Objective To study the effects of salt and cooking oil intervention among hypertensive patients on knowledge-attitude-practice. Method Three thousand hypertensive patients from 20 community health service centers in Shenzhen were chosen by multi-stage cluster random sampling method. Salt measuring spoons and scaled oil pots were provided during six-month health intervention. Before and after the six-months health intervention, 2 976 and 2 864 valid questionnaires were collected respectively. After intervention, 40 families were randomly selected to perform an investigation of cooking oil and salt weighing during 3 d 24 h. Result Before the intervention, the rates of awareness on the intake of salt and cooking oil were 29.94% and 16.23% respectively. After intervention, the rates increased to 88.58% (P<0.000 1) and 84.29%(P<0.000 1) respectively. The rates of restriction on the intake of salt and cooking oil were 62.97% and 59.07%, respectively, after the intervention, the rates were 97.14% and 96.79% (P<0.000 1), respectively. By using the salt measuring spoons and scaled oil pots, the intake of cooking oil and salt reached the recommended amount in Chinese dietary guideline. Conclusion The implementation of health education combined with appropriate tools could promote the knowledge and behavior of the salt and cooking oil consumption.

Objective To discuss the surgical management of von Hippel Lindau(VHL) syn drome.Methods The clinical data of four VHL patients who were clinically diagnosed from March1999 to October 2006 were reviewed.The first patient was a 56 year old man with the chief complaintof hypodynamia and low serum glucose as 2.37 mmol/L.CT scan showed three masses in the the leftkidney.He had a history of cerebral haemangioblastoma ten years before.The second case was a 57 year old woman with the chief complaint of lumbago in the left side.CT scan showed masses in theleft kidney,adrenal gland and panerease.The third case was a 39 year old woman with the chief com plaint of an accident mass in the left adrenal gland.She had the history of cerebellar hemangioblastoma9 years before,spinal hemangioblastoma resection 7 years before.The fourth case was a 41-year oldwoman,she was found brain tumors and cured by gamma radiation abalation.Bilateral renal masseswere found by B ultrasound one month later,CT scan showed four masses in the both kidneys,leftadrenal gland and pancreas.Results All 4 cases underwent surgical approach.The first case under went radical nephrectomy which pathological report was PEComa of kidney.The blood glucose wasnormal one week later.The second case underwent resection of the left adrenal gland,kidney,pancre atic body and tail and spleen.Pathological report was clear cell carcinoma,islet cell tumor and adrenal cyst.Three months later she was found spinal hemangioblastoma and refused treatment.The thirdcase underwent adrenalectomy in the left side and pathologieal report was adrenal pheoehromocytoma.There was not tumor reeurrenee during 2 years' follow up.The nephrectomy and adrenalectomy wasperformed for the last ease whose pathological report was clear celt carcinoma and pheochromoeytoma.Three weeks later,tumor enueleating of the right kidney was undertaken; the result was clear cellcancer.During the follow up for one year there was no relapse of tumor.Conclusions For VHL ac companied with multiple organ tumors,surgery resection is the proper approaeh when tumors of centralnervous system is large.Different approaches could be taken to deal with multiple tumors of VHL such aswatchful waiting,nephron sparing surgery.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathologic features of epithelioid angiomyolipoma of renal(REAML). Methods Six cases of REAML were analyzed by histopathological and clinical characteristics.Of the 6 cases,4 cases were solitary tumors and 2 cases were multiple lesions.The diameter of tumors was about 9 cm in average.One case had a family history of nodular sclerosis.Three cases were found adipose tissue in CT scan and diagnosed for RAML,the other 3 cases were diagnosed for renal cancer.All cases were undergone surgical approach,3 cases were undergone resection of tumors only and the other 3 were performed nephrectomy. Results Pathological characters:tumor was mainly composed of epithelioid cells presented with invasive hyperplasia of atypical pleomorphism,hyperchromatic nuclei with frequent mitotic figures,giant neoplasic cells and extensive hemorrhagic necrosis immunohistochemcial staining showing a positive HMB45 and negative of EMA,CK in most neoplasic cells.All cases were followed up for 10 to 44 months,5 cases did not recurrence and metastases;the other had lung metastasis after operation 18 months later,without any treatment the patient died 10 months later. Conclusions Most of REAMLs are benign and often misdiagnosed for renal cancer by CT scan.HMB45 is positive in immunohistochemcial staining available for diagnose.The minority of REMAL is malignant potentially and should be followed up closely.Operation is major method.

Objective To detect the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the upstream promoter region of chemokine like factor (CKLF) gene and analyze their possible associations with asthma and asthma-related phenotypes.Methods Direct Sequence of the 1553bp upstream promoter region of CKLF gene was performed in 245 Chinese Han human genomic DNAs (119 asthmatics and 126 controls).The frequencies of alleles, genotypes, and haplotypes were determined and the association of these SNPs with asthmawere further analyzed.Results Fournovel SNPs,SNP88 (T>C),SNPI96 (T>C),SNP568 (C> G) ,and SNP1047 (C > G) were found in the promoter region of CKLF.The frequency of rare allele was 0.168 (SNP88C), 0.168 (SNP196C), 0.352 (SNP568G) and 0.167 (SNP1047G), respectively.Haplotypes,their frequencies and the linkage disequilibrium coefficients between SNPs were constructed.Complete linkage disequilibrium (LDs) were observed between SNP88 and SNP196,SNP88 and SNP1047, as well as SNPI96 and SNP1047 ,respectively (D1 = 1.000,r2 = 1.000).SNP568 was in partial LD with the other three SNPs (r2 = 0.366).No association between asthma and the SNPs was observed.Conclusions Four SNPs in the regulatory region of CKLF in Chinese Han population were firstly identified.Although no significant correlation with asthma was revealed, the SNP and haplotype information is useful for other disease association studies in the future.

Objective: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of intervention and management of the patients with dyslipidemia in some districts in Shenzhen and provide health economic basis for prevention and control of dyslipidemia. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive community intervention among patients for dyslipidemia management, enrolling 204 cases of dyslipidemia in the intervention group and 200 cases in the control group through multi-stage cluster random sampling. We collected baseline and intervention data, such as the cost of institutional intervention (labor costs, office expenses, material expenses, loss of low-value consumables, service costs, and depreciation of fixed assets), patient costs (direct and indirect medical costs), effect indicators (lipid control rate, lipid improvement rate, and lipid exacerbation rate) to analyze cost-effectiveness. Results: After 12 months of the comprehensive community intervention, the total cost for the intervention group was 1 321.62 yuan per capita; the cost per patient was 973.33 yuan; and per capita institutional cost was 348.29 yuan. Total cholesterol, triglyceide, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol of intervention group decreased by 0.43 mmol/L, 0.16 mmol/L, and 0.42 mmol/L, respectively, after the intervention, and there was a significant difference before and after the intervention (P<0.05). After intervention, the intervention group lipid control rate was 17.6%, the lipid improvement rate was 48.0%, and the lipid exacerbation rate was 7.4%, whereas those of the control group were 10.5%, 22.5%, and 16.0%, respectively. The lipid control rate and improvement rate in the intervention group were higher than those in the control group, and the lipid exacerbation rate was lower than that of the control group. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ²=43.774, P<0.001). Patients in the control group had a unit cost of 81.17 yuan for 1% of blood lipid control rate and 37.88 yuan for one unit of blood lipid improvement rate. The corresponding per capita cost of the intervention group was 74.87 yuan and 27.51 yuan, respectively. The intervention group's cost-effect ratio was lower than that of the control group and had good cost-effectiveness. Conclusions The comprehensive community intervention and management of patients with dyslipidemia was effective in terms of health economics and it is worth the long-term implementation and promotion in the community health service center.
