Systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure of compound Yibazhen granules high dose group decreased significantly in 4 weeks,compared with the model control group (P<0.05). Compared with the model control group, concentration of urea and crea in compound Yibazhen granules high dose group, middle dose group and low dose group were significantly lower( P<0.05) . The content of NOS and AngⅡ in rats of compound Yibazhen granules high dose group decreased significantly and the contents of NO increased, which were compared with the model control group ( P<0. 05, P<0. 01 ) . Conclusion The protective effect of compound Yibazhen granules in treating early renal damage in SHR is related to decreasing diastolic blood pressure,concentration of urea,crea and AngⅡ and regulating the levels of NOS and NO.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of hyperuricemia (HUA) in rural residents of Gaoyou City,Jiangsu Province.Methods A total of 4504 rural residents were investigated in a cross-sectional study.Questionarre survey and physical examination were used for the stndy.Fatsing venous blood samples were collected for biochemical examination.T-test,chi-square test for multiple-group data comparison and logistic regression analysis were used for statistical analysis.Results The prevalence of HUA was 11.9％,15.7％ in male,which was significantly higher than 8.6％ in the female (P＜0.01),the risks of HUA in male was 1.98 times higher than in female.The average value of serum uric acid in this population was higher than.that of female.The prevalence of HUA in female increased with age.Non-conditional logistic regression analysis showed WHR,Cr,Tg,hypertension were the independent risk factors of male patients with HUA.Age,BMI,Cr,Tg,hypertension were independent risk factors of HUA in female.Conclusion The prevalence of HUA can be affected by age and sex.Weight control,keeping blood pressure and blood lipid profiles in normals levels are important for the prevention of HUA.

Objective To investigate the Camtrylobacterjejuni's risk factors which were associated with the development of Guillain-Barre syndrome( GBS), the galE gene of C. jejuni strains were sequenced and the sequencing results were compared with other C. jejuni strains. Methods Selecting three GBS-asso-ciated C.jejuni strains isolated from stools of GBS patients who had been diagnosed as AMAN pattern by clin-ical and electrophysiological test from Hebei province, China. After sequencing galE gene, the results were spliced and assembled into a complete sequence by the terminals overlapped each other. The sequences of galE gene were compared with the corresponding sequences in GenBank to find the mutation and constructed the phylogenetic tree. Results The variation frequency of galE sequences of GBS-associated C. jejuni were higher than that of non-GBS-associated C. jejuni. The phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that each of the three C. jejuni strains was separately genetically closed to three strains which sequences have published in GenBank. The alignment with the related sequence of NCTC11168 shows that there are 4 same mutations in the galE gene of the three C. jejuni strains. The phylogenic tree reflected the regional feature of C. jejuni. Conclusion The probability of sequence variation of galE of GBS-associated C.jejuni is significantly higher than non-GBS-associated C. jejuni strains, the relation between the variation and GBS-pathogenesis remains to be further confirmed. The mutations found in the three C. jejuni strains established the foundation for ex-ploring the biologically characteristic of GBS-associated C. jejuni strains.

Objective To evaluate the accuracy and value of measurement of left ventricular systolic function in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients with stereo three-dimensional echocardiography (S3 DE). Methods End-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV),stroke volume(SV) and ejection fraction(EF) of the left ventricle were measured with M-mode echocardiography(ME),two-dimensional echocardiography(2DE) and S3DE in DCM patientsC20 cases). HCM patients(20 cases),and normal controls(20 cases). The different results among the three groups or three methods were analyzed. Results (①In all the three groups,the results of EDV,ESV,and SV obtained with ME were significantly higher than those obtained with S3DE( P <0. 01). Only in normal group( P <0. 01) and HCM group ( P <0. 05) ,the results of EF obtained with ME and 2DE were significantly higher than that obtained with S3DE. ②By S3DE,compared with normal group,EDV,ESV were increased and EF was decreased obviously in DCM group (all P <0. 01); while in HCM group, only SV was significantly higher( P < 0. 01). ③EDV, ESV, and EF measured by S3DE were correlated and fit well with those measured by 2DE(r = 0.778,0.876, 0.932;R2 =0.605,0.767,0.869;all P <0.01). ④Within HCM group,excluding the impact of heart rate,cardiac output (CO) was highly correlated with SV( r = 0. 987,P < 0. 01). Conclusions S3DE can real-time display the stereo structure of the heart, and accurately and reliably assess the left ventricular systolic function, with a priority over traditional ME and 2DE methods. EDV,ESV, and EF are still effective indicators for the clinical assessment of left ventricular systolic function. SV obtained with S3DE will be expected to be the more sensitive and accurate value in assessing left ventricular systolic function in patients with early-stage cardiomyopathy.

Objective To explore the effect and complication of synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV) combined with pressure support ventilation (PSV) and targeted tidal volume (TTV) in treatment of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome(NRDS).Methods Fifty-three neonates with severe NRDS between Jan.2010 and Dec.2012 were randomly assigned to 2 groups according to the ventilation mode:SIMV + PSV + TTV group (n =27),and assist/control group (A/C group) (n =26).The oxygenation status,the durations of oxygen exposure and ventilation and the incidence of complications were observed.Results The oxygenation status arterial oxygen partial pressure/fraction of inspired oxygen (P/F),arterial oxygen partial pressure/alveolar O2 tension(a/APO2) in the SIMV + PSV +TTV group were significantly improved at 6 h after ventilation (t =9.393,4.856,all P ＜ 0.05) ;and compared with A/ C group,they were significantly improved at 6 h (t =6.132,2.805,all P ＜ 0.05),24 h (t =2.890,2.682,all P ＜0.05),72 h (t =3.804,4.053,all P ＜ 0.05) after ventilation in the SIMV + PSV + TTV group.The incidences of air leak syndrome and ventilation-associated pneumonia(VAP) were lower in the SIMV + PSV + TTV group than those in the A/C group(t =3.908,4.178,all P ＜ 0.05).There were no significant differences in the mortality between the two groups (t =0.534,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Compared with A/C,SIMV + PSV + TTV can improve the oxygenation status more quickly,and decrease the incidences of air leak syndrome and VAP in neonates with severe RDS.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the mass scores of naringin and neohesperidin in Fructus aurantii and Citrus chang-shan-huyou with their processed products and evaluate the quality of Fructus aurantii and Citrus changshan-huyou with their pro-cessed products. METHODS:According to the requirements of Chinese Pharmacopoeia(2010 edition)and Zhejiang Province Tradi-tional Chinese Medicine Preparation Standards (2005 edition),the moisture and ash of F. aurantii and C. changshan-huyou with their processed products were detected. And the contents of naringin and neohesperidin were determined. The ZORBAX SB-C18 column was used with the mobile phase of acetonitrile-water(20∶80,V/V)at the flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. The detection wave-length was set at 283 nm,and the column temperature was 40℃.The samples size was 10μl. RESULTS:The moisture of F. au-rantii and C. changshan-huyou was decreased after processing with no obvious change for ash. The contents of naringin and neohes-peridin were decreased,significantly for F. aurantii,and all consistent with the requirements of Chinese Pharmacopoeia(2010 edi-tion)except F. aurantii. The linear range was 0.028 45-0.284 5μg(r=0.999 7)for naringin and 0.085 9-0.858 6μg(r=0.999 6)for neohesperidin;the RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were no more than 1.36% and the average recovery was re-spectively 96.45%-100.43%(RSD=1.45%,n=6) and 98.36%-102.00%(RSD=1.26%,n=6). CONCLUSIONS: There was no significant difference in the inspection and determination re-sults in F. aurantii and C. changshan-huyou. It is suggested to adjust the limitation of content determination in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia(2010 edition)and processed standards.

Objective To understand the incidence characteristics and epidemic tendency of notifiable infectious diseases （NID） among children aged 0 to 6 years old in Hudong Community of Shanghai from 2011 to 2018， in order to provide a scientific basis for the accurate prevention and control measures. Methods Descriptive epidemiology was used to analyze the data of NID. Results A total of 1 401 cases of eight different NID were reported in children aged 0 to 6 from 2011 to 2018 in Hudong Community， with an average annual incidence rate of3 536.63/10⁵， and there were no dead cases. The incidence rates of different years were statistically significant （P<0.001）. The top five diseases were hand， foot and mouth disease （HFMD）， chickenpox， mumps， influenza and scarlet fever， which accounted for 97.79% of all cases. The incidence of intestinal infectious diseases peaked during the months of May to September and November， and that of respiratory infectious diseases peaked from April to June and from November to January. The average incidence rate of males was 4 118.81/10⁵， and that of females was 2 930.87/10⁵. The gender ratio （male︰female） was 1.41∶1， with statistical significance （P<0.001）. The intestinal infectious diseases mainly occurred in children aged one to four years old， accounting for 79.09%， and the respiratory infectious diseases mainly occurred in children aged four to six years old， accounting for 63.46%. The incidence and spectrum of NID varied in different age groups. The main population affected was those children from kindergartens， which accounted for 55.46% of all cases. Conclusion Infectious diseases threatening the health of children aged 0~6 years old in Hudong Community are mainly intestinal infectious diseases， especially HFMD. The targeted prevention and control strategies should be carried out according to the epidemic features so as to prevent the occurrence of outbreaks and epidemics of infectious diseases.

AIM: To investigate the effects of phorbol ester (TPA) on the anti-tumor effect and renal toxicity of cisplatin (CP). METHODS: MTT assay was used to examine the effect of TPA on the proliferation inhibition of CP in A549 and SPC-A-1 lung cancer cells. Also the effect of TPA on acute toxicity of CP was observed by once injection of high dose CP through caudal vein; The tumor-bearing mice model was explored to investigate the effect of TPA on tumor inhibition ratio and renal toxicity of CP in vivo. And the effect of TPA on renal oxidative stress induced by CP was detected. RESULTS: 1 ng/mL TPA could significantly enhance the inhibitory effect of CP on cell proliferation. In acute toxicity test, TPA could significantly reduce the toxicity of CP and prolong the survival time of animals. And the tumor weight (P<0.05), serum creatinine (P<0.05) and urea nitrogen levels (P<0.01) in TPA combined with CP group were significantly lower than those in CP group. Meanwhile, the results of HE staining showed that the renal tissue damage was significantly reduced in the combined group compared with CP group. The contents of MDA in renal tissue were decreased (P<0.01). However, the contents of GSH and the activity of SOD were increased (P<0.05) in TPA and CP combined group. CONCLUSION: TPA can enhance the inhibitory effect of CP on cell proliferation and inhibit tumor growth in tumor-bearing mice. At the same time, TPA can reduce the renal toxicity of CP, which may be related to the inhibition of renal oxidative stress induced by CP.
