1.The status and progress of relationship between dyslipidemia and diabetic retinopathy
Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases 2016;32(2):210-212
Dyslipidemia plays an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR).A preliminary study found that low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,apolipoprotein (Apo) B and Apo B / Apo A1 ratio were positively correlated with DR,while high-density lipoprotein cholesterol,Apo A1 was negatively correlated with DR and proliferative DR.Reducing the blood fats to be helpful to DR control.However,the mechanism of hyperlipidemia in the pathogenesis of DR,the reason of dyslipidemia in diabetic patients and the interaction between hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia in DR are not clear yet.Moreover,there is no predictive indicators related to blood lipid for DR.Understanding the relationship between dyslipidemia and DR can provide definite evidence for fat-reducing therapy for DR control.

The guidelines for standard nursing in the PET/MR imaging examination included preparation of examination,injecting drug,observing during scanning,post scanning care,management of adverse reaction of contrast agent and radiation protection.The purpose of these guidelines could were to provide the practical and effective management for nursing care in PET/MR imaging,and offer a framework for nurses that could provide useful and helpful in clinical practice and research.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the associations between air pollution and adverse health outcomes on respiratory diseases and to estimate the short-term effects of air pollutions [Particulate matter with particle size below 10 microns (PM(10)), PM(10) particulate matter with particle size below 2.5 microns (PM(2.5)), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), sulphur dioxide (SO₂) and ozone (O₃)] on respiratory mortality in China.
METHODSData related to the epidemiological studies on the associations between air pollution and adverse health outcomes of respiratory diseases that published from 1989 through 2014 in China, were collected by systematically searching databases of PubMed, SpringerLink, Embase, Medline, CNKI, CBM and VIP in different provinces of China. Short-term effects between (PM(10), PM(2.5), NO₂, SO₂, O₃) and respiratory mortality were analyzed by Meta-analysis method, and estimations were pooled by random or fixed effect models, using the Stata 12.0 software.
RESULTSA total of 157 papers related to the associations between air pollution and adverse health outcomes of respiratory diseases in China were published, which covered 79.4% of all the provinces in China. Results from the Meta-analysis showed that a 10 µg/m³ increase in PM10, PM(2.5), NO₂, SO₂, and O₃was associated with mortality rates as 0.50% (95% CI: 0-0.90%), 0.50% (95% CI: 0.30%-0.70%), 1.39% (95% CI: 0.90%-1.78%), 1.00% (95% CI: 0.40%-1.59%) and 0.10% (95% CI: -1.21%-1.39%) in respiratory tracts, respectively. No publication bias was found among these studies.
CONCLUSIONThere seemed positive associations existed between PM(10)/PM(2.5)/NO₂/SO₂and respiratory mortality in China that the relationship called for further attention on air pollution and adverse health outcomes of the respiratory diseases.
