Objectives To study the impacts of air temperature and the other weather factors on the daily mortality of the residents in cities for targeting the preventive measures to decrease the excess mortality induced by climate change.Methods The daily mortality and weather surveillance data were provided by Chongqing Center for Disease Control and Prevention and China Meteorological Bureau respectively.The correlation between the weather factors(temperature,humidity,air pressure,rainfall,wind speed) and the daily mortality of residents in a county of Chongqing were analyzed by using the Poisson GAM of time series(increased by 1℃ for air temperate,decreased by 1% for relative humidity and one unit for air pollution index) adjusting for the secular trend,seasonal trend,short-term fluctuation and day of week.Results The excess mortality increased to 12% as the temperature increased 1℃.The excess mortality increased to 4% and 0.6% respectively as the relative humidity decreased 1% and the air pollution index increased one unit.Conclusion High temperature,with humidity and air pollution,will cause increased excess mortality of residents in this county

Indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) using frozen sections of Brugia malayi adult worms as antigen was employed in the diagnosis and epidemiological investigation of human filariasis. Sera were collected from 704 cases with bancroftian or malayan microfilaremia. the positive rate was 92.8-99.1%. Of 150 healthy people from non-endemic areas, only one showed a positive reaction (false positive rate 0.7%) (Table 1). This technique proved to be highly sensitive and specific for the diagnosis of filariasis and the antigen is easy to prepare. It might be used in sero-epidemiological investigation for the assessment of filariasis control.

OBJECTIVE To investigate dopamine level changes in the Nucleus Accumbens (NAc) of the limbic system by salicylate and the role of dopamine in the mechanisms of tinnitus.METHODS We recorded the change of dopamine before and after sodium salicylate injection in rats by microdialysis combined with electrochemical methodologies in the nucleus accumbens (NAc).RESULTS Salicylate produced significant increase in dopamine level in the NAc, to a maximum of (321±97)% of baseline and then remain stable. In contrast, saline only produced slight increase.CONCLUSION The increase of dopamine in the NAc may be related to the generation of tinnitus. The data in vivo provide direct evidence of the important role that the dopaminergic system plays in the generation of tinnitus.

Aim To study pharmacokinetics and bioavailablity of domestic penicillin V dispersion tablet in healthy volunteers. Methods According to the crossover design, each volunteer in two groups was orally given a single dose ( 0.75 g ) of domestic penicillin V dispersion tablet or imported penicillinV tablet alternately and the plasma concentrations were determined by RP HPLC. The pharmacokinetic parameters were obtained by using ATPK program and calculated on the basis of open single compartment model. Results After a single oral dose( 0.75 g ), the t 1/2(ke) was ( 0.75 ? 0.10 ) h and ( 0.70 ? 0.14 ) h ,the c max was( 8.44 ? 2.40 ) mg?L -1 and ( 8.75 ? 3.04 ) mg?L -1 at ( 0.56 ? 0.11 ) h and ( 0.63 ? 0.17 ) h and AUC 0~4 was( 8.44 ? 2.40 ) mg?h?L -1 and ( 8.75 ? 3.04 ) mg?h?L -1 for two formulations, respectively. Relative bioavailability of domestic penicillin V dispersion tablet was ( 90.50 ? 8.84 )%. Conclusion The result shows that the two formulations are bioequivalent.

Objective To observe the role of clinical pathway method of teaching in the new nurses pre-job standardization training, and provide evidence for the exploration of scientific teaching methods. Methods Make training manual for new nurses on the basis of clinical path model. New nurses were assigned randomly to clinical pathway group (29 cases) and control group (28 cases). The clinical pathway and effective quality supervision were adopted in clinical pathway group, and the traditional teaching method were adopted in control group. The level of theory, basic skills, professional skills were evaluated, and satisfaction of teaching method and self-assessment were collected and analyzed. Results The results of theory, basic skills, and professional skills in clinical pathway group were (89.41 ± 5.07), (95.28 ± 2.96), (93.10 ± 2.86) points, and those in control group were (80.92 ± 7.64), (89.82 ± 3.77), (85.57 ± 5.33) points, the differences were significant (t=4.792, 6.083, 6.682, P=0.000).The number of satisfaction of teaching method was 28 cases in clinical pathway group and 22 cases in control group, the difference was significant (Z=38.316, P=0.000). Learning motivation, the ability of autonomous learning, communication, problem analyzing and solving, critical thinking, and the nursing behavior standardization in the self-assessment part in clinical pathway group were all better than those in the control group, the differences were significant (Z=-3.938~-2.143, P<0.01 or 0.05). Conclusions The application of clinical pathway method in new nurses pre-job training could effectively improve the level of theory, basic skills and professional skills, increase their satisfaction of teaching method and self-assessment.

Emblic medicine is a popular natural source in the world due to its outstanding healthcare and therapeutic functions. Our preliminary results indicated that the quality of emblic medicines might have an apparent regional variation. A rapid and effective geographical traceability system has not been designed yet. To trace the geographical origins so that their quality can be controlled, an integrated spectroscopic strategy including spectral pretreatment, outlier diagnosis, feature selection, data fusion, and machine learning algorithm was proposed. A featured data matrix (245 × 220) was successfully generated, and a carefully adjusted RF machine learning algorithm was utilized to develop the geographical traceability model. The results demonstrate that the proposed strategy is effective and can be generalized. Sensitivity (SEN), specificity (SPE) and accuracy (ACC) of 97.65%, 99.85% and 97.63% for the calibrated set, as well as 100.00% predictive efficiency, were obtained using this spectroscopic analysis strategy. Our study has created an integrated analysis process for multiple spectral data, which can achieve a rapid, nondestructive and green quality detection for emblic medicines originating from seventeen geographical origins.

Objective:To explore the association between resting heart rate(RHR) and all-cause mortality among the Chinese oldest-old aged more than 80.Methods:Using a total of seven surveys or follow-ups data (1998, 2000, 2002, 2005, 2008, 2011 and 2014) from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS). A total of 17 886 elderly over 80 years old were selected as subjects, their resting heart rate were measured though baseline survey and the survival outcome and death time of the subjects were followed up. The subjects were divided into 6 groups according to their resting heart rate. Cox regression model was used to estimate the effect of resting heart rate on mortality risk. The interaction of age, gender and resting heart rate was also analyzed by likelihood ratio test.Results:The age of subjects M( P25, P75) was 92 (86, 100) years old, including 10 531 females (58.9%) and there were 13 598 participants died, the mortality rate was 195.5 per 1 000 person-years. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that compared to the control group (60-69 pbm/min), the hazard ratio of the elderly are 1.06 (95% CI: 1.02, 1.11), 1.09 (95% CI: 1.04, 1.15), 1.23 (95% CI: 1.14, 1.34), 1.25 (95% CI: 1.08, 1.44) in the group of RHR between 70-79, 80-89, 90-99 and ≥100 pbm/min and Pvalues are all less than 0.05. Likelihood ratio test showed that RHR and age had an interaction effect. ( P for interaction=0.011). Conclusion:The risk of all-cause death increased with the increase of resting heart rate and this relationship was stronger between the 80-89 years old people.
