The prevalence of obesity,type 2 diabetes,and other chronic non-communicable diseases is increasing rapidly world-wide.Most recent epidemiological data showed that China is now in an era of obesity,and under a huge burden of the complications related with obesity,diabetes,as well as cerebral-and cardiovascular disorders.Strenuous efforts,comprehensive strategies,effective measures,and practical solutions must all be taken to combat against these chronic diseases.

Separations of neurotransmitters such as dopamine (DA), ser otonin (5-HA), norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine (E) were performed successf ully using a homemade electric field modulated capillary electrophoretic system, which could offer both radial and axial electric fields with only one high volt age power supply. DA and 5-HT were eluted simulaneously and could not be resolv ed in 0.01 mol/L phosphate buffer at pH 2.5. Alcohol additives, such as methanol , ethanol or 1-propanol were added to the buffer to change the solvation shell of the solutes, which changed their effective sizes and electrophoretic mobiliti es of the solutes accordingly. The optimum composition was a buffer of 20% (V ／V） 1-propanol, with resulted resolutions 0.74 (DA/5-HT), 0.56(5-HT/NE) and 0.77 (NE/E). If a positive radial voltage of 6.6 kV was applied, the resolut ions were improved to 1.48, 0.71 and 1.32, respectively.

Objective To probe into the relationship of self-management behavior and hope level in patients with coronary heart disease after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods The research instruments included three questionnaires:the Coronary Artery Disease Self-management Scale,the Herth Hope Scale and the demographic characteristics of respondents.Results Self-management behavior was in medium level and it was necessary to be improved.The total score of self-management behavior was positively correlated with hope level.Conclusions Medical workers should fully understand the status of selfmanagement behavior,and promote desirable self-management behavior through increase of hope level.

In recent years the incidence rate of tuberculosis (TB) has gone up.It was estimated that 1/3of people had asymptomatic latent tuberculosis infection globally.The current widespread use of Bacillus calmetteguerin (BCG) vaccine program against tuberculosis in children has a good preventive effect,but due to the limited duration of the immune responses induced by BCG,there also had situation of prevent failure,so researchers begin to explore new TB vaccines,such as live attenuated mutant strains,subunit vaccines and DNA vaccines,and achieved certain results.For the pure protein derivative tuberculosis skin test positive and immunosuppressed children,in addition to active immunization would also need anti-TB medicine for chemoprophylaxis.

The cardiovascular system is closely associated with sex hormones. The risk factors of the cadiovascular diseases or related events, such as lipid metabolism, coagulatory function and vascular endothelium function are affected by sex hormones and their analogues by a number of pathways. Consensus is generaly reached about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) among menopausal women except the effects on cardiovascular system, which removined to be controversial. It is recommended that women should consult their doctors for their individulized administration of HRT.

Objective To understand the HIV infection status among pregnant women in Henan province and provide basis for preventing mother to child transmission of AIDS.Methods The HIV-test results obtained from January 2005 to May 2007 among pregnant woman in 31 counties(districts)with relatively high HIV prevalence were analyzed.Results A total of 720 605 pregnant woman were tested for HIV antibody,of whom 541 were identified HIV positive and the HIV-positive rate was 0.08%.Of the 364 HIV positive pregnant women 223(61.26%)decided voluntarily to terminate pregnancy,while 136(37.88%)chose to continue with their pregnancy,and the proportion of HIV positive pregnant women who continued with the pregnancy in the 3 different years was 31.51%(46/146),36.31%(57/157)and 54.10%(33/61),respectively,showing an yearly rising trend.Of the 284 HIV positive mothers 250(88.03%)received PMTCT intervention.Conclusion The rate of PMTCT in HIV-positive pregnant women can be further improved by increasing HIV testing among pregnant women and HIV positive women of child bearing age and by early identifying and managing them.

Ketosis-prone diabetes is most commonly seen in type 1 diabetic patients. Long-term of glycemic control not depending on insulin is one of the characteristics of type 2 diabetes.Patients with both of the manifestations may form a new group other than type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Objective To establish a new spectrophotometry for determination of trace resorcin. Methods Resorcin can inhibit discolouring reaction of bromophenol red induced by H2O2 ,which is catalyzed by Fe(Ⅲ) in NH3-NH4Cl medium. Results The detection limit of this method was 0.054 ?g/ml, linear range was 0.16-2.6 ?g/ml, the optimum reaction temperature was 75℃ and the optimum reaction time was 4 min. Conclusion The present method is simple, accurate and can be used to determine trace resorcin in waste water.

Objective To investigate the effect of atorvastain on plasma levels of nitric oxide(NO) and alpha-granule membrance protein-140(GMP-140) in patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods 94 cases with acute cerebral infarction were randomly divided into the atorvastain group(48 cases) and the control group(46 cases).Plasma NO and GMP-140 were determined by the method of nitrate reductase and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in atorvastain group and control group at moment of hospitalization and after four weeks.Results Plasma NO and GMP-140 of atorvastain group after treatment were statistically lower than that of controls(P0.05).Conclusion Atorvastain can reduce plasma levels of NO and GMP-140 in patients with acute cerebral infarction.It can ameliorate brain injury after ischemia and has protective effect on the ischemia cerebral tissue.
