Objective To investigate prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) and its related factors in patients with maintaining hemodialysis (MHD). Methods A total of 162 cases on MHD in Beijing Chaoyang Hospital during June to December 2010, were enrolled in this study and divided into MS group and non-MS group according to the diagnostic criteria for MS set by the International Diabetes Federation. Anthropometric and blood biochemical characteristics of the two groups were compared with t-test and x2 test Risk factors for MS were explored with binary logistic regression analysis. Results Prevalence of MS was 40. 7% (66/162) . There was significant difference found in body mass index [(24. 2 ±3. 1) vs. (21. 6 ±2. 7) kg/m2], waistline circumference[(93 ±8) vs. (79 ±7)cm] , white blood cell count [(6. 8 ± 1. 5) × 109/L vs. (5. 6 ± 1. 4) × 109/L] , hypersensitive serum C-reactive protein [(7 ± 5)vs. (4 ±3) mg/L], high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol [(0. 99 ±0. 26)vs. (1.39 ±0.39) mmol/L], low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol [(2. 5 ± 0. 8) vs. ( 2. 1 ± 0. 7) mmol/L], triglyceride ( TG) [( 2. 1 ±1.1 )vs. (1.3±0.8) mmol/L], fasting blood glucose [(5.9±2. 7)vs. (4.8±1.3) mmol/L], serum level of iron [(16±7)vs. (13 ±5) μmol/L], uric acid [(429±114) vs. (388±88) (μmol/L], and carbon dioxide combining power (CO2CP) [(22 ±4)vs. (23 ±4) mmol/L]between MS group and non-MS group (All P < 0.05 ) . But there was no significant difference found in subjective global assessment of nutritional status (SGA) , thickness of skin fold of the triceps muscle (TSF) between the two groups (Both P > 0.05). Binary logistic regressive analysis revealed that serum level of iron (OR = 1.058,95% CI = 1.001 -1. 119), white blood cell count ( OR = 1. 786,95% CI = 1. 346 - 2.371) and hypersensitive serum C-reactive protein (OR = 1. 101,95% CI = 1.010 - 1.201 ) were independent risk factors for MS in MHD patients. Conclusions Morbidity of MS is high in patients with MHD, involved with inflammation process. Serum level of iron, white blood cell count and hypersensitive serum C-reactive protein are independent risk factors for MS in patients with MHD and no inevitable connection between MS and nutritional status in them is found.

Objective To compare the clinical utility of s7 and s670 intracoronary sents in the management of patients with coronary artery disease. Methods The clinical follow-up outcomes of 68 patients after implantation of s7 (n=32; group Ⅰ) and s670 (n=36;group Ⅱ) intracoronary stents were retrospectively analysed. Results The successful procedure rates were 100% in group Ⅰ and 97.2% in groupⅡ. The follow-up period was six months for both groups. In group Ⅰ, there were no death, no re-infarction and no revascularization but 2 patients experienced reccurrence of angina ( 6.25%). In group Ⅱ, there were 1 death, 1 patient undergoing revascularization, 3 patients suffering from reccurrence of angina ( 13.8%). Conclusions Both s7 and s670 intracoronary stents appear to be safe and effective in the treatment of coronary lesions with favorable outcomes.

Objective To study the relationship between sex hormones and uric acid in elderly women with coronary heart disease. Methods One handred and fifteen post menopausal female patients were divided into two groups by angiographic results, CAD group (n=61)and control group(n=76).Their serum concentrations of sex hormones and uric acid and general characteristics were compared. Results Baseline clinical characteristics were similar between the two groups,except patients in the CAD group were more likely to have hypertention and diabetes mellitus than the control group .Serum concentrations of estradiol and progestin and androgen showed little difference between CAD and control group,meanwhile, serum uric acid was higher(345.6?96.5 vs 307.9?85.5, P

The relationship between Bcl-2, Bax, Fas, caspase-3 and development of hemangioma and the molecular mechanism was investigated. By using immunohistochemical S-P method, proliferating cell nuclear antigen was detected. According to the classification of Mulliken in combination with PCNA expression, 27 cases were identified as proliferating hemangioma and 22 cases as involutive hemangioma. Five normal skin tissues around the tumor tissue served as controls. By using immunohistochemical technique, the expression of Bcl-2, Bax, Fax and Caspase-3 was detected. The cells expressing Bcl-2, Bax, Fax and cappase-3 were identified as hemangioma endothelia by immunohistochemical staining of VIII factor. The average absorbance (A) and average positive area rate of Bcl-2, Bax, Fas and caspase-3 expression were measured by using HPIAS-2000 imaging analysis system. The results showed that the expression of Bcl-2 in the endothelia of proliferating hemangioma was significantly higher that in involutive degenerative hemangioma endothelia and vascular endothelia of normal skin tissue (P < 0.01). The expression of Bax, Fas and Caspase-3 in the endothelia of involutive hemangioma was obviously higher than in the endothelia of proliferating hemangioma and normal skin tissue (P < 0.01). The expression of BAx and Fas in endothelia of proliferating hemangioma was higher than in those of normal skin tissue (P < 0.05). It was suggested that Bcl-2, Bax, Fas and caspase-3 might be involved in the development and involution of hemangioma. Bcl-2 could promote the growth of hemangioma by inhibiting apoptosis of endothelia. Bax, Fas and caspase-3 promote the switch of hemangioma from proliferation to involution by inducing the apoptosis of hemangioma endothelia.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Jianpi Huatan Decoction plus Zhongwan (RN12) moxibustion on patients of mild to moderate stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with syndrome of qi deficiency of lung and spleen, and analyze the related influencing factors. Methods With prospective randomized clinical trial, 140 cases of mild to moderate stable COPD were randomized into two groups (70 cases for each group). Treatment group was treated by Jianpi Huatan Decoction plus Zhongwan moxibustion based on western medicine, and control group was only treated by western medicine. Both groups were treated for 12 weeks and followed up for 12 weeks. Scores of clinical symptoms and quality of life questionnaire were examined, and multiple logistic regression analysis was used to find possible impacting factors on the effect. Results Symptoms were significantly alleviated after treatment (P<0.01) in both groups. The clinical effects and quality of life in treatment group were significantly improved than the control group (P<0.01). There were no significant changes in life quality of control group ( P>0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that different therapies and severity of COPD were the major influencing factors of clinical effect (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion Jianpi Huatan Decoction plus Zhongwan moxibustion had significant therapeutic effect on mild to moderate stable COPD patients with syndrome of qi deficiency of lung and spleen by alleviating symptoms and improving quality of life. Treatment style and severity of COPD are the main influencing factors.

Objective To analyze the major adverse reactions of anti-hyperlipidemia drugs and their influencing factors.Methods The adverse reactions of anti-hyperlipidemia drugs in 579 patients were retrieved from the National Population and Health Scientific Data Platform.An adverse reaction-matched dictionary was established by normalizing the names of anti-hyperlipidemia drugs according to the drug name + dosage form and describing the adverse reactions according to the WHO adverse reaction terminology.The data set dimensions were analyzed by data mining.Results The adverse reaction rate of intravenous drip was 75.4% and manifested as chest distress,itching and dyspnea.The rate of adverse reaction involving organ systems was 61.1% and manifested as systemic injury,fever,discomfort and anorexia.Logistic regression analysis showed that the drug giving route was a factor influencing the severity of adverse reaction.Conclusion The adverse reactions of anti-hyperlipidemia drugs involve systemic,skin and its appendix injury.Drug giving route is the major factor influencing the severity of adverse reaction.

AIM: To compare pharmacokinetics and relative bioavailability of telmisartan capsule (T) and telmisartan tablet(R). METHODS: 20 male healthy Chinese volunteers were enrolled in a randomized two-way crossover designs with a single-oral dose study(80 mg once per day for each preparation). The plasma telmisatan concentration was determined by HPLC- fluorescence detector. Plasma levels of telmisatan were followed up to 96 h. Area under the telmisartan concentration time curve was calculated by variance analysis and the bioequivalent was determined by two one-side t-test. RESULTS: A two-compartment model was adopted in telmisartan plasma concentration-time data analysis. The pharmacokinetic parameters of T and R in single-dose study including Cmax (μg·L-1), Tmax (h), T1/2β (h), MRT(h), AUC0-92(μg·h·L-1) were as following: 456±253 and 760±314, 1.61±0.71 and 1.08±0.36, 22.39±6.29 and 21.08±5.24, 27.02±6.23 and 24.27±5.79, 3454±1050 and 3635±1300, respectively. Statistically significant differences were observed between the parameter values of the two products in Cmax and Tmax; whereas there was no statistically significant difference between AUC0-∞μg·h·L-1 (3601±1095 and 3767±1399). The relative bioavailability for T was 97.28%±12.74%. CONCLUSION: The test telmisartan capsule is bioequivalent to the reference tablet.
