The recent data on drinking water contamination suggest that pollutions caused by various treatments and consumption behaviors have been a universal public health problem. Contaminants come from materials for supply disinfections purifications secondary water supply system containers for preparation and storage. Overall management and control should be taken to prevent drinking water pollutions including replacement of hazard materials for water supply application of qualified disinfectors and purificants consumption of safety health container. The government should constitute and revise the related laws and regulations to supervise the whole process of water supply and treatment productions and distributions of disinfectors,purificants and drinking water containers.

Purpose:To study the therapeutic effects of beta-ultrasound guided percutaneous alternating cryogenic- heating therapy(ACHT) through liver puncture combined with other regional therapy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods:68 patients with advanced hepatocelluar carcinomas were divided into 4 groups.Group A,17 patients are treated with ACHT plus transcatheter hepatic arterial chemoembolization(TACE).Group B,16 patients were treated with ACHT plus intravenous chemotherapy;GroupC,19 patients were treated with TACE only;GroupD,16 patients were treated with in- travenous chemotherapy only.Results:In ACHT+TACE group,the rate of complete response(CR) plus partial response (PR) was 88.2%,the 0.5-,1-year survival rates were 94.1%,94.1%,the rate of AFP decreased was 84.6%.In ACHT+ ICT group,the rate of complete response(CR) plus partial response(PR) was 87.5%,the 0.5-,1-year survival rates were 87.5%,68.8%,the rate of AFP decreased was 78.6%.In the TACE group,the rate of complete response(CR) plus par- tial response(PR) was 57.6%,the 0.5-,1-year survival rates were78.9%,42.1%,the rate of AFP decreased was 69.2%. In ICT group,the rate of complete response(CR) plus partial response(PR) was 25.0%,the 0.5-,1-year survival rates were 50.0%,18.8%,the rate of AFP decreased was 41.7%.For CR+PR,ACHT+TACE group and ACHT+ICT group were significantly higher than TACE group and ICT group,but significant changes between ACHT+TACE group and ACHT +ICT group were not found.For survival rates,ACHT+TACE group was significantly higher than the other 3 groups, ACHT+ICT group was significantly higher than ICT group.There were no serious side effects after chemotherapy except that 5 patients' leucocytes decreased to degree Ⅲ.The postoperative complications after ACHT included bleeding,hemoglo- binuria and reactive thoracic,which disappeared after short term treated.Conclusions:Alternating cryogenic-heating therapy (ACHT) through liver puncture combined with other regional therapy is effective in treating advanced hepatocellular carci- noma and its side effects and postoperative complications are mild.

OBJECTIVE To understand the status quo for hospital infection hospital infection to provide a scientific basis. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was taken combined with the hospital bedside investigation and records investigation. RESULTS In 1033 cases,the prevalence rate was 3.87%,and the infected sites were the respiratory site,superficial incision,skin and soft tissue. Utilization rate of anti-bacterial drugs was 60.31%,the pathagen detection rate before treatment was low only 7.73%. CONCLUSIONS Prevalence rate survey method is simple and reliable,it may be the basic reflect of hospital infection. Further strengthening the management of invasive operations,regulateing the rational use of antibiotics status quo,improving the detection rate of pathogens and reduceing preventive medication and antibiotic usage are all evitable.

More than 50％ microRNAs (miRNAs) are located in tumor-associated genome of amplification region or fragile site,which may also act as oncogenes or tumor suppressor gene (TSG).Recently,researches show that the expression of miR-449 is lower in human gastric,lung and ovarian cancer,and may act as TSG.The abnormal expression of miR-449 plays a pivotal role in carcinogenesis and progression,and elucidating its function and regulatory,mechanism can provide valuable diagnostic,prognostic biomarker for cancer management.

Objective To investigate the pathophysiological changes in irradiation-induced heart injury in rats in order to provide preventive and therapeutic strategies for irradiation-induced heart disease(RIHD).Methods Experiments were performed using female Wistar rats with body weight of approximately 220g.12 female Wistar rats were randomly assigned to two groups(sham-irradiated group and irradiated group).Heart of rats was locally irradiated with 60Co ?-ray at a dosage of 20 Gy.During the post-radiation period,the intake of food and activities of the animals were observed daily and the body weight was recorded monthly.On the 120th day after irradiation,myocardial perfusion was tested using real time myocardial contrast echocardiography(RTMCE).On the 180th day after irradiation,the hearts were isolated from the rats of the both groups,and they were perfused with a Langendorff apparatus.Hemodynamic measurements,including peak systolic LV pressure(LVSP),maximal rate of LV pressure rise(LV dp/dtmax)and fall(LV dp/dtmin)were studied.Then the hearts were examined pathologically with HE staining.Results Animals irradiated with single dose of 20Gy locally were apparently in a good condition during the observation period of 180 days.No differences in food intake,physical activities and body weight were observed between irradiated and control animals.However,myocardial blood velocity(beta)of irradiated rats was significantly lower than that of sham irradiated group(P

Objective To investigate the relationship between cysteinyl leukotriene and clinical response to antileukotriene treatment,and to help select a clinical pharmacologic scheme.Methods Seventy-eight cases with acute mild-moderate asthma were treated with montelukast in a four-week trial.Asthmatic symptom score,usage of ?_2 receptor agonist,percentage of eosinophil,serumal IgE concentration,spirometry and urinary leukotriene E_4(uLTE_4)were measured pre- and post-treatment.Logistic analysis was used to access the various clinical parameters correlated with the response to montelukast.Results There were 48 responders and 30 nonresponders.The uLTE_4 level from the responders was higher than that of nonresponders(P0.05).Subjects with a uLTE_4 level of ≥1 200 pg/mL were11.5 times more likely to respond to montelukast than those with

Objective Effects of aqueous extract from Lishi No.5 formula on concentration of intracellular free-calcium fluorescent intensity in neurons. Methods Hippocampus neurons of 1-day newborn SD rats were cultured with conventional culture technique. The cells cultured for 9-12 days were used for experiment. Intracellular free calcium fluorescent intensity of neurons cultured under different conditions was assayed with confocal microscopic calcium image technique after loading of Fluo-3/AM. Results Free-calcium concentration was enhanced by aqueous extract from Lishi No.5 formula, this concentration was up to 126.35?9.35nmol/L, but the concentration is at normal scope; L-type calcium channel blocker Nifedipine may block the effect of aqueous extract from Lishi No.5 formula enhancing intracellular free-calcium concentration in part, it make intracellular free-calcium concentration down to 90.75?10.15nmol/L, but Nifedipine itself also decreased markedly free-calcium concentration to 40.65?5.65nmol/L. NMDA increase Markedly calcium fluorescent intensity, the effects of NMDA was decreased notably after pre-treating with aqueous extract from Lishi No.5 formula. The effect of MK-801, an antagonist of NMDA receptor, on inhibition of NMDA increasing free calcium fluorescent intensity was significantly reduced after pretreatment of aqueous extract from Lishi No.5 formula. Conclusion Aqueous extract from Lishi No.5 formula maybe bidirectional adjust intracellular free calcium concentration via enhancing L-type calcium channel activity and blocking NMDA receptor in part.
