Objective: To compare the risk factors of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in young adults and aged over 45. Methods: A total of 274 patients who suffered from the first attack of ICH were collected. Among them 34 were attributed to young adults group, and 240 were aged over 45 group. The incidence of various risk factors were calculated, the differences of risk factors, and the influence of the exposure of various risk factors between these two groups were compared. Results: Hypertension was the most prominent risk factor in patients with ICH in this study, and its incidence was 70.1%, the incidence in the young adult group and the aged over 45 group were 55.9% and 72.0% respectively, but there was no significant difference. Then the subsequent orders were hyperhomocysteinemia, history of ischemic stroke, cigarette smoking and alcoholic consumption. The incidence of history of ischemic stroke in the young adult group was 11.8%, and the aged over 45 group was 31.3%, and there was significant difference between these two groups (P > 0.05). There were no significant differences on hyperhomocysteinemia cigarette smoking and alcoholic consumption in both groups. The patients with the suspected inducing factors before the symptom onset in the young adult group and the aged over 45 group were 50.0% and 24.6% (P < 0.01) respectively. The patients with the inducing factors of fatigue or emotional agitation in both groups were 41.2% and 13.8% (P < 0.01) respectively. The symptom onset of the patients during the active state in both groups were 76.5% and 52.9% (P < 0.05) respectively. The risk factors that closely correlated with the onset of ICH were fatigue and emotional agitation before the hemorrhage in the young adult group (OR 4.370, 95% CI 2.012-9. 490, P < 0.01). Conclusion: History of hypertension is the common risk factors of ICH in the young adults and the aged over 45. Patients with history of ischemic stroke in the aged over 45 group is higher than that in the young adult group. Fatigue or emotional agitation before the symptom onset in the young adult group is higher than the aged over 45 group.

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a lethal malignancy characterized by rapid growth, early metastatic spread, and unfavorable survival outcomes. Optimizing treatment for patients with SCLC has been the focus for investigators. The emergence of precision medi-cine and personalized treatment brought significant breakthroughs into SCLC treatment and changed the therapeutic model. The de-velopment of molecular bioinformatics increased our understanding of complex molecular mechanisms of SCLC, and novel targets for personalized treatment have been developed. Clinical trials testing these targets are ongoing, which show the potential of personal-ized treatment for SCLC.

In this article we report the results on the synthesis and accumulation of PHAs by Rhodocista pekingensis (strain 3-p), a phototroph that was isolated from wastewater treatment plant. Our results showed that the optimal conditions for PHAs accumulation with strain 3-p were as following: 0.01% Yeast Extract, 0.01% NH 4Cl, Acetate 5 g/L, and medium pH of 7.0～7.2.Under optimized conditions, strain 3-p accumulated PHAs up to 60% of its cellular dry weight. Enzymatic activities of ?-ketothiolase, acetoacetyl-CoA reductase, and PHA polymerase were detected and their activities increased as PHA synthesis initialized. Based on these study, we proposed the metabolic pathway of this strain should be:Acetate (or other fatty acids) - Acetyl-CoA --- thiolase Acetoacetyl-CoA --- reductase D (-)-?-Hydroxybutyryl-CoA ----- PHA polymerase PHAs.
