Conclusion The risk of dyslipidemia is high among adult residents living in urban areas, middle-aged and elderly residents, residents with alcohol consumption, insufficient physical activity, overweight, obesity, central pre-obesity, central obesity, hypertension and diabetes.

Objective To investigate the effecacy of open reduction internal fixation in cases with rib fracture. Methods The pain scores,respiratory related clinical indicators change of 81 rib fractuure cases underwent open reduction internal fixation surgery were ob-served. A comparison was made between the surgical group and the non-surgical group of 37 cases on pain scores trend and hospital stay. Re-sults All operations were successfully completed and postoperative recovery was good. Postoperative pain scores and respiratory rate was sig-nificantly lower(P=0. 000),Oxygen saturation was significantly higher(P=0. 002),the proportion of expectoration difficult,dyspnea and ac-tivities inconvenience were significantly lower(P<0. 05). Pain scores of surgical group significantly decreased after surgery peak hours that was the fourth day hospitalized,but the overall decline of pain scores in non-surgical group was slow. The hospital stay between the surgical group and the non-surgical group was not significantly different(P=0. 084). Conclusion The efficacy of open reduction internal fixation is significant to rib fracture with exact surgery indications,and appropriate timing of surgery is the fourth day after admission.

Objective To investigate the abnormal expression of microRNA (miRNA)-25 in the serum of gastric cancer patients and its clinical significance. Methods In Xijing Hospital of Digestive Diseases,Fourth Military Medical University,86 gastric cancer patients with operation and completed follow-up data,70 gastric adenoma patients and 80 healthy controls were selected as study objects.Total RNA was isolated from the serum. After the stable and sensitive miRNA-25 absolute quantity detection method established,the serum levels of miRNA-25 in gastric carcinoma patients,gastric adenoma patients and healthy controls were tested according to this method. The expression differences of miRNA-25 in the serum of patients with gastric cancer and gastric adenoma and healthy controls were analyzed with statistic analysis,and the correlation between miRNA-25 expression level and clinic pathological features of gastric cancer was also analyzed. Results The expression level of miRNA-25 in the serum of gastric cancer patients (135. 6 fmol/μg total RNA) was significantly higher than that of gastric adenoma patients (67. 7 fmol/μg total RNA) and healthy controls (62. 2 fmol/μg total RNA)(P＜0. 01). The receiver operating characterisstic curve of miRNA-25 indicated that serum miRNA-25 with good specificity and sensitivity in gastric cancer diagnosis (AUC=0. 827). The serum level of miRNA-25 in gastric cancer patients with lymph node metastasis [(148. 3±10. 2) fmol/μg total RNA] or clinicopathological stage Ⅲ /Ⅳ patients [(146. 7±9.5) fmol/μg total RNA] was significantly higher than that of gastric cancer patients without lymph node metastasis [(120. 3±10. 1)fmol/μg total RNA] or clinicopathological stage Ⅰ/Ⅱpatients [(119. 4±12. 2) fmol/μg total RNA] (P＜0.05). The correlation statistical analysis result indicated that there was no significant difference in survival period between serum miRNA-25 highly expressed and lowly expressed gastric cancer patients (P＞0. 05).Conclusion Serum miRNA-25 testing maybe helpful in diagnosis and prognosis of gastric cancer.

Objective To investigate the causes, diagnosis and methods of prevention and treatment of delayed gastric emptying (DGE) after resection of esophageal and gastric cardia carcinoma. Methods The datas of 19 patients who had DGE after resection of esophageal and gastric cardia carcinoma in hospital from January 1993 to December 2009 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Three cases were confirmed as mechanical DGE and these patients were removed obstruction and cured by operation in time. Sixteen cases were functional DGE and were cured by conservative treatment,gastric function recovered after 7-19 d.Conclusions According to clinical manifestation,upper gastrointestinal radiography and endoscopy,the diagnosis of DGE after resection of esophageal and gastric cardia carcinoma can be confirmed. The majority of DGE are functional and the patients could be cured by conservative treatment. But the patients who have mechanical obstruction have to operate in time. The best way to prevent DGE is to improve preoperative nutrition status,enforce standard surgical manipulation,maintain effective gastrointestinal decompression and strengthen postoperative dietary control.
