Objective To investigate awareness of knowledge about iron deficiency anemia (IDA)in patients with it.Methods Patients diagnosed as IDA at their initial visits to Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University Medical School were randomly selected for the study during January 2008 to January 2009 with self-designed questionnaire to investigate their awareness of knowledge about IDA.Results Among 199 patients with IDA investigated, their awareness was lower in general, five percent about its etiologies, 34.2 percent about its clinical manifestations, 18.1 percent about its hazard to health, and two percent about food abundant of iron.For preventive measures of IDA, 50.7 percent (101/199) of them knew that daily diet should be diversified and 43.7 percent (87/199) knew that meals should be prepared with ferric cooking pot.Awareness of knowledge about other preventive measures of IDA was lower in them.No significant difference in awareness of IDA-related knowledge between them at varied ages was found, except for knowledge about etiology and hazard of IDA.Awareness of etiology of IDA differed between them at varied ages (P ＜0.05), and about 75.3 percent (64/85)of patients with IDA aged 30 -45 years were caused by chronic blood loss.There was no significant difference in awareness of IDA-related knowledge between patients with IDA caused by varied etiologies (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions In general, awareness of IDA-related knowledge was lower in patients with IDA.It is necessary to strengthen its popularization, with varied focuses in preventive measures for IDA patients with different etiologies.

Objective To analyse the change of the blood serum electrolyte in asphyxial neonates.Methods To test the concentration of blood serum K~+、Na~+、Cl~-、Ca~(2+) in enzyme linked immunosorbhent assay.In 343 cases,there were 297 cases of slight asphyxial neonates and 46 eases of serious neonates.In control group,there were 41 cases.Results The concentration of blood serum K~+、C~l-、Ca~(2+) in asphyxial neonates were significamly less than control group(all P<0.01) and the concentration after birth 24h～48h were significantly less than within 24h(all P<0.01).The incidence of hyponatremia,hypochloremia and hypocalcemia after birth 24h～48h were significantly hisher than within 24h(all P<0.01),There were no significant differences in the concentration of blood serum K~+、Na~+、Cl~-、Ca~(2+) between the slight asphyxial group and the serious asphyxial group(P>0.05).Conclusions The concentration of blood serum K~+、Na~+、Cl~-、Ca~(2+) in asphyxial neonates gradually reduced after birth 48h and tbe incidence of electrolyte disturbance gradually increased.The change of blood electrolyte should be dynamically routinely monitored.

The causes of iatrogenic injury in choledo-cho-pancreatico-duodenai junction include iatrogenic factors, anatomic factors and pathological factors. T-tube, methylthionine chloride and fiber choledochoscopy are useful methods for early diagnosis. Accurate exploration of the injury site and reasonable choice of management were significant in dealing with the iatrogenie injury and can lead to a satisfactory result. Choledo-chojejunostomy and Oddi sphincteroplasty are not recommended unless the patients had distal bile duet stricture or the stones can not be removed. Accurate detection of the injury site, evaluation of the severity, and proper choice of the surgical method are important for the prognosis of the patients.

Atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis are the common pathologic causes of such cardiovascular diseases as myocardial infarction,cerebral apoplexy,and so on.Early detecting the changes of artery's malfunction and proper treatment can effectively help to prevent those mortal diseases or slow down the its procedure.This review analyses currently used methods and devices evaluating the arterial stiffness.Three main methods and instruments which based upon analysis of pulse transit time,wave contour of the arterial pulse,and direct measurement of arterial geometry and pressure,which correspond to the evaluation of regional,local and systemic stiffness of body region are discussed.They are used in clinical laboratory and/or in clinical treatment particular attention is given to the reproducibility of each device.

Mechanisms of UV-B-induced apoptotic regulation in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae were studied. The results showed that UV-B irradiation indeed inhibited the growth of yeast cells as well as induced extensive apoptosis during 96 h experiment period. However, survival of 96 h irradiated cells remained 10% while most control cells finally dead after re-growth under UV-B irradiation for 12 d. And by exposed to 0.01 mol/L or 0.1 mol/L H2O2 for 30 min, survival rate of 24 h irradiated cells were 3.0-fold or 3.2-fold than control, respectively. By to heat shock for 30 min or 60 min, survival rate of 24 h irradiated cells were 3.5-fold or 9.0-fold than control, respectively.

Respiratory distress syndrome( RDS) is a critical respiratory disease and commonly occurs in preterm infants. Preterm RDS is mainly due to the deficiency of lung surfactant. However,recent studies have in-dicated that genetic susceptibility may involve in the pathogenesis of RDS in preterm infants. In this paper,recent research progresses of genetic susceptibility and related candidate genes of RDS in preterm infants at home and abroad are reviewed.

Objective To summary clinical experience of laparoscopic treatment of cholecystitis with cholecystolithiasis complicated,in order to provide reference for clinical difficult laparosco-pic resection of gallbladder.Methods Reviewing the operation treatment of laparoscopic cholecystectomy on 94 complex cases of resection during January 2008 to December 2014.Results The 94 patients included 17 cases with severe adhesion around gallbladder,9 cases with gallbladder atrophy,39 cases with gallbladder ampulla and cystic duct stone incarceration,11 cases with acute gangrenous cholecystitis with gallbladder stones,14 cases with gallbladder triangle anatomy is not clearing and 19 cases with gallbladder stones with schistosomial cirrhosis or liver volume variation.Some cases were with the two or more kinds gallbladder stone.There were 91 cases with successful implementation of the laparoscopic cholecystectomy,4 of 91 cases were treated with subtotal cholecystectomy,and 3 cases were converted to open cholecystectomy.There were no cases with serious complications or even deaths.Conclusion Regarding of the complex gallbladder stones appear different situation in operation,we can complete the operation by using different operation method and treatment method in laparoscopic.

Objective: To investigate the effect of vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) on invasive capability and proliferation of human cholangiocarcinoma cells. Methods: The effect of VEGF-C on FRH0201 was assayed by MTT. The cycle pattern and apoptosis was assayed using flow cytometry. The effect of VEGF-C on homotypic adhesion and metastasis in FRH0201 was examined with 3H-TdR infiltration and Boyden chamber. Results: VEGF-C could enhance the proliferation of FRH0201 in a dose and time dependent manner. And VEGF-C could inhibit cell apoptosis significantly. After cultured for 2 hours with 1, 5, 10ng/ml of VEGF-C, there were more cells in the lower chamber than the control group. After 60, 90, 120 minutes induction by 1ng/ml、5ng/ml、10ng/ml, the cells showed significantly lower homotypic adhesion than that of the control group. Conclusions: VEGF-C could enhance the proliferation of FRH0201 and inhibit cell apoptosis. VEGF-C could decrease homotypic adhesion of FRH0201 and might be a cause of the metastasis.

Objective To study the effects of environmental noise on the health of frontage uptown residents in Fuzhou city. Methods The AWA6218B sound-level meter was used to determine the sound intensity in five frontage uptowns, the testing time was at noon and in the evening, 213 inhabitants were selected to investigated the health effects by the questionnaire. Results The five tested frontage uptowns' Leq were 57.4-67.7 dB(A), which was in the extent of loudness. Some residents considered the noise as the main pollution which impacted their living quality. The noise had the adverse effect on sleeping, emotion, audition, working and study. Conclusion Environmental noise has serious adverse effects on the health of the frontage uptown inhabitants.
