Objective To explore the correlation of pregnant metaphase serum CRP and premature rupture of membranes and preterm birth.Methods Totally 300 cases maternals in pregnant metaphase were sampled to collected their fasting venous blood in the middle of elbow to detected the levels of serum CRP by immunoturbidimetry,and allof the maternals were received follow-up until end of the delivery.Of the 300 cases,there were 16 cases with premature rupture of membranes,28 cases with preterm birth,and 256 cases with full -term birth.The levels of serum CRP in pregnant metaphase of the three groups were compared,and the value of threshold to predict premature rupture of membranes and preterm birth was analyzed.Results The levels of serum CRP in pregnant metaphase of the groups of premature rupture of membranes and preterm birth were hoth higher than the group of full-term birth(P ＜ 0.05),but there were not significant difference between the two groups(P ＞ 0.05),and the threshold of the serum CRP were 13.9,10.8mg/L respectively.The sensitivity of serum CRP in pregnant metaphase to predict premature rupture of membranes was 68.75％,and the specificity was 98.94％.The sensitivity of serum CRP in pregnant metaphaseto predict preterm birth was 75.00％,and the specificity was 98.90％.Conclusion The level of pregnant metaphase serum CRP beyond a certain range may increase the possibility of premature rupture of membranes and preterm birth,which is valuable to predict premature rupture of membranes and preterm birth.

Objective To analysis the relation between diet,physical activities and chronic disease.Methods Collecting and analyzing the data of 3 673 Tianjin residences selected randomly as sample in 2002 China National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.Dietary pattern and prevalence of chronic diseases were obtained,as well as the relative risk of diet,physical activities on chronic diseases including obesity,hypertension,diabetes and hyperlipidemia.Results The prevalent rates in Tianjin adults were 26.8% for obesity,3.07% for hypertension,32.2% for hyperlipidemia and 3.7% for diabetes.Main dietary problems among them were higher intake of oil and salt,lower intake of vegetable and fruit.The percentages of energy from fat ≥30% and watching TV≥3 hours/d were risk factors for overweight/obesity,hypertension,diabetes and hyperlipidemia with OR values as 2.04(95%CI:1.53～3.04),2.00(95%CI:1.13～3.57),2.22(95%CI:1.66～2.98),1.64(95%CI:1.18～2.31);1.89(95%CI:1.32～2.70),1.79(95%CI:1.48～2.16),1.47(95%CI:1.33～1.78)and 1.45(95%CI:1.28～1.65).Physical exercises ≥30 minutes /d was a protective factor for those four chronic diseases with OR values as 0.42(95%CI:0.28～0.68),0.60(95%CI:0.40～0.89),0.50(95%CI:0.35～0.80),0.61(95%CI:0.44～0.93)respectively.Intake vegetable and fruit ≥500 grams /d could reduce the risk for obesity and hyperlipidemia,OR values were 0.60(95%CI:0.40～0.89)and 0.47(95%CI:0.30～0.72).Conclusion There was a strong relation between diet,physical activities and chronic diseases in Tianjin sampled people.It should strengthen health promotion with balanced diet and good physical activity for the chronic diseases prevention.

Objective To investigate the relationship between trace elements and rachitis in children.Methods Three hundred and twelve patients with rachitis and 297 healthy children were selected for this study.Blood zinc(Zn),iron(Fe),plasma copper(Cu),calcium(Ca),magnesium(Mg),lead(Pb) and cadmium(Cd) were assayed by atomic absorption spectrophotometer.Results The levels of Zn,Fe,Cu of rachitis in blood were significantly lower than those of healthy children,while the levels of Mg,Pb were higher.There were significant differences between 2 groups(P

Background Pterygium is a relatively common eye disease,but its aetiology and pathogenesis remain uncertain.At present,the study on pterygia focuses on understanding its underlying mechanism.Objective This study was to detect the expression of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguaine (8-OHdG),a marker of oxidative damage of DNA,and bcl-2,a gene related with apoptosis,on the pterygium tissue.Methods Thirty pterygium tissue specimens were obtained during the surgery with the primary pterygium 24 cases and recurrent pterygium 6 cases.In addition,20 normal conjunctival specimens from retinal detachment surgery and strabismus surgery were collected.The expressions of 8-OHdG and bcl-2 in pterygium tissue were detected using immunochemistry and compared with the normal conjunctival tissue.The difference in the expressions of 8-OHdG and bcl-2 among different specimens was compared by x2test,and the relationship between 8-OHdG expression and bcl-2 expression was evaluated by Kappa test.Results The positive expressing rate of 8-OHdG in the pterygium tissue was 62.5％ and 83.3％ in the primary and recrudescence pterygium tissue,respectively,but the expression of 8-OHdG was absent in the normal conjunctiva tissue.No significant difference was found in the positive expressing rate of 8-OHdG between primary and recrudescence pterygium tissue(x2 =0.938,P＞0.05).The bcl-2 expressing rate was 90.0％ and 87.5％ in the primary and recrudescence pterygium tissue,respectively.However,that in the normal conjunctival tissue was absent.No significant difference was seen in the bcl-2 expression rate between primary and recrudescence pterygium tissue (x2=0.833,P ＞ 0.05).Of the 27 pterygium tissue with bcl-2 positive expression,8-OHdG showed the positive expression in 20 specimens,and 3 specimens with the bcl-2 negative response were absent reactive to 8-OHdG,showing insignificant difference between them (P＞0.05).The relationship between 8-OHdG expression and bcl-2 expression was concord in a certein extent (Kappa =0.464).Conclusions The upregulation of 8-OHdG in the pterygium tissue indicates that oxidative damage of DNA plays a role in the development of pterygium.Oxidative damage of DNA caused by ultraviolet may be an upriver factor,which induces raising up of expression of bcl-2 and inhibits the apoptosis of normal cells and further proliferation of the conjunctiva tissue,resulting in the genesis and development of pterysium.

Objective:To explore the methods to improve the professional core competencies of medical students in the standardized residency training.Methods:A total of 82 medical students who participated in the standardized residency training ("resident students" for short) in the same period were selected in this study, and the self-edited professional core competencies textbooks were used for regular theoretical study, and at the same time, clinical practice cases were collected for regular scenario reduction teaching. When the resident students entered the department and after 12 months of the standardized training, the professional core competencies training evaluation scale was used to evaluate and compare the scores of the resident students, and the value of the above-mentioned training model to improve the professional core competencies of the resident students was evaluated. SPSS 18.5 was performed for t test between groups. Results:After being trained by the above model, the selected students had significantly improved such competencies as communication, cooperation and problems solving ( P<0.05). Compared with the scores of resident students before and after the training, there was no significant difference in communication and cooperation with other students ( P>0.05), with low satisfactory communication with the leader ( P>0.05), but the problem-solving ability had been significantly improved ( P<0.05), while the score of which was low and it should be pay more attention to in the future training. Conclusion:In the process of standardized residency training, the application of the above-mentioned training model can significantly improve the professional core competencies of resident students, and at the same time, it's necessary to strengthen the cultivation of satisfactory communication with leaders and problem solving ability.

OBJECTIVETo explore the association between C825T polymorphism of G protein beta3 subunit (GNB3) gene and different Hilit types of essential hypertension (EH) in the Uygur nationality of Xinjiang.

METHODSAccording to Uygur medical theories, EH patients (as the EH group) and non-EH patients (as the control group) were assigned to four Hilit groups. The C825T polymorphism of GNB3 was detected in 161 EH patients and 379 non-EH subjects of different Hilit types by using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) to explore the difference of the genotypes and allelic frequencies and hypertension.

RESULTS(1) In Xinjiang Uygur population, the distribution frequencies of GNB3 C825T polymorphism were in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg (chi2 = 0.871, P = 0.647). (2) There was no statistical difference in the distribution frequencies of three genotypes and two alleles of GNB3 between the EH group and the control group (P > 0.05). (3) There was statistical difference in distribution frequencies of three genotypes between the abnormal Sapra and non-abnormal Sapra group (the sum of abnormal Sewda, abnormal Kan, and abnormal Balhem) (chi2 = 6.905, P = 0.032), especially between the abnormal Sapra and abnormal Balhem groups (chi2 = 10.404, P = 0.006), but there was no statistical difference in distribution frequencies of alleles between the two groups (P > 0.05). (4) In 161 EH patients, there was statistical difference in the distribution frequencies of three genotypes and two alleles between the abnormal Sapra and non-abnormal Sapra group (chi2 = 9.034, P = 0.011; chi2 = 4.701, P = 0.03).

CONCLUSIONSBoth TT genotype and T allele of GNB3 C825T polymorphism might not be associated with EH patients in Xinjiang Uygur populations. However, they were correlated with hypertension patients of non-abnormal Sapra, indicating the pathogeneses of EH with different Hilit types might be different.
