ObjectiveTo master the epidemic situation of drinking-water borne endemic fluorosis in Xinzhou,evaluate the effects of water improvement project to reduce fluoride,and to provide a timely scientific basis for monitoring the disease and for establishment of preventive countermeasures.MethodsAccording to the water fluoride concentration and type of the disease,after stratification 25 endemic villages were selected as survey points.Five water samples were collected in water unimproved monitoring villages according to water well locations of east,west,south,north and center.In monitoring villages with improved water,3 tap water and 1 source water samples were collected,respectively.The fluorine content in water samples was determined according to the “Standard Testing Methods for Drinking Water”(GB/T 5750-2006).All children aged 8 to 12 of the survey villages were examined for dental fluorosis by Dean method.Clinical osteofluorosis of all the resident over the age of 16 was examined,8 villages of these counties were selected,10 men and.women were randomly selected in each village,respectively,and they were examined again by X-ray using “Diagnostic Criteria of Endemic Skeletal Fluorosis” (WS/T 192-2007).Children aged 8 to 12 in 13 villages of chosen villages were selected for urine collection,6 unne samples were collected in each age group and a total of 30 samples were collected,and urinary fluoride was determined by F-ion selective electrode method(WS/T 89-2006).ResultsA total of 56 water samples were tested in water-unimproved villages,the average water fluorine was 2.7 mg/L And 52 water samples were tested in waterimproved villages,the average water fluorine was 1.6 mg/L,water fluoride content ＞ 1.5 mg/L accounted for 46.15％ (6/13) in the water-improved village.Incidences of dental fluorosis of children in the water-unimproved villages and water-improved villages were 74.75％ (622/832) and 23.67％ (241/1018),respectively.The difference was statistically significant(x2 =140,P ＜ 0.01).The prevalence rate of skeletal fluorosis was 30.02％(2803/9335) in water-unimproved villages,and 9.44％ (1230/13 022) in water-improved villages.The difference was statistically significant(x2 =1557.75,P ＜ 0.01 ).The mean of urine fluorine in a total sample was 3.31 mg/L,the urinary fluoride concentration of children in water-improved villages was significantly different from that of water-unimproved villages(t =2.27,P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionsBy reducing fluorine and improving drinking water,disease in drinkingwater borne endemic fluorosis areas in Xinzhou has been controlled to a certain degree.However,the disease is still very serious in some endemic areas.Fluoride in drinking water re-increases in some water-improved villages,the disease is also in a rise.So,the work of monitoring and prevention should be strengthened.

OBJECTIVE:To provide references for the evolvement of Chinese drug safety credit system construction.METHODS:The status quo of Chinese drug safety credit system was analyzed by applying the credit management theory,and some corresponding developmental countermeasures were put forward by drawing experiences from abroad.RESULTS &CONCLUSION:The fundamental strategy for the construction of standardized economic order in pharmaceutical market is to establish and perfect drug safety credit system.The drug safety credit system should be constructed comprehensively from the credit laws,credit information databank,credit ratings,credit supervision,credit agency,credit awards and punishments,etc.

A clinically reliable non-invasive test for endometriosis is expected to reduce the diagnostic delay. Although varieties of biomarkers have been investigated for decades, and cancer antigen-125, cancer antigen-199, interleukin-6, and urocortin were the most studied ones among hundreds of biomarkers, no clinically reliable biomarkers have been confirmed so far. Some emerging technologies including "omics" technologies, molecular imaging techniques, and microRNAs are promising in solving these challenges, but their utility to detect endometriosis has yet to be verified. New combinations of researched indicators or other non-invasive methods and further exploration of the emerging technologies may be new targets and future research hotspots for non-invasive diagnosis of endometriosis. In conclusion, researches of biomarkers for the detection of endometriosis are still ongoing and may benefit from novel molecular biology, bioinformatics methods and a combination of more diverse monitoring methods. Though it will be a daunting task, the identification of a specific set of diagnostic biomarkers will undoubtedly improve the status of endometriosis.

ObjectiveTo study the effect of thought imprint psychotherapy in lower resistant state (a TCM psychotherapy ) treating insomnia accompanied by depression.MethodsIntervened patients by sleep regulating technique of lower resistant state for 6 months.PSQI and PSG were tested prior and post treatment.ResultsThe data from PSQI and PSG indicated the improvement of their sleep quality:PSQI:sleep quality (2.500±0.589) vs (1.416±0.928),initiating sleep time(2.375±0.875) vs (1.416±0.880),sleep time (2.125±0.947) vs (1.500±0.884),sleep efficiency (1.625±1.135) vs (0.958±0.954),sleep disorder (1.875±0.536)vs (1.416±0.775),daytime function (2.416±0.880) vs (1.833± 1.203); PSG:sleep efficiency (0.82±0.11)％ vs (0.88±0.10)％,number of wake (3.92±3.24) vs (2.38±1.21),stage 1 percentage (27.4±11.9)％vs (23.5±7.8)％,stage 3 percentage (10.2±6.8) ％ vs (15.6±5.9)％,REM sleep percentage (23.89±6.84) ％ vs (16.16 ± 6.36) ％,P＜0.05 or 0.01.ConclusionSleep regulating technique in lower resistant state can improve patients' sleep quality.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness of the combined electrical stimulation and nursing interventions for female stress urinary incontinence.Methods The study is qusi-experimental design.48 patients with stress urinary incontinence were allocated to the intervention group and the control group with 24 patients in each group.The control group was given electrical stimulation,the intervention group was given 12-week electrical stimulation and comprehensive nursing interventions.The outcome indicators were 1-hour pad test urine loss,pelvic floor muscle (PFM) strength,the grade of subjective urinary incontinence,quality of life (I-QOL).Results Compared with the control group,no significant subjective urinary incontinence score was seen,but pelvic floor muscle (PFM ) strength and the score of the QOL evidently improved and 1-hour pad test urine loss decreased in the intervention group.Conclusions Combined electrical stimulation and nursing interventions for female stress urinary incontinence is effective treatment.

Objective To investigate the correlation between depression, anxiety and sleep disturbance. Methods 93 patients with the main complaint of insomnia were selected and performed a retrospective study. Results Four factors including anxiety factors, manifest anxiety, subjective depression and dominant depression of the insomnia patients were significantly higher than normal people, while the Ego Strength scores are significantly lower than the normal people. Conclusion When confronting patients with sleep disturbance, doctors must pay attention to identifying any psychological disorders including depression and anxiety in the patients, and psychological support should also be strengthened to such patients.

Traditional processes are mostly adopted in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparation production and the quality of products is mostly controlled by terminal. Potential problems of the production in the process are unpredictable and is relied on experience in most cases. Therefore, it is hard to find the key points affecting the preparation process and quality control. A pattern of research and development of traditional Chinese medicine preparation process based on the idea of Quality by Design (QbD) was proposed after introducing the latest research achievement. Basic theories of micromeritics and rheology were used to characterize the physical property of TCM raw material. TCM preparation process was designed in a more scientific and rational way by studying the correlation among enhancing physical property of raw material, preparation process and product quality of preparation. So factors affecting the quality of TCM production would be found out and problems that might occur in the pilot process could be predicted. It would be a foundation for the R&D and production of TCM preparation as well as support for the "process control" of TCMIs gradually realized in the future.
