BACKGROUND: Medical order-obeying behavior(MOOB) in patients with essential hypertension(EH) cau directly affect the progression and prognosis of the disease. What factors, in turn, affect MOOB?OBJECTIVE:To analyze factors affecting MOOB in EH patients.DESIGN: Cross-sectional study.SETTING: Foreign Guests Ward of Qindu Stomatological Hospital, Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: A total of 205 patients with EH were admitted into the Foreign Guests Ward of Qindu Stomatological Hospital, Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from January 1998 to August 2000. Inclusion criteria: In accordance with WHO diagnostic criteria for hypertension. Exclusion criteria: Diabetes and other cardiovascular diseases. Altogether 164 patients with the mean age of (51 ± 5) years, 122 men and 42 women , accorded to the inclusion criteria.METHODS: The 164 patients were investigated with the self-designed questionnaire concerning MOOB in EH patients; patients' sex, educational level, family economic conditions, disease duration and other factors affecting MOOB were observed.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Factors related to the patients' MOOB.RESULTS:53.0% (87/164) patients followed the medical orders and persisted in exercise therapy, 58.5 % ( 96 / 164 ) patients followed reasonable diet, 51.6% (32/164)patients quitted smoking and alcohol drinking, 82. 3% (135/164) received regular recheck-up, 64.6% (106/164) followed the medicinal treatment prescribed. Sex did not influence MOOB significantly. The rate of medical-order disobedience was higher in illiterate people and those with education below junior middle school level, but lower in those with education above senior middle school level(x2 =7.25, P < 0.01) . The disobedience rate was lower in patients with the mean income of > 500 yuan/month than in those with < 500 yuan/month(x2 = 39.4, P < 0.01),and was also lower in patients with disease duration < 1 year than those with disease duration > 1 year (x2 =5.66, P < 0.05).CONCLUSION; Medical order-obeying behavior in EH patients is poor, and it is significantly influenced by patients' educational level, family economic conditions and disease duration.

Objective To explore the relationship between the expression of Dishevelled2 and Vangl2 proteins and the development of mouse palate. Methods Twenty-four pregnant mice were randomly divided into eight groups, and the mouse embryos were obtained at eight clock of the pregnant day of thirteen(p13d8h), p13d14h,p13d22h,p14d8h,p14d14h,p14d22h,p15d8h and p15d22h respectively, then paraffin sections were made conventionally.The distrubution and dynamic changes of Dishevelled2 and Vangl2 proteins in the embryonic palatal shelves were detected by immunohistochemistry and image analysis. Results It was found that the two kinds of proteins expressed in the epithelium and mesenchyma of the mouse palatal shelves at different development stages. The expression levels of the Dishevelled2,in both of the epithelium and mesenchyme of the palatal shelves, increased first (p13d8h-p13d22h),then decreased rapidly(p13d22h-p14d14h), and then increased again(p14d14h-p15d22h). The expression of Vangl2 protein in the mesenchyma showed a similar trend to that of the Dishevelled2, but there was no obvious regularity in the epithelium. In addition, the expressive levels of both kinds of proteins in the epithelium were significantly higher than those in mesenchyma of the palatal shelves. Conclusion Dishevelled2 and Vangl2 proteins might directly or indirectly take part in the regulation process of mouse palate morphogenesis.

ObjectiveTo assess the clinical value of minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion(TLIF) through the Wiltse approach for the treatment of lumbar spondylolisthesis. Methods Sixty-nine patients with lumbar spondylolisthesis were randomly divided into two groups. Group A underwent minimally invasive TLIF via the Wiltse approach, Group B via the traditional approach. There were 31 cases in group A, the affected level was L4.5 in 19 cases and L5S1 in 12. The degree of vertebrae slippage was Ⅰ degree in 17 cases,and Ⅱ degree in 14. There were 38 cases in group B, the affected level was L4,5 in 22 cases and L5S1 in 16. The degree of vertebrae slippage was Ⅰ in 21 cases, and Ⅱ in 17. The Japanese Orthopaedics Association (JOA) score, visual analogue scale (VAS) of low back pain and leg pain were evaluated at 3, 6, and 12 months follow-up. The post-operative dynamic X-rays, CT and/or MRI were used for image evaluation. ResultsThere was no statistically difference in operating time between the two groups. The incision length, blood loss and exposing time of group A were shorter than those of group B. The JOA scores, recovery rate, VAS of low back pain and leg pain, interbody fusion rate and atrophy rate of multifidus in group A were 24.7±3.5, 77.0%±3.1%, 1.0±0.7, 1.1±0.3, 71.0%±5.8%, 2.1±0.2, respectively, and in group B were 24.3±2.8, 73.6%±6.4%, 3.1±0.6, 1.8±0.5, 76.3%±6.1%, 0.5±0.1, respectively. The VAS of low back pain was lower in group A than in group B. The atrophy rate was better in group A than in group B. Conclusion Both TLIF approaches can acquire satisfactory clinical results. Minimally invasive TLIF through the Wiltse approach can significantly reduced damage of multifidus and incidence of chronic low back pain postoperative.
