Using morphometry and impregnation technique of lanthanum nitrate,acomparative investigation on the epidermis structure of high and low electricresistance skin points was carried out in mice and rabbits at both light and electronmicroscope level,with special emphasis on the structure of gap junctions in epidermis.It was observed that the frequency of gap junctions in low resistance points wassignificantly higher,and their diameter was larger than that in high resistancepoints,while no difference was found in other structure parameters examinedbetween the two types of skin points.It is assumed that the gap junctions may bethe structure basis for the difference in skin electric resistance.

Objective To explore the difference of the risk factors among the rural residents with hypertension with different social economic levels.Methods Risk factors survey were conducted in 469 new cases with hypertension(aged over 35) with different economic-social levels in Jizhou city,Hebei province using self-made questionnaire,2799 people(aged over 35) as the controls.The results were analyzed with Logistic regression analysis.Results OR of the risk factors in higher economic level group were:family history of hypertension(2.863),body mass index(BMI,1.286),preserved foods(1.263),the amount of eggs taken daily(1.200) and the ages of the patients(1.052).The OR of risk factors in lower economic levels' group were:family history of hypertension(3.990),smoking(1.767),the amount of eggs taken daily(1.753),drinking(1.728),education background(1.532),sex(1.448),daily amount of meat intake(1.276),BMI(1.205) and the age of the patients(1.068).The higher annual income of the family and the amount of fresh fruits intake daily were the protective factors of hypertension with the OR were 0.708 and 0.788 respectively.Conclusion The results show that the patients at different economic levels have different risk factors of hypertension.

Report of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring may contain a large number of data which is very important for the clinical studies on subjects' blood pressure. Most of the ambulatory blood pressure monitor ing sy stems in use at present are lacking in database managing function, which is very in convenient to the research work. In accordance with the characteristics of BY 960 ambulatory blood pressure monitoring system (produced by Shenzhen NewEra Tech Co., Ltd.), a set of data management program was established. It can automatical ly transfer the ambulatory data to database sets and is confirmed to be a practical tool for the research work.

Objective To explore the effect of social relationship quality intervention on blood pressure and mental state of patients after hypertensive hemorrhage. Methods From November 2014 to March 2016,48 patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage were assigned as control group and another 48 patients with the same disease in our hospitalfrom April 2016 to August 2017 as observation group:The former received routine nursing care and the latter was treated with social relationship quality intervention plus the routine nursing care.The blood pressure and mental states before intervention were compared with those 1 month after intervention. Result After intervention,the systolic and diastolic blood pressures in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group,and the scores on resilience,optimism and strength were all significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.01, P<0.001). Conclusions The social relationship quality intervention is effective in the care to patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage. It can effectively improve the clinical efficacy, reduce blood pressure and improve mental state, worthy of clinical application and promotion.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of endoscopic stent placement for patients with Bismuth type Ⅳ hilar cholangiocarcinoma.Methods:Data of 229 patients with unresectable Bismuth type Ⅳ hilar cholangiocarcinoma who successfully underwent endoscopic stent placement at the Department of Endoscopy, the Third Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from January 2002 to January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Outcomes included clinical success rate, complication incidence, stent patency period and overall survival time. The patency of stents and overall survival time of patients were estimated by using the Kaplan-Meier method. The independent predictors for stent patency and overall survival of patients were analyzed by a multivariate Cox proportional regression model.Results:The overall clinical success rate was 78.2% (179/229). The incidence of early cholangitis after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was 20.5% (47/229). The median stent patency and overall survival time were 5.7 (95% CI: 4.8-6.7) months and 5.1 (95% CI: 4.2-6.0) months, respectively. Further multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that metal stent ( P<0.001, HR=0.452, 95% CI: 0.307-0.666) and bilateral stents with bilateral angiography ( P=0.036, HR=0.644, 95% CI: 0.427-0.971) were independent predictors of stent patency; total bilirubin>200 μmol/L ( P=0.001, HR=1.627, 95% CI: 1.208-2.192), metal stent ( P=0.004, HR=0.636, 95% CI: 0.467-0.866) and antitumor therapy ( P<0.001, HR=0.439, 95% CI:0.308-0.626) were independent predictors of overall survival. Conclusion:There is high incidence of cholangitis in patients with unresectable Bismuth type Ⅳ hilar cholangiocarcinoma treated with endoscopic stenting. Longer stent patency can be achieved with metal stent placement and bilateral drainage. In addition, metal stent for drainage and antitumor therapy can also help increase the survival benefit.
