2.Extremely low-frequency magnetic fields and cancers
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2007;11(5):990-993
OBJECTIVE: All the people in modern world are exposed to the industrial frequency magnetism (extremeiy low-frequency magnetic fields, ELFMF). There are important academic and practical significance to understand the influence of ELFMF on human diseases.DATA SOURCES: A computer-based online search was conducted in HighWire database for English literatures about the relation between ELFMF and human cancers from January 1991 to March 2006 by using the key words of "extremely low frequency magnetic fields, cancer".STUDY SELECTION: All the collected literatures were screened. Inclusion criteria: ① To browse the abstracts of the literatures to examine primitively, and select the articles experimented with the cytological, molecular biological and epidemiological methods. ② Choosing the separate articles by studying with different animals but having got the same results.③ Comparing and analyzing the original and reviewed articles about the relations between ELFMF and cancers.DATA EXTRACTION: A total 90 original and 4 reviewed literatures about ELFMF and cancers were collected and 29 and 4 papers were accordance with the criteria, respectively. In the 47 eliminated articles, 32 of them were unrelated or repetitive to our topic, 5 of them were published earlier or the conclusions were ambiguous, and other 10 of them used only the epidemiological methods.DATA SYNTHESIS : ① For a long time, the question whether 50/60 Hz ELFMF has the carcinogenic effects has been disputed in epidemiology and cytology. ② Majority statistical results in epidemiology showed that the crowds exposed to ELFMF for long or frequent time had an higher ratios suffering cancers than the normal, thereinto, the dangerousness such as leucocythemia, brain cancer and breast cancer is especially high. ③ However, the observation in cytology indicated that the normal cultural cells exposed to ELFMF had not increased the cell divisions or appeared cancer signals, and even in some reports, ELFMF may accelerate apoptosis, and reduced the possibility of cancerization. ④ Although ELFMF may not produce cancerization to normal cells, it may act as an promoter or co-promoter of cancer-prone cells, to accelerate the cancerization and exacerbation course of those cells. ⑤ The effect is related to influencing various links of signal transduction, changing translation of gene, changing activities of some enzymes and increasing production of free radicals.CONCLUSION: Although ELFMF may not produce cancerization to normal cells, it may act as an promoter or co-promoter of cancer-prone cells, to accelerate the cancerization and exacerbation course of those cells.

Objective To learn the status of health care personnel construction of primary health institutions in Jiangsu province. Methods In July 2015, cluster sampling method was adopted in which 14 areas from Jiangsu province were selected, then one or more township health centers from each area were selected , and a total of 23 hospitals were selected. Personal interview were applied to administrators, the medical staff and residents respectively. A self-made questionnaire was performed in medical personnel from different departments. The method of descriptive statistics was used to collect data of rural health care personnel in primary health institutions. Results A total of 521 questionnaires were collected. In the town hospitals, the average age of the health professional staff was 37 years old. 68.33% (356 people) of the staff had college diploma or technical secondary school diploma and 35.12%(183 people) of them had junior title. There were 10.94%(57 people) and 14.01%(73 people) of the staff had no title and no physician practice qualification respectively. Conclusion Grass-roots health personnel construction task is still formidable. Further efforts are needed to improve the educa-tional system of health talents. And the incentive mechanism should be improved to strengthen the at-traction and stability of grass-roots health personnel. Strengthening education and training for the exist-ing staff is also needed to intensify the ability to primary health care.

BACKGROUND: Environment pollution due to lead is severe day by day,and the lead-induced developmental toxicity of central nervous system is prominent.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of lead at low exposure level on neurobehavioral function of preschool children and provide basis for preventing childhood behavior disorders.DESIGN: Sampling survey.SETTING: Department of Children and Adolescent Health, Public Health College, Sun Yat-sen University.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 211 children of 4-6 years (109 boys and 102girls) were enrolled from a kindergarten of a populated area of Zhuhai City by randomized cluster sampling from September to October 2004.METHODS: 20 mL peripheral blood of finger tip was collected. Blood lead was determined with graphite stove atomic absorption spectrometry.According to the amount of blood lead, the children were divided into high blood lead exposure group (>100μg/L) and low blood lead exposure group (<100μg/L). Furthermore, they were also assigned into <50 μg/L group, 50μg/L- group, 100μg/L- group, 150 μg/L- group, 250- μg/L group. Achenbach's Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and self-designed questionnaire (composed of possibly effective factor on children's neurobehavioral function, such as age, sex, cultivation, family background and so on) were applied, filled by their parents under the instruction of professional staffs. Results and blood lead value were analyzed with first order correlation and multiple factors stepwise regressive analysis.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Blood lead level and each factor scores of CBCL, ②correlation analysis between blood lead value and behavioral factor score.RESULTS: A total of 211 questionnaires were sent out, and 211 were retrieved with 211 effective questionnaires. The effective rate was 100%. ①Score on externalizing and behavioral disorder rate in the high blood lead exposure group (13.28±6.26,18.26%) was significantly higher than those in the low blood lead exposure group (9.98±5.46,7.29%)( t=4.067 7,χ2=5.470, P<0.05). There was insignificant difference in score on internalizing and total score of CBCL between the low and high blood lead exposure groups. ②The behavioral disorder rate of different blood lead level had significance (χ2=13.695,P<0.01). The behavioral disorder rate in blood lead ≥ 150 μg/L was obviously higher than that of the former 3groups after further pairwise comparison (χ2 were 4.727, 6.261, 5.168;4.503, 5.911, 4.928, P<0.05), which revealed that the child behavioral disorder rate markedly increased when the blood lead was ≥ 150 μg/L.③Blood lead logarithm value had positive correlation with the scores on hyperactivity, aggression and defiance (r=0.316 4,0.282 8,0.188 6,P <0.05), and had no correlation with obesity, desintegration, truculence and sexual questionnaire (r=0.102 4,0.094 2,0.118 3,0.092 6,P > 0.05). ④After the stepwise regression analysis, the scores on hyperactivity, aggression and defiance factors were included in the regression equation. The results suggested that the effect of lead on child externalizing behavior still remained, and kept statistical meaning after confounding factors, such as controlling family and society, etc.CONCLUSION: Low-level lead exposure has adverse effects on externalizing behavior in preschool children.
