In order to improve the accuracy of blood pressure measurement in wearable devices, this paper presents a method for detecting blood pressure based on multiple parameters of pulse wave. Based on regression analysis between blood pressure and the characteristic parameters of pulse wave, such as the pulse wave transit time (PWTT), cardiac output, coefficient of pulse wave, the average slope of the ascending branch, heart rate, etc. we established a model to calculate blood pressure. For overcoming the application deficiencies caused by measuring ECG in wearable device, such as replacing electrodes and ECG lead sets which are not convenient, we calculated the PWTT with heart sound as reference (PWTT(PCG)). We experimentally verified the detection of blood pressure based on PWTT(PCG) and based on multiple parameters of pulse wave. The experiment results showed that it was feasible to calculate the PWTT from PWTT(PCG). The mean measurement error of the systolic and diastolic blood pressure calculated by the model based on multiple parameters of pulse wave is 1.62 mm Hg and 1.12 mm Hg, increased by 57% and 53% compared to those of the model based on simple parameter. This method has more measurement accuracy.

Objective To evaluate the association between C-reactive protein (CRP) blood levels and specific survival time of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with chemotherapy.Methods Data from 96 advanced (stage ⅢB/Ⅳ) NSCLC patients were analyzed.All patients were divided into two groups based on the enrolled time as follows the initial treatment group (48 cases) and retreatment group (48 cases).According to 0.6 mg/L and 7.3 mg/L of CRP which were the 1/3 and 2/3 of CRP concentrations,respectively,the 96 patients were divided into low,intermediate and high groups.Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional-hazard models were used to evaluate the relationship between the CRP level and survival time.Results After adjusting for age,sex,smoking history,histological type and stage of lung cancer,a significant relationship between CRP and survival time was observed (P < 0.05).Such significant differences of survival time were also observed in both of the adenocarcinoma (P < 0.001) and squamous with poorly differentiated (P =0.032) subtypes.On stratification analysis by chemotherapy status,the circulating CRP level in retreatment group was correlated well with survival time (P < 0.001).However,the influence of circulating CRP levels on survival time in initial group did not reach statistical significance (P =0.296).For all patients,the hazard ratio with high CRP levels for NSCLC-specific survival was 1.15 (95 % CI 0.82-1.61) compared with that of low CRP levels.The hazard ratio for the initial treatment group and retreatment group were 0.52 (95 % CI 0.16-1.74) and 1.77 (95 % CI 0.73-4.26),respectively.Patients with high circulating CRP level also responded poorly to chemotherapy.Conclusion A high level of circulating CRP is associated with an inferior response and survival outcome in NSCLC patients treated with chemotherapy.

Objective To investigate prevalence of chronic diseases, and the awareness & attitudes, and the health demand of residents aged ≥18 yrs in Shanghai communities. Methods 2 320 residents aged over 18 yrs were selected from 19 communities by multiple stage cluster sampling and questioned by face to face survey. Results The standardized self-reported prevalence rate of whole chronic diseases was 28.4%, hypertension was 21.8%, osteoporosis was 7.0%, diabetes mellitus was 6.3%, respectively, which were ranked the top three. The awareness of the hypertension and diabetes mellitus were accounted to 89.3% and 86.0%. The demands for the convenient and comfortable clinical environment in residents accounted to 80.6%. Conclusion The prevalence of chronic diseases in Shanghai was high. It's suggested to enhance the control and prevention of chronic diseases, particularly on hypertension, and to do more health education in suburbs.

Objective To observe the expression of MTA1 and ER in breast cancer,the correlation of the two factors and with the invasive capability of breast cancer.Methods The expression of MTA1 and ER in normal breast,precancerous lesions and breast cancer tissues was detected by using nucleic acid hybridization in situ(ISH) and immunocytochemistry(IHC) methods,and their correlation was analyzed by Spearman method.ResultsThe expression of MTA1 and ER was higher in ISH than in IHC.The mRNA expression of MTA1 in normal breast tissue,precancerous lesions and breast cancer tissne was 12.2%,33.3%,and 81.1% respectively,and the expression by IHC was 11.1%,31.1% and 72.2% respectively.The mRNA expression of ER in normal breast tissue,precancerous lesions and breast cancer tissue was 83.3%,61.1% and 37.8%,respectively,and the expression by IHC was70.9%,56.7% and 35.6% respectively.The positive expression of MTA1 was higher in ER-negative patients than that in ER-positive ones(86.2﹪vs.46.9﹪).ConclusionsCombined ISH and IHC detection can improve the detection rate of MTA1 and ER.With advancement of the disease and lowering of tumor differentiation,the expression of MTA1 gradually increases,while expression of ER decreases and even disappears.The expression of MTA1 is negative in relation to that of ER(the coefficient is-0.466).MTA1and ER could be important molecular markers for the prognosis and therapy of breast cancer.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the characteristics of adverse drug reactions (ADR) caused by quinolones in our hospital and to promote their rational use in clinic. METHODS: By a retrospective review,a total of 199 quinolones-induced ADR cases collected from May 2004 to December 2007 in our hospital were analyzed statistically in respect of patients' gender and age,drug species involved,past ADR history,route of administration,clinic manifestations,etc. RESULTS: A total of 9 kinds of quinolones involved in the 199 ADR cases,of which,118 cases were induced by levofloxacin,16.1% had past ADR history,93.5% of the ADR cases were induced via intravenous drip,and most common presentations of the ADR were lesions of skin and its appendants as well as digestive system. There were 7 serious ADR cases. CONCLUSION: The indications of quinolones should be controlled strictly,which should be preferably administered orally and monitoring of its administration should be emphasized in clinical practice to decrease and avoid the occurrence of ADR.

Repaglinide is one of the most commonly used oral antidiabetic drugs. It can lower postprandial plasma glucose by means of initiating early-phase insulin release through closing the ATP-dependent potassium channels. Phamacogenomics is a branch of genetics which deals with the genetic variability in individual responses to drugs and drug metabolism. The progress of phamacogenomic study on repaglinide is summarized in this article.
