Objective To learn healthy lifestyle and behavior literacy of residents living in Xicheng District of Beijing between 2008 and 2012 and to explore the influencing factors of healthy lifestyle and behavior literacy.Methods A total of 1 347 or 2 900 adults aged 18-60 years old were recurited from Xicheng District by using multistage stratified cluster sampling method in 2008 and 2012,respectively.Chisquare test and non-conditional logistic regression were used to analyze the effectiveness of 2-year intervention on healthy lifestyle and behavior literacy.Results The rate of healthy lifestyle and behavior literacy was 14.8％ vs.30.8％ in 2008 or 2012,respectively (x2=123.574,P＜0.05).For those with relatively lower education level (e.g.junior high school or below),the figure showed no statistically significant difference (x2=1.378,P＞0.05).In multivariate logistic regression analysis,female (odds ratio (OR)=1.350),education level (college/bachelor degree:OR=2.035,master degree or above:OR=2.554),monthly family income (＞5 000 RMB:OR=1.399) and investigation time (2012:OR=2.278) were influencing factors of healthy lifestyle and behavior literacy.Conclusion Remarkable improvement in healthy lifestyle and behavior literacy during 2012 as compared to 2008 could be attributed to the comprehensive interventions.In the future,those of low-literacy or low-income should be the mian target of modification of healthy lifestyle and behavior literacy.

Objective: To study the executive functions of the top soldiers with excellent military skills.Methods: One group of top soldiers with excellent military skills and one group of common soldiers were tested by the Stroop task,the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test(WCST),and the Trail Making Test.Results: The top soldiers get significantly fewer errors in Stroop task,and spent significantly less time in Trail Making-A,Trail Making-B,and showed significantly fewer perservative responses(PR),and lower percent of perservative errors(PE%) than the common soldiers.Conclusion: The top soldiers with excellent military skills had higher level of executive functions,such as inhibitory control,and mental flexibility.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the therapeutic effect of alar rotation flap for severe alar retraction.

METHODSPatients with severely retracted alar underwent ala reconstruction using alar rotation flaps and autogenous cartilage batten grafts. First, costal cartilage was used to reshape the nasal tip and nasal dorsum. Then cartilage patch was used to extend and thicken the retracted alar. Then the alar rotation flap was transferred to correct retracted alar.

RESULTSFourteen patients with severe alar retraction underwent alar reconstruction with alar rotation flap and alar batten grafts. The alar retraction was corrected in all cases, with improvements functionally and aesthetically. No recurrence of alar retraction was noted. The incision healed with acceptable cosmetic results, with obvious scar in only one patient (one side).

CONCLUSIONSThe alar rotation flap is an effective and reliable surgical option to correct severe alar retraction. Scar can be kept inconspicuous by precise placement of the incision within the junction of the ala and the nasal dorsum, following principles of the aesthetic nasal subunits.

Objective To comprehend the clinical characteristics and treatment of primary hepatic amyloidosis.Methods A total of 10 cases of primary hepatic amyloidosis included. 4 cases from Peking Union Medical College Hospital and 6 cases from other hospitals.reported in the literature in recent 20 years were reviewed,Results (1)The frequent clinical symptoms related to primary hepatic amyloidosis presented as hepatomegaly(90%),abdominal distension(80%),shifting dullness(60%),anorexia(50%),fatigue(40%),edema(40%),weight loss(40%) and abdominal pain(30%).(2)Laboratory tests revealed elevated serum alkaline phosphatase which was (558.3?517.2)U/L,and other liver function involvement were rare:six patients(85.7%)had either a serum or urine monoclonal protein.(3)Liver biopsy is golden standard.The amyloid deposition was mainly located at sinusoida(4 casese,57.1%),and only 2 cases was at vascular(28.6%).Complication of bleeding after liver biopsy was reported(1 case).(4)The classical therapy scheme was melphalan and prednisone,four cases died from liver function failure and infection.Conclusion The clues to the diagnosis of primary hepatic amyloidosis include elevated monoclonal protein,hepatomegaly and an unexplained elevated serum alkaline phosphatase level which is not parallel with other liver functions.Live biopsy is golden standard.The treatment scheme include melphalan and prednisone,but its prognosis is poor.

To study the influence of individualized medication guidance based on an Short Messaging Service( SMS) platform on the medication compliance in the patients with diabetes. Methods: Totally 100 cases of diabetic patients from the outpa-tient section were randomly divided into two groups using a number method with 50 ones in each, namely odd number was in the obser-vation group and even number was in the control group. The observation group was given pharmaceutical guidance based on the SMS technology platform by pharmacists, and the control group was given telephone follow-up once a week to understand the medical situa-tion. At the beginning of the study and after three-month treatment, the medication compliance in the two groups was evaluated, and the control situation of blood glucose was also compared. Results:There was no significant difference in the medication compliance be-tween the two groups at the beginning (P>0. 05). After the 3-month treatment, the blood glucose and medication compliance between the two group had statistical significance (P<0. 01). Conclusion:Based on a mobile phone short message technology platform, indi-vidualized clinical pharmaceutical guidance can significantly improve the medication compliance in diabetic patients.

Objective To investigate the level of soluble interleukin 7 receptor (sIL-7R) in serum of lupus nephritis(LN)patients and evaluate its clinical significance. Methods sIL-7R level in serum of LN patients and healthy controls were measured by ELISA , while total 24 hours urinary protein and complement C3 of LN patients were measured by BN ProSpec. The level of sIL-7R correlation with SLEDAI, total 24 hours urinary protein and complement C3 were analyzed respectively. Results The levelof sIL-7R was higher in serum of LN patients than healthy controls (P < 0.01). Moreover, its expression in serum was increased in LN patients in active stage than in LN patients in stable stage (P < 0.05). The level of sIL-7R was positively assosicated with SLEDAI, total 24 hours urinary protein(P < 0.01, P < 0.05) and negatively with complement C3 (P < 0.05). Conclusion The level of sIL-7R is upregulated in serum in LN patients and correlated with disease activity and progression, so it may be expected to become a potential marker of disease in prediction.

Objective To examine the single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP) of apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease1 (APE1) in primary small cell carcinoma of esophagus(PSEC) ,then investigate the relationship between these SNPs and the prognosis.Methods Sixty cases first-treated patients with PSEC were recruited, patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and healthy blood donors were recruited as positive and negative controls.APE1 (Asp148Glu) of the patients with PSEC and controls were genotyped by the TaqMan method.Every patient was treated with platinum-based chemotherapy(EP regimen for PSEC and TP regimen for ESCC)and radiotherapy(3D-CRT) ,then every case was followed-up for 2 years.The relationship between these SNPs and the follow-up outcome was analyzed.Results Compared with the ESCC group and control group, APE1 148 pure mutant(Glu/Glu) of PSEC group increased significantly(PSEC group was 40％ (12/30), ESCC group was 13.3％ (4/30) , control group was 10％ (2/20)), the difference was statistically significant (x2 =7.248,P =0.027).According to data of following-up, there was a significant increase in rate of progress (1year:40.0％ (12/30) vs 16.7％ (5/30), x2 =4.022, P =0.045;2 years: 86.7％ (26/30) vs 40.0％ (12/30) ,P =0.004) and a significant decrease in survival (33.3％ (10/30) vs 76.7％ (23/30)) of PSEC compared with ESCC.The SNPs of APE1 Asp148Glu was significantly correlated with frequency of progress, a significant increase was found in rate of progress of the patients with mutant type(Asp/Glu±Glu/Glu) compared with wild genotype(1 year: 50.0％(11/22) ,x2 =3.854,P=0.05;2 years: 81.8％ (19/22) ,x2 =10.519,P =0.001) ,the survival of the patients with mutant genotype was significantly lower than wild type (22.7％ (5/22) ,x2=10.77,P=0.001).Conclusion The most of polymorphisms of APE1(Asp148Glu) are mutation type in PSEC.Pure mutant genotype (APE1 148Glu/Glu) carry significant enhancement of progression.The polymorphisms of APE1 (Asp148Glu) maybe one of those molecular mechanisms of high frequency of progress and poor prognosis in PSEC.

Objective To understand the dynamic status of schistosomiasis epidemic situation and Oncomelania hupensis snail status before and after the schistosomiasis transmission interrupted in the mountainous areas of Yunnan Province. Methods The data of schistosomiasis epidemic situation and snail status were collected and analyzed statistically in Jianchuan County from 10 years before the schistosomiasis transmission interrupted to 2008. Results The schistosomiasis control began in Jianch-uan County from 1954. In 1976,the criteria of schistosomiasis endemic controlled were reached,and the infection rate of popu-lation was 0.65%and the infection rate of snails was 0.40%. In 1981,the criteria of schistosomiasis transmission controlled were reached,and the infection rate of population was 0.34%and the infection rate of snails was 1.41%. In 1993,the criteria of schis-tosomiasis transmission interrupted were reached,and the infection rate of population was 0 and the infection rate of snails was 0. There was a fluctuation in the schistosomiasis epidemic situation and snail status during the whole control duration ,but the trend was decreasing. Conclusion The time from schistosomiasis endemic controlled to transmission controlled is relatively short,but the time from transmission controlled to transmission interrupted is relatively long. In the original schistosomiasis en-demic areas,there might be some areas where there is no the disease bud there still are snails.
