Objective To investigate the prevalence and the risk factors of dyslipidemia in residents aged 40 to 80 years in Guiyang. Methods A total of 10 022 adults (2 694 men and 7 328 women) aged 40 and over were selected from Yunyan community in Guiyang urban area for this population based cross-sectional study. Data were obtained by questionnaire survey, physical examination, fasting blood glucose, and lipid measurements. The association between influential factors and dyslipidemia was analyzed by logistic regression analysis. Results The standardized prevalence of dyslipidemia in residents aged 40 years and over in Guiyang was 46. 9%, with low high-densitylipoproteincholesterol(HDL-C)29.0%,hypertriglyceridemia19.3%,hightotalcholesterol(TC)9.3%, andhighlow-densitylipoproteincholesterol(LDL-C)4.3%. Logisticregressionanalysisindicatedthatage,gender, smoking, and alcohol abuse were the risk factors of high TC and high LDL-C. Abdominal obesity was a main risk factor for both hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL-C. Conclusion The prevalence of dyslipidemia of middle-aged and aged residents in urban districts of Guiyang was on the national average level. Hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL-C were the most common types. Age and abdominal obesity were important risk factors of dyslipidemia.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of aerosol inhalation ofXiyanpingversus ribavirin for the treatment of respiratory tract infections in children.MethodsPubMed, Embase, Cochrane database of Systematic Reviews, CNKI, cqvip and wanfangdata were searched. The randomized controlled trials(RCTs) of aerosol inhalation ofXiyanpingversus ribavirin injections for the treatment of respiratory tract infections in children were incuded. The quality of trials was evaluated and data analyses were performed with the Cochrane Collaboration’s software RevMan 5.0.Results A total of 7 trials were included, involving 857 patients(437 treated withXiyanping, 420 treated with ribavirin). Both of the clinical cure rate(50.11%vs. 40.71%) and clinical effective rate(91.08%vs. 75.95%) in theXiyanping group were significantly higher than those in the ribavirin group, withOR(95%CI) 1.49(1.13 to 1.97) and 3.54(1.87 to 6.71), respectively.Conclusions Aerosol inhalation ofXiyanping superior to aerosol inhalation of ribavirin for the treatment of respiratory tract infections in children. Owing to the poor quality and the small sample size of included trials, more larger good quality CRTs are required to confirm this conclusion.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and effective treatment of patients with severe type A H1N1 flu in Wenzhou. Methods The clinical data of 42 hospitalized patients with severe type A H1N1 flu were analyzed and the clinical features were summarized. Results A total of 42 patients with severe type A H1N1 flu all began with fever and cough. The symptoms of expectoration, pharyngalgia, chilly accounted for 92. 9%, 90. 5% and 42. 9%, respectively. The peripheral leucocyte counts were normal or reduced. C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate levels both increased in 30 patients (71.4%). About 95.2% (40/42) patients had changes of pulmonary imaging. All of the patients were treated with oseltamivir and effective antibiotic drugs as well as symptomatic management. No patients was treated with glucocorticoid. The patients with underlying diseases were given proper treatment. Three cases were treated with antifungal therapy and 3 pregnant patients were timely terminated of pregnancy. Conclusions Severe type A H1N1 flu progresses rapidly and the lower respiratory tract is involved soon after onset. Therefore, the patient should be diagnosed early and treated promptly after presenting fever, which will lead to good prognosis.

Objective To investigate the effects of exendin-4 (exenatide) on insulin sensitivity and adipocytokine in high-fat-fed rats. Methods Rats were divided randomly into normal-chow group (NC), high-fat group (HF) and high-fat+exendin treated group (HE). HE rats were given exenatide (2 μg/kg) twice daily for 6 wk. The insulin sensitivity was evaluated by intravenous insulin tolerance test (IVITT). Insulin-stimulated changes in insulin signal transduction, visfatin and adiponectin mRNA expressions as well as their plasma levels were also observed in these rats. Results Plasma free fatty acids (FFA), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC) levels were significantly reduced after exenatide treatment (in HE rats all P<0.01). And IVITT parameters were also improved in these rats. Insulin-stimulated IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation was slightly increased in exenatide-treated rats as compared with HF rats (P<0.05). In addition,plasma visfatin level was significantly reduced in HF and HE groups as compared with controls (P<0.05 and P<0.01). The adiponectin mRNA expression in adipose tissues and circulating adiponectin level were significantly elevated in exenatide-treated rats as compared with untreated rats and controls (P<0.01). Conclusions Chronic exenatide treatment improves insulin resistance in high-fat-fed rats, and the changes of IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation and adiponectin may be related to the role of exenatide in elevating insulin sensitivity

Ranpirnase (onconase, ONC) is a new drug, with weak RNase activity and strong cytotoxicity to various tumor cells in vitro and in vivo. This study is to obtain recombination onconase (rONC) with high bioactivity. Based on the codon preference of Pichia pastoris, we designed and synthesized the gene according to cDNA sequences of ONC and the α mating factor's prepeptide. We screened positive clones after transforming the recombination plasmids into P. pastoris X-33, GSS115 and SMD1168. We screened the best combination of seven different vectors and host strains. Moreover, we optimized culture condition in shake flasks and 10 L bioreactor, and purified rONC from the supernatant after inducing it with 0.25% methanol by aqueous two-phase extraction coupling G50 molecular exclusion method. The highest rONC production was 13 mg/L in pPICZα-A/X-33/ONC combination under the condition of pH 5.5 and 23 degrees C in shake flasks for 7 d; and that the highest rONC production was 180 mg/L when the induction is performed in the lower basic salt medium with pH 5.5 in the 10 L bioreactor for 7 d. The yield of rONC is more than 90% at a purity of above 95%. rONC can kill various tumor cells in vitro. The expression and purification of rONC would be useful for further investigation of this new drug.
