Objective To explore the characteristics of diagnosis and treatment for the rectal cancer in the young patients (≤40 years).Methods The domestic and abroad literatures about the research on the progress of rectal cancer in the young patients were reviewed, the clinical data of patients with rectal cancer were compared between the young patients and the other age patients, the characteristics of diagnosis and treatment for the rectal cancer in the young patients were summarized.Results The onsets of the young patients with rectal cancer were related to the diet,lifestyle, and genetic factors.Compared with the older patients, more later stage, higher percentage of poor differentiation, earlier lymph node metastasis were found in the young patients with rectal cancer.Rectal cancer of the young patients was often misdiagnosed and with a poor prognosis.Currently,surgery assisted with neoadjuvant therapy was generally acknowledged as a better method.Conclusions It has specificity in epidemiology, pathology, treatment, prognosis, and so on for rectal cancer in the young patients, but surgery needs further research.
Purpose
Researching the relared risk factors of diabetic retinopathy (DR) through the epidemiological investigation.
Methods
Basing on a population random sampling survey and screening in 6 areas and cities of Anhui,216 diabetics were screened and they were then investigated in detail by filling in forms,measuring blood pressure,ocular examination including ophthalmoscopy,and lab examination including fasting blood glucose (FBG),blood glucose 2 hours after meal,urine albumin excretion (UAE),serum triglyceride,and cholesterol.
Results
The resultant date revealed that the duration of diabetes,blood pressure FBG and UAE were associated significantly with DR (Plt;0.05),and serum triglyceride and cholesterol were associated not significantly with DR(Pgt;0.05).
Conclusion
Long duration of diabetes,hight FBG and hight blood pressure are the important risk factors of DR,and urine albumin might forebode the occurrence of DR.

ObjectivesTo analyze epidemiological characteristics of leprosy in Sichuan province from 2000 to 2017.MethodsCase data of all new leprosy patients in Sichuan province from 2000 to 2017 were collected. A retrospective analysis of its epidemiological characteristics was performed by using SPSS 19.0 software.ResultsA total of 3 208 cases of leprosy were detected during 2000 to 2017, of whom 2 197 (71.28%) were male, 885 (28.72%) were female. The younger cases whose ages were less than 14 were 82 (2.66%), and the cases with grade 2 disabilities were 614 (19.92%). The mean age of male was older than female (41.64±14.26 vs. 38.89±15.12 years, P<0.05). The grade 2 disability rate of male was significantly higher than that of female (20.94% vs. 17.40%, P<0.05). Self-report was the most common method of discovery. But the ratio of male who were detected through contact examination was significantly lower than that detected through dermatological clinic, self-report, clues check and report (the ratio of male to female was 1.57, 2.38, 2.88, 2.48, 2.37, respectively, P<0.05).ConclusionsThe case detection of leprosy declines annually in Sichuan province from 2000 to 2017, especially in high-endemic area and male patients. Female patients are younger than male patients when they are detected. The grade 2 disability situation of male patients is significantly more serious than that of female patients. Self-report is the most common way of discovery, while women are more passive.
Objective To investigate the etiological and clinical characteristics of 1298 cases with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted to investigate the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of 1298 patients who suffered from spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage and were hospitalized in Neurology Dept. of Anhui Provincial Hospital from 2005 to 2009. Results Among 1 298 patients, 822 (63.33%) were male while 476 (36.67%) were female. The constituent ratio of male and female patients was significantly different; the patients mainly suffered from spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage in winter and spring which was commonly caused by hypertension accounting for 65.87% and was mostly happened on basal ganglia site (n=895, 68.95%). Conclusions The incidence of spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage is related with age, season and hypertension, it is very important to be prevented effectively and to well control the blood pressure.
