Objective: To assess blood levels of renal function related influencing factors with baseline clinical parameters for predicting the risk of 8-year survival in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Methods: A total of 293 CHF patients admitted in our hospital from 2006-07 to 2009-11 were enrolled. The patients were followed-up until 2014-6-30, the end point was death. According to followed-up results, they were divided into 2 groups: Survival group,n=107 and Death group,n=186. All patients received routine renal function and electrolytes examination including blood levels of urea nitrogen, creatinine, uric acid, sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, anion gap and phosphorus; GFR was calculated by MDRD formula. Baseline clinical parameters as left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were measured by echocardiography; blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded. The risk factors for 8-year survival in CHF patients were analyzed. Results: Compared with Survival group, Death group had increased LVEDD, urea nitrogen, creatinine and uric acid, while decreased LVEF, HR, GFR, blood sodium and calcium, allP<0.05. Univariate analysis indicated that LVEDD, LVEF, GFR, urea nitrogen, creatinine, uric acid, blood sodium, calcium and phosphorus had the better predictive value for the risk of 8-year survival in CHF patients, allP<0.05. Multivariate analysis presented that LVEDD, GFR and blood sodium had the highest predictive value for the risk of 8-year survival, allP<0.001; the next one was blood calcium,P<0.01. Conclusion: LVEDD, GFR, blood sodium and calcium were the independent predictors for the risk of 8-year survival in CHF patients.

Objective To analyze the HIV-infection related behaviors among unmarried youths in rural areas of Liangshan prefecture from 2011 to 2013 and factors that influencing the HIV transmission in the population under research.Methods According to the HIV sentinel surveillance methods for data collection,EpiData 3.1 and SPSS 19.0 were used to handle data and both Chi-square test and logistic regression were used to explore the related factors.Results A total number of 5 871 qualified youths were involved in this study from 2011 to 2013 with the prevalence rate on HIV infection among those unmarried youths from the rural areas as 3.45％ (201/5 833).27.56％ (1 607/ 5 833) of them had been working outside their hometown area.31.72％ (1 850/5 833) of the unmarried youths had sexual experiences,with 41.46％ (767/1 850) of them had casual sex but the rate of consistent condom use was only 3.46％ (64/1 850).5.04％ (294/5 833) of the unmarried youths admitted of ever having used drugs,with 34.35％ (101/294) of them having the experiences of injecting,with 84.16％ (85/101) of them sharing needles.Rates on factors as:working outside the resident areas,ever having had casual sexual behaviors,drug use and injecting drug use were seen higher among HIV infections,with differences statistically significant (X2=88.72,104.43,4.20,154.39,55.94,P＜0.05).Results from the logistic regression showed that factors as:being male,Yi ethnicity,illiteracy,experience of working outside the resident area,never or casual condom use and needle-sharing drug use etc.would significantly increase the risk of HIV infection.Conclusions HIV infection among unmarried youths from rural areas in Liangshan prefecture called for attention because of the high rates of risk behaviors.Factors as:having had sexual experiences with low condom use,popular injecting drug use with needle sharing,being male,under Yi ethnicity,with lower education level and ever working outside the resident area etc.were under risks that related to HIV infection for unmarried youths in this area.

Objective To investigate the epidemiologic and behavioral characteristics of HIV among community population in Liangshan prefecture.Methods We collected social demographic,behavioral and serological information by means of the monitoring questionnaire and serological tests.Data was analyzed by using the chi-square test and logistic regression.Results From April to June of 2010 to 2015,14 092 cases of community population were selected as the study objects,with 267 cases diagnosed as HIV positive patients.The HIV positive rates were 3.24％,3.07％,1.17％,1.38％,1.42％ and 1.25％,respectively.We observed that when community population having the following characteristics as:living in Butuo country (OR=3.83),being males (OR=1.77),being Yi nationality (OR=4.40) being widowed (OR=28.57),with history of drug abuse (OR=3.71) or injecting drug use (PWID) (OR=4.92),or history of needle sharing among PWID (OR=8.53),were under higher risks for HIV infection.With histories as:having had secondary or above levels of schooling (OR=0.59),having protected sex with regular parmers (OR =0.21) and with non-regular partners (OR =0.46),they seemed to be somehow protected for getting HIV infection.Conclusion The positive HIV rates of HIV among community population in Dechang,Ningnan and Butuo varied from 0.10％ to 8.77％while the HIV transmission among general population remained challenging.

Objective: To analyze and to predict the 1 year re-admission risk in patients of chronic heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF) by echocardiography.
Methods: A total of 313 HFrEF patients in our hospital community from 2007-01 to 2008-12 were studied. The patients were followed-up for (6-7) years and the end point was 1 year re-admission. All patients received routine echocardiography and the parameters included left ventricular ejection fraction of (LVEF), left ventricular diameter (LVd), pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP), mitral regurgitation (MR), tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and pericardial effusion. Based on the above 6 parameters, the risk factors for 1 year re-admission were analyzed.
Results: Univariate analysis indicated that MR (HR=1.437, 95%CI 1.190-1.737, P=0.000), TR (HR=1.288, 95%CI 1.056-1.572, P=0.013) and pericardial effusion (HR=1.560, 95%CI 1.050-2.318, P=0.028) had better predictive value for 1 year re-admission. Multivariate analysis presented that MR (HR=1.404, 95%CI 1.159-1.701, P=0.001) took ifrst place for predicting the 1 year re-admission and pericardial effusion took second place (HR=1.410, 95%CI 1.030-1.928, P=0.032).
Conclusion: MR, TR and pericardial effusion were the independent predictors for 1 year readmission in HFrEF patients;while MR and pericardial effusion were the independent risk factors for 1 year re-admission.

Objective:To Compare root resorption between T loop technique and sliding technique of orthodontic treatment.Meth-ods:90 patients with Angle class I malocclusion were orthodontically treated by MBT fixed appliances with T loop technique(n =45) and sliding technique(n =45)respectively.Root resorption of the patients were examined by grading evaluation method with orthopan-tomography and periapical films before and after orthodontic treatment.Results:After orthodontic treatment the tooth root resorption rate increased(P <0.05),the root resorption rate was not significantly different between T loop technique group and sliding technique group(P >0.05).Root resorption mostly occurred in the incisors,especially in mandibular tooth.Conclusion:There is no difference of the effect of root resorption between T loop technique and sliding technique of orthodontic treatment in patients with Angle class I malocclusion.

Objective To study the effect of Jingyebaidu granules on treating cytomegalovirus ( CMV) infection during mid-pregnancy. Methods The sexually mature guinea pigs with no CMV infection history served as the subjects. Put the male and female ones in the same cages. Then the female ones were randomly divided into three groups during mid-pregnancy. Model control group:15 guinea pigs which were inoculated 1 mL suspension of GPCMV intraperitoneally. Jingyebaidu Medicine group:15 guinea pigs which were treated with Jingyebaidu(3. 09 mL·kg-1 ) through stomach perfusion after inoculation for 14 days. Normal control group:15 normal mid-pregnant guinea pigs. Viremia rates were examined 7 days after infection. All animals were sacrificed 20 days after infection. The placenta infection rate, pup infection rate, still-born rate were examined. Results Compared with the normal controls, the still-born rate was increased in model control group(8. 33% vs 34. 55%, P<0. 05). In comparison to the model control group, the GPCMV maternal infection rate(86. 67% vs 33. 33%), placenta infection rate (91. 67% vs 61. 22%), pup infection rate(90. 91% vs 48. 28%), still-born rate(34. 55% vs 15. 52%) were significantly decreased in the Jinyebaidu group (all P<0. 05). Conclusion Jinyebaidu granules could reduce maternal infection,pup loss, and placenta infection caused by CMV inoculation during mid-pregnancy.

Objective To study the clinical efficacy of cell block yielded by ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration in the early diagnosis of thyroid cancer and differential diagnosis of thyroid follicular tumor.Methods Cytological smears were performed in 864 thyroid nodules by ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration.Then the residual specimens were made as cell blocks.Diagnosis was made by observation of the organization structure of the cell block.Cell block sections from 78 nodules with diagnosis of follicular tumors were applied to the detection of immunocytochemical staining for minichromosome maintenance protein (MCM2), growth arrest and DNA damage-induced nuclear protein 153 (GADD153), and Ki-67.Results Satisfaction rate of cytological smear combined with cell block specimen was 94.3 ％ (815/864) and accuracy rate of the diagnosis was 94.0％ (766/815), which were higher than in cytological smear group (P＜0.01).The false negative rate of cytological smear combined with cell block specimen was 16.6％ (41/247)in diagnosis of thyroid cancer.Positive rate of M CM2 and GADD153 in thyroid follicular neoplasia were lower than that of follicular carcinoma (P ＜ 0.01).There was no significant difference between thyroid follicular neoplasia and follicular carcinoma in regard to positive rate of Ki-67 (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The combination of ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration-yielded cell block and molecular markers has great significance in early diagnosis of thyroid cancer and differentially diagnosis of thyroid follicular tumor.
