And the post-treatment levels of the two markers were lower in experiment group than those in control group (t=2.016-2.158, P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION: Brain protein hydrolysate injection can significantly decrease the plasma levels of GMP-140 and TNF-α in patients with acute stroke, and it is capable of increasing the ESS scores and improving the impaired neural functions greatly.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the incidence of chromosome 11 abnormality in acute myeloid leukemia and its relationship with the clinical aspects and prognosis.

METHODSConventional cytogenetic analysis of R-band was used to detect the abnormalities of chromosome 11 in 356 acute myeloid leukemia patients.

RESULTSThirty-four out of 356 patients (9.55%) had abnormalities of chromosome 11, of which 20 (58.8%) involved in 11q23, 7 (19.9%) had translocations involving 11p15, 5 (14.7%) had-11, and the rest had other abnormalities such as +11, and t(11;14). The incidence of 11q23 involvement in M4 and M5 was higher than other subtypes of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Ten cases with 11q23 abnormality had additional cytogenetic aberrations. In 30 cases treated with chemotherapy, 13 cases acquired complete remission (CR). The CR rate was lower than that of whole cases of acute myeloid leukemia(34.3% versus 64.0%). The CR rate of AML with 11q23 abnormality was lower than that of AML with normal karyotype (25% versus 55.6%). In other 10 patients with additional chromosome aberrations, the CR rate was lower than that of AML with 11q23 alone. In 7 patients with translocations at 11p15, only 3 patients acquired CR, and 2 patients relapsed early. Only 2 patients acquired CR in 5 patients with-11.

CONCLUSION11q23 was a frequent aberration in chromosome 11 anomaly, which was often detected in M4 and M5. It might be associated with the pathogenesis of acute monolytic leukemia. The patients with chromosome 11 anomaly had poorer prognosis.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the prevalence and distribution characteristics of dyslipidemia among Shandong residents aged 18-69 years.

METHODSThe levels of triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), and total cholesterol (TC) were determined in fasting serum of 5 ml venous blood for subjects aged 18-69 years who were selected by multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling from 20 counties in July, 2011 in 140 counties of Shandong province. The prevalence of dyslipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, high blood LDL-C, low blood HDL-C and hypertriglyceridemia were analyzed by the complex weighting. The prevalence of dyslipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, high blood LDL-C, low blood HDL-C and hypertriglyceridemia were compared for different characteristics by Rao-Scott χ(2).

RESULTSThe prevalence of dyslipidemia among 15 350 subjects was 22.70% (3 572), with higher in males (26.91% (2 110/7 683)) than in females (18.41% (1 462/7 667)). The prevalence of hypercholesterolemia was 3.39% (n=582), with higher in Eastern Shandong (4.59% (185/3 704)). The prevalence of high blood LDL-C was 0.56% (n=94), with higher in Eastern Shandong (0.79% (32/3 074)). The prevalence of low blood HDL-C was 11.41% (n=1 789). The prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia was 13.02% (n=2 059), higher in urban residents (16.54% (814/4 804)) than in rural (11.52% (1 245/10 546)) (χ(2)=71.54, P<0.001). The difference between the prevalence of low blood HDL-C and hypertriglyceridemia was not significant among Eastern Shandong, Central-South and Northwest.

CONCLUSIONDyslipidemia rate was higher among adult residents in Shandong province. The rate was higher for men than for women. The prevalence of hypercholesterolemia and high blood LDL-C were higher in Eastern Shandong than the other areas. The hypertriglyceridemia and low blood HDL-C were two major types of dyslipidemia.
