ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the correlation among risk factors of hypertension and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) in officers of regiment and above in troops stationed in Zhejiang .Methods :A total of 2641 officers of regi-ment and above from troops stationed in Zhejiang ,who participated in annual physical examination in our hospital from 2012 to 2013 ,were selected .Correlation among body mass index (BMI) ,waist circumference (WC) ,WHtR , waist/hip ratio (WHR) and blood pressure were analyzed ;receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC) was used to compare and analyze the predictive value of above four indexes on hypertension and judge the optimal cut-off point . Results :(1) Pearson correlation analysis indicated that WHtR was positively correlated with WC ,BMI ,WHR ,sys-tolic and diastolic blood pressure (r=0.25~0.94 ,P<0.005~ <0.001);(2) Among above four indexes ,WHtR had the largest area under the ROC curve 0.697 (95% CI 0.676~0.718) and the optimal cut-off point was 0.51 ;and it's 0.651 (95% CI 0.639~0.662) for BMI ,0.689 (95% CI 0.664~0.751) for WC and 0.685 (95% CI 0.672~0.698) for WHR ;for morbidity risk of hypertension ,compared with BMI ,WC and WHR ,WHtR possessed the most balanced sensitivity (60.68% ) and specificity (70.74% ) ,and the largest OR 4.12 (3.71~4.59) .Conclusion:(1) Among officers of regiment and above in troops stationed in Zhejiang ,anthropometric indexes are closely relat-ed to blood pressure ,which can be regarded as simple indexes for predicting and assessing morbidity risk of the popu-lation ;(2) Waist-to-height ratio may be the best anthropometric index evaluating risk of hypertension in these popu-lation and its optimal cuf-off point is 0.51 for predicting hypertension .
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the value of electronic rectosigmoidoscopy in health examinations.Methods Based on retrospective analysis of 30 250 patients who received electronic rectosigmoidoscopy in the Physical Examination Center of our hospital from May 2010 to Dec.2013,the incidence of anal disease and sigmoid colon disease were analyzed.Results The highest detection rate of common diseases was hemorrhoids,followed by proctopolyps,hypertrophy of anal papilla,proctitis,anal fissure,melanosis coli and colonic tumor.The detectable rate of them were 55.57％ (16 810/30 250),10.57％ (3 196/30 250),5.03％ (1 523/30 250),0.69％ (210/30 250),0.54％ (162/30 250),0.29％ (87/30 250),0.09％ (28/30 250),0.04％ (13/30 250),0.02％ (6/30 250).Conclusion Electronic colonoscopy for colorectal polyps,rectal cancer,colon melanosis and proctitis detection rate was significantly higher than the anus digital rectal examination,the difference is statistically significant,and it also has merits of simplicity,noninvasiveness and rapidity.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo assess the relationship between central obesity and metabolic syndrome (MS) in community population.MethodsOne thousand and fifty-three individuals aged≥18 (mean,45.6),including 542 men and 511 women,were recruited for questionnaire survey and medical exarmnation from 4 communities of Hangzhou during March and November 2007.Their blood pressure,waist circumference,serum glucose,lipid profile,and other biochemical markers were measured.All data were used for variance analysis.ResultsThe prevalence of MS,central obesity,hypertension,and diabetes mellitus (DM) was 11.2%,23.6%,30.5%,and 8.5%,respectlvely.The prevalence of MS,DM,and hypertension was increased with waist circumference(P<0.05).Waist circumference was positively correlated to body mass index (BMI).systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DSP),fasting blood sugar,total cholesterol,and triglyceride (r=0.812,0.649,0.712,0.657,0.598,and 0.676,respectively),although negativelv with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(r=-0.578).Waist circumference also showed positive rclationship with the number of lipid metabolism abnormity(r=0.658,P<0.01).CondusionFor Hangzhou community population.central obesity might be one of the risk factors of MS.
ABSTRACT
Objective: Our purpose was to study the expression of protein of nm23 gene in patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma.Methods:Protein of nm23 gene was detected by immunohistochemical technique in 45 patients with epithelial ovarian cancer, 12 with borderline, and 10 with benign ovarian tumor.Results:The positive expression rate in ovarian cancer (73.3%) was significantly higher than that of the benign and borderline tumors. There was no significant correlation between the expression of nm23 gene and the histological type, grade, the existence of ascites or the size of residul after operation. However, the expression of nm23 gene protein was negatively related with the FIGO stage. The overall survival rate of the patients with positive expression of nm23 gene was much higher than that of the patients with negative expression. Conclusion:The findings suggest that nm23 gene protein might serve as a valuable and independent marker for the prognosis of ovarian cancer.
