Five population groups, including farmers living in Veining (a cold hilly southern county), farmers and labourers in Shijiazhuang (a northern district), coastal fishermen in Zhoushan and "Yi" nationality farmers in Veining (where the incidence of hypertension is very low in China) were selected randomly (467 male subjects, 40-59 years old) to explore nutritional parameters-BP relationships. The results showed; (1) Pulse rate, QI and BP were lowest in Veining "Han" and "Yi" nationality groups. (2) Values of blood and urine nutritional parameters were in close accord with the diet customs of the different population groups. (3) Urine Na, Ca, Ca/Mg, urea nitrogen and serum cholesterol, total protein, albumin, uric acid were higher, while urine K was lower in hypertensives. (4) Urine Na, Na/K, Ca/ Mg and serum albumin, total protein, cholesterol, triglyceride, uric acid levels correlated positively, while K inversely with BP on multivariate stepwise regression and/or discrimination analyses. These results suggested high Na (Ca)-intake might be hypertensive, while high K(Mg)-intake an-tihypertensive, the serum protein - BP relationship could not be ascribed as a secondary effect of hemoconcentration in hypertension; a high protein intake, regardless of nature, could be hypertensionogenic; hyperlipidemia seemed to be a risk factor of hypertension, not being the secondary consequence to high BP. In designing a strategic protocol for primary prevention of hypertension, the above should be given due consideration.

Eight populations including 4 Chinese districts and 4 nationalities 484 subjects (male, 40~59 years) were conducted for exploring amino acid (22 sorts)-BP relationship by multi-variate regression and discrimination analyses. Results showed:(1)The different amino acid levels found among "Ka-zak", "Han" and "Uygur" nationalities living in one of the same Xinjiang region might be a reflection of their diverse dietary patterns; while the difference seen between "Han" and "Yi" nationalities living in one of the same Quizhou area, taking similar diet, might be due to the inherited metabolic influence. (2) The levels of aspartic and (or) glutamic acids were the the highest in the Quizhou "Han" and "Yi" groups living in cold hilly area, while other amino acids were comparatively lower, in keeping with their BP, Quetelet's indices and serum urea levels to be the lowest, tentatively denoting that the tissue metabolic turnover rate might be also lower as well in these groups. (3) The serum levels of sulfur containing amino acids in those populations taking much animal foods, were all higher, therefor ethe lower incidences of cardio-cerebro-vascular diseases seen in fishmen can not be thus wholly ascribed to the high intake of fish meat rich in sulfur containing amino acids. (4) From BP regression equations, valine, cysteine, alanine, threonine were found to be the prohypertensives while glycine, leucine, methionine and phenylalanine,the antihypertensives.

Objective (1) To determine the relationship between the MR signal intensity and the actual flow velocity under steady flow condition (2) to analyze the influence produced by the angle (?) between the flow direction and the velocity encoded gradient direction, and flip angle as well as section thickness on the velocity measurement under oblique flow condition (3) to develop a suitable protocol for using this method to measure volumetric flow rate in the transverse sinus system Methods Flow phantom, which simulated blood flow conditions in the transverse sinus system, consisted of a fluid filled cylinder and a bent tube with a 3 4 mm internal diameter A 1 5 T superconductive MR imager and VIGRE sequence were used for these studies A suitable protocol was based on consideration of the effects of (1) the accuracy of velocity and transverse area measurement of flow, and (2) signal to noise ratio (SNR) Results (1) Signal intensity (y) determined by MR and the actual flow velocity (x) showed straight line correlation, y=68 914x+357 206, R 2=0 998 (2) As the angle (?) increased, the transverse area of the signal determined by MR also increased, but the value of flow velocity decreased (3) As the flip angle increased, the SNR varied from 5 7 to 11 2 The maximum SNR was obtained with 30?flip angle (4) As the section thickness increased, the SNR and the transverse area of the signal determined by MR slightly increased Conclusions Phase contrast MR imaging is a practical method for measuring volumetric flow rates The angle (?) influenced the accuracy of flow velocity and the measurement of transverse area of flow whereas the flip angle and the section thickness substantially influenced the signal to noise ratio and the transverse area of flow

Objective To investigate the anatomic appearance in the region of the torcular Herophili by using MR and to evaluate its clinical significance Methods This study involved 123 healthy subjects All subjects underwent initial T 1W and T 2W MR examination in order to exclude intracranial occupying disease and vascular malformation Then, images of venous sinuses were obtained in the region of the torcular Herophili 72 of these subjects were examined with coronal 2D TOF MR venography (MRV), 44 cases were examined with coronal 3D PC angiography, and other 7 volunteers were examined with both of the two aforementioned methods Results (1) The venous drainage dominance showed mainly to the right side in 84 cases, mainly to the left side in 23 cases, equal drainage in 16 cases (2) According to the relation among the sinuses in the region of the torcular Herophili, all subjects in this study could be grouped into 4 types: Type 1, including those subjects in which a confluence of sinuses existed or the superior sagittal sinus and the straight sinus forked, and the forking of both sinuses joined to form the lateral sinuses Type 2, including those subjects in which the sagittal sinus drained into one side and the straight sinus drained into the other Type 3, including those subjects in which the superior sagittal sinus and the straight sinus joined and mainly drained into the right side Type 4, including those subjects in which the superior sagittal sinus and the straight sinus joined and mainly drained into the left side Conclusions MR angiography provides a useful method to show the anatomic features in the region of the torcular Herophili The pattern of the classification is considered important to assess the venous drainage dominance and helpful to deduce existent and/or potential collateral pathway These findings may be useful for diagnostic and operative procedure

Objective To study the changes in cortical activation of frontal lobes and temporal lobes between schizophrenic patients and comparison subjects during a verbal fluency task by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Methods Thirteen schizophrenic patients and 8 volunteers were studied during a verbal fluency task performance. fMRI of frontal lobes and temporal lobes was conducted at a GE 1.5 T Signa Horizon LX scanner while the subjects performed the task. Stimulus sequences were divided into six 30-second segments by using a task-activation paradigm that alternated between resting and stimulated states. Results Schizophrenic subjects demonstrated significantly less left frontal activation than comparison subjects during a word fluency task, and comparison subjects showed evidently more activation in left frontal lobes than in the right (P0.05). Conclusion These preliminary data suggest that fMRI has the sensitivity to detect the differences in activation between comparison subjects and schizophrenic patients during higher cortical functions.

In order to obtain the serotype distribution of E.coli from duck and to screen the vaccine bacterial strains,the serotype identifications and biological characteristics of E.coli were analyzed in recent years from Shandong,Hebei and other areas of commercial duck field;selections of vaccine strains were detected by the virulence and immunogenicity.Totally 44 isolated bacterial strains of E.coli from duck were identified to a total of six serotypes:O78,O93,O76,O2,O92 and O32.The O78 serotype was the dominant serotype,accounting for 56.8％ (25/44);O93 serotype for 15.9％ (7/44) according to bacterial Oantigen typing.The strain SD (O78 serotype) was confirmed to have strong virulence and good immunogenicity.The O78,O93 and O76 are the dominant serotypes of duck E.coli in the study areas.The SD strain could be used as the candidate for the next development of inactivated vaccine.

Objective To investigate the Adamkiewicz artery visualization using gemstone spectral CT angiography (CTA) with optimal monochromatic technique.Methods The prospective study was approved by the local institutional review board,and written informed consents were obtained for all the examinations.The successive 58 patients with suspected aortic aneurysm or dissection underwent aortic gemstone spectral CTA.They were divided into two groups based on the different reconstruction protocols:A,optimal monochromatic reconstruction;B,polychromatic reconstruction.Visualization rate of Adamkiewicz artery in two groups were recorded.Objective(measure CT value of the descending aorta and calculate signal-to-noise ratio [CNR]) and subjective (score of Adamkiewicz artery visualization) were evaluated.Paired samples t,Chi-square and Mann-Whitney U test were used for statistical analysis.Results CT value of descending aorta and CNR of group A [(568.4 ± 57.5)HU and (52.3 ± 8.1)] were significantly higher than group B[(346.2 ± 48.6)HU and (26.7 ± 3.7)] (t=12.70 and 15.20,P＜0.01).The visualization rate of Adamkiewicz artery in group A (94.8％,55/58) was higher than B (82.8％,48/58;x2=4.20,P=0.04).The score of group A (55 cases,3.9±0.8) was significantly higher than the group B (48 cases,3.4±1.0)(Z=-2.40,P=0.02).Conelusion Gemstone spectral CTA with optimal monochromatic reconstruction can improve the visualization efficiency and quality of the Adamkiewicz artery compared with routine polychromatic reconstruction protocol.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and characteristics of adverse reactions to cosmetics in China,and to provide a basis for further supervision.Methods The diagnosis of adverse reactions to cosmetics was according to 7 national standards (GB17149.1-7-1997) including the A general rule for the diagnosis and management of skin diseases induced by cosmetics.Data regarding gender,age,occupation,educational background,disease types,cosmetic types,and so on,were collected from patients with adverse reactions to cosmetics at 13 surveillance sites in China during 2005-2014.A descriptive statistical analysis was carried out.Results During 2005-2014,a total of 13 534 cases of adverse reactions to cosmetics were reported to the monitoring system.Of these cases,95.40％ (12 912/13 534) were female,and 80.85％ were young or middle-aged (20-44 years).Finally,5 446 cases were confirmed to be adverse reactions to cosmetics,among which,94.66％ (5 155/5 466) were contact dermatitis to cosmetics,and 132 were other types that were not included in the A general rule for the diagnosis and management of skin diseases induced by cosmetics.Among these confirmed cases,14 209 cosmetic products were involved,and ordinary skin care products predominated in these products.The proportion of imported cosmetic products (48.79％,6 932/14 209) was slightly higher than that of domestic products (43.21％,6 139/14 209).The number of reported eases increased by 13.16％ per year from 2005 to 2009,but decreased by 17.96％ per year from 2010 to 2014.Conclusion Adverse reactions to cosmetics are a complicated and important public health issue,and effective measures should be taken based on their characteristics.
