Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of tobacco control interventions among employees in centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) in Hebei Province. Methods Tobacoo control interventions, including health education, Quit and Win competition, and founding smokeless CDC, were carried out in CDC system in Hebei Province from May 2006 to June 2008. Surveys on smoking rate of employees and on average cigarette quantity consumed by male employee smokers were conducted at the beginning and the end of the interventions. Results In 2006, 9 931 employees in 174 centers at provincial, city, county level in Hebei Province participated in this study. The overall smoking rate was 25.69%. Male employees had a higher smoking rate (51.28%) than the females (0.68%). The smoking rate of male employees was 50.92%, 49.48% and 51.72% for provincial, city and county CDC levels, respectively. The average cigarettes consumed by one smoker in one day were 15.0. In 2008, 9 139 employees in 189 centers participated in this study. The overall current smoking rate was 25.07%. The smoking rate was 52.26% and 0.43% for males and females, respectively. The smoking rates of male employees in provincial and city CDCs were 43.93% and 46.18%, significantly lower than those in 2006. The smoking rate of male employees in county CDCs was 53.98%, much higher than that in 2006. The average cigarettes consumed by one smoker in one day in 2008 were 12.4, significantly less than that in 2006. The current smoking rate of male employees in smokeless CDCs was 48.0% , significantly lower than 56.9% in non smokeless CDCs. Conclusion Male employees in Hebei Province CDC system had a high smoking rate. Tobacco control interventions play a role in reducing smoking rate and cigarettes consumption.

Objective To provide solid data for TCM treatment and research of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) by investigating its syndromes distribution.Methods 180 patients diagnosed of TNBC in Department of Oncology,Guang'anmen Hospital from Janurary 2007 to November 2012 participated in this clinical trial.Eight principals syndrome differentiation,and Qi,Blood and viscal syndrome differentiation were used.According to the syndromes diagnosis standard,the differentiation of one single syndrome firstly and then multi-syndrome were conducted and related variables were analyzed finally Results 404 symptoms presented in all 180 patients.Qi deficiency syndrome (35.89％) and blood stasis syndrome (32.18％) showed statistical difference when compared with blood deficiency syndrome (3.22％),yin deficiency syndrome (4.95％),yang deficiency syndrome (3.96％),spleen-dampness syndrome (3.47％),qi stagnation syndrome (7.43％),toxic heat syndrome (4.95％) and dampness-heat syndrome (1.49％) (P＜0.01,x2=124.709,116.007,127.813,126.913,105.411,116.007,140.015; 118.273,105.447,117.630,120.445,97.411,105.447,110.273respectively).92.22％ syndroms were multi-syndrome including 23.89％ bi-syndrome,32.22％ tri-syndrome and 25.56％ qua-syndrome.Conclusion The syndromes of TNBC were complicated but with predominant Qi dificency and Blood stasis; single syndrome identification should be put in the first place and then combining them together may be practical approaches; Replenishing Qi and activating blood circulation might be breaking through in TNBC treatment.

Objective To explore the images and diagnostic evaluation of X-ray combined with ultrasound in paralytic intestinal obstruction caused by antipsychotic agents. Methods The data of X-ray and ultrasound of 124 cases of clinically diagnosed paralytic intestinal obstruction caused by antipsychotic agents were analyzed retrospectively, as well as their rates of confirmed diagnosis. All the 124 patients were examined by erect abdominal radiography and fluoroscopy,68 of the 124 patients by ultrasound. Results According to their typical images,the rate of X-ray confirmed diagnosis was 87.9%(109/124) with 15 missed diagnosis and the rate of missed diagnosis was 12.1%( 15/124);the rate of ultrasound confirmed diagnosis was 82.4%(56/68) with 12 missed diagnosis and the rate of missed diagnosis was 17.6%(12/68). There was no significant difference between X-ray and ultrasound (P＞ 0.05 ). Compared with X-ray or ultrasound ,X-ray combined with ultrasound in the diagnosis of paralytic intestinal obstruction could increase the rate of confirmed diagnosis (100.0% ,68/68),and decrease the rate of missed diagnosis (0),the difference was statistically significant (P＜ 0.05 ). Conclusions X-ray examination is the first choice to diagnose paralytic intestinal obstruction caused by antipsychotic agents,but ultrasound has the advantage of finding fluid in abdominal cavity. To reduce missed diagnosis, X-ray should be combined with ultrasound.

Objective To evaluate the effect of modified Maze lines plus pulmonary vein (PV) isolation created by radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) on atrial wall guided by a novel geometry mapping system in the treatment of elderly patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). Methods After regular electrophysiological study, transseptal punctures were achieved twice with Swartz L1 and R1 sheaths. PV angiographies were conducted to evaluate their orifices and branches. A balloon electrode array catheter with 64 electrodes was put in the middle of the left atrium. Atrium geometry was constructed using Ensite 3000 Navx system. Two RFCA lesion loops and three lines (modified Maze) were created on left and right atrial walls. Each lesion point was ablated for 30 seconds with preset temperature 50 (ae) and energy 30W. The disappearance or 80% decrease of the amplitude of target atrial potential and 10 to 20(|), decrease of ablation impedance were used as an index of effective ablation. Results A total of 11 patients (7 male and 4 female, mean age, 68.7±5.1 years) were enrolled. PAF history was 7.9±4.5 years. PAF could not be prevented by mean 3.1±1.6 antiarrhythmic agents in 6.3±3.4 years. None of the patients had complications with structural heart disease or stroke. Left atrial diameter was 41.3±3.6 mm and LVEF was 59.2±3.7% on echocardiography. Two loops and three lines were completed with 67.8±13.1 (73-167) lesion points. Altogether 76-168 (89.4±15.3) lesion points were created in each patient. PAF could not be provoked by rapid burst pacing up to 600 beat per minute delivered from paroxysmal coronary sinus electrode pair.Complete PV electrical isolation was confirmed by three-dimensional activation mapping. Mean procedure time was 2.7±0.6 hours and fluoroscopy time was 17.8±9.4 minutes. Patients were discharged with oral aspirin and without antiarrhythmic agents. During follow up of 6.5±1.8 months, seven patients were PAF symptom free (63.6%). PAF attacks were decreased more than 70% in two patients (18.2%). PAF frequency did not change in another two patients (18.2%). Conclusions Ensite 3000 Navx guided modified Maze lines plus PV isolation on the atrial wall is safe and feasible in the elderly patients. It has the advantages of exact procedural endpoint, shorter X-ray exposure, fewer complications and satisfied long-term effect PAF control.

Objective To discuss the feasibility of neuroendoscopic third ventriculostomy for chronic posttraumatic hydrocephalus (PTH).Methods Nineteen cases of chronic PTH treated with neuroendoscopic third ventriculostomy between October 2010 and October 2014 were analyzed retrospectively.There were 13 males and 6 females, aged 11-57 years (mean, 36.3 years).Trauma resulted from traffic accidents in 14 cases, falls in 4 cases and blunt object hitting in 1 case.Of the 19 cases analyzed, 5 had Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 13-15, 5 had score of 9-12 and 9 had score of 5-8 at admission.Results of operation were assessed with the Canada multicenter evaluation criteria.Prognosis was analyzed with the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS).Results All cases were followed up for mean 13.6 months (range, 6-26 months).Improvement of symptoms was achieved in 17 cases, but was not seen in 2 cases.Of the 2 cases, one required ventriculoperitoneal shunt two weeks after ineffective ventriculostomy, and one required second ventriculostomy one month after the presence of stoma blockage.No serious complications occurred.At follow-up, 9 cases had GOS score of 5, 8 cases had score of 4 and 2 cases had score of 3.Conclusions Neuroendoscopic third ventriculostomy is in line with the physical characteristics in cerebrospinal fluid circulation, which implies no shunt implantation, less operative trauma and less complications.The procedure is an effective approach for chronic PTH.

Objective To detect the levels of anti-gliadin IgA and anti-gliadin IgG antibodies in the plasma of the patients with schizophrenia, and to investigate the association between schizophrenia and anti-gliadin IgA, IgG bodies in a Chinese Han population, and to clarify the effect of gliadin on the occurrence of schizophrenia.Methods The plasma samples were collected from 428 patients with schizophrenia and 555 cases of normal control subjects in a Chinese Han population.The gliadin antibodies in plasma,including IgA and IgG,were tested using a native anti-gliadin ELISA test kit.The positive rates of plasma anti-gliadin IgA,and anti-gliadin IgG were tested by Chi-square test between the patients with schizophrenia and control subj ects. The differences of the levels of anti-gliadin IgA and anti-gliadin IgG were tested by Mann-Whitney U test between the patients with schizophrenia and control subjects.Results Compared with normal control group,the anti-gliadin IgA level and the positive rate of plasma anti-gliadin IgA in patient group were increased significantly(P<0.01),but there were no significant differences of the positive rate and the level of anti-gliadin IgG in plasma between patient and control groups (P>0.05).The anti-gliadin IgA levels in the patients with delusion of observation,delusion of being revealed,delusion of persecution, delusion of j ealousy, delusion of grandeur, incoherence of thinking, illogic thought, bizarre behavior,aggressive behavior,hallucination-delusion syndrome,poverty of thought,emotional blunting/apathy and aboulia were higher than that of the normal controls (P<0.05);the anti-gliadin IgG levels in the patients with delusion of being revealed and delusion of grandeur were higher than that of the normal controls (P<0.05 ). Conclusion Gliadin is associated with the onset of schizophrenia in Chinese Han population, and the plasma antibodies of gliadin maybe play an important rale in the onset of schizophrenia.
