ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the vertical and horizontal proportions in facial area and the difference between Han and Kazak normal adults in Xinjiang area.Methods:According to certain standards,the adult Han and Kazak college students in Urumqi were randomly selected.Frontal photographs were taken for the subjects in accordance with the same standards.The data were imported into computer, and 20 standard anthropometric marks were determined,then 1 5 measurements were performed by photoshop soft ware,1 9 proportion i-tems of the mesurements was established.Independent sample t-test was applied for statistic analysis by SPSS1 9.0.Results:The face of the males was shorter and wider than that of the females.The males have smaller fissure width and bigger alar width than the females. However,the Han subjects have smaller fissure width and mouth width,bigger alar width and intercanthal width than the Kazak.Con-clusion:This study suggests that facial proportions were significantly different between the two nationalities and between sexes in Xin-jiang.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the correlation between plasma asymmetric dimethylarginin(ADMA) and essential hyper‐tention(EH) by comparing the difference of plasma asymmetric dimethylarginine levels between Kazak and Han patients with EH in Xinjiang .Methods 91 Kazak and 112 Han patients with EH were selected .81 Kazak and 110 Han healthy people were selected as healthy control groups .The plasma ADMA levels in EH groups and the control groups were measured by using the reverse phase‐high performance liquid chromatography (RP‐HPLC) .Meanwhile the liver function ,renal function ,blood lipids ,blood glucose and fructosamine were measured .Results Kazak and Han patients with EH had higher levels of plasma ADMA than the control groups (P<0 .01);there was a positive correlation between the plasma ADMA and blood pressure levels of EH patients in two na‐tionalities(r=0 .715 ,P<0 .01 for Kazak ;r=0 .645 ,P<0 .01 for Han) .Conclusion Both Kazak and Han patients with EH have higher levels of ADMA than the respective healthy control group in Xinjiang .The correlation between the plasma levels of ADMA and EH existed ,which indicate that ADMA might be involved in the occurrence and development of EH .
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the face profile difference between the Han and Kazak normal youths.Methods:College students of Han and Kazak aged 18-22 years,including 152 Han subjects(58 males and 94 females)and 155 Kazak subjects(62 males and 93 fe-males)in Urumqi were randomly selected.Profile photos were taken for every subject in accordance with same standards respectively. The data were import into computer.Photoshop software was used for measuring the profiles.Independent sample T test was applied for data analysis by SPSS 19.0.Results:Lip protrusion of the males was larger than that of the females and tip of nose was more upward in the females than that in the males in both Han and Kazak subjects.However,the Han subjects have more protruding lips,smaller chin and more upward nose tip compared with the Kazak subjects.Conclusion:This study suggests that there were significant differences of face profile between the two nationalities and sexes in Xinjiang.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the short-term curative effects and side effects of the three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy in advanced esophageal cancer in Xinjiang provenience.Methods One hundred and twelve cases were divided into Kazak and Han nationality group according to the different nations.Chemotherapy was DF regime:5-Fu 1000 ms/m2+DDP 20 mg/m2,d1-4,21 days as a cycle,total 4-6 cycles.For both groups,3DCRT was carried out by conventional fractionation with total dose of 60-66 Gy/30-33frin 6-7w.Results The following-up rate was 100%.The number of pailents followed up at two years wero 23 and 27 in Kazak and Han nationality group,respectively.The immediate effective rates(CR(complete remission)+PR(partial remission))were 77%(34/44)and 85%(58/68)in ban and kazak group,respectively(X2=4.89,P=0.180).The 1-and 2-year survival rate were 75%,59%and 52%,40%(X2=1.71,P=0.191)in Kazak and Han group,respectively.The 3-4grade radioesophagitis were 5%(2/44)and 7%(5/68)in kazak group and han group,respectively(X2=1.66,P=0.435).The 3-4 grade radiopneumonia were 2%(1/44)and 1%(1/68)in kazak group and ban group,respectively(X2=0.99,P=0.608).The 3-4 grade haematolosical toxicity were9%(4/44) and 29%(20/68 in kazak and in han group,respectively(X2=6.57,P=0.037).Conclusions There was no significant difference in short-term curative effects between patients from han and kazak nationality with advanced carcinoma of esophagus who received the three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy.but Kazak people showed better tolerance.
