When revising Advertisement Law ( AL) of People's Republic of China, a basic principal is the comprehensive banning of direct or indirect tobacco advertising and implementing the WHO Framework Conven-tion on Tobacco Control ( FCTC) . After comparing the AL Revised Draft ( ALRD) with the AL, the Interim Man-agement Regulation for Tobacco Advertisements ( IMRTA) , and FCTC article 13 and its implementation guide-line, we found that ALRD did not ban all kinds of the tobacco advertising in all public places by using different channels, couldn’t clearly define the covert and false advertisements on tobacco, so that the epidemic of tobacco advertising cannot be curbed in China. In addition, this ALRD still permits the tobacco advertising in some places, and this does not satisfy the FCTC requirement. Therefore, China cannot honor its commitments as a re-sponsible big country. According to above analysis, we proposed some suggestions on comprehensive banning all the direct and indirect tobacco advertisements.

Objective To evaluate the long term effect of comprehensive antihypertension treatment. Methods A cohort of 818 staff in an institute was enrolled. Regular health checkup, education and aggressively treatment and prevention of hypertension and its complications were administered and followed up for 6 years. Results In the past six years, the incidence rate of hypertension has been decreased year by year(from 23.7% to 19.0%). The rates of awareness(49.5% to 94.4%), treatment(37.1% to 83.7%), and achievement of target BP goal(19.6% to 82.4%) were increased. Cardiovascular risk factors as well as morbidity and mortality were decreased significantly(P

Background:Functional dyspepsia(FD)is a commonly seen functional disease which has great impact on patient’s quality of life and mental health,and has got more and more concern by clinicians. Aims:To explore the role of mast cells (MC)and plasma motilin( MTL)in the pathogenesis of FD. Methods:Sixty FD patients including 32 postprandial distress syndrome(PDS)and 28 epigastric pain syndrome(EPS)patients from September 2013 to January 2014 at the Affiliated Hospital of Putian University were enrolled,and 28 healthy volunteers were served as controls(HS group). The number of gastric mucosal MC,plasma MTL level(fasting and 30 minutes after drinking warm water)and gastric emptying time(T1 / 2 )were compared. Results:Compared with HS group,number of gastric mucosal MC was significantly increased (P < 0. 001),plasma MTL level before and after drinking warm water in FD group were significantly decreased( P <0. 001),T1 / 2 was significantly prolonged(P < 0. 001). No significant difference in number of MC was found between PDS subgroup and EPS subgroup(P = 0. 094). Plasma MTL level before and after drinking warm water in PDS subgroup were significantly lower than those in EPS subgroup( P < 0. 001),and T1 / 2 was significantly prolonged( P < 0. 001). Conclusions:Number of gastric mucosal MC is significantly increased in FD patients compared with HS group,suggesting MC may play a role in the pathogenesis of FD. Plasma MTL level is decreased in FD patients,which may be one of the factors involved in the pathogenesis and occurrence of corresponding symptoms of FD.

Objective To study the material basis of hot-natured herb Euodiae Fructus. Methods Euodiae Fructus extract was separated into the chloroform fraction, ethyl acetate fraction, n-butanol fraction and water fraction. With cold syndrome rat model by reserpine, the study confirmed that n-butanol fraction of Euodiae Fructus has influence on energy metabolism in rats. With the modified magnetic polymer microspheres, Euodiae Fructus n-butanol was divided into alkaloids, phenolic acid, fat soluble and water-soluble components, and the component of Euodiae Fructus influencing energy metabolism of model rats was further confirmed.Results The Euodiae Fructus extracts and alkaloids elevated rats temperature, reduced the Na+-K+-ATP activity, increased SDH activity, the content of ATP in liver tissue, the energy charge (EC) value and body heat production, and improve the level of energy metabolism.Conclusion The alkaloid is the material basis of hot-natured herb Euodiae Fructus.

Objective To study the CBCT image registration of PTV enlarging distance and IMRT planning(CT-1) for patients with lung cancer,and evaluate their characters.Methods Ten patients with lung cancer were included in the study.Two sets image,before and after radiotherapy,were acquired every week.Then delineated the targeted volume and made the planning (CT-2) according the enlarging distance data.To comparize the parameters of DVH for lung and spinal cord,volumes and dose of PTV and NTCP with CT-1 and CT-2.The difference of two plan was analyzed by covariance analysis or Wilcoxson's z-test.Results The max,min and mean dose of PTV,the lung V5,V10,V20,V30,V50 were similar in both plans (P =0.242-0.663).There was superiority in CT-2 of PTV and lung's mean dose(P =0.049,0,035).The NTCP had the decent tendency followed by the increasing of lung Vs,V10,V20(P =0.146,0.053,0.000).Conclusions CBCT based image registration can reduce PTV,the mean dose of lung,NTCP,and increase PTV dose.This provides a tool for exploring acurate radiotherapy strategies.

AIM: To investigate the therapeutic effect of chloride channel blocker tamoxifen on hypoxia pulmonary hypertension in rats.METHODS: Sixty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into therapeutic group(H/Q group),hypoxia group(H group),normal control group(C group).Mean pulmonary artery pressure(mPAP),the ratio of the weight of right ventricle to that of left ventricle plus septum[RV(LV+S)],and the ratio of the pulmonary arteriole wall area to that of vascular total area(WA/TA),were measured at 4,7,14,21 days.RESULTS:The mPAP began to increase from 7 days,and reached peak at 21 days in hypoxia group,however it is obviously lower in therapeutic group at same time.The ratio of RV(LV+S) began to increase from 14 days,and reached peak at 21 days in hypoxia group,however it is obviously lower in therapeutic group at same time.The ratio of WA/TA at 21 days in hypoxia group was significantly higher than therapeutic group,respectively(P

AIM:To explore the supportive and expansive effects of aorta-gonad-mesonephros(AGM) region derived stromal cells on hematopoietic stem cells(HSC) in vitro.METHODS:The murine stromal cells were separated and cultured from AGM region of a 11 day postcoitum(dpc) mouse embryo and 6 week mouse.After identification by Wright's staining and flow cytometry,the stromal cells were co-cultured with the embryonic stem cell(ESC)-derived,cytokine-induced HSCs,and the maintenance and expansion of HSCs were evaluated by detecting CD34+,CD34+Sca-1+cells with flow cytometry.Blast colony-forming cell(BL-CFC) and high proliferative potential colony-forming cells(HPP-CFC) were determined by semi-solid medium clonal culture.RESULTS:AGM-derived and bone marrow(BM)-derived stromal cells were similar in morphology and phenotype,and had common character of stromal cells.Supported by AGM stromal cells or by BM stromal cells,more primitive progenitor cells HPP-CFC were expanded,but BL-CFC expansion was only detected in AGM-derived stromal cells.In the supporting of BM stromal cells CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells were expanded 3-4 times,but no significant expansion in CD34+Sca-1+ cells was observed.While in the supporting of AGM stromal cells,both CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells and CD34+Sca-1+ cells were expanded significantly from 4 to 5 times,respectively(P

Objective To evaluate the effect of high-level spinal cord injury (SCI) on the myocardial energy metabolism in rats.Methods Sixty healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 250-300 g,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=30 each) using a random number table:sham operation (group S) and SCI group.SCI was induced in anesthetized rats by dropping a 10 g weight onto C7 spinal cord from 5 cm height falling freely inside a vertical hollow glass tube.At 6,12,24,48 and 72 h after SCI,6 rats in each group were chosen and arterial blood samples were taken for measurement of serum creatine kinase (CK) and creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB (CK-MB) activities.The rats were then sacrificed and myocardial specimens were obtained for examination of myocardial ultrastructure and for determination of ATP weight ratio,levels of Na+-K+-ATPase,Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase,non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) and lactic acid (LD),and expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) mRNA and protein (using fluorescent quantitative PCR and Western blot).Results Compared with group S,the serum CK and CK-MB activities were significantly increased,the ATP weight ratio,activities of Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase and levels of NEFA and LD were decreased,and the expression of PPAR-α mRNA and protein was down-regulated in SCI group.No pathological changes of myocardium were found in group S,and the pathological changes of myocardium were obvious in SCI group.Conclusion High-level SCI can lead to decrease in the myocardial energy metabolism in rats,and down-regulated expression of PPARα is involved in the mechanism.

Objective To assess the optical quality after implantation of the intraocular contact lens with and without a central hole for high myopia.Methods A total of 23 patients (41eyes),including 11 patients (21 eyes) implanted with V4 ICL (V4 ICL group) and 12 patients (20 eyes) with V4 c ICL implantation (V4 c ICL group) were enrolled in this research.Six months after operation,slit lamp microscope was used to check the anterior segment,and LogMAR chart was to test uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA).Moreover,automatic refractometer was to measure the spherical equivalent (SE) and astigmatic diopter before and after the operation.OQAS parameters included objective scattering index (OSI),modulation transfer function (MTF),Stryrby (SR),OQAS values (OV100％,OV20％,OV9％) at different contrast level were examined.Results In both groups,the parameters of UCVA (logMAR),BCVA (logMAR),SE and astigmatic diopter at 6 months after operation were significantly improved compared with before operation,with significant difference (all P ＜ 0.05).There was no siguificant difference in the UCVA,BCVA,SE and astigmatic diopter between the two groups before operation and 6 months after operation (all P ＞ 0.05).Moreover,the values of MTFcutoff,SR,and OQAS visual parameters (OV100％,OV20％ and OV9％) at 6 months after operation were significantly higher than those before operation between the two groups,and the difference was statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.05),while OSI was lower than preoperative data,but there was no significant difference in OSI between the two groups (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in OQAS visual quality parameters,including OSI,MTFcutoff,SR,and OV100％,OV20％ and OV9％,between the two groups (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion It is safe and effective of the two types of intraocular contact lens implantation for correction of high myopia,and V4 c ICL can achieve the similar visual quality to the traditional V4 ICL.
