Hyperhomocysteinemia is one of the independent risk factors of cerebrovascular diseases. Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T gene mutation often results in the increase of plasma homocysteine levels, but the relationship between the genetic polymorphism of MTHFR and cerebrovascular diseases is not significant.

With the development of life science and medical technology,myocardial fibrosis is being increasingly recognized as a new therapeutic target for heart diseases.However,traditional methods for detection of myocardial fibrosis,such as myocardial biopsy and laboratory assay of serum metabolites or enzymes,are not satisfactory in meeting the clinical demands because of their intrinsic limitations.Molecular imaging may non-invasively and quantitatively evaluate the presence/absence,degree and turnover of myocardial fibrosis in vivo with good specificity,thus being useful for clinical assessment and intervention.Currently,the commonly used molecular imaging modalities for evaluation of myocardial fibrosis include SPECT,PET and MRI.It is hopeful that the molecular probe for targeted ultrasound technology may also be developed in the near future.This review highlights the current status and future trends of molecular imaging in myocardial fibrosis.

Objective To investigate the role of FHIT in NSCLC and the relativity between FHIT and cigarette.Methods 81 cases of NSCLC and 7 cases of the nomal lung tisses were examined for FHIT by immunochemical(S-P).Results The postive expression rates of FHIT were significantly lower than those in nomal lung tisses(P

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value and clinical significance of preoperative staging in gastric cancer with induced pneumoperitoneum in spiral CT (SCTPP). Methods Both routine SCT and SCTPP were performed in 52 lean patients suffered from gastric cancers, and comparison was made between SCT findings and surgical and histopathologic findings. Results The accuracy of routine SCT and SCTPP in determining the T-staging was 72% and 96%, respectively (?2=8.0, P0.05). The sensitivity in determining M-staging was 61% and 100%, respectively (?2=0.04, P

Objective The effects of free fatty acid on leptin receptor in rat islet cells were investigated. Methods Islet cells of newborn sprague Dawley rats were incubated with palmitate acid (0 25mmol/L) or oleic acid (0 125mmol/L) for 12 hours, 24 hours and 36 hours respectively. Western blotting was used to assess the protein content of leptin receptor in rat islet cells. The RNA expression level of leptin receptor was assayed by RT PCR. Tyrosine phospholation of leptin receptor was determined by method of immuno precipitation. Results The protein content of leptin receptor in rat islet cells was significantly decreased after being incubated with free fatty acids for 24 and 36 hours compared with the control ( P

Objective To explore the relationship between the postoperative prophylactic antibiotics and surgical site infection rates after breast cancer surgery.Methods Retrospective review of patients with breast surgical procedures between March 2007 to March 2016 were included,267 cases only preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis as control group,and 117 cases of preoperative and postoperative prophylactic antibiotics as research group.The surgical site infection( SSI) rates were compared.Results There was no statistically significant association between research groups and control group of SSI rates for both a 30-day postoperative period and beyond.Further,There was also no statistically significant association between research groups with drains and control group with drains of SSI rates for both a 30-day postoperative period and beyond.Conclusion There is no significant relationship between postoperative prophylactic antibiotics and surgical site infection rates after breast cancer surgery.

Objective To investigate the effect of Xuesetong Dripping Pills combined with alprostadil intervention on serum brain natriuretic peptide in elderly patients with chronic congestive heart failure.Methods In 74 patients with chronic congestive heart failure, were randomly divided into observation group and control group, 37 cases in each group.Control group received conventional method.The observation group received Xuesetong Dripping Pills combined with alprostadil on the basis of conventional therapy.Compared the efficacy, the heart function level, walking test and level of serum brain natriuretic peptide between two groups after 15 days’ treatment.Results The total efficiency of observation group was 94.59%, which was higher than 75.68% in the control group, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment, the heart function level improvement in the observation group was better than the control group, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment, 6 min walking test in the observation group(316.4 ±20.7) m, was better than the control group(303.5 ±28.1) m, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The level of serum brain natriuretic peptide in the observation group(608.9 ±158.1)ng/L, was lower than that of the control group(792.7 ±179.4) ng/L, the difference was statistically significant ( P <0.05 ) .Conclusion Xuesetong Dripping Pills combined with alprostadil has good curative effect in the treatment of chronic congestive heart failure,can relieve the abnormal increase of serum brain natriuretic peptide, improve blood circulation and heart function.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the hand hygiene situation of medical staff in order to carry out supervising and monitoring on their hand hygiene pertinently.METHODS The hand hygiene monitoring data from Jan 2004 to Dec 2007 were retrospectively analyzed.RESULTS The total qualified rate of medical staff hand hygiene was 91.4%;the qualified rate of hand hygiene monitoring for doctors was 89.8%,and it was 96.7% for nurses;the qualified rate of medical staff working in the type-Ⅱenvironment was 93.6%,and the qualified rate of those working in the type-Ⅲ environment was 95.2%;for medical students and refresher doctors,it was 81.0 %.CONCLUSIONS The medical staff still lack the knowledge on hands' cleanliness and disinfection.The supervisors should strengthen monitoring on hand hygiene;some new regulations should be established and practiced,and the hand washing equipments should be updated;the medical staff's compliance of hand hygiene should be improved,and their conceptions of hand hygiene should be strengthened;all-sided originalities on hand hygiene should be carried out in order to reduce the occurring of hospital infections.

Denture stomatitis is one of the most common problems appearing after patients wearing removable dentures,which appears more frequently in maxillary complete dentures. The clinical symptom is that the mucosa of the stress-bearing area of denture base broadly gets red,and forms the boundary diffusion erythema. Sometimes when the surface of denture base and the mucosa of stress-bearing area are not close well,some granules will be found at the surface of the erythema. With the world's gradually stepping into the aging society,the number of people who have to wear removable dentures is increasing,because dentition defect or edentulous affected by any reasons. As a result,how to solve the secondary disease such as denture stomatitis is becoming a hot spot which more and more researchers concern about. This paper summaries the development of prevention of denture stomatitis in prosthetic area via selection of base materials,manufacture of denture,sterilization of denture,and improvement of base.
