Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) has gene polymorphism (ε2,ε3,and ε4).It has been confirmed that ApoE structural and functional abnormlities are closely associated with the hyperlipidemia,formation of atherosclerosis,and its severity,while both hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis are the risk factors for ischemic stroke.In recent years,although the relationship between the ApoE gene polymorphism and ischemic stroke has been extensively studied,the conclusions are not consistent.This article reviews the correlation studies between the ApoE gene polymorphism and ischernic stroke.

Phytoremediation effectiveness and remediation costs are driving factors of this project. Full utilization of plant resources after their being used for phytoremediation is an unsolved problem. GC/MS technique was used to investigate the volatiles of the flowers from Elsholtzia argyi (PFE1: Purple Flower Elsholtzia) and their variation (WFE: White Flower Elsholtzia), naturally growing in Pb/Zn mined area, and Elsholtzia argyi (PFE2: Purple Flower Elsholtzia), naturally growing in Jiuxi uncontaminated agriculture soil. Seventeen compounds constituting 86.88% of total essential oils were identified in PFE1, with 2,6-octadienoic acid,3,7-dimethyl-methyl ester being the main constituent (63.30%). Sixteen compounds accounting for 95.32% of total essential oils were identified in WFE, with caryophyllene being the main component (55.02%). Compared to PFE1, PFE2 contains lower level of 2,6-octadienoic acid,3,7-dimethyl-methyl ester (31.76%), which is the main constituent in the total essential oils of PFE2. Caryophyllene is the main ingredient of flavor. Elsholtzia ketone was identified in all the three Elsholtzia plants. It can be concluded that the selected Elsholtzia argyi plants can be exploited on their versatile uses as fragrances and antiseptics due to the perfume ingredient and antibacterial components existing in their essential oils.

OBJECTIVETo explore the risk factors of low back pain (LBP) among greenhouse vegetable planting farmers and estimate the level of the effects.

METHODSA self-made questionnaire based on the Dutch Musculoskeletal Questionnaire and the Nordic Questionnaire was conducted to 639 greenhouse vegetable planting farmers and then structural equation model was used to analyze the risk factors of LBP in SmartPLS software.

RESULTSThe coefficient of determination of the model was 0.827, and the structural coefficients of dynamic loads, static loads, force exertion, ergonomic environment and repetitive loads on LBP were 0.21, 0.43,0.27, 0.045 and 0.034 respectively, and the total effects of the above latent variables on LBP were 0.21, 0.43,0.27, 0.33 and 0.034 respectively.

CONCLUSIONThe main risk factors of LBP among greenhouse vegetable planting farmers were static loads, ergonomic environment, force exertion and dynamic loads.

Objective Analysis of clinical features and treatment of nasal type NK/T cell lymphoma, to improve the understanding of this special type of lymphoma.Method The clinical data of 34 patients with nasal type NK/T cell lymphoma confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed.Result In 31 cases, 26 cases were EB virus (EBV) infection positive, recent Treatment Effectiveness in the positive group was significantly lower than the negative group (38.46%vs. 87.50%;P<0.05) . Follow up showed until October 2015, 19 of 34 patients died. Among them, 17 cases died of disease relapse or progression, 2 cases died of other diseases. 15 patients survived (11 of them were disease-free) and the median overall survival time was 37 months. The 2 year overall survival was related to clinical stage, B symptoms, EBV infection (the P values were 0.017/0.001, 0.005, and 0.039 respectively).Conclusion EBV infection is associated with patient's treatment response in NK/T-Cell Lymphoma; and the prognosis is associated with clinical features such as clinical stage, B symptom, and EBV infection.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for improving the cognition of medical staff for adverse drug reactions(ADR). METHODS:A questionnaire survey was conducted on the spot among the physicians,nurses and pharmacists with different profes-sional titles in our hospital to investigate their cognition about ADR concept,their judgment for ADR and ADR reporting,and the results were analyzed by statistical methods. RESULTS:Totally 452 questionnaires were sent out,and 439 were effectively re-ceived,with effective rate of 97.12%. In terms of correct cognition rate about ADR basic concept and the main reasons,the sur-veyed pharmacists were higher than physicians and nurses,the senior professional titles of surveyed pharmacists were higher than the intermediate and junior,the pharmacists with senior professional titles were the highest and the junior were the lowest,the dif-ferences were statistically significant(P<0.05);in terms of the proportion of certain for ADR judgment,the surveyed nurses were lower than pharmacists and physicians,the surveyed physicians with senior and intermediate professional titles were higher the ju-nior,the surveyed nurses with intermediate titles were higher than the junior,the surveyed pharmacists with senior professional ti-tles were higher than the intermediate and the junior,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);in terms of cognition about ADR reporting,the surveyed pharmacists were the highest and the nurses were the lowest,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05),while in terms of the proportion of knowing ADR reporting timing limit,reporting procedures and depart-ments,the surveyed pharmacists and physicians with junior professional titles were lower than the senior and intermediate,the dif-ferences were statistically significant(P<0.05);in terms of reasons for missed ADR reporting,the proportion of consideration of the risk of causing medical disputes for doctors of the surveyed physicians was higher than pharmacists and nurses,while the sur-veyed nurses showed higher proportion for doing not understand reporting procedures,doing not reporting,thinking ADR reporting was dispensable and uncertain for ADR identification,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Medical staff with different professional titles and occupations have different cognition about ADR basic concept,judgment and re-porting,the pharmacist are relatively good,followed by the physician and nurse,especially the nurse,and the medical staff with junior professional titles are relatively poor. It is necessary to strengthen ADR education and training for them,play professional ad-vantages from the pharmacist and optimize ADR reporting procedures to improve the reporting rate and quality of ADR.

Objective: To detect methylation status of p16 CDKN2A exon 1 during experimental carcinogenesis in rats. Methods:Thirty male clean SD rats were fed with 0.02 g/L of 4-nitroquinoline-oxide (4NQO) in drinking water.13, 16 and 24 weeks after experiment the normal, moderate-severe dysplasia and invasive squamous cell carcinoma tissues were removed from their tongues respectively; then the methylation status of p16 CDKN2A exon 1 were detected by methylation-specific PCR(MSP). Results:A 123 bp-unmethylated product was amplified in all samples but the methylated product was not detected in any of the samples. Conclusion: The p16 CDKN2A exon 1 appeares to be unmethylated during carcinogenesis of tongue cancer in experimental rats.
