Objective To epidemiologically analyze the common clinical symptoms of sub-health in Beijing area.Methods By analysis of sub-health,epidemiologlcal data and the method of factors analysis, we studied the features and properties of various symptoms and their relationships that represent various kinds of sub-health.We used the structural equation modeling to validate the relationship between the symptom groups and between the symptom groups and their components.Results The amount of the factors whose weight Values were larger than 1.0 was 13,and the cumulative value of all the factors was 55.67%.With the domain knowledge,however,the total factors were merged into 10.We took fatigue as the main hidden variable to build a structural equation model.The function was x2/df=3.65,and GFI,AGFI,CFI,Tucher Lewis indexes were all above 0.9.The direct effects between the hidden variables showed that fatigue is closely related to fatigue of eyes,sleep,and pain with the weighted coefficient ranging from 0.7 to 1.0. Fatigue is somehow related to the symptoms of stool,pee,fauces,mouth,and sweat with the weighted coefficients about 0.5.The indirect effects between fatigue and hidden vailables showed that fatigue has an effect on moods indirectly with standardized indirect effects and standardized total effects was 0.702 and 0.112.respectively.Conclusions The symptoms of sub-health are complex with a dominating symptom and many other secondary symptoms.The common symptom groups are maladjustment of mood,fatigue, abnormity of sleep,maladjustment of stool and pee,double-minded,fatigue of eyes,and pain.The results of structural equation model shows that the causality between symptoms that are in a symptom group is different,so is the causality between the symptom groups,which shows that the symptoms of the sub-health are of diversity.

beta-CIT was labeled with 131I by the peracetic acid method. Cat model of Parkinsonism was set up with MPTP. Each of normal and PD model cats was given an injection of 74 MBq/0.5 ml 131I-beta-CIT into the femur vein. Then the blood samples were obtained at 4 h and 20 h, the radioactivity was counted with calibrator. The biodistribution data of 131I-beta-CIT in cat body was calculated (ID%/g). The cats were subjected to imaging at 0.5 h, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 20 h after the administration of radiopharmaceutical. The radioactivity in striatum and cerebellum was measured and striatal specific binding ratios were calculated. The Results showed that the radio chemical purity of 131I-beta-CIT was 97.62% +/- 0.31%. The 131I-beta-CIT remained stable for at least 4 h after incubation with water and serum respectively. Following intravenous administration in cats, 131I-beta-CIT showed high accumulation in striatum. The study of imaging in cats showed that striatal specific uptake of 131I-beta-CIT at 20 h after injection was 4.83 +/- 0.82 in normal cats and 2.92 +/- 0.66 in PD cats. There was a significant reduction of striatal tracer uptake in PD cats, compared to the controls. The results of biodistribution study was in agreement with the results of imaging study. These results suggest that beta-CIT is an ideal agent for dopamine transporter imaging and can be used for the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.

Objective:To observe the efficacy and safety of olaparib combined with bevacizumab in patients with recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer, and the effect on serum levels of human epididymis protein 4 (HE4), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) and circulating tumor cells (CTCs).Methods:A total of 96 patients with recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer admitted to Dongfeng Hospital Affiliated to Hubei Medical College from June 2018 to June 2019 were selected and divided into control group ( n=48) and study group ( n=48) according to the random number table method. The control group was given doxorubicin liposomes combined with carboplatin chemotherapy for 6 cycles, and the study group was given olaparib combined with bevacizumab, continuous olaparib, and bevacizumab for 6 cycles. The median progression-free survival (PFS), the objective effective rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR) of the two groups were evaluated, the changes of serum HE4, CA125 and CTCs levels of the two groups after treatment were compared, and the adverse drug reactions of patients during treatment were observed. Results:The median PFS of the study group was 8.3 months, which was longer than 5.5 months of the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=5.134, P=0.025). The ORR and DCR of the study group were 52.08% (25/48) and 81.25% (39/48), which were significantly higher than 31.25% (15/48) and 62.50% (30/48) of the control group, with statistically significant differences ( χ2=4.286, P=0.038; χ2=4.174, P=0.041). After 6 cycles treatment, serum HE4 [(123.60±31.52) pmol/L vs. (178.01±46.22) pmol/L], CA125 [(33.52±10.61)U/L vs. (50.32±11.09) U/L] and CTCs [(2.19±0.24) pcs/5 ml vs. (3.25±0.31) pcs/5 ml] of the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group, with statistically significant differences ( t=8.489, P=0.025; t=7.562, P=0.032; t=9.341, P=0.017). The incidences of gastrointestinal reactions [35.42% (17/48) vs. 64.58% (31/48)], bone marrow suppression [18.75% (9/48) vs. 41.67% (20/48)], liver and kidney function damage [2.08% (1/48) vs. 14.58% (7/48)], cardiotoxicity [4.17% (2/48) vs. 18.75% (9/48)], allergy reaction [0 (0) vs. 8.33% (4/48)], neurotoxicity [2.08% (1/48) vs. 16.67% (8/48)] and other adverse reactions of the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group, with statistically significant differences ( χ2=8.167, P=0.004; χ2=7.584, P=0.006; χ2=4.909, P=0.027; χ2=5.031, P=0.025; χ2=4.174, P=0.041; χ2=6.008, P=0.014). Conclusion:For patients with recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer, olalapril combined with bevacizumab has better curative effect than doxorubicin liposome combined with carboplatin chemotherapy, and can prolong the survival period of patients, down-regulate serum HE4, CA125 and CTCs levels, with low incidence of adverse reactions.
