Objective:To observe the differences in clinical efficacy of Jieyu Anshen Decoction combined with auricular points and oral tibolone in the treatment of patients with perimenopausal sleep disorders, and provide effective treatment for patients with contraindications to hormone supplement therapy in clinicalMethods:Using a randomized trial design, from July 2018 to August 2020,102 perimenopausal insomnia patients in International Peace Maternity and Child Health Hospital of China Welfare Institutewith kidney deficiency and liver depression who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group with 51 cases each. The treatment group took Jieyu Anshen Recipe. At the same time, unilateral auricular point pressing treatment was given, and the opposite ear was changed in 5 d. The control group was treated with tiburon for a period of 3 months. The changes in the scores of each scale were observed in the two groups after 1 month and 3 months treatment. The scale included Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), modified Kupperman score (KMI), Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) and Patient Health Questionnaire Depression Screening Scale (PHQ-9). Its effectiveness and differences were evaluated and analyzed comprehensively through the above scale.Results:PSQI, KMI, GAD-7, PHQ-9 scores decreased significantly in the control and treatment groups after 1 month and 3 months of treatment, and the difference were statistically significant: PSQI: (8.58 ± 1.94) and (5.81 ± 1.93) scores vs. (13.10 ± 2.53), (9.15 ± 2.59) and (6.33 ± 1.98) scores vs.(13.52 ± 2.27) scores; KMI: (19.92 ± 2.16) and (14.67 ± 4.11) scores vs. (28.54 ± 7.65) scores, (19.02 ± 5.92) and(14.10 ± 4.37) scores vs. (27.42 ± 7.34) scores; GAD-7: (4.54 ± 2.03) and (3.81 ± 1.63) scores vs. (5.69 ± 2.95) scores, (3.71 ± 2.48) and (3.32 ± 1.73) scores vs. (4.90 ± 3.17) scores; PHQ-9:(6.90 ± 2.52) and (4.98 ± 1.96) scores vs. (9.83 ± 3.71) scores, (6.15 ± 2.62) and (4.44 ± 1.81) scores vs. (9.02 ± 3.73) scores ( P<0.01). PSQI, KMI, PHQ-9, and GAD-7 scores declined between the two groups, but there were no significant differences between the two groups ( P>0.05). After 1 month and 3 months of treatment, using PSQI scale and KMI score, the total efficiency of patients in the control group was slightly higher than that of the treatment group, but the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05); after 1 month and 3 months of treatment, using PHQ-9 score and GAD-7 score, the total efficiency of patients in the treatment group was slightly higher than that of the control group, but the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Traditional Chinese medicine combined with ear acupoint pressing has similar effects to tibolone in treating perimenopausal insomnia with kidney deficiency and liver depression. It can significantly improve the quality of sleep and quality of life of patients, and has good safety. For patients who are not suitable for hormone, Chinese medicine can be used as an alternative. The therapies are worthy of clinical application.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the therapy of hypertensive outpatients among different grade hospitals in Beijing.

METHODSThirty-nine hospitals including 4 third grade hospitals, 4 second grade hospitals and 31 first grade hospitals in Beijing were selected randomly (by stratified randomization). The grade was accredited according to the hospital accreditation standard issued by Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China.

RESULTSThe average hypertension control rate (< 140/90 mm Hg, 1 mm Hg = 0.133 kPa) in outpatients was 32.3%. The hypertension control rate in the third grade, second grade, first grade hospitals were 37.7%, 36.9%, and 31.2% respectively. There was no difference in the control rate among the three different grade hospitals (P > 0.05). The frequency to use anti-hypertension drugs including long-acting calcium antagonism, ACEI, beta-receptor blocker in the third grade hospitals was significantly higher than those of the first and second grade hospitals. The rate of examination using ultrasonic cardiogram, CT, Holter and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring were significantly higher in the third grade hospitals than that of the first and second grade hospitals. There were significant differences in annual cost of hypertension treatment among three different grade hospitals (P < 0.01), being the highest (1567.5 yuan) in the third grade hospitals, medium (845.4 yuan) in the second grade hospitals, the lowest (651.8 yuan) in the first grade hospitals.

CONCLUSIONSSignificant difference in the cost of hypertensive treatment among three different grade hospitals exists in Beijing. However, there was no difference in the control rate among them. The overall hypertension control rate is 32.3%, leaving 67.7% uncontrolled. Efforts to increase the hypertension control rate should be made in all hospitals. How to guide and arrange the hypertension patients to consult a suitable hospital is important for rational and economical use of health cost.

Objective To synthesize 18 F-DPA-714 and to study its labeling rate, radiochemical purity, stability and biological characteristics. Methods 18F-was reacted with K2CO3/K2.2.2 and then en-gaged in nucleophilic substitution with DPA-714. The crude product was purified by aluminum column and semi-preparation HPLC. The stability of 18 F-DPA-714 was identified in PBS and plasma. The lipid-water partition coefficient (LogP) was determined. Biodistribution analysis and microPET imaging were performed on mice and rats respectively. Results It took about 25 min for synthesizing 18 F-DPA-714, the radiochemi-cal yield was 31.6% (decay not corrected), and the radiochemical purity was ≥99%. The product re-mained stable within 4 h. The LogP of 18 F-DPA-714 was 2.71. Pharmacokinetics of 18 F-DPA-714 was more in line with the two compartment model, with the distribution half-life ( T1/2α) of 2.40 min and the elimina-tion half-life( T1/2β) of 69.15 min. 18 F-DPA-714 was quickly uptaken by tissues after the tail vein injection. It mainly distributed in the lungs, kidneys, and heart, with the radioactive uptake values of (17.85±7.52)%ID/g, (15.41±1.80) %ID/g and (10.56±0.94) %ID/g at 30 min post-injection, respectively. 18F-DPA-714 was mainly metabolized through the liver, and excreted by the kidneys. The uptake in bones was stable. PET dynamic scanning showed that 18 F-DPA-714 accumulated in the brain of aged rats and cleared slowly within 60 min. Conclusions 18 F-DPA-714 prepared in this study has high labeling rate, short synthesis time and small precursor dosage. It displays good biological distribution and blood-brain barrier permeability characteristics.

Objective To evaluate the associations between polymorphisms of LEPR Gln223Arg,LEPR Pro 1019Pro and the risk on obesity.Methods A computerized search on literature was carried out in Wanfang,CNKI,VIP databases and CBM,PubMed,EMBASE databases to collect articles published between 1979 and 2010 concerning the associations between polymorphisms of LEPR Gln223Arg and/or LEPR Pro 1019Pro and risk of obesity in the Chinese population.Odds ratios (ORs) were used to assess the strength of the association,and 95％ confidence intervals (CIs) to present the precision of the estimates.Meta-analysis was performed using the STATA statistical software.Results Fifteen literature were collected for Meta-analysis by the uniform inclusion and exclusion criteria.There were 1096 obese patients and 949 controls for polymorphisms of LEPR Gln223Arg in 9 papers,together with 961 obese patients and 818 controls for polymorphisms of LEPR Prol019Pro in 8 papers.Overall,there were significant associations between decreased risk of obesity and LEPR Gln223Arg polymorphisms (-668 A→G) (G versus A,OR=0.66,95％CI:0.49-0.89; AG and GG versus AA,OR=0.50,95％CI:0.32-0.77; respectively).There were significant associations between increased risk of obesity and LEPR Prol019Pro polymorphisms (-3057 G→A) (A versus G,OR=1.61,95％CI:1.15-2.26; AG and AA versus GG,OR=1.50,95％CI:1.08-2.08; respectively).Conclusion Variant alleles at both LEPR-668 and LEPR-3057 were associated with obesity in the Chinese Han-dominated population.

Objective To investigate the value of 18F-FDG/99Tcm-MIBI SPECT myocardial imaging for the detection of myocardial viability and prognosis in patients with AMI. Methods 18F-FDG/99Tcm-MIBI SPECT myocardial imaging was performed in 98 consecutive patients [man 87, women 11; average age (58 ±11)y] with AMI. The myocardium was scored individually for nine segments: mildly decreased uptake = 1,significantly decreased uptake = 2, and no uptake = 3. Perfusion defect but preserved 18 F-FDG uptake was defined as perfusion-metabolism mismatch, indicating jeopardized but viable myocardium. Perfusion defect and decreased 18 F-FDG uptake were defined as match, indicating myocardial necrosis. Echocardiogram was performed before and after treatment for evaluating the LVEF. All patients were followed after treatment.The rate of cardiac events was calculated and compared between patients with medication and revascularization. Paired t test, Chi-square test and log-rank test were used for statistical analysis. Results In the group with viable myocardium, 27 patients received revascularization and 10 received medication. In the group with infarcted myocardium, 26 patients received medication and 35 received revascularization. Patients underwent revascularization and with medication had no significant difference in improvement of LVEF between both groups (viable myocardium group: χ2 = 0.509, P > 0. 05; infarcted myocardium group: χ2 =0.035, P > 0.05). In viable myocardium group, cardiac event rate was significantly higher in patients with medication than in those who had undergone revascularization (50.0% vs 14.8%, χ2 =4.91, P<0.05).In the infarcted myocardium group, cardiac event rate was also significantly higher in patients with medication (30.7% vs5.7% ,χ2 =6.83, P<0.05). Conclusions 18F-FDG/ -MIBI SPECT myocardial imaging may well be of value but limited for the detection of myocardial viability and prediction of improvement in cardiac function as well as prognosis. However, more prospective data are needed for final evaluation.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application of stress/rest MPI in the patients with 50％-75％ coronary artery stenosis.Methods The criteria for patient selection were that the patients should have at least one main coronary artery with stenosis more than 50％,and the maximal stenosis should be less than 75％ according to CAG.The stress/rest MPI was performed in 2 weeks before or after CAG.A total of 244 patients (178 males,66 females) with mean age (57 ± 10) years were included in this study.Symptom restriction stress test was used and stress MPI was performed 1 - 1.5 h after 99Tcm-MIBI (925 MBq)injection at the exercise peak.Rest MPI was performed within 48 - 72 h after stress MPI.Myocardial ischemia was diagnosed when there was a reduced uptake or even a defect in 2 different tomographic sections or in the same part of a myocardium in the continuous 2 slices.When there was an irreversible reduced uptake or defect,myocardial infarction was given as the final diagnosis.No reduced uptake or defect in all slices was shown as normal.The impact of MPI images on the selection for optimal clinical therapy plans was also discussed.X2 test was used for statistical analysis.Results A total of 340 coronary arteries with stenosis 50％ - 75％ were found by CAG.According to stress/rest MPI results,207 patients (84.8％)presented normal,33 had myocardial ischemia,3 had myocardial infarction,and 1 had both myocardial infarction and ischemia.In abnormal MPI images,there were 61 ischemic segments and 9 infarct segments,which were associated with 43 stenotic arteries (23 LAD,10 LCX,and 10 RCA).Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the results of MPI:Group 1 with normal MPI (207/244,84.8％ ) and Group 2 with abnormal MPI (37/244,15.2％ ).In Group 1,9 patients underwent coronary artery revascularization (PTCA or CABG),and the others had medical treatment.Eight patients had PTCA and 29 patients had medical treatment in Group 2.There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups ( X 2 =11.9,P =0.001 ).Conclusion Stress-rest MPI may be an effective method to evaluate ischemia degree for patients with 50％ -75％ coronary artery stenosis and a useful indicator for the individual treatment.

Objective To evaluate left ventricular function in patients with hypertensive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(HHC)using real-time 3-dimensional echocardiography(RT-3DE).Methods Thirty patients with HHC and 32 control subjects were studied.Full-volume RT-3DE data from apical window were acquired,and regional volumetric time curves of 17 segments were obtained by fast 3-dimensional border detection software.Several left ventricular function parameters were calculated semiautomatically,including global left ventricular end-diastolic volume(EDV),end-systolic volume(ESV),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),the ratio of ESV/EDV of 17 segments,the standard deviation(SD)and difference(Dif)(adjusted by the R-R interval) of time to minimum systolic volume(Tmsv)in 16 segments(Tmsv16-SD and Tmsv16-Dif).Results EDV and ESV were significantly larger in patients with HHC than that in control subjects[(88±29)ml vs (72±15) ml,t=-2.680,P=0.008;(28±10)ml vs (22±6 )ml,t=-2.613,P=0.01].HHC had a higher ratio of ESV/EDV at interventricular septum(IVS)compared with control group[mid-segments of anterior IVS:(40.51±20.28)% vs (26.43±10.10)%,t=-3.378,P=0.002;mid-segments of posterior IVS:(41.44±23.55)% vs (24.46±8.12)%,t=-3.688,P=0.001;apical segments of IVS:(30.96±21.31)% vs (19.53±7.33)%,t=-2.745,P=0.01].In patients with HHC,Tmsv16-SD and Tmsv16-Dif were significantly longer[(2.48±1.38)% vs (1.16±0.26)%,t=-5.117,P＜0.001;(7.67±5.07)% vs (3.95±1.48)%,t=-3.865,P＜0.001].And the prevalence of left ventricular dyssynchrony was higher than that in control subjects(43% vs 3%).Conclusions HHC patients may have regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction before global changes,and have a higher prevalence of left ventricular dyssynchrony.RT-3DE is a useful imaging modality for assessing left ventricular systolic function.

Objective To explore the changes of SOX9 and WT1 expressions in rat Sertoli cells irradiated by EMP ( electromagnetic pulse),S-HPM ( S-band high power microwave) and X-HPM ( Xband high power microwave).Methods Primary Sertoli cells were isolated from 3-week-old Wistar rats and its purity was immunocytochemistrically indentified with WT1.After exposure to 6 × 104 V/m EMP,100 mW/cm2 S-HPM and X-HPM for 4 min respectively,SOX9 and WT1 expressions in Sertoli cells were determined with real-time PCR and Western blot,respectively.Results SOX9 mRNA expression was decreased at 6 and 12 h post-irradiation of three different bands of electromagnetic microwave ( F =15.20and 4.84,P ＜ 0.05 ).SOX9 protein expression was also decreased at 6 and 24 h after irradiation ( F =8.46 and 7.47,P＜0.05).WT1 mRNA expression was decreased at6 and 12 h (F=13.46 and 5.08,P ＜ 0.05 ),but its protein expression was decreased only at 24 h post-irradiation ( F =10.26,P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusions Three bands of electromagnetic radiation reduce the expressions of SOX9 and WT1 in rat Sertoli cells,which may provide molecular foundation for genital system hazards induced by microwave radiation.
