To explore the population composition and the morbidities and treatment of hypertension and diabetes mellitus among the patients at 4 community healthy service stations at Gaobeidian,Chaoyang District of Beijing during the period of February 2009 to October 2010.A cross-sectional survey was conducted by self-reporting questionnaires.Most patients were above 40 years old,had a lower income level and education status and their treatment costs were mainly covered by social health insurance.Their incidences of hypertension and diabetes mellitus were high.Though most of them could recognize and treat their illnesses,the control rate remained non-satisfactory.Targeting incoming patients,community health service stations should take its advantages of managing chronic diseases and enroll more patients from local communities.

Objective To study the genotype distribution of insulin receptor substrate-2(IRS-2)gene 1057G/A polymorphism in Han population from Southwest China,and to explore its association with the metabolism of glucose and lipids,insulin resistance and islet?-cell function in type 2 diabetic patients and subjects with impaired glucose tolerance(IGT).Methods A total of 929 Hans[462 patients with type 2 diabetes(DM group) and 164 subjects with IGT(IGT group)and 303 normal controls(NC group)]from Chongqing and nearby regions were screened for 1057G/A polymorphism of IRS-2 gene by PCR-RFLP assay.Body mass index(BMI),plasma glucose,serum insulin and lipid profile,high-sensitive C-reactive protein(hsCRP)and non-esterified fatty acid were measured.Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance(HOMA-IR)and disposition index(DI)were used to estimate insulin resistance and?-cell function respectively.Results In DM group,A allele frequency was significantly lower than that in NC group(0.326 vs 0.388,X~2=6.19,P=0.01).Compared with NC group,AA genotype frequeney was lower and GG genotype frequeney was higher in DM group(0.104 vs 0.135 and 0.452 vs 0.360 respectively,X~2=6.80,P

OBJECTIVETo identify and assess multiple human papillomavirus types in condyloma acuminatum lesions from patients with genital warts in Beijing area, and compare different features between otherwise healthy and immunosuppressed patients.

METHODSPCR, RFLP and nucleotide sequencing analysis were used to determine HPV types from individual lesions.

RESULTSThe predominant type from other healthy patients was HPV6, secondly HPV11. The mean age of patients infected by HPV6 was lower than that of HPV11 and HPV6 + 11. While lesions from immunosuppressed patients were often contained HPV11 or mixed with HPV6. Besides, HPV types 16 and 53 were detected from infected lesions than other HPV types.

CONCLUSIONSHPV6 was the major pathogen of condyloma acuminatum, but infected patients were at lower ages. While HPV11 was most often detected from immunosuppressed patients. As a low risk virus in normal genital tract, HPV53 also could be a pathogen in genital warts.

At present, METH has surpassed the traditional illegal psychoactive substances and become the most widely abused illegal psychostimulant in China.Endoplasmic reticulum ( ER) plays an important role in regulating the normal physiological functions of various cells by virtue of its strong membrane strnc- ture and a large number of enzymes on the membrane.Endoplasmic reticulum stress ( ERS) is a series of adaptive responses made by cells when ER homeostasis is destroyed.When ERS occurs, it will drive the activation of unfolded protein response (I PR ) , which aims to protect cells from stress, reduce biosyn- thetic load and help to rebuild cell homeostasis.Persistent ERS will further aggravate the pressure of ER and induce cell death by using UPR signaling pathway.'Hie neurotoxicity induced by METH is closely related to ERS.This paper elaborates on ERS and UPR signaling pathway, and summarizes the relationship between ERS.apoptosis and autophagy, so as to provide new ideas and potential therapeutic targets for the basic research and prevention of METH induced neurotoxicity mechanism.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the current status of antibiotic use for very and extremely low birth weight (VLBW/ELBW) infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) of Hunan Province. METHODS: The use of antibiotics was investigated in multiple level 3 NICUs of Hunan Province for VLBW and ELBW infants born between January, 2017 and December, 2017. RESULTS: The clinical data of 1 442 VLBW/ELBW infants were collected from 24 NICUs in 2017. The median antibiotic use duration was 17 days (range: 0-86 days), accounting for 53.0% of the total length of hospital stay. The highest duration of antibiotic use was up to 91.4% of the total length of hospital stay, with the lowest at 14.6%. In 16 out of 24 NICUs, the antibiotic use duration was accounted for more than 50.0% of the hospitalization days. There were 113 cases with positive bacterial culture grown in blood or cerebrospinal fluid, making the positive rate of overall bacterial culture as 7.84%. The positive rate of bacterial culture in different NICUs was significantly different from 0% to 14.9%. The common isolated bacterial pathogens Klebsiella pneumoniae was 29 cases (25.7%); Escherichia coli 12 cases (10.6%); Staphylococcus aureus 3 cases (2.7%). The most commonly used antibiotics were third-generation of cephalosporins, accounting for 41.00% of the total antibiotics, followed by penicillins, accounting for 32.10%, and followed by carbapenems, accounting for 13.15%. The proportion of antibiotic use time was negatively correlated with birth weight Z-score and the change in weight Z-score between birth and hospital discharge (r=-0.095, -0.151 respectively, P<0.01), positively correlated with death/withdrawal of care (r=0.196, P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Antibiotics used for VLBW/ELBW infants in NICUs of Hunan Province are obviously prolonged in many NICUs. The proportion of routine use of third-generation of cephalosporins and carbapenems antibiotics is high among the NICUs.
