The enzyme-inhibitor model and the sugar tolerance mouse model were used to evaluate the relationship between the inhibition rate of enzyme activity and concentration of Hippophae rhamnoides L. subsp. chinensis Rousi polysaccharide (HRP). The inhibitory patterns of enzyme and dose-dependent effects of HRP's effect on blood glucose using acarbose tablets as control were also examined. The mechanism underlying hypoglycemic effects of HRP was discussed. The results showed: in the enzyme-inhibitor model, the inhibitory activity of different concentrations of HRP (9.80, 19.60, 39.20, 78.40, 156.80 and 312.50 mg x L(-1)) on alpha-glucosaminidase (AG) inhibitory activity were 6.62%, 18.02%, 33.26%, 48.23%, 62.11%, 76.31%, 90.12%, IC50 was 31.59 mg x L(-1). The inhibitory rate of 25.00 x 10(3) mg x L(-1) acarbose tablets was only 64.87%, and IC50 was 10.75 x 10(3) mg x L(-1). In the sugar tolerance mouse model, different doses of HRP (240, 480, 960 mg x kg(-1)) tended to decrease levels of blood glucose compared with control group (acarbose tablets 375 mg x kg(-1)) at 15, 30, 60 and 120 min. It's further confirmed that HRP is a kind of competitive inhibitor of AG activity. Its inhibition rate increases with the increase of concentration in normal mice, and it subsequently improves the sugar tolerance showing the effect of reducing blood sugar.

Objective To investigate the relevant factors for development of early postoperative complications in patients with portal hypertension due to advanced schistosomiasis, and to offer a theoretical basis for preventing the occurrence of postoperative complications. Methods The cases of advanced schistosomiasis with portal (hypertension) operated upon over the past 40 years were retrospectively reviewed. Results In 8 240 cases, the complication rate was 19.66% at one month after operation, and the mortality rate was 15.31%. The main causes of death were MDOS, massive hemorrhage into abdominal cavity, hepatorenal syndrome and (recurrence) of bleeding of upper alimentary tract. Conclusions The relevant factors for development of early complications after operation in patients with portal hypertension is related to the cause of portal hypertension, whether or not there is a history of ascites, the timing of operation and the stage of liver function(Child′s classification).

Objective: To explore clinical characteristics and severity of coronary lesions in young and aged patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods: A total of 60 young AMI patients and 60 aged AMI patients hospitalized in our hospital from Oct 2014 to Apr 2016 were randomly selected as youth group and aged group respectively.General data, clinical characteristics, coronary lesion severity and incidence of adverse events during hospitalization were analyzed and compared between two groups.Results: Compared with aged group, there were significant rise in percentages of male (75.0% vs.100.0%), smoking (43.33% vs.76.67%), family history of CHD (18.33% vs.46.67%) and obesity (30.00% vs.53.33%);and significant reductions in percentages of hypertension (63.33% vs.33.33%) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (50.00% vs.13.33%), P<0.05 or <0.01;significant rise in percentages of clear causes (30.0% vs.60.0%), typical chest pain (58.33% vs.86.67%) and STEMI (43.33% vs.76.67%), significant reductions in percentages of old myocardial infarction history (13.33% vs.0), atypical chest pain and NSTEMI, P<0.01 all;significant rise in percentages of single-vessel disease (18.33% vs.63.33%),medium stenosis (16.67% vs.40.00%), and significant reductions in percentages of multi-vessel disease (61.67% vs.20.00%) and severe stenosis (45.00% vs.20.00%) in youth group, P<0.01 all.Compared with aged group, there was significant reduction in incidence rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (88.33% vs.13.33%) in youth group during hospitalization, P=0.001.Conclusion: Compared with aged patients,the symptoms and ECG manifestations are more typical, vascular lesion range is limited, and complications are few in young AMI patients.

Objective : To explore diagnostic value of ankle brachial index (ABI) combined carotid intima‐media thickness (IMT) for CHD in aged patients with DM.Methods :A total of 198 aged DM patients were selected ,including 101 patients complicated with CHD (complicated CHD group ) and 97 non‐CHD patients (pure DM group ).According to number of diseased coronary vessels ,complicated CHD group was further divided into single vessel group (n＝29) ,double vessel group (n＝41) and multi‐vessel group(n＝31).Another 104 healthy aged people were enrolled as healthy control group simultane‐ously.Abnormal ABI rate (percentage of ABI＜0.9) and IMT were measured and compared among all groups .With coro‐nary angiography (CAG) as gold standard ,diagnostic value of single and combined detection of ABI and IMT for CHD were analyzed .Results :Compared with healthy control group ,there were significant rise in abnormal ABI rate (30.7% vs. 53.6% vs.69.3%) and IMT [(0.78 ± 0.46)mmvs.(1.14 ± 0.53)mm vs.(1.46 ± 0.38)mm]in pure DM group and com‐plicated CHD group ,and those of complicated CHD group were significantly higher than those of pure DM group , P＜0.05 or ＜0.01.

Sensitivity and specificity of single detection of ABI＜0.9 was 55.6% and 82.2% respectively in diagnosing CHD ;it′s 59.1% and 71.4% respectively for single detection of thickened IMT ;for combined detection ,sen‐sitivity can reach 84.51%(ABI＜0.9 or thickened IMT) and sensitivity can reach 88.91%(ABI＜0.9 combined thickened IMT).Conclusion :ABI combined IMT possesses high diagnostic value screening CHD in aged DM patients ,which is worth extending.

Background and objective Lung cancer is the malignant tumor with the highest incidence rate and the heaviest disease burden in China.In recent years,lung cancer has shown a high incidence trend,seriously affecting the health of the population.In this paper,we analyze the characteristics of lung cancer incidence in 2019 and the trend of incidence rate from 2010-2019 in the tumor registration area of Gansu province,in order to provide a reference basis for the development of lung cancer prevention and control strategies in Gansu province.Methods By analyzing the cases of lung cancer incidence in the tumor registration area of Gansu province in 2019,we calculated the incidence rate,medium incidence rate,world in-cidence rate and other related indexes;we used Joinpoint to calculate the annual percentage change(APC)for trend analysis.Results In 2019,a total of 3757 new cases of lung cancer were reported in Gansu province,accounting for 14.96%of all new malignant tumors.The incidence rate,medium incidence rate and world incidence rate and world rate of lung cancer were 40.52/105,25.78/105,25.86/105;and the cumulative rate of 0-74 years old,and the truncation rate of 35-64 years old were 3.23%,40.03/105,respectively.The incidence of lung cancer rises with age,and is high in the age group of 40 years and above,and the incidence peaks in the male and female populations in the group of 75 years and above,and the group of 80 years and above,respectively.The crude incidence rate of lung cancer in the tumor registration area of Gansu province from 2010-2019 showed an overall increasing trend,and the rate of increase was relatively fast,with an APC 5.39%(P<0.05);Separately,accord-ing to gender,urban and rural areas,the incidence of lung cancer in all populations showed an increasing trend,and the APC of male,female,urban and rural populations were 4.98%,6.39%,6.26%,and 4.64%,respectively(all P<0.05).According to the trend analysis of lung cancer incidence rate by age group,only lung cancer incidence in the age group of 65 years and above increased at an annual average rate of 4.15%(P<0.05).Conclusion The incidence rate of lung cancer in the tumor registration area of Gansu province from 2010 to 2019 shows a rising trend year by year,and there are differences in the incidence of lung cancer in people of different genders,regions and age groups,so comprehensive prevention and control work should be carried out for the key populations of lung cancer incidence.

Objective:To investigate the correlations of endoscopic evaluation results with laboratory indices and clinical disease activity in Crohn disease (CD) patients with different intestinal involvement.Methods:Data of 147 patients diagnosed as having CD who visited the Department of Gastroenterology, Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University from July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2022 were collected retrospectively. According to the involvement of intestinal segment, patients were divided into three groups: the group with isolated small intestinal involvement ( n=55), the group with both small intestinal and large intestinal involvement ( n=48), and the group with isolated large intestinal involvement ( n=44). Correlations of endoscopic evaluation (based on CDEIS) with laboratory indices and clinical disease activity (based on Harvey-Bradshaw index) were analyzed. Results:C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) could be used for the prediction of endoscopic disease activity. The areas under curve (AUC) of receiver operator characteristic (ROC) were 0.677 (0.506-0.849) and 0.744 (0.597-0.890), respectively. In terms of determing clinical disease activity, clinical Harvey-Bradshaw index was consistent with endoscopic CDEIS score in 65.3% (96/147) patients, showing a low positive correlation ( r=0.260, P<0.05). In subgroup analysis for patients with isolated small intestinal involvement, CRP showed no predictive value for clinical disease activity [AUC (95% CI): 0.617 (0.461-0.773), P=0.148], while for endoscopic activity neither CRP nor ESR showed predictive value [AUC (95% CI): 0.537 (0.146-0.929), P=0.829; AUC (95% CI): 0.571 (0.153-0.990), P=0.680]. Furthermore, for patients with isolated small intestinal involvement and both small intestinal and large intestinal involvement, no correlation was found between clinical Harvey-Bradshaw index and endoscopic CDEIS score ( r=0.222, P=0.092; r=0.142, P=0.322). Conclusion:For CD patients with small intestinal involvement, especially isolated small intestinal involvement, laboratory indices and clinical disease activity cannot accurately reflect endoscopic disease activity. Great importance should be attached to evaluation of the extent and activity of intestinal lesions by endoscopy, especially enteroscopy.
