Objective To disuss the clinic characteristics,the etiologies and the misdiagnosis cause of hyperthyroidism featuring in vomit mainly.Methods The clinic data of 35 hyperthyroids featuring in vomit mainly were reviewed and analyzed.Results The hyperthyroids in this group were middle-aged female mainly whose symptoms showd that they vomit frequently with abdominal distention,thin,inappetence,chest congestion,palpitation;tachycardia;hypohepatia and electrolyte disturbance.Furthermore,their thyroid gland function assay is in concordance with the hyperthyroidism diagnosis.Treatment for antihyperthyroidism can get remarkable effects.Conclusion The patient showing vomit of unknown origin may be taken into account as hyperthyroid.The key points to prevent misdiagnosis are to detect thyroid gland function in time and to improve the understanding for un-typical hyperthyroidism.

Objective To investigate the association between albuminuria incidence and blood pressure (BP) level or body weight index (BMI) in patients with essential hypertension from five regions in China. Methods A total of 5021 non-diabetic patients with clearly diagnosed essential hypertension were enrolled in our study. The participants came from five cities in China.Urinary albumin/creatinine ratio was measured in these patients for two times. The associations of albuminuria with BP level and BMI were analyzed. Results (1)There was no significant difference of albuminuria incidence between ＜60-year-old and ≥60-year-old patients. The longer the hypertension exited, the higher the albuminuria incidence was. (2) The albuminuria incidence was associated with blood pressure level significantly. The urinary protein excretion increased with the level of blood pressure. The albuminuria incidences in patients with normal BP, upper range of normal BP, Ⅰ , Ⅱ or Ⅲ stage hypertension were 26.3%, 27.3%, 28.7%, 31.5% and 40.3% respectively. (3) The albuminuria incidence was significantly different in patients with uncontrolled BP (≥ 140/90 mm Hg) compared with those with well controlled BP (＜ 140/90 mm Hg) (27.1% vs 30.2%, P＜0.05 ). (4) The albuminuria incidence was higher in obese patients compared with those with normal BMI at same BP level, but the difference was not statistically significant. (5) Patients with albuminuria had more cardiocerebral or renal events as compared to those without proteinuria. Conclusions The albuminuria incidence of non-diabetic hypertensive patients from 5 cities in China is 28.8%, of which the microalbuminuria incidence is 18.6% and the clinical albuminuria incidence is 10.2%. Uncontrolled BP is an important risk factor of proteinuria.

Objective To understand the potential impact of south-north water transfer project on transmission and distribution of Schistosomiasis japonica, and to put forward the countermea-sures of prevention of the disease transferring into other places. Methods The information on the progress of south-north water transfer project and factors related to the distribution of Schistosoma juponicum were collected, and the suggestions on improving the countermeasures were obtained through the group discussions and field visits. Results The potential impact of the project on the disease transferring is existed, mainly the disease transferring will be through the Lixia River basin in Jiangsu Province, and Chaohu areas of Anhui Province in the east route, and Sihu areas of Hubei Province in the middle route. The snail transferring northward will be affected both by the project and global warming, as a result, the endemic areas of Schistosomiasis will probably transfer into the Hongzehu and Chaohu areas in the future. Conclusion In the east route of the project, if the project is not combined with Schistosomiasis control, the endemic areas of Schistosomiasis will extend into other regions, the loss in the society and economy will be very large.

Road traffic accidents (RTA) can cause a large number of casualties and property losses. Driving fatigue is one of the important factors leading to RTA. Electrophysiological signals, as a kind of information feedback for the nervous system to regulate body functions, can reflect drivers’ fatigue state. However, there is a lack of systematic reviews on the current research on electrophysiological signals as information input of machine learning methods for driving fatigue recognition. By investigating fatigue-related literature, the current paper summarized the neural regulation mechanism of fatigue, clarified that driving fatigue is caused by both psychological and physiological loads, recognized inducing factors related to driving fatigue, and summed up electrophysiological signals now in use of driving fatigue recognition, as well as their physiological mechanisms and related indicators. Machine learning algorithms are widely used in identifying driving fatigue. Based on existing studies that used electrophysiological signals as information input source and applied various machine learning algorithms to build driving fatigue identification models, this paper compared the effectiveness of various machine learning algorithms, and described the advantages and disadvantages of supervised machine learning. It is pointed out that suitable classification algorithms should be selected according to sample conditions and model eigenvalues when applied to driving fatigue recognition. In addition, a variety of electrophysiological signals as information sources can help improve the accuracy of a fatigue recognition model, but the increase of model input eigenvalues cannot. Finally, the research progress of identification methods based on electrophysiological signals provided new opportunities for identifying driving fatigue.

This paper summarized the clinical experience of professor XUAN Guowei in treating non-specific vulvitis from spleen. He believes that the core pathological mechanism of this condition lies in spleen deficiency and dampness accumulation； in the acute phase， spleen deficiency is taken as the root cause and damp-heat toxins accumulated in the vulva as the key； in the chronic phase， spleen deficiency and dampness accumulation is the main pathogenesis， accompanied by kidney deficiency. In clinical practice， the basic method of fortifying spleen and eliminating dampness is used， and self-made Jianpi Shenshi Formula （健脾渗湿方） is recommended as the basic prescription. During the acute phase， the medicinals of clearing heat and resolving toxins are supplemented， while during the chronic phase， medicinals aims at fortifying the spleen and consolidating the kidneys， boosting qi and nourishing yin are added. Simultaneously， there is an emphasis on integrated treatment combining internal and external treatment， and both Chinese and western medicine， and he highlights the importance of daily prevention and care for patients. Additionally， external used Xiaoyan Zhiyang Cream （消炎止痒霜） is created.

AIM: To investigate the pharmacokinetic properties of the main active components of Dalitong extract in SD rats after oral administration using UPLC-MS / MS. METHODS: An UPLC-MS / MS method was established to simultaneously detect tetrahydropalmatine, nobiletin and costunolide in the plasma and tissues of SD rats. The method was applied to investigate the pharmacokinetic characteristics and tissue distribution. RESULTS: After a single oral administration, the three active components were rapidly absorbed into the body, with a peak concentration (Cmax) of (13.73 ± 7.50), (27.01 ± 17.69) and (6.73 ± 29.94) ng / mL for tetrahydropalmatine, nobiletin, and costunolide, respectively. The time to reach the peak concentration (Tmax) was (1.40 ± 0.93), (0.63 ± 0.28) and (2.38 ± 8.81) h, respectively. The area under the curve (AUC) was (80.43±40.03), (41.30±28.69) and (303.90 ± 136.69) ng · h · mL
