Objective To understand the characteristics of High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) distribution through analyzing serum HDL-C levels in healthy checkup subjects among local urbanese.Methods The checkup results of 36 454 cases were collected from 2009 to 2013 in Tangshan Gongren hospital (male:n =20 343,female:n =16 111).The cases with liver injury,abnormal blood glucoses,kidney injury and defined cerebrovascular diseases and metabolic disease were excluded.25 197 cases were analyzed as normal subjects including 11 114 males and 14 083 females.Kolmogorov-Smimov test,kruskal-wallis test,and Dunn multiple comparison test was performed using Bioconductor software 3.0.2 for testing normality distribution and comparing the difference of two or multiple groups,respectively.Results were analyzed statistically with R 3.0.2.Results The results showed that the average level (1.22-± 0.31) mmol/L of HDL-C among the overall population is lower than that of national average level(1.30 mmol/L).The median serum HDL-C level in female is higher than in male (1.27 and 1.08,x2 =2 606.34,P ＜0.01).HDL-C levels in male continuously increase from 1.06 mmol/L to 1.11 mmol/L with aging,especially in groups of over 50 years old than in groups of below 50 years old (x2 =75.19,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions Based on 2007 guidance on prevention and treatment by national health bureau,this study showed that there are 29.69％ of the apparent healthy subjects,especially about 42.94％ of the male,representing low HDL-C level under the low limit of 1.04 mmol/L.These results showed that serum HDL-C level in Tangshan urbanese is lower than that of national average level,and HDL-C level in male is tended to increase with aging.

Objective To explore the relationship between gene MTDH expression and its role in promo-ting gastric carcinoma metastasis .Methods We collected clinical specimens and cultured gastric carcinoma cell lines.By Western blotting and Real -time PCR methods,protein and mRNA levels in tissues and MTDH relation-ship with EMT were detected .Results There was 86%of patients who expressed MTDH positively and 13%of normal gastric mucosa was positive expression .The results showed that the expressive level of MTDH gene in gas-tric carcinoma was higher than in the normal tissues .The expression of MTDH was correlated with TNM stage、mi-crovascular invasion、recurrence and metastasis .The expressive level of MTDH was correlated with two epithelial mesenchymal transition markers ( E-cadherin and N-cadherin ) .Conclusion MTDH may promote gastric car-cinoma metastasis through the induction of EMT process and may be a candidate biomarker for therapeutic target .

Objective To explore the distribution characteristics of plasma renin concentration in patients with hypertension and the possibly methodological problems.Methods The subjects including 361 patients with hypertension[male: 184 cases, average age: (45.16±13.74)years old;female: 177 cases, average age: (51.04±12.68) years old]and 187 apparent healthy individuals[male: 92 cases, average age: (46.74±13.17)years old;female: 95 cases, average age: (47.33±13.18) years old]were recruited from Departments of Healthy Check-up and outpatients for hypertension in Tangshan Gongren Hospital. The plasma renin concentration was detected by chemiluminescence-Immunoassay.Results The plasma renin concentration shows log-transformed normal distribution both in healthy group and hypertension group. The range of plasma renin concentration in hypertension group is from 0.05 to 574.07 pg/ml, while that in apparent healthy group is from 3.24 to 120.40 pg/ml. The plasma renin concentration in both groups is higher in male than female (Hypertension t=2.19,P=0.029;Healthy people t=2.85,P=0.005). The average concentration of plasma renin in hypertension group is slightly higher, and the width of density distribution is larger in comparison with healthy group although there is no significant difference between them. However, the percentage of plasma renin abnormality was 26.59% (96/361) in hypertension group with 13.85%(50/361)of low renin subtype and 12.74%(46/361)of high renin subtype ConclusionsThe plasma renin concentration measured by Chemiluminescence-Immunoassay can be used as an effective tool for hypertension screening.

Objective:To investigate the safety and clinical efficacy of laparoscopy dominated approaches to two different local resections for duodenal stromal tumors.Methods:From May 2015 to May 2021 25 duodenal stromal tumors cases were allocated to wedged resection group (8 cases) and segmental resection (17cases).Results:Compared with the segmental resection group, the operative time in the wedge resection group was significantly shorter [(202±43) min vs. (299±128) min, t=-2.814, P=0.010]. The intraoperative blood loss was 20 (10-50) ml in the wedge resection group and 30 (15-100) ml in the segmental resection group ( t=-1.128, P>0.05). Patients in the wedge resection group had a significantly shorter postoperative hospital stay, 7(9-11) days vs. 14 (10-28) days, t=-2.66, P=0.008. There was no difference in the incidence of postoperative complications and gastric emptying disorders between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:In spite of laparoscopic,robotic or open approaches, wedge resection and segmental resection based on anatomic location for duodenal stromal tumors are both safe and satisfactory.
