Objective To analyze the cognition, utilization and satisfaction on pregnancy health management of basic public health services. and to find out potential problems and provide suggestions for promoting equality in rural basic public health. The Weishan Lake area was selected as the sample point and the left behind pregnant women in the countryside as control. Methods In the period from May 2016 to July, questionnaires were designed for the pregnancy health management of basic public health services, 330 left-behind pregnant women and 300 rural immigrating pregnant women were selected as our target interviewees. The average age of rural immigrating pregnant women and the left-behind pregnant women was (28.6 ± 3.7) years, and (28.3 ± 3.4) years old, respectively; the degree of education of rural immigrating pregnant women and the left-behind pregnant women was secondary specialized school or high school and junior middle school, respectively. The occupation of rural immigrating pregnant women was mainly workers;accounting for 31.4%, while the occupation of the left-behind pregnant women was farming, accounting for 36.7%. Results The awareness rate ofgeneral pregnancy examination and gynecological examinationin health management items of rural immigrating pregnant women and left-behind pregnant women was the highest, which were 77.7% and 78.3%, respectively, and the lowest awareness rate of the 2 prenatal follow-up was the lowest in the third trimester, which was 22.6% and 23.0%, respectively. The difference was not statistically significant. The maternal health management service understanding rate of rural immigrating pregnant women and left-behind pregnant women were 24.7% and 17.9% respectively , the difference was statistically significant (Z=-1.993, P=0.046);the awareness rate of delivery and breastfeeding in late pregnancy were 36.2% and 47.6% respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=7.933, P=0.005). The rate of the registering of the maternal health care handbook of rural immigrating pregnant women and left-behind pregnant women were 40.4%and 54%respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=11.065, P=0.001), Among them, the rate of registering in township hospitals was 46.6% and 73.3% respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=21.104, P=0.0000); the utilization rate of 3 or more antepartum examination and follow-up services was 8.4%and 23%respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=23.878, P=0.000). The growth and development of the health of pregnant women and fetal assessment and utilization rates were 9.8% and 23.6%, the difference was statistically significant (χ2=20.460, P=0.000); prenatal guidance (childbirth preparation, breastfeeding) utilization rate were 8%, 13.7%, the difference was statistically significant (χ2=5.011, P=0.027);abnormal or critical maternal referral utilization rate were 22%and 34.8%, the difference was statistically significant (χ2=12.133, P=0.001). Conclusion Imbalance exists in acquiring basic public health services of the two pregnant women cohort, the left-behind pregnant women are better than the rural immigrating pregnant women. Therefore, the government should propagate this service by multi-channel to improve their cognition and utilization of this policy implemented, and to promote the development of the services.

The manifestation of clinical symptoms of cerebral small-vessel disease (SVD) is cognitive disorders. Its pathological changes are manifested as leukoaraiosis and/or lacunar infarction. However, it is not clear whether cognitive disorders caused by SVD is correlated with the severity of white matter damage. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy analysis can noninvasively detect metabolite concentrations of brain tissue in vivo and directly reflect cerebral metabolism; Diffusion-tensor imaging is a novel noninvasive technique for specific observation of white matter through different parameters such as mean diffusivity and anisotropy for quantitative evaluation of the abnormalities of fine structure of white matter. The combination of magnetic resonance spectroscopy analysis and diffusion-tensor imaging may more sensitively reveal the severity of white matter damage, and provide a research tool for cognitive disorders caused by SVD.resonance imaging

BACKGROUND:Bone transplantation is the only method for the repair of bone defects. However, traditional bone transplantation has some disadvantages. Bone tissue engineering, as a new treatment strategy, can achieve the desire therapeutic outcomes. OBJECTIVE:To fabricate a new tissue-engineered scaffold for improving bone repair effectively. METHODS:Hydroxyapatites (HA) with different Ca/P (1.50/1.67) ratios were synthesized by chemical precipitation method and microwave radiation method. Composite scaffolds of palygorskite (APC)/HA/polycaprolactone (PCL)/col agen (COL), APC/calcium deficiency HA (CDHA)/PCL/COL, and APC/PCL/COL (control group) were prepared by solution perfusion-solvent evaporation and ion leaching method. The material characterization, active ingredients, hydrophilic property, and mechanical properties were evaluated by scanning electron microscope, infrared spectrometer, surface contact measuring instrument and universal mechanics, respectively. The histocompatibility of the implant with the host was assessed through animal experiments. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:By precise control of pH range, HA with different Ca/P ratios could be synthesized. The mechanical properties, air permeability, hydrophilic property of the APC/HA/PCL/COL and APC/CDHA/PCL/COL composite materials were significantly increased compared with the APC/PCL/COL composite material (P<0.05), while the porosity, water absorption expansion rate were significantly decreased (P<0.05). Results from our animal experiments showed that no immune inflammatory reaction was observed suggesting that the composite materials hold good histocompatibility. To conclude, the APC/HA (1.50/1.67)/PCL/COL composite materials are promising bone substitutes in bone tissue repair.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical features and factors inlfuencing the prognosis of childhood non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL).MethodsPathologically diagnosed 78 pediatric patients with NHL and treated in the Afifliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2004 to August 2013 were collected and analyzed. Patients were grouped according to age, sex, tumor size, immunologic classiifcation, B-symptoms, LDH, hemoglobin and clinical staging. The 5-years event-free survival rate (EFS) were calculated and analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method, and the difference of the survival rate between groups were com-pared. Using Cox proportional hazards model, we analyzed the possible factors that might inlfuence 5-years event-free survival rate EFS , such as age and clinical staging. TheOR value and the 95%CI were calculated.ResultsAmong the 78 cases, median age of onset is 7 years old, male to female ratio is 2.90:1, there are 25 cases of T-cell type and 53 cases of B-cell type. According to pathological types,Burkitt lymphoma is the most common (34.6%), followed by T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (20.5%), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (11.5%). According to the St. Jude malignant lymphoma staging system, there are 2 cases in stage I, 9 in stageⅡ, 35 in stageⅢ and 32 in stageⅣ. Swelling of periphery lymph node (80.7%) was observed as initial symptom in 26 cases of lymphoblastic lymphoma. Among 45 cases of mature B-cell tumor, the main clinical feature including abdominal cavity and gingival were observed in 27 cases of Burkitt lymphoma. Among the 73 cases received treatments, 66 cases (90.5%) attained CR (complete remission) and 4 cases (5.5%) attained PR (partial remission) by cytology and radiographic assessment after two course of combined chemotherapy, 2 cases (2.7%) rapidly relapsed after the remisson of one course treatment, 1 case (1.3%) appeared the central nervous system inifltration in the chemotherapy. With median follow-up time of 42 months, the 5-year EFS of the 73 cases was (67.0+5.5)%. Single factor analysis showed that B-symptom, LDH, and clinical staging were signiifcantly correlated with prognosis (P<0.05), while age, sex, tumor size, hemoglobin and immune classiifcation was independent of prog-nosis (P>0.05). Multiple factor analysis showed that LDH and clinical staging inlfuenced the prognosis (OR=3.34,95%CI 2.275?10.683,P<0.01;OR=4.354,95%CI 1.519?12.475,P<0.01) .Conclusionclinical features of childhood NHL are variable. LDH and clinical staging at primary diagnosis are important factors affecting the prognosis.
