Objective In order to understand the quality of drinking water sources and the environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway areas. Methods In 2002-2004, the first and second phase of the project of Qinghai-Tibet Railway, 37 sampling sites were chosen in the dry and rainy seasons and the water samples were analyzed according to the national standard test methods. Results In the first phase of the project, the eligible rates of the 39 test indexes of the water sources of 23 sampling sites in the Qinghai-Tibet Railway areas were 82%-95% in the dry season and some decreased in the rainy season. In the second phase, the eligible rates of the test indexes of the water sources of 14 sampling sites were 50%-100% in dry season and in the rainy season, the trend was the same as in the first phase. Conclusion Among the 37 water resources in the Qinghai-Tibet railway areas,the percent of gradeⅠ, gradeⅡ, grade Ⅲ and above grade Ⅲ water source was 67.57%,13.51%,2.70% and 16.22% respectively, some water sources can not be used as the drinking water sources due to the bad quality.

The patients with cor pulmonale in release stage have been treated and cared with many methods.The results showed that there are obvious recuperatio of respiratory symptoms and lung function and evident strength of the immune function of the body and movement of diaphragm in the patients of treatment group with cor pulmonale compared with control group.The studies suggested that the rehabilitation treatment and care plays an important role in treating patients with cor pulmonale,particularly postponing and prevention acute attack.

Objective: To investigate the effect of a free pit and fissure sealing program for caries prevention on first permanent molars (six-year molars) in Haizhu District, Guangzhou, three years after its implementation in 2019. The study aims to provide a reference for the future development of pit and fissure sealing programs for children’s first permanent molars and the effective prevention and treatment of permanent tooth caries in children. Methods: A random sampling method was used. In 2022 October, 270 sixth-grade primary-school students in Haizhu District, Guangzhou, who had participated in the free pit and fissure sealing program for their first permanent molars in 2019, were placed in the sealant group. Another 223 age-matched students from the same schools who met the criteria for the pit and fissure sealing but did not participate in the program were placed in the control group. The first permanent molars of students in both groups were examined. The retention status of the sealant and the caries status of the first permanent molars were recorded for the sealant group, and the caries status of the first permanent molars was recorded for the control group. The 2022 results were compared with the results of a prior pit and fissure sealing program implemented in Haizhu District in 2011, three years after its implementation. Results: Compared with the control group, the caries rate in the sealant group decreased (15.56% vs. 21.52%, P>0.05), the caries detection rate was significantly lower (6.12% vs. 9.00%, P<0.001), and the mean number of decayed teeth was significantly reduced (0.19 vs. 0.37, P<0.001). Compared with the results of the pit and fissure sealing program in Haizhu District in 2011 (in 2014, the retention rate of the first permanent molar sealant was 65.56%, the intact rate was 42.25%, and the protection rate was 38.34%), the results of the pit and fissure sealing program in Haizhu District in 2019 [in 2022, the retention rate of the first permanent molar sealant was 86.09% (P<0.001), the intact rate was 47.00% (P<0.001), and the protection rate was 51.97%] were improved. Conclusion The quality of the pit and fissure sealing program for the first permanent molars in Haizhu District, Guangzhou in 2019 was good. It reduced the caries detection rate, and the retention rate of the sealant was maintained at a high level. However, the intact rate was less than 50%; therefore, it is necessary to vigorously promote oral-health education and examinations in all age groups, and to be attentive to the re-examination and re-sealing of fissure sealants.

OBJECTIVES: To study the phenomenon of pulmonary hypostasis in corpses of various causes of death, and to explore the potential value of this phenomenon in assisting forensic pathological diagnosis of drowning. METHODS: A total of 235 cases with clear cause of death through systematic autopsy were collected from January 2011 to June 2021 in Guangzhou. According to the location of body discovery, the cases were divided into the water body group (97 cases) and the non-water body group (138 cases), and the water body group was further divided into the water drowning group (90 cases) and the water non-drowning group (7 cases). Non-water body group was further divided into the non-water drowning group (1 case) and the non-water non-drowning group (137 cases). Three senior forensic pathologists independently reviewed autopsy photos to determine whether there was hypostasis in the lungs. The detection rate of pulmonary hypostasis was calculated. RESULTS: The detection rate of pulmonary hypostasis in the water drowning group (90 cases) was 0, and the negative rate was 100%. The detection rate of pulmonary hypostasis in the water non-drowning group (7 cases) was 100% and the negative rate was 0. The detection rate of pulmonary hypostasis in the water body group and in the non-water body group (after excluding 2 cases, 136 cases were calculated) was 7.22% and 87.50%, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in the detection rate of pulmonary hypostasis between water body group and non-water body group, and between water drowning group and water non-drowning group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The disappearance of pulmonary hypostasis can be used as a specific cadaveric sign to assist in the forensic pathological diagnosis of drowning.
