Objective To investigate the hazard of hypertension at initial diagnosis ages.Methods Using stratified cluster sampling,6 091 adults aged more than 18 years with/without hypertension were interviewed;meanwhile their blood pressures were measured.The hazard of hypertension at initial diagnosed age was analyzed with survival analysis.Results The prevalent rate of hypertension was 19.9%and the average initial diagnosed age of hypertension was 52.0?13.12)yrs.The hazard persistently increased with the age after 35 years old for male,and reached its peak of prevalent rate(26%)at the age of 75 years for female.Not significant difference of hazard existed between male and female.Conclusion Our data indicated that there is a close relationship between the risk of hypertension onset and the age,the hazard increasing with ages,especially for the population aged over 35 years old.Therefore,an early prevention of hypertension should be taken from adolescent period.

Objective To analysis the effect of high dose metformin on serum HE4, LPA and regulatory T cells in patients with ovarian cancer.Methods 80 cases of unilateral ovarian cancer patients were given surgery and conventional chemotherapy ,were divided into four groups according to single metformin dose: (group A:0.25g each time, B group:0.25g each time, group C:0.25g each time; group D: conventional treatment only) and three times a day oral administration of metformin and two weeks in a row , before and after the treatment of detection each serum HE4, LPA, transformation growth factor beta 1 (TGF -beta 1), interleukin -10 (IL-10) content, and CD4 +CD25 +CD127 regulating T cell percentage.ResuIts Compared with B, C, and D group, the efficacy of patients in group A was better, as follows: Serum HE4 content decreased significantly ( P<0.05 ); serum LPA content decreased significantly ( P<0.05 ); blood CD4 +CD25 +CD127 regulatory T cell percentage decreased significantly ( P<0.05 ); serum TGF beta 1, IL-10 content decreased significantly ( P<0.05 ) .The results were statistically significant .ConcIusion High dose of metformin can reduce serum HE4 , LPA content, reduce the adjusting the percentage of T cells and related cytokines in patients with ovarian cancer , and play a positive role in inhibit cancer cell proliferation and invasion .

Objective To evaluate the curative effect of chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy for limited-stage small cell lung cancer(LD-SCLC).Methods 34 cases of patients with LD-SCLC were rand- mized into interdigitating chemoradiotherapy group and sequential chemoradiotherapy group.All patients re- ceived four to six cycles of alternating CE(C:carboplatin 300 mg/m~2 d_1;E:etoposide100 mg d_(1～5)and CAP(C: cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m~2 d_(1,8);A:adriamycin 40 mg/m~2 d_1;P:cisplatin 50 mg d_(3～5)chemotherapy,three weeks for a cycle.All patients also received thoracic radiotherapy with conventional fraction,2.0 Gy per frac- tion,five fractions per week.The total dose was 60 Gy.Results In interdigitating chemoradiotherapy group, CR was 64.7%,PR was 29.4%,NR was 5.9% and PD was 0 after chemo-radiation therapy.In sequential chemoradiotherapy group,CR was 23.5%,PR was 52.9%,NR was 23.5% and PD was 0 after chemothera- py,and CR was 58.8%,PR was 35.3%,NR was 5.9% and PD was 0 after radiotherapy.Conclusion The therapeutic effect of chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy for LD-SCLC was satisying.There was no sig- nificant difference in the effect between the two groups.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of the combination interventional oviduct recanalization with traditional chinese medicine for infertile women with oviduct obstruction.Methods 38 cases with 76 oviduct obstruction were treated with FTC-900 oviduct recanalization apparatus guided with DSA,the apparatus was supplied by COOK company,before recanalization,assisted with side fornix vaginae and enema with traditional chinese medicine.Results Of 76 obstructive oviduct,71 oviduct were recanalization,the successful rates of recanalization were 93.4%;Of 38 infertile women ,25 cases become pregnant,the pregnant rates were 67.3%;Of 13 unsuccessful cases,8 cases turn out re-obstructived.Conclusion Combination interventional oviduct recanalization with traditional chinese medicine for infertile women with oviduct is a simple,safe,and more effective method,it has a high successful rates than either method solely,should be spreaded.

The current difference between male and female rabbit ventricular myocytes was investigated for elucidating the mechanism of longer QT interval and higher incidence of drug-associated torsade de pointes in female rabbits than in male rabbits. Whole cell patch clamp technique was used to record APD, Ito, IK,tail, IK1 and ICa,L of myocytes from left ventricular apex. There was no difference in the membrane capacitance between male and female rabbit myocytes. APD90 was longer in female rabbits (560.4+/-26.5 ms, n=15) than in male ones (489.0+/-20.7 ms, n = 14), P<0. 05. In female rabbit myocytes, IKtail, Ito, IK1 and ICa,L were 0.71+/-0.05 pA/pF (n=17), 8.28+/-1.03 pA/pF (n=18), 24.5+/-3.6 pA/pF (n=12) and 9.0+/-2.3 pA/pF (n=15) respectively. In male rabbit myocytes, they were 0.84+/-0.07 pA/pF (n=18), 8.60+/-1.20 pA/pF (n=18), 25.9+/-4.5 pA/pF (n=14) and 9.3+2.6 pA/pF (n=16) respectively. IK,tail in female rabbits was significantly lower than that of male rabbits (P<0.05), but there was no difference in Ito,IK1 and ICa.L between male rabbits and female rabbits (P>0.05). The lower IK.tail of female rabbit myocytes may contribute to the longer repolarization and the higher incidence of drug-associated torsade de pointes.

Objective To investigate precipitants of epileptic seizure, and to explore the correlation between various precipitants and relationship between precipitants and clinical features of epilepsy.Methods Data were collected from 154 patients attending a tertiary-care epilepsy clinic of Nanjing Brain Hospital between April 2015 and April 2016.The patients with epilepsy were older than 16 years, had a clinical history of one year or more, and one seizure at least a year and one seizure at least in the latest three months.An enclosed questionnaire was combined with open interview to identify and characterize seizure precipitants and clinical characteristics of patients.Patients were asked respectively whether there were some precipitants three months before and during last three months.Correlation between seizure precipitants and relationship between precipitants and clinical characteristics, such as age, gender, course, seizure frequency and so on, were calculated.Results A total of 125 (81.2%) participants reported at least one precipitant.Common precipitants (in descending order) were as follows: emotional stress (56.0%), sleep disorder (38.4%), fatigue (27.2%), missed medication (20.0%).There were one to six different precipitants for one patient, and 60.8% of patients had two or more precipitants.There was a correlation between emotional stress and sleep disorders as well as fatigue (χ2=4.665, 8.668;P<0.05).Patients with idiopathic epilepsy were more sensitive to sleep disorders.There was no relationship between total precipitants and clinical features such as age, gender, age of onset, duration, type of seizure, seizure frequency, number of drug taking and so on.Conclusions Seizure precipitants were found widespread.The most common precipitants were found to be emotional stress, sleep disorders, fatigue and missed medication.There existed a correlation between emotional stress and sleep disorders as well as fatigue.There was no connection between total precipitants and patient′s demographic characteristics as well as clinical features.However, the type of seizure precipitants was different in patients with different demographic and clinical characteristics.

Objective To discuss the perioperative nursing care for patients with hepatic cancer located near the central bile duct, who receive microwave ablation treatment by using bile duct cooling protection technique. Methods A total of 21 patients with hepatic cancer located near the central bile duct received percutaneous microwave ablation treatment (PMWA) using bile duct cooling protection technique. Preoperative routine nursing and psychological nursing, close cooperation, close postoperative observation and prompt nursing measures were strictly carried out. Results PMWA was successfully accomplished in all the 21 patients, and no biliary complications occurred. All 21 patients were cured at the time of discharge, no nursing-related complications or death occurred. Conclusion In treating hepatic cancer located near the central bile duct, bile duct cooling protection technique is a new treatment technology. Effective perioperative nursing care can improve the operative success rate and reduce the incidence of complications.
