Chinese Circulation Journal 2014;(10):796-799
Objective: To evaluate the effect of standard management for hypertension in community population of Suzhou city. Methods: We conducted a prospective study of standard management for hypertension in community population of Suzhou city. The project included 3 groups: Standard group, the patients received standardized management,n=81 711, Control group, the patients received general management, n=38 944, and No-management group,n=1 644 249. The incidence rate of stroke and coronary artery disease (CAD) were compared among different groups according to 2010 chronic disease report of Suzhou city. Results: Compared with initial condition, the final average blood pressure drop in Standard group was (13.78/7.06) mmHg, which was better than that in Control group, X2=1852.91,P<0.01. The incidence rate of stroke in Standard group, Control group and No-management group were 1.72%, 2.41% and 3.59%, the incidence rate of CAD were 0.43%, 0.66% and 1.29% respectively. Conclusion: Standard management for hypertension was better than general management for preventing and controlling the incidence of stroke and CAD in community population.

Objective To select suitable media for increasing isolation rate of haemophilus.Methods Haemophilus was inoculated on seven types of media.The average growth index(GI) of Haemophilus was calculated and Haemophilus was isolated from 325 specimens of the respiratory tract and its isolation rate was compared with that media of brchoc and brchoc-V agare.Results The GI of media with 2% fresh yeast infusion and 50% of meat infusion was higher than that of those with no yeast and meat infusion.The GI of Haemophilus on BRchoc was higher than that of the BSchoc(P<0.001).The isolation rate of Haemophilus from 325 respiratory tract specimens on BRchoc-V was 77.2%,which was significantly higher than that on the medium BRchoc (32.0%).Conclusions BRchoc-V is a better medium for isolation of Haemophilus.This medium is effective to improve the isolation rate of Haemophilus.

Objectives To evaluate mini/VITAL and BacT/Alert, two fully automated blood culture systems. Methods Standard mini/VITAL AER and ANA bottles (bioM′erieux, Marcy 1′Etoile, France) and BacT/Alert FAN aerobic and FAN anerobic bottles (organon Netherlands) were used. The bottles were analysed over a period of 7 days. A total of 600 samples of blood, 108 samples of body fluid, and 100 strains of imitation were detected by mini/VITAL and BacT/Alert parallelly. The bottles of flagged positive were smeared and Gram stained before being examined under a microscope. Subcultures were performed in parallel on fresh blood agar and chocolate agar incubated in microaerophilic Conditions with 5% CO 2. All the bottles flagged negative were examined in the same conditions as the positive bottles. Results mini/VITAL: The positive rate for aerobic and anaerobic blood cultures was 10% and 5% respectively, for aerobic body fluid culture was 26 9%. No contaminants were detected. 0.5% false positive and 0.8% false negative were detected. 90% of positive sample were detected in 48 h. The shortest time of report of positive bottles was 1.5 h for blood culture. BacT/Alert: The rate of positive of aerobic and anaerobic blood culture was 9.8% and 5% respectively. The positive rate of body fluid culturs was 26.9%. There were used 3 bottles contaminated. The false positive and false negative rate were 0.5% and 0 98% respective. 95.5% of positive bottles were detected in 48 h. The shortest time of flagged positive was 2.5 h. Conclusion mini/VITAL and BacT/Alert were accurate automated blood culture systems for the detection of bacteremia. There was no significant difference on the speed of detection between BacT/Alert FAN bottles and mini/VITAL standard bottles.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the variation of in vitro activity,the ?-lactamases,type diversity and the homology of multiple resistances in Acinetobacter isolated.METHODS The multiple resistant Acinetobacter were selected to detect susceptibility test by K-B antimicrobial agents.The resistant rates were analyzed by WHONET 5.4,the isolates ?-lactamases phenotype was detected by three-dimensional test,genomic types were measured by PFGE.The ?-lactamases genotype was determined by PCR assay with specific-primer,and DNA sequencing was also used to analyze resistance-related gene.RESULTS Twenty-eight of 45 strains were OXA producing strains(68.3%),10 strains were IMP producing strains(24.4%),13 strains were TEM producing strains(31.7%),18 strains were CTX-M producing strains(43.9%),6 strains were PER producing strains(14.6%),and 7 strains were AmpC producing strains(17.1%).None produced SHV ?-lactamases.Twenty-four strains were produced 2 or more than 2 kinds of ?-lactamases.CONCLUSIONS The multiple resistance of Acinetobacter can produce kinds of ?-lactamases,but producing ?-lactamases are not the only one mechanism.

Obiective To develop a new medical image processing platform based on ITK and OpenGL. Methods This platform was designed by VC ++ 6.0 and MFC class library. ITK class library was wsed to fulfill reading, writing,segmentation of images and iso-surface extraction. OpenGL was wsed to realize 3D surface rendering. Results The new 3D-medical imaging reconstruction system was designed. Conclusion This system not only can provide graphic interface which can not be realized by using ITK class library, but also enhance the ability of three-dimension visualization by using OpenGL.

AIM: To investigate the effects of Lobelia Chinensis Lour alkaloid (LCLA) on the proliferation of cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) induced by ET-1. METHODS: Human umbilical artery VSMC was cultured and divided into five groups: ET group, ET+LCLA group, ET+BQ-123 group,ET+ staurosporine (ST) group and control group. The cell proliferation activity was subsequently quantified by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and [3H]-TdR incorporation. Flow cytometry was used to examine cell cycle. Quantitative immunohistochemical technique was used to investigate the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and confocal microscope was used to measure the fluorescent intensity of Ca 2+. Cytotoxicity was measured by Trypan blue exclusion and LDH colorimetry tests. RESULTS: BQ-123 (10 -6mol/L), ST (10 -7mol/L) and LCLA (100, 200 and 400 mg/L) inhibited the increase in cell number, [3H]-TdR incorporation, the percentage of the S phase and markedly decreased the expression of PCNA and fluorescent intensity of Ca 2+ in response to ET-1 of VSMC (P
