Objective To explore the relationship between the body mass index and health-related quality of life(HRQoL) of young students aged 18～25 years old. Methods 4696 students aged 18～25 years old from nine provinces and municipalities (Jiangsu, Anhui, Gansu, Qinghai, Fujian, Boijing, Jilin, Jiangxi and He'nan) were investigated. The HRQoL of students with different body mass index were compared with rank sum test and lo-gistic regression analysis. Results Obesity and underweight students scored lower in both physical component and mental component scores of SF-36. Compared to students with normal weight, odds ratios (ORs) of impaired HRQoL among obesity students significantly increased in both physical domain (OR=1.86) and mental domain (OR=1.90), while OR of impaired HRQoL among underweight students significantly increased only in physical domain(OR=1.21). Analysis for boys and girls scparately,OR of impaired HRQoL increased in physical domain among underweight boys(OR=1.37), and increased in mental domain among overweight girls(OR=3.85). Con-clnsion Different body mass index have different impact on young students' HRQoL. Both obesity and trader-weight could reduce HRQoL. But obesity have more impact on girls' mental domain than boys, and underweight have more impact on boys' physical domain than girls.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of laparuseopic and open D_2 radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Methods From January 2008 to February 2009, 64 gastric cancer patients received laparoscopic radical gastrectomy (LAP group) and 60 gastric cancer patients received open gastrectomy (open group) at Changzhou No. 2 People's Hospital. Clinical parameters including operation time, blood loss, resection margin of gastric cancer, number of lymph nodes dissected, time for passage of flatus, time for out-of-bed activity, hospital stay and postoperative complications in the 2 groups were analyzed via t test and chi-square test. Results Gastrectomy was successfully performed on all patients. Mean operation time in LAP group was significantly longer than open group (t=5.56, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the length of resection margin and number of lymph nodes dissected between the 2 groups (t=0.67, 0.86, 1.09, P>0.05). The mean blood loss, time for passage of flatus, time for out-of-bed activity and hospital stay in LAP group were significantly lesser than in open group (t=4.59, 5.56, 16.39, 4.79, P<0.05). Six patients in LAP group and 5 patients in open group had compli-cations postoperatively. All patients were followed up for 1-13 months, and no recurrence or death occurred. Conclusion Laparoscopic D_2 radical gastrectomy is safe and effective for gastric cancer.

Objective To investigate the health-related quality of life (HRQOL), demographic characteristics, and health behaviors of the Chinese elderly to find out high-risk population and behaviors. Methods Data was collected from a cross-sectional survey performed in Jiangsu, Anhui, Gansu,Qinghai, Fujian, Beijing, Jilin, Jiangxi, and Henan province. MOS SF-36 was used for HRQOL assessment, t test was used for HRQOL comparison between the elderly and the general population. Multiple stepwise linear regression analysis was used to evaluate the affecting factors. Results The HRQOL among the Chinese elderly were PF ( Physical Functioning) 79 ± 21, RP ( Role-Physical ) 68 ± 40, BP ( Bodily Pain) 72 ± 23, GH ( General Health) 57±22, VT ( Vitality ) 69 ± 20, SF ( Social Functioning) 79 ± 23, RE ( Role-Emotional ) 72 ±40, M H ( Mental Health)76 ± 18, which were lower than Sichuan Norm on 7 dimensions ( P ＜ 0. 05 ; except on M H dimension) and lower than Hangzhou Norm on 5 dimensions (P ＜ 0. 05 ;except on GH, VT, and MHdimensions). The important affecting factors included physical exercise, education level, medical history of chronic disease, age, race, marriage, body mass index ( BMI ), sleeping habits, and gender. Conclusions Compared with the general population, the HRQOL in the elderly might be lower. The health policy and community heahhcare services should focus on the elderly individuals with insufficient exercise, lower education level, chronic disease history, and ethnic minority, or widows. Health education should encourage them to improve physical exercise and sleeping behavior.

Objective To investigate the response of multiple myeloma (MM) cells to 8-chloroadenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (8-Cl-cAMP) and the impact of arsenic trioxide (As2O3) on the above reaction.Methods MM-derived cell lines RPMI8226 and U266 were used as in vitro models.Cell apoptosis was evaluated according to cellular morphology and DNA content measured by flow cytometry.Meanwhile,rhodamine 123 (Rh123) staining and flow cytometry assay were used to detect the changes of mitochondrial transmembrane potentials (△ψm) in MM cells before and after the treatment.The synergic effects of 8-Cl-cAMP and As2O3 were evaluated by King' s formula.Results The 8-Cl-cAMP could induce growth inhibition of RPMI8226 and U266 cells in dose and time-related manners.The 8-Cl-cAMP could trigger apoptosis and △ψm collapse in MM cells through cellular morphology and flow cytometry analysis.As2O3 accelerated 8-Cl-cAMP-mediated apoptosis of RPMI8226 cells,but there were few synergic effects observed.Conclusion 8-Cl-cAMP could induce cell proliferation inhibition and apoptosis in MM cells.Mitochondria may be one of targets in 8-Cl-cAMP-mediated apoptosis.Furthermore,As2O3 catalyzes 8-Cl-cAMP-induced apoptosis.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and toxicity of EPOCH regimen in the treatment of elderly patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Methods Twenty-eight elderly patients with pathologically diagnosed peripheral T-cell lymphoma were treated with EPOCH regimen, including 96-hour continuous infusion of etoposide 50 mg/m2, epirubincin 12 mg/m2 and vincristin 0.4 mg/m2 on daysl through 4,cyclophosphamide 750 mg/m2 given as intravenous bolus on day 5 and prednisone 60 mg/m2 administered orally on daysl through 5. The EPOCH regimen was repeated very 21 days. Clinical efficacy and safety profiles of EPOCH regimen was systemically reviewed and analysed. Results All the 28 patients received a total of 85 cycles of EPOCH regimen. The median cycles was two courses. Fifteen patients achieved complete response, while five cases obtaining partial response. The overall response rate was 71.4 %. The median survival time was 20 months. In newly diagnosed patients, complete response rate (CR) as well as partial response (PR) and overall response rate (OR) reached 64.7 %, 23.5 % and 88.2 %, respectively, which was significantly higher than that in refractory cases, whose CR, PR and OR were 36.4 %, 9.1% and 45.5 %(λ 2 = 5.99, P ＜0.05). In addition, the median survivalduration of newly diagnosed patients was longer than that of refractory cases, whose median survival time was 24 and 13 months, respectively. The major adverse events was myelosuppression with grade 3-4 neutropenia and thrombocytopenia in 53.6 % and 50.0 % cases.Non-hematologic toxicities were moderate and uncommon. The frequency of adverse effects in de novo patients showed little difference in comparison with that in refractory ones (P＞0.05). Conclusion EPOCH regimen was an effective and well tolerated therapeutic schedule for elderly patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of preemptive analgesiawith ultrasound-guided modified dorsal penile nerve block combined ketorolac tromethamine for circumcision in pediatric patients.Methods Forty-five pediatric patients with ASA grade Ⅰ undergoing elective circumcision were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=15 each).The same intravenous compound anesthesia was used in the three groups.The pediatric patients underwent ultrasound-guided modified dorsal penile nerve block with a mixture of 0.1 ml/kg of 0.2% ropivacaine and 0.8% lidocaine before operation in group A and group B.The pediatric patients were given ketorolac tromethamine 1 mg/kg intramuscular injection before operation in group A and group C.The total consumption of propfol and sufentanil, occurrence of intraoperative body movement and respiratory depression, emergence time, time from waking up to going out of PACU and adverse reactions such as postoperative agitation, nausea, vomiting and pruritus were aslo recorded.The requirement for postoperative paracetamol suppositories was recorded.Results Compared with group C, the total consumption of propfol and sufentanil were significantly decreased, incidence of body movement andrespiratory depression were significantly decreased, the emergence time and time from waking up to going out of PACU was significantly shortened, requirement for paracetamol suppositories were significantly decreased in group A and group B(P<0.05).Compared with group B, incidence of requirement for paracetamol suppositories was significantly decreased in group A (P<0.05).No pediatric patients developed postoperative nausea, vomiting, pruritus and incidence of emergence agitation had no statistical difference in the three groups.Conclusion Preemptive analgesia with ultrasound-guided modified dorsal penile nerve block combined ketorolac tromethamine is safe and effective when used for circumcision in pediatric patients, and it has good efficacy of postoperative analgesia.

Objective To compare the clinical effectiveness between the channel-assisted mini-invasion and open Achilles shortening for treatment of the elongated Achilles tendon following previous rupture.Methods The clinical data of 19 patients admitted from Dec. 2013 to Dec. 2015 and met the inclusion criteria were analyzed retrospectively. Eight patients were treated with shortening operation by channel-assisted minimally invasive repair system, while 11 patients received dissection of Krackow Achilles tendon shortening. There was no significant difference between the two groups in gender, age, injury to operation time, preoperative calf circumference and preoperative AOFAS (American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society) score (P>0.05).Results The operation time, incision length and postoperative hospital days were significantly less in min-invasion group than in incision group (P<0.05). After operation, wound healing by first intention was obtained in incision group except 1 case which got infection and healed by treatment 2 weeks later. No sural nerve and vascular injury and lower extremity deep vein thrombosis existed. MRI showed that the Achilles tendon recovered in both groups at the 8th week follow-up. The patients were followed up for 12-17 months in the mini-invasion group and 12-20 months in the incision group. The calf circumference and AOFAS score of both groups were higher in the last follow-up than that in pre-operation (P<0.05), but no significant difference existed between the two groups at the last follow-up (P>0.05).ConclusionChannel-assisted minimally invasive Achilles tendon shortening operation has not only similar effectiveness to the incision shorting operation for the treatment of elongated Achilles tendon following previous rupture, but also has the advantages of shortening operation time and stay in hospital and avoidance of sural nerve injury.
