Objective To investigate dyslipidemia and the use of lipid-lowering drugs in patients with chronic kidney diseases(CKD)and analyze the related risk factors.Methods A total of 397 out-patients with CKD in our Renal Department from March 2006 to March 2007 were enrolled;258 healthy people with similar age and sex were taken as the control group.Lipid levels were compared between the two groups and related factors were analyzed.Results Among 397 CKD patients,there were 52.1% patients with high triglyceride(TG),41% with high total cholesterol(TC),18.8% with low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),47.6% with high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C).Compared with controls,rates of hypertriglyceridemia and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in CKD group were higher(P

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of the individualized intervention for the anxiety-depression after cardiovascular diseases. Methods80 inpatients with cardiovascular diseases were surveyed with Hospital Anxiety and Depressions Scale (HAD). The patients with anxiety-depression received individualized psychological intervention. Results14 of them suffered anxiety-depression. 13 cases recovered after the intervention. ConclusionThe individualized psychological intervention can improve anxiety-depression in the inpatients with cardiovascular diseases.

Objective To explore the correlation between plasma asymmetric dimethylarginin(ADMA) and essential hyper‐tention(EH) by comparing the difference of plasma asymmetric dimethylarginine levels between Kazak and Han patients with EH in Xinjiang .Methods 91 Kazak and 112 Han patients with EH were selected .81 Kazak and 110 Han healthy people were selected as healthy control groups .The plasma ADMA levels in EH groups and the control groups were measured by using the reverse phase‐high performance liquid chromatography (RP‐HPLC) .Meanwhile the liver function ,renal function ,blood lipids ,blood glucose and fructosamine were measured .Results Kazak and Han patients with EH had higher levels of plasma ADMA than the control groups (P<0 .01);there was a positive correlation between the plasma ADMA and blood pressure levels of EH patients in two na‐tionalities(r=0 .715 ,P<0 .01 for Kazak ;r=0 .645 ,P<0 .01 for Han) .Conclusion Both Kazak and Han patients with EH have higher levels of ADMA than the respective healthy control group in Xinjiang .The correlation between the plasma levels of ADMA and EH existed ,which indicate that ADMA might be involved in the occurrence and development of EH .

Objective　Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)i n 13 patients was analyzed. Methods　9 patients were performed C ABG with cardiopulmonary bypass, 4 patients undergone off-pump coronary artery bypass(OPCAB). Among the 4 patients, 3 undergone transmyocardial laser revascula rization concomitantly. 2 patients with single-vessel disease, 3 with double-v essel disease, 7 with triple-vessel disease and 1 with left main coronary arter y disease. The average bypass per patient was 2.3. Results　All patients survived, 11 patients were angina free, 2 were angina relief. C onclusion　CABG is a safe operation, OPCAB may reduce blood transfusion and complication, patients recover more quickly after OPCAB compared with those with CABG.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of N-acetylcysteine(NAC)on the concentration of ethanol in serum and the activities of alcohol dehydrogenase in liver and stomach tissue in alcoholic mice.METHODS:All mice were given p.o white spirit30min after p.o saline or5%NAC solution,and the durations from the disappear of righting reflex to recovery in mice were recorded and the number of dead mice in24hours were countered;With the same procedure for six days,the mice were killed by withdrawaling blood from orbit,and taken out the liver and stomach immediately,the concentrations of ethanol in serum and the activities of alcohol dehydrogenase in liver and stomach were measured by chromatometry and colorimetric method respectively.RESULTS:In drunk test,5%NAC solution significantly postponed the time from p.o white spirit to the disappear of righting reflex(P

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of MMP-7 in peripher- al blood and esophageal cancer.Methods By using Real time RT-PCR, blood samples from 82 cases with postoperative esophageal cancer were detected.Results 37.8 %(32/82)patients were positive for MMP-7 mRNA expression.MMP-7 mRNA positivity significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis,stage,and hematogeneous metastasis.Recurrent disease was found in 28 of 82 cases. Of 28 patients experiencing re- lapse,15 patients were serially follow-up in every three months.The number positive of MMP-7 mRNA be- fore detection by imaging,at the same time of detection by imaging,and after detection by imaging was 5 cas- es,8 cases and 2 cases respectively.Conclusion Examination of MMP-7 mRNA in peripheral blood during follow-up is useful for early detection of occult recurrence.

Two kinds of different functional groups modified RuBpy-doped silica fluorescent nanoprobes Probe A and B that conjugated with avidin were prepared for the recognition of liver cancer cells. Firstly RuBpy-doped silica nanoparticles were synthesized by reverse microemulsion and modified with different functional groups, then Probe A was prepared by the conjugation of avidin with carboxyl modified nanoparticles through covalent binding using 1-ethyl-3-( 3-dimethylamino propyl ) carbodiimide hydrochloride ( EDC )/sulfo-NHS, whereas Probe B was prepared by the conjugation of avidin with the polyethylene glycol ( PEG) linkers on the surface nanoparticles using cyanogen bromide method. Therefore, compared with Probe A, Probe B was obtained by coupling avidin to the nanoparticles through long-chain PEG molecules. The two probes were incubated with liver cancer cells respectively, and microscopic fluorescence imaging shows that Probe B which contained PEG molecules could be more effectively applied for the recognition of tumor marker carcinoembryonic antigen ( CEA) in liver cancer cells.
