Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of comprehensive prevention and control measures on coal-burning-borne endemic tluorosis in Xishui,on residents healthy behavior and situation of the disease.Methods In 2013,five towns were selected according to their location of east,south,west,north and centre.Three villages and one elementary school in each town were chosen,and 20 families' related behavior and fluorine prevention knowledge questionnaire in each village were surveyed.All the students from one class aged 8-12 of grade 3-6 in each school were selected,according to the Diagnosis of Dental Fluorosis,dental fluorosis was examined and fluorine knowledge questionnaire was surveyed.At the same time,the detection rate of dental fluorosis of children aged 8-12,information of the knowledge about prevention and cure of fluorosis and related behavior of target groups in 2007,and the urinary fluoride contents of children aged 8-12 in 2000 were collected.Analysis and comparison of the data in 2000,2007 and 2013 were done.Results After the intervention,the witting rates of students and family householders 90.95% (11 773/12 945),84.27% (3 792/4 500),were significantly higher than those of before the intervention [19.29% (1 039/5 385),26.27% (394/1 500),x2 =9 279.14,1 794.22,all P < 0.01].Proper utilization rate of cooking stove was 100.00% (37/37),iron stove utilization rate was 99.64% (279/280),dry chili correct rate was 100.00% (299/299) and before the intervention,these values were 3.20% (43/1 345),90.28% (1 207/1 337)and 62.14% (855/1 376),respectively,and the differences were statistically significant (x2 =601.12,27.28,27.28,all P < 0.01).Children's dental fluorosis detection rate was 24.21% (206/851),compared with that of before the intervention,61.62% (2 150/3 489),the difference was statistically significant (x2 =385.93,P < 0.01).Children's urine fluoride was (0.51 ± 0.29) mg/L,and before the intervention [(1.55± 1.59) mg/L],the difference was statistically significant (t'=10.25,P < 0.01).Conclusions The effect of comprehensive prevention and control measures against coal-burning-borne endemic fluorosis in Xishui are remarkable.The residents health related behavior has been formed and the condition is reduced markedly.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on severe brain injury. Methods60 patients with severe brain injury were divided into control group and treatment group. They were treated with neurosurgical conventional therapy, and HBO for treatment group in addition. They were assessed with Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) before and after treatment, and Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) 3 and 6 months after treatment. ResultsCompared with control group, there is significant improvement in GCS (P<0.05) and GOS (P<0.05) in treatment group. ConclusionHBO has immediate and long-term efficiency on severe brain injury.

Objective To investigate the radiosensitization of artesunate on nude mouse transplanted with HeLa cells,and to explore its possible mechanisms.Methods HeLa cells were inoculated into the nude mice to establish tumor model.Mice were randomly divided into 4 groups as blank control,artesunate group,radiation group and artesunate + radiation group when average volume of tumor were about 5 mm × 5 mm× 5 mm.During the term of treatment,the volume of tumors were measured every 2days.After 14 days treatment,the mice were killed and tumor tissues were harvested for flow cytometry to detect the alteration of cell cycle.Meanwhile,the pathological change of the tumor tissue was observed with HE staining method,and the change of expression of cycle regulatory protein Cyclin B1,Cdc2 and Wee1 were detected by Western blot.Results The growth of tumor was significantly inhibited by artesunate combined with radiation and its inhibition rate was 72.34%.Flow cytometry results showed that the percent of cells in G1 phase increased and G2 phase decreased in the artesunate + radiation group compared with those in irradiation group ( t =4.41,4.12,P < 0.05 ).The expression level of Cyclin B1 was obviously increased while that of Wee1 decreased in the artesunate + radiation compared with irradiation group.There was no difference in the expression of Cdc2 among the four groups.Conclusions Artesunate can dramatically increase the radiosensitivity of transplanted tumor of HeLa cells.The possible mechanism might be related to the decreasing G2 phase by regulating the expression of Cyclin B1 and Wee1.

Objective To investigate the application effect of the sandwich teaching method in the course of Surgical Nursing . Methods Two classes of the students majoring in nursing were randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 36 students in each group. The students in the control group received the traditional teaching method, and those in the observation group received the sandwich teaching method . The teaching effect was compared between the two groups by theoretical assessment and questionnaire survey. SPSS 24.0 was used for analysis of variance and the t-test. Results Compared with the control group, the observation group had significantly higher scores of course assessment, learning atmosphere, and learning initiative. The observation group also had significantly higher good rates of learning atmosphere and learning initiative than the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion The sandwich teaching method can significantly improve students' abilities of communication and problem solving, arouse their enthusiasm of learning, and increase the interestingness of classroom, and therefore, it has a practical value in teaching.

Misuse and abuse of veterinary antimicrobial agents have led to an alarming increase in bacterial resistance, clinical treatment failure, and drug residues. To address these problems, consistent and appropriate dosage regimens for veterinary antimicrobial agents are needed. Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) models have been widely used to establish rational dosage regimens for veterinary antimicrobial agents that can achieve effective prevention and treatment of bacterial diseases and avoid the development of bacterial resistance. This review introduces building methods for PK/PD models and describes current PK/PD research progress toward rational dosage regimens for veterinary antimicrobial agents. Finally, the challenges and prospects of PK/PD models in the design of dosage regimens for veterinary antimicrobial agents are reviewed. This review will help to increase awareness of PK/PD modeling among veterinarians and hopefully promote its development and future use.
