Objective To investigate changes and the clinical significance of serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D level in patients of Xinjiang Uygur and Han nationalities with mild cognitive impairment.Methods On the base of early stage of epidemiological survey of Xinjiang Uygur and Han population over 60 years old,adopting multi-stage stratified random cluster sampling method and referencing DSM-Ⅳ,206 cases of MCI patients (study group)were selected and 412 healthy elderly subjects (control) matching for age,nationality and gender were recruited for case-control study.The serum level of 25(OH) D was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results The serum level of 25(OH)D was significantly lower in MCI group of two nationalities (7.89±0.29 μg/L) than in normal control group [(8.65± 0.21) μg/ml,P＜0.05].The serum level of 25(OH)D was (8.41±0.34) μg/L in Han group,and (8.37±0.32)μg/L in Uygur group,with no significant difference (P＞0.05).The 25 (OH)D level was significantly lower in female[(8.23± 0.32) μg/L] than in male [(8.70±0.42) μg/L,P＜0.05].The serum level of 25(OH)D was lower in female MCI group [(7.56±0.34) μg/L] than in female control group [(8.41 ±0.31)μg/L],with significant difference (P＜0.05).While there was no significant difference between male MCI and male control group (P＞0.05).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the risk factors of MCI might include low serum 25 (OH) D levels (OR =1.163,95 ％ CI:0.978-1.447),a decreased physical labor (OR=1.420,95％ CI:1.10-1.860),low education degree (OR =1.504,95％ CI:1.129-2.130),celibacy (OR=1.293,95％CI:0.845-1.440),hypertension (OR=1.954,95％CI:1.342-2.670),diabetes (OR =1.320,95％ CI:1.145-1.710),smoking history (OR =1.350,95％ CI:1.101-2.293),high BMI (OR=1.329,95％CI:1.068-1.781).Conclusions The serum 25(OH)D level is lower in MCI patients in Xinjiang Uygur and Han populations than in normal people,but there is no significant difference.The 25 (OH)D deficiency is associated with increased odds for cognitive impairment in the elderly Xinjiang population,which is more obvious in the female.The occurrence and development of MCI is affected by multiple risk factors.

Objective To detect P0.1 and respiratory function of patients with cerebral infarction(CI)and analyze the effect of cerebral infarction on respiratory function. Methods Arterial blood gases, respiratory drive and lung function were measured in 35 cases with CI and 15 healthy controls. The figures were analyzed by SPSS 10.0. Results The PaO0.2 (mm Hg, 75.80±4.12, 1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa), SaO2(%,94.97±0.78) and Plmax(kPa,4.076±2.443) were lower than those in the healthy control group (88.68±3.77, 96.40±0.48 and 7.747±0.599,t=-8.310,-5.731,-5.439,all P=0.000). P0.1 max and P0.1/MV in the CI group were lower than those in the healthy control group;the P0.1 did not have significant difference in these two group; the P0.1/P0.1max and P0.1/Plmax in the CI group were significantly higher than those in the healthy control group; the PImax was correlated with PO2, O2sat, P(A-a) O2, P0.1max, P0.1, P0.1,/PImax, P0.1/P0.1max, FVC, FEV1.0 and PEF; the PEmax was correlated with P0.1/ PImax, FVC, FEV1.0 and PEF. Conclusion The respiratory function of patients with CI has been impaired, the oxygenated index is cut down and the respiratory drive and respiratory drive store are decreased.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the protective effect of soybean isoflavones (SI) on the heart function of the rats with adriamycin induced heart failure. METHODS: Thirty adult male SD rats were divided into 5 groups:normal control (NC) group, adriamycin (ADR) group, L-SI group, M-SI group and H-SI group. SI of 30, 60, 120 mg.kg(-1).d(-1) was orally administered through a stomach tube once a day for 6 days in L-SI group, M-SI group and H-SI group, respectively. The other two groups were given the same amount of normal saline the same way. Then ADR of 10 mg/kg was given intraperitoneally once to copy the model of heart-failure. The MedLab-U/4c biological signal collecting system was used to record and analyze the LVSP of the rats. The pathological changes of the cardiomyocytes were observed. RESULTS: As compared with NC group, the LVSP,+/-dp/dt max, Vpm of the ADR group were significantly lower (P<0.05 or P<0.01), but those of the H-SI group were markedly higher than those of the ADR group (P<0.01). Electron microscopic morphometry of the heart samples of the rats in ADR group revealed typical alterations, consisting an increase of collagen content, vacuolation, diminishing of the cardiomyocyte diameter, alteration of myofilaments and Z-lines of myofibers, and myofibrillar degeneration. SI of 120 mg.kg(-1).d(-1) treatment could prevent the loss of myofibrillae and the reduction of myocyte diameter, and the degeneration of myofilaments and Z-lines were reversed by SI. CONCLUSION: SI of 120 mg.kg(-1).d(-1) treatment can relieve the toxic effect of ADR on myocardium, and also obviously improve the cardiac contractility of heart-failure rats.

AIM: To study the pharmacokinetics of flavonoids in mice after ig administration of Xiexin Decoction (Radix et Rhizoma rhei, Rhizoma coptidis, Radix Scutellariae). METHODS: Mice were given a single ig dose of Xiexin Decoction 4.5, 9.0 or 18.0 g/kg. Flavonoids in plasma were analysed by HPLC and plasma concentration of baibalin was determined. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated from the plasma concentration-time data with the DAS software package. RESULTS: After ig administration of Xiexin Decoction in mice, baicalin, baicalein and another flavonoid were detected in plasma and baicalin concentration was the highest of the three kinds of flavonoids in plasma. After a single ig dose of Xiexin Decoction 4.5, 9.0 or 18.0 g/kg, the pharmacokinetic parameters of baicalin were as follows:T_ 1/2 =2.77、5.69、6.20 h,AUC_ 0-∞ =9.09、23.49、39.57 ?g?h/mL,CL= 12.52 、 6.962 、 11.50 L?h/kg,V_d= 50.11 、 79.56 、 102.95 L/kg,C_ max1 =1.89、3.32、4.79 ?g/mL(T_ p1 = 0.08 h ), C_ max2 =1.46、2.57、4.16 ?g/mL(T_ p2 =3 h), respectively. CONCLUSION: Three kinds of flavonoids can be absorbed after ig administration of Xiexin Decoction in mice, of which baicalin is the major component.

Objective To discuss the clinical characteristics for central compartment lymph node metastasis in stage cNO papillary thyroid microcarcinoma and significance and feasibility of preventive dissection,aimed to provide reference for clinical treatment.Methods Reviewed the clinical data of 277 patients with stage cNO papillary thyroid microcarcinoma from Jul.2011 to Dec.2015 underwent surgery in the Department of General Surgery of Lianyungang East Hospital.Evaluated the necessity of prophylactic central lymph node dissection.Adopted chi square test and Logistic regression to analyze its relationship with patients' gender,age,tumor number,tumor size,enveloped infiltration,single and bilateral tumor.All 277 patients underwent primary radical resection with ipsilateral central lymph node dissection.The specimen of resection was analyzed by routine pathology.Results The positive rate of thyroid papillary microcarcinoma lymph node metastasis was 36.8 ％ (102/277).The elements of male patients (P =0.023),age ＜ 45 years (P ＜ 0.001) and tumor diameter ＞ 0.5 cm (P =0.019)had high positive rate.The multivariable analysis showed that male patients (OR =2.63,P ＜ 0.001),age ＜ 45 years (OR =2.25,P =0.016),tumor diameter ＞ 0.5 c m (OR =2.13,P =O.009) were independent risk factors for CLN metastasis.Forty-three (15.5％) cases had transient parathyroid function.No Permanent recurrent nerve paralysis and hyperparathyroidism occurred in this group.Conclusions Prophylactic central lymph node dissection is helpful for accurate staging of tumor classification and risk assessment,has important significance,on the follow-up of patients after treatment of choice.For male patients,age ＜ 45,tumor diameter ＞ 0.5 cm,enveloped infiltration,the central compartment lymph node dissection may be necessary.

60 Gy.The 5-year local control rates are 92%,71% and 87% respectively(P=0.9194),and 5-year overall survival rate are 68%,62% and 53% respectively(P=0.4194).There is no significant difference of overall survival and local control rate between these three dose groups.Five patients with dose of more than 50Gy died of late toxicities.Conclusions:Adjuvant radiotherapy for Stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ patients with rectal cancer dose not show dose response.There is no improvement of local control and survival due to the escalation of dose.The dose of conventional radiotherapy is better at less than 50Gy.Overdosage may lead to severe toxicities.

Objective To analyze the clinical data of recipients over 15 years after renal transplantation,and to find the factors that affect the long-term survival of recipients after renal transplantation.Method Before June 30,2000,326 renal transplant recipients in our hospital were collected retrospectively.The risk factors which affect the survival of kidney transplant recipients and kidney were analyzed from four dimensions.A Cox model was established to analyze these multi factors.Result Cox hazard model indicated that advanced age (P=0.010,RR =1.052),AMR (P＜0.001,RR =18.311),nonadherence (P =0.001,RR =2.854),smoking (P =0.025,RR =2.097)were the risk factors for recipients' survival.Using immunosuppressive regimen FK506 + MMF+ Pred (P =0.019,RR =0.433),or CsA + MMF + Pred (P =0.019,RR =0.413) was the protective factor for recipients' survival.Nonadherence (P＜0.001,RR =5.645),and diabetes (P＜0.001,RR =3.310) were the risk factors of grafts' survival.Using immunosuppressive regimen FK506 + MMF + Pred (P＜0.001,RR =0.236),or CsA + MMF + Pred (P =0.002,RR =0.317) was the protective factor of grafts' survival.Conclusion To enhance the long-term outcome of recipients and grafts,the individualization of immunosuppressive regiments and controlling of the chronic diseases progress by changing the unhealthy life style are cutting on edge.

[Objective] To construct a database for the genetic polymorphism of 18 STR loci (D8S1179, D21S11, D7S820, CSFIPO, D3S1358, TH01, D13S317, D16S539, D2S1338, D19S433, VWA, TPOX, D18S51, D5S818, FGA, PentaE, PentaD, SE33) in Hart population from Zhejiang province. To investigate the application of 18 STR loci in the field of paternity testing and prenatal diagnosis. [Methods] Fluorescent dye labeling multiplex STR-PCR, capillary electrophoresis and DNA sequencer GeneScan were adopted in genotyping 598 unrelated samples collected from Han population in Zhejiang province. 18-STR database was established and analyzed. Population comparison was conducted between Han population in Zhejiang province and 8 other population. 15-STR and 18-STR identification system were compared in 497 paternity testing cases. [Results] We observed the distribution of 18 STR loci in Han population meet Hardy-Weinberge equilibrium and was different from other 8 population (X~2 test, P>0.05). Statistical results showed that the heterozygosis (He) ranged from 0.630 to 0.942. The combined power of discrimination was>0.9999999999. Compared with 15-STR identification system, higher paternity index scores and higher exclusion rate were obtained with 18-STR identification system in dual-case paternity test and mutation identification. One trisomy 21 fetus was found in a prenatal paternity test case which had two characteristic genotypes in 2 STR loci of D21S11 and Penta D. [Conclusions] The 18 loci were relatively highly genetic polymorphic in Zhejiang Han population and could be used for paternity testing. Some STR loci could be used in prenatal diagnosis for aneuploidy.

Objective To investigate the expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4),and explore its relationship with neurological function after fluid percussion brain injury in rats.Methods 56 adult rats were randomly divided into traumatic brain injury group(TBI group,n=48) and sham operation group(SO group,n=8).The experimental models were established.The water content of edematous brain and the expression of TLR4 were measured with dry-wet measure,immunohistochemistry and Western Blot at 1 h,6 h,12 h,24 h,3 d,7 d after shock respectively.Results Compared with SO group,neuronal function score decreased in TBI group from 6 h(3.86±0.42),reached to the lowest level at 24 h(2.65±0.32),and gradually rose at 3rd day (3.25±0.17).TLR4 immunoreactive expression increased from 6 h,reached its maxmum at 24 h,lasted to 3rd day,and then began to drop at 7th day.The linear regression analysis indicated that expression of TLR4 had negative correlation with change of neuronal function score (r 1 =-0.824,r w =-0.867,P＜0.05).Conclusion TLR4 expression is upregulated following fluid percussion injury in rats and involved in neurological function impairment by inducing secondary inflammatory brain injury.
