Objective To explore the role of CGRP and progesterone along with it on the etiopathology of PIH. Methods 8 specimens of umbilical vein endothelial cells from women with PIH were cultured. Four groups were divided when cultured cells were confluent: the sera of normal pregnancy women (group 1), the sera of women with PIH (group2), the mixture of the sera of women with PIH and the injection of progesterone (group3), and the same amount of media (group 4). The cultured cell were added respectively into the four different kinds of media. After 24h of incubation, the concentration of endothelin (ET) and CGRP in media were measured by radioimmunoassay. Results 1. Comparing with group1, the concentration of CGRP in group 2 decreased and ET increased significantly. Statistic difference of ET/CGRP was found between the two groups. 2. Comparing with group 1, the concentration of CGRP in group 3 was unchanged and ET increased obviously. No difference of ET/CGRP was shown between them. 3. Comparing with group 3, in group 2, the concentration of CGRP decreased obviously and that of ET unchanged. Significant difference of ET/CGRP was found. Conclusions Progesterone, along with CGRP, might delay the onset and progressing of PIH.

Objective To evaluate the contrast enhanced CT manifestations of lymphoma involving cervical lymph node and to compare with features of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma. Methods CT findings of cervical lymph node were reviewed in 56 patients (male 44, female 12; age: 9-75 year, median 42 year) with untreated lymphoma and 66 patients (male 51, female 15; age: 16-76 year, median 48 year) with squamous cell carcinoma. Four patterns of enhanced nodes were identified: Type I: homogeneous enhancement with an attenuation equal or similar to that of muscle. Type Ⅱ: heterogeneous enhancement with an attenuation much higher than that of muscle. Type Ⅲ: central low density with peripheral enhancement. The enhanced rim was thick and irregular (ⅢA), or thin and regular (ⅢB). Type Ⅳ: central soft tissue density with a very thin enhanced capsule. Results There were various manifestations of cervical nodes of malignant lymphoma, more than one type of abnormalities could be found simultaneously. Type I(47/56, 83.9%) and Type Ⅳ(15/56, 26 8%) were almost exclusively found in lymphoma. Type Ⅱ was more commonly seen in squamous cell carcinoma (31/66, 47%), but was rarely seen in lymphoma (8/56, 14 3%). Type Ⅲ can be seen in both of these disease entities (lymphoma 21/56, 37 5%; squamous cell carcinoma 52/66, 78 8%) , but was more common in squamous cell carcinoma ( P

Objective:To analyze the risk factors of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) among elderly residents in the community.Methods:A total of 1 894 patients aged 60-75 years with NAFLD visiting general practice clinic from March 2016 to March 2018 were enrolled in the study; 1 894 age and sex-matched subjects without NAFLD served as the control group. The data of gender, age, smoking status,body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, blood pressure, blood biochemistry,past medical history and other clinical and laboratory testing were collected in the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the related risk factors of NAFLD.Results:The BMI [(27±3) kg/m 2vs.(24±3) kg/m 2, t=-26.139], waist circumference [(89±8) cm vs.(82±8) cm, t=-24.398], heart rate [(75±11) bpm vs. (74±11) bpm, t=-2.370], and diastolic blood pressure [(87±10) mmHg vs. (85±10) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), t=7.898] in the NAFLD group were significantly higher than those in the control group(all P<0.05). The levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG) [(5.9±2.0)mmol/L vs. (5.3±1.5) mmol/L, t=10.438], glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) [(6.2±1.2)% vs. (5.9±0.9)%, t=11.654], alanine aminotransferase (ALT)[(24±16) mmol/L vs. (18±15) mmol/L, t=11.915], aspartate aminotransferase (AST) [(23±11) mmol/L vs.(22±13) mmol/L, t=4.300], blood uric acid (UA) [(342±84) mmol/L vs. (307±80) mmol/L, t=13.189], total cholesterol (TC) [(5.3±1.1) mmol/L vs. (5.1±1.0) mmol/L, t=6.073], triglycerides (TG)[1.71(1.29,2.35) mmol/L vs. 1.17 (0.91,1.57) mmol/L, Z=37.261], and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)[(3.4±0.9) mmol/L vs. (3.2±0.9) mmol/L, t=6.984] in NAFLD group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.01); and the levels of blood creatinine (Cr) [(70±17) mmol/L vs. (71±18) mmol/L, t=-2.712] and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) [(1.3±0.3) mmol/L vs. (1.5±0.4) mmol/L, t==-16.726] in NAFLD group were significantly lower than those in the control group (all P<0.01). The proportion of people with hypertension [53.8% (1 019/1 894) vs. 43.4% (822/1 894)], type 2 diabetes [16.7%(317/1 894) vs. 11.3%(214/1 894)], metabolic syndrome [48.3% (915/1 894) vs. 18.0% (341/1 894)] in NAFLD group was significantly higher than that in the control group (χ 2=41.013, 23.237, 392.446, P<0.01). Logistic regression analyses revealed 13 independent risk factors of NAFLD, including 60-75 years-old female ( OR=2.348, 95 %CI: 1.917-2.876, P<0.01), high BMI ( OR=1.143, 95 %CI: 1.099-1.189, P<0.01), elevated TG ( OR=1.894, 95 %CI: 1.716-2.090, P<0.01), LDL-C ( OR=3.066, 95 %CI: 2.359-3.983, P<0.01) and HbA1c ( OR=1.276, 95 %CI: 1.175-1.386, P<0.01). Conclusion:The factors associated with NAFLD are complicated; and corresponding measures targeting the risk factors should be taken to reduce the occurrence and development of NAFLD among elderly people in the community.

Data were analyzed from self-filled questionnaires for the students who took the elective course of general practice in China Medical University. 95.5% of students thought it was necessary to study general practice in the college. 0-10 was used to score the degree of how they want to choose general practice as a career, the median was 0 before they had the class and the median was 5 after the class (Wilcoxon rank test, P<0.01). But there were still some places need to be improved in terms of curriculum design, teaching methods and community practice. The General Practice teaching need to be innovated and the teaching mode should be different from the traditional one.

Objective To investigate the inactivating effect of heat and ultraviolet(UV) light on HCV JFH-1 strain using the cell culture system. Methods The HCV JFH-1 virus stock, with an initial titer of 2.5 × 104 FFU/ml, was exposed in 56℃ water bath or to UV light for varying durations of time for explo-ring their inactivating effects on the virus. The kinetics of virus titer reduction was determined by an indirect immuno-fluorescence assay (IFA). If the cells infected with the exposed virus stock were IFA negative after three blind passages, the virus stock was considered to be inactivated completely. Results After incubation of the HCV JFH-1 virus stock (2.5 × 104 FFU/ml)in 56℃ water bath for 10 min, 20 min and 30 min, the virus titers were reduced to 1.6 × 103 FFU/ml, 3.1 × 102 FFU/ml and 3.3 × 10 FFU/ml, respectively. The exposure of the virus stock to UV light (wavelength 253.7 nm, intensity ≥60 μW/cm2, 30 cm below the UV lamp) for 15 s, 30 s and 45 s resulted in virus fiter reduction to 1.0 × 103 FFU/ml, 1.1 × 102 FFU/ml and 2.7 × 10 FFU/ml, respectively. After 40 min incubation of the virus stock at 56℃, or 1 min exposure to UV light (wavelength 253.7 nm, intensity ≥60 μW/cm2) the virus infectious titer was reduced below the detection limit of IFA, and the IFA was still negative even after three blind passages, indicating that the virus was inactivated completely. Conclusion HCV is sensitive to heat and UV light treatment. For HCV JFH-1 virus stock containing 2.5 × 104 FFU/ml virus, heat treatment at 56℃ for 40 min, or UV light expo-sure at an intensity of ≥60 μW/cm2 for 1 min, resulting in complete virus inactivation.
