Objective To observe the influence of standardized deep well water on mortality and morbidity of esophageal cancer (EC) in Linzhou. In order to test the hypothesis of "nitrogenous compound metabolised cycling" in etiology of EC. Methods Based on the investigation data collected in 1999 among which some data were from Linzhou Institute of Prevention and Treatment of EC. Three kinds of water were included, standardized deep well water(SDWW) from the well with the depth exceeding 100 meters ,finished time exceeding 6 years; unstandardized deep well water(UDWW) and mountain spring water(MSW). The mortality and morbidity of EC in the the related population. Results There were 281 458 villagers of 165 villages to drink SDWW, 183 289 villagers of 129 villages to drink UDWW and 45 274 villagers of 50 villages to drink MSW. The morbidity and mortality of EC significantly decreased in residents who drank the SDWW compared with those who drank the UDWW and MSW, P

Objective To explore the relationship between levels of plasma homocysteine (Hcy) and adrenomedullin (ADM) and sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL) in elderly patients. Methods The 80 patients with SSHL but without any treatment were selected as SSHL group, while 80 age-and sex-matched subjects without SSHL were collected as the control group. The levels of plasma Hcy and ADM were measured by fluorescence method and radioimmunoassay, respectively. And the levels of plasma Hey, ADM, total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) were compared between the two groups. Results The levels of plasma Hcy, ADM, TC and TG were significantly higher in SSHL group than in control group [(13. 81±2.88) μmol/L vs. (11. 58±2. 80)/xmol/L, (26. 40±3. 20)ng/L vs. (22. 45±2. 80)ng/L, (5.22±0. 87)mmol/L vs. (4. 52±0. 81)mmol/L, (1.80 ±0. 12)mmol/L vs. (1.52±0. 13)mmol/L;t=5. 03, 8. 22, 7.48, 3. 85, all P<0. 01). When the two groups with hypertension were compared, the levels of plasma Hey, ADM, TC and TG were (15.30±2. 77)μmol/L, (29.40±2. 80) ng/L, (5. 48±0. 98) mmol/L and (1.92±0. 18) mmol/L in SSHL group, which were higher than those in control group[(12. 80±2. 62) μmol/L, (25.20± 2. 60) ng/L, (5.01±1.03) retool/L, (1.62±0. 15) mmol/L3 (t=4.03, 7.01, 3.25, 7. 80, all P< 0. 01). There were no differences in systolic and diastolic blood pressure between the two groups(t= 0. 87, 0. 64;P=0. 38, 0. 55).Conclusions The changes of plasma levels of Hey and ADM in the elderly suggest that they could involve in the pathogenic process of SSHL, which may provide referential value for understanding the state of the disease and judging the prognosis

Sump syndrome is a rare complication of side-to-side choledochoduodenostomy (CDD) and occasionally occurs after spontaneous gallbladder-bile duct-digestive tract fistula or end-to-side choledochojejunostomy.Before the development of minimally invasive surgery,conventional surgical operation used to be the most important treatment method.This article reviews the research advances in sump syndrome in recent years and points out that endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is the major diagnostic method for this disease,and endoscopic sphincterotomy combined with bile duct debridement is the most simple and effective measure for the treatment of sump syndrome.Meanwhile,this article briefly reviews sump syndrome with reference to related literature and clinical practice,in order to raise the awareness for sump syndrome.

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) has emerged as a promising anticancer drug target due to its key role in the DNA repair process. It can polymerize ADP-ribose units on its substrate proteins which are involved in the regulation of DNA repair. In this work, a novel series of para-substituted 1-benzyl-quinazoline-2, 4 (1H, 3H)-diones was designed and synthesized, and the inhibitory activities against PARP-1 of compounds 7a-7e, 8a-8f, 9a-9c and 10a-10c were evaluated. Of all the tested compounds, nine compounds displayed inhibitory activities with IC50 values ranging from 4.6 to 39.2 micromol x L(-1). In order to predict the binding modes of the potent molecules, molecular docking was performed using CDOCKER algorithm, and that will facilitate to further develop more potent PARP-1 inhibitors with a quinazolinedione scaffold.

PARP [poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase] represents a novel potential target in cancer therapy. It is involved in a DNA repair process by catalyzing the transfer of ADP-ribose units from NAD to a number of its substrate proteins. In this work, a series of novel azaindole derivatives was designed and synthesized. Moreover, 16 target molecules were screened and 8 compounds displayed inhibitory activity against PARP-1. It has been demonstrated that these azaindoles bearing cycloamine substituents at 2-position were active to both PARP-1 and PARP-2.

BACKGROUND:Knee osteoarthritis is prevalent among the middle-aged and senior people in Asian countries, however, the epidemiology survey of total knee arthroplasty is rarely reported in China.
OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively analyze the data of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty from 2008 to 2013 in Hefei City, and explore the distribution of age and gender of these patients.
METHODS: A retrospective analysis among patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty from January 1st 2008 to December 31st 2013 in Hefei City was performed. Data were extracted from the database of Medical Records Room of Relevant Hospitals in Hefei City, including the patient’s gender, age, disease duration, education level, body mass index and surgical site. In addition, more clinical information in one hospital were selected and analyzed, to compare the difference of clinical features between men and women.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:From 2008 to 2013, totaly 1 146 patients underwent total knee arthroplasty due to knee osteoarthritis. The rate of total knee arthroplasty increased over the 6 years and was much higher in women than in men. The single-centre registry data revealed that there was no difference in age, disease duration, education level, and body mass index and surgical site between men and women. Our findings indicate that, the rate of total knee arthroplasty is increasing steadily from 2008 to 2013 in Hefei City and is higher in women than in men. Risk factors that account for such disparity in total knee arthroplasty utilization need to be further investigated.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors on outpatients′ satisfaction of medical service.Methods: 195 samples coming from 5 provinces: Shandong,Hebei,Liaoning,Heilongjiang and Jilin province,and Tianjin City were all from the outpatients′ pupulation within a year,and were investigated with questionnaires.The data were collected by face-to-face survey,and totally 134 valid questionnaires were gathered.We use the following methods to complete data analysis: independent sample t-test,and analysis of variance,analysis of correlation,expecting to find the personal factors to affect outpatient satisfaction.Results: research outcome indicates that gender has no effect on outpatient′s satisfaction;while indexes as age and education level have significant influence.

120 cases were treated by microlaryngoscopic surgery alone from March to December 1985. Among them, 73 cases were polypoid cord, 28 cases vocal cord nodule, and 19 cases of other conditions. The immediate curative results were good in 114 cases, 5 cases fair and only 1 case was poor. The postoperative complications are: dentes primoris moving in 2 cases and aerodermectasia in 1 case. The operation method is very satisfactory through an endotracheal tube without laryngeal injury. It can accomplish the unsuccessful operation done by mirior, direct and fibrous laryngoscopy surgery. The patients were under general anesthesia by an endotracheal tube without any pain or anxiety and can obtain good relaxation. The authors wish to recommend this technique to treat the related laryngeal disease.
