OBJECTIVETo investigate metabolic syndrome components that influencing the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
METHODSFive hundred persons were selected from a unit in Nanning city, Guangxi, based on the cross-sectional study on a distribution of population with metabolic syndrome in 2004 and followed them up for 3.5 more years. Physical examination would include detection on blood pressure, glucose, serum cholesterol and body index etc. When someone suffered from cardiovascular disease would be viewed as an 'end-point event'. Criteria of diagnosis were under the basis of CVD from the WHO-MONICA.
RESULTS(1) The mean value of physical and biochemical index as BMI, waist circumstance, systolic pressure, diastolic pressure. Fast serum glucose, triglyceride in the population with more MS components were higher than the ones with less components. (2) The prevalence rates of CVD in the four groups were 2.97%, 4.19%, 7.97%, 11.88% respectively with significant differences between the groups (P = 0.0008). (3) Data from the logistic analysis manifested that when compared to the 0 group, the risk rate of CVD for groups having 1, 2, 3 components were 1.41, 2.68, 4.00 respectively. After adjusted age and sex, time of occurrences, results from the Cox model showed that the risk rate of CVD for groups with 1, 2, 3 components were 1.29, 2.47, 3.67 (RR 95%CI: 1.02 - 13.14) respectively. (4) Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the cum hazard of CVD in the 3rd group was higher than in the 0, 1 group, and at the end of follow-up, the cum hazard of CVD was 12.7% in the 3rd group among population with metabolic syndrome.
CONCLUSIONWhen increasing the number of components of metabolic syndrome, the higher risk ratio for population to suffer from CVD was seen. With the natural process of disease, the more components of metabolic syndrome in population, the higher cum hazard would influence the occurrence of CVD in the future.

BACKGROUND: In the treatment of unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty has the advantages of less blood loss, less trauma, quick recovery, maximum retention of bone mass, low cost, fewer complications and higher patient satisfaction. However, for the mobile bearing and the fixed bearing, the choice of single condylar prosthesis is till controversial.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the difference of LINK fixed-bearing and Oxford mobile-bearing unicompartment arthroplasty in relieving knee joint pain, reconstruction of the knee joint function, correct the knee joint deformity for medial unicompartment knee osteoarthritis, thus providing the basis for selecting a better prosthesis.METHODS: Ninety patients with medial unicompartment knee osteoarthritis undergoing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty in the Department of Joint Surgery, Guangdong Provincial Hospital of TCM from December 2014 to June 2016 were analyzed retrospectively, followed by allotted into Oxford mobile-bearing and LINK fixed-bearing groups (n=45 per group). The preoperative and postoperative pain level, range of motion of the knee, complications, and limb alignment were assessed. The range of motion and function of the knee were evaluated by Knee Society Score system.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The two kinds of prosthesises both could obtain good clinical effectiveness. (2)There was no significant difference in the Knee Society Score, Visual Analogue Scale scores, or the range of motion of the knee between two groups (P > 0.05). (3) No complications such as deep vein thrombosis, prosthesis loosening and joint revision were found in both groups. (4) The correction of limb alignment showed significant difference between two groups (P < 0.05). The corrective femorotibial angle in the Oxford mobile-bearing group was larger than that in the LINK fixed-bearing group. (5) These findings manifest that under the precondition of strictly mastering the indications, both fixed-bearing and Oxford mobile-bearing unicompartment arthroplasties can effectively relieve the pain and improve the function of knee joint in the treatment of unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis. Oxford mobile-bearing prosthesis exhibits advantage in restoring the limb alignment; the movable platform lower limb alignment correction angle is often bigger than fixed platform correction angle, but may accelerate the lateral cartilage wear.

To silence the expression of K-RASAsn12 in human pancreatic cancer cell line by vector-based RNAi(RNA interference) technique,two single-strand DNA sequences encoding mutant-specific shRNA (short haipin RNA) for K-RASAsn12 were synthesized and then inserted into pSilenCircle. The recombinant plasmid was called pSC-K-RASAsn12. According to the same method, pSC-GFP encoding shRNA for GFP was gained. Both recombinant plasmids were transfected into human pacreatic cancer cell line AsPC-1 and BxPC-3. The expression level of K-RASAsn12 was detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot. The result indicated that the recombinant plasmid edcoding mutant-specific shRNA for K-RASAsn12 can inhibit significantly the expression of K-RASAsn12 without affection of wild-type K-RAS(K-RASWT)in Human Pancreatic Cancer Cell Line.

Objective To investigate the impact of age on patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) and normal persons. Methods Data was gathered from 8280 persons including 4873 males and 3407 females who were randomly selected. All subjects were devided into normal group and MS group. According to the interval of ten years, the subjects were devided into seven age groups, to calculate the difference of impaired fasting glycaemia (IFG) between patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and normal people, as well as the related portions. Results (1) The risk of IFG and DM appeared to be different among age groups among the target subjects as well as in the normal and the MS groups (P<0.05). (2) Among the whole subjects, the overall prevalence of IFG was increasing with age. The prevalence of DM had an increasing trend with age augment in 20-79 years group, whereas a decreasing trend appeared in people over 80 years of age. (3) For normal persons, the prevalence of IFG and DM were all increasing with age augment in 20-79 years group, and then decreasing with age augment in the over-80-years group. (4)For MS patients, the prevalence of IFG had an increasing trend with age augment in 20-69 years group, whereas a decreasing trend appeared in people over 70 years of age. There was no tendency of variation with age augment in DM.Conclusions (1) For normal persons, high prevalence rates of IFG and DM were correlated to age augment, especially in senior persons. (2) For MS patients, high prevalence of IFG was also correlated to age augment, but no association between prevalence of DM and age augment was seen. (3)Age from 70 to 79 years appeared to be in high risk with MS.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the factors related to the outcome of patients with chronic severe hepatitis B and effectiveness of antivirus therapy.
METHODSThe effects of the factors including age, prothrombin activity (PTA), serum HBeAg, Anti-HBe, HBV-DNA load, with or without complication, antivirus therapy and so on, on outcome of 330 patients with chronic severe hepatitis B were analyzed in this retrospective study.
RESULTSThe mortality of patients with chronic severe hepatitis B was significantly higher among patients at higher age, with lower PTA, and with more complications. The mortality of patients with HBV-DNA more than 1x10(5) copies/ml (52.3 percent) was higher than that of patients whose HBV-DNA was less than 1x10(5) copies/ml (32.9 percent). There was no correlation between serum HBeAg or anti-HBe and the mortality. The mortality of patients with HBV-DNA higher than 1x10(5) copies/ml (30.38 percent) who were treated with lamivudine in 2005 was lower than that of patients whose HBV-DNA was less than 1x10(5) copies/ml (54.64 percent) who were not treated with any antiviral therapy in 2001.
CONCLUSIONThe higher serum virus load is the key factors of the mortality in addition to the other factors such as older age, lower PTA, more complication in the patients with chronic severe hepatitis B. The usage of antivirus therapy may be associated with lower mortality.

The paper is to report the study of pharmacokinetics of transdermal administered nicotine in the brain of freely moving rat by using microdialysis with stable labeled isotope as internal standard. The pharmacokinetic behavior of nicotine in Sprague Dawley rat brain was investigated after intranasal administration (3.75 mg). Brain fluid samples were collected by intracerebral microdialysis with DL-nicotine as internal standard. Concentrations of nicotine and DL-nicotine in the sample were measured by HPLC-MS/MS. Main pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated and analyzed by Das 2.0 pharmacokinetic software. The recovery of nicotine and the delivery of DL-nicotine were the same. The fate of absorption and distribution was two compartment model and the values of t1/2alpha was 170.31 min, t1/2beta was 263.30 min and the AUC(0-infinity) was 2.75 x 10(5) microg x L(-1) min separately. DL-nicotine can be used to calibrate the recovery of nicotine, and the new method of stable isotope microdialysis can be used to study the pharmacokinetics of freely moving rat. It will make sense for the treatment of addiction of tobacco and provide a new thought for the research of pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamic combination.
