Objective To compare the clinical results of open reduction and plate internal fixation and percutaneous kirschner-wire fixation in the management of distal radius fractures. Methods A retrospective comparison was done on clinical data of 110 patients with distal radius fractures who were treated by plate internal fixation and that of 107 by pereutaneous kirschner-wire fixation from January 2002 to June 2007. Results All patients were followed up for 5-12 months. According to Gartland and Werley scoring system, the excellent rate was 86.4% in plate internal fixation group, which was significantly higher than 74.8% in percutaneous kirschner-wire fixation group (P <0.05). As for type C3 fractures, the excellent rate of the two groups were 76.9% and 70.0%, with no statistical difference (P >0.05). Conclusions Compared with percutaneous kirschner-wire fixation, plate internal fixation is better in treatment of distal radius fractures, but has poor results in management of type C3 fractures.

Objective:
To identify the most appropriate meteorological variable for forecasting the health risk of high temperatures.
Methods:
The surveillance on causes of death, meteorological data and surveillance on air quality among registered residents in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province during the period between May and October from 2013 to 2019 were collected. The association models of daily minimum temperature, average daily temperature, daily maximum temperature, daily minimum heat index, average daily heat index, daily maximum heat index, average daily apparent temperature and torridity index with deaths and years of life lost (YLL) were created using time series analysis and distributed lag non-linear models, and the model fitting effect was evaluated using the minimum Akaike information criterion (AIC) procedure. The most appropriate meteorological variable for forecasting gender-, age- and mortality-specific health risks of high temperatures was identified.
Results:
A total of 120 628 deaths were reported during the study period, with daily deaths of 94 cases, and daily YLL rate of 19.74 person-years/105. Except for daily minimum heat index and torridity index, the exposure-response relationships between other six meteorological variables and deaths and overall YLL rate all appeared a “J” shape. The lowest AIC values and the optimal model fitting effects were measured for the association models between average daily temperature and whole populations, females, subjects at ages of 65 years and older, and deaths and YLL rates due to circulatory diseases and respiratory diseases.
Conclusion
High model fitting effects are observed between average daily temperature and deaths and YLL rates, which are more suitable for forecasting the health risk of high temperature.

Objective:
To evaluate the health risk of drinking water in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province from 2021 to 2022, so as to provide insights into ensuring the safety of drinking water.
Methods:
The monitoring data of drinking water from 2021 to 2022 in Ningbo City were collected from the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. The routine indicators and disinfectant indicators (radioactivity indicators were excluded) of drinking water were evaluated according to the reference limits issued by Standards for Drinking Water Quality (GB 5749-2006), and the qualification rates were calculated. The indicators with detection rate higher than 50% were selected, and assessed the carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks via drinking water using the risk assessment model recommended by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
Results:
A total of 1 678 samples were monitored in Ningbo City from 2021 to 2022. Sodium hypochlorite was the main disinfectant among 1 558 samples from centralized water supply (1 079 samples, 64.30%), and none of the 120 samples from decentralized water supply underwent disinfection treatment. The qualification rate of 88.38%, and the pollutants with a detection rate higher than 50% were nitrate, fluoride, trichloromethane and aluminum. The median carcinogenic risk value of trichloromethane was 2.964×10-6 (interquartile range, 3.909×10-6), and the median hazard quotient values of nitrate, fluoride, trichloromethane and aluminum were 1.631×10-2 (interquartile range, 1.361×10-2), 3.955×10-2 (3.164×10-2), 2.231×10-2 (2.942×10-2) and 2.136×10-4 (6.573×10-4), respectively.
Conclusion
The carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks through drinking water for 17 pollutants in drinking water of Ningbo City from 2021 to 2022 were at low levels.

Objective To explore antibiotics resistance profiles and DNA fingerprints of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates resistant to imipenem (IRPA). Methods DNA fingerprints of 56 strains isolated from ICU (intensive care unit) were constructed by ERIC-PCR (enterobacter repetitive intergenic consensus-PCR). MICs (minimal inhibitory concentrations) were determined by agar dilution method.Results 33 genotypes were got from 56 strains by ERIC-PCR. Of 8 frequently used antibiotics, 5 of them showed resistance rate higher than 50%. Conclusion It is high time to pay attention to multi-drug resistance of IRPA. The exist of prevalence of IRPA clone in ICU advise us to control of IRPA in hospital effectively.

Objective :
To evaluate the excess mortality risk related to heat wave in Ningbo, Zhejiang from 2013 to 2018, so as to provide a basis for formulating coping strategies for heat wave.
Methods :
The data of daily mortality, meteorological and air quality from May to October in Ningbo from 2013 to 2018 were obtained from Ningbo Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Ningbo Meteorological Bureau and Environmental Monitoring Center of Ningbo, respectively. The generalized linear model ( GLM ) and distributed lag non-linear model ( DLNM ) were used to estimate the associations between heat wave and cause-specific mortality.
Results :
Among 1 104 days of the study period, 18 heat waves occured and lasted for 132 days, accounting for 11.96%. A total of 102 954 deaths were reported in the same period. The risks of mortality in circulatory system diseases ( RR=1.09, 95%CI: 1.03-1.16 ), respiratory system diseases ( RR=1.14, 95%CI: 1.04-1.25 ), digestive system diseases ( RR=1.38, 95%CI: 1.15-1.65 ), nervous system diseases ( RR=1.32, 95%CI: 1.08-1.61 ), mental disorders ( RR=1.51, 95%CI: 1.12-2.03 ) and accidental injury ( RR=1.18, 95%CI: 1.06-1.32 ) and all causes ( RR=1.10, 95%CI: 1.06-1.14 ) increased at lag 0-1 day of heat wave. The total excess death related to heat wave was 1 218 ( 95%CI: 731-1 705 ) . The excess deaths of circulatory system diseases, respiratory system diseases, accidental injury, digestive system diseases, nervous system diseases, mental disorders, urinary system diseases and endocrine system diseases were 313 ( 95%CI: 104-556 ), 206 ( 95%CI: 59-368 ), 164 ( 95%CI: 55-292 ), 122 ( 95%CI: 48-208 ), 69 ( 95%CI: 17-131 ), 56 ( 95%CI: 13-113 ), 18 ( 95%CI: -15-64 ) and 3 ( 95%CI: -51-72 ). The excess deaths of urinary system and endocrine system diseases was not statistically significant ( P>0.05 ).
Conclusion
Heat wave can increase the mortality risk on the day and after a day in Ningbo from 2013 to 2018. Circulatory system diseases, respiratory system diseases and accidental injury rank top three in excess deaths.
