Objective To study the levels of serum homocysteine(Hcy) ,high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and blood lipid and their correlation in the different age stage patients with cerebral infarction .Methods 352 patients with cerebral infarction receiving treatment in the hospital from December 2011 to November 2013 were selected as the study subjects and divided into the youth group ,middle age group and elderly group by age ,with contemporaneous 134 healthy individuals of physical examination as the control group .Serum lipids ,hs-CRP ,Hcy levels and the rate of abnormal test results were compared among 4 groups and the bi-variate correlation analysis was performed .Results The serum hs-CRP ,Hcy levels in the youth group were higher than those in the control group ,while the high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) level was lower than tha tin the control group ,the difference was statistically significant (P<0 .05) .The serum low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C) ,total cholesterol (TC) ,hs-CRP and Hcy levels in the middle age and the elderly groups were significantly higher than those in the control group ,while the HDL-C level was significantly lower than that in the control group ,the difference was statistically significant (P<0 .05) .The abnormal rates of HDL-C ,hs-CRP and Hcy test results in the youth ,middle and elderly groups were significantly higher than those in the control group with statistical difference (P< 0 .05) .The abnormal rates of LDL-C detection results in the middle age group and elderly group were significantly higher than that in the control group ,the difference was statistically significant (P<0 .05) .Hcy ,hs-CRP and lipid in the youth group ,middle group and elderly group had no significant correlation ;HDL-C was negatively correlated with hs-CRP (P<0 .05);TC was positively correlated with LDL-C ,HDL-C and triglyceride(P<0 .05) .Conclusion Hyperhomocys-teinemia is an independent risk factor for cerebral infarction occurrence ,has no significant correlation with blood lipid and hs-CRP levels ,and can be used as a reliable indicator of the disease condition monitoring .

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the knowledge，attitude and behaviors (KAB) of rural residents. Methods A correlative-descriptive design was used for the study. A cluster sampling of 1952 rural residents aged 18-60 years old in 8 villages of Lantian county was selected. Results The results showed as follows. The total correct rate of knowledge was 50.9%; 43.5% believed that the prevalence of HIV/AIDS in China indicated decline of the moral value; 71.3% never use condom when having sex in the past;There were positive relationships between knowledge and attitude,using condoms during sex and using condoms during first sex respectively (P<0.01). Conclusion The attitude and behavior on HIV/AIDS of the rural residents are largely determined by their knowledge.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of monitoring blood glucose in term infants with asphyxia. Methods The blood glucouse within 24 hours of admission and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed in full-term neonates with asphyxia admitted from January, 2011 to December, 2012. Results Among 256 term infants with asphyxia, 95 cases (37.11%) had abnormal blood glucose, 63 cases (24.61%) were hypoglycemia and 32 (12.50%) were hyperglycemia. The incidence of mild asphyxia and severe asphyxia, the number of damaged organ were significantly different among infants with hypoglycemia, normal blood glucose, and hyperglycemia (all P<0.001). Among 256 term infants, 206 cases were mild asphyxia, 50 cases were serve asphyxia. The incidence of abnormal blood glucose and hyperglycemia were significantly higher in infants with serve asphyxia than those in infants with mild asphyxia (P<0.01). Among 256 term infants, 227 cases (88.67%) had organ damaged. 96 cases involved one organ, 72 cases involved two organs, and 59 cases involved three or more organs. The incidence of abnormal blood glucose, hypoglycemia, hyperglucemia were significantly different among infants invoved one, two or threr and more organs. The incidence of hyperglycemia was the highest in infants with three or more organ damaged, and the incidence of hypoglycemia was the highest in infants with two organ damaged. Conclusions The term infants with severe asphyxia and more organ damaged were prone to with abnormal blood glucose.

Objective To study the diagnostic and distinguishing diagnostic value in primary hepatic carcinoma (PHC)and metastatic hepatic carcinoma (MHC)by the serum sialic acid (SA)detection.Methods During January 2012 to June 2014, 100 cases of patients with PHC,91 cases of patients with MHC,155 cases of benign liver disease patients,and 139 healthy people in Wuyi Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital were included into the study.The concentration of serum SA and AFP were detected by chemical enzymatic method and chemiluminescence method,SPSS1 9.0 was used to analysis the results.Re-sults The concentration of serum SA in PHC patients (701.08±189.33 mg/L)were significantly higher than benign liver disease patients (588.38±98.51 mg/L)and healthy people (572.37±89.13 mg/L),there was statistical significance (P=0.000),the significantly statistical differences were also in MHC (790.20±162.29 mg/L)and PHC patients (P=0.027). Serum SA in the diagnosis of MHC sensitivity,specificity and AUC were 84.6%,85.2% and 0.895,compared with serum AFP (sensitivity 22.2%,specificity 29.6% and AUC 0.301)had statistically significance (P=0.000).Conclusion The se-rum SA has important clinical significance in the diagnosis and distinguishing diagnosis of PHC and MHC.

Traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) are in great demand all over the world, especially in the developing world, for primary health care due to their superior merits such as low cost, minimal side effects, better cultural acceptability, and compatibility with humans. However, Chinese medicines consist of several herbs which may contain tens, hundreds, or even thousands of constituents. How these constituents interact with each other, and what the special active ones are, may be the biggest bottleneck for the modernization and globalization of TCMs. Valid methods to evaluate the quality of TCMs are therefore essential and should be promoted and be developed further through advanced separation and chromatography techniques. This paper reviews the strategies used to control the quality of TCMs in a progressive perspective, from selecting single or several ingredients as the evaluation marker, to using different kinds of chromatography fingerprint methods. In summary, the analysis and quality control of TCMs are developing in a more effective and comprehensive manner to better address the inherent holistic nature of TCMs.
