ve To explore the health impacts of air pollution on children. Methods Based on monitoring data on outdoor air pollutants of SO2, NOx, TSP and CO, The local non-specific immune function [the activity of saliva lysozyme, the content of secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA)]and the pulmonary ventilation function [vital ca-pacity (VC), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), 25%, 50% and 75% forced expiratory volume in one second (V25, V50, V75) and maximum ventilatory volume (MVV)] were determined, and the questionaire was carried out among 656 school-age children aged 7~15 yrs in industrial area (polluted area)and 712 school-age children aged 7~15 yrs in relative clean area (control area). Results Significantly higher levels of SO2, NOx , TSP in outdoor air were found in polluted area compared with those in control area ( P

Objective To investigate the organic pollutants in the contaminated water irrigation area soil and to study the lipid peroxidation effect of the pollutants on mouse. Methods The organic pollutants of the polluted irrigation soil and control soil were extracted using the supersonic oscillator. The ingredients of the organic pollutants were measured by the GC-MS spectrum. The 40 sanitary Kunming mice were randomly divided into five groups: the dimethylsulfoxide control group,low dose group of control soil,high dose group of control soil,low dose group of polluted soil,high dose group of polluted soil. The administered doses of the low and high dose groups were 25.5 g dry soil/kg body weight per day by oral for two weeks. The activities of T-SOD,GSH-Px and the content of MDA in serum of mice were determined. Results Phenanthrene,yrene,diphenyl,fluorene,naphthalene,dimethyl-naphthalene,2,3,6-trimethyl-naphthalene,anthracene,dimethyl-anthracene,1,4-dimethyl-anthracene,fluoranthene,4-methyl-pyrene,dibenzothiophen,4-methyl-dibenzofuran,dibenzofuran,butylated-hydroxytoluene,dodecane,neopentyl-cyclohexane,trimethyl-heptane,1,2-dimethyl-cyclohexanimine,butethal were detected in the polluted irrigation soil and their levels were 14.3,2.1,1.3,1.1,0.8,1.3,0.4,2.9,7.2,2.3,9.1,0.2,0.4,1.4,1.7,0.37,0.9,0.11,0.02,0.02 and 0.13 mg/kg respectively in the polluted irrigation soil. Trimethyl-heptane,dimethyl-heptane and 1,2-dimethyl-cyclohexanimine were detected,and their levels were all 0.01 mg/kg in control soil. Compared with the solvent of dimethylsulfoxide group,the activities of T-SOD and GSH-Px of the high dose group of control soil and two dose groups of polluted soil all decreased,the differences were all significant(P0.05). Conclusion The soil has been contaminated with organic pollutants in the investigated area and the soil extract may produce a certain effect on lipid peroxidation in mice.

ObjectiveTo assess the quality of applications for the state funds for natural sciences and the research capabilities of researchers in medicine and other relevant fields in China so as to provide the State Fund Committee for Natural Sciences with scientific basis for systematically planning research funds for the medical field and improving the system of supervising funds for life sciences. MethodsAnalysis was conducted on project applications that were submitted to the Life Sciences Department from 1984 through 2001 and underwent quantitative peer review to explore trends of changes in project applications, the scores and the rate of fund-winning projects. ResultsBoth the quantity and quality of project applications in medicine and other relevant fields showed the trend of going up year by year whereas the rate of fund-winning projects presented an opposite trend. ConclusionThe State Fund Committee for Natural Sciences ought to broaden the scope of subsidization for medicine and other relevant fields and readjust existing funds for life sciences so as to shunt and alleviate the application pressure in medicine and other relevant fields.

ObjectiveTo study the method decreasing muscle tensility of upper limb and improving the function of disabled limb and hand on the spastic period in children with hemiplegia.Methods32 children with hemiplegia were randomly divided into Wuida (16cases ) and Bobath group (16cases ). The evaluation was done 1 weeks before treatment, then Wuida and Bobath therapy was used to decrease muscle tensility and abnormal gesture. After spasticity untroubled, both groups had undergone suitable occupational therapy for three months.ResultsThe decrease of the spasticity and the function of disabled limb and hand in Wuida group were better than those in Bobath group.ConclusionsWuida therapy can decrease muscle tensility of upper limb on the spastic period in children with hemiplegia.

OBJECTIVE:To determine the contents of Pb,Cd,Hg,As and Cu in Panax notoginseng,Angelica sinensis,Ligus-ticum chuanxiong,Fallopia multiflora and Rheum palmatum commercially available in Tangshan. METHODS:Microwave diges-tion-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry(ICP-MS)and single factor index and Nemerow comprehensive index were used to evaluate the heavy metal pollution in TCM powder samples;and the heavy metal limiting values in Green Trade Standards of Im-porting & Exporting Medical Plants & Prescriptions were used to evaluate the pollution of heavy metal samples. RESULTS:In the samples in 12 batches of 5 TCM powders,there were 2 heavy metal exceeded samples (P. notoginseng-3 and L. chuanxiong-2), the exceeded rate was 16.7%,exceeded indexes were Cd and Hg with the exceeded rates of 16.7% and 8.3%,respectively;heavy metals with Single factor index greater than 1 were Hg and Cd in P. notoginseng-3,and Cd in L. chuanxiong-2 with the composite indexes of 1.06 and 0.81,and pollution levels were slightly polluted and reaching warning level,respectively. CONCLUSIONS:Certain heavy metal pollution is found in TCM powder commercially available in Tangshan. Therefore,it is necessary to carry out more strictly control over the heavy metal content in Chinese herbal medicines.

Objective To analyze the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and metabolic syndrome (MS) in petrol field workers.Methods A total of 100 cases of OSAS patients of petrol field workers were enrolled as the study objects from March 2013 to August 2015 in emergency and respiratory department in Daqing Longnan Hospital and were divided into three groups:simple snoring group (Group A,n =26),mild OSAS group (Group B,n =42),and severe OSAS group (Group C,n =32).The comparison of dietetic status score,sleep status score and the patients with MS among 3 groups were carried out.The relationship between OSAS and MS was analyzed by using univariate and multivariable Logistic regression analyses were used.Results In Group C,sleep status score (8.3 ± 1.2) and dietetic status score (7.6 ± 1.4) and the rates of MS (23/32) were higher than those in the other two groups (P < 0.05).Univariate and multivariable Logistic regression analyses,showed OSAS was the risk factorofMS [r=11.211 (OR =9.412,95% CI:5.992~15.202)].Conclusions Dietetic status and sleep status were obviously influenced by OSAS in petrol field workers.The incidence of MS were more common in petrol field workersevere with OSAS and OSAS was a risk factor of MS.

Objective To observe the effect of Tangbi Capsules(TC)on ultrastructure of sciatic nerve in diabetic rats.Methods SD diabetic rat models were induced by one-dose intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin(50 mg/kg).Then the diabetic rats were randomized into 5 groups: model group,high-and low-dose TC groups(in the dose of 1 and 0.5 g?kg-1?d-1 respectively),mecobalamin(250 ?g?kg-1?d-1)group,and the combination group(receiving TC 0.5 g?kg-1?d-1 and mecobalamin 250 ?g?kg-1?d-1).Meanwhile,the normal control group was also set up.After treatment for 4 weeks,the changes of utrastructure of sciatic nerve in different groups were observed under electron microscope.Results The pathological changes of sciatic nerve in diabetic rats were similar with the clinical peripheral neuropathy.The protective effect on sciatic nerve in high-dose TC group was superior to that in low-dose TC group and mecobalamin group,and the combination group had the best protective effect.Conclusion TC exerts certain protective effect on diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
