Objectives To grasp the situation and fluctuation tendency of Keshan disease in Qujing City,and to scientifically evaluate the control effect of Keshan disease.To provide scientific basis for elimination of Keshan disease in the 12th Five-Year Plan.Methods Cardiomyopathy cases of the past three years were searched,screening suspected cases of Keshan disease.And according to the National Surveillance Program of Keshan Disease (Trial),In Qujing City,2 Keshan disease counties (Huize,Qilin) were selected to carried out focused monitoring,1-2 endemic townships with more patients were selected based on total numbers of cases in each county,1 village with more patients was selected in each township as a monitoring site,the residents of the monitoring sites were examined clinically and electrocardiographic (ECG) tracings recorded and suspicious patients were taken chest radiograph and color Doppler ultrasound echocardiography.Diagnosis was based on the Diagnostic Standard for Keshan Disease.Results Totally 300 cases of cardiomyopathy were found,10 cases were suspected Keshan disease,0 cases of Keshan disease was diagnosed in 2009-2012.In the three villages of the two counties monitored,3 cases of potential Keshan disease were detected of the 1 505 villagers,the detection rate was 0.20％;62 abnormal ECG were found,the abnormal rate was 4.12％.Chest X-ray examination was done in 3 people,cardiothoracic ratio of 0.50 or less were 2 people,and 0.51-0.55 was 1 person.Conclusion The prevalence of Keshan disease in Qujing City is low,but the pathogenesis of Keshan disease remains,therefore,monitoring and intervention of children Keshan disease should be strengthened.

Objective To investigate the effects of paeonol on renin-angiotensin system (RAS) occurred on the development of ventricular remodeling after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in rats. Methods The left anterior descending coronary artery was ligated to establish the model of AMI in male SD rats. Six groups were set up:sham-operation group, AMI model group, captopril control group, paeonol low dose group (6 mg/kg), paeonol middle dose group (9 mg/kg) and paeonol high dose group (12 mg/kg). Rats were given treatment for 4 weeks after the AMI model was established. HE staining was used to observe changes of myocardial tissue. Real-time PCR was used to detect the mRNA levels of angiotensinogen (AGT), angiotensin Ⅱ receptor type1(AGTR1) and endothelin (ET)-1 of six groups. Western blot assay was used to detect the protein levels of peptidyl-dipeptidase A (ACE), angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang)-Ⅱand AGTR1 in six groups. Results The transcription of AGT, AGTR1, ET-1mRNA and the expressions of ACE, Ang-Ⅱ and AGTR1 protein were significantly higher in myocardial tissue of AMI rats than those of sham-operation rats (P＜0.05). Compared with model group, the expressions of AGT, AGTR1, ET-1mRNA and ACE, Ang-Ⅱ, AGTR1 protein were significantly decreased in paeonol high dose group and captopril control group (P＜0.05). Paeonol reduced the expressions of those mRNA and protein levels in a significant dose dependent manner. Conclusion Paeonol can slow down the deterioration of the ventricular remodeling after AMI in rats, which may be related to the inhibition of over-activation of RAS.

Objective To explore the relationship between the plasma membrane glycoprotein ( PC-1 ) gene and obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance in Chinese population. Methods 53 norma1 subjects, 105 simple obesity subjects, 63 type 2 diabetic patients and 114 obesity type 2 diabetics have been genotyped with PCR-RFLP. Results The frequency of PC-1 gene Q allele was 3%, 18%, 4% and 30% in control, obesity subjects, diabetic patients and obesity diabetic individuals, respectively. Compared with control group, the relative risk (RR) in OB group, OBH grop, OBI group, OBL group and OBHIL group was 4. 26,4. 12,7. 36,5. 15 and 9. 70, respectively. Compared with diabetes group, the RR in diabetes with DMOB, diabetes with OBH group, diabetes with OBI group, diabetes with OBL group and diabetes with OBHIL group was 5.23,7. 37,12. 07,8. 53 and 13. 50, respectively. Concluision The frequency of PC-1 gene Q allele were significantly associated with obesity, obesity diabetics and insulin resistance in Chinese. The results suggested that the PC-1 gene Q allele was a potential genetic marker for obesity, type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance.

Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is the main reason of causing neonatal death and poor prognosis of the nervous system.The treatment of HIE has gone into the era of therapeutic hypothermia,the early,continuous,specification amplitude integrated electroencephalography(aEEG) monitoring for therapeutic hypothermia to screen appropriate cases,assess early the severity of HIE,provide early nerve protection treatment and evaluate the therapeutic efficiency,early intervention and improve the prognosis of the long-term HIE.This paper review the application of aEEG in the therapeutic hypothermia of HIE.

Objective To carry out a taxonomic identification of a strain of claviform bacteria iso-lated from prostatic fluid of a patient who suffered from chronic prostatitis, and to approach its phylogenic and biologic position. Methods We undertaked an initial identification by phenotypic characters such as morphologecal, physiological and biochemical characteristics to ascertain its phylogeny by chemical composi-tion analysis of cell wall and 16S rRNA gene sequencing and alignment. Results A club-shaped gram posi-tive rod bacillus was isolated in pure culture state. Its biochemical reactions were not active. The diamino-acid of cell wall was meso-diaminopimelic acid (meso-DAP) and it had wall chemotype Ⅳ ( contained arabi-nose, galactose and maltose ). Sequence searches of the GenBank database revealed that this strain had a highest level of 16S rDNA sequence similarity (99.4%) to C. tuberculostearicurn strain ATCC35692 with only 8 nucleotides difference. Conclusion On the basis of phenotypic and phylngenetie analysis, it is rea-sonable to assign this strain to the species C. tuberculostearicum, and this is the first isolation of C. tubercu-lostearicum from prostatic fluid home and abroad.
