0.05].Sao and Eao was significantly different between CHD group and the control group,but Aao has not significant different.③Sao positively correlated with ascending aortic distensibility coefficient(D)(r=0.73,P=0.03),and negatively correlated with aortic stiffness(?)(r=-0.68,P=0.03).Conclusion:Elastic properties of the aorta can directly be assessed by measuring the movements in the upper wall of the aorta with DTI.Reduced aortic S-velocity is significantly correlated with Ascending aortic distensibility coefficient(D) and stiffness index beta(?),which are important factors in assessing the changes of the aortic distensibility.

Objective To observe plasma resistin levels in patients with essential hypertension (HT) of Xinjiang Kazakans and Han nationalities, and explore its association with insulin resistance (IR), blood glucose, blood lipids, blood pressure and obesity. Methods Total 127 Kazakan cases and 131 Han cases were selected as the subjects. According to their blood pressure, they were divided into HT group of Kazakans, control group of Kazakans, HT group of Hans and control group of Hans. Blood pressure, height, weight, waist circum-ference (WC) and hip were measured. Plasma resistin, fasting insulin(FINS), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), total cholesterol (TC), tri-glyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( LDL-C), apoprotein-A1( Apo-A1)and apoprotein-B(Apo-B) were determined. Body mass index (BMI), waist-hip ratio ( WHR), body fat percentage ( BF% )and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index ( HOMA-IR) were calculated. Results Plasma resistin levels in the HT groups of Kazakans and Hans were significantly higher than those in their control groups ( P<0.01 ). There were no significant difference in the comparison of plasma resistin levels in HT groups or control groups between Kazakans and Hans ( P>0.05). Plasma resistin was posi-tively and significandy correlated with age, systolic blood pressure (SBP), WC, BMI, WHR, BF%, FlaG, FINS, HOMA-IR, TG in HT groups of Kazakans and Hans ( HT group of Kazakans, r=0.492,0.296,0.281,0.648,0.263,0.515,0.742,0.759,0.797,0.595; HT group of Hans, r=0.417,0.275,0.391,0.483,0.278,0.318,0.453,0.560,0.641,0.310; P<0.05). After the influential factors such as age, blood glucose, blood lipids and obesity were adjusted, plasma resistin level in four groups were still positively and significantly corre-lated with FINS and HOMA-IR ( HT group of Kazakans, r=0.432,0.410 ; control group of Kazakans, r=0.327,0.305 ; HT group of Hans, r=0.426,0.425 ; control group of Hans, r=0.377,0.392 ; P<0.05), but not correlated with SBP or DBP( P>0.05 ). HOMA-IR, FPG and BMI were independent factors for plasma resistin level in HT group of Kazakans, while HOMA-IR, FlaG and BF% were inde-pendent factors for plasma resistin level in HT group of Hans. Conclusion Plasma resistin level was increased in patients with HT of Kaza-karts and Hans. Close correlations between resistin and obesity, blood glucose and IR were found, and there may be indirect correlation be-tween resistin and blood pressure.

Objective To explore the effects of multidisciplinary comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation on aged patients with pneumo-coniosis. Methods From January, 2012 to January, 2015, 85 old stable inpatients with pneumoconiosis were divided into control group (n=40) and rehabilitation group (n=45). Both groups accepted routine medicine, while the rehabilitation group received multidisciplinary com-prehensive pulmonary rehabilitation for twelve weeks. They were assessed with cardiopulmonary exercise test, BODE index and quality of life before and after treatment. Results The maximum work, maximal oxygen uptake, 6-minute walk distance, scores of modified Version of the British Medical Researsh Council Respiratory Questionnaire, BODE index, activities of daily living, social activities, depression and anx-iety improved in the rehabilitation group after treatment (t>3.379, P<0.01), and were better than those in the control group (t>2.201, P<0.05). No imporvement was found in all the indices in the control group after treatment (t<2.339, P>0.05). Conclusion Multidisciplinary comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation can effectively improve exercise tolerance and quality of life in aged patients with pneumoconiosis.

OBJECTIVETo describe the intake of fruit and vegetables among employed migrant population aged 18 to 59 year-olds in China.

METHODSData from the Migrant Population Survey related to China Chronic Disease and Risk Factor Surveillance that conducted in 170 counties/districts in 31 provinces, 2012, was used. Information on non-communicable diseases and related risk factors among migrant population were collected through face-to-face questionnaire interview, physical measurement and lab tests. A total of 48 704 subjects aged 18 to 59 years old were included in our study. Sample was standardized by age and sex. Information on average daily fruit and vegetables intake, prevalence of low fruit and vegetables intake, grouped by sex, age, industries, and education level were analyzed.

RESULTSThe average daily intakes of vegetables and fruits were 353.7 (95%CI:351.3-356.2) g and 125.1 (95%CI:123.4-126.9) g respectively, among the employed migrant population aged 18-59 years old in China. Prevalence of low fruit and vegetables intake was 44.1% (95% CI:43.5%-44.6% ) among employed migrant population, 46.2% (95% CI: 45.5%-47.0%)for males and 41.2% (95% CI:40.3%-42.0%)for females (χ(2) = 82.19, P < 0.05). Among different professions, the prevalence of low fruit and vegetables intake was the highest among people working in accommodation and restaurants (46.2%, 95%CI:45.0%-47.3%) while the lowest seen among those working in social services (42.5%, 95%CI:41.4%-43.7%,χ(2) = 15.81, P < 0.05). The prevalence of low fruit and vegetables intake showed a decrease along with the increase of education levels (χ(2) = 22.29, P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONIn 2012, more than 40% of the employed migrant population aged 18 to 59 years old in China had low fruit and vegetables intake. Being male and with low education level were risk factors linked with the higher prevalence of low fruit and vegetables intake.
