Objective: To study the relationship between Framingham risk score for coronary artery disease (CAD) and cognitive function in healthy community elders.
Methods: A total of 276 healthy community elders were evaluated by Framingham score to predict the risk for suffering from CAD in 10 years. The subjects were divided into 3 groups. High risk group (the risk > 20%), n=46, Mid risk group (the risk at 10%-20%), n=76 and Low risk group (the risk < 10%), n=154. The cognitive function was measured by mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and China adult intelligence scale (CISA). The differences of cognitive function levels to 3 CAD risk groups were studied.
Results: With the increased CAD incidence from Low risk, Mid risk to High risk groups, the MMSE score reduced accordingly (26.9 ± 1.45) vs (24.3 ± 1.53) vs (22.2 ± 1.43), P=0.014. Pearson analysis presented that MMSE score was negatively related to Framingham risk score (r=-0.213, P<0.001). There were several elements of cognitive function related to Framingham risk score including MMSE score, question answering, grid filling, oral arithmetic and word distinguishing (r=-0.247), (r=-0.167), (r=-0.132), (r=-0.152) and (r-0.256), all P<0.05.
Conclusion: CAD risk level was negatively related to cognitive function, the higher Framingham risk score resulted in the lower cognitive function in healthy community elder subjects.

Objective To explore radiation-induced esophagitis and its related factors in the patients with local advanced non-small cell lung cancer ( NSCLC ) which were treated with three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT). Methods From January 2001 to December 2008, 203 patients who suffered from stageⅢNSCLC were achieved, including 163 males and 40 females, with a median age of 63 years old, while 79 cases were in stageⅢa and 124 in stageⅢb . The equivalent median dose of tumor was 62 Gy( range of 50-78 Gy) . Among them, 74 cases were administered with radiotherapy alone, 45 with sequential radiotherapy and chemotherapy, 87 cases with concurrent radiochemotherapy. Radiation esophagitis was evaluated with RTOG standard. The dosimetric parameters was estimated from dose volume histogrma ( DVH ) . The clinical and dosimetric parameters of radiation esophagitis were evaluated by spearman correlatived univariate and Logistic multivariable analysis. Results After radiotherapy, out of 203 patients, 87 had acute radiation esophagitis(RE), 47 in grade 1, 37 in grade 2, and 3 in grade 3 RE. According to spearman correlatived analysis, the correlatived factors included ages, chemotherapy, GTV, PTV, the mean doses of PTV and lung, the max and mean dose of esophagus, V40 , V45 ,V50 ,V55 ,V60 , length of esophagus( total circumference) treated with 45 Gy ( LETT45 ) , and LETT50 ( r=-0. 162-0. 235,P<0. 05). All the 14 factors had good correlation with RE in univariate analysis. But for other factors,such as gender, site of tumor, smoking, T, N, clinical stage, equivalent dose of tumor, style of radiation, the mean dose of GTV, LETT55 and LETT60 , there were not correlation with ≥grade 2 RE with univariate analysis(r= -0. 106-0. 122, P>0. 05). There were 21 factors, such as gender, age, smoking, clinical stage, site of tumor, chemotherapy, GTV, PTV, mean dose of PTV and lung, max and mean dose of esophagus, V40 -V60 of esophagus, LETT45-60 , incorporated into multivariable analysis, only chemotherapy and V45 of esophagus were independent predicted factors(Wald=4. 626, 9?882, P<0. 05). Conclusions In local advanced NSCLC after 3D-CRT, chemotherapy ( especially concurrent radiochemotherapy) could increase radiation-induced esophagitis. The parameter of DVH could also be used to predict radiation-induced esophagitis, V45 of esophagus may be the most valuable predictor.

Objective To investigate the effect of folic acid combined with Helicobacter pylori (Hp) eradication therapy on chronic atrophic gastritis.Methods From December 2009 to March 2011 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University,184 patients with endoscopic and pathological diagnosis of chronic atrophic gastritis (90 Hp positive and 94 Hp negative) were selected.Hp positive patients were divided into group A and group B.Forty-three patients in group A were treated with standard triple Hp eradication therapy and follow by folic acid therapy for three months.Forty-seven patients in group B and Hp negative patients received three months of folic acid therapy.The clinical symptoms of each group were scored before treatment,one month after folie acid therapy and three months after folic acid therapy and analyzed by t test. Patients of each group received gastroscopy before treatment and three months after medicine withdrawal. Endoscopic scores,pathological scores and t test were recorded.The serum levels of pepsinogen ( Ⅰ,Ⅱ ) and gastrin 17 in venous blood of 55 Hp negative patients were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method before treatment and three months after medicine withdrawal.Results Compared with three months therapy (1.15 ± 0.03),after one month folic acid therapy (1.55 ± 0.04) was statistically significant in clinical symptoms score of all patients (t =8.18,P<0.01).By the end of therapy,clinical symptom score of group A (1.06 ± 0.04) was lower than that of group B (1.56 ±0.08),and the difference was significant (t=6.00,P<0.01).There was significant difference in endoscopic scores of all patients between before treatment (1.57±0.95) and after treatment (1.00±0.76,t=11.12,P<0.01).The differences in each pathological score of all patients (inflammatory scoring,active scoring,atrophy scoring,intestinal metaplasia scoring,atypical hyperplasia degree scoring) were significant between before treatment and after treatment (t=5.51,6.90,7.53,6.34,2.90,respectively,all P<0.01).The serum level of pepsinogen Ⅰ before treatment of 55 Hp negative patients [(1.03±0.19) nmol/L] was lower than that after treatment [(2.24±0.33) nmol/L],and the difference was statistically significant (t=3.19,P<0.01).After treatment the level of gastrin 17 [(0.86±0.05) nmol/L] was higher than that before treatment [(0.47±0.05) nmol/L],and the difference was statistically significant ( t =5.33,P< 0.01 ).Conclusion Folic acid in combination with Hp eradication therapy can be favorable to atrophic gastritis,which may promote the secretion of pepsinogen and gastrin.

Objective: To study the influence of inflammatory cytokine TNF-? on the expression of adhesion molecules and specific markers of rat MSCs, and to study the optimal stimulation of MSCs with inflammatory factors in inducing adhesion molecule expression which promotes migration of MSCs to the ischemic area in liver. Methods: The MSCs stimulated with different concentration of TNF-? were detected for adhesion molecules and stem cells markers on cell surface with the method of flow-cytometry, MSCs which were stimulated with the optimal concentration of TNF-? and labeled with 1, 1-Dioctadecyl-3, 3, 3, 3-tetramethylindocarbocyanine Iodade(DiI)were delivered intravenously to the rats whose liver was injured by ischemia, the liver function of the experimented animals were tested, and liver samples in the ischemic area were obtained, the number of MSCs was counted under a fluorescent microscope. Results: Stimulated with TNF-?, MSC ex-pression of VCAM-1 increased, while that of stem cell markers did not change markedly. Exposed to lower concentration of TNF-?, the adhesion ability of MSCs obviously increased and more MSCs rested in the ischemic areas in the rat liver, compared to the control groups. Conclusions: TNF-? can increase the expression of VCAM-1 on rat MSCs while exert little effect on the stem cell character of MSCs. Suitable concentration of TNF-? can promote MSCs migration to the damaged tissue, which provides rationale for the treatment of liver disease.
