Body weight, height, weight index as well as obesity incidence of 4780 people (male 3216, female 1564) aged from 20 to 78 including various kinds of job were investigated in Fusan district in Shandong province. The body weight and height were measured by conventional method. The weight indexwas estimated in terms of the value of weight(kg)/height(cm)2 ? 100. The correlationregression between sex, age, height and weight was calculated as well.The result showed that the average weight index ranging from 0.1933 to 0.2525 in males and 0.1951 to 0-2563 in famales was noticed. Accordingly, the incidence of overweight and obesity was 7.71% and 8.33% in males and 6.96% and 4.73% in females respectively. The correlation coefficients between weight and age (r = 0.9838 within 20-35 in age in males, r = 0.9846 within 20-50 in age in famales), and between weight and height (r = 0.9798 within 144-180cm in males, r = 0.8595 within 140-170cm in females) were highly significant.The data mentioned above were also discussed briefly.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of soluble β-amyloid protein (Aβ) oligomers on the expression levels of insulin signaling transduction cascades-associated proteins including insulin receptor ( InsR),insulin receptor substrate-Ⅰ( IRS-Ⅰ) and protein kinase B (PKB) of rat hippocampal neurons,and the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in depth.MethodsSoluble Aβ oligomers (5 μl) were injected into the lateral ventriculus of the AD group by a microinjector under the stereotaxic apparatus.Normal saline solution ( NS,5 μl) was injected into the NS group in the same way,and the control group received the puncture without injection. It was repeated after 1 week and the behavior of all rats was evaluatedbyY-mazetestafter2weeks.Thenhippocampuswasremovedandunderwent immunohistochemical staining to detect the expression of proteins associated.ResultsCompared with the other groups,learning and memory ability of the Aβ-treated rats were impaired.To be specific,the times of learning were increased and the times of memory were decreased. However,there was no significant difference between the NS group and the control group.Besides,the expression levels of InsR,IRS-Ⅰ,and PKB were decreased in AD group showing that a mean optical density of staining on these proteins ( InsR:0.12 ± 0.0l ; IRS-Ⅰ:0.14 ± 0.02; PKB:0.12 ± 0.03 ) was reduced in contrast with that in the NS group and the control group.Whereas there was no significant difference between the NS group (0.40 ± 0.02,0.39 ± 0.06,0.38 ± 0.03,mean difference:- 0.13,- 0.13,- 0.17,all P ＜ 0.05 ) and the control group (0.38 ± 0.07,0.35 ± 0.03,0.35 ± 0.06,mean difference:- 0.15,- 0.07,- 0.73,all P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionsSoluble Aβ1-42 induced learning and memory disability of the rats.The mechanism might be that Aβ can lead to disorders of the insulin signaling transduction pathway of hippocampal neurons and decrease the expression levels of the proteins in the pathway.

Objective To explore the effect of peritoneal dialysis to treat renal failure in children.Methods There were 11 admitted patients of renal failure in our department from July 2003 to April 2008.Their clinical data and follow-up results were analyzed.Results No patient was dead during treatment.The average time of peritoneal dialysis treatment in the children with acute renal failure was 15.5 days in hospital,which was 22.8 days in the chronic patients.After treatment the levels of serum nitrogen and creatine were decreased significantly from (34.03±8.44)mmol/L and (710.09±167.54)μmol/L to (15.94±4.93)mmol/L and (233.87±92.71)μmol/L (P＜0.01).The serum sodium and bicarbonate ion were increased from (130.91±9.15)mmol/L and (14.56±2.07)mmol/L to (139.46±3.98)mmol/L and (22.47±3.29)mmol/L (P＜0.05,P＜0.01).The duration of follow-up were from one month to 5 years.The level of serum nitrogen and creatine in 5 patients of acute renal failure were normal and the analysis of urine was also normal during follow-up.One patient had renal transplantation after peritoneal dialysis.Three patients still regularly underwent peritoneal dialysis.Conclusion The peritoneal dialysis combining with multi-modality treatment was the better style of renal replacement therapy in renal failure patients.

Zhengqing fengtongning tablet is 20 mg each tablet.METHODS: Based on the randomization and sequence of visiting, the cases were divided into observing group and the control at the ratio of 3:1.In the observing group, hanshibi granule was administrated, 1 bag/time,3 times/day, infused with water. In the control, zhengqing fengtongning tablet was administered orally, 2 tablets/time, 3 times/day; 1 week later,if there was no harmful reaction, it was administered 3 tablets/time,3 times/day. For rheumatic arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS),the drugs were taken for 2 months as 1 course, and for knee osteoarthritis,the drugs were taken for 1 month as 1 course. The changes of ESR, C-reactive protein (CRP) and rheumatic factor (RF) and uric acid (UA) were determined and recorded. Criteria on evaluation: ① Evaluation on therapeutic effects on syndromes: Remarkable effect: the symptoms were improved remarkably after treatment and symptom integral was 0-1 score or decreased by ≥ 2/3. Effect: the symptoms were improved after treatment and the symptom integral was decreased by≥1/3.② Evaluation on therapeutic effects on symptoms: Remarkable effect: The symptom integral was reduced to 0 score or reduced by 2 scores after treatment, such as joint pain, swelling, tender pain, morning stiffness and functional impairment. Effect: the integral was reduced by 1 score after treatment. ③ Evaluation on total therapeutic effects on diseases: Remarkable effect: the symptoms and physical signs disappeared basically, the main laboratory indexes were improved remarkably and reduced by ≥ 50%. Effect: The symptoms and physical signs were alleviated and the main laboratory indexes were improved.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:① Total clinical therapeutic effect,therapeutic effect on different symptoms and diseases between two groups.②Safety of hanshibi granule.RESULTS: Totally 400 cases were employed, of which, 300 cases were in observing group and 100 cases in the control. In observing group, 19 cases were dropped out and 281 cases were in the statistics. In the control,6 cases were dropped out and 94 cases were in the statistics.①Comparison of total clinical therapeutic effects between two groups: The total effective rate in the observing group was higher significantly than that in the control (94.31％, 84.04％, P ＜ 0.01). ② Comparison of therapeutic effects on different symptoms between two groups: There was no significant difference in the therapeutic effects on joint pain, swelling,tender pain, functional disturbance and morning stiffness between two groups (P ＞ 0.05). ③ Comparison of therapeutic effects on different diseases between two groups: There was no significant difference in the therapeutic effects on RA, AS and knee osteoarthritis (P ＞ 0.05). ④ Safetyof hanshibi granule: abnormal urine routine for a part of cases before treatment was improved after treatment. ST-T wave alternation in ECG for a part of cases before treatment was not aggravated obviously after medication.CONCLUSION: Both hanshibi granule and zhengqingfengtong tablet, the control drug improves significantly joint pain, swelling, tender pain, functional impairment and morning stiffness in rheumatism due to blockage of cold and damp, in which, the effect of intervention of hanshibi granule is superior to that of the control drug, without obvious harmful reactions;therefore, such drug can be taken as a safe and effective one for rheumatism due to blockage of cold and damp.

Objective To investigate the correlation between serum insulin,lipid expression substances and breast cancer.Methods From January to August 2002,blood samples were collected from 90 patients with breast cancer,40 patients with breast benign disease and 100 healthy control subjects in Shanxi Province People Hospital.Serum insulin was measured by ELISA,serum leptin was measured by radioimmunoassay (RIA) and serum lipid substances were measured by Biochemistry Auto-machine.Results The serum insulin,leptin and TG concentration were significantly higher,but the HDL level was significantly lower in breast cancer group than in the groups of breast benign disease and healthy control(P＜0.01,respectively);There was no statistically significant difference between postmenopausal and premenopausal women in patients with breast cancer and breast benign disease(P＞0.05);There was no statistically significant difference in serum insulin level between positive lymph node breast cancer and negative lymph node breast cancer(P=0.642);The relative risk (RR) of serum insulin level and body mass index(BMI) in breast cancer group was 0.164(P＞0.05).The increased serum insulin level was independent of diet and other known risk factors for breast cancer;Multiple logistic regression analyses observed a statistically significant association between serum insulin,leptin,TG and HDL levels and breast cancer,OR=1.120(95% CI:1.017～1.209),1.117(95% CI:1.046～1.193),OR=1.879(95% CI:1.148～3.076),OR=0.035 (95% CI:0.007～0.162),respectively.Conclusion The increased serum insulin,leptin and TG levels may be the risk factors of breast cancer.The increased serum HDL level maybe the protective factor of breast cancer.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of limbal relaxing incision ( LRl) for correcting corneal astigmatism during implantable collamer lens ( lCL) surgery.METHODS:A total of 185 eyes of 105 patients with high myopia and corneal keratometric astigmatism were included in the study. lCL surgery with concomitant relaxing incision was performed in 105 eyes of 60 patients in LRls group ( Group A) . Eighty eyes of 45 patients only underwent lCL surgery were in control group ( Group B) . All patients undergone ophthalmic examination that included uncorrected visual acuity ( UCVA ) , best -corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) , Pentacam analysis system to observe the changes of corneal astigmatism before and 1wk, 1 and 3mo after surgery.RESULTS: Respectively comparing UCVA between two groups in 1 and 3mo postoperatively, the P values were considered statistically significant ( P < 0. 05 ). But, respectively comparing BCVA between two groups in 1wk, 1 and 3mo postoperatively, the P values were considered no statistically significant ( P > 0. 05 ). Preoperative corneal astigmatism was 1. 52 ± 0. 55D in group A and 1. 48 ± 0. 57D in group B, there was no statistically significant difference (P>0. 05). One week postoperatively, the astigmatism was 0. 55 ± 0. 41D in group A and 1. 20 ± 0. 48D in group B. One month postoperatively, the astigmatism was 0. 60 ± 0. 38D in group A and 0. 93 ± 0. 47D. Three months postoperatively, the astigmatism was 0. 51 ± 0. 32D in group A and 0. 96 ± 0. 40D in group B. The difference between the two groups were statistically significant ( P<0. 05 ). The difference value of corned astigmatism before surgery and 1wk, 1 and 3mo after surgery had statistical significance ( P<0. 05). ln LRls group, at preoperative and postoperative time points, the average corneal astigmatism changes were also considered statistically significant difference (P<0. 05). CONCLUSlON: LRls performed during lCL surgery appeared to be an effective and safer procedure to reduce pre-existing corneal astigmatism and improve UCVA as well as the visual quality.
