Exposure to high concentration fluoride could do harm to many systems and organs. Recently,great progress has been mad e on the effect of fluoride exposure on immune function including cell immunity, mucosal immunity and cytokines. The aim of this review is to report it.

The relationship between PGE2 and sIL-2R and ca rcinoma of large intestine and the development of its immunological study is de scribed briefly.

Gastric cancer(GC) is deeply threatening the health of our people, the mortality rate of GC is the second death cause of carcinoma i n our country. Since the lack of special clinical symptom at the early state of GC, detecting GC at the molecular biological level is expected to diagnose early gastric cancer. This article discusses some markers such as PCNA, p53, telomera se, ras protein and so on to assess the possibility of diagnosing the early gas tric cancer with these molecular biological markers. According to analyzing rela ted papers published, PCNA and p53 were found to be the molecular biological mar kers which should be firstly taken into account in diagnosing gastric cancer. Bo th of them can be easily detected by using immunohistochemical method. Telomeras e is also a good marker, but because of its difficult technology and high cost, it is not so practicable as the former two as the diagnostic marker of early gas tric cancer. Besides, ras potein can also be taken into account as the early det ecting auxiliary marker for GC.

The great majority of human diseases are directly or i nd irectly associated with genes. Gene mapping and genetic analysis for human compl ex polygenic disorders has become a hot-spot and the neck of the bottle in the medical genetics research recently. The approach to genome-wide search has pla yed an important role in the respect.

Objective To evaluate diagnosis of cord entanglem ent and fetus safety by B ultra-sonic and nemodromometer. Methods 86 pregnant women were diagnosed as cord entanglement in late pregnancy by B ultrasonic examination and Doppler blood flow analysis of the S/D ratio from ma r to May, 1999. The pregnancy outcomes were followed up. Cord entanglement,es -pecially the high blood circulating resistance, suggested that there was h igh risk of fetal distress. The obstetrician would manage the delivery stage pro perly according to the results of Doppler examination.Results 7 2 women were proved cord entanglement after delivery wity coincident rate of 83. 7%. Five women were delivered by cesarean section and forceps among 11 cases of abno rmal S/D ratio, and the rate of operative delivery in group with abnormalS/D rat io was significantly higher than that of the group with normal S/D ratio (P ＜0.05). Conclusions The combined examination can improve the rate of diagnosis of cord entanglement and abnormal S/D ratio, forecast the feta l distress, reduce birth rate of infant with lower Apgar score and reduce the ces arean section rate due to social factor.

Objective To understand on factors affecting adult -educated undergraduates' psychological health situation. Methods One hundred and ninety adult-educated undergraduates of a university were selected in random to let them take tests of SCL-90 measuring table a nd EPQ questionaire. Results There were 44.44 percent of adult-educated undergraduates who had psychological obstacle. Important affecting variables were screened out. Conclusions After knowing these important affecting variables, we can tak e some actions to reduce the occurence of psychological obstacle among adult-ed ucated undergraduates.

Objective To study the major kinds of diseases lead ing to death and the fatality rate in our hospital and to discuss methods of dis ease prevention and treatment. Methods The data of the dead inpatie nt were classified and analysed according to the ICD-9 International Disease C lassification. Results The major diseases leading to death were malignant tumors , diseases of circulatory and respiratory system, and the fatality rate of males was higher than that of females. Death toll of over 70 age of persons accounted for 49.94%. Among them, the ratio of malignant t umors tended to come down and that of circulatory and respiratory system were r ising. Conclusions The task facing to us is to improve the consciou sness of environment protecting.

Objective The purpose of the study was to explore influence of family factors on dietary behavior of primary and secondary studen t s in Guangzhou city, in order to provide suggestions for intervention of dietary behavi or. Methods The study population included 1 539 student-parent s pairs selected from Guangzhou city by using the method of stratified multistage cluster random sampling, and data were collected through questionnaires. Results The ratio of parents who often reminded and forced the ir children to eat some fo od they thought of as nutrition were 56.0% and 7.7%, and 39.7%, 29.2% of ch ildren complied with their parents, respectively. At dinner, 14.8% and 27.5% of parents often and sometimes criticized their children, and the ratio of childre n couldn't eat anything and only eat a little food were 5.9%,19.3%, respectively . Forty-two point three of primary and secondary school students watched televi sion wh en they had a dinner, which made 39.4% of students not eat seriously. C onclusions Dietary behavior of primary and secondary school students is influenced strongly by their parents and family environment, it is necessary for parents and themselves to grasp enough nutritional knowledge.

Objective To find out the influencing behavioral factors of antibiotics usage in population in Lanzhou. Methods Status of antibiotics usage was investigated in four hospitals in Lanzhou. Results The self-medicine pro portion among patients with respiratory system infection, infectious di arrhea, urinary system infection and choleic system infection were 44.22%, 31. 76%, 22.07% and 6.61% respectively. Patients having higher income used some antibiotics at a middle price, while patients having lower income used antibiot ics at a lower price. The educate d person applied some antibiotics at a lower price, but the illiterate person us ed some antibiotics at a higher price. The combined usage of antibio tics was affected by the disease program and distance of seeing doctor. The fart her distance away from hospital, the more proportion of antibiotics(two or thre e) used combinedly. Conclusions The antibiotics usage was affe cted by the disease variety, disease program, distance to hospital, average inco me and educ ated level.

Objective To study the influence of PYLL on life span of residents. Methods The reduce of potential life span in Kunshan residents from 1982～1999 was analysed between the male and female. Results The life span reduced significantly in injury, poisoning and c ancer, which accounted for over 56% of total causes o f death in PYLL, especially, over 60 % in male. PYLL rate in male was higher than that in female. PYLL rate in male a nd female (except brain blood vessel disease) from 1991～1999 was lower than tha t from 1982～1990. It was consistent with increasing of old age population pr oport ion and prolonging of expected life span in Kunshan residents year by year. Conclusions The reasons that causes to death of residents were injury a nd poisoning and cancer.
