Objective To investigate the malnutrition status among the elderly in age care institutions in Shanghai suburb and analyze its potential influential factors.Methods The MiniNutritional Assessment (MNA) was adopted to evaluate the nutritional status of the 190 elderly people in age care institutions.The dietary supply by the institution canteen and the quantity of residual food left by the malnourished elderly people were weighted.Results In the age care institutions,the malnutrition rate reached 23.7%,47.9% of the elderly people were at the risk of malnutrition,and only 28.4% of the elderly people were well nourished.Logistic regression analysis showed that the major influential factors for malnutrition in the elderly people were food intake ability,mobile capability,chewing and swallowing ability,ageing and mental Illness.The malnourished elderly people had the most residual meat and vegetables,and insufficiency of nutrient intake was the main cause for the malnutrition in the elderly people.Conclusions The elderly people in age care institutions in Shanghai suburb have the higher risk of malnutrition.The malnutrition occurs under influence of many factors,of which some are unavoidable,however,some factors like dietary factors can be changed to improve the nutritional status of the elderly people in age care institutions.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of Guizhi Decoction, Chaihu Guizhi Decoction, Xiaochaihu Decoction and camostat on rat spontaneous chronic pancreatitis and the pathological relationships between formulas and syndromes. METHODS: Fifty-seven male WBN/Kob rats at age of 4 weeks were divided into five groups: untreated group (n=18), Guizhi Decoction-treated group (n=9), Chaihu Guizhi Decoction-treated group (n=9), Xiaochaihu Decoction-treated group (n=9) and camostat-treated group (n=12). The rats in each group were fed with corresponding drugs for 12 weeks. The pancreatic wet weight and histopathological changes of pancreatic tissue were observed every four weeks. Meanwhile, the expression level of pancreatitis-associated protein (PAP) in pancreas was detected by RT-PCR technique and immunohistochemical method. RESULTS: In the untreated group, the histopathological changes in pancreas were observed in rats at 12-week age, while such changes were absent in the Guizhi Decoction-treated group. The histopathological changes in pancreas were quite remarkable in rats at 16-week age in both the Xiaochaihu Decoction-treated and the camostat-treated groups. The expression level of PAP mRNA was lower in the Guizhi Decoction-treated group than those in the other groups. The PAP expressions were absent in rats at 12-week age in the Guizhi Decoction-treated and the Chaihu Guizhi Decocion-treated groups. CONCLUSION: Guizhi Decoction, Chaihu Guizhi Decoction, Xiaochaihu Decoction and camostat are all beneficial to prevention and cure of chronic pancreatitis, and Guizhi Decoction is the most effective one. It is speculated that Taiyang exterior syndrome may be the pathogenesis of basic syndrome may be the pathogenesis of basic syndrome of spontaneous chronic pancreatitis, and the expression of PAP may be its pathological basis.

Objective To investigate the applied perineal anatomy of the pudendal nerve of female and its direction to perineal operation.Methods The gross anatomy were done on 20 female cadaver(ensuring the pelvic,the hip and the perineum were intact).In each cadaver,the dissection proceeded from intrapelvic,the pudendal canal(Alcock'canal) and the ischiorectal fossa.The composition,track,abut,ramus and domination area of female pudendal nerve were examined.Results The gross anatomy showed that the pudendal nerve was composed of the ventro-branches of sacral nerve 2~4(S_2~S_4).The pudendal nerve sends off anal branch at level of the ischial spine.And the trunk courses in the internal pudendal canal forwardly and inwardly send off the perineal nerves and dorsal nerve of clitoris.The perineal nerves sends off branches to back lunar labium,muscle and urethra.The dorsal nerve of clitoris sends off the nerve to skin of clitoris,and some to the urethra simultaneously.The pudendal nerve has different abut in different anatomical position.Conclusions The perineal anatomy of the pudendal nerve has the meaningful direction to the perineal operations.

Objective To compare the organ coefficients and expressions of hypoxia-related genes in Bama and Juema pigs.Method Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the changes of hypoxia gene expressions in the heart,liver,spleen,lung,and kidney of Juema and Bama miniature pigs.Results The organ coefficients of kidney and spleen of Juema pigs were significantly lower than Bama miniature pigs (P<0.05 for both).The heart and lung coefficients of Juema pigs were significantly higher than that of Bama miniature pigs (P<0.05 for both).The VEGF and HIF-1α expressions in the lung and kidney in Juema pigs were significantly higher than Bama pigs (P<0.05 or P<0.01).Only the EPO expression in in the lung of Juema pigs was significantly higher than that of the Bama miniature pigs (P<0.05).Conclusions These results indicate that the variation in organ coefficients may be resulted from evolutionary factors such as adaptiveness to environmental physical and energy conditions,pathogens,and energy metabolism demands,etc.in combination.Juema miniature pigs showing a significantly higher expression of hypoxia-related genes than that in Bama minipigs indicate that it has a strong plateau adaptability by higher gene expressions.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of combining ultrasonic with three-dimensional imaging guided microwave ablation in treating large hepatocellular carcinoma.Method The clinical data of 262 patients with large unresectable liver cancer who were admitted to the Air Force General Hospital from Jan 2011 to Jun 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.Of these patients,136 underwent transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE),and the remaining 126 patients underwent combined ultrasonic with three-dimensional imaging guided microwave ablation (MWA).The AFP levels,tumor ablation rate,postoperative complication rates and survival rates between the two groups were compared.Result There were significant differences in the AFP levels in the two groups before and after surgery (P <0.05),but no significant differences were found between the 2 groups (P > 0.05).A significant difference was also observed on tumor ablation rate.In the MWA group,11 patients (8.73%) developed complications,while 21 patients (15.44%) in the TACE group developed complications,(P < 0.05).The 3-month,9-month,1-year,2-year and 3-year survival rates were 99%,95%,81%,70% and 57% in the MWA group,and 98%,94%,63%,36% and 28% in the TACE group.There were significant differences in the 1-year,2-year and 3-year survival rates,but no significant difference were observed in the 3-month and 9-month survival rates.Conclnsion Combined ultrasonic with three-dimensional imaging guided microwave ablation increased the rate of tumor ablation and prolonged the survival time of patients with large hepatocellular carcinoma.
