Digitalization of ancient medical documents has become an important platform for the development and protection of medical literature and digitalization of ancient medical documents based on ancient medical documents themselves will lead to a series of intellectual property rights. After the relationship between ancient medical docu-ments and protection of intellectual property rights was analyzed, the major intellectual property rights involved in current digitalization of ancient medical documents were pointed out with their solutions elaborated from the reasona-bleness, rationality, legality and normality.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of hypertension among primary and middle school students living in Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, so as to provide insights into comprehensive hypertension control among children and adolescents. Methods: Primary and middle school students at ages of 7 to 17 years were recruited for a questionnaire survey in Suzhou City using the stratified cluster random sampling method from September to December, 2020, and the height and body weight were measured. Blood pressure was measured at three separate clinic visits according to the national criteria Reference of Screening for Elevated Blood Pressure among Children and Adolescents Aged 7-18 Years ( WS/T 610-2018 ), and the detection of elevated blood pressure was estimated at three separate visits. In addition, factors affecting elevated blood pressure were identified. Results: A total of 3 713 students were enrolled, including 1 924 boys ( 51.82% ) and 1 789 girls ( 48.18% ). The detection of elevated blood pressure was 13.63%, 5.36%, and 3.37% at three separate visits, respectively, and the prevalence of hypertension ( elevated blood pressure at all three visits ) was 3.37%. The detection rates of elevated blood pressure were all higher at three visits ( 16.90%, 8.40%, and 5.26% ) among students at ages of 12 to 17 years than among students at ages of 7 to 11 years ( 9.65%, 1.67%, and 1.07%, P<0.05 ). The detection of elevated blood pressure was significantly higher in boys ( 15.23% ) than in girls (11.91%) at the first visit ( P<0.05 ), while no significant differences were seen at the second or third visit ( P>0.05 ). In addition, higher detection rates of elevated blood pressure were seen in obese ( 27.62%, 11.51%, and 7.06% ) and overweight students ( 17.45%, 6.95%, and 4.85% ) than in students with normal weight ( 9.44%, 3.54%, and 2.15% ) at all three visits, and greater detection rates of elevated blood pressure were found in obese students than in overweight students at the first and second visits ( P<0.017 ). Conclusions The prevalence of hypertension was 3.37% based on three separate visits among primary and middle school students in Suzhou City. Measurement of blood pressure at three separate visits within different days is effective to reduce the false positive rate of hypertension and decrease misdiagnosis among children and adolescents.

Objective To investigate the effects of fast-track surgery on postoperative rehabilitation of patients with liver cancer. Methods Forty-one patients with liver cancer who had been admitted to Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University from 9 to 30 in July 2008 were randomly divided into fast-track surgery group (n =20) and routine treatment group (n =21) according to the random number table. Patients in fast-track surgery group were preoperatively educated in order to lessen their anxiety. Bowel preparation was not applied before operation, and they were orally administered with 1000 ml of enteral nutrition emulsion (1300 kcal), then they were fasted for 4 hours before operation. Urethral catheter and gastric tube were removed after operation. They were orally administered with 1000 ml of enteral nutrition emulsion on postoperative day 2, and were encouraged to partake in off-bed activity shortly after the operation. The off-bed time, anus exhaust time, postoperative complica-tions, hospitalization time, expense, nutritional and metabolic indexes on postoperative day 1, 3 and 5, hepatic and renal function, immune and stress indexes between the 2 groups were compared by t test and chi-square test. Results There were significant differences in off-bed time, anus exhaust time, patients' weight, expense, total bilirubin level on postoperative day 1, 3 and 5, and level of serum TNF-α on postoperative day 3 between the 2 groups (t =7.065, 5.483, 3.754, 2.291,2.289, 3.218, 3.192, 2.434, 2.089, P <0.05). Conclusions Fast-track surgery can accelerate the postoperative rehabilitation of patients with liver cancer.

Objective : To explore the association of dietary niacin intake and metabolic syndrome ( MS ) and its components among adults in Zhejiang Province, so as to provide the reference for dietary intervention of MS. Methods: Using the multi-stage cluster random sampling method, the permanent residents aged 18 years and above were selected and investigated by a questionnaire developed by China Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Their waist circumference, blood pressure, glucose and lipid were measured. The daily dietary niacin intake of each person were calculated by "24-hour dietary review for 3 consecutive days", and divided into Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 groups according to quartiles. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the association of niacin intake with the risks of MS and its components. Results: Among 2 438 participants, 871 cases with MS were detected, with a detection rate of 35.73%. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with niacin intake Q1 group, Q2 ( OR=0.741, 95%CI: 0.561-0.978 ) and Q4 group ( OR=0.679, 95%CI: 0.487-0.947 ) had a lower risk of MS, Q2 ( OR=0.688, 95%CI: 0.516-0.919 ) and Q4 group ( OR=0.678, 95%CI: 0.479-0.960 ) had a lower risk of abdominal obesity, Q4 group ( OR=0.721, 95%CI: 0.536-0.969 ) had a lower risk of hyperglycemia. Further stratificating by gender, compared with niacin intake Q1 group, Q2 ( OR=0.664, 95%CI: 0.453-0.972 ) and Q3 group ( OR=0.646, 95%CI: 0.432-0.965 ) in women had a lower risk of MS, Q2 (OR=0.667, 95%CI: 0.460-0.967) and Q3 group ( OR=0.607, 95%CI: 0.408-0.902 ) had a lower risk of abdominal obesity; Q2 group ( OR=1.836, 95%CI: 1.202-2.805 ) in men had a higher risk of low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Conclusion Niacin intake is associated with an increased risk of MS, abdominal obesity and hyperglycemia.

OBJECTIVEThis paper analyzed the epidemiological characteristics of rubella in Shanghai from 1990 to 2006.

METHODSDescriptive epidemiological study was applied to analyze the cases from infectious diseases reported system on rubella during 1990-2006 in Shanghai. Excel was used for data analysis.

RESULTSThe reported rubella incidence rate in Shanghai was 0.15-451.57 per 100,000 during the period from 1990 to 2006. A rubella epidemic happened in 1993, with the number of reported cases as 58,104. The year 1998 was the low year on rubella with only 19 reported cases. In the years without rubella vaccine (RV), that was, from 1990 to 1994, the annual reported incidence rate of rubella was 93 per 100,000, and there was a distinct characteristic of seasonal difference, with peak in march through June each year. Rubella cases mostly affected children aged 5-9 and adolescent of 10-14 years old. Since the wide use of RV in Shanghai since 1995, RV and measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) had been widely accepted by parents. The vaccination rate of MMR reached up to 85 percent. The incidence of rubella was descending as year went by. The annual reported cases were less than 100 since then (with exception in the year 1995). Local outbreaks were further reduced and the age group structure had also changed since the adoption of RV. Patients with RV fallen into the age group of 0-4 were increasing quickly, accounting for 21.00% percent of all the patients and the age become older. 31.62% of the patients fell into 20 years of age and above. During 1995-2006, the incidence rates of rubella in age 25-29 and 30-34 were both much higher than that in the year without vaccine.

CONCLUSIONThe trend of older age among patients wilt Rubella increased the risk on fertile woman and geting congenital rebella syndrome.
