Objective To study the clinical characteristics of abnormal lipid metabolism in different types of elderly people with hypertension.Methods The clinical data,collected from the elderly people who underwent annual physical examination,the characteristics of dyslipidemia and abnormal lipid metabolism in different types of elderly people with hypertension were analyzed retrospectively. Results The prevalence of dyslipidemia was 69. 63％, in which the prevalence of hypercholesteremia and hypertriglyceridemia was 23. 65％, and 26. 71％ respectively. The prevalence of hypercholesteremia accompanied hypertriglyceridemia( mixed group) was 19. 27％, and normal group was 30. 37％. Hypertriglyceridemia group was easier to be accompanied with hypertension than normal group and HTC group(P ＜0. 05). The hypertriglyceridemia had higher risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases than norral group and HTC group( P ＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusion The elderly people had high prevalence of dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome,and with high prevalence of hypertension, which led to higher risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The hypertriglyceridemia had more strong impact on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases than hypercholesteremia.

Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is a group of functional RNA molecules, which is more than 200 nu-cleotides in length, lacks ability of encoding protein and participates in all aspects of gene regulation. The current studies have indicated that some lncRNAs take part in regulating the process of breast cancer tumorigenesis and progression. This article reviewed the abnormal expression of lncRNA in breast cancer, its relationship to breast cancer growth, apoptosis, invasion and metastasis, and its function in early diagnosis, drug resistance and prognosis of breast cancer. This review was expected to offer an insight into a new target for the prediction, diagnosis and individual treatment of breast cancer.

Objective:To explore the effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 on renal expression of TGF-?1 and HGF in type 1 diabetic rats.Methods:30 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into 3 groups:normal control rats(group NC),diabetic rats(group DM ) and diabetic rats treated with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3(group DC).Kidney-to-body weight ratio(KW/BW),mean glomerular volume(MGV),fractional mesangial area(FMA),urinary albumin excretion rate(UAER)and serum creatinine(Scr)were measured after 12 weeks of treatment,while transforming growth factor-betal(TGF-?1) expression in kidney cortex were observed by immunohistochemistry.The expression levels of TGF-?1 mRNA and HGF mRNA were detected by reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) at the end of the experiment.Results:UAER,Scr,MGV,FMA and KW/BW ratio were significantly higher in the diabetic rats than those in the normal control rats(P

Objective Compared with surgical operation,to investigate the clinical efficacy and advantages of interventional treatment in blunt liver traum.Methods 32 patients from July 2010 to October 2012,who were diagnosed as blunt liver trauma,received super selective hepatic artery embolization in Chinese People's Liberation Army in 98th Hospital.Another 27 ones received operation at the same time in Peolies's Liberation Army 98th (AAST grade Ⅱ to Ⅳ).Retrospective analysis of related cases was presented.The results were analyzed by t test.Results All of 32 patients that received super selective hepatic artery embolization were stanched bleeding successfully.All patients were followed up for 3 to 18 months,the mean follow-up time was 10 months,with no severe complications occurred or no lost cases.Conclusions Compared with surgical operation,interventional treatment had advantage that included eliable hemostasis,less operation time,minimally invasive and less hospitalization time.Interventional treatment had good effects on blunt liver trauma which were AAST grade Ⅱ to Ⅲ.

AIM: To study the effect of herbal compound poria prescription (CPP) on proliferation and differentiation in primary rat preadipocytes, and to explore the mechanism of this process. METHODS: Primary cultured rat preadipocyte proliferation was determined by cell counting and MTT spectrophotometry. Cell differentiation was determined by Oil Red O staining, and the expression of PPAR? mRNA was determined by RT-PCR. RESULTS: CPP inhibited the proliferation and differentiation of primary rat preadipocytes in a dose-dependent manner, and it also inhibited the expression of PPAR? mRNA. CONCLUSION: CPP inhibits the proliferation of primary rat preadipocytes and inhibits the preadipocyte differentiation by suppressing the expression of PPAR? mRNA.

Cisplatin is a first-line anticancer drug widely used in clinic. However, its resistance reduces its efficacy. With a non-specific cell cycle, cisplatin's main targets are nucleophilic protein, DNA and RNA in cells. Among cisplatin's multi-factorial resistance mechanisms, abnormal expression of transport protein, intracellular detoxification enhancement, DNA repair capacity increase and apoptosis blocking are the main mechanisms. Because traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) have unique advantages in cancer treatment, their combination with cisplatin can improve the efficacy. In this paper, the authors summarized the advance in studies on cisplatin's resistance and the combination of TCMs and cisplatin in recent years.

Objective To understand the issues in the conversion of private medical institutions and explore the possible options.Methods Case study and in-depth interview were employed in 6 converted medical institutions.Results The reasons for conversion were diversified,and the process was not standardized.The attitudes towards how to deal with the net assets differed so much among the executives.The legislation and supervision by the government were still under-developed.Conclusion The process for the conversion should be standardized and the ownership of the net assets should be clearly defined.The legislation and supervision on private medical institutions should be enhanced.

Objective To explore the experience of surgical treatment for appendiceal carcinoid.MethodsThe clinical data of 12 appendiceal carcinoid cases received surgery were retrospectively studied.ResultsPreoperatively,all the 12 cases were considered as appendicitis.The definite diagnosis was verified by pathologic study postoperatively.Among the 12 cases, tumors less than 1 cm 9 cases, between 1 cm to 2cm 2cases, but without serosal involvment or lymph node metastasis(2 cases) recieved simple appendectomy.One case with a tumor larger than 2cm and serosal involvment underwent fight hemicolectomy.ConclusionOwing to its lack of specific symptoms,the diagnosis of appendiceal carcinoid was usually reached after operation.The choice of surgical procedures should based on the size and depth of invasion of the tumor and lymph node metastasis status.

In the face of conversions of private medical institutions in the United States,the federal and state governments of the United States have developed corresponding laws and policies to adapt to the situation.The paper made an analysis of the profile and causes of the changed business nature of such institutions,and an introduction to the laws on which such change took place,the roles and responsibilities of government departments,the assets disposal and tax exemption status as well as the pricing policies.

To evaluate the reforming effects of health service performance appraisal and distribution motivation system at our center,discuss some questions during the development and application of such an evaluation system and conduct comparative analysis of the policies and data before and after management pilot separation between revenue and expenditure.The performance evaluation system and distribution mechanism were established so as to boost the working efficiency of community health services and ensure their sustained and healthy developments.
