Objective To study the expressions of heat shock protein 27(HSP27)in brain tissue and the changes of antibody of HSP27 in serum after transient cerebral ischemic reperfusion in gerbils.Methods A cerebral ischemia-reperfusion model in gerbils was established by clamping both common carotids.Sixty gerbils were randomly divided into normal control group,sham operation group and ischemia-reperfusion(IR)group.The expressions of HSP27 in brain tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry technique and the changes of antibody of HSP27 were detected by ELISA technique at the 6th hour,1st day,3rd and 7th day after IR.Experimental results were analyzed with the statistic soft package of Spss11.5.Results Experimental results revealed that HSP27 were expressed in neurons and gliacytes of the brain tissue in the 60 gerbils.There was mild expressions of HSP27 in neurons and gliacytes in normal control group and sham operation group, but it has no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05).Compared with normal control group,the expressions of HSP27 in neurong and gliacytes of ischemia-reperfusion gerbils were evidently increased at the 6th hour,1st day,3rd day and 7th day,especially at the 3rd day(P<0.01).Conclusions Expressions of HSP27 in neurons and gliacytes of gerbils were increased markedly.This suggested that the increased expressions of HSP27 could protect the brain tissue from damage.The changes of antibody in serum of normal control group,sham operation group were evidently less than that in group IR,which suggest the HSP27 antibody may damage our body.

Objective To explore the main influence factors of ederly people's cognitive function and provide the countermeasures. Methods A cross-sectional study was performed in the elderly volunteers who were sampled from halves of the counties of 22 provinces in China.Modified minimental state examination(MMSE)scale was adopted to investigate the 6819 Chinese elderly people who were investigated in the Chinese elderly health questionnaire in 2002.Simple Chi-square test and multiple logistic regressions were applied in the analysis. Results The results showed that the perfect rate of cognition function was 85.0%in male,and 80.43%in female.The rate was 97.7%in people at age of 60-69 years,94.8%,70-79 years,85.0%,80-89 years,71.11%,90-99 years,55.7%,100-111 years,94.8%.There existed significant cognitive function differences in gender,age,education,born place,marital status,1iving status,smoking history,drinking history,physical exercise,self-satisfaction with life,affective state and healthy status(all P<0.01).Non-conditional logistic regression analysis showed that influence factors of cognitive function of the elderly were age,education level,marital status,physical exercise and optimistic state. Conclusions The risk factors for cognitive function are aging and widowhood.Higher education,regular physical exercise,optimistic state are protective factors for cognitive function.

Objective To understand the status of knowledge awareness rates and influencing factors of clonorchiasis among the residents in 4 counties(cities)of Hunan Province,so as to provide the references for formulating the prevention and control strategy of clonorchiasis in the province. Methods A total of 1224 subjects were selected by the multi-stage cluster sampling method and investigated with questionnaires and face-to-face interviews. Results The clonorchiasis knowledge awareness rates of the residents were 15.67% in Yongzhou City,9.94% in Yueyang City,13.25% in Wangcheng County,and 21.96% in Tongd-ao County,respectively. In the whole province,the clonorchiasis knowledge awareness rates of the residents were 44.67%, 56.43%,60.95%,and 42.46% in the etiology,clinical manifestations,epidemiological characteristics and daily prevention,re-spectively. The logistic regression showed that the influencing factors of clonorchiasis knowledge awareness rates were the daily dining place,whether or not having the medical personnel in the family,the degree of attention to the relevant news reports, and the history of parasitic diseases. Conclusions The level of clonorchiasis than that in other areas,but the overall level of clonorchiasis knowledge awareness of the residents in Hunan Province is not high. Therefore,the relevant authority should strengthen the health education in clonorchiasis prevention knowledge including personal daily food hygienic knowledge. knowl-edge awareness rate of the residents in the west-southern areas of Hunan Province is higher

OBJECTIVE:To systematically evaluate the effects of phenytoin on 3 kinds of cardiovascular disease-related factors (Folic acid ,vitamin B 12 and homocysteine)in epilepsy patients ,and to provide evidence-based reference for clinical treatment of epilepsy. METHODS :Retrieved from PubMed ,Google scholar ,CJFD,VIP and Wanfang database ,observational studies about using phenytoin (trial group ) versus using no antiepileptics (control group ) on the levels of folic acid ,vitamin B 12 and homocysteine in serum were collected during Jan. 1991-Jan. 2019. After data extraction of included literatures ,quality evaluation with evaluation criteria for cross-sectional study (AHRQ)scale,Rev Man 5.3 and Stata 11 softwares were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS :A total of 10 studies were included ,involving 745 patients. Meta-analysis showed that the folic acid level of trial group was significantly lower than control group [SMD =-0.90,95%CI(-1.18,-0.62),P<0.001];the level of homocysteine in trial group was significantly higher than control group [SMD =1.22,95%CI(0.73,1.71),P<0.001]. There was no significant difference in the levels of vitamin B 12 between 2 groups [SMD =- 0.19,95% CI(- 0.39,0.02),P>0.05]. CONCLUSIONS:Phenytoin can reduce the level of folic acid and increase the level of homocysteine in epilepsy patients.
