Objective: To investigate health equity status of the elderly with different socioeconomic status(SES)and provide basis for health promotion. Methods:The data of 2011-2012 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey was used to analyze health equity of the elderly with different SES. Results: There is an inverse socioeconomic gradient in self-evaluation of ill health and the prevalence of activity of daily living (ADL). The lower economic level is, the higher self-evaluation of ill health and the damage rate of ADL are, and the higher non-outpatient rate and non-hospitalization rate are; the urban elderly have better health and use more health services and the elderly in eastern region have better health and use more health services than those in eastern region. Conclusion: There is the health inequity for the elderly with different SES. In order to implement the health care insurance and medical assistance system of the elderly, it needs to allocate health resources to rural and western areas, narrow the gap between urban and rural areas and improve the health level of the elderly.

Objective To discuss the complications of the bilateral uterine artery superselective embolization for uterine fibroids. Methods Fourty one cases(mean 42 years old) with uterine fibroids were approached by right femoral artery puncture; including thirty six cases of single hysteromyoma(33 cases with diameter 10 cm), and 5 cases of multi hysteromyoma. Bilateral uterine artery super selective 5F catheterization embolization were done along uterine descending artery(neck of uterus to vagina)with PVA particles. Rdsults Embolization succeeded with 100% and effective ratio was 92.3%. Sixteen of these cases showed post embolization syndrome, with something outflowed from vagina and 10 cases showed changes of emmenia but with no serious complications in all 41 cases. Conclusion Using bilateral uterine artery superselective embolization for uterine fibroids with PVP grains can decrease the incidence of complications. (J Intervent Radiol, 2006, 15: 280-282)

This study was aimed to observe the protective effect of astragalus on bones of vitamin D deficiency rat model. A total of 30 male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, which were the control group, model group, and the astragalus group. The experimental period was 8 weeks. After the experiment, enzyme immunoassay was used for the detection of serum 25 hydroxy vitamin D3 [25 (OH)VD3], fibroblast growth factor-23 [FGF-23], Klotho, and HE staining of femur. The results showed that compared with the normal control group, the vitamin D deficiency rat model group had a decrease in both serum 25 (OH)VD3 and Klotho, and a increase in FGF-23, which meant the ex-istence of osteoporosis. Compared with the model group, the astragalus group had a decrease in both the serum 25 (OH)VD3 and FGF-23, and a increase in Klotho, which meant the osteoporosis of the astragalus group had been im-proved significantly. It was concluded that astragalus can regulate FGF-23 and Klotho in vitamin D deficiency rats in order to have a protective effect for bones.

BACKGROUND: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have multi-differentiation potential. In the acute wound, MSCs have been demonstrated to have the potential for differentiating into skin cells. However, there are few reports regarding its differentiation in diabetic wound.OBJECTIVE: To observe the feasibility of differentiation of MSCs into the cells of skin appendages under the microenvironment of diabetic wound.METHODS: MSCs were isolated from the bone marrow of rats, purified and cultured. Third or fourth passage MSCs were selected and labeled with 5-bromodeoxyuridine (5-BrdU). The rats were injected intraperitoneally with single administration of streptozocin to establish diabetes model. After 2 weeks, a round skin wound was made on the dorsal back of rats. BrdU-labeled MSCs at a density of 1×10~9/L were injected into the wound of the rats. The specimens were harvested from the wound tissues to prepare sections at 2 and 3 weeks after transplantation, followed by immunohistochemical staining with BrdU or keratin. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: BrdU positive cells aggregated in the epidermis, dermis and hypodermia. Some positive cells appeared in the sebaceous glands and sebaceous duct cells and expressed keratin simultaneously in serial sections. During diabetic wound healing, MSCs have the potential to differentiate into the cells of the skin appendages.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of nedaplatin and cisplatin combined with docetaxel in the treatment of cervical cancer.Methods 80 patients with cervical cancer were selected as the research subjects.According to different chemotherapy regimens,they were divided into observation group(40 cases)and control group(40 cases).The observation group adopted nedaplatin combined with docetaxel chemotherapy regimen,while the control group used cisplatin plus docetaxel chemotherapy regimens.The clinical curative effect,adverse reaction of chemotherapy,hospitalization related indicators,etc were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate of the observation group was 85.0%,which of the control group was 77.5%,the difference was not statistically significant(x2=0.739,P=0.739).The incidence rate of gastrointestinal reaction(Ⅰ-Ⅳ)in the observation group was 25.0%,which was lower than 82.5% in the control group(x2=26.560,P=0.000).The incidence rate of renal toxicity(grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ)of the observation group was 2.5%,which was lower than 17.5% of the control group(x2=5.000,P=0.025).The length of hospital stay of the observation group was(2.93 ±0.39)days,which was shorter than(4.97 ±0.81)days of the control group(t=14.352,P=0.000).The incidence rate of bone marrow inhibition(grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ)of the observation group was 43.0%,which was significantly higher than 25.0% of the control group(x2=4.381,P=0.036).1 year overall survival(OS),no local recurrence rate(LRF)and no distant metastasis survival rate(DMF)between the two groups had no statistically significant differences(all P>0.05).Conclusion Efficacy of nedaplatin or cisplatin combined with docetaxel in adjuvant chemotherapy of cervical cancer has similar prognosis,nedaplatin has less toxicity,and can shorten the time of hospitalization,patients are more likely to accept,it is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective To study helper T lymphocyte cell(Th)1/Th2 imbalance in rats′ model of asthma and the modulation of lentinan(LNT) on the airway inflammation and Th1/Th2 imbalance.Methods Thirty male SD rats were randomly divided into control,asthma and LNT groups.In the experiment,the rat model of asthma was established by the ovalbumin(OVA) challenge methods.Eosinophils(Eos) number and differentiated cell number in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) were counted by different count fluids.The levels of IL-4 and IFN-? in BALF were measured by sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Results 1.The Eos count in BALF and the ratio of eosinophils to the total cell number(Eos%) of asthma group were significantly higher than those of the control group(t=21.94,12.81 Pa

The effects of ultrafine grinding on the dissolution rates of the effective components in Sanjie Zhentong capsule (SZC) were studied in this experiment. Fine and ultrafine powder of SZC intermediates were made by ordinary grinding and ultrafine grinding technology, and then granulated by wet granulation. SZC were prepared by fine powder, ultrafine powder and ultrafine granules, respectively. With resveratrol and loureirin B as investigated indexes, dissolution rates of the four intermediates in SZC were determined by cup method and HPLC. The dissolution rates of resveratrol in SZC prepared by fine powder, ultrafine powder and ultrafine granules were 26.11%, 63.27%, 67.49%, respectively; and the dissolution rates of loureirin B were 7.160%, 20.29%, 23.05%, respectively. The dissolution rate of resveratrol and loureirin B in SZC prepared by ultrafine granules was the best. D90 size of ultrafine grinding was 13.221 μm and could improve the dissolution rates of resveratrol and loureirin B in SZC.
