Objective To understand the relationship between the requirement and the consumption of the health management, and provide the theoretical basis for the developing of China health management. Methods It took the survey to understand the relationship among 152 medical staffs from the six counties surrounding with Shi Jiazhuang downtown. Results 85.5%of medical staffs always and almost accept health advisory and provide health guidance. There are not the direct relationship between the requirement and the consumption(x2 = 9.39,P>0.05 ). Health advice and guidance are not translated into the concepts of investment on the health management and disease prevention (x2 = 1.69, P>0.05 ). The medical staffs don't realize it is important to invest on the health. Conclusions Related industries should strengthen the training on the health management, publicize this profession, promote the development of health management services and improve the national health quality.[ Key words] Health promotion ; Needs assessment; Economics

Objective To screen stage\|specific expression genes of plerocercoid of Spirometra erinacei\|europaei. Methods RNA was extracted by the acid guanidinium thiocyanate\|phenol\|chloroform from plerocercoid and adult worm of Spirometra erinacei\|europaei. Contaminated DNA in the RNA was digested by RNase\|free DNase. cDNA was synthesized by using T\-\{12\}MA, T\-\{12\}MC, T\-\{12\}MG and T\-\{12\}MT primers, and PCR was then done using the same T\-\{12\}MN and one random primers. The PCR products were fractionated on 8% denatured polyacrylamide gel, differential bands of plerocercoid found in the gel were cut out, amplified by PCR and sequenced after the gel was dried out and autoradiographed. Northern hybridization was conducted to identify the stage\|specific expression genes. Results Eleven differential bands were selected from the gel and classified into 3 kinds of gene fragments by hybridization after they were amplified by PCR. The fragments 1 and 2 were confirmed to express specifically in plerocercoid by Northern hybridization, but the fragment 3 was expressed in both plerocercoid and adult worm. When the 3 gene fragments were homologically analyzed in GenBank, the sequence which was homologous with the fragments 1 and 2 was not found, but the fragment 3 had high homology with many kinds of 28S rRNA. Conclusion The gene expression of plerocercoid was different from that of adult worm probably because they live in different hosts. Two kinds of different gene fragments in plerocercoid were identified by mRNA differential display technique.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of shenmai injection (SI) on expression of TNF-alpha mRNA in peritoneal macrophages (pMPhis) of scald mice.
METHODSBALB/c mice were inflicted with 11% of body surface area III degree scald and injected intraperitoneally (ip) with SI daily for 5 days, and expression of TNF-alpha mRNA in pMPhis was determined by semi-quantitative RT-PCR.
RESULTSIn scald mice, the expression of TNF-alpha mRNA in pMPhis increased significantly, but it was reduced obviously (P < 0.01) after SI administration, while the livability was increased markedly (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSFor scald mice, the cause of death at early stage might be related to the high expression of TNF-alpha mRNA in pMPhis and the use of SI can decrease the death rate.

Objective To understand the association between two single-nucleotide polymorphism (HLA-DQ rs28567185 and rs9275572) and different outcomes of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.Methods A total of 825 HBV infection related cases were enrolled,and peripheral blood samples were collected from them for DNA extraction.The single-nucleotide polymorphism in HLA-DQ region were genotyped by using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry.Logistic regression analysis was conducted to evaluate the association between HLA-DQ gene polymorphism and different outcomes of hepatitis B virus infection.Results Our study indicated that cases with HLA-DQ rs2856718G (524 cases) and rs9275572A (369 cases) had reduced susceptibility to HBV infection (OR=0.702,95%CI:0.558-0.856,P=0.001;OR=0.548,95%C1:0.365-0.847,P=0.005) and higher HBV natural clearance (OR=0.589,95% CI:0.478-0.892,P=8.81 × 10-3;OR=0.673,95%CI:0.457-0.860,P=0.014).Moreover,rs9275572A was also associated with the lower risk of the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (OR=0.759,95%CI:0.538-0.914,P=0.041).Conclusion Our study suggested that HLA-DQ loci might be associated with the different outcomes of HBV infection in Chinese in Han ethnic group in northern China,rs2856718G and rs9275572A might be protective factors for HBV infection,HBV natural clearance and HBV-related disease progress.

Objective The aim of this study was to analyze the disease burden of cirrhosis and other chronic liver diseases caused by hepatitis B in China,from 1990 to 2016,and to provide evidence for the development of related strategies.Methods Data were collected from the results of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016 (GBD2016).We analyzed the current epidemiological patterns by calculating the prevalence,mortality,and disability adjusted life year (DALY) of cirrhosis and other chronic liver diseases,caused by hepatitis B during 1990 and 2016 in China.Results Compared with data from 1990,the number of patients and deaths with cirrhosis and other chronic liver diseases caused by hepatitis B in 2016 increased by 79.6% and 2.4%,respectively.The prevalence increased by 49.2%,higher (50.3%) in males than that (42.3%) in females.Compared with other age groups,the increase (33.2%) of prevalence appeared the fastest,in the 15-49 age group.In males,the number of deaths and DALYs increased by 13.6% and 2.2%,respectively.In 2016,the five top provinces on age-standardized DALY rates,appeared as Qinghai (314.6 per 100 000),Guizhou (303.1 per 100 000),Yunnan (262.4 per 100 000),Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (239.6 per 100 000) and Taiwan (227.2 per 100 000).Conclusions From 1990 to 2016,the prevalence rates of hepatitis B related cirrhosis and other chronic liver diseases showed an upward trend,particularly in males and in people aged 15 to 49 years old,in China.However,the disease burden of different provinces was unevenly distributed.Based on our findings,we suggested that strategies that related to prevention and management of hepatitis B caused cirrhosis and other chronic liver diseases should be paid more attention to.
