Objective To study factors influencing injury severity of expressway traffic acci- dents. Methods Data of expressway traffic accidents involving casualties in areas around Hangzhou during 2005-2006 were collected and analyzed by non-conditional simple and multiple logistic regression analysis. Results (1) During 2005-2006, there were 220 traffic crashes involving 327 eases, of which there were 64 deaths (19.6%), 121 severe injuries (37.0%, ISS≥16 points) and 142 slight and mod- erate injuries (43.4%, 1 point≤ ISS≤15 points). (2) Non-conditional simple logistic regression analy- sis showed that risk factors significantly influencing the injury outcomes of traffic accidents included gen- der, weekday, weather, type of collision, vehicle type, driver category, purpose of vehicle use, purpose of travel and crash responsibility. (3) Non-conditional multiple logistic regression analysis manifested that influential factors were gender, type of collision, driver category and crash respensibihty. Conclu- sion Analysis of expressway traffic accidents data helps identify factors influencing injury severity of ex- pressway traffic accidents may provide suggestions for prevention or decrease of expressway traffic acci- dents.

Objective Resveratrol can improve nonalcoholic fatty liver disease , but its action mechanisms remain unclear . This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of resveratrol against the free fatty acid ( FFA)-induced apoptosis of human hepatic L02 cells and its possible mechanisms . Methods Human hepatic L02 cells were incubated with FFA and resveratrol for 24 hours.The prepared cells were divided into a blank control , an FFA ( 2 mmol/L) , and a resveratrol group ( 50 μmol/L resveratrol +2 mmol L/FFA).After treatment, we measured the triglyceride (TG), glutathi-one (GSH), and malonaldchyde (MDA) contents and caspase3 ac-tivity in the hepatocytes , determined the apoptosis of the cells by flow cytometry , and detected the protein expression of silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) by Western blot as well as the mRNA expressions of catalase (CAT), Mn superoxide dismucase (MnSOD), Bcl-2, and Bax by qRT-PCR. Results The TG content and caspase 3 activity in the hepatocytes were significantly increased in the FFA ([3518.±64.2] μmol/L and [5.97 ±0.78] U/g) and the resveratrol group ([201.1 ±60.1] μmol/L and [3.60 ±0.73] U/g) as compared with those of the blank control ([40.2 ±7.4] μmol/L and [2.56 ±0.49] U/g) (both P<0.05), but the caspase3 ac-tivity was markedly decreased in the resveratrol group in comparison with that of the FFA group (P<0.05).Both early and late apop-tosis rates of the hepatocytes were remarkably higher in the FFA ([6.75 ±0.81]%and [8.52 ±0.54]%) and the resveratrol group ([4.94 ±0.44]%and [6.52 ±0.61]%) than those in the blank control ([3.38 ±0.33]% and [2.72 ±0.19]%) ( both P<0.05), with statistically significant differences between the former two groups (P<0.05).The resveratrol group showed significant differences in the GSH content ([100.2 ±8.8] nmol/g), the MDA level ([2.36 ±0.82] mg/g), and the relative expression of SIRT1 (0.84 ±0.04) from the FFA group ([73.8 ±13.1] nmol/g, [3.77 ±0.92] mg/g, and 0.61 ±0.07) and the control ([113.7 ±13.8] nmol/g, [1.85 ±0.41] mg/g, and 0.90 ±0.02) (all P<0.05).The resveratrol group also exhibited statistically significant differences in the relative expressions of the MnSOD , CAT, and Bax genes from the FFA and control groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Resveratrol attenuates FFA-induced apoptosis of human hepatic L 02 cells by activating SIRT1 and reducing the oxidative stress of hepatocytes .

Objective To investigate the trends of incidence for cervical cancer in the years of 1973-2000, in Qidong, a city in south China, with a population of 1. 16 M. Methods Crude incidence rate of cervical cancer was calculated by using incident case data from Qidong Cancer Registry, which was founded in 1972, and age-standardized rates were computed according to China age structure of 1964 (CASK), and world age structure of 1960 (WASR). The epidemiological features and secular change trends of the cancer were described. Results Six hundred and thirty-one new cases of cervical cancer were-reported in Qidong during the years of 1973 to 2000, ranking the eighth and accounting for 3. 25% among all sites of cancers in women. The crude annual incidence rate during the period was 3. 96 per 100 000 on average, China age-standardized rate ( CASK) was 2. 67 per 100 000, and world age-standardized rate (WASR) , 3. 66 per 100 000. The incidence of cervical cancer was 2. 97 per 100 000 for the last 14 years, and 5. 01 per 100 000 for the first 14 years, showing a decreasing trend ( P
