With the development of aging population,the rational drug use in old people was paid more attention nowadays. So far, a number of studies in Europe, Asia and North America showed that lots of prescriptions with potential irrational drug use could be found out using STOPP & START criteria. In China, there is no systematic tool for guiding the rational drug use in old people yet, therefore, we can learn the content of STOPP&START criteria and use them for reference to promote the rational drug use in Chinese old people and lay the foundation for establishing rational drug use judgment criteria suitable for Chinese old people.

Total 406 community residents entered in fitness improvement program with “management by objectives model of health promotion” from 2009 to 2011.The fitness status was monitored by Xuhui Physical Constitution Center before and after entering the program.The results showed that the level of fitness assessment,the composite score,lung capacity and reaction time were improved with the years (P < 0.01) ; the step index and sitting-and-reach test in 2010 was better than those in 2009(P < 0.01) ; the grip strength in 2010 and 2011 was better than that in 2009 (P < 0.01); the test of single leg-standing with closing eyes in 2011 was better than that in 2009(P < 0.05).There was no difference in body mass index before and after program (P > 0.05).The results indicate that physical fitness and overall health can be improved by management by objectives model for health promotion.

Objective To study effect of TCM-based syndrome differentiation combined with diet nursing and point massage on insomnia.Methods Five hundred and twelve patients with insomnia were randomized into control group(n=85)and intervention group (n=67).The patients in both groups received treatment by TCM-based syndrome differentiation.Besides,the control group was given conventional nursing while those in the intervention group received diet nursing and point massage.The two groups were compared in three months in terms of sleep quality and curative effect.Results In comparisons of sleep quality index,the two groups both had statistically significant improvements respectively(both P<0.05).In terms of time to sleep, duration of sleep an sleep efficacy and Pittsburg sleep quality index,the intervention group scored significantly lower than the control group(all P<0.05).In terms of curative effect,the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The method of TCM-based syndrome differentiation combined with diet nursing and point massage is effective in improving the sleep quality of those with insomnia.

Objective:To investigate the relationship of the expression of VEGF-C and the metastasis of the lymphoid nodes in laryngeal cancer.Methods:Using immunohistochemistry method, the expression of VEGF-C in the tumor tissues and the density of lymphatic in adjacent tissue of laryngeal carcinoma were detected.Results:The expression of VEGF-C in laryngeal carcinoma was higher than in vocal cord polyp and in lymphoid node-positive was higher than in node-negative. Density of lymphatic capillary in adjacent tissue of laryngeal carcinoma was much higher than in normal laryngeal tissue and in lymphoid node-positive was higher than in node-negative.Conclusion:VEGF-C protein expression is close to lymphatic metastasis.

Objective The purpose of this study was to analyze the alterations of T_1、T_2 lymphocyte subsets in the peripheral blood of patients with colorectal cancer. MethodsTwenty patients with primary colorectal cancer were enrolled into this study, T_1 and T_2 in the peripheral blood were evaluated by detecting the intracellular interferon-? and interleukin-4 production with 4-color flow cytometry. ResultsThe percentage of T_1 and T_2 in the peripheral blood of cancer patients was lower significantly than healthy controls [(36?11)% and 3.3(1.9)% vs. (46?12)% and 4.1(3.1)%](P

Objective To investigate the effect of the genotypic analysis of donor from cardiac death donation on the initial dose of Tac for liver transplant recipients and provide individualized administration for the early use of Tac in liver transplantation patients.Method Thirty recipients with a different genotype of CYP3A5 from cardiac death donors were collected from March 2010 to February 2013.The matched recipients were randomly divided into experiment group and control group.There was an adjustment of initial doses of Tac according to the donors' different CYP3A5 genotypes in experiment group but not in control group.Result In experiment and control groups,the average Tac blood concentrations at the 7th day after operation were (7.47 ± 1.83) and (8.68 ± 5.14) ng/mL,and the percent of recipeints reaching the optimal Tac concentrations was 72.2% and 38.9%,respectively (P<0.05).In experiment and control groups,22.2% and 55.6% recipients needed adjustments of Tac concentrations respectively (P<0.05).Conclusion Individualized adjustment of Tac initial doses of recipients according to cardiac death donors' different CYP3A5 genotypes was benefit for reaching optimal concentrations as soon as possible and could decrease the rate of rejection,and reduce the side effects of Tac.

Objective To compare proximal femoral nail(PFN)introduction by percutaneous K-wire through a small incision with conventional PFN introduction protocol in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures. Methods From January 2004 to March 2005,51 patients with intertrochanteric fractures were randomly dis- tributed into a minimally invasive treatment group(group MI)and a conventional treatment group(group C).All the fractures were closely reduced.In group MI a K-wire was percutaneously inserted through the tip of the greater troehanter into the center of medullary canal of the pruximal femur before the PFN was inserted under the guidance of K-wire through a small incision made along the K-wire while in group C the PFN was introduced according to the conventional procedure.The operation time,intra-operative blood loss,length of incision,X-ray exposure,duration of in-patient stay and time of bone union in both groups were recorded and compared.Results The mean oper- ation time,mean intraoperative blood loss and mean length of incisions in group MI were 77.20 min,104.20 mL and 5.12 cm respectively and significantly lower than those in group C(P<0.01).The X-ray exposure and the reduction time in group MI lasted longer than in group C(P<0.01).The mean time of bone union and in-patient stay in both groups were nearly equal(P>0.05).At the latest tollow-up,all the fractures united in both groups without nonuuion or delayed union.Conclusion Compared with the conventional protocol,introduction of PFN by a pereutaneuus K-wire inserted into the central medullary canal of the proximal femur is much more minimally in- vasive and effective.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic and therapeutic characteristics of prostate cancer with prostate specific antigen(PSA)4-10?g/L. Methods The data of prostate biopsies for the patients with PSA 4-10?g/L from May 1998 to February 2004 and the treatment and prognosis of these patients were retrospectively analyzed. Results In the 141 cases, 34 were diagnosed as prostate cancer, including 3 cT1, 21 cT2, 6 cT3 and 4 cT4. Mean Gleason score was 5.8, and the mean Gleason scores of cT1 and cT2 were significantly lower than those of cT3 and cT4. Twenty-four cases of cT1 and cT2 underwent radical prostatectomy. Four cases of cT3 recieved radical prostateetomy after 4 months of neoadjuvant endocrine therapy. Two cases of cT3 and 4 cT4 received castration. Pathological section from radical surgeries showed that 21 cases were organ confined and 7 were locally invasive. The difference of mean Gleason score between these two groups was significant in statistics. After 18 to 69 months (mean 42 months)follow-up, 21 organ confined cases were free survived, 4 locally invasive cases had biochemical recurrence and 1 case had multifocal bone metastasis. No cancer-specific death happened. Two of 4 cT4 cases were still alive and 2 died of the tumor. Conclusions Routine needle biopsy is necessary for the cases with“grave area”PSA of 4~10 ?g/L. Prostate cancers with PSA 4~10/?g/L are not always early diseases. Gleason score is a very important index for determine the stage of pathology after surgery. Radical prostatectomy is an effective treatment for organ confined disease.
