Objective To identify and evaluate the important risk factors for preeclampsia.Methods Databases of PubMed,Web of Science,Ovid CBM,China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database,Wanfang and VIP Database were searched from January 1,1990 to December 31,2012 to collect the cohort and case control studies involving the risk factors for preeclampsia.According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,data of the included studies were extracted.Meta-analysis was performed using Stata 12.0 software with DerSimonian Laird model to calculate OR and its 95%CI of each risk factor.Results A total of 20 studies involving 53 393 patients in the research group and 1 197 773 cases in the control group were included.Fifteen risk factors for preeclampsia were investigated,including:history of preeclampsia (OR=10.27,95%CI:7.67-13.75),complication with chronic kidney diseases(OR=4.69,95%CI:1.94-11.33),history of chronic hypertension (OR-3.47,95%CI:2.39 5.04),multiple pregnancy (OR-2.98,95%CI:2.43-3.66),pre pregnancy body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25(OR=2.47,95%CI:1.97 3.09),maternal hyperglycemia(gestational diabetes and pre existing diabetes)(OR=2.84,95%CI:2.28-3.55),primiparity (OR=2.47,95%CI:2.12-2.82),physical work during pregnancy (OR=1.62,95%CI:1.30-2.02) ; family history of hypertension (OR=2.14,95%CI:1.84-2.50),basic diastolic blood pressure ≥ 70 mmHg (OR=2.17,95%CI:1.44-3.27),low education levels less than junior school (OR=1.69,95%CI:1.34 2.15),basic systolic blood pressure ≥ 120 mmHg (OR=2.31,95%CI:1.86-2.86),urinary tract infection (OR=1.96,95%CI:1.54-2.48),maternal age ≥ 35 or ≤ 20 years (OR=1.43,95%CI:1.29 1.57) and mental ademosyne (OR=1.35,95%CI:1.24-1.47).In addition,smoking before or during pregnancy was found to decrease the incidence of preeclampsia (OR-0.66,95%CI:0.56 0.79).Conclusions The main risk factors for preeclampsia are:history ofpreeclampsia,complication with chronic kidney diseases,history of chronic hypertension,multiple pregnancy,pre-pregnancy BMI ≥ 25,maternal hyperglycemia,primiparity,work during pregnancy and family history of hypertension.Smoking may decrease the incidence of preeclampsia.Nevertheless,more emphasis should be laid the adverse perinatal outcomes of smoking.

Objective To investigate the risk factors and treatment of local recurrence after Dixon operation of rectal cancer.Methods The clinical data of forty-seven patients who had local recurrence after Dixon operation of rectal cancer in our hospital from January 2011 to December 2013 was analyzed retrospectively.According to literature review,the high risk factors and treatment methods of local recurrence of rectal cancer in China and abroad were analyzed.Results The treatment methods of patients with local recurrence after anterior resection were radical resection,palliative resection and chemotherapy.The prognosis of patients with radical resection whose overall survival time was (38.202±2.411) months,better than that with palliative resection ((24.591±2.150) months),better than that with chemotherapy ((12.833±1.033) months).There was a significant difference in the survival time among the three groups (χ2=30.155,P<0.001).Conclusion Fully understanding of high risk factor can help reduce the probability of local recurrence.For patients with local recurrence of the rectal cancer,radical resection should be performed.In case that radical surgery is not possible,positive treatments should be adopted if the patients are in good physical condition.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of peripartum hysterectomy in placenta previa through retrospective study of 3 840 placenta previa cases. Methods The clinical data of 3 840 patients with placenta previa who delivered in West China Second University Hospital between Jan 2005 and June 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. The relationship of certain factors and peripartum hysterectomy was analyzed, including maternal age, residence place, parity, prior curettage, prior cesarean section, twin or multiple pregnancy, antenatal vaginal bleeding, type of placenta previa, suspected placenta accreta, antenatal level of hemoglobin and gestational age at delivery. Results The prevalence of placenta previa was 4.84% (3 840/79 304) in West China Second University Hospital during the study period, and the incidence of preipartum hysterectomy in patients with placenta previa was 2.76% (106/3 840). One-factor analysis demonstrated that residence place, parity, times of prior curettage, prior cesarean section, prenatal vaginal bleeding, anterior placenta, type of placenta previa, placenta accreta, antenatal anemia and gestational age at delivery were potential risk factors for peripartum hysterectomy (P<0.01). Variables with P<0.1 in one-factor analysis were introduced to multi-factor logistic regression analysis, which suggested that one prior cesarean section (OR=12.9,95%CI:6.3-26.3), two or more prior cesarean sections (OR=14.4, 95%CI:3.9-53.2), anterior placenta (OR=4.8, 95%CI:2.1-10.7), complete placenta previa (OR=5.9, 95%CI:1.8-42.5), placenta accreta (OR=11.2, 95%CI:6.8-18.6), antenatal hemoglobin<100 g/L (OR=1.7, 95%CI:1.0-2.8) and delivery before 34 gestational weeks (OR=3.2, 95%CI:1.6-6.3) were independent risk factors of peripartum hysterectomy in patients with placenta previa (P<0.05). Conclusions Prior cesarean section, anterior placenta, complete placenta previa, placenta accreta, antenatal anemia and delivery before 34 gestational weeks are high risk factors of peripartum hysterectomy in placenta previa patients. Perinatal care and risk evaluation before cesarean section are important to improve perinatal outcomes and reduce peripartum hysterectomy.

AIM: To observe the expression of proteins induced by whole-body irradiation in mice with low dose X-rays and their biological activity. METHODS: To analyse the expression of protein induced by whole-body irradiation with 75mGy X-rays and sham-irradiation, the method of gel filtration with Sephadex G-100 and HPLC were used. The biological activity of protein expressed in thymocytes was observed by mouse splenocyte proliferation and chromosome aberration of human peripheral blood lymphocytes. RESULTS: HPLC analysis showed that there was a marked decrease in expression of 24.5 kD protein molecule in the fractions of thymocyte extract in comparison with the corresponding fractions from the sham-irradiated control mice. These protein fractions from the thymocytes of the irradiated mice at the concentration of 6.25 mg/L showed both inhibitory effect on normal T cell proliferation and protective effect on the chromosome damage induced by high dose radiation. CONCLUSION: Down regulation of 24.5 kD protein molecule expression may have implications in the mechanism of immunoenhancement and cytogenetic adaptive response induced by low dose radiation.

Objective: To investigate the rate of depression among Beijing residents aged 55 or above. Methods: 2660 Beijing residents aged 55 or above in a cohort study of year 2000 were followed and screened with CES-D. Demographic data, information of health status and activity of daily living were also collected. Results: The rate of depression in this cohort was 13.5% (360/2660), the rate of men was 9.6%, that of women was 17.4%, women had significantly higher rate than men. The rate of depression of residents in rural area was much higher than that of urban area (20.9% vs. 7.4%), the illiterate resident had higher rate of depression than those with at least primary education (20% vs. 8.7%). Residents above 75 or below that had no difference in rate of depression. Depression had close relation with poor health status and disability in activity of daily living. Conclusion:The rate of depression is higher in women and in residents of rural area or in those illiterate. Depression is closely related to poor health status and disability in daily living.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of acupoints stimulation with silver spike point therapy on insomnia.Methods60 patients with insomnia were randomly divided into the trial group and control group with 30 cases in each group. Patients of the trial group were treated by acupoints stimulation with silver spike point therapy and patients of control group were treated only with Clonopin. All patients of two groups were tested with Self-Rating Scale of Sleep (SRSS) before and after treatment.ResultsThe curative effect rate of the trial group was 86.6%; that of the control group was 60%; the curative effect of the trial group was superior to the control group (P<0.05). SRSS difference of the trial group pre-and post-treatment was 12.79±3.20; that of the control group was 10.1±3.89. There was also a significant difference between two groups (P<0.01).ConclusionThe silver spike point therapy has the better curative effect on insomnia than Clonopin.
