Objective To evaluate the epidemic status of main non-communicable chronic diseases among the residents of Jingan district in Shanghai.Methods Multistage cluster sampling was adopted.960 residents were investigated with questionnaire and physical examination.Results The prevalence rates of Hypertension,diabetes mellitus,Cerebral vessels and Heart-blood were 25.6%,5.8%,3.1%and 5.7%,respectively.The multivarate logistic regression analysis showed that the related risk factors to four non-communicable chronic diseases included family history,the OR(95%CI)1.6(1.2～2.3),6.9 (3.5～13.6),4.5(2.0～10.0),2.2(1.2～4.0)separately.Conclusion Hypertension,diabetes are the main non-communicable disease hazarding the public health.The government and professional institutes should raise the attention on this serious problem and finance more as well as supplying policy support.

Objective: To observe the expression of angiotensin II ( Ang II) and its receptors in a rat model of chronic cyclosporine (CsA) nephrotoxicity. Methods: Chronic CsA nephrotoxicity was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats by administering CsA (15 mg/kg s. c.) for 4 weeks. The body weight, systolic blood pressure, serum CsA, serum creatinine (Cr), and creatinine clearance rate (Ccr) of rats were examined in each group. Trichrome staining was used to observe the tubulointerstitial fibrosis; expressions of Ang II and its receptors (AT1 and AT2) were examined by immunohistochemical staining and Western blotting analysis. Results: Compared with the control rats, CsA-treated rats showed decreased body weight, increased Cr, decreased Ccr and tubulointerstitial fibrosis (P < 0.01). Immunohistochemistry revealed that the immunoreactivity of Ang II was significantly increased in the CsA-treated rats (47±7 vs 13±4, P < 0.01), with the immunoreactivity mainly locating to the juxtaglomerular afferent arterioles, and the immunoreactivity was significantly correlated with tubulointerstitial fibrosis (r=0. 769, P<0.001). Western blotting analysis showed significantly decreased AT1 expression ([114±14]% vs [42±6]%, P<0.01) and increased AT2 expression ([129±23]% vs [469±43]%, P<0.01). Conclusion: The findings of our study suggest that the intrarenal renin-angiotensin system is activated during chronic CsA nephrotoxicity, which is manifested by increased Ang II immunoreactivity, and this increased immunoreactivity is closely related to tubulointerstitial fibrosis.

One of the causes of the high cost of pharmaceuticals and the major obstacles to rapidly assessing the bioavailability and risk of a chemical is the lack of experimental model systems. A new pre-treatment technology, in vitro bionic digestion was designed for metal analysis in Lianhua Qingwen capsule. The capsule was digested on 37 degrees C under the acidity of the stomach or intestine, and with the inorganic and organic compounds (including digestive enzymes) found in the stomach or intestine, and then the chyme was obtained. Being similar to the biomembrane between the gastrointestinal tract and blood vessels, monolayer liposome was used as biomembrane model Affinity-monolayer liposome metals (AMLMs) and water-soluble metals were used for metal speciation analysis in the capsule. Based on the concentration of AMLMs, the main absorption site of trace metals was proposed. The metal total contents or the concentration of AMLMs in the capsule were compared to the nutritional requirements, daily permissible dose and heavy metal total contents from the "import and export of medicinal plants and preparation of green industry state standards". The metal concentrations in the capsule were within the safety baseline levels for human consumption. After in vitro bionic digestion, most of trace metals were absorbed mainly in intestine. The concentration of As, Cd, Pb was 0.38, 0.07, 1.60 mg x kg(-1), respectively, far less than the permissible dose from the "import and export of medicinal plants and preparation of green industry state standards".
