Objective To study the relationship between blood uric acid(BUA)level and oxidative stress in the elderly. Methods One hundred and eighteen healthy subjects who aged 60years and over were recruited.They were divided into 3 groups according to the serum uric acid level:(1)Control group:BUA 142-416 μmol/L;(2)Hyperuricemia group Ⅰ:BUA 417-470 μmol/L;(3)Hyperuricemia group Ⅱ:BUA>470 μmol/L.Serum xanthine oxidase(XO)activity,superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity,total antioxidation capacity(TAOC)and peroxide concentration were examined. Results (1)No significant differences in TAOC[control group:(8.40±2.09),Hyperuricemia group Ⅰ:(8.13±1.92)and Hyperuricemia group Ⅱ:(7.95±1.54)U/ml,all P>O.05)and in SOD activity[control group:(80.57±15.44),Hyperuricemia group Ⅰ:(81.37±11.92)and Hyperuricemia group Ⅱ:(87.45±11.38)U/ml,all P>0.05)among the 3 groups were found.The serum peroxide level and XO activity were significantly higher in hyperuricemia group Ⅰ and Ⅱ[XO activity:(9.17±1.68) vs.(9.32±1.87)U/ml,all P<0.05;serum peroxide:(149.5±25.7)vs.(150.7±23.1)μmol/L,all P<0.05]than in group control[XO activity:(7.81±1.84),serum peroxide:(122.5±33.8)].(2)Multifactorial regression analysis showed TAOC was related to age,triglyceride and uric acid(all P<0.05),XO activity was related to uric acid(P<0.05)and peroxide concentration was related to age and uric acid(all P<0.05). Conclusions This study supports the presence of the xanthine oxidase-related oxidative stress in the elderly with hyperuricemia.

Objective To investigate the expression of human papillomavirus (HPV) L1 protein in lesional tissue of condyloma acuminatum and its clinical significance.Methods Forty-three patients with condyloma acuminatum were included in this study,and received CO2 laser therapy.Tissue samples were resected from the lesions of these patients at their first visit before treatment.Immunohistochemistry was used to determine the expression of HPV L1 protein in these samples.Follow up was carried out once every 2 weeks for 3 months to assess the recurrence rate and frequency in these patients after treatment.Results HPV L1 protein was detected in 83.72% (36/43) of these tissue samples.The expression rate of HPV L1 protein decreased sequentially from patients infected with HPV 6/11,patients with both HPV 6/11 and 16/18,to those with HPV16/18 (x2 =17.90,P < 0.01).During the 12 weeks of follow up,the recurrence rate was 69.77% (30/43) with the average number of recurrence of 2.16.There was a sequential reduction in the recurrence rate and number from patients with strong expression of HPV L1 protein,to those with moderate expression,slight expression and negative expression (x2 =8.02,46.92,P < 0.05 and 0.01,respectively).The expression intensity of HPV L1 protein was negatively correlated with the recurrence rate and frequency (rs =-0.429,-0.696,respectively,both P < 0.01).Conclusion HPV L1 protein may serve as a helpful molecular biomarker for the prediction of prognosis and recurrence of condyloma acuminatum.

[Objective] To study the factors relative to the delayed diagnosis of spontaneous dual arteriovenous fistulas (DAVF) and its influence on the prognosis.[Methods] We included 102 continuous patients diagnosed DAVF in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University,and analyzed the correlative factors and impact on outcome of diagnostic delay.Outcome was whether symptoms were non-improvement,improvement or restoration at discharge.[Results] Median delay from onset to diagnosis was 3 months (interquartile range,1 to 6).Compared with patients diagnosed carlier(diagnose time≤3 months),patients diagnosed later (diagnose time > 3 months) had a lower frequency of headache (P =0.012),ptosis (P =0.035) and parenchymal lesions (P =0.001),a higher frequency of conjunctival congestion (P =0.004),tinnitus (P =0.021),visual dysfunction (P < 0.001),isolated visual dysfunction (P =0.007) and delayed imaging scan (P < 0.001),a higher frequency of endovascular treatment,and a lower frequency of improvement or restoration at discharge (P =0.033),in which patients with visual dysfunction had a lower frequency of improvement or restoration than those without visual dysfunction (P =0.023).Compared to those with visual dysfunction and other symptoms,patients with isolated visual dysfunction had a higher frequency of onset with paroxysmal blurring or blinding (P < 0.001),two eyes involved (P < 0.001) and more severe visual loss (P =0.057),a higher frequency of draining into transversesigmoid sinus (P < 0.001) instead of cavernous sinus (P < 0.001),and suffered intracranial hypertension all (median intracranial pressure,405 mmH2O;interquartile range,370 ~ 512 mmH2O).However,no statistically significant differences were found in the frequency of improvement or restoration at discharge between two groups (P =0.739).[Conclusion] Diagnostic delay was considerable in this cohort and was associated with outcome,especially in patients with visual dysfunction.

Objective To discuss the application effect of LVIS stent-assisted coil embolization in intracranial wide-neck small aneurysms.Methods The clinical data of 32 patients with intracranial wide-neck small aneurysms treated with stent-assisted coil embolization were analyzed retrospectively and evaluated.Results In 32 cases,the embolization grade was Raymond Ⅰ in 23 cases,Raymond grade Ⅱ in 7 cases,and Raymond Ⅲ in 2 cases.The successful embolization rate was 93.8%.No aneurysm was ruptured during embolization.One patient had thrombotic event in the surgery,but the occluded artery was recanalized after the treatment of immediate thrombolysis.Disorder of contralateral limb's activity and confusion were appeared in two patients after surgery.The symptoms improved by giving clopidogrel,aspirin and increasing the dosage of nimodipine.All the survival patients recovered well after 6 months of follow-up.No recurrence of aneurysm was confirmed by DSA and parent artery was patent.Conclusion Lvis stent is simple to be operated and has various models,suitable for most intracranial aneurysms,showing good performance.It suits embolization therapy in intracranial wide-neck small aneurysms,but the strong thrombosis should be valued.

Objective To optimize the HP-?-cyclodextrin(HP-?-CD)inclusion process condition for volatile oils from Anti-virus Oral Solution. Methods The process conditions were screened by determining the inclusion rate of volatile oils and the yield of inclusion compound,and by comparing the inclusion effect of supersonic method,saturated water solution method and grinding method.The optimum condition was investigated by the orthogonal test. The inclusion compound was identified by TLC,differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) and ultraviolet spectrophotometry (UV). Results The optimum preparation conditions for inclusion were established as follows: the proportion of volatile oils and HP-?-cyclodextrin was 1 ∶12,the inclusion temperature was at 45 ℃and the inclusion time was 3 hours .The inclusion rate of volatile oils was 66.71 %,and the yield of inclusion compound was 90.07 %. Conclusion The complex prepared under the optimized condition is stable and has a highest inclusion rate.

Epidemiological data,clinical observation and animal experiments have shown that cold wave is closely associated with the onset of stroke.When a population with stroke etiology or risk factors is under pre-stroke state,they will have stroke under the influence of various inducing factors.Cold wave is the external factor that causes the body to enter the pre-stroke state and there are many possible mechanisms.The drug intervention of stroke-prone hypertensive rats at 1 week before the cold wave can reduce the occurrence of stroke during cold wave,suggesting that it is of great significance to conduct preventive intervention to the pre-stroke population before the cold wave coming.
