Objective To discuss the effectiveness of standardized management of hypertension and its significance of economics.Methods Taking prospective,randomized and controlled trial design to screen hypertension in four communities of Changping Town.The patients in the four communities were randomly divided into an intervention group and a control group.The intervention group was taken the standardized management and the control group was taken conventional management.Results The treatment rate and control rate of the intervention group was higher than the control group.Necessary inputs of per capita administration costs for every 1% increase of treatment or control rate in the intervention group were less than the control groups by 1.08 and 1.36 Yuan respectively.The per capita administrative costs of intervention group were higher than control group,while the per capita comprehensive costs of intervention group were lower than control group.Compared with the control group,every 1 Yuan of per capita administrative costs increases,the comprehensive costs would be reduced 7.58 Yuan in the intervention group.Conclusion Standardized management of hypertension in community can significantly improve the prevention and treatment effects.Moreover,it has good cost-effective value and saving social resources.

Objective To study the effects and mechanism of berberine in combination with magnolol and honokiol on the formation of THP-1 macrophage-derived foam cells. Methods THP-1 macrophages were induced into foam cells by ox-LDL, and intracellular cholesterol in foam cells was determined by HPLC-MS; the concentration of tumor necrosis factor-α in the supernate of THP-1 macrophages was tested by ELISA and cell-surface CD36 level was assessed byflow cytometry. Results Combined treatment of berberine, magnolol and honokiol significantly reduced cholesterol con-tent in foam cells, also inhibited expression of tumor necrosis factor-α and CD36 in THP-1 macrophage. Conclusion Co-administration of berberine, magnolol and honokiol can inhibit the formation of foam cells probably through, down-regulating the level of tumor necrosis factor-α and CD36.

Objective To detect serum CA125 and VEGF in patients of non-Hodgkin lymophoma (NHL) involved in bone marrow and analyse prognostic criteria for NHL. Methods The clinical data of 97 patient were chosen as research objects. They were all first-visit patients. Bone marrow infiltrated with lymphoma cell leukemia of 50 patients were identified by bone marrow aspiration or bone marrow biopsy 46 cases of normal bone marrow were used as controls. The serum CA125 and VEGF were detected by ELISA before treatment. Results Among 97 cases of non-Hodgkin disease, there were 50 cases of bone marrow infiltrated lymphoma cells with a incidence rate of 51.5 %. CA125 and VEGF level in the patients whose bone marrow or lymphoma cell leukemia existed NHL cells was much higher than that of NHL with negative bone marrow infutration (P <0.05). Conclusion CA125 and VEGF can be concluded clinical markers which decide bone marrow or lymphoma cell leukem of the NHL patients whether existed NHL cells or not.

Objective:To study the significance of induction chemotherapy and subsequent comprehensive therapy for overall survival rate (OS) and larynx dysfunction-free survival rate (LDFS) in patients with advanced hypopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods:Patients who met the inclusion criteria with the diagnoses of advanced hypopharyngeal carcinoma between 2011 and 2017 received 2 or 3 cycles of TPF regimen induction chemotherapy. Patients who attained complete response (CR) received radical chemotherapy. Patients who attained partial response (PR) and the reduction of tumor volume was more than 70% were defined as large PR and received concurrent chemoradiotherapy. When the tumor volume reduction of PR patients was less than 70%, they were defined as small PR. (CR+large PR) group was defined as effective group. Patients who did not reach CR and large PR were defined as uneffective group and underwent radical surgery and received adjuvant radiotherapy as appropriate after the surgery. The end points of the study were OS, progression-free survival (PFS) and LDFS. Chi-square (χ 2) test was used for correlation analysis. Survival analysis was performed by the Kaplan-Meier method with a Log-rank test. Cox proportional hazards model was used for univariate and multivariate survival analysis. Results:A total of 260 patients were enrolled in the study. The follow-up period ranged from 5 to 83 months, with an average of 24.7 months. The 3-year and 5-year OS rate was 46.0% and 32.6%, respectively. The 3-year and 5-year PFS rate was 41.0% and 26.6%, respectively. The 3-year and 5-year LDFS rate was 37.9% and 24.8%, respectively. Poor outcome of induction chemotherapy, advanced N stage, strong positive Ki-67 immunohistochemistry (all P<0.001) were negative prognostic factors. The advanced clinical stage was positively related to the poor outcome of induction chemotherapy ( P=0.015). There was no significant difference in OS and PFS between the large PR group and the small PR group (all P>0.005). Conclusion:TPF regimen induction chemotherapy and subsequent comprehensive therapy for patients with advanced hypopharyngeal carcinoma may improve the quality of life of patients, with high OS rate and LDFS rate.
