Objective:To describe the secular trends of premarital medical examination ( PME ) in China during 1996 and 2013 and to assess the impacts of national health policies on the PME rate. Methods:The information on marriage and PME for districts and counties in 31 provinces of China was annually collected by the Office for National Maternal & Child Health Statistics of China, and the infor-mation on the health policies was from official governmental websites. According to the main health poli-cies, the calendar years were categorized into 3 periods:1996 to 2003 was mandatory PME period;2004 to 2008 was encouraged voluntary PME period; and 2009 to 2013 was free-paid voluntary PME period. Results: During the 18-year period, 284 242 719 people were registered for a marriage in which 107 198 795 were examined, giving the PME rate of 37. 7%. During the mandatory PME period, the rate ranged 52 . 7% -67 . 7% with an average of 60 . 9% ( urban 71 . 5%, and rural 51 . 7%) . In 2004 , the first year when the PME became voluntary, the rate was abruptly dropped to 2. 6%, and thereafter gradually increased to 11 . 5% in 2008 . As the policies of the free-paid voluntary PME were subsequently issued, the rate was quickly increased to 52. 3% (urban 49. 8%, and rural 54. 6%) in 2013. The in-creasing trend was consistently observed both in urban and rural areas, and across East, Middle, West, and Northeast economical regions. However, the rates differed greatly among provinces. In 2013, 5 pro-vinces had rates of >90% ( Guangxi 97 . 5%, Fujian 96 . 0%, Ningxia 95 . 4%, Zhejiang 93 . 4% and Anhui 90. 1%), whereas some provinces were stuck at a low rate, including developed and underdeve-loped provinces/cities. The PME rate in 2013 was 27. 4% for Shanghai, 25. 5% for Guangdong, 12. 4%for Chongqing, 5. 8% for Beijing and 4. 6% for Tianjin. Underdeveloped provinces were Guizhou (6. 4%) and Qinghai (1. 8%). Conclusion:As various national policies to promote voluntary PME were issued, the PME rate was significantly increased after a sharp decline, though it varied greatly by provinces. For provinces with high PME rate, PME-related health benefits need to be evaluated;for provinces with low rate, it is of important practical significance to explore a cost-effective health service model that is likely incorporated with pre-pregnancy examination.

Objective For decreasing the infected rate,the prevention and cure methods of intracranial infections following posterior fossa craniotomy were study. Methods Twenty-eight patients with the intracranial infections following posterior fossa craniotomy were examined by lumbar puncture,and analyzed cerebrospinal fluid with routine examination and reference to the bacteriological data and drug sensitive tests. All the patients were treated with high dosage sensitive antibiotics, and draining continually the infected cerebrospinal fluid by lumbar puncture catheterization and injected small dosages of antibiotics into intraspinal for most cases. Results Twenty-eight patients had intracranial hypertension by lumbar puncture examination, outcome of cerebrospinal fluid culture indicated that 17 cases had bacteria growth and 11 cases had no bacteria. The intracranial infection was controlled effectively,and 96.4%(27 cases) were cured, 1 case dead of systemic failure. Conclusions Strict aseptic techniques,reduce operative time,decrease intracranial place of foreign matters, such as gelfoam, hemostatic gauze and artificial implants, could reduce the possibilities of intracranial infections. Appropriate antibiotics selection,lumbar puncture catheterization and intraspinal administration of antibiotics can cure intracranial infections effectively.

[ABSTRACT]OBJECTIVETo study of the relationship of age and climate with the nasal mucosa lesions.METHODSAll the patients met with the inclusive criteria were registered and followed-up once a month and their nasal mucosal lesions were observed through nasal speculum and/or nasal endoscope. The recording data was analyzed by SPSS17.0 software.RESULTSA total of 259 patients, 555 person-times and 957 lesion spots were observed. The nasal mucosa was injured by airflow with the highest incidence rate from October to next year April. Patients numbers gradually increased after August, and significantly increased at November, December (P<0.05). Children aged from 2 to 12 years old and the adults aged from 40 to 80 years old were susceptible population (P<0.05), the incidence rate had a negative relation with humidity (P<0.05). The susceptible spots of the lesion were ranked as follows: Little area, inferior turbinate, mucosa of the both side of the deviated nasal septum, inferior meatus, middle meatus, middle turbinate and olfactory area. CONCLUSIONNasal mucosal injury relates to age and seasons. The nasal cavity airflow may be a factor of these lesions.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the organ damage character and complications of blunt trauma in the neck, and the advantage and disadvantage of CT and ultrasound for blunt trauma in the neck.
METHOD:
The data of 7 neck blunt trauma cases was analyzed. Cricoarytenoid joint reduction, tracheotomy, exploratory surgery of neck were performed respectively for these cases.
RESULT:
Of the 2 cases with vocal cord paralysis, one had his vocal cords fixed in the the para-median position. one had his vocal cords move freely. 2 cases of epiglottis edema had been cured. Among the 2 cases of thyroid area swelling and congestion, one died from respiratory failure, one was cured. One case died of carotid artery embolism.
CONCLUSION
Circulation of the head should be noticed as well as keeping respiratory tract clear and anti-shock treatment. Some patient with negative laryngeal examinations might get worse in the following hours, and swelling of the neck, dyspnea, obnubilation may appear in these cases. Dynamic monitoring could be helpful for the diagnosis and treatment of neck blunt trauma.

Objective:
To investigate the relationship between the epidemic of Coronavirus Disease in 2019 (COVID-19) in China and population migration from Wuhan before the city implemented strict migration restrictions.
Methods:
We collected the cumulative number of confirmed cases with COVID-19 up to January 31, 2020 from the official website of the health administrative departments, and information on population migration out of Wuhan during January 10, 2020 and January 24, 2020, approximately half months prior to the implementation of strict migration restrictions by the city, from Baidu population-migration big data platform. Population migration data were provided for the top 100 cities in the form of percentage values, calculated as the number of migrants from Wuhan into these cities divided by the total number of migrants out of Wuhan during the same period multiplied by 100%. The two-independent sample non-parametric Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used to compare the distribution of cumulative number of cases between the top 100 cities and the remaining 205 non-top 100 cities of China. The relationship between the cumulative number of cases and the percentage of migrants from Wuhan into the top 100 cities were further assessed by Pearson correlation and by multiple linear regression with adjustment for population size, population density, and GDP per capita.
Results:
The top 100 cities accounted for 91.6% of total migrants out of Wuhan, and the top 14 cities were all in Hubei province. There were a total of 5,869 cases in the top 100 cities, with a median (interquartile range) of 21.5 (12~55) cases, whereas in the 205 non-top 100 cities there were a total of 1,063 cases, with a median (interquartile range) of 4 (2~7) cases. The median cumulative number of cases differed significantly between the two types of cities (

Objective:
To evaluate the effects of extended nursing mode on the asthmatic children with allergic rhinitis (AR).
Methods:
Totally116 children aged 6-14 years old with asthma and AR were enrolled to this study from November 2015 to October 2016 in our hospital. They were divided into the regular nursing group and the extended nursing group according to the voluntary principle. The patients in regular nursing group were received routine nursing care in or out of hospital, while the patients in extended nursing group received extended care besides routine nursing. The children were required to record diary about asthma and AR And participate in asthma action projects. Before and after intervention we observed the quantitative score of symptoms and signs, the times of acute attack, the times of oblivion medication, the average days of stay in hospital, the days of fail to School or kindergarten, the lung function and the fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) in children with asthma and AR within 1 year. These above marks were assessed five times respectively at starting (baseline) , 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months (1 year) The differences between two groups were compared with appropriate statistical methods.
Results:
1 year later, out of 58 cases in extended nursing group, 40 patients (68.97%)were in good control and 18 cases (31.03%) in partial control. Out of 58 cases in regular nursing group, 22 cases (37.93%) were in good control and 36 patients (62.07%) in partial control. There were significant differences between two groups in the effect of disease (

OBJECTIVE:
To improve the diagnostic and therapeutic efficiency for secondary laryngeal tuberculosis through an analysis on the clinical features of patients with this disease.
METHOD:
A retrospective study was made among 49 cases with laryngeal tuberculosis treated in Tibetan General Hospital of Chinese PLA, and the clinical data were carefully analyzed to summarize the clinical experience of this disease.
RESULT:
Of 49 patients, 24 cases had 1 year history, 11 cases had 1 to 3 years, 9 cases had 3 to 5 years, 5 cases had 5 years or more. Thirty-eight patients had the history of tuberculosis and 11 had none. Thirty-four patients had taken anti-tuberculosis drugs but none had standard therapy as demanded. All cases had mild general symptoms (mild fever, night sweats, weight loss, et al) and atypical local symptoms (hoarseness, sore throat). Therefore, 42 cases were misdiagnosed as non-specific chronic laryngitis, of which 15 cases got worse after oral administration or inhaling of steroid hormones. Seven persons were misdiagnosed as laryngeal cancer. All patients were confirmed pulmonary tuberculosis by X ray exam or CT scanning. Twelve cases had strong positive PPD tests and 2 cases were detected positive by sputum smear. All patients was treated by standard systematic and local chemical therapy against tuberculosis (inhaling of antituberculosis drugs for 1 to 2 months). All were cured but one died in a road accident, and none had recurrence after 1- to 9- year follow-up.
CONCLUSION
All of those the patients with long period hoarseness and sore throat should take chest CT scan or X-ray exam for the highest incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis at high altitudes. CT scanning is the prefer for its high resolution. Pathological biopsy and diagnostic therapy should be taken to make accurate diagnosis. Usually steroid hormones should not be recommended.
