Randomized sampling-based questionnaire among 2000 community residents and personal contact with selected populations were conducted.Based on incidence or clinical featuxes of dermatosis and venereal diseases and recognition-related impact factor analyses,we provided evidence for community-based health education and behavior intervention.Our findings showed that itching was the most common skin disease,and fungous infection displayed an increasing trend.Viral diseases increased significantly in recent years.Patients failed to understand the skin diseases,although they partly had some misleading information about venereal diseases.Health care providers should perform more health education and behavior interventions regarding dermatosis and venereal diseases for community residents to improve their health condition or quality of life.

Objective To investigate factors influencing the quality of life (QOL) of cancer patients with bone metastases. Methods Eighty-two cancer patients with hone metastasis were investigated.A questionnaire designed according to European Organization for Treatment of Cancer quality of life questionnaire ( EORTC QLQ-C30),Monroe Dunaway Anderson symptom inventory-Chinese edition (MADSI-C) and hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) standards was used to collect the information. Results The average total standardized QOL score of these cancer patients was 53.28±19.20.Among the function subscales,social function got the lowest average score (47.54),while among the symptom subscales fatigue got the highest average score (56.65).According to the MDASI-C,the most serious symptom burdens were fatigue,distress and pain; working and walking experienced the most interference.The symptom burdens correlated significantly with the QOL results.Twenty-four of the patients (29.3%) had been diagnosed with anxiety,and 17 (20.7%) were diagnosed with depression.Anxiety and depression continued to be significantly associated with overall QOL and its various dimensions. Conclusions The results show that the burden of fatigue and pain,as well as of anxiety and depression are significantly associated with impaired QOL among cancer patients with bone metastasis.Work (housework) and walking were the most severely affected activities.Psychological rehabilitation should be focused on the comprehensive treatment of patients with bone metastasis along with other appropriate rehabilitation strategies to enhance their overall functioning,relieve their symptoms and improve their QOL.

Objective To evaluate the role of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway in the reduction of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury by diazoxide postconditioning in rats.Methods Sixty adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 3 months,weighing 240-260 g,were randomly divided into 5 groups (n =12 each):sham operation group (S group),I/R group,vehicle group (V group),diazoxide postconditioning group (D group),and STAT3 signaling pathway inhibitor Stattic group (St group).Myocardial I/R was produced by 30 min occlusion of left anterior descending branch of coronary artery followed by 120 min reperfusion.In V and D groups,0.4% dimethyl sulfoxide and 7 mg/kg diazoxide (in 1 ml of 0.4% dimethyl sulfoxide) were injected through the femoral vein at the onset of reperfnsion,respetively.In St group,Stattic was injected through the femoral vein 10 min before reperfusion,and the other procedures were the same as those in D group.The infarct size (IS) and myocardial apoptosis were detected by TTC staining and TUNEL,respectively.Apoptotic index (AI) was calculated.STAT3 mRNA expression in myocardial tissues was detected using RT-PCR.Western blot was used to detect the phosphorylation of STAT3.Results Compared with S group,the IS and AI were significantly increased and the expression of STAT3 mRNA and phosphorylation of STAT3 were decreased in I/R group (P < 0.05).Compared with I/R group,the IS and AI were significantly decreased and the expression of STAT3 mRNA and phosphorylation of STAT3 were increased in D group (P < 0.05).There was no significant difference in IS,AI,expression of STAT3 mRNA and phosphorylation of STAT3 between V group and St group (P >0.05).Compared with group D,the IS and AI were significantly increased and the expression of STAT3 mRNA and phosphorylation of STAT3 were decreased in St group (P < 0.05).Conclusion STAT3 signaling pathway is involved in the reduction of myocardial I/R injury by diazoxide postconditioning in rats.

Objective To investigate the effect of hydromorphone postconditioning on ischemiareperfusion (I/R) injury in isolated rat hearts and the role of mitochondial permeability transition pore (mPTP).Methods Male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 2-3 months, weighing 250-320 g, were used in the study.The rats were heparinized and anesthetized with intraperitoneal 10% chloral hydrate 350 mg/kg.The hearts were excised, and perfused in a Langendorff apparatus with K-H solution saturated with 95% O2-5% CO2 at 36.5-37.5 ℃.Forty isolated rat hearts were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=10 each)using a random number table: control group (group C), group I/R, hydromorphone postconditioning group (group H), and hydromorphone postconditioning + mPTP opener lonidamine group (group HL).Group C was continuously perfused with K-H solution for 120 min.Group I/R was perfused with K-H solution for 30 min, the perfusion was then suspended for 30 min, and group I/R was perfused with K-H solution for another 30 min.Group H was perfused with K-H solution for 30 min, the perfusion was then suspended for 30 min, and group H was perfused with K-H solution containing 0.3 μmol/L hydromorphone for 10 min, and then with K-H solution for 50 min.Group HL was perfused with K-H solution for 30 min, the perfusion was then suspended for 30 min, and group HL was perfused with K-H solution containing 0.3 μmol/L hydromorphone and 30 μmol/L lonidamine for 10 min, and then with K-H solution for 50 min.At 30 min of equilibration (T0), and 30 and 60 min of reperfusion (T2,3), left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP), left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP), left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) , ±dp/dtmax, heart rate (HR), and coronary flow (CF) were measured.The concentrations of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) , and troponin-T (Tn-T) in the coronary effluent were determined at T0 and T3.The coronary effluent was collected at T0 and 15 min of reperfusion (T1),nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) concentrations were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to reflect the degree of mPTP opening.The myocardial infarct size was determined at T3 by TTC staining.Results Compared with group C, LVDP, HR, ±dp/dtmax and CF were significantly decreased, and LVEDP was increased at T2,3, and the concentrations of LDH, CK-MB and Tn-T in the coronary effluent, myocardial infarct size at T3, and NAD+ concentrations in the coronary effluent at T1 were increased in group I/R (P<0.05).Compared with I/R and HL groups, LVDP, ±dp/dt CF and HR were significantly increased, and LVEDP was decreased at T2,3, and the concentrations of LDH, CK-MB and Tn-T in the coronary effluent, myocardial infarct size at T3, and NAD+ concentrations in the coronary effluent at T1 were decreased in group H (P<0.05).Conclusion Hydromorphone postconditioning can reduce myocardial I/R injury in isolated rat hearts, and the mechanism is related to inhibition of mPTP opening.

Objective To examine the relationship between the A118G polymorphism of mu-opioid receptor(OPRM1) gene and analgesic effects of oxycodone hydrochloride in patients with severe cancer pain. Methods Fifty-nine patients with severe cancer-induced pain were divided into 3 groups by genotype(AA group,AG group and GG group,23,28,8 patients, respectively). They were orally treated with oxycodone hydrochloride sustained-release tablets,and the treatment dosage and adverse reactions(including nausea,vomiting,dizziness,constipation,etc.)were compared between groups. Results The variation of allele frequencies(118G)was 37.3%.The dosage of oxycodone hydrochloride sustained-release tablets used in AA, AG and GG groups was(27.0±14.3),(36.4±22.5)and(55.0±35.1)mg,respectively,and the differences were statistically significant between groups( P = 0. 01). On the part of adverse reactions,the incidence of nausea and vomiting,dizziness, constipation was 28.8%,22.0%,and 52.5%,in AA,AG and GG groups,respectively,and there was no significant difference between groups(P>0.05). Conclusion The analgesic effect of oxycodone hydrochloride is affected by opioid receptor gene polymorphism.Patients with G allelic variation(AG or GG genotype)require larger doses of oxycodone hydrochloride than those with AA genotype.However,adverse reactions are not associated with polymorphism.
