Objective:
To evaluate the relationship between air pollutants and mortality of residents in Huairou District, Beijing, providing a basis for the formulation of air pollution control measures.
Methods :
The data of daily deaths, meteorological factors and air pollutants in Huairou District from 2014 to 2018 were collected from Beijing Disease Prevention Monitoring Information Integration and Analysis System, Huairou Meteorological Bureau and Environmental Monitoring Station. The generalized additive models were used to analyze the relationship between the average daily concentration of air pollutants and the daily deaths.
Results:
The medians of daily average concentrations of SO2, NO2, CO, O3, PM10 and PM2.5 were 5.00 μg/m3, 24.00 μg/m3, 0.71 mg/m3, 77.27 μg/m3, 64.25 μg/m3 and 44.13 μg/m3, respectively. Except for O3, the daily average concentrations of SO2, NO2, CO, PM10 and PM2.5 showed decreasing trends from 2014 to 2018. An increase of 10 μg/m3 of NO2 resulted in an elevation of 1.69% ( 95%CI: 0.31%-3.08% ) , 3.31% ( 95%CI: 1.24%-5.42% ) and 3.31% ( 95%CI: 0.51%-6.19% ) for non-accidental death in the whole population, females and people under 65 years old, respectively, with a delay of 2 days (lag2). For every 10 μg/m3 increase in the daily average concentrations of CO and PM2.5, the risk of non-accidental death among people under 65 years old at lag2 increased by 0.08% ( 95%CI: 0.01%-0.14% ) and 0.88% ( 95%CI: 0.12%-1.64% ) , respectively. For every 10 μg/m3 increase in daily average concentration of O3, there was 0.69% ( 95%CI: 0.02%-1.36% ) increase in daily male non-accidental death risk at lag4. The results of the multi-pollutant model showed that after adjusting the effects of the other two air pollutants, NO2, CO and PM2.5 had no statistically significant effects on the daily non-accidental deaths of people under 65 years old at lag2 ( P>0.05 ) .
Conclusion
The ambient NO2, CO, O3 and PM2.5 pollution increase daily non-accidental deaths, which shows a lag effect.

Objective To explore the quality of life and the related factors in adult epilepsy patients in rural areas of Gansu province. Methods The Quality of Life in the Epilepsy-31 Inventory Chinese version (QOLIE-31) were used to evaluate the quality of life in 154 epilepsy patients and 149 healthy controls. The relationship of demographic variables (gender, age, marital status, profession and education, etc.) and clinical variables (age of onset, duration, type of seizures, seizure frequency and medication, etc.) with the quality of life were analyzed in patients. Results Compared with the con?trol group, the QOLIE-31 score was significantly lower in epileptic group [(47.63±7.74) vs. (52.28±5.75), P<0.05]. There was no significant difference in the patients' QOLIE-31 score between difference ages, genders, marital status, occupa?tions, and educations (P>0.05). The differences of patients' QOLIE-31 score were significantly different between differ?ent incomes, medication types of epilepsy (P<0.05). The patient's family income (β=3.115, P=0.002) and the type of medi?cation (β=3.261, P=0.027) were factors affecting their quality of life. Conclusion The quality of life in adult patients with epilepsy is lower. Economic status of family and the number of drug type significantly affects the quality of life in patients. Reasonable drug choice to treat seizure and reduce the economic burden of the family are effective measures to improve the quality of life of patients with epilepsy.

Although alterations in fatty acid composition of phospholipids in plasma membranes had no effect on activities of plasma membrane ATPases of a self-flocculating fusant of Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells grown in the absence of ethanol (basal enzymes), they significantly affected the susceptibilities of the enzymes to in vivo activation induced by ethanol: the maximal values for the activated enzymes in cells pregrown with 0.6 mmol/L palmitic, linoleic or linolenic acid respectively were 3.6, 1.5 and 1.2-fold higher than their respective basal levels (in cells grown without ethanol), whereas the corresponding value for cells pregrown in the absence of fatty acid was 2.3-fold, with the concentrations of ethanol for the above maximal in vivo activation of enzymes being 7%, 6%, 6% and 7% (V/V) respectively. The Km values for ATP, the pH profiles, and the sensitivities to orthovanadate of the basal and the activated plasma membrane ATPases were essentially identical; however, the v(max) values of activated enzymes increased significantly. It was found that the characteristics of phospholipid fatty acid composition of plasma membrane leading to the enhanced ethanol tolerance of this strain, were also efficacious to increase the percentage of activation of plasma membrane ATPase per unit of ethanol. These data support a close correlation between the ethanol tolerance of this strain and the sensitivity of its plasma membrane ATPase to the in vivo ethanol-induced activation.

Ca2+ at 1.64 mmol/L markedly increased ethanol tolerance of a self-flocculating fusant of Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. After 9 h of exposure to 20% (V/V) ethanol at 30 degrees C , no viability remained for the control whereas 50.0% remained for the cells both grown and incubated with ethanol in Ca2+ -added medium. Furthermore, when subjected to 15% (V/V) ethanol at 30 degrees C, the equilibrium nucleotide concentration and plasma membrane permeability coefficient (P' ) of the cells both grown and incubated with ethanol in Ca2+ -added medium accounted for only 50.0% and 29.3% those of the control respectively, indicating that adding Ca2+ can markedly reduce plasma membrane permeability of yeast cells under ethanol stress as compared with the control. Meanwhile, high viability levels acquired by the addition of Ca2+ exactly corresponded to the striking decreases in extracellular nucleotide concentration and P' achieved with identical approach. Therefore, the enhancing effect of Ca2+ on ethanol tolerance of this strain is closely related to its ability to decrease plasma membrane permeability of yeast cells subjected to ethanol stress.
