With the coming of knowledge economics, technical innovation is becoming more and more important.However, the risk accompanied to the technical innovation exists everywhere and is a serious problem demanding prompt solution.Facing the realistic condition, a new idea on the application of vague comprehensive evaluation model to investigating the technical risk in Chinese materia medica innovation project has been put forward.According to the properties of new drug project and the vague mathematic theory, the determined nature issue has been quantified, what happened described objectively, and a model of vague comprehensive evaluation constructed increasingly.The result provides a prerequisite for investment and decision of the technical project.By the analysis of risk factors it is easy and aggressive to control and avoid the risk during the process of project implement.Generally the vague comprehensive evaluation model can be available and benefit to adjust the investment structure and to enhance the scientific decision level.

Objective To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on gastric mucosal injury induced by intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats.Methods Thirty-six healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 4-5 months,weighing 200-250 g,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =9 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S),intestinal I/R group (group I/R),low-dose dexmedetomidine group (group LD),and high-dose dexmedetomidine group (group HD).Intestinal I/R was produced by occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery for 1 h followed by 2 h reperfusion in anesthetized rats.Dexmedetomidine 2.5 and 5.0 μg · kg-1 · h-1 were infused via the caudal vein for 1 h starting from 1 h before ischemia in LD and HD groups,respectively.The rats were sacrificed at 2 h of reperfusion,and the gastric mucosa was obtained for examination of the pathological changes (with light microscope) and for determination of the expression of serine/threonine kinase (Akt),phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt),activated caspase-3 and caspase-3 (by Western blot).The ratio of p-Akt to Akt (p-Akt/Akt)was calculated to reflect the phosphorylation of Akt.The ratio of activated caspase-3 to easpase-3 (activated caspase-3/caspase-3) was calculated to reflect the activation of caspase-3.Results Compared with group S,the expression of Akt was significantly up-regulated,the expression of p-Akt was significantly downregulated,the phosphorylation of Akt was significantly decreased,and the activation of caspase-3 was significantly increased in group I/R,and the expression of p-Akt was significantly up-regulated,and the phosphorylation of Akt and activation of caspase-3 were significantly increased in LD and HD groups (P<0.05).Compared with group I/R,the expression of Akt was significantly down-regulated,the expression of p-Akt was significantly up-regulated,the phosphorylation of Akt was significantly increased,and the activation of caspase-3 was significantly decreased in LD and HD groups (P<0.05).The degree of gastric mucosal injury was significantly lower in LD and HD groups than in group I/R,and there was no significant difference in the degree of gastric mucosal injury between group LD and group HD.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can attenuate gastric mucosal injury induced by intestinal I/R,and the mechanism may be related to activation of PI3K/Akt signaling pathways and inhibition of cell apoptosis in rats.

OBJECTIVETo understand where and how drug-using and sexual behaviors occurred among drug users.
METHODSTwenty-five drug users were recruited from detoxification centers and communities. In-depth interview was used to collect information about drug-using and sexual behaviors. Each subject was interviewed separately and privately for about 2 - 3 hours.
RESULTSMost drug users shifted from oral taking drugs to injecting drugs in order to reduce economic burden and look for "high feeling". Reasons for not injecting among few drug users included 'perceiving information on harm of injection', 'over-dose death' or 'infection with HIV'. Most drug users knew that HIV transmit through sharing needles or having sexual intercourse without using a condom. However, needles were shared at night when drug or needles were scarce. Promiscuous sexual relationship was common among drug users. Most female drug users had engaged in prostitution but few used condoms.
CONCLUSIONHigh-risk drug injecting behaviors and high-risk sexual behaviors were prevalent among drug users despite knowledge on HIV transmission and prevention. Thus, education alone would not work unless specific intervention programs are taken.

Objective To investigate the effects of different depths of anesthesia on incidence of postopera-tive cognitive dysfunction (POCD). Methods We systematically retrievedPubmed,OVID,CNKI,CBM and Wanfang database and VIP database for randomized controlled trials(RCTs)from inceptionto December 312016, comparing different depths of anesthesia for their impacts on incidence of early POCD. After data extraction and quality evaluation,Revman 5.3 software was used for statistical data analysis. Results A total of 714 patients in 8 eligible RCTs were identified. Results of meta-analysis were as follows.(1)Incidence of POCD of depth anesthesia (NTS=E0-E1)was lower than general anesthesia(NTS=D0-D1)1 d after surgery(OR=0.21,95%CI 0.13~0.35,P < 0.00001).(2)Incidence of POCD of depth anesthesia(NTS = E1)was lower than general anesthesia (NTS=D0)7 d after surgery(OR=0.45,95%CI 0.23~0.91,P=0.03).(3)Incidence of POCD of NTS=E1 was lower than NTS=D07d after surgery(OR=0.42,95%CI 0.24~0.71,P=0.001). Conclusion Comparedwith general anesthesia,depth anesthesia is associated with a lower incidence of early POCD.

BackgroundPatients with schizophrenia are at high risk of suffering from metabolic syndrome. Most previous studies on the influencing factors of metabolic syndrome focused on the inpatients and limited ones on patients dwelling in community. ObjectiveTo explore the influencing factors at different risk levels of metabolic syndrome in community-dwelling patients with schizophrenia in Guangzhou, so as to provide references for future interventions on metabolic syndrome in this patient population. MethodsIn November 2021, 3 339 patients with schizophrenia who were registered in and administered by Guangzhou Mental Health Information System were included. All these patients had finished the physical examination in 2020, and whether they had metabolic syndrome was assessed basing on Guideline for the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in China (2020 edition). Patients were divided into high-risk group (n=423), critical group (n=1 524) and metabolic syndrome group (n=1 392) according to the Chinese expert consensus on the management of metabolic syndrome in patients with schizophrenia. Multiple logistic regression analysis were performed on the risk factors of metabolic syndrome in community-dwelling patients with schizophrenia. ResultsThe prevalence rate of metabolic syndrome in community-dwelling patients with schizophrenia was 41.69%. Univariate analysis showed that the results in gender (χ2=44.610), age (χ2=55.992), marriage status (χ2=30.755), illness course (χ2=25.913) and body mass index (χ2=829.265) were significantly different among the three groups (P<0.01). Kruskal-Wallis H test showed that the levels of waist circumference (H=920.331), systolic blood pressure (H=436.673), diastolic blood pressure (H=393.337), fasting blood glucose (H=807.304), triglyceride (H=1 134.125) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (H=593.615) among the three groups were significantly different (P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that age ≥50 (OR=1.761, 95% CI: 1.087~2.853), overweight (OR=2.418, 95% CI: 1.862~3.140) and obesity (OR=57.903, 95% CI: 14.340~233.802) were risk factors contributing to high-risk patients becoming critical population (P<0.05 or 0.01). Female gender (OR=1.295, 95% CI: 1.034~1.622), aged 40~49 (OR=2.597, 95% CI: 1.582~4.263), age ≥50 (OR=4.392, 95% CI: 2.609~7.395), overweight (OR=7.844, 95% CI: 6.018~10.223) and obesity (OR=426.785, 95% CI: 105.724~1 722.839) were risk factors for high-risk patients developing into metabolic syndrome population (P<0.05 or 0.01). ConclusionThe prevalence rate of metabolic syndrome is higher in community-dwelling patients with schizophrenia. Female gender, older age, overweight and obesity would increase the risk of metabolic syndrome in schizophrenic patients.
