Objective To investigate the prevalence and the risk factors of dyslipidemia in residents aged 40 to 80 years in Guiyang. Methods A total of 10 022 adults (2 694 men and 7 328 women) aged 40 and over were selected from Yunyan community in Guiyang urban area for this population based cross-sectional study. Data were obtained by questionnaire survey, physical examination, fasting blood glucose, and lipid measurements. The association between influential factors and dyslipidemia was analyzed by logistic regression analysis. Results The standardized prevalence of dyslipidemia in residents aged 40 years and over in Guiyang was 46. 9%, with low high-densitylipoproteincholesterol(HDL-C)29.0%,hypertriglyceridemia19.3%,hightotalcholesterol(TC)9.3%, andhighlow-densitylipoproteincholesterol(LDL-C)4.3%. Logisticregressionanalysisindicatedthatage,gender, smoking, and alcohol abuse were the risk factors of high TC and high LDL-C. Abdominal obesity was a main risk factor for both hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL-C. Conclusion The prevalence of dyslipidemia of middle-aged and aged residents in urban districts of Guiyang was on the national average level. Hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL-C were the most common types. Age and abdominal obesity were important risk factors of dyslipidemia.

Objective To compare the efficacy and complications between transurethral resec-tion of the prostate(TURP) and transurethral vaporization-resection of the prostate (TUVRP). Methods 637 cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)were divided into 2 groups, 298 cases un-derwent TURP and 339 underwent TUVRP. The maximal flow rates (Qmax) were (9.8±2.3)ml/s, (10.1±2.1) ml/s, the international prostatic symptom scores (IPSS) were 15.3±3.1,15.1±3.7 re-spectively. The surgical outcomes and the complications of the 2 groups were analyzed. Results For the TURP group and TUVRP group, the postoperative Qmax were (19.0±2.9)ml/s and (18.0±2.3) ml/s, both significantly higher than those of preoperation(P<0.01). There was no significant differ-ence between the 2 groups(P0.05). For the TURP group, the mean operation time was (52±16) rain, visual hematuria lasting for (9.0±2.3) d, secondary bleeding in 6 cases (2.0%), lower urinary tract infection in 14 cases(4.7%), 1 month after operation lower urinary tract symptom(LUTS) in 26 case(8.7%), IPSS was 5.0±1.4, contemporary incontinence in 6 cases(2.0%), memberanous sticture 4 cases(1.3%). For the TUVRP group, the mean operation time was (68%19)min, visual hematuria lasting for (12.0±3.6) d, secondary bleeding in 19 cases (5.6%), lower urinary tract infection in 38 cases(11.2%) ,1 month after operation LUTS in 59 cases(17.4%) ,IPSS was 8.0±1.6,contemporary incontinence in 13 cases(3.8%), memberanous stieture in 16 cases (4.7%). There were significant differences between the 2 groups. For the TURP group, blood loss during operation was (126±29) ml, resected tissue weighed (31±8)g, pre- and post-operative serum natium consentration balance was (8±6)mmol/L,TURS developed in 3 cases(1%). For the TUVRP group, blood loss during opera-tion was (122±38)ml, resected tissue weighed (33±9)g,pre- and post-operative serum natium con-sentration balance was (7±7) mmol/L, TURS developed in 2 cases(0.6%). There was no significant differences(P0.05). Conclusions TURP and TUVRP have similar efficacy treating symptomatic BPH. The incidences of complications of TUVRP are slightly higher than those of TURP.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy, safety and tolerance of different enteral nutritional therapy in the treatment of moderately severe acute pancreatitis (MSAP).Methods:From January 2018 to January 2019, 65 patients with MSAP who were hospitalized in Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital, Capital Medical University were prospectively enrolled. According to random number table, the patients were divided into the nasogastric tube enteral nutrition (NGEN) group (35 cases) and the nasojejunal tube enteral nutrition (NJEN) group (30 cases). All the patients received enteral nutrition solution through continuously pumping at a constant speed for 24 h. The two groups were compared in the relief time of abdominal pain, time from admission to receiving enteral nutrition treatment, time to resume oral feeding, computed tomography severity index (CTSI) score 1 week after enteral nutrition, nutrition status, infection parameters, hospitalization time, hospitalization expenses and complications. Independent sample t test and rank sum test of two independent samples were used for statistical analysis. Results:There were no significant differences in age, gender, body mass index (BMI), CTSI score and Ranson score at admission, relief time of abdominal pain, time from admission to receiving enteral nutrition treatment, time to resume oral feeding, CTSI score one week after enteral nutrition or hospitalization time between NGEN group and NJEN group (all P>0.05), and there was no death in both groups. The cost of hospitalization, catheterization time, cost of catheterization of NGEN group were all lower than those of NJEN group ((40.0±10.0) thousand yuan vs. (40.4±9.0) thousand yuan; 2.00 min (1.50 min, 2.50 min) vs. 11.50 min (9.50 min, 12.75 min); 135.42 yuan (135.42 yuan, 135.42 yuan) vs. 1 313.30 yuan (1231.20 yuan, 1 823.72 yuan)), and the differences were statistically significant ( t=2.342, Z=6.737 and 7.687, all P<0.01). The albumin levels of MSAP patients of the NGEN group at admission and 1 week after enteral nutrition were both higher than those of NJEN group ((43.5±5.1) g/L vs. (41.0±4.0) g/L, (42.1±4.1) g/L vs. (39.5±4.4) g/L), and the differences were statistically significant ( t=2.135 and 2.486, P=0.04 and 0.02), however there was no statistically significant difference in the decrease of albumin level between the two groups ( P>0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of nutrition-related complications (abdominal distension, diarrhea, gastric retention and lumen obstruction) or the incidence of severe complications (transient organ failure and pancreatic necrosis complicated with infection) between NGEN group and NJEN group (all P>0.05). Conclusions:The efficacy and safety of NGEN are equivalent to NJEN in MSAP. Moreover, it can reduce the medical expenses of patients, and it is convenient to carry out in primary hospitals because of its easy operation.
8.Progress of human epididymis protein 4 and carbohydrate antigen 125 in epithelial ovarian cancer
Cancer Research and Clinic 2019;31(1):58-61
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) has the highest mortality rate among the gynecological malignancies. Because of its early symptoms are not obvious and lack of effective screening methods, more than 70% patients have been diagnosed at late stage (stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ). Although the 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) of EOC was prolonged with the improvement of treatment methods, its prognosis was still poor, and 50%-95% patients relapsed within 2 years after treatment. Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) and carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) are widely used in the evaluation of diagnosis, treatment efficacy and prognosis of EOC, but the evaluation effect of both HE4 and CA125 is rarely reported. Therefore, it is necessary to summarize the research progress of HE4 and CA125 in evaluating the diagnosis, treatment efficacy and prognosis of EOC.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of umbilical blood stem cell transplantation (UCBSCT) on the treatment of hepatitis B liver cirrhosis. Methods Forty-eight patients with hepatitis B liver cirrhosis were enrolled and divided into the treatment group and the control group. There were 25 patients in the treatment group , who received UCBSCT treatment based on conventional liver protection treatment and 23 patients in the control group , who received conventional liver protection treatment. The changes of liver function , coagulation function, clinical symptoms, signs and side effects were studied before the treatment and at 2, 4, 12 and 24 weeks post-treatment. Results The levels of albumin, cholinesterase, and prothrombin activity in the treatment group were higher than those before treatment and were higher than those in the control group. The parameters in the control group were not significantly changed before and after the treatment (P > 0.05). The levels of alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase,total bilirubin in both two groups were not significantly changed before and after the treatment (P > 0.05). After 4-week treatment,the differences on improvement of appetite , lacking in strength , abdominal distension , ascites were statistically significant in the treatment group compared with the control group (P < 0.05). No adverse reactions were observed in all groups. Conclusion UCBSCT on the treatment of hepatitis B liver cirrhosis is safe and reliable.

As a common malignant tumor, breast cancer has seriously affected women's physical and psychological health even threatened their lives. Breast cancer has even begun to show a gradual trend of high incidence in some places in the world. As a kind of common pathological assist diagnosis technique, immunohistochemical technique plays an important role in the diagnosis of breast cancer. Usually, Pathologists isolate positive cells from the stained specimen which were processed by immunohistochemical technique and calculate the ratio of positive cells which is a core indicator of breast cancer in diagnosis. In this paper, we present a new algorithm which was based on modified watershed algorithm and concavity points searching to identify the positive cells and segment the clustered cells automatically, and then realize automatic counting. By comparison of the results of our experiments with those of other methods, our method can exactly segment the clustered cells without losing any geometrical cell features and give the exact number of separating cells.
