Objective To study the clinical characteristics of abnormal lipid metabolism in different types of elderly people with hypertension.Methods The clinical data,collected from the elderly people who underwent annual physical examination,the characteristics of dyslipidemia and abnormal lipid metabolism in different types of elderly people with hypertension were analyzed retrospectively. Results The prevalence of dyslipidemia was 69. 63％, in which the prevalence of hypercholesteremia and hypertriglyceridemia was 23. 65％, and 26. 71％ respectively. The prevalence of hypercholesteremia accompanied hypertriglyceridemia( mixed group) was 19. 27％, and normal group was 30. 37％. Hypertriglyceridemia group was easier to be accompanied with hypertension than normal group and HTC group(P ＜0. 05). The hypertriglyceridemia had higher risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases than norral group and HTC group( P ＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusion The elderly people had high prevalence of dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome,and with high prevalence of hypertension, which led to higher risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The hypertriglyceridemia had more strong impact on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases than hypercholesteremia.

Objective:To explore the effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 on renal expression of TGF-?1 and HGF in type 1 diabetic rats.Methods:30 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into 3 groups:normal control rats(group NC),diabetic rats(group DM ) and diabetic rats treated with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3(group DC).Kidney-to-body weight ratio(KW/BW),mean glomerular volume(MGV),fractional mesangial area(FMA),urinary albumin excretion rate(UAER)and serum creatinine(Scr)were measured after 12 weeks of treatment,while transforming growth factor-betal(TGF-?1) expression in kidney cortex were observed by immunohistochemistry.The expression levels of TGF-?1 mRNA and HGF mRNA were detected by reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) at the end of the experiment.Results:UAER,Scr,MGV,FMA and KW/BW ratio were significantly higher in the diabetic rats than those in the normal control rats(P

Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is a group of functional RNA molecules, which is more than 200 nu-cleotides in length, lacks ability of encoding protein and participates in all aspects of gene regulation. The current studies have indicated that some lncRNAs take part in regulating the process of breast cancer tumorigenesis and progression. This article reviewed the abnormal expression of lncRNA in breast cancer, its relationship to breast cancer growth, apoptosis, invasion and metastasis, and its function in early diagnosis, drug resistance and prognosis of breast cancer. This review was expected to offer an insight into a new target for the prediction, diagnosis and individual treatment of breast cancer.

Objective Compared with surgical operation,to investigate the clinical efficacy and advantages of interventional treatment in blunt liver traum.Methods 32 patients from July 2010 to October 2012,who were diagnosed as blunt liver trauma,received super selective hepatic artery embolization in Chinese People's Liberation Army in 98th Hospital.Another 27 ones received operation at the same time in Peolies's Liberation Army 98th (AAST grade Ⅱ to Ⅳ).Retrospective analysis of related cases was presented.The results were analyzed by t test.Results All of 32 patients that received super selective hepatic artery embolization were stanched bleeding successfully.All patients were followed up for 3 to 18 months,the mean follow-up time was 10 months,with no severe complications occurred or no lost cases.Conclusions Compared with surgical operation,interventional treatment had advantage that included eliable hemostasis,less operation time,minimally invasive and less hospitalization time.Interventional treatment had good effects on blunt liver trauma which were AAST grade Ⅱ to Ⅲ.

AIM: To study the effect of herbal compound poria prescription (CPP) on proliferation and differentiation in primary rat preadipocytes, and to explore the mechanism of this process. METHODS: Primary cultured rat preadipocyte proliferation was determined by cell counting and MTT spectrophotometry. Cell differentiation was determined by Oil Red O staining, and the expression of PPAR? mRNA was determined by RT-PCR. RESULTS: CPP inhibited the proliferation and differentiation of primary rat preadipocytes in a dose-dependent manner, and it also inhibited the expression of PPAR? mRNA. CONCLUSION: CPP inhibits the proliferation of primary rat preadipocytes and inhibits the preadipocyte differentiation by suppressing the expression of PPAR? mRNA.

Objective To explore the experience of surgical treatment for appendiceal carcinoid.MethodsThe clinical data of 12 appendiceal carcinoid cases received surgery were retrospectively studied.ResultsPreoperatively,all the 12 cases were considered as appendicitis.The definite diagnosis was verified by pathologic study postoperatively.Among the 12 cases, tumors less than 1 cm 9 cases, between 1 cm to 2cm 2cases, but without serosal involvment or lymph node metastasis(2 cases) recieved simple appendectomy.One case with a tumor larger than 2cm and serosal involvment underwent fight hemicolectomy.ConclusionOwing to its lack of specific symptoms,the diagnosis of appendiceal carcinoid was usually reached after operation.The choice of surgical procedures should based on the size and depth of invasion of the tumor and lymph node metastasis status.

Objective To investigate the effect of electroacupuncture on cervical surface electromyographic signals and explore the mechanism of its action on cervical muscle fatigue in patients with cervical spondylosis.Method All enrolled patients with cervical spondylosis received electroacupuncture treatment. Surface electromyography was performed in the patients before and after the first and one course of electroacupuncture treatment. An evaluation was made using a short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire before and after one course of electroacupuncture treatment. Pre- and post-treatment surface electromyographic RMS values and questionnaire scores were statistically analyzed and compared within the group.Result There were statistically significant differences in cervical erector spinae and upper trapezius RMS values during head lateral flexion and backward extension between before and after the first or one course of treatment (P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the questionnaire sub-scores between before and after one course of treatment (P<0.05).Conclusion Electroacupuncture can markedly reduce cervical muscle fatigue in patients with cervical spondylosis. Surface electromyography as a noninvasive and objective evaluation method has a broad application prospect.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of co-stimulated factor B7-1 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor(GM-CSF) genes mediated by recombinant adenovirus on immunogenicity of neuroblastoma(NB)cell line SH-SY5Y.MethodsAfter NB cell line SH-SY5Y was transfected with recombinant adenovirus mediating green fluorescent protein(Ad-GFP) in different multiplicity of infection(MOI),the transfer efficiency was tested by flow cytometry(FCM).SH-SY5Y cells were transfected separately with recombinant adenovirus,recombinant adenovirus mediating B7-1 and GM-CSF genes or only B7-1 gene,and they were named as Ad,B7-GM and B7 group.The cells which were not transfected were named as SH group.The protein expression of B7-1 and GM-CSF were detected by using FCM and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Peripheral mononuclear cells were separated and purified with Ficoll density gradient centrifugation.Cpm and cytokine(IFN-? and IL-2) secretory were evaluated by mixed lymphocyte culturing with different ratio(5 to 1 and 10 to 1) on target cells and effect cells.ResultsTransfer efficiency of recombinant adenovirus to SH-SY5Y was high.After transfection,B7-1 and GM-CSF genes were expressed.Proliferation of lymphocytes was stimulated and cytokine increased vigorously in B7-GM group and B7 group,and the effect in B7-GM group was stronger than that in B7 group.And the effect in ratio 5 to 1 group was stronger than that in 10 to 1 group.ConclusionsB7-1 and GM-CSF genes have synergistic effect.After transfection with recombinant adenovirus mediated B7-1 and GM-CSF genes,the immunogenicity of SH-SY5Y is greatly enhanced.

Tear fluid is a complex body fluid,which may contain thousands of protein/peptides and other molecules.Studies have determined that the changes in the chemical compositions of tears play an important role in some diseases and their progression.Tear fluid is a useful and easily accessible source for understanding ocular surface diseases,other eye diseases,and systemic diseases.It can also be used for identification of biomarkers for clinical applications and pharmaceutical development.Therefore,quantitative proteomic analysis of tears may provide very important information for diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases or the development of new drugs.Knowledge of the current proteomic technologies for tear analysis is helpful for conducting studies.In addition,ophthalmologists should pay close attentions to the association between tear proteomic changes and eye diseases,recent advances in tear proteomics and their applications in studying ocular surface diseases and conditions.
