Background Hypertension and dyslipidemia are the 2 important risk factors of cardiovascular affecting the prognosis of cardiovascular disease. However paucity data of characteristics of lipid metabolism and prognosis of cardiovascular diseases in high-risk groups with hypertension are available. Objective To analyze the lipid metabolism level and the relevant risk factors of inpatients with essential hypertension (EH) from 2000 to 2007. Methods Retrospective study was performed based on the clinical characteristic and the relationship between different kinds of hyperlipidemia and target organ damages in inpatient with EH. Results For the level of triglyceride (TG) and the prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia,males(n=3056) were significantly higher than females(n=1932)(P

OBJECTIVE With surveillance of the distribution and antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli during the last six years in our hospital,the basis for the reasonable clinical use of antibiotic is provided to doctor.METHODS A total of 1 907 strains of E.coli isolated during the last six years were analyzed by Kirby-Bauer disk or VITEK-2 system.RESULTS Among 1 907 strains of E.coli,1 114 strains were isolated from urine,accounted for 58.4%;215 from pus or secret,accounted for 11.3%;165 from sputum,accounted for 8.7%;and 159 from blood,accounted for 8.3%.ESBLs production rate of E.coli increased steadily from 5.11%,10.34%,14.56%,15.14%,33.79% to 29.96%,separately during the six years.The resistance of E.coli with ESBLs to most antibiotics was much higher than those without ESBLs.And E.coli demonstrated much higher resistant rate to ciprofloxacin,penicillins,and first or second generation cephalosporins,and much lower to amikacin and cefoperazone/sulbactam.No strains were found to be resistant to imipenem.CONCLUSIONS E.coli is the major pathogen,causing nosocomial infection with multi-resistant mechanism, since ESBLs-producing strain is increasing as years gone,reasonable choice of antibiotic should be in term of result of antibiotic resistant test and patient symptom to cure the E.coli infection induced.

Objective to observe plasma Brain Natriuretic Peptide level by use of low dose Betaloc for congestive heart failure.Methods We chose 31 heart failure patients with Ⅲ～Ⅳ New York Heart Association (NYHA)functional classification,and used low dose Betaloc on the basis of traditional treatment,then observed the changement of plasma Brain Natriuretic Peptide level during treatment. Results After treatment,patients' heart rate, blood pressure ,cardio-thoracic ratio and LVDd all descended,but LVEF increased.The value of BNP declined obviously,after the use of the Betaloc.Conclusions We treated congestive heart failure with low dose Betaloc,the availability ratio was more than 80%,and the value of BNP declined obviously.It implied dynamic monitoring plasma Brain Natriuretic Peptide was helpful in understanding treatment effect and prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the impact of donor age on graft short-term outcome after right lobe adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT).Method Thirty living recipients were divided into 2 groups according to donor age:older donor group (O group,donor age ＞50,n =5) and younger donor group (Y group,donor age ＜30,n =25).Alanine transarninase (ALT),aspartate transaminase (AST),total bilirubin (TB),prothrombin time (PT) on the postoperative day 1 to 5 and graft liver regenerative ratio (LRR) on the postoperative month 0.5,1,3,and 6 between 2 groups were determined and compared.Result TB on postoperative day 1,2,3,4 and 5 was significantly higher in O group than in Y group there were significant differences between two groups (P＜0.01).There was no significant difference of other liver function parameters 2 groups (P ＞ 0.05).There was no significant difference in LRRs on the postoperative month 0.5,1,3 and 6 months postoperatively between 2 groups after LDLT (P＞0.05).Conclusion Although allografts from older donors in LDLT have prolonged jaundice than those of their younger counterparts,after strictly preoperative evaluation,donor age has little effect on short-term outcomes of graft after LDLT.

Objective To evaluate the impact of donor age on early remnant liver function and regeneration after right lobe adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) donation.Methods 43 living donors were divided into 2 groups:donor age ＞ 50,n =8,and donor age ＜ 30,n =35.Alanine aminotransferase (ALT),aspartate aminotransferase (AST),total bilirubin (TB) and liver regenerative ratio (LRR) of donors between the 2 groups were compared.Results There were no significantly different in ALT,AST and TB on days 1,2,3,5 after LDLT between the 2 groups (respectively t =0.147,1.030,-0.903,0.013,0.043,1.362,0.817,0.003,1.121,0.241,1.061 and 0.943,all P＞0.05).There was significant difference between LRR on day 7 (t =-0.965,P =0.042),but the difference was not statistically significant in LRR when evaluated on day 15 after LDLT (t =0.585,P =0.385).Conclusions Remnant liver regeneration on the first week is reversely affected by donor's age after hepatectomy,while the influence of age decreases significantly after 2 weeks.

Objective To evaluate and compare liver regeneration between normal donors and recipients at the different stages after right lobe adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) using MSCT.Method Sixty-eight living donors and 63 recipients without complications were included in this study.We did CT volumetric measurement of the liver by using IQQA-Liver workstation.The relationship between graft volume measured by preoperative MSCT and intraoperative actual graft volume was evaluated.The liver regenerative ratio at different stages of donors and recipients after LDLT was calculated and compared.Result Preoperative measurement of total liver and grafts resulted in a mean volume of (1366.99 ± 234.75) cm3 (standard deviation) and (862.73 175.94) cm3 (VCT-right),respectively.Intraoperative volume of the grafts was (654.46 ± 151.23) ml (Vintraop).Corresponding pre-and intraoperative data were correlated significantly each other (r =0.795,P=0.000).Vintraop can be calculated with the equation:Vintraop =64.949 + 0.683 VCT-right.There was significantly difference in LRR between donors and recipients at 0.5,1,3 and 6 months after LDLT (P＜ 0.05).Conclusion The patterns of normal liver regeneration between donors and recipients after LDLT are different.The liver of donors regenerates more significantly and quickly than recipients.Liver volumetric measurement by using MSCT is a valid modality to evaluate liver regeneration after LDLT.

Objective To detect the expressions of nerve growth factor (NGF) and its receptors tyrosine kinase A (TrkA) as well as p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) in the lesions of lichen planus.Methods Biopsy specimens were collected from the lesions of 32 patients with lichen planus and normal skin of 12 healthy human controls and subjected to paraffin embedding.Immunohistochemical avidin-biotin complex (ABC) method was used to detect the expressions of NGF,TrkA and p75NTR.Results NGF and TrkA,which were located in the cytoplasm of keratinocytes,were strongly or moderately expressed in the lesional skin specimens,but absent or weakly expressed in the normal skin specimens (both P ＜ 0.01).No significant differences were observed in the expression of p75NTR between the lesional and normal skin specimens,or in the expressions of NGF,TrkA or p75NTR among specimens from patients in different age groups,patients of different gender or lesions at different sites (all P ＞ 0.05).There was a positive correlation between the expression of NGF and TrkA in the lesions of lichen planus (R2 =0.535,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion NGF may play a certain role in the development of lichen planus via its highaffinity receptor TrkA.

Objective To evaluate graft regeneration and influencing factors after right lobe adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) using MSCT.Method Sixty-three living recipients were included in this study.We measured graft volume periodically by using MSCT and IQQA-Liver workstation.The liver regenerative ratio (LRR) of different stages of recipients after LDLT was calculated and compared,and stepwise regression analysis was done to set up the regression equation.Result Within 0.5 month after LDLT,graft volume was increased rapidly,and LRR reached maximum [(106.11 + 30.90)％],then decreased slowly.There was significant difference in LRR among 0.5,1 month and 3,6 months after LDLT (P＜0.05).The following factors,including whether the graft containing middle hepatic vein or not,age and sex of recipients,had no significant influence on LRR after LDLT (P＞0.05).The status of liver function of recipients preoperatively had significant influence on LRR 0.5 month after LDLT (P＜0.05).There was significantly negative correlation between the graft volume and LRRs of recipients at different stages after LDLT (P ＜ 0.05).Regression equation could be derived.Conclusion Most evident graft regeneration occurs in early stage after adult LDLT.There are many and different factors influencing graft regeneration at the different stages after LDLT.Graft volumetric measurement by using MSCT is a valid modality to evaluate graft regeneration after LDLT.

Objective To evaluate donor remnant liver regeneration and influencing factors at different stages after right lobe adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) using multi-slice spiral computed tomography (MSCT).Methods 68 living donors were included in this study,We did CT volumetric measurement of the liver by using IQQA-Liver workstation.Liver regenerative ratio (LRR) at different stages of donors after LDLT were calculated and compared,correlation coefficient and stepwise regression analysis were calculated.Results The difference between LRRs at different stages after LDLT were significant (F =3.323,P =0.009),there were significant difference between LRR of 7-day and 1-month,3-month (respectively t =-2.065,-2.214,all P ＜ 0.05).The inclusion of middle hepatic vein and donor gender had no influence on LRR (respectively t =0.600,-0.622,1.464,0.926,-1.228,0.624,-0.688,0.131,all P ＞ 0.05).There were negative correlation between the remnant liver volume and LRRs (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions MSCT is a valid modality to evaluate remnant liver regeneration after LDLT.Most evident remnant liver regeneration occurs in early stage after adult LDLT.

Objective To study the relationship of the university students' procrastination and big five personality factors.Methods 461 university students were assessed by the simple edition of tuckman procrastination scale(TPS) and the big five personality inventory short form(NEO-FFI).Results TPS score of the student was (48.51 ± 7.66).There were 89.4% students respectively had different level of procrastination behavior.There were no significant differences in university students by the gender(47.95 ±7.84 vs 48.95 ± 7.43 ) ,whether one-child students(48.64 ± 7.49 vs 48.45 ± 7.81 ) and grades.There were significant positive correlation between procrastination and the personality factor of neuroticism( r=0.235, P＜0.01 ) and significant negative correlation with extraversion ( r=-0.180, P ＜ 0.01 ) and conscientiousness ( r =-0.198, P ＜ 0.01 ).The big five personality factors of neuroticism,extraversion and conscientiousness could explain the 14.0% variation of procrastination of university students.Conclusion Procrastination is a very common phenomenon in the university students.The students with higher neuroticism, lower extraversion and conscientiousness of big five personality have more procrastination behavior.
