Randomized sampling-based questionnaire among 2000 community residents and personal contact with selected populations were conducted.Based on incidence or clinical featuxes of dermatosis and venereal diseases and recognition-related impact factor analyses,we provided evidence for community-based health education and behavior intervention.Our findings showed that itching was the most common skin disease,and fungous infection displayed an increasing trend.Viral diseases increased significantly in recent years.Patients failed to understand the skin diseases,although they partly had some misleading information about venereal diseases.Health care providers should perform more health education and behavior interventions regarding dermatosis and venereal diseases for community residents to improve their health condition or quality of life.
2.Mining analysis on composition and medication of menstruation prescriptions in Fu Qingzhu's Obstetrics and Gynecology.
China Journal of Chinese Materia Medica 2015;40(8):1610-1613
In this paper, menstruation prescriptions were selected from "Fu Qingzhu's Obstetrics and Gynecology" and analyzed by using GRI algorithm, correlation analysis, hierarchical clustering method through SPSS, Clementine and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) inheritance auxiliary systems, in order to screen out 15 menopathy prescriptions, which involve 45 traditional Chinese medicine herbs. In the study, blood-tonifying and qi-tonifying herbs were found to be frequent in the prescriptions. The most frequent single herb was white paeony root, accounting for 9.6% in the total number of prescriptions; The most frequent herb pairs were white paeony root-radix rehmanniae preparata and paeony root-angelica sinensis. Among Fu Shan's menopathy prescriptions, 61 herbal pairs showed a correlation coefficient exceeding 0.05, which evolved into 16 pairs of core combinations. The analysis showed that menopathy prescriptions in volume 1 of "Fu Qingzhu's Obstetrics and Gynecology" focused on tonic traditional Chinese medicines involving liver, spleen and kidney and were adjusted according to changes in qi, blood, cold, hot and wet, which could provide a specific reference for further studies on Fu Shan's academic thoughts and traditional Chinese medicine clinical treatment of menopathy.

3.Several Key Issues of Experimental Stem Cell Treatment on Chronic Kidney Disease
Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2006;0(17):-
Chronic kidney disease(CKD) is a major global health issue that leads to end-stage renal disease which untreated.The use of stem cell therapy provides a new perspective in this area.Reviewing the experimental studies of stem cell therapy on CKD,many different,and even contradictory reports in this area were found.In this paper,the recent reports,and present several key issues of experimental stem cell treatment on CKD were reviewed,including the source of stem cell,the sort of experimental animal,the time of treatment and other experimental details.Hoping these may lead more understanding in this area.

Objective To observe the ultrasonographic features of local chest wall tumor recurrence after mastectomy for breast cancer and its clinical and histopathological characteristics. Methods The ultrasonographic features, clinical and histopathological characteristics of 27 patients with local chest wall tumor recurrence after mastectomy confirmed histopathologically were retrospectively reviewed. Results The disease-free intervals of twenty-seven patients ranged from 3 to 129 months [mean (31.9±31.4) months]. Most of the recurrence(18/27, 66.7%) occurred within 3 years after mastectomy. The clinical manifestations were:7 cases (7/27, 25.9%) with regional skin redness and swelling, red rash or ulceration on chest wall associated with or without palpable mass, 20 cases(20/27, 74.1%) with chest wall palpable masses without obvious skin change. On ultrasonography, 2 cases showed diffuse inifltrative type with ill-deifned inhomogeneous hypoechoic lesion and skin thickening. And twenty-ifve cases(43 lesions) showed mass type with a lesion size range of 5.4-114.7 mm [mean (24.4±21.6) mm]. Among them, 32 lesions were located near to the operation incision scar, 36 involved muscle layer, 38 were hypoechoic, 31 had irregular shape, 24 had indistinct margin, and 31 had blood lfow signal. In addition, calciifcation, halo, and taller-than-wide shape were absent in all 43 lesions. Conclusions The tumor recurrence often occurred within 3 years after mastectomy in high-risk patients. Ultrasonographic feature of chest wall recurrent lesion is of great value in the diagnosis.

avian influenza virus (AIV) can not only infect avian and cause pandemics,but also result infection and initiate pandemics in humans and other mammal animals,crossing the species barrier.There have been some advance in research into the nonspecific species barrier of human respiratory tract against AIV infection and the mechanism of the infection of AIV in humans in recent years.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and the mechanism of different dose hepatitis B immunoglohulin(HBIG)on prevention of HBV intrauterine infection and HBV S gene mutation. Methods HBV carrier mothers were randomly divided into three groups.Eighty-one HBsAg carrier pregnant women were divided into HBIG A group.HBIG B group and control group.Each subject in the HBIG A group received 200 U or 400 U(for HBsAg and HBeAg double positive carrier)intra muscularly at 3,2,1 month before delivery.Each subject in the HBIG B group received 200 U intra muscularly at 3,2,1 month before delivery.The subjects in the control group did not receive any treatment.Maternal blood samples were taken before HBIG injection and at delivery.Neonatal blood samples of all newborn infants after birth were taken before immunopropbylaxis.Their sera were ob tained to test HBV markers by enzyme immunoassay(EIA)and HBV DNA by fluorescence quantita- tive polymerase chain reaction(FQ-PCR),then to amplify and sequence HBV S gene region.Results The rate of HBV intrauterine infection in the HBIG group(14.5%)was lower than that in the control group(35.7%)(X~2=4.896,P=0.027).The rate of HBV intrauterine infection of newborns from HBsAg and HBeAg double positive carrier mother in the HBIG A group(37.5%)were lower than control group(100.0%)(X~2=7.273,P=0.007),while the rate was no different in the HBIG B group(71.5%)and the control group(X~2=2.637,P=0.104).Maternal HBsAg titer and HBV DNA level were of no difference among three groups before HBIG injection.Maternal HBsAg titers and HBV DNA levels of the HBIG A group were lower than those of the HBIG B group and the con- trol group at delivery.Among the 26 neonatal serum samples in the HBIG A group,10(38.5%)were positive for anti-HBs,while in the HBIG B group and in the control group,no neonatal serum sam- ples was positive.There was no significant difference of nucleotide and amino acid changes in the S gene between the HBIG group and the control group.Conclusions HBV infection in the uterus may be interrupted by injection HBIG intramuscularly before delivery.More efficacy would be found using variable HBIG dose according to different HBV virema and must be once more again injected just he- fore one week of delivery;anti-HBs transported to the fetus via the placenta and it's may be the im- portant mechanism of HBIG prevention.Asymptomatic HBsAg carrier mother received injections of HBIG before delivery should not influence HBV S gene mutation.Gene mutation of HBV is not the main factor in intrauterine transmission of HBV.
