Objective To evaluate the association between serum ferritin and the risk of cardiovascular disease among the Chinese population.Methods Based on the data from China Health and Nutrition Survey 2009, we used the Framingham risk score to calculate the 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease and analyzed the association between serum ferritin and the risk of cardiovascular disease in different gender by logistic regression analysis.Results Among 6 551 respondents, 3 035 (46.3%) were males and 3 516 ( 53.7%) were females whose mean age were ( 49.3 ±13.8 ) and ( 49.2 ±13.7 ) years, respectively.The median level of serum ferritin was 75.08 ( 36.71 -138.75 )μg/L.According to the 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease calculated by the Framingham risk score , the low risk group, middle risk group and high risk group were accounted for 79.5%( n=5 207 ) , 15.7% ( n=1 028 ) and 4.8%( n=316), respectively.The median of serum ferritin (121.61 vs.46.14, P<0.01) and the Framingham risk score (8.6 ±6.0 vs.7.3 ±1.6, P<0.01) of males were higher than those of females.The percentages of the middle risk group ( 30.6% vs.2.8%) and high risk group ( 9.8% vs.0.5%) of 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease in males were higher than those in females ( P <0.01 ).The 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease ≥10%increased with the increasing of serum ferritin in females ( trend P<0.01 ) but not in males.Conclusion Serum ferritin levels are positively correlated with the risk of cardiovascular disease in female Chinese.

Objective To investigate drug-resistance and the genotypes of extended-spectrum ? lactamases (ESBLs) producers in Beijing Tiantan Hospital and Beijing Chaoyang Hospital. Methods Standard agar dilution method, transconjugation test, isoelectric focusing, DNA sequencing were preformed in 52 clinical isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Results ESBLs producers were resistant to many antibiotics. DNA sequencing of amplicons of 52 strains revealed that ESBLs-encoded genes were CTX-M-14, 22,24 and SHV-2,12,respectively. Conclusions We should pay great attention to detect ESBLs producers and investigate their genotypes, so that we could prevent regional prevalence of ESBLs producers and utilize antibiotics reasonably.

Information of the acupuncture treatment ofdepression in 93 ancient books has been made statistics with computer Results showed that Heart Meridian, Pericardium Meridian, Bladder Meridian, Governor Vessel,Conception Vessel, Spleen Meridian and Stomach Meridian have been used frequently; as to areas, the medi al aspect of upper limbs, head and face, medial aspect of legs, upper back, chest and abdomen have been mostly selected; as to treatment methods, needling,moxibustion and blood-letting therapies have been utilized.

The data concerning the treatment of diarrhea by acupuncture in 62 ancient books are computerized and thus show that the ancient acupuncturists primarily used the acupoints of the conception vessel, stomach meridian, bladder meridian, and the foot yin meridians.As to the location, the acupoints on the abdomen, back,exterior side of leg and the hands and feet are used. The common techniques are moxibustion, hot compression,needling, blood letting, navel application and so on.

The information concerning dormant papule in 93 ancient medical books is statistically computerized and shows that there are totally 29 items of information and 25 acupoints (55 times in frequency) in connection with dormant papule. The commonly used acupoints are Quchi (LI 11), Jianyu (LI 15), Tianjing (TE 10), etc, which are around joints, on the upper body, on the lateral aspect or on the ends of the limbs. The commonly used meridians are Large Intestine Meridian, Pericardium Meridian,Triple Energizer Meridian, and Gallbladder Meridian. The commonly used parts are the lateral aspect of arm, the dorsum of hand, the external aspect of leg, the medial aspect of arm, and the palm.

Objective To investigate the distribution and chemical character of nestin immunoreactive cells in the human basal forebrain. Methods We explored systematically the distribution of nestin immunoreactive cells throughout the human basal forebrain by nestin 331B, 10C2, Rat401 antibody.Furthermore, we investigated the chemical identity of these nestin immunoreactive cells by using double\|labeling immunocytochemistry with NSE, ChAT, p75NGFR, GFAP antibody or using NADPH\|d histochemistry. Results The nestin immunoreactive cells were found in the septum, diagonal band of Broca, innominate substance,amygdala,basal nucleus of Meynert of adult human brain.These nestin immunoreactive cells haven big cell body,2\|3 processes.The nestin immunoreactive cells were labeled by NSE antibody.The large majority of those were single stained,and 28% were double labeled with ChAT positive neurons,15% with NGFR positive neurons,6% with NOS positive neurons.A few nestin immunoreactive cells shared similar morphology with that of astrocyte glia which existed in the spaces between the thin septa pellucida or the midline along the septum.It could not be labeled by GFAP antibody.Conclusion\ A new cluster of nestin immunoreactive neurons that were different from the ChAT,NGFR,NOS positive neurons existed in adult human basal forebrain.\;[

Objective To discuss the values of renal function indicators in predicting chronic kidney disease (CKD) .Methods According to eGFR ,212 cases of CKD patients were divided into three groups :group A (eGFR> 60 mL · min-1 · 1 .73 m -2 ) , group B (eGFR 30-60 mL · min-1 · 1 .73 m-2 ) ,and group C (eGFR<30 mL · min-1 · 1 .73 m-2 ) .175 cases of patients with the risk of CKD and 60 cases of healthy people were selected at the same time and brought into high‐risk group and normal control group ,respectively .The ratios of microalbumin and creatinine in urine (UmAlb/Cr) ,and the serum levels of Urea ,creatinine(Cr) , uric acid(UA) ,cystatin C(CysC) ,β2‐microglobulin(BMG) and homocysteine(Hcy) in all the groups were detected .Results There were differences in the levels of CysC and BMG among the three groups of CKD patients(P<0 .05) ,as well as between high‐risk group and normal control group ,with significant difference (P<0 .05) .Conclusion CysC and BMG can be used as effective indica‐tors of CKD prediction .

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of salvianolic acid B (SA-B) on portal hypertension induced by endothelin-1 in rats. METHODS: Twenty-eight Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: ET-1 group, ET-1+SA-B group, ET-1+ET(A)R blocker (BQ-123) group and ET-1+ET(B)R blocker (BQ-788) group. The rats of ET-1+SA-B group underwent intragastrical administration of salvianolic acid B for five days before ET-1 injection, while in three other groups' drinking water was given. In BQ-123 group or BQ-788 group, an intravenous injection of BQ-123 or BQ-788 via femoral vein was administered 30 minutes prior to ET-1 injection. Then changes of portal pressure, cervical artery pressure and heart rate were monitored continuously. RESULTS: After ET-1 injection, the portal pressure of all rats in the ET-1 group increased significantly, while slightly in groups that pretreated with SA-B, BQ-123 or BQ-788. CONCLUSION: SA-B can attenuate the elevated portal pressure induced by ET-1 with effect similar to ETR blocker.
