Objective To study the awareness of perimenopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) among a part of the medical care personnel in Guiyang . Methods A survey was conducted among 500 medical staff members in 4 hospitals of Guiyang by cluster random sampling using questionnaire about HRT. Results The survey showed that 74.6% (373/500) medical staff thought that the hormone replacement therapy was necessary to perimenopausal women; 96.7% (87/90) of obstetrics and gynecology doctors believed that it was necessary for perimenopausal women to use HRT,which was significantly higher than the doctors of other specialties 68.6% (166/242) and the nurses group 71.4% (120/168) (χ2=28.509, 23.537, P<0.01). Only 5.8%(29/500) of the medical personnel were willing to recommend HRT. In light of the attitude for recommending HRT, the obstetricians and gynecologists group was more significantly higher than the other specialties doctors group (χ2=86.781, P<0.01). Conclusion The knowledge of hormone replacement therapy in part of Guiyang medical personnel is not sufficient;the recommending rate of HRT was low;the side effects of HRT was still a concern. There are differences between obstetrics and gynecology doctors and doctors other specialties and nurses in HRT knowledge.

Objective To evaluate the detection of serum pepsinogen (PG) in screening of gastric cancer. Methods (1) To calculate the detection rate of gastric cancer in PG Positive patients from northeastern, noah-western and northern China. (2) To determine the PG positive rate in patients with chronic superficial and atrophic gastritis. (3) To calculate the detection rate of gastric cancer, H. pylori infection and esophageal cancer in PG positive patients from gastric cancer high risk areas. Results (1) The detection rate of gastric cancer in PC, positive patients from Changchun (northeastern China), Xihing (northwestern China) and Beijing ( northern China) was 22. 58%, 25. 2% and 0, respectively. The sensitivity of PG to seeen gastric cancer in Changchun and Xihing was 50. 9% and 35.6%, and the specificity was 82. 56% and 85.69%, respectively. (2) Only 25% of patients with chronic atrophic gastritis were PG positive. (3) The serum PG level was measured in 2346 cases from gastric cancer high risk areas, and PG positive rate was 27.02% (634/2346), in which 496 patients (76. 65%, 496/634) received endoscopy, and gastric cancer was detected in 10 (2. 02%, 10/496), including 9 cases of early gastric caner. The prevalence of gastric cancer was 0. 43% in common population and 1.58% in PG positive population. The infection rate of H. pylori was 70. 73% in 2346 subjects and 2 cases of esophageal cancer, including 1 case of early cancer was diagnosed. Conclusion Serum PG level cannot be used as a marker for gastric cancer or atrophic gastritis, while it may be of value for gastric cancer screening in high risk areas.

Objective To establish transgenic mice model with over expression of neuritin in bone mar-row,for the further study on the function of neuritin protein in the treatment of peripheral neuropathy. Methods Two pairs of transgenic mice(loxp-stop-loxp-neuritin and lyz-Cre/+)were fed and propagated,the DNA from the mice tails extracted and the genotype of transgenic mice identified by PCR. The wild type mice with B6 were as-signed as the controls,and the immunofluorescence was used to detect the accuracy of the neuritinloxp/+ _lyz -Cre/+. Results The two trensgenetic homozygous mice had the ability to reproduce,and the hybrid offsprings were neuritinloxp/+_lyz-Cre/+,neuritinloxp/-_lyz-Cre/+,neuritinloxp/+_lyz-Cre/-,neuritinloxp/-_lyz-Cre/-. The re-sults were met with the Mendel′s law. The results of immunofluorescence showed that the expression of neuritin of neuritinloxp/+_lyz-Cre/+ mice in bone marrow was significantly higher than the wild type mice(P < 0.05). Con-clusion The PCR method is of high reliability for identification of sub pus genotype and the female neuritinloxp/+mice mating with the male lyz-Cre/+ ones is an effective way for obtaining the neuritinloxp/+_lyz-Cre/+ mice.

Objective To investigate the effects of α-linolenic acid (ALA) on acute inflammation and neurological functional recovery of mice with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods The C57BL6/N mice were divided into high ALA dietary group (20 pregnant and 88 new-born mice) and low ALA dietary group (20 pregnant and 84 new-born mice) in this study. The contents of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the brain of the two groups were detected by gas chromatography. Mouse TBI model was established by control cortical impact method. The expression levels of inflammatory cytokines and cellular markers of the two groups were detected by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay or Western Blotting at 0, 4, 24 and 96 h after TBI, respectively. The neurological functions were analyzed by the rotarod, beam walk test and fear conditioning experiment. Results The content of brain docosahexoenoic acid (DHA) was significantly higher in the high ALA dietary group than in the low ALA dietary group (15.48±1.20% vs 9.98±1.10%, P<0.05). The expression levels of TNF-α, IL-1β , IL-6 and CCL12 were lower in high ALA groups than in low ALA group after TBI (P<0.05). The motor function recovery 24 h after TBI was faster in the high ALA dietary group than in the lower ALA diet group. The cognitive function 24 h after TBI was better in the high ALA dietary group than in the low ALA group. Conclusion Increasing DHA levels in the brain can reduce acute inflammation and improve neurological function recovery after TBI.

Objective To study and compare the efficacy of surgery and conservative treatments for patients with critical(30 to 50 ml) spontaneous deep supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage. Methods The clinical data of 420 patients diagnosed as spontaneous deep supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage in Affiliated Hospital of Yan'an and Central Hospital of Baoji from August 2011 to September 2016 in this study were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were divided into surgery group(210 cases) and conservative group(210 cases) according to the difference of treatment methods. Large trauma craniotomy was used by the operation group, external ventricular drainage as the standby in necessary. The treatment of conservative group mainly included reduction of intracranial pressure, blood pressure management, prevention of complications and other individualized treatment. The primary outcome was neurological functional status of patients at 6 months of discharging, and the secondary outcomes included the mortality at 1 month and 6 months of discharging, and complications. Continuous data were presented as (x)± s and were compared using the t test, while categorical data were presented as number and percentage and were compared using the χ2 test. Results No obvious difference on mRS score and NIHSS score occurred between two groups(All P>0.05). Stratified analysis, patients with midline shift >5 mm and with intraventricular hemorrhage were more likely to have a favorable outcome from surgery compared with conservative group(18.2% vs.8.1%, X =4.099, P=0.043; 17.3% vs.5.0%, χ2 =4.836, P=0.028). The mortality at 1 month days and 6 months in surgery group were significantly lower than that in conservative group(19.0% vs.31.0%, X2 =7.937, P=0.005; 23.8% vs.36.7%, X2=8.228, P=0.004). Meanwhile, the incidence of pulmonary infection and with long-term pipe in surgery group were significantly higher than those in conservative group(31.9% vs.15.7%, X2 =15. 173, P=0.000; 28.6% rs.19.5% =4.706, P=0.030). Conclusion Surgery can reduce the 1 month and 6 months mortality in patients with spontaneous deep supratentorial hemorrhage and improve the functional outcomes in patients with large midline shift or with intraventricular hemorrhage compared with conservative treatment.
