ABSTRACT
The individual intervention control of risk factors in high-risk population is one of key preventive measures of chronic disease.A total of 312 volunteers consulted physicians in one selected community.And 23 high-risk individuals of chronic disease were screened.The physicians customized the limit or requirement of diet,activity,tobacco and alcohol for each individual and made interventions of life behaviors according to the plans.The results showed that physical state of 20 (87％) of them converted from high-risk to health after interventions.Therefore customized control plan of individual risk factors is an effective control method of chronic disease.
ABSTRACT
In order to improve the control rate of risk factors of chronic disease, it is developed a status control method of risk factor and its mobile monitor. The monitor uses 32 bit RISC microprocessor of S3C2410X as a controller based on ARM920T core, and MC35i cellular engine GSM/GPRS supported by SIEMENS as the communication unit. The proving tests show that the physical activity, diet, smoking and alcohol of the controlled people can be controlled using the status control method, and the monitor plays a key role in the method. The conclusion is that status control method and mobile monitor can become an alternation method and technology for the risk factor control of chronic disease.

Aim To determine whether pranlukast (ONO-1078), a cysteinyl leukotriene receptor antagonist, possesses therapeutic effect when administered after focal cerebral ischemia in mice. Methods Persistent focal cerebral ischemia was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion. Pranlukast and edaravone, a positive control drug, were ip injected 1, 6 and 24 h after ischemia. The neurological deficits were evaluated by neurological scores and inclined plane test 24 and 48 h after the surgery. Forty-eight h later, the brain slices were prepared for measurements of infarct volume and the ratio of ischemic/non-ischemic hemispheres. Brain sections were cut and examined for neuron densities in different regions of the brain. The effects of pranlukast and edaravone were evaluated by the changes of these variables. Results Pranlukast (0.1 and 0.2 mg?kg -1) and edaravone (3 and 10 mg?kg -1) significantly reduced the neurological deficits, infarct volume (maximally 82.3%), ratio of ischemic/non-ischemic hemispheres, and attenuated the reduction of neuron densities in hippocampal CA1 region, cortex and striatum. Conclusion Pranlukast possesses therapeutic effect on ischemic insults when administered after ischemia as effective as edravone, indicating a therapeutic potential in the treatment of ischemic stroke.
ABSTRACT
10 h. Results 15 patients had been misdiagnosed as epididymis orchitis or acute abdomen and undergone orchiectomy because of necrosis of the testicles,including 11 cases of intrascrotal torsion (testicular torsion in scrotum with an orchiectomy rate of 79%) and 4 cases of cryptorchidism with torsion.3 cases scrotal orchidopexy has been performed and during the follow up ( 6～36 months) the testicle in 2 of which appeared viable and normal while testicular atrophy has been observed in 1.In recent years 11 adolescents underwent exploration because of acute scrotal pain,7 cases being testicular torsion and 4 acute epididymitis. Conclusions It is emphasized that in younger patients suffering suddenly from pain in scrotum, especially occurring at night,the diagnosis of testicular torsion should be considered.Differentiating cryptorchidism with torsion from incarcerated hernia or acute abdomen,testicular torsion in scrotum from acute testitis and epididymitis should be serious considered.In order to save the testicle with early surgical exploration orchidopexy might be mandatory to aviod recurrence.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To determine the relationship between antigen-induced airway inflammation characterized by pulmonary eosinophilia and bronchial hyperreactivity in rats, and to evaluate the effect of theophylline at different doses. METHODS: In ovalbumin (OA)-sensitized rats, bronchiole wall area, eosinophils around bronchi, and the responses to methacholine (MCh) aerosol were measured after 1% OA aerosol challenge with computer-assisted techniques. RESULTS: OA challenge caused both inflammation and airway hyperreactivity, and there was a significantly positive correlation between them. Oral theophylline (1-12.5 mg/kg, bid for 7 days) attenuated antigen-induced inflammation (swelling of bronchiole walls and pulmonary eosinophilia) and bronchial hyperreactivity. CONCLUSION: These findings confirm that bronchial hyperreactivity positively correlates to airway inflammation in the rat, and suggest that theophylline at relatively lower doses has anti-inflammatory effect in airway allergic reaction.
