Objective To understand the moving patterns of Oncomelania snails, intermediate host of S.japonicum, in the water bodies. . Methods. Based on the biological features of the snails, methods and techniques in relation to hydraulics and silt engineering were adopted to investigate the active scrawl ability and passive movement of the snails. . Results and Conclusion . The scrawl speed of the snails themselves was very low, 2.^45 mm per minute only. The active movement in the water current was therefore almost negligible. The major moving patterns of the snails in rivers and canals were that: 1. Snails adsorbed on different kinds of carriers drifted on the water. 2. Snails suspended on the water and drifted with the current, these were the young snails under 7 weeks of age. Adult snail showed a strong ability of adhesion, 12 times higher than its body weight.

Objective To observe the efficacy of a kind of complex composed of biphasic ceramic biologic bone (BCBB), bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on the repair of necrotic areas of the femoral head. Methods The femoral head necrosis model of 64 femoral heads in 32 rabbits induced with microwave heating were randomly divided into four groups, which implanted with nothing (group A), BCBB/BMP (group B), BCBB/BMP/bFGF (group C) and with cancellous bone autograft (group D). The specimens were harvested separately at the end of 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks after operation. 4 femoral heads were taken off at each interval in every group. A series of examinations were carried out including of naked eyes and gross anatomic observation, X-ray, histology, and blood vessel immunohistochemical staining. Results In group A, 1 femoral head collapsed by the end of 12 weeks, and there was only a little osteoid tissue formed. At the same time, a lot of new bone formed in group B and group C, and the boundary between the bone grafting area and the post bone still existed, but the boundary was unclear in group D, with the density consistent to the post bone. Under X-ray, the defect could be found and one femoral head collapsed in group A by the end of 12 weeks. The density of bone grafting area was high and the boundary to the post bone was unclear in group B and in group C. The density of bone grafting area was the same as the post bone and the boundary between them was unclear in group D. There was only a little osteoid tissue formed in group A by the end of 4 weeks. At the same time, there was a little new bone formed in group B, and BCBB was partly degraded. There was a lot of new bone formed in group C and group D, and BCBB was partly degraded in group C, but cancellous bone autograft was almost absorbed in group D. The new bone area by the end of 4, 8 and 12 weeks from more to less were: group C and group D (P>0.05), group B, and group A (P<0.05). At the end of 2, 4 and 8 weeks, the blood vessel area of group C was more than that of group A, group B, and group D (P<0.05). Conclusion The BCBB/BMP/bFGF complex can induced osteoinduction and revascularization, to repair rabbit femoral head necrosis as effective as cancellous bone autograft.

Objective:To explore the difference of blood pressure compliance rate in patients with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) in the internet of things (IoT) follow-up and conventional care.Methods:CAPD patients from 3 peritoneal dialysis centers from May 2019 to October 2019 were included in this retrospective cohort study. They were divided into IoT group and conventional care group according to the way of follow-up. The difference in blood pressure compliance rate during 1 year of follow-up between the two groups was observed. The primary outcome was defined as the proportion of patients with blood pressure compliance rate≥85%.Results:A total of 75 patients were included in this study, in during 32 patients in IoT group and 43 patients in conventional care group. The comparison of baseline data between the two groups showed that the dialysis age of patients in IoT group was shorter ( P<0.01). After a median of 9(9, 12) months follow-up, the median blood pressure compliance rate was 85.2% (65.2%, 95.1%), and 25 patients (65.6%) in IoT group had met the target of blood pressure compliance rate≥85%, which was significantly higher than that in the conventional care group (17 cases, 39.5%) ( χ2=4.996, P=0.025). The cumulative probability of the target of blood pressure compliance rate≥85% was 97%, 90%, 90% and 52%, respectively in IoT group, while 95%, 86%, 55% and 34%, respectively in conventional care group after 3, 6, 9 and 12 months of follow-up, and the different between the two groups was significant (Log-rank χ2=4.774, P=0.029). Adjusted for age, sex and dialysis age, the multivariate Cox proportional risk regression model showed that serum creatinine level(for every 1 μmol/L increase, HR=1.002, 95% CI 1.000-1.003, P=0.033), follow-up mode (IoT follow-up vs conventional care, HR=0.023, 95% CI 0.003-0.210, P=0.001), follow-up times (for each additional time, HR=0.879, 95% CI 0.823-0.939, P<0.001) and the rate of weight compliance (for each increase of 1%, HR=0.964, 95% CI 0.939-0.991, P=0.008) was the independent influencing factors for the blood pressure compliance rate<85%. The results of subgroup analysis showed that patients with shorter dialysis age (<10 months) and in the centers where the nurses finished the PD follow-up work as part-time job had better blood pressure control in IoT follow-up. Conclusions:IoT follow-up is helpful to improve CAPD patients' blood pressure compliance rate. Elevated serum creatinine level at baseline is the independent risk factor associated with poor blood pressure compliance. However, IoT follow-up, more follow-up times and the elevated rate of weight compliance are the protective factors for blood pressure compliance. IoT follow-up mode is more recommended for patients with short dialysis age and for dialysis centers where most of the nurses are part-time.
