Combining the data and modern recognition, compatibility and medication regularity of treating insomnia was further analyzed.

Objective: To estimate the burden of disease (BOD) attributable to main risk factors of chronic diseases in Zhejiang Province in 2017, so as to provide the evidence for formulating the control strategy for chronic diseases and reducing BOD. Methods: The results of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 ( GBD 2017 ) were extracted to evaluate years of life lost due to premature mortality ( YLL ), years lived with disability ( YLD ) and disability-adjusted life years ( DALY ). The gender- and age-specific BOD attributable to main risk factors of chronic diseases, including the environment, metabolism and behaviors, in Zhejiang Province in 2017 was estimated and compared with those in 1990. Results: High DALY rates of chronic diseases were estimated attributable to tobacco use ( 2 807.08/105 ), unreasonable diet ( 2 724.72/105 ) and hypertension ( 1 878.69/105 ) in Zhejiang Province in 2017, and high DALY rates of chronic diseases were estimated in men attributable to tobacco use ( 4 764.77/105 ), unreasonable diet ( 3 297.00/105 ) and hypertension ( 2 076.92/105 ), while high DALY rates of chronic diseases were estimated in women attributable to unreasonable diet ( 2 117.16/105 ), hypertension ( 1 668.24/105 ) and hyperglycemia ( 1 100.53/105 ), respectively. Among individuals at ages of 15 to 49 years, high DALY rates of chronic diseases were estimated attributable to unreasonable diet ( 759.29/105 ), drug abuse ( 611.71/105 ) and tobacco use ( 605.37/105 ); among individuals at ages of 50 to 69 years, high DALY rates of chronic diseases were estimated attributable to tobacco use ( 5 528.37/105 ), unreasonable diet ( 4 628.18/105 ) and hypertension ( 2 757.78/105 ); and among individuals at ages of 70 years and older, high DALY rates of chronic diseases were estimated attributable to unreasonable diet ( 16 370.09/105 ), tobacco use ( 15 551.40/105 ) and hypertension ( 14 408.63/105 ). As compared to those in 1990, the DALY rates of chronic diseases attributable to high body mass index, alcohol use, hyperglycemia, high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and drug abuse increased by 108.23%, 48.59%, 23.17%, 17.64% and 6.06%, and the DALY rates of chronic diseases attributable to air pollution, occupational risks, unreasonable diet and impaired renal function reduced by 51.11%, 44.81%, 22.49% and 19.83%, and no significant alterations were detected in DALY rates of chronic diseases attributable to tobacco use or hypertension in 2017. Conclusions There was a high BOD of chronic diseases attributable to tobacco use, unreasonable diet and hypertension in Zhejiang Province in 2017, and the BOD of chronic diseases attributable to high body mass index, alcohol use and hyperglycemia appeared a tendency towards a rise in Zhejiang Province in 2017 relative to in 1990.

Purpose To analyze the correlation of right subclavian artery ultrasound and individual blood lipid level with coronary atherosclerosis (CA) using carotid ultrasound as control so as to explore the clinical value of them in predicting CA.Materials and Methods Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) and right subclavian artery/neck vessel ultrasound in 55 patients were retrospectively analyzed.Gensini score was used to calculate the degree of coronary artery lesions.According to the result of CCTA,patients were divided into normal group,mild coronary atherosclerosis group,severe coronary artery stenosis group.The intina-media thickness (IMT) at the origin of right subclavian artery and carotid artery bifurcation on ultrasound was measured to evaluate carotid lesions.The correlation between the IMT and Gensini score of coronary artery was analyzed.The blood lipid levels of the 3 groups were analyzed,and the efficacy of right subclavian artery,carotid artery ultrasound and blood lipid in predicting CA was evaluated.Results ① The IMT at right subclavian artery and carotid artery bifurcation were positively correlated with Gensini score,and the former had higher correlation than the latter (r=0.636,r=0.462,P＜0.01);the prediction efficacy of the IMT at right subclavian artery was slightly higher than that at carotid artery bifurcation (with sensitivity and specificity of 78.3％,64.5％,and 77.5％,60.0％ respectively).② Compared with normal control group,the levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,triglycerides,total cholesterol were higher,but the level of highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was lower in mild coronary atherosclerosis and severe coronary artery stenosis group,and the difference between the severe coronary artery stenosis group and normal groups was bigger,among which the level of triglycerides had the largest difference among the three groups with no statistical significance (P＞0.05).The HDL-C had a more significant correlation with Gensini score than other index of blood lipid (r=-0.151).③ The combination of IMT and HDL-C had a sensitivity of 81.0％ and specificity of 66.7％ in predicting CA,which were higher than that of each individual index (with sensitivity of 78.3％,64.5％ and specificity of 64.3％,55.5％respectively).Conclusion The IMT at right subclavian artery has a better predictive value in determining the degree of coronary artery lesions than that at carotid artery bifurcation.The combined application of blood lipid levels and the IMT at right subclavian artery can improve the sensitivity and specificity of predicting CA.

Objective To study the cryoprecipitate effect of local external treatment of anal fistula surgical wound repair.Methods A total of 95 cases of low simple anal fistula patients was chosen, and was divided into three groups according to random number table method.The cryoprecipitate group (n =32 cases) began with cryoprecipitate dressing (2 layer) even to fill in a wound, once per day.The Kangfuxin group (n =32 cases) used Kangfuxin solution.The exposed burn ointment (MEBO) group (n =31 cases) used MEBO to cover the wound.The healing time, postoperative wound healing rate, the granulation tissue growth, new epithelial coverage, and adverse reactions were observed.Results The cryoprecipitate group in 14 d and 21 d had postoperative wound healing rate (60.97 ±4.20)％ and (97.69 ± 1.79)％ ,wound healing time (21.31 ±2.08)days;it had higher healing rate and shorter healing times compared to other two groups (P ＜0.05).Wound repaired more neatly;and 14d and 21d after the operation, wound granulation tissue growth rate [(61.06 ± 13.29) ％ and (97.63 ± 2.81) ％] and new epithelial coverage [(33.03 ±4.15)％ and (94.97 ±4.36)％] were more than the control groups (P ＜0.05) with less adverse reactions relative to control groups.Conclusions The cryoprecipitate contained in the composition has a strong biological activity.It can promote the wound tissue cell growth, and promote the wound repair.

Mast cell which is considered to participate in immune response has long been studied. However its true role in center nervous system is still unknown. Recently,mast cell has been found to play an important function during the process of multiple sclerosis and Wernicke's encephalopathy in the brain. Multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory demyelinating disease, and Wernicke's encephalopathy is caused by deficiency of thiamine. Mast cell deteriorates the neuronal damage and the course of diseases by their mediators. Such studies may supply new idea on the therapy of these diseases.

Objective To study the value of 18F-fluoro-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) in diagnosis of patients suspected with gastric malignant tumors. Methods Ten women and fourteen men, with a mean age of (56±15) years (ranged from 28 to 83 years) suspected of gastric malignant tumors were enrolled from May 2007 to July 2007. According to the results of the first time endoscopy and biopsy, patients were divided into gastric cancer group (n=9) and suspected group(n= 15). 18F-FDG PET/CT whole body scan was performed in gastric cancer group for assistant operation and suspected group for further diagnosis. The results of PET/CT for suspected group were all confirmed by the endoscopy later. The final diagnosis was based on pathology and follow-up. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in diagnosis of gastric malignant tumors were analyzed, as well as the tumor staging before operation. Results The malignant tumor was found in 16 out of 24 patients who received 18F-FDG PET/CT scan, including 9 in gastric cancer group and 7 in suspected group. Sixteen tumors originated from stomach,and 1 infiltrated the liver, pancreas and omentum. Liver (1 case) and lung (1 case) metastases were found. Three lesions limited in intestine and 13 had positive lymph nodes. Two patiens in suspected group were not diagnosed by PET/CT, one was negative and the other, who suspected as gastric cancer by PET/CT, was pathologicaly confirmed as benign gastrointestinal stromal tumor. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in diagnosis of gastric malignant tumors were 16/17, 6/7, 16/17 and 6/7, respectively. Six patients of stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ were all detected. Conclusions 18F-FDG PET/CT whole body scan is not only a feasible, safe, noninvasive and promising diagnostic tool in detecting and differentiating gastric cancer from benign tumor, but also can assist the management of disease.

Objective To retrospectively investigate the clinical features of localized primary small bowel stromal tumors (SBSTs) and the impacting factors for prognosis.Methods The clinical and pathological data of 89 consecutive SBSTs patients,with pathologically confirmed,who underwent complete resection in Ruijin hospital between January 2003 and September 2007 were collected and analyzed.All patients were followed up for assessment of tumor recurrence and metastasis.The impacts of clinical and pathologic factors on rate of disease free survival (DFS) of the patients was evaluated.Results In total of 89 follow-up patients,15 patients were diagnosed with tumor recurrence and 9 of them died.The tumor size,mitotic index and pathological risk stratification were statistically related with DFS (P=0.000,P=0.006,P=0.000,respectively) by using Kaplan-Meier univaritate analysis.Tumor size and mitotic index were proved to be independent prognostic factors for tumor recurrence by multivariate analysis COX regression model.Conclusions Tumor size and mitotic index are related with tumor recurrence,and can be regarded as independent predictive factors of tumor recurrence.
