Journal of Preventive Medicine 2022;34(3):297-301
Objective:
To investigate the trends in mortality of injury among elderly populations at ages of 60 years and greater in Huzhou City from 2010 to 2020, so as to provide the evidence for proposing preventive and control interventions of injury among the elderly.
Methods :
The death of injury among registered residents at ages of 60 years and older in Huzhou City from 2010 to 2020 were collected from Zhejiang Provincial Information Management System for Chronic Disease Surveillance. The mortality and main causes of injury were descriptively analyzed among the elderly, and the trends in mortality were analyzed using annual percent change ( APC ).
Results:
Totally 13 360 deaths occurred due to injury among elderly populations in Huzhou City from 2010 to 2020, and the mortality of injury appeared a tendency towards a rise with years ( APC=3.87%, P<0.05 ). The annual mean mortality and standardized mortality of injury were 199.89/105 and 192.68/105 among elderly populations in Huzhou City from 2010 to 2020. The overall mortality of injury was higher in men than in women during the period from 2010 to 2017, and higher mortality was seen in women than in men in 2020 ( P<0.05 ). The injury mortality in men and in women, and the overall mortality of injury all appeared a tendency towards a rise with ages ( P<0.05 ). The five most common causes of injury included fall ( 82.89/105 ), motor vehicle traffic accidents ( 26.45/105 ), suicide ( 18.52/105 ), drowning ( 16.88/105 ) and shipping accidents except motor vehicle ( 13.77/105 ), which accounted for 79.30% of all deaths due to injury. The mortality of fall in women ( APC=8.87%, P<0.05 ) and the overall mortality of fall ( APC=10.63%, P<0.05 ) both appeared a tendency towards a rise with years.
Conclusion
The mortality of injury appeared a tendency towards a rise and increased with ages among the elderly in Huzhou City from 2010 to 2020. Fall is the leading cause of death due to injury among the elderly.

Objective:
To investigate the mortality and years of life lost due to drowning in Huzhou City from 2012 to 2021, so as to provide insights into drowning prevention and control.
Methods:
The mortality surveillance data on drowning in Huzhou City from 2012 to 2021 were collected from the Zhejiang Chronic Disease Surveillance Information Management System. The crude mortality and standardized mortality of drowning by the 2010 population census data in 2010, years of potential life lost (YPLL) and working years of potential life lost (WYPLL) due to drowning were calculated. In addition, the annual percent change (APC) was used to analyze the trends in drowning mortality and the rate of YPLL and WYPLL in Huzhou City from 2012 to 2021.
Results:
A total of 1 681 deaths occurred due to drowning in Huzhou City from 2012 to 2021, accounting for 9.11% of total injury deaths. The overall mortality and standardized mortality of drowning were 6.35/105 and 4.70/105, respectively, and mortality and standardized mortality of drowning were 6.95/105 and 5.44/105 in men and 5.76/105 and 3.98/105 in women, respectively. The highest mortality of drowning was found in residents at ages of 65 years and older (16.04/105 to 27.02/105), followed by in residents at ages of less than 5 years (2.54/105 to 16.37/105). The overall mortality of drowning was 5.29/105 to 7.21/105 among residents in Huzhou City from 2012 to 2021, and no significant change tendency was seen (APC=-2.18%, t=-2.085, P=0.071). The standardized mortality of drowning reduced from 6.10/105 to 3.69/105 (APC=-4.88%, t=-4.215, P=0.003). In addition, the YPLL and rate of YPLL, and WYPLL and the rate of WYPLL due to drowning mortality were 22 620.50 person-years, 0.10%, 17 956.50 person-years and 0.08% in Huzhou City from 2012 to 2021, respectively, and the rates of YPLL (APC=-6.95%, t=-3.203, P=0.016) and WYPLL (APC=-7.60%, t=-3.126, P=0.014) both appeared a tendency towards a decline from 2012 to 2021.
Conclusions
The standardized mortality of drowning and rate of YPLL appeared a tendency towards a decline among residents living in Huzhou City from 2012 to 2021, and residents at ages of 65 years and older and less than 5 years are high-risk populations for management of drowning mortality.

AIM:To observe the effect of Rheum emodi Wall on expess level of TNF-?、IL-1? and IL-6 on acute ischemic stroke(ACI)at high altitude. METHODS: 65 patients aith ACI at high altitude(2 260 m)were randomly divided into treatment group(34) and control groups(31).both groups received danshen-safflower injection.Meanwhile treatment group took Rheum emodi decoction orally for 4 weeks,while control group doesn't.Serum levels of TNF-?、IL-1? and IL-6 were measured by radioimmumoassay. RESULTS: The treatment group showed much higher rates of improvement than control group(88.24%;70.97%)after weeks.Serum levels of TNF-?、IL-1? and IL-6 decreased significantly in patients with ACI at treatment group as compared with those of control group. CONCLUSION: Rheum emodi Wall can improve the nervous function of ACI by reducing TNF-?、IL-1? and IL-6 content in serun.

Objective To ensure the quality of field operation materials, and enhance rescue ability of medical corps in field condition. Methods Materials for package and sterilization were tested and selected for new way of package and sterilization instead of the traditional cotton. Results Sheet package was preserved in normal condition. Every month the microorgarism in sheet package was sampled. There were no bacteria in the operation items in the half-year sampling. So the period of validity was prolonged from one week to half year. Conclusion With the new package sterilization method, the work load of nurses is alleviated and the expenses on repeated sterilization due to short term of validity are also reduced. At the same time, operation infection rate and death rate are decreased so that the battle injury rescue level was raised.

Objective: To study changes of serum levels of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) in patients with essential hypertension (EH) and their significance. Methods: A total of 59 EH patients were selected, including 20 cases with EH stage 1 (EH stage 1 group), 19 cases with EH stage 2 (EH stage 2 group) and 20 cases with EH stage 3 (EH stage 3 group). Another 30 healthy subjects were regard as normal control group. Double antibody enzyme-linked immunosorbent sandwich assay was used to measure concentrations of HGF and sICAM-1 in all groups, and then the results were compared and analyzed. Results: Compared with normal control group, there were significant increase in serum levels of HGF [(641.65±142.90) pg/ml vs. (998.15±241.38) pg/ml] and sICAM-1 [(161.70±32.36) ng/ml vs. (327.17±31.28) ng/ml] in EH patients (P<0.01 both), and it’s more significant as blood pressure increased (P<0.01). HGF concentration was positively correlated with sICAM-1 concentration (r=0.317, P<0.01). Conclusion: HGF and sICAM-1 may participate in pathogenesis of hypertension, indicating that HGF plays an important role in restore of impaired endothelial cells in hypertension.
