A total of 3499 cases of influenza A (H1N1) were included in this study for analysis.Epidemiological and clinical data of these cases were input into EpiData software and analyzed by SPSS software. Throat swabs were collected from the cases and detected for nucleic acid of influenza A ( H1N1 )virus using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) with fluorescence quantitative method, and time of viral excretion and clinical features of the cases were analyzed. Results showed that 0. 37% of the cases were in-apparent and asymptomatic and the most common symptom of the cases was fever (86. 77% ).Throat swabs converted to negative on the sixth day of onset in average, and no factors related to the time of conversion was found with logistic regression analysis.

Objective To observe the illness change trend of drinking water type endemic arsenic poisoning in Qinghai Province, comprehensively evaluate the effect of prevention and control measures, in order to provide a scientific basis for timely adjustment of the prevention and control measures. Methods From 2010 to 2013, according to the Drinking Water Type Endemic Arsenic Poisoning Monitoring Programs, 3 villages in 2 counties within Qinghai Province were randomly selected as monitoring sites. The arsenic content in drinking water of residents was measured, water improvement projects in all monitoring villages were investigated; at the same time an investigation of arsenic disease in resident population was conducted, and urinary arsenic content was monitored. Arsenic in drinking water and urine was determined by hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry, and arsenic poisoning was diagnosed using Endemic Arsenic Poisoning Diagnostic Criteria (WS/T 211-2001). Results Of the three water improvement projects, two were water arsenic exceeded the standard, and one was intermittently operated. From 2010 to 2013, the arsenic poisoning detec tion rate in Baoning Village was 27.30% (193/707), 31.90%(245/768), 29.35%(221/753) and 28.22%(219/776); in Kecai Village was 32.62%(107/328), 34.83%(124/356), 31.26%(131/419) and 29.35%(118/402);and in Manimotai Village was 56.58%(43/76), 52.81%(47/89), 45.10%(46/102) and 34.69% (34/98), there was no significant difference statistically of the arsenic poisoning detection rates in the three monitored villages in the 4 years (χ2 =3.09, 0.04, 0.92, all P>0.05). From 2010 to 2013, women arsenic poisoning detection rate was 36.45%(203/557), 40.59%(246/606), 36.12%(225/623) and 34.77%(218/627), respectively;men was 25.27%(140/554), 28.01%(170/607), 26.57%(173/651) and 23.57%(153/649), respectively;women arsenic poisoning detection rates were higher than those of men (χ2 = 16.25, 21.32, 13.49, 19.38, all P < 0.05). Arsenic poisoning detection rate of people younger than 60 years old had a tendency to increase with age. In 2012 and 2013, 105 and 93 urine samples were tested, respectively; urinary arsenic geometric mean was 0.113 and 0.149 mg/L. Conclusions Water improvement projects and water quality are not optimistic, and prevalence of arsenic poisoning is still at a higher level. A sound long-term monitoring program should be established as soon as possible, the management and maintenance of water improvement projects should be strengthened, and the monitoring and prevention work should not be neglected.

Objective To evaluate smooth muscle protein of 22 kDa (SM22) in the diagnosis of acute intestinal ischemia.Methods 96 healthy adult SD rats were evenly divided into experimental group and control group,with each group subdivided into 6 subgroups,subject respectively to superior mesenteric artery ligation or sham operation.The venous blood samples were extracted from each group rats' right heart atO.5,1,2,4,8,12 h after the operation,for SM22 testing and small intestines tissues for direct immunofluorescence staining of SM22.Results The serum SM22 concentration reached a peak at 4 h (265 ± 15) mg/L,then gradually decreased (P ＜ 0.05).The I-FABP was mainly expressed in the epithelium of intestinal mucosa.During the 4 hours of intestinal ischemia,The number of SM22 positive particles did not change.After 4 hours,the number of SM22 positive granules had gradually decreased compared with the control group (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion SM22 mainly exists in the smooth muscle of intestinal,during the ischemic necrosis of the intestinal muscle layer SM22 leaks into blood stream,resulting in high serum levels of SM22 facilitating early diagnosis of acute intestinal ischemia.
