Background:Gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD)is a common disease,its incidence is related to geographic environment and race. Studies reported on epidemiology of GERD in minority groups are rare. Aims:To investigate the prevalence and related risk factors of GERD in She population in Ningde. Methods:Three natural villages of She population in Ningde were selected for undergoing the cluster random sampling method. GERD was diagnosed by gastroesophageal reflux disease questionnaire(GerdQ)with score ≥8,and questionnaire was used to detect the prevalence and risk factors of GERD. Results:A total of 936 residents completed the questionnaire,and 89 were diagnosed as GERD, the prevalence was 9. 50% . Univariate analysis showed that the risk of GERD was significantly increased in She population with body mass index(BMI)≥24 kg/ m2 ,intake of strong tea or oily diet(P all < 0. 01). Multivariate analysis showed that BMI ≥24 kg/ m2(OR = 3. 022,95% CI:1. 917-4. 765),intake of strong tea(OR = 2. 145,95% CI:1. 338-3. 438) and oily diet(OR = 2. 016,95% CI:1. 208-3. 318)were the risk factors of GERD. Conclusions:The prevalence of GERD is high in She population in Fujian Province,and the etiology may be related to overweight and diet habit.

Objective To explore a new scanning technique to reduce and avoid image artifacts of thoracoabdominal CT and improve image quality for patients who cannot raise their arms. Methods Sixty-one patients with arm-raising disability between March 2004 and May 2009 were enrolled in the study. Thirty-one cases before June 2007 were scanned with their arms beside their body (control group), 30 cases after June 2007 were scanned with their arms shifting to different imaging planes of the spine(study group), and another 30 patients who can raising their arms were taken as routine group. The images artifacts were blindly evaluated by 5-points scale (severe, less severe, moderate, minimum and no artifact) by 2 experienced CT technologists and one radiologist and compared between the three groups (χ~2 test). CT values and its noise of the liver with or without artifact of the three groups were measured and analyzed by one-way ANOVA test. Results In the control group, 11 cases had severe, 15 cases had less severe, 5 cases had moderate. In the study group, 6 cases had moderate, 15 cases had minimum, 9 cases had no artifact. In the routine group, 8 cases minimum and 22 cases had no artifact. Image quality was significantly improved in the study group compared to the conventional group where χ~2 = 95.32 and P <0.01. CT value and the noise of the liver without artifact were (54.5±3.0) HU and 10. 7±2.4 in the control group, (52.0±3.5) HU and 10.7±0.5 in the study group, (53.7±3.1) HU and 9.9±0.5 in the routine group, respectively. CT value and noise of the liver with artifact were (41.7±8.4) HU and 17.9±2.6 in control group, (53.1±6.9) HU and 11.0±0.7 in the study group, (54.1±2.4) HU and 9.9±0.5 in the routine group, respectively. The CT value and its noise variation with artifact were significantly higher in the control group than the study group and the control group, where F = 36.352,235. 848, respectively and P <0.01. Conclusion The image quality can be improved and the artifact can be minimized for the patients with arm-raising disability by shifting their arm position to the different imaging planes of the spine.

AIM: To study the distribution of C46T polymorphism of factor Ⅻ(FⅫ) in Chinese Han population and the association of the polymorphism with coronary artery disease(CAD) and acute coronary syndrome(ACS). METHODS: Selected coronary angiography was performed in 168 CAD patients and 210 controls. Genetype of FⅫ was typed by mutagenically separated polymerase chain reaction assay(MSPCR). RESULTS: FⅫ allelic frequencies of C and T were 29.8%, 70.2% and 31.4%, 68.6% in CAD and controls, respectively(P>0.05). Genetype distribution was in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The frequency of CC, CT, TT in CAD and control was 8.7%, 40.5%, 50.0% and 5.2%, 52.6%, 42.2%. The association between FⅫ genetype and CAD(χ~2=6.393, P<0.05) was observed. As compared with the CC group, the CT genetype was a protective factor for CAD(OR 0.43, 95% CI 0.19-0.97). When compared to stable coronary artery disease, the frequency of TT genetype is significant less in ACS group(45.0% vs 62.5%, χ~2=4.200, P<0.05). The distribution of genetype in C46T was no significant difference among the numbers of stenosed coronary artery. CONCLUSION: The C46T polymorphism of FⅫ is association with CAD in Chinese Han population. The C→T mutation may be a protective factor against CAD and ACS.
