The collected data showed that the morbidity and distribution of large intestine carcinoma were related to region,age, dietary factor, verminosis, heredity, hormone and chronic intestinal diseases and long-term stress.characteristics, trace element intake and living habits on the morbidity of responding preventive measures for reducing the incidence of large intestine carcinoma.CONCLUSION: With the improvement of living standard, the occurrence .and distribution of carcinoma of large intestine increase, presenting a tendency to occur in young people. Developing good life style and dietary habit and doing moderate exercise can prevent the occurrence of carcinoma of large intestine.

Total 11 008 subjects underwent routine health check-up at Tianjin General Hospital in 2008. The results showed that the rate of hyperuricemia was 11.56% ( 1272/11 008 ) in this population, 17. 17% ( 1216/7082 ) for male, and 1.43% (56/3926) for female (P ＜0. 05). The serum uric acid levels were positively correlates with body mass index ( r = 0. 346), waist circumference ( r = 0. 449), systolic blood pressure ( r = 0. 193 ), diastolic blood pressure ( r = 0. 240), total cholesterol levels ( r = 0. 240) and triglyceride ester levels ( r = 0. 284 ). The factors including overweight, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycosemia were clustered in subjects with hyperuricemia.

Hybrid procedure is an method that combines surgery and intervenfional catheterization. As collaboration between surgeon and interventionalist has improved, the procedures for complex congenital heart disease is progressing and developing remarkably. Combining echocardiography monitoring in hybrid surgical procedure of complex congenital heart disease not only reduces side effect of extracorporeal circulation and operation time, but also retrieves blind spot of interventional catheterization for infant and low weight baby. Currently it is applied in the field of atrial septal defect, muscular ventricular septal defect, pulmonary stenosis and post-operation residual shunts or stenosis.

Objective To explore the perioperative nursing method and effect of doing minimal invasive occlusion to children with congenital heart disease via subaxillary incision.Methods The data of 86 children patients with congenital heart disease underwent minimally invasive occlusion via right subaxillary incision were retrospectively analyzed and summarized nursing points including preoperative and postoperative mental nursing,postoperative postural care and sedative care,observing whether the occluder moved or detached and mechanical hemolysis,monitoring ECG and blood pressure,and preventing hemorrhage and thrombogenesis.Results One case of infracristal ventricular septal defect with frequent premature ventricular beat after occlusion was converted to thoracotomy surgery;one case of mixed atrial septal defect with heart rate increasing and dyspnea after 12 hours of occlusion was found occluder detached and immediately converted to remove the occluder and fix the atrial septal defect;The other children were successfully recovered and been discharged.Conclusions Full understanding and strengthened perioperative nursing care of complications of children with congenital heart disease after surgical minimally-invasive surgical closure is the key point to avoid the occurrence of fatal complications and ensure the children recover safely and smoothly.

Objective To explore the characteristics of emotion recognition in children aged 7-14 years. Methods Nine hundred and sixty-one students aged 7-14 years were enrolled to rate the emotion dimensions of valence, arousal and dominance with the scale of Native Chinese Affective Picture System for Children. The relationship among scores of each emotion dimension was analysed, and the differences in age and gender of each emotion dimension were determined. Results For positive pictures (score of valence >6), the score of valence was positively related to that of arousal and dominate (r=0.56, r=0.40, P<0.01). For neutral pictures (score of valence 4-6), the score of valence was negatively related to that of arousal (r=-0.70, P<0.01) and positively related to that of dominance (r=0.69, P<0.01). For negative pictures (score of valence<4), the score of arousal was negatively related to that of dominance (r=-0.95, P<0.01). There were significant differences in scores of emotion dimensions between genders (P<0.05). There were significant differences in scores of arousal and dominance among children with different ages (P<0.01). Age was weakly negatively related to score of arousal (r=-0.18, P<0.01), and was weakly positively related to that of dominance (r=0.10, P<0.01). Conclusion There are significant differences in age and gender for emotion recognition in children, and the ratings are various among pictures with different characteristics, which needs to be considered in further researches.

Objective To investigate the effects of traditional transmyocardial laser revascularization (T-TMLR) and non-transmural myocardial laser revascularization (N-TMLR) on myocardial ischemic and necrotic areas and angiogenesis. Methods In rabbit models, using Evans′ blue -TTC stain and HE stain technique for measuring ischemic and necrotic areas and observing angiogenesis. Results After T-TMLR and N-TMLR,compared with the control group, the ischemic areas significantly decreased and significant elevation of angiogenesis was observed. But no difference in necrotic areas was observed among the three groups. Conclusion N-TMLR can achieve the same effects with T-TMLR. Inducing angiogenesis via laser channels and decreasing ischemic area may be one of the predominant mechanisms of TMLR whereas laser channels themselves open or not has no relation to the effects of TMLR.

Objective To investigate effects of driving fatigue on auditory involuntary attention.Method Between-groups design was used.The control group included 13 taxi drivers after adequate rest while the fatigue group included 13 taxi drivers who had been driving for 10 h.Auditory oddball pattern was adopted.The standard stimulus was 800 Hz,probability 80%;target stimulus was 1 000 Hz,probability 10%;novel stimulus was sound generated by computer or other sound,probability 10%.Subjects were asked to press the mouse upon hearing the target sound.Result The distribution of P3a was mainly around the frontal-central area of the subjects in control group;the amplitude of P3a was evidently lowered in subjects after driving fatigue.Conclusion The ability of auditory involuntary attention declines after driving fatigue.
