Objective:To study the clinical effect of Zhenjujiangya Tablet and other depressor of first choice alone in small dosage or combination in treatment of essential hypertension. Methods: 466 patients with essential hypertension were treated with Zhenjujiangya Tablet, CCB(Felodipine or Nifedipine), ACEI(Benazepril or Captopril), Metoprolol or Indapamide, respectively. If the blood pressure of patients didn't go down to the target one(

To investigate the protective effect of melatonin on the kidneys of STZ-induced diabetic rats, experimental diabetes was induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin 50 mg/kg in male Sprague-Dawley rats (150～200g). Three days after streptozotocin injection, the diabetic rats were assigned to one of the following groups: (1) DM, untreated; (2) DM+Mel 1, melatonin supplement at 0.2mg?kg -1?d -1, by gavage; (3) DM+Mel 2, melatonin supplement at 5mg?kg -1?d -1, by gavage. The treatment continued for 8 weeks. Periodically, body weight, blood glucose, plasma triglyceride and cholesterol levels were measured as clinical and biochemical parameters; plasma creatinine, creatinine clearance( Ccr), urinary protein excretion were detected as renal function indexes; kidney weight, glomerular area, PAS positive area, and cell counts were evaluated as histological damage indexes. Melatonin treatment had no significant effects on blood glucose and plasma cholesteral, but lowered plasma triglyceride level in diabetic rats. Melatonin treatment reduced urinary protein excretion. Until the end of the experiment, there were no significant changes in plasma creatinine level, Ccr in diabetic rats. Melatonin treatment decreased kidney weight/body weight ratio, reduced PAS positive area, glomerular cellular number and glomerular area which were increased in DM rats. The protective effects of melatonin were more obviose in high dosage groups. Melatonin treatment can aggravate glomerular hypertrophy and mesangial cell proliferation, delay the progression of glomerulosclerosis, and improve renal function of diabetic rats.

Methods Pareto chart wag used to analyze situation on disease component of deathbed-patients discharged from 22 geriatric nursing organizations from years 2005 to 2007 in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai. Results Components of cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, respiratory system disease, finale malignancy and senile decrepitude were accounted more than 95%.Conclusions Kinds of diseases in deathbed-patients discharged from nursing organizations in city were relatively concentrated, especially cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, respiratory system disease, finale malignancy and senile decrepitude, etc should be focal point of hospice care service in geriatric nursing organizations.

Both monitoring of occupational hazards and assessment of healthy effects on VDT operators were made. The results showed that there were several occupational hazards in VDT,including insalubrious microclimate and air ion condition, lower illuminance, higher noise, some doses of x-radiation, and unfitting ergonomics. The healthy effects of the hazards of the VDT mainly involved the operator's nervous system, psychology and behavior, eyes, musculoskeletal system as well as the woman operator's menses and pregnancy, especially in the 18 to 25 age bracket who had more VDT work hours than that of the others, it suggested that the various preventive measures against the hazards of the VDT must be strengthened.

VDT operators' occupational stress and psy-chophysical state were studied. The resultsshowed that the nature, environment and require-ments of VDT operation shaped the major occupa-tional stress in VDT operation. The longer VDTworking hours and more workloads gave the opera-tors more occupational strains. VDT operators hada lower satisfactory level to the job and lower psy-chological health level than contral group, espe-cially on obsession and depression. VDT operationperhaps gave the operators some kinds of psycho-physiological troubles. We did not find there wereharmful effects of VDT on the operators' autonom-ic nervous functions.

Objective To explore the relationship between the stromal angiogenesis and growth of the large intestinal carcinoma. Methods The vascular quantitative parameters(, , Sv, TA/BA) of the distal and proximal ends of the carcinoma, the center of the carcinoma, and the intestinal mucosa of distal and proximal ends of carcinoma were analyzed with computerized image. Differentiation degree of tumor cell was observed microscopically. Results Of the 48 cases studied, significant differences( P

Objective To provide the theoretic basis for the clearance of the metastatic lymph nodes in radical operation of colorectal carcinoma(CRC) by means of exploring the relationship between mass size of both tumor and lymph nodes and the rate of lymph node metastasis. Methods A total of 702 lymph nodes from 57 cases of CRC radical operations were divided into 5 groups and each of the lymph nodes was examined. The size of lymph nodes, Dukes' phases, the pathological types of CRC and their metastasis rate were analyzed. Results ① High metastasis rate was found at Dukes' C and D phases of CRC, being 29.93% and 48.12%, respectively. ② The metastasis rates of mucous adenocarcinoma and signet ring cell carcinoma were the highest of all pathological types, being 59 52% and 59.26%, respectively. ③ Metastasis rate of lymph nodes was not correlated with the mass size of tumor, but correlated with Dukes' phase. Conclusion ① Metastasis rate of lymph nodes increases with the growth and infiltration of tumor. ② Metastasis rates of mucous adenocarcinoma and signet ring cell carcinoma are higher than those of well and mid differentiated carcinomas. ③ Metastasis may be suggested for lymph node of CRC more than 5 mm in diameter during operation. However, clearance of lymph node of CRC less than 5 mm in diameter needs further study.

Objective To screen the differentially expressed genes between papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and normal thyroid tissues using cDNA microarray. Methods mRNA from both PTC and normal thyroid tissues were reversely transcribed to cDNAs with the incorporation of fluorescent dUTP (Cy-5 or Cy-3) to prepare the hybridization probes. The mixed probes were hybridized to the cDNA microarray, which was scanned for the fluorescent signals and showed difference between two tissues. Two among the differentially expressed genes were verified by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. Results In PTC 48 genes were upregulated while 17 were downregulated. The results of RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry were consistent with that of the gene chips. Conclusion cDNA microarray technique is effective in screening the differentially expressed genes between 2 different kinds of tissue. The obtained genes are mainly related with extracellular matrix, cytokine, signal transduction and so on.

Objective To determine the importance of aneuploidy screening in preimplantation genetic diagnosis for the couples of chromosome translocation carriers. Methods To perform 11 prenatal genetic disgnosis (PGD) cycles for 7 couples of chromosome translocation carriers from January 2006 to March 2009 in the Reproductive Medical Center, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. To re-analyze the well-fixed, non-multinuclear and non-debris nuclei using the probes of LSI 13, 18, 21,CEPX, CEPY to detect the aneuploidy rate which come from the PGD cycles of the couples of chromosome translocation carriers. The euploid embryo was defined as two fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)signals of LSI 13, 18, 21 respectively and two signals of CEPX, or one signal of CEPX and one signal of CEPY. The other abnormal signals were defined as aneuploid embryo. Results (1) A tolal of 130 nuclei from 11 PGD cycles got the integrated re-FISH signals. Nine hundred and thirty-seven FISH signals were analysized, including 304 signals from 38 euploid nuclei and the others from 92 aneuploid nuclei. (2) The number of the aneuploid nuclei from grade Ⅰ , Ⅱ and Ⅲ embryo was 20 (22%), 36(39%), and 36(39%). The number of the euploid nuclei from grade Ⅰ , Ⅱ and Ⅲ embryo was 13(34%), 17(45%),and 8(21%). There was no significant difference of aneupioidy rate between the embryos form different grades (P＞0.05). However, the rate of aneuploid nucleus from good quality embryos (grade Ⅰ + grade Ⅱ) was 60% (59/92). (3) The euploidy rate was 71.4% (30/42) from balanced embryos, while 9.1%(8/88)from unbalanced embryos. There was significant difference between them (x2=53.4, P＜0.05).The rate of aneuploidy from balanced embryos was lower than those from unbalanced embryos (P＜0.05).Conclusions Since higher rate of aneuploidy was detected in embryos of the couples of chromosome translocation carriers. It is advisable to recommend the FISH re-analysis for aneuploidy screening to preimplantation genetic diagnosis for the couples of chromosome translocation carriers.
