Objective To investigate the role of Shenqihuang steady plaque caps (SQH) and simvastatin on stabilization of atherosclerosis plaque in rabbits whit atherosclerosis (AS). Methods Forty-five rabbits were randomly divided into five groups: normal food group (A), instability plaque group (B), SQH group (C), simvastatin group (D), SQH add simvastatin group. A group was fed with common feeds, and B, C, D, E groups were given high cholesterol feeds. An atherosclerotic rabbit model was established by feeding high cholesterol diet supplemented for 12 weeks in B, C, D, E groups. Then C, D, E groups received corresponding drugs. At the end of 24~(th) week, the drug were injected into the aortic segments rich in plaque. Two weeks later, the concentration in serum of lipids, vascular cellular adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), intercellular cellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and high sensitivity C reaction protein (hs-CRP), and area of plaque, the thickness of endomembrane, ttmica media, fibrous cap were detected. Results Compared with B group, the concentration of VCAM-1, ICAM-1, hs-CRP and area of plaque, the thickness of endomembrane, tunica media in C, D and E groups were lower significantly, the thickness of fibrous cap was thicker significantly (P

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of the real-time tissue elastography (RTE)and AST/PLT ratio in-dex (APRI)for the assessment of the early stage liver fibrosis in chronic liver disease patients.Methods Totally 90 patients with chronic liver disease were enrolled in the present study.The RTE score and the area percentage of the blue color (AREA,one of the elastic characteristics),the AST and PLT were recorded.Compared the results among different stages of liver fibrosis reported by biopsy considered as the gold standard for the assessment of liver fibrosis.The accuracy of the diagnosis of liver fibrosis by RTE scores,AREA and APRI were compared.Results RTE scores,AREA and APRI increased with the stage of liver fibrosis. Taking ≥S1 as the diagnosis standard of the early stage liver fibrosis,the area under the curve of ROC for RTE scores,AREA and APRI were 0.88,0.92,0.76 (P <0.05).Conclusion RTE is a new and promising sonography-based noninvasive method for the assessment of hepatic fibrosis in patients with chronic liver disease.Combined RTE with APRI have great clinical significance in di-agnosing the early stage liver fibrosis in chronic liver disease patients.

Objective: To investigate the childrens congenital and acquired nutritional status and the physical development among the different nationalities in Guizhou province; to find out the factors that greatly influence the childrens physical development. Methods: Investigations were carried out on the diet, height and the weight of the mothers during the early and late stage of their pregnancy and after the delivery of the babies. Results: The living conditions in the groups of Miao and Buyi were very poor. For the pregnant women among Han, Miao and Buyi groups, during their middle and late stage of the pregnancy, the intakes of protein, calcium and VB 2 did not reach 80% RDA. For the 2-4 years old children, the intake of protein was below 80% RDA. For those in Miao and Buyi groups, the chief source of protein was from cereals. There was a great insufficient intake of calcium and VB 2 in different age groups of the children mentioned above. With the increase of age, the infants of Buyi and Miao groups were gradually diverting from the standard criterion from 3rd or 4th month. The greatest difference was in Miao group, i.e. at the age of 6, the difference in height was 9.8 cm(male), 8.3 cm(female); the difference in weight was 1.64 kg(male), 1.92 kg(female). Conclusion: The physical development of the infants in Buyi and Miao groups is inferior to those in Han group. Besides the environmental influence, the quality and quantity of the protein in diet play an important role in physical development.

Objective Toinvestigate the changes of liver and kidney function and morphology of the renal artery of the metabolic syndrome (MS) rats.Methods The rats were respectively fed with ordinary or high-fructose diet for 10 weeks,and then took the blood and anatomical observation,to explore the changes of liver and kidney function and morphology of the renal artery of the rats.Results The serum levels of ALT,AST,UA,BUN,CR in the control group and MS group were gradually increased with the feeding time.But those in MS rats were significantly increased than the control rats.MS rats showed dysfunction of liver and kidney,which similar to the clinical MS cases.Compared with the control group,the renal artery of MS rats had the same pathological changes as MS cases,presented with intima uneven thickening and structural disorder,medial smooth muscle cells hyperplasia to intimal,the internal elastic membrane with different degrees of damage and fracture,the film elastic fibers thickening and structural disorder,smooth muscle cell proliferation apparently,medial obvious thickening.Conclusion MS rats have mild dysfunction of liver and kidney and abnormal changes in intima and tunica media of renal artery.

In recent years,with the change of lifestyle and environment,the incidence of colorectal cancer is increasing.Colorectal polyp is an important precancerous lesion of colorectal cancer;endoscopic early detection,early diagnosis are important for the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer.Aims:To investigate the endoscopic findings, pathology and clinical features of colorectal polyps.Methods:Patients with colorectal polyps from January 2014 to June 2016 at the Third People's Hospital of Shenzhen were enrolled,and the general information data,endoscopic findings, pathology and canceration rate were retrospectively analyzed.Results:A total of 740 patients had colorectal polyps detected,the ratio of male to female was 1.75:1,559 (75.5%)patients were aged >40 years,70.4% of polyps were located in left hemicolon,the main pathological type of polyps were inflammatory polyps (29.0%),hyperplastic polyps (29.6%),tubular adenoma (30.3%).Cancer was found in 38 patients,canceration rate was 5.1%;the main pathological types of cancerated adenoma were tubular adenoma,tubular villous adenoma and villous adenoma,and 87.2%had a diameter greater than 1.5 cm,and were mainly located in left hemicolon (76.9%).Conclusions:Gender,age,pathological type, diameter of colorectal polyps are important factors of canceration.Male colorectal polyps patients with age >40 years, diameter greater than 1 .5 cm,tubular villous adenoma and villous adenoma should be paid attention and followed up.

Objective:To observe the effect of pioglitazone on carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) and plaque-positive rate in patients with metabolic syndrome, and to ifnd a new way to improve arterial remodeling in patients with metabolic syndrome. Methods:Patients with metabolic syndrome were randomly divided into a control group (n=60) and a pioglitazone group (n=61). All subjects received basic therapeutic measures, i.e, appropriate medication to control blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol. Pioglitazone (15 mg/d) was given to patients in the pioglitazone group, and placebo (vitamin C) in the control group for 24 weeks. Color doppler ultrasound was used to measure carotid artery IMT and plaque-positive rate of patients in the 2 groups atfer the intervention. Japan’s Hitachi 7600-020 automatic biochemical analyzer was used to measure fasting serumal triglycerides, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, free fatty acids, fasting blood glucose, 2-hour postprandial glucose and liver and kidney function, etc. The differences between groups after the intervention were analyzed and compared in IMT, plaque-positive rate and all blood biochemical indicators. Results:Atfer the intervention, compared with the control group, carotid artery plaque-positive rate and the levels of triglyceride and free fatty acid decreased in the pioglitazone group (P<0.05), but there was no difference in IMT of carotid artery and other blood biochemical indicators between the 2 groups (P>0.05). Conclusion:Pioglitazone intervention can significantly improve pathologic artery remodeling, and it can more effectively inhibit the arterial plaque-formation than basic therapeutic measures in patients with metabolic syndrome.
