The prevalence of obesity,type 2 diabetes,and other chronic non-communicable diseases is increasing rapidly world-wide.Most recent epidemiological data showed that China is now in an era of obesity,and under a huge burden of the complications related with obesity,diabetes,as well as cerebral-and cardiovascular disorders.Strenuous efforts,comprehensive strategies,effective measures,and practical solutions must all be taken to combat against these chronic diseases.

The cardiovascular system is closely associated with sex hormones. The risk factors of the cadiovascular diseases or related events, such as lipid metabolism, coagulatory function and vascular endothelium function are affected by sex hormones and their analogues by a number of pathways. Consensus is generaly reached about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) among menopausal women except the effects on cardiovascular system, which removined to be controversial. It is recommended that women should consult their doctors for their individulized administration of HRT.

Objective To study the development of children's understanding the probabilities of the causes of illness.Methods 120 5-to 9-year-old children were interviewed via open-ended items and forced choices about illness. Results There were statistical significance in their understanding of the probabilities of the causes of illness and their strategies of prediction among the three groups(χ2(2)= 50.134,P ＜0.01;χ2(6)= 95.781, P ＜0.01);in addition, there was statistical significance between the two educational backgrounds (χ2(1)= 11.162, P ＜0.01;χ2(3)= 35.043, P ＜0.01). Conclusion Some preschool-aged children viewed outcomes of familiar causes of illness as probabilistic. The children's understanding of the causes' probabilities appeared to be based on naive biology. 5- to 9-year-old children made probabilistic predictions from a single cause to multiple causes. Children coming from higher educational backgrounds outperformed their counterparts coming from lower educational backgrounds with respect to understanding illness.

Objective To investigate the effect of hyperoxie liquid on neuron apoptosis in rabbit with traffic brain injury. Methods Rabbit models of brain injury were established by screening suit-able striking intensity and supplied respectively with hyperoxic liquid for 25, 50, 75 and 100 ml each day to observe the respiratory control rate(RCR) of mitochondria, mitochondria membrane potential (MMP), apoptosis rate of neurocytes and NSS grade.Meanwhile, non-intervention group and control groups were set.Results The rabbit model made by striking velocity of 72 km/h was selected as the study object.MMP, RCR, phosphate/oxygen ratio(P/O), oxygenated phosphate rate(OPR) and apopto-sis rate of neurocytes and NSS grade in control and treatment group showed statistical difference compared with non-intervention group(P<0.05).MMP, RCR, P/O and OPR in 100 ml hyperoxic liquid treat-ment group were higher than those in 75 ml hyperoxie liquid treatment group(P<0.05), but the apopto-sis rate of neurocytes and NSS grade showed no statistical difference(P>0.05). Conclusion Intra-venous hyperoxic liquid infusion can decrease apoptosis rate of neurocytes, as indicates that hyperoxic liq-uid affects apoptosis of neurocytes and hence ameliorates prognosis mainly by intervening respiratory func-tion of mitechondria.

Objective To study the relationship between the aged retirees' group's body mass index(BMI)distribution characteristics and relative cardiovascular diseases risk tactors.Methods One thousand three hundred and forty-three retirees in health medical examination were tested for systolic pressure, diastolic pressure,serum triglyceride,total cholesterol and fasting blood glucose.Groups with different BMI and different genders were tested for their mortality.Results The detective rates of BMI insufficiency,normal,overweight and obesity were 6.18%,51.67%,35.52%and 6.63%respectively.There was no statistic significance between different genders.The prevalence rates of hypertension,hyperlipidemia and diabetes mellitus(DM)were 46.09%,46.91%and 7.45%respectively.It showed that the prevalence rates of male hypertension and hyperlipidemia were significantly above those of the female's(P<0.05).As the BMI increased,hypertention,hyperlipidemia and DM rates increased too,and obviously increased in overweight group compared to normal BMI group(P<0.05).The detective rate of cardiovascular disease increased correspondingly with the increase of BMI.Conclusion BMI increasing is the important vascular relative risk factor for the aged retriee.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of flupentixol and melitracen(Deanxit) in treatment of non-erosive reflux disease(NERD) and non-responding to proton pump inhibitor. Methods Fifty eight NERD pa-tients were randomly divided into two groups, the treatment group (n = 29) and control group (n = 29). Patients in control group were given esomeprazole 40 mg qd. Patients in the treatment group were given the same drug plus Deanxit 1 Tab qd. The clinical effect was evaluated and scored by Hemihon Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA) after 4 weeks. Results The total efficacy rate of the treatment group was higher than control group (P < 0.01),and HAMA was lower in the treatment group than in control group (P < 0.01). Conclusions Adjuvant treatment of Deanxit combined with esomeprazole is effective to NERD patients who did not respond to proton pump inhibitor, can greatly improve anxious disorders.

According to the texts of Baihu Jia Renshen Decoction in the books of Maijing,Qianjin Yaofang,Qianjin Yifang,Taiping Shenghui Fang,Hxin Fang,and Jingui Yuhan Jing,the author drew the following conclusions:Baihu Jia Renshen Decoction in the present Shanghan Lun was very likely the written error Of Baihu Decoction,which was more close to the original meaning of Zhang Zhong-jing.From the period of Sui and Tang Dynasty,doctors had gotten new experiences in their practices.They added Ginsen into Baihu Decoction and named the new decoction"BaihU Jia Renshen Decoction",which was still in use today.Although there was not intrinsically difierence between Baihu Decoction and Baihu Jia Renshen Decoction,while the saying of"adding Renshen or not,should be decided by patient's Yuanqi"by doctor Shu Chi-yuan in Qing Dynasty had a significant impact.The erroneous views by some recent scholars can't be complied with,who advocated that the four main symptoms of Baihu Decoction syndrome should belong to syndrome of Baihu Jia Renshen Decoction according to the original texts in Shanghan Lun.

Separations of neurotransmitters such as dopamine (DA), ser otonin (5-HA), norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine (E) were performed successf ully using a homemade electric field modulated capillary electrophoretic system, which could offer both radial and axial electric fields with only one high volt age power supply. DA and 5-HT were eluted simulaneously and could not be resolv ed in 0.01 mol/L phosphate buffer at pH 2.5. Alcohol additives, such as methanol , ethanol or 1-propanol were added to the buffer to change the solvation shell of the solutes, which changed their effective sizes and electrophoretic mobiliti es of the solutes accordingly. The optimum composition was a buffer of 20% (V ／V） 1-propanol, with resulted resolutions 0.74 (DA/5-HT), 0.56(5-HT/NE) and 0.77 (NE/E). If a positive radial voltage of 6.6 kV was applied, the resolut ions were improved to 1.48, 0.71 and 1.32, respectively.

To investigate the antibiotic resistance of bacteria isolated from bile, the bile from the surgical in-patients with bile duct infection from June 1995 to December 1998 was cultured and the distribution and antibiotic resistance of the isolates (not including anaeobes) were analyzed. The results showed that the cultured positive rate in the specimens was 69. 76 % (143/205). Among the isolates, most of them were E. coli and P. aeruginosa (31. 74 % and 18. 56 %, respectively), while Enterobacter, K. pneumonia and Enterococci were also commonly seen. All the isolates were resistant more or less to the commonly used antibiotics.
