Objective To investigate the relationship between resting heart rate (RHR) and target organs damage (TOD) in senile metabolic syndrome(SMS). Methods With case-control study,215 elderly patients with MS were divided into 3 groups according to the level of RHR [RHR1 group: RHR <70 beats/ minute (bpm) (n=55);RHR2group: 70 bpm ≤RHR<80 bpm [n=87);RHR3 group: RHR≥80 bpm (n=73).Mean-while ,60 healthy senile persons were taken as normal control group. For all objects researched, electrocardiography, echocardiography,carotid ultrasonography, creatinine clearance rate (Ccr) and quantitative assay for 24 hours' urina-ry microalbuminuria (MAU) were performed. Part of SMS patients was examined by coronary angiography and com-puter tomography (CT) of head. Results ① Compared with normal control group, RHR groups showed higher lev-els of carotid intima-medial thickness (IMT), carotid arterial diameter (CAD), left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and MAU, lower levels of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and Ccr (P<0.05 or 0.01). With RHR increas-ing among RHR groups,IMT,CAD,LVMI,MAU and the score of coronary artery stenosis increased,and LVEF and Cer decreased (P<0.05 or 0.01). ② The levels of IMT, CAD, LVMI and MAU were positively correlated to RHR (r=0.34,0.25,0.62, and 0.57, respectively, P<0.05 or 0.01). However, the levels of LVEF and Ccr were nega-tively correlated to RHR (r=-0.60,-0.52 respectively,P<0.01). ③ Logistic multivariate analysis showed that RHR, pulse pressure (PP), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) influenced TOD,such as myocardial hypertrophy,coronary heart disease,heart failure, cerebral stroke and renal damage in dif-ferent degrees, among them, PP and RHR played more important roles than those of other factors. Conclusion RHR may be an independent risk factors of TOD in senile MS. It is indicated that RHR regulation is important for the de-velopment of senile MS.

Objective We discussed the influence of diary therapy for out-of-hospital rehabilitation of schizophrenia patients with first hospitalization. Methods Ninety schizophrenia patients with first hospitaliza-tion and who were during rehabilitation period were randomized into the intervention group and the control group with 45 cases in each group.The two groups both received systemic antipsychotics medication.The control group adopted general health education while the intervention group got diary therapy based upon general health education.The treatment effect was evaluated by medical and nursing staff with abundant experience using the self-medication compliance questionnaire,the brief psychiatric rating scale(BPRS)and social disability screening schedule(SDSS)at the first day,6th month and first year after intervention. Results The total score of BPRS,SDSS,medication compliance and relapse rate in the intervention group was statistically better than those of the control group. Conclusions Diary therapy could facilitate the recovery of racial function,improve the medica-tion compliance,reduce the relapse rate and increase life quality for schizophrenia patients.

Zang-fu syndrome differentiation from Huangdi Neijing, laid the theoretical foundation. Hua Tuo'S Zhongzhang Jing, Sun Simiao's Qianjin-Yaofang, Zhang Yuansu Yixue-Qiyuan and other ancient physicians enriched the Zang-fu theory.Zang-fu syndrome differentiation became systematic and widely used in clinical. This paper traced the source of the theory, explored the development of syndrome differentiation theory.

This article discussed the origin and development of the traditional Chinese medicine Shiyan processing, processing history and overview of modern researches. The book of the Summary of information on Chinese herbal medicine processing in all dynasties was consulted which 167 bookson the processing methods of ancient herbal medicine. The content of ancient Shiyan processing was summarized in order to provide standardization for further studies on the optimal processing method of Shiyan, and to ensure the quality of the pieces, and the clinical curative effect.

Objective To investigate the molecular mechanism of osteoclast differentiation induced by staphylococcal lipoteichoic acid (LTA-sa). Methods Raw264.7 cells were treated with LTA-sa in a concentration of 200 ng/mL for 0, 5, 10, 20, 40, 60 min and 0, 1, 2, 3 days respectively, and the proteins in signaling pathways associated with osteoclast differentiation were measured with western blot. In addition, Raw264.7 cells were treated with different concentrations of LTA-sa (100, 200 and 400 ng/mL) and PBS for 0, 1, 2, 3 days, the expression of TNF-α, IL-1α and IL-6 was detected with Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results (1)Western blot showed that, under stimulation of LTA-sa, IκB-α decreased at 5 min and 10 min, while the phosphorylation of nuclear factor κB increased at 10 min . In addition , NFATc1 increased in 2 and 3 days gradually. The above results were statistically analyzed, and the difference was significant in statistics (P < 0.001). (2)ELISA showed that the expression of IL-6 increased in 2 and 3 days along with the increasing concentration and prolonging stimulation time of LTA-sa. Data were statistically analyzed, the difference was significant in statistics (P < 0.001). Conclusion LTA-sa promotes osteoclast differentiation through the NF-κB signaling pathway and the secretion of IL-6.

Objective By analyzing the epidemic characteristics and related indicators of SARS (2003) and COVID-19(2020), to explore the reasons for the similarities and differences of the two epidemics, so as to provide reference for epidemic prevention and control. Methods The general situation, clinical classification, activity history, contact history, family members’ contact and incidence of the two infectious diseases in Guangzhou were collected and used to analyze the time characteristics, occupational characteristics, age characteristics and other key indicators of the two diseases, including the number of cases, composition ratio (%), mean, median, crude mortality, etc. Results A total of 1 072 cases of SARS (2003) were included in the study. 353 of which were severe cases with the incidence of 30.13%. 43 cases of death were reported with a mortality rate of 4.01%. The average age was 46 years old, and 26.31% of the cases were medical staff. The interval time between first report to continuous zero reports was 129 days. As to COVID-19 (2020), a total of 346 cases were included. 58 of which were severe cases with the incidence of 16.67%. One case of death was reported with a mortality rate of 0.29%. The average age was 38 years old, and no hospital infection among medical staff was reported. The interval time between first report to continuous zero reports was 35 days. Conclusions The prevention and control strategies for COVID-19 (2010) are more effective compared to that of SARS (2003), and the emergency response procedures are worth to be evaluated and summarized.

Objective To explore the perinatal risk factors of early onset thrombocytopenia (EOT) in full-term small for gestational age infants. Methods A 1:1 or 1:2 matched case control study was carried out. A total of 93 full-term small for gestational age infants with EOT were selected from April 2008 to July 2014 as the case group, and the non EOT full-term small for gestational age infants with the birth weight difference <250 g and the gestational age difference <3 days were selected as the control group. The clinical data during perinatal period and laboratory examination results after admission were collected retrospectively. And the differences between the two groups were compared. Results The incidence of intrauterine distress (41.9% vs. 25.8%, χ2=7.35, P=0.007), amniotic fluid contamination (39.8% vs. 27%, χ2=4.66, P=0.031), and early-onset sepsis (39.8% vs. 27%, χ2=4.66, P=0.031) were significantly higher in the case group than those in the control group. Conditional logistics regression analysis showed that intrauterine distress (β=0.60, OR=1.82, 95%CI=1.04~3.17, P=0.035) and early-onset sepsis (β=1.69, OR=5.44, 95%CI=1.11~26.76, P=0.037) were related to EOT. Conclusions Intrauterine distress and early-onset sepsis are risk factors for the onset of EOT in full-term small for gestational age infants.
