Objective To know the implementary circs and short-dated effects of cooking stoves improvement in reducing fluoride level in the endemic fluorosis areas and to offer the background information and scientific basis for continuing the development of cooking stoves improvement in reducing fluoride level. Methods To do the surveys in the households, 769 families were selected and investigated from 38 000 peasant families in the program, by cluster sampling with 2% sample rate and 70 families were randomly selected from them, the fluoride levels in the air, foodstuff, non-staple food was determined. Results 98.7% of the families in the cooking stoves improvement areas could rightly use the improved stove. The fluoride levels in corn and hot peppers were greatly improved in county A compared with that in 2000, but the fluoride levels in the air, foodstuff, non-staple food still exceeded the standard limit, not all reached the national standard. Conclusion The headstream interventions measure in coal-burning type endemic fluorosis areas is effective. Controlling the fluoride pollution of capsicum and tea is necessary, the production methods must be improved. The health education and management should be strengthened for reducing fluoride level in the investigated areas.

Objective To explore the new model of teaching assessment and evaluation of sanitary microbiology studied by students majoring in preventive medicine. Methods Combination of formative assessment and summative assessment was applied in the teaching for students in under-graduate preventive medicine class in Grade 2007-2010. To get better effect, method was improved constantly. Pearson correlation analysis was used to students' formative assessment and summative as-sessment, and comprehensive evaluation achievement(the first two added). Moreover, the effects were assessed by teachers' self-evaluation and their exchanging ideas with students. Results Ranging from 10.06 to 12.22, the standard deviations of four grades' summative assessment results were the biggest number, so the summative assessment was more effective. Students' formative assessment, summative assessment, and comprehensive assessment for this course were positively correlated(P<0.01) for suc-cessive four years. Teachers and students approved of the new mode. Conclusion The effective com-bination of formative assessment and summative assessment was helpful for student to develop and assess learning ability and overall qualities, and for teachers to improve teaching level.

Objective To investigate the pretreatment and post-treatment effect of reduced glutathione (GSH) on acute ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) of rat kidney. Methods Fifty adult SD rats were divided into 5 groups: control group (Sham group), ischemia reperfusion group (I/R group), GSH pretreatment group (pre-treatment group), and GSH post-processing group (post-treatment group), with ten rates in each group. Animals in pre-treatment group were injected 4% GSH 100 mg/kg intraperitoneally at 24th , 16th , 8th hour and 45th minute before surgery. Animals in post-treatment group were administrated GSH with the same dosage at 45th minute, 6th, 12th and 18th hour after surgery. Creatinine (Cr), urea nitrogen (BUN) level, the total superox-ide dismutase (T-SOD) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) levels in serum were measured at 24th hour after surgery. Histopathological changes were checked by H. E staining. Results Damage on kid-ney structure of animals in pre-treatment group was less than that in I/R group. There was little pathological change on kidney of those in pre-treatment group. Serum Cr, BUN, MDA and NO levels were all decreased but T-SOD activity increased in pre-treatment and post-treatment group when compared with those in I/R group (P <0.05), (P < 0.05). T - SOD activity in post-treatment group was higher than that in pre-treatment group (P <0.05). Conclusion GSH can protect rats against acute renal ischemia-reperfusion injury within 24 hours before and after kidney ischemia-reperfusion , especially after ischemia-reperfusion.

Objective To analyze the correlation between inflammation,nutritional indicators and hy-poproteinemia in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD).Meth-ods The clinical data of patients with AECOPD admitted to the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University from January 2020 to September 2022 were ret-rospectively analyzed,and the patients were divided into the hypoproteinemia group(n=73)and the non-hy-poproteinemia group(n=141)according to whether the serum albumin(ALB)was lower than 35 g/L.The clinical data,inflammatory indicators and nutritional indicators of the two groups were compared,Spearman correlation analysis was performed,and binary logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the influ-encing factors of patients with AECOPD complicated with hypoproteinemia.Results There were statistically significant differences in age,length of hospital stay,and body weight between the two groups(P<0.05).There were no significant differences in gender,number of hospitalizations in the past 1 year,height,diabetes,hypertension and proportion of coronary heart disease(P>0.05).Compared with the non-hypoproteinemia group,the hypoproteinemia group had longer hospital stays and higher levels of C-reactive protein,neutrophil/albumin ratio(NAR),neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio(NLR),platelet-lymphocyte ratio(PLR),and systemic immunoinflammatory index(SII).The prognostic nutritional index(PNI),body mass index(BMI),hemoglo-bin and total protein levels were lower,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Body weight,BMI,hemoglobin,total protein,PNI and AECOPD patients with hypoproteinemia were negatively cor-related(P<0.05),while age,length of hospital stay,C-reactive protein,NAR,NLR,PLR,SII and AECOPD patients with hypoproteinemia were positively correlated(P<0.05).Binary logistic regression analysis showed that PNI,SII and NLR were the influencing factors of hypoproteinemia in AECOPD patients.Conclusion In clinical practice,attention should be paid to and timely correction of hypoproteinemia in pa-tients with AECOPD,improvement of inflammatory indicators and nutritional status of patients,and preven-tion of acute exacerbation.

With the implementation of the national biomedical innovation strategy, new requirements for ethical review of clinical trials have been put forward, and more attention has been paid to the ethical pre-review. Based on the current situation of clinical trials and ethical review of new drugs in China, this paper discussed the concept, advantages and necessity of ethical pre-review, sorted out the problems and challenges in the implementation of ethical pre-review at this stage, and put forward the following suggestions on how to better implement ethical pre-review in clinical trials under the pharmaceutical innovation strategy: the complete definition of "ethical pre-review" should be made clearly; ethical review should be carried out on the basis of necessary reference; the scope of application of ethical pre-review should be clarified; after the ethical pre-review, the statement of the approval document should be standardized and accurate.

Ethical review runs through the whole process of drug clinical trials, and is a critical step to ensure the rights and interests of subjects. This paper analyzed and discussed the role and positioning of ethical review in new drug clinical trials, cleared the principles of ethical review, identified the responsibilities of ethical review, and clarified the authority of ethical review approval documents. The ethical review should primarily focus on the ethics of the clinical trials, not replace other professional institutions to review the clinical trials’ legality and scientific nature. Ethical approval is only one of the necessary conditions for conducting clinical trials, not the only factor. It is recommended to strengthen the publicity and popularization of scientific and technological ethics awareness, improve the clinical trial approval mechanism, and optimize the phrasing of ethical review approval documents. It is warranted to further optimize the quality of ethical review, improve the construction of ethical review system, ultimately achieve the unity of promoting innovation and preventing risks, so as to effectively realize the benign interaction between high-quality development of scientific and technological innovation and high-level safety.
