Objective To investigate and analyze the health care seeking behavior,financial burden and relative factors of patients with rheumatic diseases in Fujian Province.Methods Patients diagnosed with rheumatic diseases were investigated in Fujian Provincial Hospital from December 2013 to February 2014,including demographic data,health care seeking behavior and financial burden.Relevant factors were analyzed by Logistic regression.Results ① In this study,474 patients were enrolled.The ratio of male to female was 1∶2.38.② At the onset of symptoms,51.9％(246 cases) of patients visited a doctor as soon as possible,and 36.1％(171 cases) of them went to hospital within a month after disease onset.③ 74.1％(351 cases) of patients could adhere to medication regimen prescribed by doctors,and the most common reason for stopping medication was symptoms relieved (33.3％,41 cases).④ 63.1％(299 cases) of patients learned about the knowledge of rheumatic diseases from hospitals and doctors.⑤ 34.2％(162 cases) of patients spent 1 000-5 000 yuan every month on treatment.⑥ Insurance type could affect the time of first visit to hospital (P=0.004),while income and cost of therapy might impact patients' compliance (P=0.013,P=0.004).Conclusion Most patients will go to hospital as soon as possible and adhere to treatment.Economic situation is the main factor influencing health care seeking behavior of patients with rheumatic diseases.

A series of 6 novel 2-amino-4, 5-diarylpyrimidines were synthesized by the reaction of isoflavones with guanidine. They were identified by the spectra of IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and elemental analysis. The protective effects of 2-amino-4, 5-diarylpyrimidines against oxygen-glucose deprivation leading by sodium hydrosulfite in PC12 cells were studied by MTT method. It was shown that 2-amino-4, 5-diarylpyrimidines exhibited neuroprotective effects against oxygen-glucose deprivation injury in PC12 cells, which could increase the amount of survival PC12 cells and reduce their injured degree in the model.

This study was aimed to investigate the theoretical basis of Jian-Shen Li-Shui (JSLS) formula. Knowledge
of acute phase of cerebral hemorrhage in ancient Chinese medicine literature, modern pathophysiology theories, experimental researches and clinical results were studied, in order to discuss theoretical basis of JSLS formula. The results showed that JSLS formula embodied basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and experiences of physicians from different generations. It also reflected modern pharmacology research results. It was supported by animal experiments and clinical research results. It was concluded that JSLS formula was in accordance with essence of TCM syndrome differentiation. There were enough evidences for the formation of the formula. It was worthy of further study.

Objective To evaluate the right ventricular global systolic function by real-time three dimensional echocardiography (RT-3DE) and two dimensional echocardiography (2DE) in normal children,and investigate their correlation with age,height,weight,body surface area (BSA) and cardiac cycle time.Methods In 192 normal children,2DE right ventricular systolic function indexes were obtained at the apical four chamber view,including:tricuspid annular lateral wall peak systolic excursion (TAPSE),tricuspid annular peak systolic velocity (TRV) and right ventricular systolic area shortening (RVa).Full volume imaging of right ventricle was obtained at the parasternal four-chamber view near the apex by RT-3DE.The right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) was analyzed by TomTec RV-Function.The correlation analysis was performed between RT-3DE and 2DE indexes.The correlation and regression analysis on RT-3DE and 2DE indexes with above physical development indexes were also studied.At the same time 192 normal children were divided into five groups by age.2DE and RT-3DE indexes were compared with each other among five age groups.Results RVEF had no statistical correlation with all 2DE indexes (P ＞0.05).The correlation analysis on RT-3DE and 2DE indexes with physical development indexes demonstrated that TAPSE,TRV had strong positive correlation with the above indexes (P =0.000),while RVa had no statistical correlation with the above indexes (P ＞0.05).RVEF had weak positive correlation with cardiac cycle time r =0.180,P =0.014),but it had no statistical correlation with the other indexes (P ＞0.05).Stepwise regression analysis showed that the significant factor for TAPSE and TRV was height (R2 =0.508,P =0.000)and BSA (R2 =0.130,P =0.000)separately.In five age groups RVEF and RVa remained constant (P ＞0.05).However for TAPSE and TRV significant difference were found in part of comparisons between groups(P ＜0.05).Conclusions Although RVEF assessed by RT-3DE was slightly influenced by heart rate,it was independent of age,height,weight,BSA.It was a stable index for evaluating right ventricular systolic function among different age and physical development population.

Objective To evaluate right ventricular(RV) global and regional volume and systolic function by real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT-3DE) in normal children with different age.Methods One hundred and ninty-two normal children were divided into five groups by age:group Ⅰ,＜1 years old,32 cases;group Ⅱ,≥1 years old-＜3 years old,46 cases;group Ⅲ,≥3 years old-＜6 years old,36 cases;group Ⅳ,≥6 years old-＜9 years old,41 cases;group Ⅴ,≥9 years old-＜14 years old,37 cases.Full volume imaging of RV was obtained at the parasternal four-chamber view near the apex by RT-3DE.RT-3DE data set were analyzed off-line by TomTec RV-Function.RV were divided into three parts:inflow,body,outflow.The measurements were including RV global and regional end-diastolic volume (EDV),end-systolic volume (ESV),ejection fraction (EF) and the ratio of regional parts EDV to RVEDV. The volume and systolic function were compared in three regional parts.RV global and regional parts EF and the ratio of regional parts EDV to RVEDV were also compared in five age groups.Correlation analysis and curve estimation were studied on RV global and regional EDV with age and physical development indexes.Results In the comparison of three regional parts:inflow EDV and EF were higher than outflow and body parts (P＜0.05).No significant different was found between outflow EDV and body EDV (P＞0.05),however,outflow EF was significant higher than body EF(P＜0.05).The comparison of RV global and regional EF in five age groups were no statistical different (P＞0.12). The ratio of regional parts EDV to RVEDV remained constant in five age groups(P＞0.58).Correlation analysis showed the global and regional RV volume were strongly correlated with age,height,weight and BSA (r＞0.77,P=0.000).The best correlation was found with BSA (r＞0.83,P=0.000).Curve estimation demonstrated that the relationship of RV global and regional EDV with age and physical development indexes could be best expressed by power model,the best matched model were found with BSA.Conclusions Among three regional parts of RV,inflow and outflow parts volume contraction were the two main contribution factors for RV function.In childhood RV volume didn't increase linearly with age and physical development indexes,but in an exponential model.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the applicability of immune-related response criteria (irRC) in treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by Chinese medicine (CM).

METHODSTotally 97 stage III a-IV NSCLC patients were predominantly treated with comprehensive CM. Curative effects were evaluated by three methods such as Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), Oncologic Curative Effect Evaluation Criteria of Chinese Medicine in Solid Tumor (draft, abbreviated as CM criteria), and irRC. The correspondency and consistency between irRC, RECIST and CM criteria were analyzed and compared. The objectivity of irRC in evaluating curative effect of Chinese medical treatment for NSCLC was assessed.

RESULTSThe correspondency rate of irRC to RECIST was 59. 79% with Kappa value of 0. 379 (U test, P <0. 01). The two criteria had certain correspondence, but with an unsatisfactory consistency. The correspondency rate of irRC to CM criteria rate was 83. 51% with Kappa value of 0.751 (U test, P <0. 01). The two criteria had good correspondence and consistency.

CONCLUSIONSCM criteria had good consistency with CM criteria in evaluating curative effect for Chinese medical treatment of advanced NSCLC. Its results could objectively reflect features and advantages of CM for treating advanced NSCLC.
