Objective To study the health state and service of the elderly in the Tongbai community. Methods The educational degree, disease histories, daily living capability, health care demand and the controlled state of hypertension and diabetes were recorded by questionnaires and physical examination. Results Overweight or obesity (66.1%) was the common disease, hypertension (42.2%) next, then coronary disease (10.0%) and diabetes (9.1%). Nearly 43.3% hypertension patients never or seldom measured their blood pressure. The rate of ideal blood pressure was lower than 25%. 30.4% diabetes patients never or seldom measured their fasting glucose and 69.3% patients never or seldom measured their post-meal glucose. 46.1% of the elderly required one or more kinds of community health services, in which annual health examination was 32.6%, and the next was health guide (23.0%), 53.9% of the elderly had no requirement of community services except medical care. Conclusion The elderly in community had high prevalence and poor control of chronic diseases. They did not fully understand the community health services, which brought the challenges to the medical care, health prevention, health education and reasonable utility of hygiene resources in community health services.

Many studies have shown that chronic inflammation occurs in the brain of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). It is well known that long-term administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can alleviate the cognitive decline of AD patient and elderly. Several inflammatory cytokines produced in the metabolism of arachidonic acid (AA) are closely related to inflammatory diseases. Lipoxygenases (LOXs) and cyclooxygenases (COXs) play a crucial role in the AA network, the products eicosanoids have an important impact on the progression of AD. Although there are many arguments and conflicting evidence, currently LOXs and COXs are still the hot topics in the research on AD pathogenesis and drug development. Here, we review the progress in research on COXs and LOXs, including their actions on CNS and their association with AD, and explore the feasibility of LOXs and COXs as targets for the drugs to prevent and/or treat AD.

Objective Global cardiovascular risk assessment has been incorporated into current Chinese guidelines for the management of hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. The aim of our study is to determine the distribution of 10-year risk for ischemic cardiovascular disease (ICVD) among middle-aged Chinese adults, and to evaluate the usefulness of global risk assessment tools in the primary prevention of ICVD in Chinese population.Methods Simplified prediction tools derived from the USA-PRC Collaborative Study of Cardiovascular Epidemiology cohort were applied to the Chinese Health Examination Database (CHED) 2008. 10-year risk for ICVD was estimated in 461 157 ICVD-free subjects (264 432 male and 196 725 female) aged 35 to 59 years. Results Among the male subjects, 82.4% had a 10-year risk for ICVD of <5%, 14.4% of 5% to 12.1 % and 3.4 of≥12.2%, and in female subjects, 86.7% had a 10-year risk for ICVD of <5%, 12.1% of 5% to 12.0% and 1.2% of ≥12.1 %. All subjects with predicted high level ICVD risk (≥ 12.2% in male or ≥ 12.1% in female) had either remarkably elevated (≥160 tnmHg) blood pressure, significantly increased (≥6.22 mml/L) total serum cholesterol or diabetes.Conclusion Using the currently recommended prediction tools, only very small proportions of middle-aged Chinese men and women who were free of ICVD would be classified into high level risk group. These prediction tools are unlikely to help for the medical intervention decision making in Chinese adult patients with hypertension and/or hypercholesterolemia.

Objective To research the nutritive condition and establish prediction model of chlorophyll-a(Chla) in a surface water source of Zhengzhou, China. Methods The water temperature(WT), Secchi-depth(SD), chemical oxygen demand(CODMn), total nitrogen(TN), total phosphorus(TP), Chla were determined in two sampling sites of the water source by standardized methods from Mar, 2004 to Oct, 2004. Nutritive condition of the water source was analyzed by trophic level index(?)[TLI(?)]. The influence of some environmental factors on Chla was analyzed by correlation analysis and stepwise multiple regression. Chla was predicted by establishing a stepwise multiple regression equation. Results In the spring, summer and autumn, nutritive condition of the water source was from the maximum of mesotropher, the maximum of light eutropher to the minimum of middle eutropher. A positive correlations were found between the standardized Chla and WT, CODMn, TP. A negative correlation was found between the standardized Chla and SD. The equation was ln(CChla+1)=-0.114+0.083 48 WT+6.874 TP+0.193 CODMn(R2=0.900, F=62.674, P
