ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the prevalence situation of common eye diseases and frequently‐occurring eye diseases in Chongqing area to provide the epidemic basis for the prevention and treatment of eye diseases .Methods Totally 80 384 people examined in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University during 2013 were selected and performed the examination of ocular adnexa ,anterior eye segment ,vision ,color vision and fundus .Results Among 80 384 cases of physical examination ,16 897 cases of eye diseases were detected with the prevalence rate of 21 .03% ,males were more than females ,the difference showed the statistical significance(P<0 .05) .Top three identified diseases were refractive error (14 .21% ) ,cataract (7 .87% ) and eye ground arteriosclerosis (1 .70% ) .Age ,sex ,diabetes ,serum total cholesterol and triglyceride significantly affected the eye diseases (P<0 .05) .Conclusion Age ,sex ,diabetes ,serum total cholesterol and triglyceride are the risk factors influencing eye diseases .Control‐ling blood glucose and lipid has an important significance in preventing eye diseases .
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the value of diffusion registration in diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) through comparing the diffusion tensor data to conduct the two kinds of post-processing methods for obtaining the ADC ,eADC and FA values and the vis-ual neural fiber length .Methods 20 cases of DTI data were analyzed retrospectively .The original data were adopted to directly process for obtaining the ADC ,eADC and FA values respectively ,after exerting diffusion registration the ADC ,eADC and FA val-ues were measured again ,at the same time the two different processing modes were performed the fiber trace imaging ,.The changes of ADC ,eADC and FA values in each case were compared before and after exerting the diffusion registration ,and at the same time the differences of fiber length in the same interest area in the fiber trace image were compared before and after exerting the diffusion registration .Results The difference of the ADC and eADC values obtained before and after exerting the diffusion registration in the normal group showed no statistical significance (P=0 .695 3 ,P=0 .632 1) and the FA value difference between before and after ex-erting the diffusion registration had statistical significance (P=0 .032 1);the difference of the ADC and eADC values obtained be-fore and after exerting the diffusion registration in the clinical patients group had no statistical significance ( P= 0 .203 9 ,P=0 .075 4) ,the FA value difference had statistical significance (P=0 .011 4) ,the visual neural fiber length was elongated after exer-ting the diffusion registration .Conclusion The diffusion registration processing can obtain better quality of ADC ,eADC ,FA images and the fiber trace image ,more reliable ADC ,eADC and FA values ,the visual fiber length is elongated ,which has large application value in MR DTI .
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of alcohol consumption on bone mineral density in males .Methods Association be-tween bone mineral density ,alkaline phosphatase and alcohol history ,daily alcohol consumption were analysed retrospectively in 563 men undergone physical examination .Results Of all the participates ,31 .6% has history of alcohol consumption for more than one year .The rate of osteopenia and osteoporosis was 31 .4% and 5 .9% ,respectively .The reduction of bone mineral density was posi-tively correlated with age ,length of alcohol consumption history ,daily alcohol consumption volume and the serum alkaline phospha-tase levels(P<0 .01) .The rate of osteopenia and osteoporosis were increased significantly in the males who had alcohol consump-tion history(P<0 .01) ,and paralleled with the increase of daily alcohol consumption (P<0 .01) .The alkaline phosphatase level of males with a history of alcohol consumption more than 20 years were higher than the ones without history of alcohol intake .While alkaline phosphatase level of the ones taking daily alcohol more than 50 g was higher than less than 50g or no consumption signifi-cantly(P<0 .05) .Conclusion Alcohol consumption is an important risk factor of male osteoporosis .
ABSTRACT
Objectives:To determine the relationship between hyperuricemia and lipid meterbolism abnomaltity, hypertention, and weight index. Methods:Statistical analysis was given to 9 528 cases for their health examination results, including the blood uric acid,blood fat(total cholestrrol,trigly ceride,high density lipoprotein,low density lipoprotein), blood pressure,and BMI. Results:The detection rate of hyperuricemia was 18.13%(1 727cases),in which male were accounted for 13.44%,female 6.25%. In the 1 727 cases of hyperuicemia,41.31%(535cases) were detected with lipid metabolism,overweight 45.33%(587cases), obesity15.06%(195cases). Conclution:In the cases of hyperuricemia,there are more males than females,and the number of lipid metorbolism abnormality,hypertention,overweight, and obesity is higher than that in the normal groups. Reducing Weight,controlling hyperlipemia and keeping the normal blood pressure are the considerate measures for the prevention and care of hyperuricemia.
ABSTRACT
Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the aquaporin-4(AQP4) expression in the ischemic penumbra tissues.Methods Thirty-six Wistar rats were divided into 7 groups randomly, including control group(n=6) and occluded groups(n=30). The occluded groups were studied after the right middle cerebral artery of the rats unilaterally occluded(MCAO) at an interval of 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 3 h, 6 h and 24 h, respectively(n=5 for each group). The operation process of the control group was the same as the occluded group except occluded MCAO. Then all rats were imaged with T_1WI, T_2WI and diffusion weighted-imaging(DWI). The brain tissue, according to the method by LIU Meili reported, was regarded as the area of the graphic penumbra. The relative apparent diffusion coefficient of the graphic-penumbra (rADC_1) and the center infarction(rADC_2)(ratios between the values of the occluded side and the opposite side) were calculated. The animals were sacrificed and perfused with the mixture solution consisting of TTC at different time intervals. The graphic-penumbra of the biggest layer of the ischemic cerebral tissue which corresponded to the DWI was examined with immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR. Meanwhile, histologic examination was performed at same site of the lesion. Results There were no significant changes on MRI, the relative apparent diffusion coefficient and the expression of the AQP4. The abnormal high intensity was found on DWI at 15 min after MCAO. T_2WI detected the lesion at 1 h after MCAO. The value of the rADC_1 decreased within 24 h after MCAO in ischemic penumbra, especially, it descended quickly within 1 h after MCAO, from(70.4?6.9)% at 15 min to(53.5?10.9)% at 1 h. Whereas, in the infarct tissue, the changes of the rADC_2 had a rule of decrease from(71.5?6.6)% at 15 min to(45.7?10.5)% at 3 h at first time, and then follow an increasing up to(78.7?11.5)% at 24 h after MCAO. The expression of AQP4 increased gradually within 24 h after MCAO, from 0.42?0.05 at 15 min to 1.18?0.12 at 24 h, it showed negative relationship with the rADC_1 in the ischemic penumbra (r= -0.966,P
