Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of abnormal ankle brachial index(ABI) in Xinjiang adult population. Method Random samples maternal age 35 and over were used to analyze the prevalence and distributing feature of self-reported abnormal ABI among different nationality in 7 municipalities and locality and 26 community and autonomous county in Xinjiang. Results A total of 14 618 adults were surveyed. The prevalence of abnormal ABI was 1.26％. The prevalence of abnormal ABI was 3.56％, 7.05％ and 5.79％ in Han, Uygur and Hazakh population, respectively.Incidence of abnormal ABI was significantly higher in females than in males (6. 65％ vs 3. 74％, X2 =58.79,P =0.00). Gender, nationality, systolic blood pressure, body mass index were independent predictors for abnormal ABI. Conclusions The results of this study showed higher prevalence rate of abnormal ABI, especially in females, in Xinjiang. Nationality and gender are predictors for abnormal ABI.

Seventy Escherichia coli isolates recovered from diseasedchickens diagnosed with colibacillosis in Henan Province,China, between 2004 and 2005 were characterized forantimicrobial susceptibility profiles via a broth doublingdilution method. Overall, the isolates displayed resistanceto trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (100%), oxytetracycline(100%), ampicillin (83%), enrofloxacin (83%), and ciprofloxacin(81%), respectively. Among the phenicols, resistance wasapproximately 79% and 29% for chloramphenicol andflorfenicol, respectively. Molecular detection revealed thatthe incidence rates of the floR, cmlA, cat1, cat2 and cat3were 29, 31, 16, 13, and 0%, respectively. Additionally,10% of the isolates were positive for both floR and cmlA.As these antimicrobial agents may potentially inducecross-resistance between animal and human bacterialpathogens, their prudent use in veterinary medicine ishighly recommended.

Objective To investigate the relationship between stroke and ankle-brachial index (ABI), pulse wave velocity (PWV) in Han, Uighur, and Kazakh populations of Xinjiang. Methods Data was from the investigation of cardiovascular risk survey (CRS) program among different nationalities in Xinjiang from October 2007 to March 2010. A total of 14 618 samples aged over 35 with complete data dimension were surveyed. Results ( 1 ) There were 633 patients with stroke, including 258 Hans (4.48%), 247 Uighurs (5.18%), and 128 Kazakhs (3.13%). The incidence of stroke was significant different in the three ethnic groups (P＜0.001). (2)Compared to the Han population, the incidence of stroke was higher ( OR= 1.304) in Uighur but lower (OR=0.794) in Kazakh. (3) PWV was significant different between stroke and non-stroke patients. After adjustment for age, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, triglyceride, total cholesterol and other risk factors, the difference remained significant, indicating that PWV (OR=1.001, P＜0.001) might associate with the occurrence of stroke. Conclusion The results of this study showed that the incidence of stroke was significantly different in the three ethnic groups. PWV might associate with the occurrence of stroke.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and distributing feature of chronic heart failure (CHF) in adult population of Xinjiang. Methods Four-stage random sampling method was used to analyze the prevalence and distributing feature of self-reported congestive heart failure among different nationalities in adult (35 years and over) population of Xinjiang. Sampling was collected from 6 localities ( Urumqi, Kelamayi, Fukang, Turfan Basin, Hetian, Yili Hazakh). Results A total of 8459 adults were surveyed. The prevalence of CHF was 1.26% in this cohort The prevalence of CHF was 0.89% , 1. 11% and 2. 14% * in Han, Uygur and Hazakh population, respectively ( * P <0. 05 vs. Han and Uygur). The risk of CHF was higher in the males than in the females ( 1. 61% vs. 0. 93% , u = 2. 79, P < 0. 05 ) . The prevalence of CHF increased in proportion with aging and was 0. 29% , 0. 60% , 1. 32% , 2. 55% and 4. 10% in 35 - 44, 45 - 54, 55 - 64, 65 - 74, 75 years and over age groups, respectively. Common complications of CHF were hypertension ( 63. 55% ), coronary heart disease ( 42. 99% ) , diabetes (18.69%), valvular heart disease (5.61%) and atrial fibrillation (4.67%). Conclusion The prevalence of CHF in Xinjiang was higher than the average level in China (0. 9% ) and was the highest in the Hazakh population.

Objectives:To systemically review the safety and efficacy of bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) versus everolimus eluting stent (EES) for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods:The database searched includes PubMed, Medline, MEDILINE, EMBASE, Cochrane library, CNKI and Wanfang. Database retrieval time was between database establishment time to October 2017. During the same time, authors accessed the conference summary and related websites to collect published randomized controlled trials of published data. To evaluate the quality of the literature according to the modified Jadad scale and extracted the data. Meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.3 software. Results:Nine trials were included; 6 721 patients were randomized to receive BVS (n=3 670) or EES (n=3 051). Time of follow-up was ranged from 6 to 36 months. Compared with metallic EES, risk of target lesion failure (RR=1.31, 95%CI:1.08-1.58; P=0.005) and in-stent thrombosis (RR=2.89, 95%CI:1.85-4.53; P＜0.0001), ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization (RR=1.44,95%CI:1.12-1.86, P=0.005)、target-vessel myocardial infarction (RR=1.74, 95%CI:1.33-2.27, P＜0.0001) and all myocardial infarction (RR=1.49, 95%CI:1.16-1.91, P=0.002) were all significantly higher in BVS group than in EES group. There were no significant differences in all-cause death (RR=0.87, 95 % CI:0.57-1.33, P=0.520), cardiovascular mortality (RR=0.78, 95%CI:0.54-1.11, P=0.160) and composite endpoints (RR=1.10, 95%CI:0.95-1.27, P=0.210) between the two groups. Conclusions:Compared with metallic EES, the BVS appears to be associated with both lower efficacy and higher thrombotic risk during the observation period.

Objective To investigate the estimation of early and mid-term wound age by a combination of four mRNAs, the DNA polymerase delta-interacting protein 3 （POLDIP3） mRNA, regulator of chromosome condensation 1 like （RCC1L） mRNA, proline-rich 5 （PRR5） mRNA, and ribonucleic acid export 1 （RAE1） mRNA in rats skeletal muscles. Methods The model of rat skeletal muscle contusion was established, and then contusion area muscle tissue was extracted 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44 and 48 h after injury. Histomorphological changes during the repair process after rat skeletal muscle contusion were observed. The relative expressions of Poldip3, Rcc1l, Prr5 and Rae1 mRNAs were detected by reverse transcription real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （RT-qPCR）. Different stages of wound age were classified by using the expression patterns of four genes at various time points after injury. The accuracy of the results was verified by Fisher discriminant analysis. Results Histomorphological results showed that the repair process after skeletal muscle contusion occurred with the prolonging of time. Through combination of the expression trends of the four kinds of mRNAs, the 48 h after injury could be divided into three periods, 4-12 h, 16-28 h and 32-48 h. The Fisher discrimination method showed that the classification accuracy rates of the three periods were 83.3%, 75.0% and 73.3%, respectively. Conclusion The classification discrimination based on the relative expression of every gene has a higher accuracy, and the accuracy of wound age estimation with combination of mRNA relative expressions is higher than that with a single indicator. By combining with Fisher discrimination method, this method can be used for early and mid-term wound age estimation.

OBJECTIVE: To explore surgical methods and clinical effects of three different types of mini skin flap transplantation for repairing finger soft tissue with bone defect. METHODS: Thirty-three patients with finger soft tissue or bone defect were treated from December 2014 to October 2016, including 24 males and 9 females aged from 21 to 52 years old with an average of (36.42±5.70) years old, and soft tissue defect area ranged from 1.3 cm×1.8 cm to 2.3 cm×4.2 cm. According to damage degree, nature and patients' options, 15 finger of 15 cases were adopted retrograde dorsal metacarpal artery perforators fascia flap, 10 fingers of 9 cases were treated with free foot artery descending branch wrist skin flap, 9 fingers of 9 cases were treated with free the second toe details phalanges compound flap. Survival rate, postoperative complications and finger function assessed by Dargan functional criteria at the latest follow up were observed. RESULTS: All flaps were survived, both of donor site and recipient site were without deep infected. The donor site of one patient occurred necrotic, and the distal donor site of one patient occurred surface necrotic, then healed by active dressing change. All patients were followed up from 6 to 16 months with an average of(8.34±1.28) months. Two points of finger recognition were restored between 8 and 12 mm with an average of (8.84±0.43) mm, and the appearance, texture and sensory functions of skin flap were restored. No obvious complications were observed on the donor site. According to Dargan function evaluation of finger joints, 18 patients got excellent results, 14 moderate and 1 good. CONCLUSIONS Three kinds of mini skin flap could receive good results in repairing soft tissue of finger or bone defect. Reverse dorsal metacarpal artery perforator fascia flap is not necessary with anastomosing blood vessels and has advantages of safe, simple and high survival rate. Descending branch of superior cutaneous branch of free ulnar artery could cut multiple other perforator flaps simultaneously, and the scar is small and hidden. Dissociated the second toe combined metatarsal phalangeal flap could repair shape and function of finger to the maximum extent and donor site is hidden.
