Objeetive To investigate the relationship between 24-hour blood pressure rhythm and carotid scleratheroma in elderly patients with hypertension.Methods 193 elderly patients with hypertension were enrolled in the study and divided into study group (91 cases with carotid atherosclerosis) and control group (102 cases).All the patients were given 24h blood pressure rhythm examination.The characteristics of 24hour blood pressure rhythm was compared between the two groups.Results The 24h average systolic blood pressure(24h-SBP),24h average diastolic blood pressure (24h-DBP),24h average pulse pressure (24h-MBP) between the study group and the control group had no significant differences(P ＞ 0.05).The daytime average systolic blood pressure(d-SBP),diurnal mean diastolic blood pressure (d-DBP),diurnal average pulse pressure (d-MBP),nocturnal mean systolic blood pressure (n-SBP),nocturnal mean diastolic blood pressure(n-DBP),nocturnal mean pulse pressure(n-MBP) of the study group were significantly higher than those of the control group (t =16.92,24.68,6.16,12.87,11.59,6.35,all P ＜0.05).In study group,d-SBP,d-DBP,d-MBP were higher than n-SBP,n-DBP,n-MBP,the differences were statistically significant(F =73.61,P ＜ 0.01).The circadian blood pressure variability of the study group was more than 10％,the 24h ambulatory blood pressure curve graph of the study group was non-dipper curve.The circadian blood pressure variability of the control group was less than 5％,the 24h ambulatory blood pressure curve was dipper type curve.Conclusion The MBPS is strongly associated with carotid scleratheroma,and clinical treatment and study could derive from ABPM data analysis.

Objective To investigate the effect of intranasal instillation of insulin with different doses on cognitive function in patients with Alzheimer disease (AD).Methods Sixty-three AD patients were collectcd.According to the order of doctor's office visiting,they were divided into insulin 1 group (21 cases,intranasal instillation of insulin 20 U,2 times per day),insulin 2 group (21 cases,intranasal instillation of insulin 40 U,2 times per day) and placebo group (21 cases,intranasal instillation of physiological saline,2 times per day).Mini-mental state examination scale (MMSE) and Rivermead behavioural memory test second edition (RBMT Ⅱ) were used to evaluate the improvement of cognitive function after 3 months and 6 months.Results Before treatment,the scores of MMSE and RBMT Ⅱ in insulin 1 group were (20.2 ± 2.3) and (17.2 ± 1.9) scores,in insulin 2 group were (20.7 ± 2.8) and (16.5 ± 1.9) scores.After treatment for 3 months,the scores of MMSE and RBMT Ⅱ in insulin 1 group were (21.8 ± 3.2) and (19.2 ± 2.0) scores,in insulin 2 group were (21.6 ± 3.5) and (18.1 ± 2.0) scores.The scores of MMSE and RBMT Ⅱ in insulin 1 group and insulin 2 group significantly improved compared with those before treatment (P ＜ 0.05 or ＜ 0.01).But the scores of MMSE and RBMT Ⅱ in placebo group were significantly aggravated,(18.9 ± 3.8) scores vs.(20.9 ± 2.5) scores,(15.2 ± 2.1) scores vs.(16.1 ± 2.0) scores,P ＜ 0.05.After treatment for 6 months,the scores of MMSE and RBMT Ⅱ in insulin 1 group were (22.5 ± 3.3) and (20.5 ± 2.0) scores,in insulin 2 group were (22.7 ± 3.1) and(19.8 ± 1.9) scores,and in placebo group were (17.9 ± 4.5) and(14.7 ± 2.0) scores.The scores of MMSE and RBMT Ⅱ in insulin 1 group and insulin 2 group were significantly better than those in placebo group (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Intranasal instillation of insulin can improve cognitive disorders in patients with AD.

The centrosome plays a crucial role in the maintaining of cell conformation,mitosis and chromosome seg-regation.It responds to the DNA damage and keeps the genome stability via cross-talking with the intranuclear DNA damage repair system.The apoptosis of tumor cells can be induced through inhibition of the duplication of centro-some.So the inhibitors of centrosomal proteins will be a potential anti-tumor therapy.

Objective:To evaluate therapeutic effect and safety of rosuvastatin on patients with hyperlipidemia com‐plicated hyperuricemia .Methods :A total of 88 patients with hyperlipidemia complicated hyperuricemia ,who were hospitalized in our hospital ,were selected ,randomly and equally divided into rosuvastatin group (10 mg/d) and atorvastatin group (20 mg/d) ,both groups were treated for eight weeks .Changes of levels of blood lipids and serum uric acid (SUA) were observed and compared between two groups before and after treatment .Results:Compared with before treatment ,after eight -week treatment ,there were significant reductions in levels of blood lipids (ex‐cept high density lipoprotein cholesterol ) and SUA in both groups , P<0.01 all;compared with atorvastatin group after treatment ,there were significant reductions in levels of total cholesterol [ (4.87 ± 0.47) mmol/L vs .(4.48 ± 0.53) mmol/L] in rosuvastatin group (P=0.04) ,and there was no significant difference in SUA level between two groups , P>0.05.

[Objective] To guide the health preservation more scientifically and effectively through discussing relationship between natural timing and spirit-regulating, and studying the influence of lifecycle and time sequence regularity on the spirit-regulating. [Methods] The relationship of body and spirit, time property of the spirit, time sequence regularity and those lifecycle were adopted to analyse the theoretical basis and specific measures on regulating spirit based on time differentiation. [Results] Body as well as the spirit would be followed by the changes of the time sequence regularity, also at different stages of human body, the spirit changed with it accordingly. [Conclusion] TCM holds that body and spirit are unified, the lifecycle and natural timing affect human body and spirit correspondingly, so if we know the relation of the spirit and time, regulate spirit by time differentiation, which must be helpful for keeping good mind, even for health and longevity.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of CHOP (cyclophosphamide,doxorubicin,vincristine,and prednisone)chemotherapy on peripheral T cell lymphomas-unspecified (PTCL-U)in patients aged 80 years and over,and investigate the chemotherapy adverse effects and its prognostic factors.Methods Clinical data of 57 patients with PTCL-U confirmed by pathology and immunohistochemistry in Guangzhou First People's Hospital from January 2008 to January 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.The efficacy and adverse effects of CHOP chemotherapy,and its prognostic factors were evaluated.Results Of 57 patients,11 (19.3％) achieved complete remission,23(40.4％)had partial remission,14(24.6％)had stable disease,and 9(15.8％)had progressive disease after CHOP chemotherapy,with a total effective rate of 59.6％ (34 cases).The expected 1-year,2-year and 3-year overall survival(OS)rate was 70.2％ (40 cases),36.8％ (21 cases) and 17.5％ (10 cases),respectively.The median survival time was 18.2 months.Among the 57 patients,40(70.2％) had hypoplasia of bone marrow at degree Ⅰ-Ⅱ,17 (29.8％) at degree Ⅲ-Ⅳ,49 (86.0％) had mild nausea and vomiting(degree Ⅰ-Ⅱ),8(14.0％)had severe nausea and vomiting(degree Ⅲ-Ⅳ),7 had liver dysfunction,2 had cardiac toxicity and 7 had disturbance of blood coagulation.Univariate analysis showed that the alkaline phosphatase,Ki-67 percentage,lymphoma international prognostic index(IPI)score,extranodal involved sites(＞1),as well as the efficacy and course of chemotherapy were the prognostic factors for survival time in very elderly patients.Multivariate analysis indicated that IPI score＞2(95％CI:1.12～6.35,x2 ＝5.45,P＜0.01),extranodal involved sites(＞1)(95％ CI:2.58-15.32,x2 ＝ 16.42,P＜0.01),disease progression(95％CI:1.82～12.15,x2 ＝ 10.23,P＜0.01),chemotherapy courses(＞4) (5％CI:0.18～0.79,x2 ＝7.28,P＜0.01)were the independent prognostic factors for the median survival time in very elderly patients.Conclusions PTCL U patients aged 80 years and over have poor prognosis.CHOP chemotherapy has a certain effect on PTCL-U in very elderly patients,and chemotherapy side effects can be tolerated.IPI score＞2 and extranodal involved sites(＞ 1)are the important prognostic factors in very elderly PTCL-U patients.The completion of full course of chemotherapy with remission occurrence is important to prolong survival time in very elderly PTCL-U patients.
