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.
4. Maxillary skeletal expander for maxillary transverse deficiency: Application and strengths
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2020;24(14):2250-2255
BACKGROUND: Maxillary skeletal expander is a non-surgical expansion technique of the maxilla. It is different from the traditional maxillary rapid expander, micro-implant assisted rapid palatal expansion, and surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion. It provides new ideas and methods for the correction of maxillary transverse deficiency, and especially for adult patients with the growth finished, provides an efficient and minimally invasive bone expansion. OBJECTIVE: To review the application and advantage of the maxillary skeletal expander in the treatment of maxillary transverse deficiency, providing scientific reference for the clinical therapeutic schedule in such patients. METHODS: A computer search for Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI, WanFang Database, and CBM databases was performed for Chinese and English literature related to the maxillary expansion device published before May 31st, 2019. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The maxillary skeletal expander is an effective method for correcting the maxillary transverse deficiency, and the expansion of the arch is not limited by age. This device also has a good outcome in bone expansion for adults. The maxillary skeletal expander expands the entire mid-face structure, causing the mid-sacral suture to be parallel, followed by ruptured palatine suture, increased width between the zygomatic bones, as well as the entire nasal cavity involving the upper nasal bone area is widened. This device also causes less adverse reactions, for example, the teeth are inclined buccally and the height of the alveolar bone is reduced.

Pelvic inflammatory disease sequela (chronic pelvic inflammation) is one of the diseases that affect women's health conditions, and leads to large economic burden. Chinese Material Medica (CMM) plays an impor-tant role in treating pelvic inflammatory disease sequela (chronic pelvic inflammatory). However, due to the lack of Evidence-based Pharmacoeconomic Evaluation Technical Essentials of CMM in Treatment of Pelvic Inflamma-tory Disease Sequela (Chronic Pelvic Inflammatory), non-standard phenomenon often appears in the research liter-ature, such as the selection of research methods, viewpoint of research, determination of cost, effect and utility. Thus, the publish of Evidence-based Pharmacoeconomic Evaluation Technical Essentials of CMM in Treatment of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease Sequela (Chronic Pelvic Inflammatory) is essential for the pharmacoeconomic evalua-tion of CMM in treating pelvic inflammatory disease sequela (chronic pelvic inflammatory).

Objective To study the polysomnography(PSG) indexes which can reflex the severity of anoxia in obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS) more comprehensively. Methods Sixtythree OSAHS patients' PSG indexes, including the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), apnea time/total sleeping time (AM), hypoventilation time/total sleeping time (HM), mean oxygen saturation (MSaO2),the lowest oxygen saturation (LSaO2) and the longest apnea time (LAT) were analyzed retrospectively. Results In patients with OSAHS,the AHI was positively correlated with AM, HM and LAT(P < 0.01 or < 0.05 ), and was negatively correlated with MSaO2 and LSaO2(P < 0.01 ). The AHI had linear regression relationship with AM,HM and LSaO2 (F =202.264,P <0.01). Conclusions Among the PSG indexes,AM is intimately associated with AHI. Therefore,compared with LSaO2,AM and HM can reflex the severity of anoxia in patients with OSAHS more accurately.
