Objective To better understand the knowledge, attitude, practice status of sexual dysfunction (SD) in medical staffs in field of reproductive health in Tianjin. Methods Using random, stratified and clustered sampling ap-proach, we selected 507 medical staffs in field of reproductive healthcare in Tianjin. Self-administered questionnaire on sex-ual dysfunction KAP was employed to survey the general condition, to understand SD knowledge and their attitude to SD, to perceive SD prevalence of the medical staffs and their demand to sexual dysfunction training. Results The people who re-spond to our survey had high awareness to SD, but they are lack of knowlege in mechanism on sexual behavior and female SD related knowledge. Multiple-factor analysis indicated that young age group respondants(β=-0.827,P=0.018)and medical staffs from high-tier medical institutions (β=-0.223, P=0.048) showed higher awareness. When they suffered SD, 49.28%re-spondants would see doctor immediately, 36.85% informants chosen temporary observation, and 9.73% informants shown negative altitude. Minority (17.14%) of medical staff are able to confirmed SD to themselves and 90.48% of medical staff de-mand training on SD related knowledge. Conclusion It’s necessary to perform continuing education to medical staffs via different intervention, so as to improve their cognitive level and attitude to SD, and these can help them providing better ser-vice to their patients and the public.

Objective To investigate the effects of isoflurane and sevoflurane at the same dose on expression of Caspase-3 of primary somatosensory cortex (SI) and expression of micmmbule associated protein 1B (MAP1B)in cortical neuronsin neonatal SD rats.Methods Fifty-five neonatal SD rats at postnatal day 7 (eleven rats each litter,altogether 5 litters)were assigned randomly into control group(C group),isoflurane group (I group)and sevoflursne group(S group)in average.The rats in I group,S group or C group were exposed to 1.1% isoflurane or 1.8% sevoflurane (equivalent to 0.5MAC)or air 4h.The brain of neonatal rats were perfused and embedded by paraffin,Caspase-3 positive expression in the SI cortex of brain was detected by immunohistochemistry staining.Besides,the fresh cortex was dissected at O h in C group and at 2h,4h in I group and S group,microtubule associated protein 1 B expression was detected by West blot staining.Results Caspase-3 positive cells in the SI cortex were increased by 561.23%in I group(t=4.45,P<0.01)and 194.46% in S group(t=5.17,P<0.01)when compared with C group,and increased by 124.45% in I group(P<0.05)when compared with S group.The MAP1B protein was increased by 557.15%at 2h(t=16.54 P<0.01)and 475.21% at 4h(t=32.97,P<0.01)in I group while increased by 693.11%at 2h(t=9.45,P<0.001)and 268.15% at 4h(t=2.79,P=0.049) in S group when compared with C group.In S group,MAP1B protein at 4h reduced by 53.65%(P<0.01) when compared with that at 2h.Conclusion 0.5 MAC isoflurane can induce more apoptosis in the cortex in the neonatal rats'brain at postnatal day 7 than sevoflurane.They can both significantly promote the expression of MAP1B in the cortex to start the self-reparation.

Objective To assess the epidemiological characteristics of hypertension and its attributing factors in Heilongjiang province and establish a comprehensive basis for the prevention and control of hypertension in this region. Methods Using the stratified chunk method, a survey lasting 50 years was conducted on a sample of 299 677 (including i 58 782 males and 140 895 females) patients, aged 15 and above, residing in both rural and urban areas of Heilongjiang province from 1958 to 2007. Both blood pressure measurement and analysis on attributing factors of hypertension were carried out in 1958, 1979, 1991, 1999 and 2007. Results The prevalence of hypertension was significantly higher in Heilongjiang than in other provinces. It elevated annually, reaching a 3-fold increase in 50 years with an accelerating pace ( 17.06% to 25. 69% ) in the recent 8 years. Among the people examined, the prevalence of hypertension increased with aging. Furthermore, the prevalence of hypertension varied among different professions. Office workers had the highest prevalence (41.67%). Compared with female population, male participants had a much higher prevalence before the age of 55 (P < 0.0001 ). Body mass index, gender, hypertriglyceridemia, age, low-high density lipoprotein cholesterol and family history were identified as major risk factors for the development of hypertension in Heilongjiang province. However, the awareness (48. 90% ), treatment (25.33%) and control (4. 32% ) rates of hypertension in this region were relatively low. Conclusion The results of the present study identified Heilongjiang province as a high-risk region for hypertension. It also suggests the necessity to plan and implement actions for the effective prevention and treatment of hypertension in this region.

Objective To explore the ultrasound characteristics of carotid atherosclerosis in acute stroke patients with early neurological deterioration (END). Methods END was defined as a increase by at least two points in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale between admission and day 7. Among 128 patients with acute stroke in whom carotid ultrasound examinations were performed within 24 hours after admission, 38 patients with END and 40risk-matched patients without END were included in the END group and the non-END group,respectively. The ultrasound characteristics of carotid atherosclerosis were compared in both groups. Results Plaque score (16.7 ±4.4 mm vs. 13.3 ±3.5 mm, t=2.673, P=0.009),intima-media cross-sectional area (26. 4 ± 8. 5 mm2 vs. 20. 5 ± 6. 8 mm2, t = 3. 394, P =0. 001), arterial stiffness index (28. 94 ±4. 29 vs. 21. 22 ±5. 85, t = 6. 618, P =0. 000), and the rates of unstable plaque (66. 7% υs. 43. 3%, χ2=9. 164, P =0. 003), eccentric plaque (62. 8% vs. 45. 6%, χ2=5. 008, P =0. 025), stenosis ≥50% (71. 1% vs. 37. 5%, χ2=8. 828, P =0. 003), and negative remodeling (28. 9% vs. 7. 5%, χ2=6.087, P =0.014) in the END group were significantly higher than those in the non-END group, while the distensibility coefficient ([14. 74 ±8. 66]×10-6/P υs. [19. 16 ±9.35] × 10-6/Pa, t =2. 163, P=0. 034)and compliance coefficient ([0.49 ±0. 13] × 10-4 mm2/Pa υs. [0. 58 ±0. 11] × 10-4 mm2/Pa,t =3.307, P =0. 001) were significantly lower than those in the non-END group. Conclusions The ultrasound characteristics such as plaque score, intima-media cross-sectional area, arterial stiffness index, unstable plaque, eccentric plaque, stenosis ≥ 50%, negative remodeling,distensibility and compliance may be useful to predict END in patients with acute stroke.

Objective To assess epidemiological characteristics of metabolic syndrome(MS)and its attributing factors in a resident sample aged over 35 living in both rural and urban areas of Harbin in Heilongjiang province.Methods A cross-over sectional and cluster sampling was carried out in 5 984 residents aged over 35 years living in the rural and urban areas of Harbin.Height,body mass,waist circumference,blood pressure,fasting blood glucose,triglyeeride,and high density lipoprotein cholesterol were determined.In this survey,the prevalence of MS and its attributing factors were analyzed by logistic regression model according to the diagnostic criteria of international diabetes federation in 2005.Results The prevalence of MS in this sample was 24.60%(male 22.49%,female 26.29%),and the standardized prevalence rate was 23.31%(male 22.12%,female 25.19%).Compared to female population,male participants showed a much lower prevalence;and compared to urban area population,rural participants showed a much lower prevalence(26.70% vs 20.05%,P<0.05).The prevalence of MS rose progressively with age in females.The individuals with MS presented increased body mass index,hyperglycemia,and hypertriglyceridemia.Gender,age,employment,education,smoking or drinking habit,and family history of hypertension were identified as maior risk factors of MS.Conclusion The prevalence of MS in a sample of residents aged over 35 in Harbin Was 24.60%.It becomes an public health problem requiring urgent attention for prevention and treatment.

Objective To explore the relationship of the polymorphism of E-selectin gene A561C and essential hypertension (EH) among Chinese people. Methods Genotypes of E-selectin were analyzed in 95 EH patients with age ≤70 and 101 normal controls people matched in age and gender by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism ( PCR-RFLP). Serum levels of lipid, glucose, urea and creatinine were measured by biochemical techniques. Plasma soluble E-selectin were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Results The frequency of E-selection genotypes AA, AC and CC in EH group were significantly higher than normal group (P

ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety, and the brief-and prolongedterm therapeutic efficacy for im- plantation of biodegradable stent Excel combined with Tirofiban made in China into patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS). MethodA total of 301 patients were divided into Excel group (n = 100), Cypher group (n =102) and bare metal stem(BMS) (n = 99). The Tirofiban used in three groups was administered intravenously during and after operation.The loading dose of Tirofiban was 10 μg/kg given within 3 min followed by a Tirofiban intravenous maintenance infusion in 0.15 μg/(kg·min) with micro pump for 48 hours. Safety and efficacy were compared among three groups after stents implantation by the observation of TIMI flow, complication of bleeding, changes of platelet count, haematoglobin and hematocrit, incidence of angina, acute and subacute thrombosis inner stent and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) (cardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction and target ves-sel revascularization). Follow-up information got from out-patient clinic and telephone call including incidence of angina, MACE and rehospitalization were comapared sucessively 1 month, 6 monthes and 12 monthes after dis- charge. ResultsAmong there groups,there were no significant differences in demographics,and physical and lab-oratory findings before treatment. Successful rate of implantation was 100 percent and the TIMI flow of class Ⅲ was found in all patients. There was no complication of stroke and massive hemorrhage of gastrointestinal tract, and no significant differences in complication of bleeding, platelet count, hemoglobin and hematocrit after implantation. Incidence rates of acute thrombosis were 0, 0.98 and 1.01 percent in three groups, and there was no significant difference in acute thrombosis inner stent among three groups (P >0.05). The rates of angina, sub.acute stent thrombosis, MACE and rehospitalization among three groups had no differences at 1 month and 6 monthes follow-up (P > 0.05), but significant differences were not found until 12 monthes follow-up (P < 0.05). Conclusions Drug-eluting stent Excel with biodegradable polymer combined with Tirofiban made in China implanted in patients with ACS were capable of preventing acute and later thrombosis inner stent. This procedure had favourable safety, and brief-term and proionge-term therapeutic efficacy.

Systemic immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis is a protein-misfolding disease caused by the highly organized amyloid fibrillar aggregates that lead to irreversible organ dysfunction. This review summarizes systemic therapies for this disease according to the disease risk stratification. Patients with low-risk systemic immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis are eligible for chemotherapy combined with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Patients with high-risk systemic immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis can be treated with protease inhibitors (such as bortezomib, carfilzomib and ixazomib) , immunomodulatory agents (such as lenalidomide, pomalidomide) and new immunological agents (such as daratumumab and NEOD001) .

Objective:To investigate the expressions of tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP1) and fibronectin 1 (FN1) in pregnancy associated breast cancer (PABC) and their correlations with expression of E-cadherin (E-cad).Methods:The clinicopathological data of 55 PABC patients in Binzhou People's Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University from January 2011 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect expressions of TIMP1, FN1 and E-cad in cancer tissues and corresponding paracancerous tissues (>3 cm from the edge of the tumor foci). The expressions of TIMP1 and FN1 proteins in fresh intraoperative frozen cancer tissues and paracancerous tissues of 10 PABC patients were detected by Western blotting. The correlations of TIMP1 and FN1 expressions with clinicopathological characteristics of patients were analyzed by χ2 test, the correlation of TIMP1 and FN1 expressions with E-cad expression was analyzed by Spearman method, and the correlation of TIMP1 and FN1 expressions with survival was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method. Results:The positive rates of TIMP1 and FN1 in PABC tissues were 72.7% (40/55) and 58.2% (32/55), and 25.5% (14/55) and 18.2% (10/55) in paracancerous tissues, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2 values were 24.59 and 18.64, both P < 0.001). The results of Western blotting showed that the relative expressions of TIMP1 and FN1 proteins in the fresh cancer tissues of 10 PABC patients was higher than those in the corresponding paracancerous tissues (1.60±0.76 vs. 0.62±0.29, 1.31±0.62 vs. 0.44±0.15), and the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 5.92 and 4.86, both P < 0.001). The expressions of TIMP1 and FN1 in PABC tissues were correlated with estrogen receptor expression, Ki-67 positivity index, TNM stage and lymph node metastasis (all P < 0.05). The expressions of TIMP1 and FN1 were negatively correlated with expression of E-cad in PABC ( r values were -0.471 and -0.432, both P < 0.001). Five cases were lost to follow-up, and the remaining 50 cases had a median follow-up time of 43 months (12-90 months). Among the 50 cases, 36 cases were TMP1-positive and 29 cases were FN1-positive. The overall survival of TIMP1-negative group and FN1-negative group were better than those of the corresponding positive group ( χ2 values were 4.49 and 6.06, both P < 0.05); the median overall survival time of TIMP1-positive group and FN1-positive group were 51 months (95% CI 37-65 months) and 43 months (95% CI 32-53 months), while that of TIMP1-negative group and FN1-negative group were 89 months (95% CI 84-93 months) and 87 months (95% CI 85-92 months). Conclusions:TIMP1 and FN1 expressions are elevated in PABC tissues and negatively correlated with E-cad expression, TIMP1 and FN1 may be involved in PABC invasion through epithelial-mesenchymal transition and affect the prognosis of patients.

Objective To analyze clinicopathological characteristics and the potential risk-related factors of female breast hyperplasia in different age groups.Method From Jan 2015 to Dec 2016,patients diagnosed with breast hyperplasia in 12 hospitals were evaluated.All patients completed the self-designed questionnaires on women'health,including basic demographic information,clinic examination information,radiologic information and pathologic results.The patients were divided into a young group (＜ 45 years old) and an elderly group (from 45 to 75 years old).Results There were 3 684 cases of breast hyperplasia,including 2 291 cases in young group and 1 393 cases in elder group,respectively Clinically breast pain type were most commonly observed in both young and older groups (50.3％ vs.42.7％,P ＜ 0.001).While pathological research based on biopsy showed that breast adenopathy were the most common changes in both groups (67.9％ vs.61.7％,P ＜0.001).More breast cancer cases were identified in elder group than that in young group,especially in clinically lump type patients (9.4％ vs.4.2％,P ＜ 0.001).Compared with elder group,patients in young group have different distribution characteristics regarding to fertility factors,lifestyle factors and psychology scale including anxiety and depression.Conclusion Distributions of clinicopathological characteristics and risk factors of female breast hyperplasia differ across different age groups.
