1.Research progress of calcification and anti-calcification of implanted silicone rubber
International Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2014;37(1):57-60
Calcification of silicone rubber is a pathologic mineralization phenomenon which occurs on the surface after it is implanted in vivo,and there is no effective prevention method.The important process of calcification including these steps:phosphate ions combined with calcium ions to promote nucleating aggregation,slow increasing,fusion,and gradually form a larger accumulation of hydroxyapatite calcium.The research had been developed to the level of cells and genes,such as matrix Gla protein clusters is a calcification inhibitor of the tissues around silastic prosthesis.It is necessary to obtain a theoretical breakthrough in the aspect of organic template modulation of inorganic crystals.Silicone elastomer having its own local anti-calcification property had been paid more attention.Fully revealing the mechanism of calcification and calcification-resistant of silicone rubber will probably provide the basis for building a new anti-calcification material.

OBJECTIVE:To study the development and status quo of narcotics and psychotropic substances (NPS) in China since 1949,and to provide evidence for perfection of NPS control work in China. METHODS:The development and status quo of controlled substances control by China since 1949 were summarized and analyzed through retrieving and collecting literatures,re-ports and policies about NPS from domestic and foreign databases,news reports and related website. RESULTS & CONCLU-SIONS:Chinese narcotics and psychotropic substances control dated back to the release of Interim Regulations on Narcotics Con-trol in 1950 and Regulations on Narcotics Control,Drug Administration Law and other regulations have been issued. It had experi-enced the progress from no legal basis to having laws to follow and from executive-leading to legalization. Narcotics and psychotro-pic substances were gradually unified in systematic control,and the level of regulations rised from department rules to administra-tion regulation. At present,with Regulations on Narcotics and Psychotropic Drugs Control (2005) as regulatory basis and cata-logue of narcotics and psychotropic substances(2013)as object,China Food and Drug Administration are in charge of the national regulation,cooperating with health department,agricultural department,traffic department and other departments.

OBJECTIVE:To study the development and status quo of controlled drugs control in Britain,and to provide evi-dence for narcotics and psychotropic substances(NPS)control in China. METHODS:The development and status quo of NPS con-trol by Britain were summarized and studied through retrieving and collecting literatures,reports and policies about NPS from do-mestic and foreign databases,news reports and international website. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:British control for controlled drugs dated back to Pharmacy Act in 1868,and Britain was the first country to control drugs by legislations. A unique British sys-tem of narcotics control was established and improved after issued Rolleston Report and two pieces of Brain Report in Britain. Final-ly,the British system of narcotics control was established,which combined public health prevention with judicial redress. At pres-ent,controlled drugs are classified and controlled by Advisory Committee on Drug Abuse,Serious Organised Crime Agency and National Drug Abuse Treatment Agency subordinated to Ministry of Interior,based on Misuse of Drugs Act.

OBJECTIVE:To study the development and status quo of controlled substances control in the United States,and to provide evidence for narcotics and psychotropic substances (NPS) control in China. METHODS:The development and status quo of controlled substances control by the United States were summarized and studies through retrieving and collecting literatures,re-ports and policies about NPS from domestic and foreign databases,news reports and international website. RESULTS & CONCLU-SIONS:The United States'control for controlled substances dated back to Harrison Narcotics Tax Act in 1914,and the United States is the first nation to control narcotics addiction through the form of tax law after International Opium Convention is executed. Thereafter,the United States gradually extend the range by including cannabis,heroin and psychotropic substances into control range of Narcotics Drugs Import and Export Act,Heroin Act,Marijuana Tax Act,revising and developing comprehensive act Con-trolled Substances Act,and establishing comprehensive law enforcement agency Controlled Substances Enforcement Administration affiliated to Ministry of Justice by Nixon'sWar on Drugsplan.

OBJECTIVE:To study the development and status quo of international narcotics and psychotropic substances (NPS)control,and to provide evidence for NPS control in China. METHODS:The development and status quo of NPS control by international organization were summarized and studied through retrieving and collecting literatures,reports and policies about NPS from domestic and foreign databases,news reports and international website. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:International narcot-ics control dated back to opium trade with China in 19th century. International narcotics control system was established preliminarily by Shanghai conference and Haiya conference. The end of World War Ⅰ,the establishment of the League of Nations and the sign-ing of a number of international treaties promoted the development of internal control system. Through World War Ⅱ,the establish-ment of the United Nations and the change of international control organization,a number of international treaties were integrated into Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs in the early 1960s,which was used as the foundation of narcotics control system all round the world. In 1970s,the adoption of Convention on Psychotropic Substances meant psychotropic substances were included in the scope of internal control. In 1980s,the signing of United Nations Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psy-chotropic Substances marked the establishment of three conventions system of international NPS control. At present,internal NPS control is based on three conventions system and NPS list by Commission on Narcotic Drugs,International Narcotics Control Board and United Nations International Drug Control Program. The vast majority of countries are parties to that. International control orga-nizations and listed control have a great influence on NPS control all round the world.

OBJECTIVE:To make proposals to improve narcotics and psychotropic substances(NPS)control in China. METH-ODS:NPS control system of international organizations,the United States,Britain and China were compared in terms of concept, classification,regulatory basis and agency,etc. The suggestions and reference were put forward. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:NPS of international organizations,the United States,Britain and China are drug types included in relevant categories,besides ana-leptics,precursor chemicals and other drugs are included in control catalogue by the United States and Britain. NPS are divided in-toⅠ-Ⅳcategories by international organizations,Ⅰ-Ⅴcategories by the United States,A,B,C categories and temporary catego-ry by Britain,and narcotics,first and second class psychotropic substances by China. NPS control basis of the United States,Brit-ain and China are Controlled Substances Act,Misuse of Drugs Act and Regulations on Narcotics and Psychotropic Drugs Control, respectively;major regulation organizations are Controlled Substances Enforcement Administration,Advisory Committee on Drug Abuse subordinated to Ministry of Interior,Special Drug Section under China Food and Drug Administration,respectively;there al-so are differences in the functions of control organization and cooperative units. Considering about the problems of NPS control in China,it is suggested to improve laws and regulations system,establish independent system,extend abuse surveillance network and encourage chronic non-cancer pain therapy.

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.
