Objective : To examine the effect of moderate aerobic exercise on the 10-year risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in patients with hypercholesterolemia, so as to provide insights into ASCVD prevention. Methods : The patients with hypercholesterolemia admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Hebei University from September 2019 to September 2020 were recruited and randomly assigned into the intervention group and the control group using a random number table. Participants in both groups received routine lipid-lowering therapy and health education, and participants in the intervention group were given additional interventions of moderate aerobic exercise. Serum lipid levels were measured before and after 12 weeks of interventions. The 10-year risk of developing ASCVD was evaluated in both groups following interventions. Results : There were 50 participants with hypercholesterolemia in each of the intervention and control groups. The mean age was ( 38.80±1.42 ) years in the intervention group and ( 37.14±1.23 ) years in the control group, and males were accounted for 46.00% and 40.00%, respectively. The increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( HDL-C ), the reduction in total cholesterol ( TC ), triglyceride ( TG ), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( LDL-C ) and the 10-year risk of ASCVD were all significantly greater in the intervention group than those in the control group before and after the interventions ( P<0.05 ). Conclusion Moderate aerobic exercise may reduce the 10-year risk of ASCVD through regulating blood lipid levels.

Objective To study the morphological variations of maxillary sinus and to provide anatomical basis for maxillary posterior teeth implantation and extraction usingcone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan-ning. Methods CBCT images from 403 patients were reviewed. The minimal distance from sinus floor to alveolar ridge wasmeasured and the number of patients with clinical features such as having sinus septum , mucosal thicken-ing and posterior teeth roots extend into maxillary sinus were counted. Results The mean value of the minimal dis-tance from maxillary sinus floor to alveolar ridge was about 8.3 mm, there was no significant statistical difference between sex, but there was a significant statisticalsignificant difference between the left sides and the right sides. Occurrences of sinus septum, mucosal thickening and roots into sinus were 98.6%, 31% (in which 56.3% of mu-cosal thickening were related to apical periodontitis) and 47%. there was no significantstatisticaldifference between the two sides in males females. Conclusions The morphological variations of maxillary sinus are significant. Chron-ic inflammation in maxillary sinuis is closely related to the position of maxillary posterior teeth roots and periapical lesions.

The contents of baicalin, wogonoside, baicalein, wogonin, chrysim, and oroxylin A were overall decreased over the first 3 months of storage,but remained relatively stable between 0 and 18 months. Conclusion The results provides basis for the establishment of quality standard.

Objective To compare the effects of combination of maternal hydration and hands and knees posture with simple hands and knees posture on correction of breech pregnancy. Methods One hundred patients who were diagnosed breech pregnancy from November 2015 to November 2016 were assigned to experimental group and control group with 50 cases each according to individual willingness. The patients in experimental group received the combination of maternal hydration and hands and knees posture;while the patients in control group received simple hands and knees posture. Results Amniotic fluid index was (18.94±2.44)cm in experimental group and (15.97±2.33)cm in control group, the difference had statistic significance (t=6.239, P<0.05). The effective transfer rate and successfully used time was 92%(46/50) , (2.10 ± 0.75) weeks in experimental group and 64%(32/50), (4.27 ± 0.98) weeks in control group, the difference had statistic significance (χ2=11.422, P<0.05; t=-12.463, P<0.05). For primipara and multipara, the effective transfer rate was 90.91%(30/33), 16/17 in experimental group, and 68.75%(22/32), 10/18 in control group, the difference had statistic significance (χ2=4.986, 6.806, all P<0.05). The rate of vaginal and cesarean section deliveries was 86%(43/50), 14%(7/50) in experimental group, and 56%(28/50), 44%(22/50) in control group, the difference had statistic significance(χ2=10.928, P=0.001). Patients who had fetal movement or who didn′t have time to do correction or missed was 17.10%(46/269), 1.49%(4/269) in experimental group, and 12.55% (22/255), 7.06% (18/255) in control group. Conclusions @Therapic effects of combination of maternal hydration and hands and knees posture is much better than that of the simple hands and knees posture therapy on correction of breech pregnancy, which is worthy of popularization and application in clinic.

Phase angle (PA), derived by bioelectrical impedance analysis, has been used to evaluate nutritional status.It has a unique advantage in diagnosing early malnutrition related to diseases by the detection of human body cell membrane integrity and fluid composition change, and being associated with bad disease prognosis in part of clinical research.Because of its non-invasive, convenient, accurate and affordable technique, it has a wide prospect of clinical application.However, lack of uniform PA reference value somehow limited its application.We summarize the latest clinical research and application situation of PA, and explore the characteristics and the influence factors of PA in different disease group, in order to provide theoretical basis for the Chinese PA reference range.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) transplantation in the treatment of the MRL/lpr mice. Methods Twenty four 18-week-old MRL/lpr female mice were divided into 3 groups:group 1 (G1) were transplanted with 1×106 UC- MSCs through caudal vein, group 2 (G2) were transplanted with 1×106 UC- MSCs three times and group 3 (G3) were treated with 0.5 ml normal saline as controls. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the levels of serum anti-dsDNA antibodies. Twenty-four hours proteinuria and body weight were assessed every two weeks. The histopathology changes of the kidneys and lungs were observed. Results ① At the 25th weeks, the 24 hours proteinuria in group G1 (2.3±1.9) mg and G2 (1.8±1.4) mg was decreased than that in the control group (3.8±2.1) mg (P<0.05), and at the 27th weeks, that of groups G1 (2.5±1.5) mg and G2 (1.9±1.2) mg was also significantly decreased than in the control group (5.4±2.4) mg (P<0.01); ② From the 24th week, the body weight of groups G1 and G2 increased significantly than that of the control group (P< 0.05). At week 29, serum creatinine decreased significantly in both groups G1 (7.2±3.2) μmol/L and G2 (6.2±2.8) μmol/L than in the control group (12.5±2.3 ) μmol/L (P<0.05); ③One week after transplantation, the levels of anti-dsDNA antibodies in group G1 (46±11)×102 U/ml and G2(49×43)×102 U/ml were bothsignificantly decreased than those of the control groups (99±42)×102 U/ml (P<0.05) and the difference between group G2 (36±15)×102 U/ml and the controls (68±32)×102 U/ml was statistically significant; ④The nephron crescent formation in group G1 (0.12±0.07) and G2 (0.08±0.02) was significantly lower that of the control group (0.20±0.06) (P<0.05) and that of group G2 was significantly less that of froup G1 (P<0.05); ⑤ The interstitial pneumonitis was singnificantly milder in group G1 than group G2. Conclusions UC- MSCs is very effective in treating MRL/lpr mice. It is safe and free of rejection reactions.

Five general practitioners were trained for application of the enhancing CalgaryCambridge guide in consultation.The consultation time in 50 patients were recorded before and after training and the satisfaction degree of patients was investigated by questionnaire survey.Results showed that the length of consultation time after training was longer than that before training (490 s vs 277 s,P ＜ 0.05) and also longer than that of specialists (490 s vs 268 s,P ＜0.05).The overall satisfaction rate of patients was increased after training (72％ vs 88％,P ＜0.05).The results indicate that training of Calgary-Cambridge guide for doctor-patient communication can improve the communication skills of general practitioners.
