Objective To investigate the association between the ATP-binding cassette transporter A1(ABCA1)gene polymorphisms and plasma high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)level in Chinese general population.Methods M883I,R1587K and R219K polymorphisms of the ABCA1 gene were detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique in 376 unrelated Chinese healthy subjects.Results In the study population,the subjects with the KK1587 genotype had markedly lower HDL-C levels than those with RR1587 and RK1587 genotypes(P

OBJECTIVETo explore causes of shoulder pain and propose prevention measures in treating acromioclavicular joint dislocation.

METHODSFrom January 2005 to January 2013, 86 patients with acromioclavicular joint dislocation (Tossy III) were treated with hook plate fixation, and were divided into two groups. Bsaed on recovery of shoulder function mostly, the patients who suffered from rest pain, motion pain were named as shoulder pain group, while the patients without pain were named as painless group. In shoulder pain group, there were 21 cases including 15 males and and 6 females ranging the age from 22 to 62 years old with an average of (40.6±11.2) years old. There were 8 cases were on the left side and 13 cases were on the right side. In painless group, there were 65 cases including 36 males and and 29 females ranging the age from 19 to 65 years old with an average of (40.0±11.3) years old. There were 33 cases were on the left side and 32 cases were on the right side. The time from injury to operation ranged from 3 h to 8 d with an average of 34.6 h. Shoulder function of all patients were normal before injuried. Postoperative pain, activity of daily living (ADL), range of motion, deltoid muscle strength were compared. Anteflexion,rear protraction, abduction and upthrow of shoulder joint were also compared. Postoperative complications between two groups were observed and compared.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up from 12 to 48 months with an average of 18.5 months. Constant-Murley score were used to evaluate clinical efficacy at the least following up, and 13 cases got an excellent results, 5 moderate, 2 good and 1 poor in shoulder pain group ; while 61 cases were obtained excellent results, 3 moderate and 1 good in painless group. There were significantly differences between two groups in Constant-Murley score and activity of shoulder joint (P<0.05). In shoulder pain group, 3 cases were disconnected, 1 case occurred stress fracture, 9 cases were subacromial impingement syndrome, 5 cases occurred subluxation, 1 case occurred plate breakage and 11 cases were acromioclavicular arthritis.

CONCLUSIONChosing individual clavicular hook plate, fulfilling anatomic reset, paying attention to the repair of articular capsule ligament, and reducing hook and bone antagonism between stress is the key point of preventing and decreasing postoperative shoulder pain.

Objects To study the protective effects of cimetidine against oxidative stress in rats induced by cumulative low-dose irradiation.Methods Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups (10 each):normal control group,model control group,lentinan group [89mg/(kg.d)] and 3 dose groups of cimetidine.After oral administration,all the rats were exposed to γ-ray irradiation 8 hours/day for 12 days,and sacrificed on the 13th day.The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD),glutathione peroxidase (GPx),catalase (CAT) and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in serum,liver,thymus and spleen were determined.By using the superoxide anion radical system,hydroxyl radical system,H2O2 radical system,oxidation system of linoleic acid induced by alkane radical system and diphenyl picryl hydrazinyl radical (DPPH) radical system,the antioxidation activities of cimetidine were detected.Results The activities of SOD in liver and thymus decreased significantly,the GPx activity in serum,liver and spleen decreased significantly and MDA level in serum,liver and spleen increased significantly after 0.3Gy cumulative ionizing radiation.Cimetidine enhanced the activities of antioxidant enzymes in serum and organs,and reduced the MDA level.In a certain concentration range,cimetidine had different scavenging effects onto these radical systems,and showed good performance in hydroxyl radical.Conclusion Cimetidine can effectively ameliorate the oxidative stress from low-dose cumulative irradiation by scavenging free radicals,increase the activity of antioxidant enzymes and reduce the content of lipid peroxidation products,thus presents a potential radio protective effect.

Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of dual perfusion embolization and chemotherapy via hepatic artery and portal vein(combmation treatment) in the treatment of unresectable PHC.Methods Eighty-one cases of unresectable PHC were randomly divided into two gronps: (1) Combination treatment group.Forty-one cases,These cases received embolization and chemotherapy via hepatic artery and portal vein through a drug delivery system intraoperatively,and then embolization and chemotherapy via the drug pump were given periodically. (2) TACE group.Forty cases.These cases were treated with Seldinger's technique, the dosage of drugs were the same as used in the former group during laparotomy. After 3 times of treatment, AFP, the size of tumor, liver function, body weight, abdominal perimeter, survival time of the two groups were compared.Results The weight, AFP, decrease of tumour size in combination group were much better than those in TACE group( P 0.05). The median survival time in the two groups were 18.0 months and 11.1 months ( P =0.0001). The accumulating survival rate of 6, 9, 12, 24 months were 87.8%, 78.0% , 68.2%,31.7% in combination group, and 70.0%, 52.5%, 30.0%, 5.0% in TACE group, respectively . The factors affecting survival were therapeutic method, liver function, size of tumour.Conclusions Combination treatment is simple, convenient with less complications, and the effect is better than TACE. So it is an effective method for the unresectable hepatic carcinoma.

Objective To compare the effect of treating hyperglycemia on insulin pump therapy in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) and the patients with failure to oral antidiabetic therapy. Methods Selecting 32 patients with newly diagnosed T2DM(NDM group)and 64 T2DM patients with failure to oral antidiabetic therapy(ODM group),which were treated by insulin pump,having no significant difference of the level of blood glucose,body mass index(BMI),age,proportion of sex between NDM group and ODM group.

Objective: To investigate thestatus and control of blood lipid level among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus（T2DM）in rural communities of Zhejiang Province，and to provide evidence for blood lipid control for T2DM. Methods: A sample of 10 343 patients with T2DM managed by communities from Jiashan，Suichang and Yongkang in 2016 were recruited. Through the diabetes registry system，physical examination and laboratory tests，data of demographic features，blood pressure，body mass index（BMI），waist circumstance（WC），glycated hemoglobin（HbA1c），total cholesterol（TC），triglyceride（TG），low-density lipoprotein cholesterol（LDL-C）and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol（HDL-C）were collected to learn the status of blood lipid control. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the influencing factors for blood lipid control. Results: The control rate of TC，TG，LDL-C and HDL-C in patients with T2DM was 29.84%，58.72%，48.25% and 61.27%，respectively. About 11.76% of patients had all the four indicators in control，while 9.22% of patients failed in all. The higher control rates of all of the four indicators were seen in males than females，in older age，in lower BMI and in normal people than in central obese people（all P<0.05）. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that sex（OR=3.556，95%CI：3.070-4.119），age（OR=1.130，95%CI：1.060-1.204），WC（OR=0.989，95%CI：0.980-0.998）， BMI（OR=0.768，95%CI：0.688-0.857），systolic blood pressure（OR=0.991，95%CI：0.984-0.999），HbA1c level（OR=0.914，95%CI：0.876- 0.953），smoking（OR=0.768，95%CI：0.639-0.924）and drinking（OR=0.688，95%CI：0.536-0.884）were associated with the control of TC，TG，LDL-C and HDL-C in patients with T2DM. Conclusion The control rate of blood lipid is low in patients with T2DM in rural communities of Zhejiang Province，surveillance and interventions should be focused on sex，overweight/obesity，smoking，alcohol intake，blood glucose and blood pressure.
