369 patients with hypertension living in Xietu community were randomized into 2 groups:intervention group receiving the group-interference-management and control group receiving routine hypertension management services.We found that patients in the intervention group had better self-management behaviors,self-efficacy and health status in comparison with the control group (P＜0.05).The systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the intervention group decreased more remarkably than that in the control group (P＜0.05).Our result suggested that the community-based hypertension group-interference-management model is more effective to control hypertension than the routine hypertension management services.

AlM: To evaluate the application of phacoemulsification of different nucleus density using ozil and traditional mode.METHODS: A total of 89 eyes (72 patients ) ( visual acuity was of 0. 6 and above after 1mo follow - up) of different nucleus density level (LOCS Ⅱ criteria grade Ⅲ 46 eyes, grade Ⅳ and more 43 eyes ) were randomly assigned into 2 groups: ozil group (group A), grade Ⅲ 22 eyes (torsional energy 80% lP on);grade Ⅳ and more 17 eyes (torsional energy 100% lP on); Traditional mode group(group B), grade Ⅲ 24 eyes (energy 50% ), grade Ⅳ and more 26 eyes (energy 60% ~ 70% ) . All surgeries were performed by the same experienced surgeon,who use the chop to split the nucleus in the application of phacoemulsification. lntraoperative parameters were total equivalent pawer ( TEP ), cumulative dissipated energy ( CDE ) and effective phaco time ( EPT ) and surgical complications. The effectiveness of the two modes in dealing with hard - core cataract phacoemulsification were compared.RESULTS: GradeⅢ nucleus dealing: TEP of ozil group was significantly higher than that of the traditional mode group [(24.58±7.78)% vs (13.84±1.97) %]and EPT of ozil group was significantly lower than that of the traditional mode group (50. 59±14. 73 s vs 60. 19±9. 04 s, P<0. 05). CDE showed no difference between two groups [(13.12±6.03)% vs (13.38±2.85)]. Grade Ⅳ and more nucleus dealing: CDE [( 34. 10 ± 13. 48 )%] and EPT (104. 64±32. 4s) of the ozil group was higher than CDE [(30. 31 ± 13. 48)%] and EPT (93. 01 ± 41. 01s) of the traditional mode group, but there were no difference between two groups. Obstacles in the needle of phacoemulsification surgery: ozil group 4/17, traditional mode group 2/26 (χ2=2. 16, P=0. 14).CONCLUSlON: Bothozil and traditional mode can deal with all kinds of nucleus effectively and safely. Ozil mode is more efficacy and quick deal in gradeⅢnucleus. With the increase of nucleus hardness, the traditional mode still have the advantage of high efficiency and no obstacle to dealing patients with grade Ⅳ and more nucleus. Choose according to different nuclear hardness ultrasonic model can improve the operation efficiency and security.

Here we discuss whether N terminal sequencing is appropriate as one of the conventional control methods for monoclonal antibody products. We determined the N terminal sequences of two monoclonal antibody products targeting two antigens separately with both Edman degradation and mass peptide spectrometry. We also identified the characteristic peptide fragments with mass spectrometry. Furthermore, we analyzed their heterogeneity with ion exchange chromatography, capillary zone electrophoresis and Imaged Capillary Isoelectric Focusing. Edman degradation method showed that the N terminal 15 amino acids of heavy and light chains of the two monoclonal antibodies were identical. Peptide mass spectrometry demonstrated that T1 peptide fragments of heavy and light chains of the two antibodies were also the same. But in contrast, peptide mapping and the three analytical methods for heterogeneity analysis could effectively identify and differentiate the two antibodies. The N terminal sequences of two monoclonal antibodies are identical because the number of framework sequences of humanized or human monoclonal antibodies is relatively limited, so whether N terminal sequencing analysis could be regulated as one of the practical control methods should be carefully discussed. Our work also proves that the above analytical methods could combinatorially applied to the identification of monoclonal antibody products, and are more objective compared to N terminal sequencing.

Objective To investigate the dementia caregivers' awareness of dementia diagnosis for patients aged≥80 years in veterans community in Beijing.Methods Patients aged 80 years and over who were diagnosed as dementia were selected from Dec.2009 to Jul.2011 in the veterans community in Beijing.A face-to-face interview and questionnaire survey were conducted in dementia caregivers individually,including basic social demographic data (gender,age,educational background),awareness rate of dementia,treatment and drug use situation and their attitude to dementia patients.Results A total of 118 caregivers were investigated individually.The caregivers in this study were mainly the spouse of the patients,and most of them were elderly people.46.6％ (55/118) of caregivers were the spouse of the patients,and 52.5％ (62/118) of caregivers were 65 years old and over.The caregivers' awareness rate of dementia was 32.3％ (38/118) when patients were diagnosed as dementia.There was no correlations of gender,age and educational background with the awareness rate of dementia diagnosis (all P＞0.05).50％ of dementia patients received the dementia treatment,and only 17.8％ (21/118) of patients got the first line drug treatment for dementia (acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and / or memantine).98.3 ％ (116 / 118) of caregivers agreed that the dementia patients should be treated kindly.Conclusions The dementia caregivers are mainly patients' spouse in veterans community and most of them are the elderly.The awareness rate of dementia diagnosis is low among the caregivers.Most patients do not take the formal treatment.The social support for the dementia caregivers should be strengthened.

Objective To analyze the differences of size and charge heterogeneities between origi-nal humanized anti-TNF-αantibody and four similar biotherapeutic products ( SBP ) .Methods The size exclusion chromatography ( SEC-HPLC ) and weak cation exchange chromatography ( WCX-HPLC ) were used to analyze the size and charge heterogeneities , respectively.Carboxypeptidase B (CpB) treatment was employed to analyze the source of charge heterogeneity of the antibody products .Results Four SBPs showed the same pattern with the originator in SEC-HPLC, and no significant difference with the percentage of mono-mer was observed .The percentages of the aggregates of SBP-3 and SBP-4 were a little higher than those of the originator .The charge distribution of SBPs was significantly different from the originator ′s, especially in the basic region .The results from the samples treated with CpB indicated that the difference of charge distri -bution in the basic region might be caused by the C-terminal lysine variants .Conclusion Four SBPs showed similar size heterogeneity with the originator , but significant differences with charge heterogeneity were observed among them .The study suggested that more attention should be paid to the charge heterogene -ity analysis of the biosimilar products .

Objective To compare the capability of capillary electrophoresis-sodium dodecyl sul-fate ( CE-SDS) and size exclusion-high performance liquid chromatography ( SE-HPLC) for analysis of size heterogeneity of monoclonal antibody products .Methods The size heterogeneity of one humanized anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody was analyzed by using non-reduced and reduced CE-SDS, and conventional , de-natured and denatured reduced SE-HPLC.Results The percentage of aggregates detected by non-reduced CE-SDS (0.82%±0.01%) was equal to that by using denatured SE-HPLC (1.05%±0.02%), but it was significantly lower than that by using conventional SE-HPLC analysis (5.08%±0.10%).With regard to fragments analyzed with non-reduced antibodies, its percentage was (7.12±0.04)% measured by non-re-duced CE-SDS analysis that was significantly higher than that by conventional SE -HPLC analysis (0.02%± 0.01%) and denatured SE-HPLC analysis (0.62%±0.01%).Using reduced antibodies , the percentage of fragments was (3.19±0.50)%tested by reduced CE-SDS analysis that was significantly higher than that by using denatured reduced SE-HPLC analysis (0.07%±0.01%).Conclusion Conventional SE-HPLC was more objective than CE-SDS for content analysis of aggregates , as both the covalent and non-covalent forms of aggregates could be detected .Non-reduced CE-SDS could demonstrate the content of clips , while reduced CE-SDS showed the degraded fragments .Therefore, CE-SDS had an advantage over conventional SE-HPLC for content analysis of fragments .The use of the two analytical methods in combination provided solid techni-cal supports for the quality control of size heterogeneity of monoclonal antibodies .
