Objective To study the characteristics and correlation of tone perception and production in Man-darin Chinese in children with autism spectrum disorder(ASD).Methods Thirty-one children with ASD and 26 normal children were tested on their recognition of the four Mandarin tones.Simultaneously,the acoustic features of the four tones produced in the words"wa1"(frog,with first tone),"wa2"(doll,with second tone),"wa3"(tile,with third tone),and"wa4"(sock,with fourth tone)were analyzed and compared between the two groups.Results The ASD group exhibited significantly lower recognition accuracy rates for all four tones compared to the control group(P<0.05),with highly significant differences for the second and third tones(P<0.001).Significant differ-ences were also found in the standard deviation of the fundamental frequency(F0)for the production of all four tones between the ASD and control groups.Furthermore,the slope of the second tone and the turning point F0 and falling slope of the third tone showed significant differences(P<0.05 or P<0.001).Correlation analysis revealed that the recognition accuracy of the second tone was positively correlated with the slope of the first and second tones and the F0 standard deviation.The recognition accuracy of the third tone was negatively correlated with the turning point F0,and that of the fourth tone was negatively correlated with the falling slope of the third tone.Conclusion Children with ASD demonstrate deficits in tone perception and production,with prominent difficulties in recognizing and producing the second and third tones,and overall instability in tone production.

ObjectiveTo compare the effects of different doses and withdrawal time of 4-vinylcyclohexene diepoxide (VCD) on the reproductive endocrine levels of female rats, and to explore the effective, stable, and safe dosage of VCD for constructing a premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) rat model. MethodSD rats with regular estrous cycles were randomly divided into three groups: blank group, low-dose VCD group (80 mg·kg-1·d-1), and high-dose VCD group (160 mg·kg-1·d-1), with 24 rats in each group. After drug intervention, samples were collected on the 15th day (D15) and the 45th day (D45) after intervention. The general condition, rate of estrous cycle disturbance, serum hormone levels, ovarian histomorphology, follicle count, pregnancy outcome, and the protein and mRNA expression of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β and Smad2/3 were assessed. ResultCompared with the blank group, the low-dose VCD group showed no significant differences in the rate of estrous cycle disturbance or serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and estradiol (E2) levels. Ovarian tissue was damaged. Specifically, the number of primordial and primary follicles decreased on D15 (P<0.01), and the number of secondary follicles (P<0.01) and antral follicles (P<0.05) further decreased on D45. The litter number decreased on D15 (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference on D45. Furthermore, TGF-β protein levels increased on D15 (P<0.05) and D45 (P<0.01). The Smad2/3 levels increased on D45 (P<0.01), and TGF-β and Smad2/3 mRNA levels increased on D45 (P<0.05). Compared with the results in the blank group, the disturbance rate of the estrous cycle increased on D45 in the high-dose VCD group (P<0.01). The serum of FSH and LH increased (P<0.01), while E2 decreased (P<0.05). Ovarian tissue was damaged, and the downward trend of follicles at all levels was similar to that in the low-dose VCD group. The litter number significantly decreased on D15 and D45. TGF-β and Smad2/3 protein levels increased (P<0.05,P<0.01), and TGF-β mRNA increased on D45 (P<0.05). ConclusionHigh-dose VCD is an ideal method for constructing a POI rat model, being effective, stable, and safe.

Objective:To analyze epidemiology of gastric cancer five-year survival distribution in Zhejiang population-based cancer registration.Methods:The follow-up data of registrated gastric cancer cases diagnosed from 2008 to 2019 in 22 national cancer registry areas of Zhejiang Province were collected and divided into three diagnostic periods: 2008-2011, 2012-2015 and 2016-2019 to calculate five-year observed survival rates (OSRs), five-year relative survival rates (RSRs) and five-year age-standardized relative survival rates (ARSRs). The distribution of population characteristics (including gender, urban/rural, age group and occupation) and clinical characteristics (including the highest diagnostic institution, sub-site, pathological type and degree of differentiation) of gastric cancer survival rates in each period were analysed.Results:51 663 new cases of gastric cancer in 2008-2019 in the cancer registration area of Zhejiang Province were included in the analysis, and the ARSR of gastric cancer in 2008-2011, 2012-2015 and 2016-2019 showed an increasing trend (39.2%, 41.3% and 44.7%, respectively). In 2016-2019, the ARSR was similar across gender and urban and rural areas (44.4% for men and 45.7% for women; 44.9% in urban areas and 44.2% in rural areas); Among people with different occupations, the ARSR was highest among business and service workers (55.3%), the agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fisheries, water conservancy production workers and domestic workers were lower (41.5% and 43.2%, respectively). The highest diagnostic institution was the provincial hospital with a higher gastric cancer survival rate (47.0%) than the municipal (43.4%) and district (43.6%) levels. The ARSR for gastric cancer was relatively high in the lesser curvature (59.7%), pylorus (50.4%), antrum (49.3%), and greater curvature (48.7%), and lowest in cardia (38.9%). Among the major pathological types, adenocarcinoma (NOS) had an ARSR of 48.1%, mucinous adenocarcinoma 41.3%, imprinted cell carcinoma 39.4%, and squamous carcinoma 33.4%. The ARSR for highly differentiated, moderately differentiated, poorly differentiated and undifferentiated gastric cancers were 80.6%, 57.9%, 43.2% and 36.8%, respectively.Conclusion:The 5-year survival rate of gastric cancer in Zhejiang Province is high and on the rise, with similar survival rates in different genders, urban and rural areas, and significant differences in the survival rates of gastric cancer patients with different occupational groups, highest diagnostic institutions, tumour sub-sites, pathological types and differentiation degrees.

OBJE CTIVE To inv estigate the antibiotic use and rationality for children in community health service institutions from Beijing ,and to provide reference for promoting rational use of antibiotics in primary healthcare institutions. METHODS All the prescriptions for children from primary healthcare institutions in 2019 were extracted from prescription review system of community health service institutions in Beijing. The use of antibiotics was described according to the related indicators of the World Health Organization/International Network for Rational Use of Drug (WHO/INRUD). The structure of antibiotics use was analyzed according to the anatomical therapeutic chemical (ATC)classification as well as the WHO AWaRe classification and diagnosis. RESULTS A total of 288 primary healthcare institutions and 10 422 prescriptions for children were included. The number of institutions in high-income areas ,middle-income areas and low-income areas were 119,80 and 89 respectively,and the number of prescriptions involved were 2 430,2 163 and 5 829 respectively,including 1 447 prescriptions involving antibiotics (13.9%). Among 1 447 prescriptions,the rate of prescriptions involving combined use of antibiotics was 1.4%(20 pieces);the rate of prescriptions involving antibiotics injection was 9.7%(141 pieces);4.8% antibiotics prescriptions were rated as unreasonable (69 pieces). The three most commonly used antibiotics were the macrolides (40.2%),the second-generation cephalosporins (26.5%) and the third-generati on cephalosporins (23.4%). The proportion of antibioti cs prescriptions from groups of access ,caution, reserve and not recommended were 9.1%,92.1%,0.3%,and 0, respectively. The rate of antibiotics prescriptions fortonsillitis was the highest (31.9% ). Among 69 irrationalantibiotics prescriptions ,main of them were irrational drug use (56 pieces,81.2%). CONCLUSIONS The rate of antibiotics prescriptions for children in primary healthcare institutions from Beijing is lower than the standard of WHO antibiotics prescription rate (20.0%-26.8%),but the use rate of antibiotics at caution grade is too high.

OBJECTIVE To provide reference and suggestions for dynamic adjustment of classification management lists for clinical use of antibiotics and the promotion of rational use of antibiotics. METHODS The latest version of provincial classification management lists for clinical use of antibiotics were aggregated into the “national list”, which was compared with 2021 WHO AWaRe classification list of antibiotics (hereinafter referred as to “AWaRe classification list”) to make a descriptive statistical analysis about the number of different classes of antibiotics in the two lists and their differences. RESULTS Based on the different classification principles, 262 kinds of antibiotic preparations in the national list were classified into non-restricted (84), restricted (83) and highly-restricted classes (95), and 258 kinds in the AWaRe classification list were classified into access (87), watch (142) and reserve classes (29); 182 kinds of antibiotic preparations were both included in the two lists. In the national list, among the non-restricted antibiotic preparations, 36 kinds belonged to access class, 30 belonged to watch class and 1 belonged to reserve class; among restricted antibiotic preparations, 7 belonged to access class, 46 kinds belonged to watch class and 3 belonged to reserve class; among highly-restricted antibiotic 82805019。E-mail:yyy211anne@163.com preparations, 9 belonged to access class, 35 belonged to watch class and 15 kinds belonged to reserve class. Among them, 91 kinds of antibiotic preparations were not recommended by WHO (20 kinds) or not included in the AWaRe classification list (71 kinds). CONCLUSIONS The classification methods of two lists are different in classification principles and grading of some similar drugs. The classification management list of antibiotics is one of the key points of antibiotics management, more research is needed in the future to provide sufficient evidence for optimizing antibiotics classification management.

OBJECTIVE:To provide re ference for scientific management and rational use of antibiotics. METHODS :Provincial antibiotic classification management lists were retrieved from official websites of provincial health administrative departments , CNKI and other search engines from Apr. 2012 to Mar. 2020. The difference and adjustment of those lists were analyzed descriptively. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS : Since April 2012, 30 provinces released provincial antibiotic classification management lists ,among which only 10 provinces updated the lists. In the provincial classification management lists ,the list of Jiangsu included the most antibiotics (208 kinds),that of Xinjiang involved the least (101 kinds). Among the 253 antibiotics included in the provincial lists ,134 antibiotics had two management levels ,and 19 antibiotics had three management levels. The 10 antibiotics with the most times of adjustment in the provincial lists mainly include nitimidazoles ,β-lautam compound preparations and quinolones. There was the phenomenon that the same antibiotics were simultaneously included or withdrawn from the lists ,and the grading management level was increased or decreased in the provincial adjustment. Provincial classification management lists updated slowly in China ,and the quantity and classification of drugs selected in the list were quite different. It is suggested that provincial health administrative departments should continuously optimizeand improve classification management list of antibiotics , and form a long-term mechanism of dynamic adjustment of list and inter-provincial evidence sharing ,so as to promote the rational clinical use of antibiotics ,and curb bacterial resistance.

OBJECTIVE:To provide scientific basis for evaluating the burden caused by antibiotic resistance (AbR)and reference for policy making on crubing AbR in China. METHODS :Databases including CNKI ,Wanfang database ,VIP,PubMed, Scopus,Medline and EconoLite from Jan. 1st 2016 to Aug. 10th 2020 were searched to collect studies on burden caused by AbR in China . After independent literature screening anddata extraction ,Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS)was used to evaluate the literature quality ,and a descriptive analysis was conduced to evaluate the health and economic burden caused by AbR. RESULTS :A total of 27 Chinese and English literatures were included. The NOS scores of i ncluded literatures were 4-6,and all of them were retrospective case-control study ; the patients were divided into case group (resistance infection ) and control group (susceptible infection or non-infection ); mortality,length of stay and medical expenditure were commonly applied as the measurement indexes. In the included studies ,the mortality of patients infected with AbR bacteria was 0.7-12.0 times that of patients infected with susceptible bacteria ;the mean or medium value of total length of stay was 0.9-2.5 times that of patients infected with susceptible bacteria ;the mean or medium of total medical expenditure was 1.0-2.7 times that of patients with susceptible bacteria infection. The differences in these indicators were greater between patients infected with AbR infections and those without becterial infections. CONCLUSIONS :Bacterial drug resistance could increase the health and economic burden. However ,the existing relevant studies were mainly single center researches,the sample representation was insufficient ;the research design did not adjust for time-dependent bias ;the repeatability was low ,and the perspective of evalution was limited. It is urgent to carry out multicenter studies with higher quality to comprehensively evaluate the health and economic burden caused by AbR in China.

Objective:To develop a Risk Assessment Index System (RAIS) on HIV infection among young students based on Delphi method and to provide individual HIV infection risk assessment, targeted prevention and control measures.Methods:Delphi method was applied to determine the index system and weight of the assessment tool through three rounds of expert consultation and overall consideration of opinions and suggestions from 19 experts.Results:The positivity coefficients of three rounds of expert consultation were 100%. The authority coefficient of experts was between 0.887 and 0.945. The Kendall's W coefficients through first, second and third round specialist consultation was 0.379, 0.329 and 0.248, respectively (all P<0.001). The coefficients of variation in the third round were all less than 0.25, indicating that experts' opinion tend to be consistent and the results are highly reliable. The HIV infection risk assessment index system among young students consisted of 7 first grade indices and 54 second grade indices, of which weight was calculated. Conclusions:The RAIS on HIV infection for young students was initially established based on Delphi method, and could be used in the development of HIV infection risk assessment tools for personalized prevention and intervention among young students. However, the reliability, validity and effect of this assessment index system need to be further evaluated.
