Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics, management and prognosis of gestational trophoblastic disease in women aged 50 years or more. Methods Thirty-eight cases of gestational trophoblastic disease in women aged 50 years or more, who were treated in Peking Union Medical College Hospital between 1992 and 2002, were reviewed retrospectively. Results The median age was 52 years (range from 50 to 58 years ). The lesions included 5 hydatidiform moles (13%), 19 invasive moles (50%), 12 choriocarcinomas (32%) and 2 placenta site trophoblastic tumors (5%). All of 38 cases presented with abnormal vaginal bleeding. Twenty-three cases of hydatidiform moles were diagnosed at their first visit to the hospital, and 15 of them received prophylactic chemotherapy, of whom 10 progressed to invasive mole, 3 developed lung metastasis. All of the other 8 cases without prophylactic chemotherapy progressed to malignant changes with metastasis of lung. The use of prophylactic chemotherapy reduced the incidence of subsequent metastasis. All of 38 cases received chemotherapy. Thirty-two cases underwent hysterectomy, complete remission was achieved in 91% of patients; complete remission was achieved in 2 of 6 patients without hysterectomy. Conclusions The diagnosis of pregnancy and pregnancy-related disease should be considered in the elderly women presenting with abnormal vaginal bleeding. Once gestational trophoblastic disease in women aged 50 years or more is diagnosed, chemotherapy should be given as soon as possible. Hysterectomy is frequently required to improve the prognosis of gestational trophoblastic disease in the elderly women.

Diabetic nephropathy is a complication of diabete and its incidence is increasing obviously these years. The pathogenic mechanisms of DN are complex, with multiple factors involved such as the glycometabolism disorders , hemodynamic changes, aldose reductase pathway activation, alterations in cytokines, oxidative stress, protein kinase C activation, lipid metabolism disorders and genetic susceptibility etc, which are not completely clear yet. Thus, the research progress of DN pathogenesis is to be reviewed.

Objective To investigate the clinical, histopathological and immunopathological charac teristics of erythema annulare centrifugum (EAC). Methods A retrospective study was performed on 54 cases of EAC collected from 2001 to 2005. Information was gathered about patients' sex, age, disease course, distribution and morphology of eruptions, symptoms, complications. Also, the findings of histopathology and direct immunofluorescence examination in some patients were evaluated. Remits EAC most commonly occurred on the lower limb, and was usually complicated by various diseases among which mycosis predominated. Histological examination revealed compact lymphocyte infiltration in dermal vessels in 32 of these 54 patients. Direct immunofluorescence showed the deposition of IgG, lgM, or C3 on the walls of small vessels in 6 of 12 tissue samples tested. Conclusions EAC is a multifactorial disease, and it seems that the infiltration of lymphocytes and deposition of circulatory immune complex on small blood vessels in dermis may play important roles in its pathogenesis.

Objective To investigate in knowledge rate of 120 first aid and satisfaction rate with emergency services among Nanchong citizens. Methods 360 patients who received prehospital first aid from three hospitals and their accompanies were selected from January to June 2010. The investigation content included knowledge rate of 120 first aid and satisfaction rate with emergency services. Results Results showed that about half of those surveyed still did not know the emergency phone"120" and its function, lacked self-help and self-protection knowledge, some respondents felt quite helpless upon daily life of electric shock, gas poisoning, coma and traumatic accidents. The attitude of the majority of emergency personnel was good or better, but still very stiff or irresponsible attitude existed in those few. This undermined the "120" and the image of credibility and emergency personnel. Conclusions There is an urgent need for universal coverage of on-site first aid knowledge and enhance awareness of first aid. Full-time staff in emergency department must pay close attention to the knowledge of first aid training, mastering the technique of bleeding control and bandaging, fixing, handling and CPR, as well as the use of instruments and equipment equipped in vehicles. Only in this way can we continuously improve the treatment of critically ill patients and increase survival rate.

Objective To investigate the effect of blood glucose levels on lipid-lowering therapy in patients with myocardial infraction (MI).Methods The data of 174 patients with acute or old MI and finished a two-year follow-up were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into four groups: diabetes mellitus (DM) with well blood glucose control (DM+W group), diabetes mellitus with bad blood glucose control (DM+B group), non-diabetes mellitus with well blood glucose control (NDM+W group) and non-diabetes mellitus with bad blood glucose control (NDM+B group). Blood lipids levels, dose and side effects of statins were statistically analyzed.Results All the 174 patients had a mean follow-up period of 28±7 months, and 51 patients (25.9%) had diabetes mellitus. In DM+B group (n=13, 25.5%) and NDM+B group (n=24, 19.5%), there were no statistically difference between enrollment and 2-year follow-up in the mean levels of blood total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), but the mean level of LDL-c had a trend of elevation. In DM+W group, the mean level of LDL-c was 2.57 mmol/L at 2-year follow-up, which did not achieve the recommended LDL-c goal (2.06 mmol/L). There were no differences in statin therapy between each group. After 2-year follow-up, there were only 93 patients (53.4%) received normal dose of statin, 60 patients (34.5%) took low dose of statin and 16 patients (9.2%) had no statin therapy. There were no differences in hepatic enzyme abnormality between each group.Conclusion The bad control of blood glucose in patients with MI effect the efficacy of statins in lipid-lowering therapy. The doses of statin are insufficient especial in patients with MI and DM.
