Objective To investigate the effects and the safety of different dose of simvastatin on aged patients with hyperlipidemia.Method The 70 patients were divided into two groups at random. 40 in group A was given orally simvastatin 20 mg/d, and 30 patients in group B was given orally simvastatin 40 mg/d,respectively; The levels serum total cholesterol(TCH), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) and triglyceride(TG) were measured following the 4th week, the 8th week and the 12th week . And the changes of the functions of the patients'liver and kidney, the serum glucose level and the activities of myocardial enzymes in the two groups before and after the simbastatin treatment were also observed. Results In the 4th , 8th and 12th week at the treatment with simvastatin 20mg/d, the patients' TCH levels were decreased by 32 1%,32 1%,36 0% respectively;the TG levels were decreased by 35 1%,49 6%,52 9% respectively;the LDL levels were decreased by 39 3%,37 3%,35 2% respectively;and the HDL-C levels were increased by 2 0%,0 8%,8 3%, respectively. While in the 4th, 8th and 12th week at the treatment of simvastatin 40mg/d,the patients' TCH levels were decreased by 41 8%,48 0%,51 0%, TG levels were decreased by 18 4%,32 3%,38 4%, the LDL levels were decreased by 42 4%,47 5%,50 8%, and the HDL-C levels were increased by 1 0%,2 0%,13 0% respectively. There were no obviously changes of the results of the tests of the liver function,the kidney function,the blood glucose level and the myocardial enzymes before and after both treatment groups in the different dose of the simvastain. Conclusion The effects and the safety of the treatments of simvastatin on aged patients with hyperlipidemia were similar at the dose of 20mg/d and the dose of 40mg/d.

Objective To explore drug abuse prevention measures by surveying the changes before and after methadone maintenance treatment(MMT). Methods The baseline survey data were obtained from patients who participated in the MTT program for the first time at Wuhan First Health Clinic of Mental Health Center Affiliated to Tongji Medical College between March 2006 and December 2013,and the general conditions of these patients were analyzed. Results There were 1 186 drug abusers, with a male and low education(junior high school and below)dominance. After the initiation of the MMT program,the number of addicted people was highest in 2008,and then gradually decreased after 2009.MMT program achieved obvious social benefits.The proportion of injectable drug use alone was decreased and the rates of oral drug use and snorting were increased over time.Fixed salary and temporary salary were obviously increased in drug abusers after 2009. Daily drug cost was decreased over time. The proportion of community/ media propaganda through which people got to know MMT remained low. Conclusion The community support and educational propaganda should be strengthened at the same time when MMT is carried out.

Objective To investigate the relationship between autophagy in spinal dorsal horn and development of morphine tolerance in rats.Methods Twenty-four healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,in which intrathecal (IT) catheters were successfully placed,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =8 each):control group (group C),morphine tolerance group (group M) and morphine + rapamycin as a reinforcing agent for autophagy group (group MR).Morphine tolerance was induced with IT morphine 20 μg twice a day for 7 consecutive days.While the equal volume of normal saline was given in group C.In addition,rapamycin 2.3μg was injected intrathecally at the second injection of morphine on 3rd day lasting for 3 consecutive days in group MR.Mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT) to yon Frey filament stimulation was measured before IT injection and 30 min after the second IT injection on 1st,3rd,5th and 7th days.The rats were sacrificed 1 h after the last MWT measurement and the L4-6 segment of the spinal cord was removed for determination of the total mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and phosphorylated mTOR(p-mTOR) and autophagy marker protein LC3 Ⅱ expression in spinal dorsal horn by Western blot.The percentage of p-mTOR expression in total mTOR expression was considered as reflection of the activity.Results MWT was gradually decreased with the prolongation of time of IT injection (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group C,MWT was significantly increased during IT injection,mTOR activity was decreased and LC3 Ⅱ expression was up-regulated in groups M and MR (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group M,MWT was significandy increased on 3rd,5th and 7th days after IT injection,mTOR activity was decreased and LC3 Ⅱ expression was up-regulated in group MR (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Increased autophagy in spinal dorsal horn is the regulatory mechanism of the body during the development of morphine tolerance in rats and can delay the development of morphine tolerance.

After the necessity to compile n the union catalog of minority nationality medical documents in Yunnan Province was analyzed according to the scattered collection of minority nationality medical information resources and no available standard minority nationality medical documents catalog, how to compile it was discussed from the aspects of the collection and catalog organization of literature information resources, and quality control of bibliographic data, in order to construct the support system for minority nationality medical information resources.

Objective To explore the feasibility of C14-urea breath test in the diagnosis of child chronic cough.Methods One hundred and twenty children cases of chronic cough were collected as the research subjects and divided into the C14 group(adopting C14-urea breath test for diagnosis) and combined group(C14-urea breath test combined with routine diagnostic method) according to different diagnostic means,60 in each group.Then the positive diagnostic rate and effectiveness were analyzed and compared between the two diagnostic methods.Furthermore the ROC curve was adopted to evaluate its diagnostic value.Results The positive diagnosis rate in the C14 group was 76.67%,which was significantly lower than 95.00% in combined groups,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001).The sensitivity and positive predictive value in the combined group were obviously higher than those in the C14 group (P<0.01),but there were no statistically significant differences in specificity and negative predictive value between the two methods (P>0.05).The expression levels of serum hs-CRP and IL-6 in the C14 group were significantly higher than those in the combined group,but the expression level of IL-10 was obviously lower than that of the combined group (P<0.05).The AUC in the ROC curve of combined group was significantly higher than that of the C14 group(P<0.05).Conclusion The C14-urea breath test can serve as a supplementary diagnosis means in child chronic cough,and its combining with the routine diagnosis method can significantly increase the diagnosis effectiveness.
