Objective To explore the protection for ischemic myocardium with warm-up phenomenon and KATP channel blocker interventional effect on it. Methods Patients with chronic stable angina who came into the study were divided into three groups according to the presence of diabetes and its treatment ways: 25 patients without diabetes came into a NDM group, 22 patients with diabetes treated with glibenclamide came into a DMG group and 25 patients with diabetes but on diet only came into a DMD group. All the patients underwent sequential bicycle ergnmeter exercise test twice (EX1, EX2)with a time interval of 15 min. Parameters including exercise duration (ED), time for 1 mm ST-segment depression (T-STD), maximum STD (mm) and corresponding heart-rate systolic blood pressure product (RPP) were observed respectively. The parameters obtained during EX2 were compared with those obtained during EX1.Results In the group NDM,ED and T-STD were prolonged [(546. 04±103.78)s vs (617.52±106. 96) s, P < 0.05 and (378.64±92.34)s vs (436.84±91.25)s, P<0.05], STDmax was shortened [(2.06± 0.37) mm vs(1.75±0.41)mm,P<0.01]and RPP was increased[(173.77±34.73) beats±min~(-1)·nun Hg~(-2) vs (199.23±37.07 beats·min~(-1)·mm Hg~(-2), p<0.05]as the parameters during EX2 were compared with those during EX1. In the group DMG, there was no difference in these analysed parameters except that T-STD was prolonged [(328.45±64.66)s vs (363.00±81.48)s, P<0.01]when these of EX2 and EX1 were compared. In the group DMD,all the analysed parameters improved significantly during the second test (EX2) in comparison with the first test (EX1) as the results in the group NDM. Conclusions Exercise test can induce warm-up phenomenon in patients with chronic stable angina poctoris.The KATP channel blocker glibenclamide can block the warm-up phenomenon.

OBJECTIVE:To analyze the medico-ethical problems of epilepsy from Medi-ethics and its effect on improving the quality of life of the persons with epilepsy.DATA SOURCES:Articles were computer-searched from Chinese Journal of Medico-ethics, Chinese Journal of Clinical Neurology, Chinese Medical Journal, Chinese Journal of NeuroMed, Chinese Journal of Nerval Mental Disorder from January 1989 to December 2004 with the key words of "epilepsy, medico-ethics and social discrimination". And the language was restricted to Chinese. And we also selected two books, which were Bioethics written by Shen Ming-xian, and The Prevention and Therapy of Epilepsy written by Zhou Zheng-xin for reference.STUDY SELECTION: From all the preliminarily screened papers, 98 papers were obtained related to epidemiology, sociology and ethics.DATA EXTRACTION: Repeated and similar papers were excluded. 10 papers and books were selected from the 98 papers, which touched upon the problems of the epileptics and their life quality. The 10 papers have involved many cross discipline subjects, such as Bioethics, Medico-ethics,and Socio-ethics, which provided more concern about the epileptics from multiple directions.DATA SYNTHESIS: Ethics indicate the principles and guidelines for relationships between people. The ethics explored here refer to normative ethics. Generally, the basic ethical principles are: respect, beneficialness,balance and justice. Since some epileptic patients lack in the knowledge of epilepsy and proper treatment and suffer from discrimination in the health care, more untreated and non-proper treatment, doctors and nursing persons should take the attitude of being beneficial to the patients. Medication for the epileptics, especially the female patients at the first period of pregnancy, the incidence of the deformed children was high. Should the principle of beneficence be applied to mothers or children? The number of the operative treatment was more and more in patients with epilepsy, while surgery itself is a risk behavior .If there is no better method to choose, and all the available choices have their advantage and disadvantages. Physicians can only choose the better one from the two kinds of harm, trying to make the patientssuffer the least harm with the largest effect. Aggressive behaviors can be observed during seizure or unconsciousness state. Controlling the moving range of the patients with epilepsy consciously is in accord with the general ethical behavior, on the contrary, confinement disobeys the morals and the curative effect is not good. The extreme behavior of the patients with epilepsy is suicide and occurred more in unemployed, unmarried and living alone, male, and patients with mental disorders in epilepsy. The direct reasons of suicide are unemployment, low social status, and little understanding and care from their communities, families and friends.The sensible ethical principle for epileptics is to treat the patients as normal people in the society.CONCLUSION: Epileptic crowd need care from the society, family and other factors. Proper considering ethical principle in treating the population is the humane solicitude and to help the patients regain health and improve the life quality.

Objective To estimate the prevalence and associated factors of adult female urinary incontinence in Hebei province. Methods Stratified and multistage sampling method was used, between January 2016 to May 2016, to investigate the target population in Hebei province. While, logistic regression was used to analyse datas. Results A population-based survey was conducted in 2 450 women in Hebei province, there were 2 408 effective questionnaires after deleting 48 invalid questionnaires. According to the results, the average age of subjects was (56±15) years old, and the urinary incontinence prevalence of adult female in Hebei province was 27.70%(667/2 408). Stress urinary incontinence, urge urinary incontinence and mixed urinary incontinence were diagnosed as 23.13%(557/2 408), 1.58%(38/2 408) and 2.99%(72/2 408), respectively. There were only 2.85% (19/667) urinary incontinence patients seeking medical help. The results of logistic regression analysis showed that age, daily water intake, pulmonary diseases, urinary tract infection, hypertension, chronic low back pain, dysmenorrhea, vaginitis, abortion, mode of delivery, postpartum infection were statistically significant (all P≤0.05). Among these factors, cesarean section was the protective factor for urinary incontinence (OR=0.365, 95%CI: 0.195-0.685, P<0.01). Conclusions The prevalence of urinary incontinence in adult female in Hebei province is high, and there are few patients seeking medical help. It is a common disorder in women and is associated with many factors;among these factors, cesarean section is the protective factor for urinary incontinence.

Objective To study the effect of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) with sublethal temperature on the production of liver cancer stem cells (LCSCs) and on the expression of LCSCs-related transcriptional factors.Methods Mouse hepl-6 hepatoma cell line and clinical samples of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were used to test the expressions of LCSCs-related markers and transcriptional factors.Results Different temperatures were used to stimulate Hep1-6 cells,and it was proved that the temperature of 45℃ was a sublethal temperature that could not induce cell death.Flow cytometry testing showed that treatment with 45℃ could obviously increase CD13+,CD44+,CD90 and CD133+ Hep1-6 cells,suggesting that treatment with 45℃ could increase the production of above mentioned types of LCSCs in hep1-6 cells.Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assay indicated that the temperature of 45℃could cause significant increase in CD13,CD90 and CD133 mRNA.In all 5 HCC patients,CD13 mRNA in the recurrent HCC lesions was remarkably increased,CD133 mRNA was increased in 4 patients with recurrent HCC,and CD90 mRNA was increased in only one patient with recurrent HCC.Flow cytometry testing revealed that CD13+ LCSCs were strikingly increased in 4 recurrent HCC patients,while CD133+LCSC was increased in only one patient,suggesting that more close correlation existed between the increase of CD13+ LCSCs and the temperature of 45℃.RT-qPCR assay showed that in 4 recurrent HCC patients with increased CD13+ LCSC,the Sox2 and Stat2 among 13 LCSCs-related transcriptional factors were obviously increased.Flow cytometry testing showed that 45℃ treatment also increased the expression of Sox2 and Stat1 mRNA in Hep1-6 cells.Finally,Sox2 and Stat1 could be knockdown by siRNAs,indicating that both Sox2 and Stat1 transcriptional factors were involved in 45℃-induced production of CD13+ LCSCs in Hep1-6 cells.Conclusion In RFA therapy,the use of sublethal temperature of 45℃ can increase CD13+LCSCs,which is related to the promotion of Sox2 and Stat1 expression.The results of this study can be used for reference in the research of liver cancer recurrence.
