Objective To investigate the factors influencing basic rehabilitation service needs of people with disability at Zhabei District in Shanghai .Methods Primary rehabilitation demands and services of 10 311 disabled persons in Zhabei District were surveyed.Results The screening rate of persons with disability having primary rehabilitation demands was 83.5%. And the gender, age, type of disability, disability level, education, employment might be the factors affecting the primary rehabilitation demands of people with disability.Conclusion The primary rehabilitation service demands vary in deferent types of people with disability. The various services based on the extensive rehabilitation services should be provided to deferent categories of people with disability.

Objective To understand the status of special rehabilitation service demands of people with disability at Zhabei District in Shanghai and to provide the basis for the policy development.Methods Screen rate (SR) was used to indicate the level of demand of rehabilitation service, the data were analyzed with SPSS 13.0 statistical software.Results There were 4 349 persons with disability who demanded the special rehabilitation service; the SR of “on-site rehabilitation service” demands was the highest among the whole persons with disability; the SR of “personalized allotment of supplies and appliances” demands of the intellectual disability and mental disability was lower than the other types; the SR of special rehabilitation service demands of the female, the elderly, the low cultural level, the unemployed and the people with severe disability were relatively higher.Conclusion The form of “on-site rehabilitation services” needs to improve based on the demand of the disabilities; “personalized supplies and appliances” for the intellectual disability and mental disability needs to further develop; the rehabilitation services targeted to the female, the elderly, the low cultural level, the unemployed and the people with severe disability need to improve.

Objective To provide the advice on how to optimize the allocation of resources and make other policy through the analysis factors affecting rehabilitation services needs of people with disability at Zhabei district in Shanghai.Methods The factors affecting rehabilitation services needs such as types of disability, disability levels, education, employment, marital status, age and sex were analyzed with Logistic analysis.Results The factors affecting primary rehabilitation services were types of disability, education, employment situation, marital status and sex. And people with disability had the characters of female, hearing disability, retired returned to more primary rehabilitation services, with OR values being 1.219, 1.544 and 1.533 respectively compared with itself controls. And the high educational disable people' will, returning to primary rehabilitation services, was weaker compared with low educational disable people. The factors affecting special rehabilitation services were types of disability and employment situation. And people with disability had the characters of hearing disability, unemployment returned to more special rehabilitation services, with OR values being 2.380 and 1.310 respectively compared with itself controls.Conclusion The rehabilitation needs are different among different groups people with disability, so the factors affecting rehabilitation services needs such as types of disability, education, employment situation, marital status and sex should be taken into consideration while activating primary rehabilitation services, while the types of disability and employment situation should be taken into more consideration while activating special rehabilitation services.

Objective: To investigate the correlation of MDM2 SNP309 polymorphism with breast cancer risk in Chinese women. Methods: The polymorphism of MDM2 SNP309 was detected by PCR-restriction frag-ment length polymorphisms assay (PCR-RFLP) in 698 women with primary breast cancer and 525 healthy controls. Results: Compared with the T/T genotype, the G allele (T/G or G/G) was not associated with an in-creased risk of breast cancer in the entire population studied (T/G, adjusted OR=1.2, 95% CI: 0.8-1.6, P=0.30; G/G, adjusted OR=1.0, 95% CI: 0.7 ～ 1.5, P=0.88). Among postmenopausal women, the G allele (T/G or G/G) was significantly associated with an increased risk of breast cancer (T/G, adjusted OR=1.8, 95% CI:1.2～3.0, P=0.011; G/G, adjusted OR=1.9, 95% CI: 1.2～3.3, P=0.014). But this association was not ob-served among premenopausal women. Conclusion: MDM2 SNP309 heterozygous T/G genotype and homozy-gous mutant GIG genotype increase breast cancer risk in postmenopausal Chinese women.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effects of Shenqi Compound (SQC) on the mRNA expression of angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) in the aorta of Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats.

METHODSTotally 67 GK rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, i.e., the GK group (n =18), the model group (n =16), the atorvastatin group (n =17), and the SQC group (n =16). Another a normal control group was set up (n =18). The diabetic macrovascular disease model was prepared by adding L-NAME (at the daily dose of 0.10 mg/mL) in drinking water for GK rats. GK rats, except those in the normal control group were fed with high fat diet. Atorvastatin (at the daily dose of 1.60 mg/kg) and SQC (at the daily dose of 1.44 g/kg) were respectively administered by gastrogavage, once daily for 35 successive days. The blood glucose was determined by glucose oxidase method once per week. After 5-week medication, the contents of triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) were determined by ELISA. The serum concentrations of angiotensin I (Ang II) were determined by RIA. The mRNA expression of AT1R in the aorta was determined by real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR).

RESULTSThe blood glucose level was obviously lower in both the atorvastatin group and the SQC group after 4 weeks of medication (P <0.05). Besides, it was significantly lower in the SQC group than in the model group by the end of the 4th week (P <0.05). The concentrations of TG, TC and serum Ang II , and the mRNA expression of AT1R in the aorta were significantly higher in the model group than in the normal control group (P <0.01). After 5-week medication, the concentrations of TG, TC and serum Ang I , and the mRNA expression of AT1 R in the aorta were significantly lower in the atorvastatin group and the SQC group than in the model group (P <0.01, P <0.05). The mRNA expression of AT1R was significantly higher in the SQC group than in the atorvastatin group (P <0.05).

CONCLUSIONSSQC could significantly reduce the levels of blood glucose, TG, TC, down-regulate the mRNA expression of AT1R in the aorta, and decrease the expressions of serum Ang II of GK rats with diabetic macrovascular disease. AT1 R might be one of effective targets of SQC in treating diabetic macrovascular diseases.

Objective To investigate the prompt value of abnormal vaginal morphology on diagnosing pelvic organ prolapse . Methods Forty eight pelvic organ prolapse female patients diagnosed by pelvic organ prolapse quantification were enrolled in the pelvic organ prolapse group and 51 normal female volunteers were enrolled in the control group in this study. Pelvic MRI T2WI were performed in all cases. The vaginal shape were evaluated according to Delancey Ⅱ level on the transverse images, which were divided into two categories:normal morphology (H-shaped) and abnormal morphology(non H-shaped). The vaginal shape distribution of different prolapse degree(0,Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳstage) and types(anterior,middle, posterior pelvic prolapse) were recorded. Chi-square test was used to analyse distribution difference of vaginal shape between the two groups. The ROC curve was used to analyse the diagnostic efficiency of abnormal vaginal morphology for diagnosing pelvic organ prolapse. Results In the control group, there were 40 cases with normal vaginal morphology and 11 cases with abnormal morphology mainly including W-shaped and U-shaped abnormal morphology. In the prolapse group, there were 5 cases with normal vaginal morphology and 43 cases with abnormal morphologymainly including U-shaped (13 cases), W-shaped (26 cases) and O-shaped(4 cases) abnormal morphology. There was significant difference between the two groups(c2=46.137,P<0.01). The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.800. The sensitivity and specificity of abnormal vaginal shape for diagnosing pelvic organ prolapse were 89.6% and 78.4%respectively.The distribution of vaginal morphology in different degrees and types of prolapse were different:vaginal morphology of 0 stage prolapse showed H-typed mainly (40/51, 78.4%), Ⅰ stage prolapse showed W-shaped (16/28 57.1%), Ⅱ,Ⅲ stage prolapse all showed non H-shaped (20/20, 100%), Ⅱstage mainly showed W-shaped (9/14), Ⅲ stage mainly showed O-shaped (3/6). Anterior pelvic organ prolapse were manifested mainly with W-shaped vaginal morphology (4/9) and middle pelvic organ prolapse mainly showed O-shaped vaginal morphology (4/7). Conclusions The abnormal vaginal morphology has the prompt value on diagnosing pelvic organ prolapse.Moreover, the different shape probably indicates the different degrees and types of pelvic organ prolapse.

Objective To explore the effects of salvia miltiorrhizae (SM) injection on the apoptosis of cultured rat neuronal stem cells induced by hypoxia and the activity of Caspase-3, in order to provide the further evidence for the molecular mechanism of neuroprotection of SM injection. Methods The neuronal stem cells from neonatal rat hippocampus were cultured and divided randomly into normal control group, hypoxia group and SM treatment group. After Hoechst staining, the apoptotic morphological change and apoptosis percentage were observed under fluorescence microscope. The activities of Caspase-3 in the 3 groups were evaluated by the colorimetric assay. Results Compared with normal control group [(2.75±0.28)%, 1.16±0.07], the percentage of apoptosis and the activity of Caspase-3 were increased significantly in neuronal stem cells cultured in hypoxia [(30.12%±2.09)%,3.85±0.41, P<0.05). Application of SM injection reduced markedly the percentage of apoptosis and the activity of Caspase-3 of the neuronal stem cells cultured in hypoxia [(9.16±1.34)%, 1.50±0.09, P<0.05].Conclusion SM injection can depress the apoptosis of the rat neuronal stem cells induced by hypoxia,so as to exert the neuroprotection.
