ObjectiveTo evaluate arterial stiffness and its influencing factors in the elderly patients with hypertension and (or) type 2 diabetes mellitus.MethodsTotally 320 elderly patients were divided into four groups: control,diabetes mellitus,hypertension,coexisting hypertension and diabetes mellitus.Arterial stiffness in ankle and brachial artery was determined by brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV).Other factors affecting baPWV were also collected and measured,including age,body mass index (BMI),sex,smoking,blood pressure,pulse pressure,mean arterial pressure,serum fasting blood glucose,lipid profile,glycosylated hemoglobin and hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP).ResultsbaPWV in the four groups were ( 1667.2 ± 279.3 )cm/s,(2158.6 ±386.9)cm/s,(1881.2±383.8) cm/s and (2165.9± 479.9)cm/s,respectively.The baPWV value was higher in groups of hypertension,diabetes mellitus,and the coexisting diseases than in controls (F=8.473,P＜0.05).Diabctic patients had a higher baPWV levels than those without diabetes.There was no difference in baPWV levels between diabetic patients with or without hypertension.Pulse pressure and hsCRP were higher in coexisting diseases group than in control group (P＜0.05).Stepwise backward regression analysis showed that fasting blood glucose,pulse pressure,mean blood pressure,hsCRP and low density lipoprotein cholesterin (LDL-C) were positively related to baPWV P ＜0.05). ConclusionsHypertension and (or) type 2 diabetes mellitus are important influencing factors for higher arterial stiffness. Hyperglycemia might play more important role in the elderly arterial stiffness.Serum fasting blood glucose,pulse pressure,mean blood pressure,hsCRP,LDL-C may be the independent risk factors of arterial stiffness.

Objective To investigate the expression of COX-2 and angiogenesis in colorectal carcinoma tissue.Methods The expressions of COX-2 and MVD of 88 cases of colorectal carcinoma and 20cases of control tissue were examined by immunohistochemical staining. Results Compared with normal control,positive expression rates of COX-2(3/20 vs 64/88),and CD34(7/20 vs 74/88)of colorectal carcinoma tissue increased significantly(P＜0.05).MVD in COX-2 positive expressed tissue(63.24-20.4)was higher than that in COX-2 negative expressed tissue(41.2±29.8)(P＜0.01).Conclusion COX-2 is overexpressed in colorectal carcinoma tissue,which may have a strong relationship with MVD.

Objective To investigate whether emodin(1,3,8-trihydroxy-6-methylanthraquinone) can attenuate inflammatory response in rats' lungs with acute necrotic pancreatitis (ANP). Method Acute necrotic pancreatitis model was induced by injection of 3% sodium taurocholic acid into the subcapsular of pancreas and emodin was administered by intestine perfusion. Plasma amylase of 3, 6 and 12 h with acute necrotic pancreatitis was measured together with the detection of IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-10 mRNA expressions in rats' lungs by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Immunohistochemistry was detected the expression of IL-1β converting enzyme (ICE) in the rats' lungs. Result Plasma amylase of 3, 6 and 12 h with acute necrotic pancreatitis groups are obviously high as compared with normal group(P＜0.05). Plasma amylase was (1 611.20±218.72)IU/L in normal group. Plasma amylase of 3, 6 and 12 h with acute necrotic pancreatitis groups were (1 981.40±56.81)IU/L, (3 287.40±612.37)IU/L and (4 914.60±746.82)IU/L. Plasma amylase of 3, 6 and 12 h with acute necrotic pancreatitis after treatment with emodin groups were obviously low as compared with acute necrotic pancreatitis groups. The plasma amylase was(1 617.20±136.80)IU/L,(2 323.40±318.19) IU/L and (2 670.20±390.03)IU/L respectively. The study showed that the mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokin IL-1β and the expression of IL-6, as well as the expression of IL-1β converting enzyme(ICE) were decreased and IL-10 was increased. Conclusion The study demonstrates that emodin plays an important role in reducing plasma amylase level. Emodin exerts anti-inflammatory effects in acute necrotic pancreatitis rats' lungs by downregulating the mRNA expression of IL-1β and IL-6 and upregulating the mRNA expression of IL-10.

Objective To study the association between activity of hand,foot and mouth disease (HFMD) and the meteorological factors in Suzhou.Methods A total of 17 653 children diagnosed with HFMD in Children's Hospital Affiliated to Suzhou University during 2008 to 2011 were enrolled.The meteorological factors in(c)luding mean temperature,relative humidity,rainfall amount,sum of sunshine and mean wind velocity during Jan 2008 to Dec 2011 were collected monthly.Numeration data were analyzed using chi square or Fisher exact test.Normal distribution data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and non-normal distribution data were analyzed using Spearman rank correlation.Results HFMD could be found all over the year and had obvious seasonality which peaked in Summer,followed by Spring and Autumn and HFMD decreased markedly in Winter.The activity of HFMD was positive correlated with mean temperature(r=0.716,P＜0.01),wind velocity (r=0.630,P＜0.01),rainfall(r=0.477,P＜0.01) and sum of sunshine(r=0.311,P＜0.05).No statistical significance was observed between relative humidity and HFMD(r =0.276,P＞0.05).Multivariate stepwise regression analysis showed that only mean temperature and rainfall were associated with HFMD and mean temperature had stronger influence on HFMD than rainfall (t =4.687,P ＜ 0.01 ; t =2.258,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions HFMD has obvious seasonality.Mean temperature and rainfall are the main factors affecting this seasonality.

Objective:To evaluate the feasibility of transforaminal endoscopic nerve root decompression for degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (DLSS).Methods: From July 2011 to April 2016,96 cases of single segment DLSS were involved.All the patients had unilateral lower extremity neurological symptoms,signs,neurogenic intermittent claudication of less than 500 m.Imaging examinations (CT or MRI) or diagnostic nerve root block confirmed single segment degeneration.The mean age was (71.6±5.4) years,male: 55 cases,female: 41 cases.Their intraoperative blood loss,operation time,complications,ambulation time and discharge time were recorded.Leg pain VAS,ODI were used to evaluate the pain and lumbar function of the patients.The clinical efficacy was evaluated by Nakai evaluation.Results: All the patients were performed endoscopic decompression of the lateral recess and nerve root by removing the ventral part of the superior facet joint,the ligamentum flavum and the intervertebral disc.The decompression range was from the inferior edge of the upper pedicle to the superior edge of the lower pedicle.The nerve root was detected to have no compression and the pulse of nerve root returned to normal.The patient got ambulant on the operation day and discharged if he had no discomfort symptom.In the study,68 cases got follow up.The mean follow-up time was 12.1 months (6-63 months).The VAS at dif-ferent follow-up time points was improved relative to the baseline,and the difference was statistically significant (F=491.60,P<0.001).The ODI at different follow-up time points was improved relative to the baseline,and the difference was statistically significant (F=189.91,P<0.001).The excellent and good rates of Nakai evaluation were 79.4％ (excellent in 42 cases,good in 12 cases,fair in 10 cases and poor in 4 cases).The mean intraoperative blood loss was (49.29±11.86) mL.The mean operation time was (92.46±21.34) min.The mean ambulation time was 1.8 h.The mean discharge time was 2.3 days.Postoperative epidural hematoma was found in 1 case.Foot drop was found in 1 case.Second stage open surgery was performed in 6 cases.Conclusion: We can apply transforaminal endoscopic decompression for the patients of lumbar spinal stenosis who have unilateral nerve root irritation.Patients with transforaminal endoscopic decompression can get less surgical trauma,quick recovery and obtain good short-term outcome.
