Objective To investigate impact of abnormal slucose metabolism on major adverse cardiac event in patients after coronary artery stent implantation.Methods Two hundred and fifteen patients whose data were available were enrolled in this study,and the patients were divided into 3 groups,diabetes group(group A),abnormal glucose metabolism group(group B),normal glucose tolerance group(group C).The clinica,coronary artery lesion characteristics and major adverse cardiac event(MACE)rate during in hospital and follow up periods were compared.Resuits There was a higher occurrence of MACE in group A and group B than that in group C(P＜0.01).There was no significant difference between group A and group B.Conclusion The patients of coronary heart disease with abnormal slucose metabolism have higher MACE rate than abnormal slueese metabolism.

Objective:To reveal the actual living conditions and the vulnerability of the life quality of orphans with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) in China,and to provide basis for appropriate relative health promotion strategies.Methods:Using gender-age 1∶ 1 matching design,96 pairs of AIDS orphans and children from ordinary families in a county of Henan Province were investigated for their living conditions and subjective quality of life with the Inventory of Subjective Life Quality.Results:(1) Compared with the control group,AIDS orphans had lower life satisfaction (45.16% vs.62.37%,P=0.019),suffered more injustice and stigma (35.48% vs.12.90%,P<0.001),had more needs to work to earn money (55.91% vs.23.66%,P<0.001) and lower probability to receive medical treatments when they were sick (36.36% vs.78.85%,P<0.001).(2) The average total score of subjective life quality in orphan group was significantly lower than that in the control group[(145.9±16.0) vs.(154.9±16.1),P<0.001].Scores of four dimensions including family life,school life,living environment and self-awareness were all significantly lower in orphans than in non-orphans which resulted in the significantly lower awareness stratum scores.(3) The average total score of subjective life quality in male orphan group was significantly lower than that in the male control group[(143.2±16.7) vs.(155.8±17.1),P<0.001].Scores of four dimensions including family life,school life,living environment and self-awareness were all significantly lower in male orphans than in male non-orphans which resulted in the significantly lower awareness stratum scores.Conclusion:AIDS orphans have more problems in lives.Their life quality is significantly affected which mainly appears as the decline of self-awareness and environmental awareness level.Long-term impacts on emotion and mental health deserve special concern.Male orphans are more vulnerable than females.

Aim To investigate interaction of CJX1,an amlodipine derivative,with ATPase activity of human P-glycoprotein.Methods Plasma membranes were prepared from K562/DOX cells,the P-gp adenosine triphosphatase activity of K562/DOX cell membranes was estimated by measuring inorganic phosphate liberation.Results The basal P-gp ATPase activity was increased by CJX1 with half-maximal activity concentration (Km) of (8.6?1.4) ?mol?L-1,CJX1 might interact with P-gp with a higher affinity and exhibit more potent effect than Verapamil (Ver).Kinetic analysis indicated a non-competitive inhibition of Ver-stimulated P-gp ATPase activity by CJX1 and a competitive inhibition of CJX1-stimulated P-gp ATPase activity by tetrandrine (Tet),moreover,the effect of CsA on CJX1-stimulated and Ver-stimulated P-gp ATPase activity showed a non-competitive and a competitive inhibition respectively.Conclusion CJX1 and Tet can bind P-gp on overlapping sites,while CJX1 and Ver as well as CsA can bind P-gp on separated sites in K562/DOX cells.

Objective To investigate the growth,development,nutritional status and mental health of AIDS affected orphans in China and provide scientific basis for policy formulation.Methods Adopting gender-age 1∶1 matching design,96 pairs of AIDS affected orphans and children from normal families were investigated in term of their physical and mental health status.Results Orphans were found thinner than non-orphans for their significantly lower BMI z scores and subscapular skinfold thickness.Compared with the control group,AIDS affected orphans also had significantly lower SES and BDI scores.Male orphans were more vulnerable than male non-orphans in physical and mental health and no significant differences were found between female groups.Conclusion AIDS affected orphans in China have significant physical and mental health vulnerabilities and urgently needs health care.More sustainable fostering strategies are needed to be explored and integrated health interventions with focus on mental health support will be crucial.And more attention should be given to male orphans.
