Objective:
To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of dyslipidemia among adult residents in Hefei City, so as to provide the evidence for formulating the dyslipidemia control strategy.
Methods:
A total of 10 812 permanent residents at ages of 18 years were randomly sampled from 5 counties (districts) in Hefei City using a multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method. Participants' demographic features, dietary behaviors and development of chronic diseases were collected using questionnaire surveys, and the height, body weight, waist circumference and blood lipids were measured. The prevalence of dyslipidemia was analyzed, and the factors affecting the development of dyslipidemia were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
Totally 10 812 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 92.02%. The participants had a male to female ratio of 0.85∶1, a mean age of (51.89±12.56) years. The prevalence of dyslipidemia was 25.20%, and hypertriglyceridemia and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were predominant types of dyslipidemia, with prevalence of 12.70% and 10.20%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that urban areas (OR=1.340, 95%CI: 1.219-1.474), age of 40 years and older (40 to 59 years, OR=1.181, 95%CI: 1.047-1.333; 60 to 88 years, OR=1.321, 95%CI: 1.154-1.513), alcohol consumption (OR=1.205, 95%CI: 1.093-1.329), insufficient physical activity (OR=1.217, 95%CI: 1.111-1.332), static behavior duration of 3 h/d and longer (OR=1.126, 95%CI: 1.027-1.234), overweight (OR=1.162, 95%CI: 1.045-1.291), obesity (OR=1.310, 95%CI: 1.097-1.564), central pre-obesity (OR=1.236, 95%CI: 1.102-1.387), central obesity (OR=1.414, 95%CI: 1.247-1.603), hypertension (OR=1.279, 95%CI: 1.107-1.477), diabetes (OR=2.192, 95%CI: 1.820-2.640), medical insurance (OR=0.594, 95%CI: 0.395-0.893) and self-rated “very good/good” oral health (OR=0.731, 95%CI: 0.576-0.927) were factors affecting the development of dyslipidemia.
Conclusion
The risk of dyslipidemia is high among adult residents living in urban areas, middle-aged and elderly residents, residents with alcohol consumption, insufficient physical activity, overweight, obesity, central pre-obesity, central obesity, hypertension and diabetes.

This study was aimed to explore the mechanism of Xin-Feng capsule (XFC) on pulmonary function of Sjogren's syndrome (SS) rat model based on the TGF-β1-ERK1 signal pathway. A total of 50 SD rats were ran-domly divided into the normal control (NC) group, model control (MC) group, hydroxychloroquine sulfate (HCQ) group, radix paeoniae alba (total glucosides of paeony capsules, TGP) group, and the XFC treatment group, with 10 rats in each group. Except the NC group, the complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) and the same rat sub-mandibular gland antigen induced method were applied to each rat after metatarsus injection on two feet and CFA after sufficient emulsification of 0.2 mL submandibular gland protein mixed antigen induced SS. The water drink-ing quantity, body weight change, pulmonary function, ERK1, TGF-β1 protein expression and serum cell factor (IL-17, IL-4) changes were detected in each group. The results showed that compared with the NC group, the body quality and serum IL-4 of MC rats were obviously decreased, and the water drinking quantity, submandibu-lar gland / lung index, submandibular gland pathological score, ERK1, TGF-β1 integral and IL-17 were increased (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05), and the pulmonary function parameter was decreased (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05). Compared with the MC group, the body quality, pulmonary function parameters FEF50 and MMF of the XFC group were in-creased, the IL-4 expression was increased, the water drinking quantity, submandibular gland / lung index, sub-mandibular gland pathological score, serum IL-17 expression, ERK1 and TGF-β1 integral were decreased (P <0.01 or P < 0.05). Compared with the HCQ group, the body quality and IL-17 were significantly decreased in the XFC group (P < 0.01), FEF25, FEF75 and MMF were increased (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05). Compared with the TGP group, the lung index and IL-17 were decreased in the XFC group (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05). It was conclud-ed that the lung function of SS rats was declined, which is closely related to the activation of TGF-β1-ERK1 sig-nal pathway. Traditional Chinese medicine of XFC is able to downregulate the TGF-β1 expression and to restrain epithelium-mesenchymal cell transformation, in order to inhibit ERK1 phosphorylation activation and proliferation, decrease immune inflammation, in order to improve SS and lung function.

Objective To investigate the value of three-dimension (3D) ultrasound in identification of benign or malignant gastric ulceration. Methods A total of 88 patients with gastric ulcer were collected in Tianjin Nankai Hospital from March 2014 to May 2015, including 36 malignant cases and 52 benign cases confirmed by pathological results. Results of 2D ultrasound, 3D ultrasound and gastroscope diagnosis were compared, and the diagnostic values of the three methods were evaluated by the gold standard of pathologic results. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted for the main measurement indicators (ulcer surface width, ulcer surface depth and thickness of stomach wall) of 3D ultrasound. The best cut-off value was determined. Results The positive rate of malignant gastric ulcer diagnosed by 3D ultrasound was significantly higher than that of 2D ultrasound (P=0.002), but there was no significant difference between 3D ultrasound and gastroscope detection (P=0.453). The diagnostic sensitivities of malignant gastric ulcer were 86.11%, 58.33%and 91.67%for 3D ultrasound, 2D ultrasound and gastroscope detection respectively. The diagnostic specificities were 100%, 100%and 96.15% respectively. The areas under the ROC curves measured by 3D ultrasound were 0.750, 0.940 and 0.977 for ulcer surface width, ulcer surface depth and thickness of stomach wall. And the best cut-off values of the three indicators were 16.55 mm, 8.05 mm and 9.90 mm. Conclusion The 3D ultrasound can show the form and structure of gastric ulcer more clearly and intuitively, which is valuable for the differential diagnosis of benign gastric ulcer and malignant gastric ulcer, and may be used for screening malignant gastric ulcer.
