Objective To understand the perception of health status in people with prehypertension. Methods Using the phenomenological method, 15 people with prehypertension were interviewed; the interview results were analyzed deeply. Results Five themes were extracted about health status:obscured perception about prehypertension and hypertension;absence of noticeable symptoms;necessity to change life-style, but lack of effective health self-management; many factors hindering effective health self-management; desire for professional help. Conclusions Perception of health status in people with prehypertension indicated deficiencies in health self-management. What they need were accessible professional support and intervention program that pay attention to people′s health belief and behavioral motivation.

Objective To investigate the expression of cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2)in breast cancers, and understand its clinical significance.Methods The immunohistochemistry was used to determine the ex- pression of COX-2 in the 40 tissues of breast cancer and 18 adjacent noncancerous mammary tissues.Results The positive expression of COX-2 was detected in 52.5% of breast cancer tissues and in 11.1% of adjacent noncancerous mammary tissues.There was a significant difference in the expression of COX-2 between breast cancer tissues and adjacent noncancerous mammary tissues(P0.05).Conclusion COX-2 was over expressed in breast cancer and correlated with metastatic lymph nodes and HER-2/neu.The expression of COX-2 may play an important role in carcinogen- esis,progression and prognosis of breast cancer.

OBJECTIVE To explore the NG rapid and accurate detection method,epidemiological characteristics and the control of nosocomical infection.METHODS From 1989 to 2008,46 898 patients were under taken the NG smear test,culture and NG immune latex test.RESULTS In the 46 898 cases,764 cases were found out G-diplococci both inside and outside cells or cell.The positive rate was 1.63%.In 764 positive samples,721 cases were not found out other bacteria(94.37%),NG positive smears had their own features.CONCLUSIONS When no bacteria growth and a large number of swollen neutrophils,particular attention should be paid.NG smears particularly for small media-size community and rural hospitals,without NG culture,PCR and NG antigen/antibody test can be choosed first.

Objective:To analyze the feature of anaphylactic shock induced by alprostadil injection. Methods: Totally 1624 pa-tients treated with alprostadil injection in our hospital from January to March 2014 were undergone adverse drug reaction monitoring. Six cases of anaphylactic shock induced by alprostadil injection were statistically analyzed. Results:6 cases of anaphylactic shock induced by alprostadil injection occurred in the department of intervention and most of thd reaction happened in arterial injection. Two lot num-ber of drugs were in high frequency. Patients showed a sharp fall in blood pressure, chest discomfor, palpitation, shortness of breath, paleness, sweating and other symptoms. After anti allergy, blood pressure, oxygen the rapy and other treatment measures vital signs gradully stabilized. Conclusion:Anaphylactic shock induced by alprostadil injection is in correlation with the administration mode of artery injection. The change of the patient' s condition and vital signs should be closely observed when we inject the patient with alpros-tadil injection. We must prevent the occurrence of serious adverse reactions.

Objective To observe the effects of JAZF1 (Juxtaposed with another zinc finger gene 1 ) overexpression on glucose and lipid metabolism in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Methods The tissue distribution of JAZF1 in healthy C57BL/6J mice was detected by real-time quantitative PCR( RT-QPCR). Expression vector for JAZF1 gene was constructed and transfected into 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The mRNA levels of JAZF1, GLUT1, GLUT4, FAS, ACC, SREBP1, ATGL, and HSL implicated in glucose and lipid metabolism were determined by RT-QPCR; JAZF1 protein level was measured by Western blot. Intracelluar lipid accumulation were measured by oil red O staining method. Results In JAZF1-transfected adipocytes, JAZF1 mRNA and protein levels were significantly higher than control cells after 48 h. The mRNA level of HSL was increased significantly (P<0. 05) in JAZF1 transfection group compared with negative control and empty vector group, and the expressions of FAS, ACC, SREBP1 mRNA were decreased significantly(all P<0.01). However, the mRNA levels of ATGL, GLUT1, GLUT4 were not changed. Intracelluar lipid accumulation was decreased significantly (P<0.05 ) by oil red O staining and colorimetric in JAZF1 -transfected cells compared with negative control and empty vector group. Conclusions There was an extensive expression of JAZF1 in various tissues of C57BL/6J mice,indicating that JAZF1 might play a role in maintaining normal physiological function. These results show that overexpression of JAZF1 in 3T3-L1 cells can reduce lipid synthesis, increase lipolysis, and improve lipid accumulation. JAZF1 might provide a new potential therapeutic target for obesity and diabetes.

The effects of tumor suppressor in lung cancer-1(TSLC1)upregulation on gene expressions involved in glucose and lipid metabolism in Hepa1-6 cells were investigated.The results showed that TSLC1 overexpression decreased fatty acid synthase and acetyl CoA carboxylase expressions(P<0.05 or P<0.01),increased adipose triglyceride lipase expression(P<0.05),and did not change hormone-sensitive lipase,glucose transporter (GLUT)1,and GLUT4 expressions.These results suggest that TSLC1 overexpression may promote lipolysis and inhibit adipogenesis in liver cells.

Objective To investigate the effects of high-fat diet induced insulin resistance on fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF-21) and its receptors expression in ApoE~(-/-) mice. Method Male ApoE~(-/-) mice were randomly divided into normal-chow group(NF,n=20)and high-fat fed group(HF,n=20) and fed for 16 weeks. The insulin sensitivity and glucose-lipid metabolism in awake mice were evaluated by hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp technique combined with 3-[~3H]-glucose as a tracer. The Mrna expressions of FGF-21,β-klotho, and FGFR1-4 were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. FGF-21 protein levels were determined by Western blot. Results Fasting blood glucose, plasma insulin and free fatty acids, triglycerides, free fatty acids, and cholesterols were significantly elevated in HF group compared with NF group(all P<0.01). During the steady-state of clamp, plasma insulin was significantly higher in HF group than that in NF group(P<0.01), and glucose infusion rate was also significantly decreased(P<0.01). At the end of insulin clamp, glucose disappearance rate was significantly lower in HF group than that in NF groups(P<0.01). Hepatic glucose production in NF group was suppressed by 70% ,while in HF group it was suppressed by 51%. The FGF-21 Mrna expressions of hepatic and adipose tissues in HF group were significantly increased compared with NF group(both P<0.01), and β-klotho Mrna expressions increased(P<0. 05). In hepatic and adipose tissues, FGFRI, Mrna expressions were higher in HF group than those in NF group(both P<0.01) ,and FGFR3 Mrna increased(P<0.01 and P<0.05, respectively). In hepatic tissue,FGFR4 Mrna levels were significantly up-regulated in HF group(P<0. 05). Plasma FGF-21 levels were elevated in HF group compared with NF group(P<0.01) ,and FGF-21 protein expressions of hepatic and adipose tissues were also increased(both P<0.05). Conclusion FGF-21, β-klotho, FGFR1, and FGFR3 were significantly up-regulated in ApoE~(-/-) mice fed by high-fat diet, and they might be the targets in regulating glucose-lipid metabolism by FGF-21.

Objective To investigate the role of methylation of genomic DNA and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) gene promoter in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Methods According to the WHO 1999 guideline for diabetes mellitus diagnosis and classification standard,90 patients diagnosed as diabetes mellitus and 30 healthy volunteers were enrolled in this study.All the participants were divided into diabetes mellitus without DN (DM) group (n=48),DN group (n=42) and healthy control group (n=30) accordingly.DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood and high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to measure the overall methylation level of genomic DNA.The methylation status of CTGF gene promoter was determined by PCR and sequencing analysis.Serum CTGF protein level was measured by ELISA.Results The overall methylation level of genomic DNA was 5.23％±0.09％ for DN group,4.71％ ±0.03％ for DM group,and 4.37％±0.01％ for healthy control group,with no significant differences among three groups (all P＞0.05).The CTGF promoter methylation level in DN group (22.02％± 12.90％) was significantly decreased,compared to DM group (49.18％±8.01％,P=0.019) or healthy control group (72.18％±19.30％,P=0.000).Moreover,the serum CTGF protein level in DN group [(193.44±11.90) mg/L] was significantly increased,compared to DM group [(127.65±10.30) mg/L,P=0.031] and healthy control group [(95.84±5.10) mg/L,P=0.001]. Conclusion In DN patients,CTGF gene promoter methylation level is significantly decreased,but CTGF protein level is higher as compared to non-DN patients,which indicates that CTGF gene promoter demethylation may be involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy.
