invasive with invasive risk prediction model was > 90% on average level. Conclusions This method could be used to develop non-invasive risk assessment model for the common diseases.

Primary hepatic carcinoma (PHC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide and is the leading cause of death in China. Multidisciplinary treatment is widely accepted as the way to improve the prognosis of PHC, and non-surgical therapy now plays a more and more important role. The purpose of this article is to review the current status and progress of non-surgical treatments of PHC, such as TACE, local ablation, radiotherapy and systemic therapy.

Objective To study the effect of chitosan on the growth of the in vitro cultured retinal nerve cells. Methods The retinal nerve cells of SD baby rats were cultured in vitro. The effects of chitosan at 0.065%,1.25%,2.5%,5%,10%,15% on the growth of the retinal nerve cells were measured by MTT method. The blank control group was created. Results 1.25%,2.5%,5%,and 10% chitosan could obviously promote the growth of retinal nerve cells,and 10% chitosan was the optimal concentration for the growth of nerve cells. Conclusion Chitosan can effectively promote the growth of retinal nerve cells,and it is necessary to undertake the further study of Chitosan.

Technology and technique of coronary artery stent have been developed to a certain degree, restenosis rate of metal stent reduces to 15%, but coronary artery stent is still difficult for long-term effect of interventional therapy on coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. Drug-eluting stent is newly discovered during recent years, while it is prospect for preventing restenosis postoperatively. Although clinical efficacy of drug-eluting stent is encouraged, indication is still simple. In addition, some events related to drug-eluting stent remain poorly unknown. This study was designed to compare security between drug-eluting stent and metal bared stent, analyze major factors correlated with security of drug-eluting stent, and investigate the development of drug-eluting stent.

Objective To investigate health behavior level and self-efficacy in patients underwent coronary artery stent implantation,and to discuss the relationship between health behavior and self-efficacy and to offer proof to the intervention strategy of health behavior.Methods HPLP Ⅱ,self-efficacy questionnaire were used as main tools.106 patients underwent coronary artery stent implantation were investigated.Statistics analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for Social Science(SPSS)13.0.Results (1)The score of total HPLPⅡwas 130.08±21.25,the range of that was 84～180.The health behavior level of47.2%patients was general or worse,and that of 52.8%patients was good or better.(2)The score of self-efficacy was 71.37±16.32,the range of thatwas 38～110.(3)There were significant positive relationship in the scores of total HPLP Ⅱ and the six elements,and self-efficacy.The correlation coefficient was 0.389～0.916(P＜0.01).Conclusion The health behavior level of patients underwent coronary artery stent implantation was not in an ideal state.Self-efficacy has a positive effect on health behavior.The importance motivating factor should be attached to nursing practice and education by medical staff,and medical staff should establish and supervise to carry out corresponding intervention measure.

Objective To study the effects of Ginkgo biloba extract(EGb) on the volume of cerebral infarction and expression of caspase-3 in ischemic-reperfusion rats.Methods Setting up the brain ischemic and reperfusion model in rats by Nagasawa way.Both groups rats treated with small dose of EGb and large dose of EGb were injected intraperitoneally with EGb 50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg at 30 min before the trial and 1 h after cerebral ischemic respectively.The infarction volume and caspase-3 expression were detected by TTC staining and immunohisto-chemistry.Then the results were compared with ischemic-reperfusion group.Results In groups treated with small dose of EGb and large dose of EGb,infarction volumes [(83.4?2.9)mm3,(37.0?2.5)mm3] were smaller obviously than that in the ischemic-reperfusion group [(138.8?6.1)mm3](all P

[Objective]The clinical efficacy of endometriosis pelvic pain using traditional Chinese medicine in cycle treatment is discussed in the paper.[Methods] Forty patients of endometriosis diagnosed by chromatic colour type-B ultrasound or 1aparoscopy with typical dysmenorrhea were treated for three months in cycle therapy with traditional Chinese medicine based on dispersing liver,clearing away heat and activating blood circulation.The pain symptoms are evaluated before and after therapy per month.[Results]After three months treatment of traditional Chinese medicine,the diversified bellyache was significantly relieved and dysmenorrhea score was alleviated from 4.83?1.6 to 2.85?2.23(P

SUMMARY A 61-year-old male patient, with the history of premier myocardial infarction and CABG surgery, experienced recurrent unstable angina. Angiography showed triple vessel disease and vein grafts obstruction. The patient underwent a re-do OPCAB + TMLR + bone marrow mononuclear cell (BM-MNCs) transplantation on Nov. 8, 2004. BM-MNCs were isolated with standard gravity gradient method and the final implanted cell number was 12.06?108. Peri-operative data were similar to those of single OPCAB or re-CABG. The patient recovered promptly without recurrence of angina or infarction. Six-minute walking distance increased significantly (366 m to 493 m). Several imaging examinations reveal improved left cardiac function (LVEF improved from 23.75% to 52% in MRI) and diminished MI area. The results reveal that bone marrow cell transplantation, combined with TMLR and OPCAB is safe and might be effective in improving heart function for patients with IHD.

Probucol is a hypolipidemic agent with a unique pharm ac odynamic and clinical profile. It has a significant antiatherosclerogenic role a lthough it causes a marked decrease in serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-ch olesterol levels. The metabolism of HDL in vivois unclear. Some preliminary investigations suggest a beneficial effect in enhancing reverse cholesterol tra nsport which contributes to antiatherosclerosis of probucol. This paper reviews the mechanism of HDL-lowering effects of probucol.
