ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo analyze the disease burden in Sichuan Province in 2010 and 2020， and to provide reference for disease prevention and control. MethodsMonitoring data on causes of death in Sichuan Province in 2010 and 2020 were collected. Disability-adjusted life years （DALY）， years of life lost （YLL） and years lived with disability （YLD） were calculated to assess the disease burden in Sichuan Province. ResultsIn 2020， DALY was 7.004 0 million years， among which YLL and YLD were 3.719 6 million and 3.284 4 million， respectively. Compared with 2010， the total DALY in 2020 increased by 8.27%， most of which came from the increase of YLL （16.66%）. In 2020， the standardized total DALY rate was 69.91‰， which decreased by 9.87% compared with 2010. Specifically， the rate decreased by 15.87% for females and 5.28% for males. In 2020， the burden of DALY disease in the elderly over 60 years old increased by 34.55% compared with 2010. The burden of infectious and maternal diseases decreased the most， and the standardized DALY rates of male and female in 2020 decreased by 47.03% and 55.50% compared with 2010， respectively. Injury was the next most important factor， which decreased by 32.97% in males and 26.92% in females. The standardized DALY rate of chronic diseases increased by 5.41% in males and decreased by 10.67% in females. In 2020， compared with 2010， the standardized DALY rate of males increased significantly in diabetes （82.02%）， nervous system and mental disorders （26.31%）， and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases （19.86%）. Among women， significant increases were seen in diabetes mellitus （54.74%）， neurological and mental disorders （35.52%）， and musculoskeletal and connective tissue diseases （23.51%）. ConclusionThe overall disease burden in Sichuan Province shows a declining trend， mainly attributed to the decrease in infectious and maternal diseases and injuries. The disease burden among people over 60 years old has increased significantly， with the focus on chronic diseases such as diabetes， cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases， nervous system and mental disorders， and musculoskeletal and connective tissue diseases.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analysis the burden of diseases (BOD) and economic burden of disease (EBOD) in Chongqing and provide scientific evidence for effective prevention and control of diseases.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The burden of diseases of Chongqing were estimated by use of disability-adjusted life year (DALY) from 2010 to 2013, two-step method was used in the calculation of direct economic burden of diseases. DALY combined with the human capital method were used to measure the indirect economic burden.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>From 2010 to 2013, DALY loss by all causes for the residents in Chongqing were 123.90, 127.01, 123.30 and 125.99 person year per thousand persons, respectively. The diseases mainly included non-communicable diseases, accounting for 83%-87%, followed by injure and infectious diseases. The five leading diseases of BOD in Chongqing were respiratory system disease, circulatory system disease, malignant tumor, accidental death, neuropsychiatric disease, respectively. The total economic burden of diseases was 1 621.34 million yuan RMB in 2013. The direct and indirect economic burden of diseases were 794.42 million yuan RMB and 826.92 million yuan RMB, which could be attributed to circulatory system disease, respiratory system diseases, injury, malignant tumor and muscle bones and connective tissue diseases.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Respiratory system disease, circulatory system diseases, malignant tumor, and injury have caused heavy burden both in people's health and economic status in Chongqing. It is necessary to take effective measures to prevent and control these diseases.</p>

BACKGROUND:The previous literatures have reported that the aneurysmal bone cyst has a high recurrence rate after curettage treatment. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of less invasive stabilization system plate fixation combined with bone cement in the treatment of distal femoral aneurysmal bone cyst. METHODS:A retrospective analysis was conducted in 19 patients with distal femoral aneurysmal bone cyst who treated with less invasive stabilization system plate fixation combined with bone cement in the First Hospital of Qinhuangdao between January 2002 and January 2012. The purpose of the treatment of aneurysmal bone cyst was to completely remove the cyst and prevent recurrence, and to repair and reconstruct the structure and function of the damaged tissues through implant fixation. RESUTLS AND CONCLUSION:The 19 patients were fol owed-up for 1-3 years after treated with less invasive stabilization system plate fixation combined with bone cement, and 18 cases recovered wel , one case had recurrence at 2 years after treatment. Complete removal of aneurysmal bone cyst is the key for the prevention of recurrence. The less invasive stabilization system plate is the combination of advantages of intramedul ary nail and the biological locking plate technology, which has many advantages in the treatment of aneurysmal bone cyst. Fil ing the lesion area with bone cement had certain kil ing effect on tumor, and can increase the bone strength in the lesion area. The surgical treatment of distal femoral aneurysmal bone cyst is to clear the cystic lesions firstly, and then to prevent the recurrence through less invasive stabilization system plate fixation combined with bone cement.
ABSTRACT
Objective To construct lentivirus vector expressing antigene RNA and ferritin gene.Methods Intermediate plasmid pGC-FU-HF was constructed by transfecting lentivirus vector pGC-FU with heavy chain ferritin subunit gene.The target plasmid pGC-agRNA-HF was subsequently constructed by transfecting the intermediate plasmid with β-arrestin 2 antigene RNA.The NG108-15 cells were transfected with the target plasmid.The titre of lentivirus vector was measured by RT-PCR.The expression of antigene RNA and ferritin gene was determined by Western blot and RT-PCR.Results Lentivirus vector was successfully transfected with antigene RNA and ferritin gene.The titre of lentivirus vector was 2.00 × 109 TU/ml.The expression of β-arrestin2 protein was down-regulated and the expression of ferritin protein up-regulated in the NG108-15 cells after being transfected with the lentivirus vector.Conclusion Lentivirus vector expressing antigene RNA and ferritin gene has been successfully constructed.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of operation associated with uterine arerial chemotherapy and embolization preoperation.Methods 31 patients with pathologically confirmed cervical carcinoma were treated with interventional therapy,followed by uterectomyandpelvic lymphadenectomy.Results Curative effect was obvious.The lymph metastasis of Ⅱ and Ⅲ stage was 12% and 66.67%respectively.27 patients followedup for 3 years,23 were survived(85.19%).Conclusion For cervical carcinoma,before operation,the interventional therapy can reduce the size of tumor and the metastasis of lymph,improve the ectomy by operation and the survival rate.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the possible role of valsartan(Val) in transdifferentiation of human renal tubular epithelial cell line(HKC ). Methods HKC cells were divided into four groups: (1) serum-free (negative control); (2) MCP-1 + AAI-treated (positive control); (3) Val-treated alone; (4) Val-inhibition(treated with MCP-1 + AAI + Val). Then the expression of vimentin, ?-smooth muscle actin (?-SMA ) of HKC cells were assessed by indirect enzyme immunohistochemistry (IEI), and the percentage of ?-SMA(+ ) HKC cells was assessed by flow cytometry. Results No difference in expressions of vimentin and ?-SMA by IEI and the percentage of ?-SMA(+ ) HKC cells by cytometry were found between serum-free control HKC cells and Val treated ones. The expressions of vimentin and ?-SMA in positive controls were markedly stronger than negative controls; while these expressions in Val + MCP-1 + AAI-treated HKC cells were less strong than those in positive controls. The percentage of ?-SMA(+ ) HKC cells in the positive controls was significantly higher than that in negative controls(91. 8% vs 3. 1%, P
