Objective To summarize the risk factors of head up tilt test (HUTT) in children with vasovagal syncope,and provide theoretical reference for the diagnosis of vasovagal syncope.Methods The total of 340 children with headache and syncope were included in the study,all the cases received HUTT,including basic tilt table test and sublingual nitroglycerin test.And they were divided into HUTT positive group and HUTT negative group according to the results.The clinical information of two groups was analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression to summarize risk factors.Results The frequency of syncope in HUTT positive group was 2.3 ± 1.1,significantly higher than that in HUTT negative group (0.7 ±0.2),chest tightness and blurred vision ratios were significandy higher than those in HUTT negative group (84/186,48/186 vs.34/154,23/154).Single factor analysis showed,older than 12 years old,female,blurred vision,with history and genetic history of syncope,numerous of syncope,chest tightness,fatigue were related factors as positive results for HUTT.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed,older than 12 years old,female,with history and genetic history of syncope were independent risk factors of positive HUTF.β was 0.744,1.126,1.312,0.514 respectively,95% CI was 1.132-5.968,1.985-5.040,1.366-9.677,1.683-6.532 respectively.Conclusion Age,gender,family history,history of syncope have important significance to predict HUTT results.

Objective To know drinking water quality in the rural areas of Jiangxi province and to provide a scientific basis for making the policy of water improvement.Methods In 2007,twenty-two counties in Jiangxi Province were chosen to investigate the drinking water quality in the rural areas(the types of water source,the ways of water supply,drinking water treatments and population).There were 10-11 monitoring sites in each county.In the dry season(March to May) and wet season(August to October),the water samples were collected,conserved,analyzed and evaluated.Results Of 8 726 568 rural population,16.76% used central water supply taking river water as the water source,83.24%used separate water supply using the shallow and deep layer groundwater as the water source.88.52%of the people consumed the water which was not treated.In wet season and dry season,221 water samples were collected respectively,surface water and groundwater accounted for 21.27%and 78.73% respectively,43.89%and 51.58%of the water samples reached the drinking water standard respectively.In wet season and dry season,the eligible rate of water using surface water as the water source was 63.83%and 59.57%respectively,and it was 38.51% and 49.43%in using groundwater as the water source.In wet season and dry season,the eligible rate of central water supply was 62.79%and 64.84%respectively,it was 31.85%and 42.31%in separate water supply.The total colony count,total coli group,pH, nitrate nitrogen,manganese,iron,arsenic and fluoride were often seen exceeded the related limit.Conclusion The central water supply is not used so widely and microorganism contamination in drinking water is still a main problem in drinking water safety.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of nutritional support with low carbohydrate formula (Pulmocare, Abbott, America) in patients with pulmenary disease and respiratory failure. Methods: 60 patients were randomly divided into control group and study group. The study group was given Pulmocare and the control group was given Ensure (standard enteral nutrition,Abbott, America). The lipidemia, serum protein, PaCO 2 ,PaO 2 ,VO 2 ,VCO 2 and RQ were measured before and after therapy. Results: The patients' nutritional status of the two groups was improved significantly. The index of artery blood gas analysis was significantly improved( P

ObjectiveTo monitor the microbes in urban drinking water in Jiangxi from 2016 to 2020, to analyze the change in microbial qualification rate, and to provide a scientific basis for government decision-making. MethodsAccording to the Standard Examination Method for Drinking Water (GB/T 5750‒2006) and the Standards for Drinking Water Quality (GB 5749‒2006), the water samples were collected, tested and evaluated for hygienic safety. The chi-square test was used to compare the qualification rates among different water periods, water source types, water supply modes, water samples, treatment processes, and disinfection methods. ResultsA total of 10 584 water samples were collected and examined from 2016 to 2020,with a qualification rate of 97.72%. The qualified rate of the microbiological index increased gradually over the years. There was no statistically significant difference in the microbiological qualification rate of water samples monitored in different water periods (χ2=0.718,P=0.398), and the qualification rates were 97.85% and 97.60% in dry and abundant water periods respectively. There was a statistically significant difference in the qualification rates of water samples monitored in different water source types (χ2=79.560,P=0.398), with groundwater having a higher qualification rate of 98.83% than surface water (97.70%). The microbiological pass rate of water samples differed among different water supply methods (χ2=201.836,P<0.001). The microbiological pass rates of municipal centralized water supply, self-built centralized water supply and secondary water supply were 97.51%, 88.94% and 96.56% respectively. The microbiological pass rates of water samples differed among different treatment processes. There were differences in the qualification rates of the water samples between different treatment processes(χ2=855.034,P<0.001), with 98.22%, 67.19%, 95.60% and 53.13% of the conventionally treated, precipitated filtered, disinfected only and untreated water samples, respectively. The differences in the microbiological qualification rates of the monitored water samples between different disinfection methods were statistically significant (χ2=904.993,P<0.001). Chlorination disinfection, chlorine dioxide disinfection, other disinfection methods and non-disinfected water samples had the pass rates of 98.35%, 98.19%, 84.38% and 60.16%, respectively. ConclusionThe qualified rate of the microbiological index of drinking water in Jiangxi increases year by year, but there are still some drinking water without appropriate disinfectants and water quality treatment processes. There is still a need to strengthen the purification, disinfection and monitoring of drinking water.
