Objective To investigate the effect of statins and angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) on paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in patients with chronic congestive heart failure. Methods All of 145 patients with chronic congestive heart failure and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation were randomly divided into four groups, Ⅰ group (treated with amiodarone ), Ⅱ group( treated with amiodarone and valsartan), Ⅲ group( treated with amiodarone and pravastatin)and Ⅳ group (treated with amiodarone,valsattan and pravastatin). After 2- year follow-up, observed the changes of left atrium diameter (LAD), C-reactive protein (CRP) and maintenance rate of sinus rhythm before and after treatment. Results After treatment, the data of LAD of the four groups were (44.1 ± 2.1 ), (41.7 ± 2.8), (44.4 ± 3.1 ), (40.1 ± 2.5) mm respectively. The LAD data of beth Ⅰ group and Ⅲ group were significantly higher than those of Ⅱ group and Ⅳ group (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference either between Ⅰ group and Ⅲ group, or between Ⅱ group and Ⅳ group. The levels of CRP of the four groups were (4.56 ± 0.24), (4.47 ± 0.45 ), (2.87 ± 0.53 ), (2.54 ± 0.42) mg/Lrespectively, and the levels of CRP of Ⅰ group and Ⅱ group were obviously higher than those of Ⅲ group and Ⅳ group(P< 0.05 ), but there was no significant difference either between Ⅰ group and Ⅱ group,or between group and Ⅳ group. Maintenance rate of sinus rhythm of the four groups was 57.9%,79.4%,77.1%,85.3% respectively,the maintenance rate of sinus rhythm of Ⅰ group was significantly lower than that of Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ group (P<0.05). Conclusions Va]asrtan and pravastatin may reduce recurrence of paroxysmal atrial fibri]lation in patients with chronic congestive heart failure. Valsartan may inhibit dilatation of left atrium, and pravastatin may decrease the level of CRP in blood.

Objective To discuss the diagnosis and management and prevention of spontaneous renal allograft rupture. Methods A retrospective analysis of 12 spontaneous renal allograft rupture was conducted. Clinical presentations were similar in all patients: sudden pain and swelling over the graft and declining blood pressure accompanied by anufia. Color-ultrasound combined with clinical manifestation had higher sensitive in detecting a case. Eleven cases were performed emergency operation, 3 of them lost their kidneys, 8 of them were performed transplant-preserving operation,2 cases lost their allograft because of rerupture of the kidney. Conservative therapy was carried on 1 case. Results Five cases of transplant nephrectomy were given hemodialysis to maintain, 6 eases who had accepted surgery to retain kidney transplantation and 1 case of using conservative treatment were cured and discharged. Conclusions Acute rejection and acute tubular necrosis are the main causes of spontaneous renal allograft rupture. Color-ultrasound combined with clinical manifestation have higher sensitive in detecting a case. As soon as possibly adopting internal medicine, surgery for a joint deal with the breakdown of renal aUograft rupture is important.Prevention should begin with the removal of the kidney, operation of the renal graft, rational use of immunodepressants, and early management of transplant rejection.

Human acute premyeloid leukemia cell cDNA expression library was constructed to screen acute premyeloid leukemia tumor antigen. Total RNA and purified mRNA were extracted from human premyeloid cell line NB4. First and second strands of cDNA were synthesized by reverse transcription. After blunting, the cDNA fragments were ligated with EcoR I adapters. Then the cDNAs were digested with Xho I, and less than 400 bp cDNA fragment was removed by Sephacryl-S400 spin column, the remaining were ligated with lambdaZAP vector. The recombinants were packaged in vitro, and a small portion of packaged phage was used to infect E. coli XL1-Blue-MRF' for titration. The recombinants were examined by color selection. In order to evaluate the size of cDNA inserts and the diversity of library, the pBK-CMV phagemid was excised from the ZAP express vector by using ExAssist helper phage with XLOLR strain, and then the pBK-CMV phagemid was digested by Xho I and EcoR I. The results showed that the NB4 cell line cDNA library consisting of 1.65 x 10(6) recombinant bacteriophages was constructed with the recombinant ratio of 99.6%. The average length of the recombinant exogenous inserts was about 1.7 kb. It was concluded that the constructed cDNA library are deserved to screen target clones.

Objective:To understand the current status of personal protection in occupational population at high risk for brucellosis in China and provide evidence for the evaluation of implementation of National Brucellosis Prevention and Control Plan (2016-2020).Methods:Four counties in Shanxi Province and Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were selected to conduct a questionnaire survey in occupational population at high risk for brucellosis from December 2019 to July 2020 by using cross-sectional survey methods.Results:A total of 2 384 persons at high risk for brucellosis were surveyed, and the standardized utilization rate of personal protective equipment (PPE) was 20.13% (480/2 384). The utilization rate of glove, mask, rubber shoe, and work cloth were 38.26% (912/2 384), 31.80% (758/2 384), 32.01% (763/2 384) and 30.87% (736/2 384),respectively. There were significant differences in the utilization rate and standardized utilization rate of the four types of PPE among populations in different age, occupation, educational level and area groups (all P<0.001). The utilization rate and standardized utilization rate of PPE were lower in people over 60 years old, women, farmers, and those with lower educational level. The results of multivariate analysis showed that occupation and area were the influencing factors for the standardized utilization of PPE, the standardized utilization rates of PPE were higher in herdsmen and veterinarians. The standardized utilization rate of PPE in Yanggao County and Huocheng County was significantly higher than that in Zuoyun County and Hunyuan County. Conclusions:The utilization rate of the four types of PPE in occupational population at high risk for brucellosis was not high in China, and the standardized utilization rate was low, lower than the requirement in National Brucellosis Prevention and Control Plan, and there were significant differences among different areas. It is urgent to distribute PPE to occupational population at high risk for brucellosis and carry out health education about PPE utilization. Meanwhile, it is necessary to strengthen information exchange or sharing among different areas.

Objective:To understand the current status of knowledge of brucellosis prevention and control among occupational groups at high-risk of brucellosis, and to provide a scientific basis for assessing the effectiveness of brucellosis prevention and control in China.Methods:A total of four counties in Shanxi Province and Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were selected as survey counties from 2019 to 2020, and 600 people from the occupational groups at high-risk of brucellosis in each survey county were selected as survey respondents, and basic information and knowledge of prevention and treatment were collected through questionnaires. Single-factor and multi-factor logistic regression models were used to analyze the factors affecting the population's knowledge of prevention and treatment.Results:A total of 2 411 people participated in the survey and 2 384 valid questionnaires were obtained, including 1 405 males and 979 females, with the youngest age being 18 years old, the oldest being 91 years old, and the median being 57 years old. The overall knowledge of brucellosis prevention and control was 17.74% (423/2 384). The knowledge rate was lower among people over 60 years old, farmers, and people with less than elementary school education (13.99%, 14.50%, and 13.78%), and higher among women, herders, and people with elementary school education (20.02%, 36.33%, and 19.58%); the knowledge rate was lower in Hunyuan County (0.51%), and the differences in overall knowledge rates by age, occupation, education level, and region were statistically significant (χ 2 = 18.25, 87.18, 11.05, 197.43, P < 0.001). Multi-factor logistic regression analysis showed that gender, occupation, literacy and region were associated with knowledge of prevention and treatment ( P < 0.05). Conclusions:The overall knowledge of prevention and treatment among high-risk occupational groups in the key areas of China's brucellosis prevention and treatment program is low, with a large gap with the goals of the national brucellosis prevention and treatment program, and gender, occupation, literacy level, and region are the influencing factors of the knowledge of prevention and treatment. There is an urgent need to carry out a variety of health education activities for high-risk occupational groups and to strengthen the exchange of experience on brucellosis prevention and treatment between regions.

Objective:To understand the drug treatment status of echinococcosis patients in Jimusar County, Changji Prefecture, Xinjiang, and to explore the construction of medical cooperation system for echinococcosis patients, and to provide reference for optimization and popularization of medical cooperation system.Methods:Data of echinococcosis patients registered in Jimusar Center for Disease Control and Prevention from 2009 to 2018 were collected. The data of patients' medical records and follow-up information were collected by the principle of double entry. The research methods of combining quantitative and qualitative methods were applied to investigate the baseline of patient prevention and treatment system (including regional distribution, education level, recurrence, follow-up medication, etc). Follow-up was conducted on the whole treatment process of echinococcosis patients in the pilot counties, and comparative analysis was made on the treatment situation before and after the use of medical cooperation system. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the indicators that might affect the follow-up effect. Semistructured questionnaire survey was used to analyze the implementation effect of the medical cooperation system.Results:Patients were mainly distributed in rural areas (81.48%, 154/189), mostly in high schools and below (94.18%, 178/189), 39.68% (75/189) were relapsed and treated again, and 68.25% (129/189) were treated with non-standard medication. Influencing factors of effective follow-up medication in echinococcosis patients showed that patients with no side effects, abnormal liver function during follow-up, two or more times of B-ultrasound examination and multiple cysts had higher effective follow-up medication rate ( P < 0.01 or < 0.05). After the implementation of the integrated medical cooperation system, the proportion of unknown stages of diagnosis of cystic echinococcosis in Jimusar County decreased by 60.18%. The pilot counties initially formed a management model of echinococcosis patients based on outpatient, disease control and health centers. Conclusions:Echinococcosis patients have high recurrence rate in Jimusar County, and the effective follow-up medication rate is low. The medical cooperation system for echinococcosis patients in Xinjiang is explored, and the working mechanism of medical institutions linked with disease control institutions is formed. The working model suggestion is put forward, which could provide a scientific basis for further promotion and comprehensive evaluation of the medical cooperation system.
