BACKGROUND: Malnutrition and overnutrition are the two problems during growth and development of high-school students.OBJECTIVE: To understand the situation and relevant factors of malnutrition and overnutrition of high-school students.DESIGN: Transverse investigation was designed.SETTING: Health Supervision Institute of Chongqing Health Bureau; Department of Nutrition & Food Hygiene, Chongqing University of Medical Sciences; the Eighth Middle School of ChongqingPARTICIPANTS: Totally 896 students in 15 classes were collected from one full-time middle school in Shapingba district in Chongqing by cluster sampling method from March to May 2004. The students were excluded if they suffered from hereditary metabolic disease and secondary pathological malnutrition or obesity due to trauma or other diseases. All of participants were in the known in the investigation. Of those, 826 students filled up the questionnaire in detail (the effective rate was 92.19%), in which, 414 students were male and 412 students female, aged varied from 13 to 18 years.METHODS: The students chose were in the investigation with questionnaire and the contents of it included basic physical situation, state of sickness, situation of parents, dietary behavior, nutritional knowledge, dietary habits, etc. The students filled up the questionnaire by them own and handed over on the spot. The evaluation of student nutrition state adopted the heights and body masses in recent physical examination scale, in reference to the criteria in "height and body mass of Chinese students aged from 7 to 22 years". The standard body mass was 80% of body masses of people with same height, based on which, the standard body mass was 100%, that less than the standard by 90% was taken as malnutrition and more than it by 120% was taken as obesity. Non-conditional logistic stepwise regression was used to analyze the data so as to probe into the factors of malnutrition and obesity in middle-school students.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: [1] Morbidity of malnutrition and obesity in middle-school students. [2] Factors of malnutrition and obesity in middle-school students.RESULTS: Totally 826 students entered result analysis. [1] Morbidity of malnutrition and obesity: it was 9.44% and 24.21% respectively, in which,the morbidity of malnutrition.for female was higher than male [4.84%,14.08% (x2=15.1036, P ＜ 0.05)] and the morbidity of obesity in male was higher than female [30.09%, 18.2% (x2=10.5737, P ＜ 0.05)]. [2] Factors of malnutrition and obesity: significant correlation was present between malnutrition and 5 factors, named sex, indulgence in or being choosy food,sleeping time, breakfast and animal internal organs (P ＜ 0.05-0.01). Significant correlation was present between obesity and 5 factors, named sex,body mass index of father, eating velocity, midnight snack and indulgence in or being choosy food (P ＜ 0.05-0.01).CONCLUSION: It is discovered in the investigation that the morbidity of malnutrition and obesity in middle-school students are very high and that is all closely related to sex and indulgence in or being choosy food. In order to correct malnutrition and obesity in middle-school students, it is necessary to provide correct nutritional knowledge and help them arranging diet rationally and establishing healthy life pattern.

OBJECTIVE To understand the related factors,the situation and dynamics of hospital infection in order to effectively prevent and control it.METHODS From 12306 cases of inpatients who had investigated retrospectively,706 cases were with nosocomial infection monitored from Jan to Dec 2006.RESULTS The hospital infection rate was 5.74% in 2006.The hematological disease and,cancer patients and the elderly,were the high-risk population.The main infection site was the respiratory tract.Fungi accounted for 21.35%,the top was the Candida albicans.CONCLUSIONS To strengthen the training of medical staff,to monitor the key departments of hematology and cancer and respiratory diseases and to attend the disease surveillance and rationally use of antibiotics are the effective measures to reduce hospital-acquired infections.

ObjectiveTo observe effect of head and body acupuncture and moxibustion on stroke.Methods183 stroke patients were randomly divided into 3 groups, head acupuncture and moxibustion, body acupuncture and moxibustion, and head body acupuncture and moxibustion. After two months treatment, effects of 3 groups were evaluated.ResultsThere were no differences between head group and body group, body group and head body group, but there was significantly difference between head body group and head group (P<0.05).ConclusionThe head body acupuncture and moxibustion can gain the best clinical effect on stroke patients compared with simply head or body acupuncture and moxibustion.

Objective To discuss the effective measures for skin allergy caused by hyaline mem-brane after deep venous catheterization. Methods Patients (102 eases) were divided into the control group(50 cases) and the test group(52 cases).3M hyaline membrane was patched on the skin directly to fix the catheter after successful puncture in the control group.While in the test group 3M hyaline membrane was patched on the skin after 3M painless protective membrane was sprayed on the skin. Results The incidence of skin allergy in the test group was lower than that of the control group. Conclusions Spray of 3M painless protective membrane before usage of hyaline membrane to fix the catheter could prevent the incidence of skin allergy after deep venous catheterization.

Objective To reveal and forecast the incidence trend of Brucellosis, in order to provide acientific basis for future intervention and policy-making. Methods Descriptive epidemiological method was used to analyze and statistically describe the distribution of the disease in different times, different locations and different (7.0783/10 million to 13.1257/10 million) and Qingxu ( 1.4811/10 million to 8.5241/10 million) were higher,followed by Yangqu county(0 to 5.8232/10 million), Xiaodian(0.8108/l0 million to 2.4229/10 million) and Jinyuan district ( 0.5329/ 10 million to 1.5896/10 million), and the remaining counties(districts) in the annual There were 223 cases of Brucellosis patients from 2006 to 2009 in Taiyuan. Vocational high risk population was farmers, with a total of 140 cases, accounting for 62.78% of the total number of incidence, followed by students and workers, respectively, 13, 14 cases, accounting for 5.83% and 6.28%, other occupational groups, 56 cases,77.58%;28 cases aged above 60 years, accounting for 12.56%;22 cases aged younger than 19 years, accounting identical in the four years, most cases occurred in spring and summer and showing a clear seasonal high.Conclusions The incidence trend of Brucellosis is on the rise from 2006 to 2009. High risk population is farmer,and the number of younger patients is on the rise, we propose strengthen protection for high risk groups.

The roles of voltage-dependent K(+) channels during activation and damage in alveolar macrophages (AMs) exposed to different silica particles were examined. Rat AMs were collected by means of bronchoalveolar lavage, and were adjusted to 5x10(5)/mL. After AMs were exposed to different concentrations (0, 25, 50, 100, 200 mug/mL) of quartz particles and 100 mug/mL amorphous silica particles for 24 h, the voltage-depended K(+) current in AMs was measured by using patch clamp technique. Meanwhile the leakage of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and the viability of AMs were detected respectively. Patch clamp studies demonstrated that AMs possessed outward delayed and inward rectifying K(+) current. Exposure to quartz particles increased the outward delayed K(+) current but it had no effect on inward rectifier K(+) current in AMs. Neither of the two K(+) channels in AMs was affected by amorphous silica particles. Cytotoxicity test showed that both silica particles could damage AM membrane and result in significant leakage of LDH (P<0.05). MTT studies, however, showed that only quartz particles reduced viability of AMs (P<0.05). It is concluded that quartz particles can activate the outward delayed K(+) channel in AMs, which may act as an activating signal in AMs to initiate an inflammatory response during damage and necrosis in AMs induced by exposure to quartz particle. K(+) channels do not contribute to the membrane damage of AMs.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of Fluency stent-graft (Bard Corp) in transjugular intrahcpatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS).Methods The clinical data of 21 consecutive patients treated by TIPS using Fluency stent-grafts were retrospectively reviewed.All of them were recurrent variceal bleeding secondary to portal vein hypertension,1 was bleeding secondary to primary hepatic carcinoma with port vein thrombns,and 1 was Budd-Chiari syndrome.They were followed-up after (10.1 ± 4.6) months (2.0 to 24.0 months).Stent-grafts patancy,portal vein pressure and liver function were recorded and compared.Results Twenty-five stent-grafts were successfully implanted in 21 patients,23 stent grafts were 8 mm 2 were 10 mm in diameter.The covered length of the stents varied from 6 to 8 cm.The bleeding was stopped and the portal vein pressure decreased significantly from (25.4 ± 3.5) mm Hg to (15.4 ± 2.8) mm Hg (t = 12.495,P < 0.01).During the follow-up period,The patient with primary HCC and portal vein thrombosis died 4 months after the procedure. One case had a new primary HCC during the follow-up and died 24 months after the procedure.One ease with variceal bleeding secondary to portal vein hypertension died of muhisystem organ failure.One case occluded in the hepatic vein and had another stcnt graft implanation.The other 17 cases had no stenosis after 7 to 17 months follow-up.Ultrasound showed that the stents were patent 1 week before the patients died.Three cases had transient symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy and recovered after treatment.The Child scores of the 19 patients survived more than 6 months were 6.3 ±1.4 before and 6.4 ± 1.9 after the procedure without significant difference (t = 0.645,P > 0.05).Conclusion The Fluency stent-grafts could increase the patency of the TIPS,but its efficacy on the long-term effect and hepatic encephalopathy need further investigation.

Objective To investigate the causes and managements of dys-seal syndrome (DSS) developed after esophageal stent placement. Methods From June 2001 to June 2008, esophageal stenting was performed in 98 consecutive patients with malignant esophageal obstruction. A total of 99 metallic stents were used. Of 98 patients. gastroesophageal anastomosis stricture was seen in 19, preoperative radiotherapy history in 26 and tracheoesophageal fistula in 34. Results DSS occurred in 7 patients, with an occurrence rate of 7.14% ,which was significant higher than that in patients with preoperative radiotherapy history and in patients showing marked dilated esophagus proximal to the obstructed site (X~2=0.017, 0.005, P=0.036, 0.013, respectively). After treatment, such as fasting, IPN or nasogastric feeding,only 1 case retumed to semi-liquid diet. Among the rest 6 cases of DSS, an additional stent was employed in one (but in vain), nasogastric feeding tube was used in 2, and removal of the stent under endoscopic guidance was carried out in 3. Conclusion DSS is one of the complications developed after esophageal stent placement, its prognosis is rather poor. Removal of the inserted stent may be the optimal treatment. The prevention of DSS includes proper pre-operation evaluation, selection of suitable stent, enhancement of perioperative nutritional support, etc.
