Objective To investigate the correlation of short-term systolic blood pressure variability (SBPV) with esti?mated glomeruar filtration rate (eGFR) in the elderly. Methods In physical examination for the third time of kailuan group, the method of cluster sampling was used to collect randomly retired employees, age≥60 in kailuan group. The 24-hour am?bulatory blood pressure monitoring was given to these objects. Finally, 1 405 participants with integral data were recruited in?to the survey. SBPV indices were standard deviation of systolic blood pressure (SD), variability independent of the mean (VIM), maximum-minimum difference (MMD), and average real variability (ARV). Multivariate stepwise linear regression models were used to analyze the influence of short-term SBPV on eGFR. Results (1) Among 1 405 participants (67.16 ± 5.82) years, 933 individuals (66.4%) were male and 472 (33.6%) were female. (2) Study population were divided into four groups based on the 24-hour mean SBP, daytime mean SBP, night time mean SBP (group 1:mean SBP<120 mmHg, group 2:120≤mean SBP<140 mmHg, group 3:140≤mean SBP<160 mmHg, group 4:mean SBP≥160 mmHg), respectively. Values of SD, MMD and ARV, but not VIM were increased with increased mean SBP. (3) The participants were grouped according to the median SBPV with between-group comparison of the eGFR. The average eGFR levels were lower in the high 24-hour SB?PV group (SD, VIM, MMD and ARV), day-time SBPV group (SD, VIM, MMD and ARV) and night-time SBPV group (SD, MMD and ARV) than those in the low SBPV groups (P<0.05). (4) Multivariate stepwise linear regression showed that eGFR increased with 3 indices of 24-hour SBPV (SD, MMD and ARV) and 2 indices of day-time SBPV (MMD and ARV) but not for night-time SBPV (β=-0.07,-0.11,-0.07,-0.12 and-0.07, respectively). Conclusion There is a certain degree of asso?ciation between short-term SBPV indices and eGFR.

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects on acute and chronic inflammation ofHuamoyan Granules(HMYG).Methods KM mice and SD rats were randomly divided into model group, ibuprofen group and HMYG high, middle and low three dosages groups. The Ibuprofen group was administrated drug by gavage, mice 0.13 g/kg and rats 0.093 g/kg. The HMYG groups were administrated orally, mice 12, 6 and 3g/kg, rats 4, 4.2 and 2.1 g/kg. The model group was given the same volume distilled water, once a day, 3 or 10 continuous days. The increased permeability of mice abdominal capillary was induced by acetic acid, edema of rat hind paw was induced by albumen and carrageenin, which both were adopted to observe the acute anti-inflammatory effects; and cotton pellet granuloma was to observe the chronic anti- inflammation effects of HMYG.Results Compared with the model group, the ibuprofen group, the HMYG high and middle group showed anti-inflammatory actions of mice induced by acetic acid (0.185 ± 0.046, 0.177 ± 0.055, 0.190 ± 0.052vs. 0.246 ± 0.050,P<0.05 orP<0.01); after 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 6 hrs inflammation, HMYG high dosage group had significant inhibition for the edema of rats hind paw induced byalbumen model, the inhibitory rate was 22.46%, 19.20% and 24.32%, 33.75%, 24.19%; 4 and 6 hrs after inflammation, HMYG high dosage group could reduce rats paw edema induced by carrageenin, the inhibitory rate was 32.05%, 30.56% and 19.23%, 20.83%.Conclusion HMYG has evident anti-inflammatory effects on acute inflammation.

Objective:To investigate the effect of radiofrequency radiation (RF) from 5G mobile phone communication frequency bands (3.5 GHz and 4.9 GHz) on the permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in mice.Methods:A total of 24 healthy adult male C57BL/6 mice (6-8 weeks old) were randomly divided into Sham, 3.5 GHz RF and 4.9 GHz RF groups, and 8 mice in each group. Mice in the RF groups were systemically exposed to 5G cell phone radiation for consecutive 35 d(1 h/d) with 50 W/m 2 power density. The BBB permeability of mice was detected by Evans Blue (EB) fluorescence experiment. The expression levels of the BBB tight junction-related proteins (ZO-1, occludin and claudin-11) and the gap junction-related protein Connexin 43 were determined by Western blot. Results:The number of spots, fluorescence intensity and comprehensive score of EB were significantly increased in 3.5 GHz RF group and 4.9 GHz RF group compared with the Sham group ( t=12.98, 17.82, P<0.001). Compared with the Sham group, the content of S100B in mouse serum was significantly increased in 3.5 GHz RF group and 4.9 GHz RF group ( t=19.34, 14.68, P<0.001). The BBB permeability was increased in the RF group. The expression level of occludin protein was significantly reduced in the 3.5 GHz RF group ( t=-3.13, P<0.05), and this decrease was much profound in the 4.9 GHz RF group ( t=-6.55, P<0.01). But the protein levels of ZO-1, Claudin-11 and Connexin 43 in the cerebral cortex of the RF groups had no significantly difference in comparison with the Sham group( P>0.05). Conclusions:The continuous exposure of mobile phone RF at 3.5 GHz or 4.9 GHz for 35 d (1 h/d) induces an increase of BBB permeability in the mouse cerebral cortex, perhaps by reducing the expression of occludin protein.

Objective: To explore the application value of pedicled thoracodorsal artery perforator flap in immediate partial breast reconstruction for breast cancer. Methods: This study is a prospective case series studies. Totally 128 cases of primary breast cancer patients who prepared to receive the breast-conserving surgery combine with immediate partial breast reconstruction of pedicled thoracodorsalartery perforator flap were enrolled in Breast Cancer Prevention and Treatment Center of Peking University Cancer Hospital from June 2013 to March 2016. Finally, the operations had been completed successfully in 33 eligible cases. All patients were female with a median age of 40 years (ranging from 22 to 52 years). The perforator vessel location, the donor area design, the post-operative complications, the influence of radiation and chemotherapy had been evaluated. Results: The average diameter of thoracic dorsal artery perforators measured by Doppler ultrasound before the operation was (1.5±0.4) mm (ranging from 0.6 to 2.7 mm). The average size of flaps was 15 cm×6 cm. The average time of operations was (271±72) minutes (ranging from 120 to 245 minutes). Drainage tube removed on (4.7±2.1) days after operation (ranging from 3 to 12 days). All patients received follow-up, and there was no local recurrence and distant metastasis during a median follow-up of 17(12) months (M(Q_R)) (ranging from 5 to 38 months). All TDAP flaps were survival, the wound complication rates was 6% (2/33). Conclusions The breast reconstruction of pedicled thoracodorsal artery perforator flap is a good choice of repairing local breast defect of breast conserving surgery.Its advantages are no-influence of latissimus dorsi function and little complications in donor area.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of ultrasound guided core needle biopsy (CNB) and vacuum assisted biopsy (VAB) in minor breast lesions with diameter 0.6 to 1.0 cm.Methods Totally 7 730 cases of breast lesions examined by ultrasound guided minimally invasive biopsy were enrolled in Breast Cancer Prevention and Treatment Center of Peking University Cancer Hospital from April 2014 to May 2016.254 lesions with maximum diameter 0.6 to 1.0 cm in 243 cases were analysed retrospectively (232 unilateral &11 bilateral) and divided into group CNB(152 lesions) and group VAB (102 lesions).The accuracy of pathological diagnosis and the rate of breast conserving surgery were compared between the two groups.Results There were 94 non-malignant and 58 malignant breast lesions as initially diagnosed by CNB.Among those 94 tentative non-malignant lesions,33 underwent open surgical biopsy and 4 malignancies were finally established by pathology.In group CNB,the sensitivity was 93.4％,the specific was 100％,the accuracy was 97.4％.There were 91 non-malignant and 11 malignant lesions as initially diagnosed by VAB.In those with established malignant disease,the rate of breast conserving surgery between group CNB and group VAB was statistically different (62.9％ vs.27.3％,P =0.045).Conclusions Ultrasound guided core needle biopsy and vacuum assisted biopsy are with high accuracy for small breast lesions.The rate of breast conserving surgery for breast cancer is higher in group CNB patients by the different type of minimally invasive biopsy.

BACKGROUNDBlood pressure variability (BPV) is a reliable prognostic factor for cardiovascular events. Currently there is a worldwide lack of large sample size studies in visit-to-visit BPV. Based on the Kailuan Study, we analyzed the visit-to-visit BPV of patients to investigate the range and influencing factors of BPV.

METHODSIn 11 hospitals in the Kailuan Company, 4 441 patients received routine health checkups. Physical examination measured blood pressure (BP), body height, body weight, and waist circumference, and body mass index was calculated. Blood samples were analyzed for plasma total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), fasting blood glucose (FBG), and high-sensitivity c-reactive protein (hs-CRP).

RESULTSThe effect of gender on systolic BPV was investigated. The average systolic BPV was 10.35 mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) overall, 10.54 mmHg in males and 10.06 mmHg in females. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that the age (RR = 1.022), systolic BP (SBP, RR = 1.007), LDL-C (RR = 1.098), and history of hypertension (RR = 1.273) were significant risk factors for higher systolic BPV. We found that aging (RR = 1.022), increased SBP (RR = 1.007), and a history of hypertension (RR = 1.394) were determinants of systolic BPV in males. The risk factors for systolic BPV of females were aging (RR = 1.017), increased SBP (RR = 1.009), increased LDL (RR = 1.136), and increased TG (RR = 1.157).

CONCLUSIONOur findings indicated that the systolic BPV is closely associated with age, SBP and history of hypertension.
