7.Surveillance of intestinal helminthiasis in Dafeng City from 2005 to 2010
Chinese Journal of Schistosomiasis Control 2014;(6):701-702
Objective To understand the current status of intestinal helminth infections in Dafeng City. Methods The resi?dents in 5 villages of Dafeng City were investigated and their stool samples were detected for the eggs of helminth with Kato?Katz technique and Enterobius vermicularis was detected by the cellophane anal swab method. Results The total infection rates of intestinal helminth were 5.77% 5.51% 4.60% 4.18% 3.41% and 1.38% from 2005 to 2010 respectively. The trend of total infection rates declined year by year. The infection rates in the 20?30 age?group and 60?80 age?group were higher than those in other age?groups. The infection rates of the male and female were 5.63 359/6 375 and 2.42 144/5 949 re?spectively and there was a significant difference χ2=74.81 P=0.00 . The infection rate 11.70% in the northern areas of Dafeng City was higher than that in other places and the trend of the infection rates decreased from the eastern and northern to the western and southern. The infection rate of E. vermicularis was 1.75%in children in 2010. Conclusions The infection rate of intestinal helminth is low but E. vermicularis infection is relatively general in the children in Dafeng City. Therefore the pre?vention and treatment still need to be strengthened.
8.Management analysis and experience sharing of modern medical ethics
Chinese Journal of Medical Science Research Management 2012;25(4):281-283
To explore and discuss the challenge and solutions of medical ethics management in case of rapid development of medical research.Analyzed changes of the model,contents,and methods in modern medical research.Identified the significance of ethics review in medical research.Introduced some practices at Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) in recent years.Ethical review is one of the key elements for quality of medical research. Management should be improved and strengthen for the protections of research subjects effectively in the case of rapid development of life science.
9.Update of novel agents in treating relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2014;23(6):375-377
The treatment of relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma has always been a problem among hematologic malignant tumor treatment.Compared with the initial therapy,there are worse therapeutic effects and more affecting factors of selecting treatment since the existence of drug resistance in relapsed myeloma.In this review,the therapeutic effects of single and combinational use of several novel agents such as thalidomide,lenalidomide and bortezomib were evaluated in treating relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma.The clinical results of some new anti-myeloma agents were also reported.
10.Impact of diabetes mellitus on pneumonia mortality in a senior population:results from the NHANES III follow-up study
Journal of Geriatric Cardiology 2013;(3):267-280
Objective To examine whether diabetes mellitus increases the risk of pneumonia mortality among seniors in the U.S. general popula-tion. Methods&Results The NHANES III follow-up study data were used. After excluding individuals from other minorities, being hos-pitalized with pneumonia in the previous year at baseline, or death of pneumonia during the first year of follow-up, a total of 3,707 subjects aged 65 years or older (1,794 men and 1,913 women) who had no missing information on variables for the analysis were included. Approxi-mately 16% of seniors at baseline were diabetics, which was defined as either having been diagnosed by a physician, currently taking pills/insulin lowering blood glucose, or HbA1c higher than 6.4%. During an average 11 years of follow-up, a total of 98 deaths due to pneu-monia were recorded (ICD-10:J12-J18). Cox-regression models were used to estimate the risk association between pneumonia mortality and diabetes mellitus. After adjustment for the covariates at baseline, the hazard ratios of pneumonia death were 1.30 (95%CI:0.64-2.70) for pre-diabetics and 2.28 (95%CI:1.18-4.39) for diabetics, respectively. Among those covariates, only age (HR (95%CI);1.16 (1.13-1.20)), gender as female (0.35 (0.22-0.61)) and physical fitness measured as having no problem walking 1+mile during the previous month (0.38 (0.20-0.67)) reached statistical significance. Conclusions The results suggest that diabetes mellitus is a strong risk predictor of pneumonia mortality and the evaluation of physical fitness may also be useful in the risk prediction of pneumonia mortality for seniors.
