Chinese Journal of Endemiology 2013;32(5):500-503
Objective This present study explores and evaluates the effect of preliminary implementation in the clinical therapy programs for patients with chronic Keshan disease (CKD) in the disease seriously-affected endemic areas.Methods In 2010,seventy-six CKD patients with heart failure were chosen from Huangling and Xunyi Counties in Shaanxi Province,where incidences of CKD were high.Besides taking sodium selenite,all patients were given treatment with fixed prescription,which included angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (captopril),β-blocker (propranolol),diuretics (hydrochlorothiazide,spironolactone) and cardiac (digoxin) for 4 months.The changes before and after treatment were analyzed,which included the changes of heart function by the United States of America New York Heart Association(NYHA) fractionation,cardiothoracic ratio,electrocardiogram,left ventricular ejection fraction(EF) and fractional shortening(FS).The therapeutic effect was subsequently evaluated.Results Seventy-four cases of the seventy-six CKD patients completed the treatment observation.The improvement rate of heart function was 81.1% (60/74) after treatment.The elimination rates of ectopic rhythm,conduction block and ST-T changes were 37.5% (9/24),2.7% (1/36) and 26.9% (7/26),respectively.The cardiothoracic ratios of heart function NYHA Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ were 0.504 ± 0.051,0.572 ± 0.054 and 0.632 ± 0.063 before treatment.After treatment,the cardiothoracic ratios were 0.486 ± 0.048,0.538 ± 0.046 and 0.607 ± 0.048,which were reduced in all groups (t =2.643,6.641,3.005,all P < 0.05),while the D-value of cardiothoracic ratio changes before and after treatment was not significantly different(F =3.005,P > 0.05).Both the mild reduction group(35%≤EF < 50%) and the moderate-severe group(EF < 35%) EF were (43.62 ± 4.58)%,(27.57 ± 3.69)% before treatment and were (48.21 ± 10.01)%,(36.57 ± 6.60)% after treatment,EF were increased in the two groups,while the changes before and after treatment were significantly different(t =-2.911,-3.334,all P< 0.05).The EF D-value of the two groups was (4.59 ± 8.48)% before treatment and was (9.00 ± 7.14)% after treatment,which were not significantly different(P > 0.05).FS was higher compared with pre-treatment in FS reduction group(FS < 25%) and the changes before and after treatment[(19.75 ± 2.88)%,(21.92 ± 5.67)%] were significantly different(t =-2.297,P < 0.05).Conclusions This study shows that the feasibility of clinical treatment of patients with CKD is very promising.The treatment of fixed prescription is effective.

Objective To observe the effect of acupoint thread-embedding at Neiguan (PC6) and Zusanli (ST36) on anxiety and sleep disorders after heroin withdrawal. Method Sixty-seven patients with heroin addiction were randomized into a Neiguan group (25 cases), a Zusanli group (22 cases) and a Neiguan plus Zusanli group (20 cases), to receive corresponding treatments once every 20 d, for 4 sessions in total. The Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were adopted to observe the anxiety and sleep condition before and after the treatment. Result After 60 d thread-embedding treatment, the total and standard SAS scores, sleep initiation time and total PSQI score were significantly decreased in the 3 groups (P<0.05), and the sleep durations were significantly extended (P<0.05); in comparing the improvement of anxiety, Neiguan plus Zusanli group > Neiguan group >Zusanli group (P<0.05); in comparing the improvement of sleep, Neiguan plus Zusanli group was superior to both Zusanli group and Neiguan group (P<0.05), while there was no significant difference between Zusanli group and Neiguan group (P>0.05). Conclusion It's effective to use thread-embedding at Neiguan and Zusanli independently or together for anxiety and sleep disorders after heroin withdrawal, but the efficacy is more significant when the two points are used in combination, indicating the synergy of acupoints.

This paper mainly discussed a bacterial stain with high flocculating activity isolated from cantaloupe juice .The strain was named Bacillus sp.B_(53) based on colony morphology, physiological and biochemistry experiments. The new flocculant was purified and shown to be a homopolymer of glutamic acid by HLPC analysis and thin layer chromatography, and presumed to be Poly ?-glutamic acid(?-PGA). ?-PGA 12.48g/L was achieved in shake flask. The purified material showed a absorption peak at 212nm, and was only composed of L-Glu. The MW could be detected through SDS-PAGE, and its MW was about a molecular mass between 440kD with 669kD. This bioflocculant efficiently flocculated various organic and inorganic suspensions. It's flocculanting effect on kaolin and ([BF]Ca(OH)_2[BFQ]) was superior to others.

The purpose of this study was to reveal the current situation of health technology transfer in Shanghai hospitals,and to analyze the problems and needs.Questionnaire and interview were adopted for the study.We found that in the past 3 years,the transformation rate of patent technologies at Shanghai Tertiary Hospitals was 5.88%.The transfer routes mainly involves proactive enlist of enterprises by project leader,technology brokerage,exhibitions of patents achievements,friends' recommendation,etc..The main factors impacted the transfer included poorer quality of patent,lacking efficient management,and lacking channels for transfer.In order to improve the transfer of patents,hospitals need to provide information service,technology assessment,project packaging,patents application,consultant,and relevant trainings etc.Other things that could promote health technology transfer are to improve scientific research system,to enhance the quality of scientific achievements,and to develop technology brokerage.
