Objective To learn the change of causes sequences, the pattern and dynamic trend of causes of death for the inhabitants in Jiaxing from 2009 to 2014, and to provide a major reference for health decisions and disease control and prevention. Method This study was based on chronic disease surveillance information management data in Zhejiang province from 2009 to 2014. ICD-10 criteria and method was used to classify the causes of death. To evaluate health status of those residents, the relative health indicators such as mortality rate, constituent ratio, PYLL, AYLL, PYLL‰were used. Results The average mortality rate of residents was 691.92/100 000 of Jiaxing from 2009 to 2014, with male 760.73/100 000 and female 624.64/100 000 (the average mortality rate of male was significantly higher than that of female, χ2=455.52, P<0.01). The top five causes of death of local residents were malignant neoplasm, respiratory system diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, injury and poisoning, heart diseases, which accounted for 87.95%of all deaths. The mortality caused by malignant neoplasm was 189.53/100 000, which accounted for 31.90% of five main death causes (the rate of male was significantly higher than that of female, χ2=3767.70, P<0.01). The PYLL of malignant neoplasm were 38 368 years, which was the main reason. The AYLL of injury and poisoning were 9.58 years. Conclusion The average mortality rate of residents has been declining across the Jiaxing, but the mortality rate of malignant neoplasm is increasing year by year. The data suggested that malignant neoplasm, cardiovascular disease, unintentional falls, motor vehicle traffic accidents and pneumonia are major factors affecting the health of the population.

Objective To evaluate the effect of total alkaloids of Sophora alopecuroides L on the nervous behavior and the expression of neurotransmitters in rats. Methods 48 male SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups:blank group,total alkaloids of Sophora alopecuroides L treatment with 4 mg·kg-1 ·d-1 ( low dose group) ,8 mg·kg-1 ·d-1( medium dose group) and 16 mg·kg-1 ·d-1( high dose group) groups. After successive intragastric administration for 30 days,the locomotor activity was applied to test the nervous behavior and emotional state of rats in each group. After behavioral tests were finished,the contents of trypto-phan (Trp),5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP),5-serotonin (5-HT),5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), norepinephrine (NE),epinephrine (E) and dopamine (DA) were detected by ELISA in serum and brain. Results In the experiment of locomotor activity,compared with blank group ((95.33±12.75) times),the numbers of horizontal movement of Sophora alopecuroides L in medium and high dose group ( ( 61. 64 ± 5.91),(64.62±5.79)times both P<0.05) were significantly reduced (P<0.05, P<0.01).Compared with the blank group ((4.33±0.66) times),the numbers of vertical motion of Sophora alopecuroides L in medium and high dose group ((3.05±0.09)times,(3.77±0.69)times) were significantly reduced (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with blank group ((2.25±0.39) number),the granule number in high dose group ((3.38±0.40) number) were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01),and emotional stress degree increased. Meanwhile,compared with blank group,the content detection of 5-HT,5-HIAA in different dose groups of the total alkaloids of Sophora alopecuroides L was improved obviously(P<0.01),but there was no significant effect on the content of Trp,5-HTP,NE,E,DA(P>0.05). Correlation analysis indicated that the degree of au-tonomic activity in rats with the content of 5-HT,5-HIAA and DA in serum was negatively correlated (P<0.05, P<0.01) ,the degree of emotional stress and the content of 5-HT,5-HIAA in brain was negatively cor-related (P<0.05, P<0.01) . Conclusion The total alkaloids of Sophora alopecuroides L can reduce the ac-tivity of rats and increase the degree of emotional stress. And the mechanism may be correlated with the in-creasing level of 5-HT and 5-HIAA in serum and brain.

Objective:To study the relation of angiogenesis with cell proliferative postenti al in human meningiomas.Methods:Expression of factor Ⅷ-related antigen (FⅧRAg) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) was detected by immunohistochemistry in 38 specimens of human meningiomas,including 14 benign,12 atypical and 12 anaplastic (malignant) menningiomas and the correlation of microvessel density (MVD) with PCNA labellin g index (PCNA LI) was analyzed.Results:There was no significant difference in MVD between benign and atypical m eningiomas (P>0.05).MVD was higher in analplastic meningiomas than in both benign and atypical tumors (P<0.01).PCNA LI was markedly higher in anaplast ic meningiomas than in benign and atypical tumors (P<0.01). A significant c orrelation between MVD and PCNA LI was not detected in benign tumors;whereas,MVD positively correlated with PCNA LI in both atypical (r=0.518,P<0.01) and a naplastic (r=0.358,P<0.01) meningiomas. Conclusion:Angiogenesis is linked to cell proliferative potential in both atypic al and anaplastic meningiomas.

Objective To evaluate the role of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium (mitoKATP) channel in mitigation of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury by isoflurane preconditioning in rats and the relationship with c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway.Methods Thirty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 280-320 g,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =8 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S),group I/R,isoflurane preconditioning group (group Ⅰ-pre),and 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD,a selective mitoKATP channel antagonist) group.Cerebral I/R was produced by modified 4-vessel technique described by Pulsinelli in anesthetized rats.In group Ⅰ-pre,the rats were exposed to 1.5％ isoflurane for 1 h everyday for 5 consecutive days before ischemia.In group 5-HD,5-HD 15 mg/kg was injected intraperitoneally at 30 min before ischemia and the other procedures were similar to those previously described in group Ⅰ-pre.Neurological behavior was evaluated at 24 h of reperfusion.The rats in each group were sacrificed at 72 h of reperfusion,and the brains were removed for determination of neuronal apoptosis (by TUNEL) and expression of caspase-3 and phosphor-JNK (p-JNK) protein (using Western blot) in hippocampal tissues.Apoptotic rate was calculated.Results Compared with group S,the number of grid cross was significantly decreased,hanging time was shortened,apoptotic rate was increased,and caspase-3 expression was up-regulated in I/R,Ⅰ-pre and 5-HD groups,the expression of p-JNK protein was up-regulated in IR and 5-HD groups,and no significant change was found in the expression of p-JNK protein in group Ⅰ-pre.Compare with group I/R,the number of grid cross was significantly increased,hanging time was prolonged,apoptotic rate was decreased,and the expression of caspase-3 and p-JNK protein was downregulated in group Ⅰ-pre,and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group 5-HD.Compared with group Ⅰ-pre,the number of grid cross was significantly decreased,hanging time was shortened,apoptotic rate was increased,and the expression of caspase-3 and p-JNK protein was up-regulated in group 5-HD.Conclusion The mitoKATP channel is involved in mitigation of cerebral I/R injury by isoflurane preconditioning through blocking the JNK signaling pathway in rats.

Objective To discuss anatomical characteristics and clinical results of the lateral superior genicular artery perforator iliotibial band flap. Methods From September 1999 to July 2009, the origin,course, branches and distribution of the lateral superior genicular artery and blood supply of iliotibial band were observed on 40 sides adult lower limbs perfused with red latax. Five perforator iliotibial band and 4 perforator iliotibial band flaps of 9 cases were treated with anastomosis of lateral superior genicular artery perforating rami. Results The lateral superior genicular artery of 35 cases (80%) originates from the popliteal artery. Its originated external diameter was (1.8 ± 0.4) mm. It divides into ascending branch and descending branch, and they gives off septofascio-cutaneous perforator, or anatomoses the lateral uppermost genicular artery in the vastus lateralis muscle, and then formes the musculocutaneous perforator of iliotibial band. The originated external diameter of the larger perforator of iliotibial bands was ( 1.0 ± 0.2) mm and they provides for the skin and iliotibial band of lateral superior genicular area. Nine cases, including 5 cases of simple Achilles tendon defects, two cases of achilles tendon defects with skin defects, and 2 cases of lower extremity and foot soft tissue defects were treated with transplantation of the vascularized iliotibial band (flap) with perforator vascular anastomoses. All cases were followed up 6 - 92 months. The results showed significant improvement in "heel test" and Thompson sign in the rerupture of the Achilles tendon occurred. Four perforator iliotibial band flaps survived well. Conclusion The lateral superior genicular artery perforator iliotibial band flap is a practical, simple and new donor in the reconstruction of soft tissue and composite defects.

Objective To profile the phenotype and pathogens of cutaneous and mucous mycoses in a dermatology outpatient clinic in Nanchang region. Methods A review was performed to assess cutaneous and mucous mycoses diagnosed in the dermatology outpatient clinic of Dermatology Hospital of Jiangxi Province from 2006 to 2008. The relationship of clinical phenotype and pathogens to season, patients' age and gender was analyzed. Results A total of 7251 cases were collected, and the ratio of male to female patients was 2.3: 1. The most prevalent mycoses included tinea cruris (2702, 37.1%), pityriasis versicolor (1505, 20.8%) and tinea manus (727, 10.0%). In total, 4953 fungal strains were isolated from all the patients except for those with pityriasis versicolor, of them, Trichophyton rubrum accounted to 69.9%, Candida to 20.4%, and Trichophyton violaceum to 4.5%. Season, patients' age and gender were found to be associated with clinical phenotypes and pathogens of mycoses. Conclusions In the dermatology outpatient clinic of Nanchang region, tinea cruris is the most common superficial fungal disease, with the predominant pathogen being Trichophyton rubrum. Trichophyton violaceum is the primary pathogen of tinea capitis, which is different from other reports.

Objective To evaluate the effects of branched-chain amino acids-enriched early parenteral and enteral nutrition on the liver function and serum aminograms in cirrhotic rats after partial hepatectomy. Methods In this prospective randomized controlled study, 24 cirrhotic rats, induced by thioacetamide, were randomized into three groups: enteral nutrition (EN) group, EN + branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) group, and parenteral nutrition (PN) + BCAA group. After receiving partial hepatectomy, rats in all three groups were nutritionally supported with equal amount of calorie and nitrogen contents from the 1st postoperative day ( PO day 1 ) to PO day 5. On PO day 6, parameters including body weight, liver functions, prealbumin, transferring, and serum aminograms were measured or determined, and the level of liver albumin mRNA was detected by reversal transcription-polymerase chain reaction and morphological examinations such as HE staining and immunohistochemical staining, which were assessed by index of Ki67 protein index. Results Body weight was significantly decreased in all three groups on PO day 6 (P ＜0.05 ). Compared with EN + BCAA group, serum aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase after partial hepatectomy were significantly higher in PN + BCAA group (P ＜0.05 ). Serum alkaline phosphatase level was significantly higher in PN + BCAA group than in EN group ( P ＜0. 05). The level of prealbumin was significantly lower in PN + BCAA group when compared with EN group or EN +BCAA group ( both P ＜ 0. 05 ), although no such significant difference was noted in terms of transferrin ( P ＞0. 05 ). The levels of leucine and isoleucine elevated while those of tyrosine, phenylalanine, arginine and tryptophan declined in PN + BCAA group or EN + BCAA group when compared with EN group ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). Aminograms were not significantly different between EN + BCAA group and PN + BCAA group ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). Levels of total amino acid and aromatic amino acid (AAA) were significantly lower while BCAA and ratio between BCAA and AAA (BCAA/AAA) were significantly higher in PN + BCAA group or EN + BCAA group than in EN group (P ＜ 0. 05 ).Significantly lower level of albumin mRNA and index of Ki67 were observed in PN + BCAA group than in EN group or EN + BCAA group (P ＜ 0.05 ) on PO day 6. Conclusions BCAA-enriched EN or PN reverses amino acid disequilibrium and restores BCAA/AAA in cirrhotic rats after partial hepatectomy. Compared with PN, EN is superior in improving postoperative liver function, promoting protein synthesis, and speed up tissue regeneration in the postoperative liver. However, it still can not restore serum albumin in a short term.

Objective To compare radiation doses to patients between rotational angiography and standard angiography.Methods According to different modes,our experiment was divided into RA (Dual-axis Rotational Angiography) group and SA (Standard Angiography) group.The latter was divided into 3 subgroups (SA1,SA2 and SA3) in terms of different time of cine.The procedure time and the position were controlled by the order preset into the machine.Each group consisted of 10 repeated operations with a unique phantom to simulate the true patients.The radiation doses were measured by using dose meter provided by the machine and TLD system; the means of the data were compared.Results The mean of total accumulated DAP and AK in group RA were 3 061.6 mGy·cm2 and 64.2 mGy,respectively,compared with group SA1 (4 213.9 mGy·cm2 and 85.5 mGy),SA2 (6 436.0 mGy·cm2 and 112.2 mGy),SA3 (12 810.4 mGy·cm2 and 243.7 mGy).The mean of accumulated dose in group RA was 37.70 mGy,higher than group SA1 (26.56 mGy) but lower than group SA2 (46.86 mGy) and SA3 (77.79 mGy).The gap between highest dose and lowest dose in RA group was insignificant whereas significant in the subgroups of SA.Conclusions In comparison with conventional angiography,the dual-axis rotational angiography has the potential to reduce radiation exposure of patients significantly so as to prevent skin radiation injures.
