Objective To study the mechanism of the hyperuricemia among the middle and elderly populations. Methods Serum uric acid, creatinine (Cr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), fasting gluose (FG), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) were detected in 1073 subjects with hyperuricemia and 1235 subjects with normal serum uric acid as control of middle and elder groups. Results The means of Cr, BUN, FG, TG ,TC in hyperuricemia were significantly higher than those in the control group,respectively (males: t′ =7. 508,P ＜0.05;t′ =9. 484,P ＜0.05;t=6.208,P＜0.05;t′ =7.055,P ＜0.05;t = 5. 097,P ＜0.05;females;t′ = 11.221,P ＜0.05;t′= 8.314,P ＜0.05 ;t =5. 641 ,P ＜0.05 ;t′ =8. 328 ,P ＜0.05 ;t =7. 227 ,P ＜ 0.05). In males,the mean of the BUN; FG and TG were significant different among the different age groups (the control group: F = 3. 500, P ＜ 0.05; F = 5. 607, P ＜0.05 ;F =3. 378,P ＜0.05 ;the hyperuricemia group: F= 15.400,P ＜0.05 ;F =5. 111 ,P ＜0.05 ;F = 11. 143 ,P ＜0.05), the positive rate of BUN, Cr, FG and TG were significant different among the different age groups (control group:χ2 = 17. 112,P ＜ 0.05;χ2 =7. 807,P ＜0.05 ;χ2 = 17. 829,P ＜0.05;χ2=8.433,P ＜0.05; hyperuricemia group:χ2 =35. 587,P ＜0.05 ;χ2 =83. 005 ,P ＜0.05 ;χ2 =41. 639,P ＜0.05 ;χ2 =31. 466,P ＜0.05). In the same age group,the mean and the positive rate of BUN and Cr were significantly higher in the hyperuricemia group than in the control group(P ＜ 0.05). The mean of TG was significantly higher in every age group of the hyperuricemia group than controls (P ＜ 0.05), but the positive rate had no significant differences in the age group of ≥ 70 years (P ＞0.05). The mean and the positive rate of FG and TC were significant differences in middle age group between the hyperuricemia and the control group (P ＜ 0.05), but were no differences in elder age group(P ＞ 0.05). In females,the mean and positive rate of Cr, BUN, FG,TG and TC were significant different in different age groups of the controls(BUN:F = 13. 759,P ＜0.05;χ2 = 19. 491 ,P ＜0.05; FG: F = 13. 554,P ＜0.05;χ2 = 33. 438,P ＜0.05;TG:F= 18. 160,P ＜0.05;χ2 = 16. 978,P ＜0.05;TC: F = 37. 647,P ＜0.05;χ2 =60.547,P ＜0.05) ,but in the hyperuricemia group that were only significant difference in BUN, Cr and TC (BUN:F = 5. 830, P ＜ 0.05; χ2 =11.941,P＜0.05;Cr:F=4.057,P ＜0.05;χ2 =20.097,P＜0.05;TC:F=7.934,P ＜0.05;χ2 = 16.405,P ＜0.05). In same age group compared of all the indices were similar with male. Conclusions The mechanism of serum uric acid increasing are different in middle age and elderly age. In middle age, it is metabolic disturbance. However,in elderly age it is descending of the kidney function.

Objective To investigate the change of the cerebral glucose metabolism in Parkinson's disease(PD) with cognitive impairment.Methods Fifty patients with PD and twenty normal controls were enrolled in this study.Based on MMSE score,the PD patients were divided into PD-NC(n=25) and the PDD(n=25) group.Twenty age-and sex-matched physical health examinationer were colleted as control group.Using the SPM to analyze the characteristics of the metabolism in different cognitive level io PD patients.Results (1) Compared with control group,P D-NC group showed significant hypermetabolism in occipital (-24,-92,10),parietal (-48,12,-16) and temporal lobe(52,8,-32).(2)Compared with control group,the glucose metabolism of PDD group decreased in most cerebral cortex and subcortex.(3)Compared with PD-NC group,the metabolism of parietal lobe (-42,-48,40),occipital lobe (-22,-96,-6) and tetnporal lobe (-42,-58,16) reduced in PDD group.Conclusion Cortical brain metabolism decreases in PD-NC group.The degree and scope of glucose metabolism of PDD group will increase with the progress of cognitive dysfunction.These features could help with the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of cognitive dysfunction in Parkinson's disease.

Objective To detect the expression of AKT2 in human colon cancer and understand its relationship with PTEN.Methods The expressions of AKT2 and PTEN were detected in 30 patients with normal colonic tissues,30 patients with colon adenoma tissues,and 64 patients with colon carcinoma tissues by immunohistochemical SP staining method.Results The positive expressive rate of PTEN presented a trend of progressive decrease from normal tissues,adenoma tissues to colon carcinoma tissues,while the positive expression rate of AKT2 presented a trend of progressive increase.PTEN expression was obviously higher in normal colon tissues than in colon adenoma tissues and colon cancer tissues(?2=68.855,P

Objective To investigate the characteristics of cerebral glucose metabolism (CGM) in PD patients with cognitive impairment (PD-CI) using 18F-FDG PET/CT,and to analyze the correlation between the progress of PD-CI and CGM changes.Methods A total of 31 idiopathic PD patients (14 males,17 females,aged 37-77 years) from May 2013 to February 2014 were divided into 3 groups based on Montreal cognitive assessment (MOCA):none CI in PD (PD-NC) group (MOCA＞26 scores),mild CI in PD (PD-MCI) group (MOCA 21-26 scores),PD with dementia (PDD) group (MOCA＜21 scores).The normal controls (NC) group included 12 age-and gender-matched healthy adults (7 males,5 females,aged 40-76 years).All subjects underwent PET/CT imaging after intravenous injection of 18F-FDG(5.55 MBq/kg).MIMneuro software was used to analyze the data.The correlation between the CGM and cognitive function was analyzed using Pearson or Spearman correlation analysis.Results (1) Compared with NC group,PDD group presented a widespread cortical metabolism decrease in frontal,parietal,temporal,occipital 19bes and the limbic lobe;PD-MCI group showed hypometabolic areas in the parietal and occipital lobes,and with less extent in the frontal and temporal lobes;PD-NC group showed no significant cerebral hypometabolism.(2) Compared with PD-NC group,PDD group showed widespread cortical metabolism decrease in occipital lobe,temporal lobe,partial parietal cortex and the posterior cingulated cortex.Compared with PD-MCI group,PDD group had lower metabolism,mainly in posterior brain areas (parietal,occipital and temporal lobes).Compared with PD-NC group,PD-MCI group showed hypometabolism in right supramarginal gyrus and the left parahippocampal gyrus.(3) There were positive correlations between visuospatiaL/executive function and visual cortex metabolism,angular gyrus metabolism or superior parietal lobule metabolism (r =0.535,0.443,0.395;all P＜0.05).A positive correlation was also found between delayed memory and heschl's gyrus metabolism (r=0.337,P＜0.05).Conclusions The cerebral glucose metabolism detected with 18F-FDG PET/CT is well correlated with MOCA assessments.Thus it may be helpful in evaluation of the progress of cognitive impairments in PD.

Objective To establish the time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay(TRFIA)of CA199 based on Mag-netic Microspheres(Nano-TRFIA).Methods Based on a sandwich-type immunoassay format,analytes in sam-ples were captured by magnetic particles coated with anti-CA199 antibody B1 and"sandwiched"by anti-CA199 antibody B7 labeled with europium chelates.A total of 90 serum samples were analysed by this new method. Results The sensitivity was 0.2 U/mL,the intra.and inter.assay CV of the Nano-TRFIA were 4.84% and 8.32% respectively,and the average recovery rate was 97.91%.The cross-reacting rates with alpha fetopro-tein and CA125 were negligible.The labeled B1 with Magnetic Microspheres was at least stable for three months at 4 ℃.Serum samples from patients and healthy blood donors were analyzed,the linear correlation of TRFIA and ECLIA measurements was positive(Y = 0.969 8X+ 4.015 3).As the gold standard of ECLIA, Nano-TRFIA had two false positive.Conclusion The newly developed Nano-TRFIA based on Magnetic Mi-crospheres technique was highly sensitive,stable and specific in the immuno-determination of serum CA199. The results showed that the methods of Nano-TRFIA based on Magnetic Microspheres could be used for the clinic.

Objective To compare the advantage and disadvantage of peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM)and pneumatic dilation(PD)for the treatment of achalasia of cardia(AC). Methods Patients with confirmed AC undergoing endoscopic therapy in Southwest Hospital, Third Military Medical University between January 2011 and September 2014 were divided into POEM treatment group(n=56)and PD treatment group(n = 30), according to the decision of the patients and their families. Postoperative improvement of clinical symptoms, changes in the maximum esophageal diameter, complications, hospital stay,and inpatient expenses were compared between the two groups. Results No significant differences were observed in general preoperative data between the two groups,including gender,age,body mass index (BMI),maximum esophageal diameter, Eckardt score and disease duration(all P>0.05). The Eckardt score showed a significant decrease in 1, 6, and 12 months after operation compared to the pre?operation score in both groups(P<0.05). No matter 1 month or 6 months after operation, the Eckardt score had no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05). Six months after operation, the response rate between the two groups was no significantly different[93%(52/56)VS 80%(24/30), χ2=0.115, P=0.076],but the maximum esophageal diameter of the POEM group was smaller than that of the PD group (25.39±7.12 mm VS 32.12±9.99 mm,t=3.612,P=0.001). Twelve months after operation,the Eckardt score of the POEM group was lower than that of the PD group(0.44±0.85 score VS 1.26±1.74 score,t=2.940,P= 0.004), and the response rate was higher in the POEM group[93%(52/56)VS 80%(24/30),χ2=0.115, P=0.076]. The incidence of pneumatic complications was 32%(18/56)in the POEM group,but none occurred in the PD group(χ2=12.195,P=0.000). The hospital stay of the POEM group and the PD group was 12.33±4.13 days and 6.50±2.28 days, respectively(W=616, P=0.000). The inpatient expense of the POEM group and the PD group was 8 013.283± 4 322.695 yuan, and 1 571.018±1 590.193 yuan,respectively(W=505,P=0.000).Conclusion Both POEM and PD showed good short?term efficacy for AC.POEM is more effective,and its treatment outcome lasts longer,whereas PD has more widely indications because it is easier to operate with less complications,shorter hospital stay,and lower costs.Trail registration Chinese clinical trial registry,ChiCTR?OOC?15005889.

OBJECTIVETo understand the current status of disease burden caused by gastric cancer in Jinchang cohort.

METHODSIn this historical cohort study, the data of gastric cancer deaths from 2001 to 2013 and the medical records of gastric cancer cases from 2001 to 2010 in Jinchang cohort were collected to analyze the mortality, potential years of life lost (PYLL), working PYLL (WPYLL) associated with gastric cancer, and the medical expenditure data were used to evaluate the direct economic burden. Spearman correlation analysis and the average growth rate were used to describe the change trend of disease burden of gastric cancer.

RESULTSA total of 213 gastric cancer deaths occurred in Jinchang cohort from 2001 to 2013. The average annual crude mortality rate of gastric cancer was 38.30 per 100,000 in Jinchang cohort during 2001-2013 and no obvious change was observed. The crude mortality rate in males was 6.84 times higher than that in females. Gastric cancer death mainly occurred in age group 50-79 years (82.62%), while the mortality rates was increasing among the people under 50 years with an average annual increase rate of 0.77%. The annual average PYLL (APYLL) and average WPYLL (AWPYLL) caused by gastric cancer decreased by 8.43% and 10.46%, respectively. No obvious change in medical expenditure of gastric cancer cases was observed in Jinchang Cohort during 2001-2010, and the medical expenditure and average daily cost of hospitalization were 8102.23 Yuan, and 463.45 Yuan per capita, respectively.

CONCLUSIONSThe burden of disease for gastric cancer was heavy in Jinchang cohort. The PYLL and WPYLL had no change, while the APYLL and AWPYLL showed a increasing trend during the last ten years. Direct economic burden of inpatients with gastric cancer had no change.
