Objectives To analyze the influence factors for promoting appropriate health technologies to rural health workers in Zhejiang province. Methods 1957 health workers from county and township levels were surveyed by questionnaires, regarding their use of appropriate technologies. Results The influence factors for rural health workers to employ such technologies include their medical competency, training approach and technical categories. Those medical workers of higher education are

Objective To establish an HPLC method for determination the contents of berberine hydrochloride in spring rain burns gels. Methods Analytical column was Kromasil C18 (4.6 mm?250 mm, 5 ?m) column with a mobile phase of Acetonitrile-1%H3PO4-Triethylamine (24∶76∶0.76), the detective wavelength was 345 nm, the flow rate was 1.0 mL/min and column temperature was 30 ℃. Results A good linearity was obtained in the range of 0.088～0.440 ?g (r =0.999 7), and the average recovery was 98.13% with RSD=0.77% (n=6). Conclusion The method is rapid and reliable, and can be used for the quality control of spring rain burns gels.

Objective To investigate the status and influencing factors of breastfeeding among infants of 0 to 6 months in urban areas in Shanxi,to increase the rate of breastfeeding.Methods A total of urban infants aged 0 -6 months were selected and their mothers were investigated by the questionnaire on site.Results A total of 4 868 urban infants aged 0 -6 months and their mothers were investigated.The rate of breastfeeding was 64.60%,the rate of mixed feeding was 27.90%,the rate of artificial feeding was 7.40%.The infants′mother′s age,culture level, the way of delivery(natural labor,dystocia,cesarean delivery),the situation of the nipple(normal,flat,concave), nutritional status during pregnancy,mother's self awareness of the amount of breasts supply(enough,not enough)were associated with breastfeeding(χ2 =62.367,25.021,67.419,60.941,16.675,8.241,3.081,all P <0.05 or P <0.01).Conclusion The corresponding measures should be taken according to the factors affecting breastfeeding in order to improve the rate of breastfeeding.

Objective To investigate the expression of Glil and β-catenin,which are central molecules of Hedgehog and Wnt signaling pathway,in colon cancer tissues and cell lines,and evaluate their relationship.Methods RT-PCR and Western blot were used to determine the expression of Glil and β-catenin in colon cancer tissues and cells.Interaction between endogenous Glil and endogenous 3-catenin was examined using immunoprecipitation method.Results Compared to corresponding normal tissues,the expression of Gli1 and β-catenin raised raising with one accord,the average growth rates were 42.69,72.11 respectively (P ＜ 0.05).In colon cancer cell lines,the expression levels of Glil and β-catenin increased,which were 52.54,17.23,5.54 and 5.30,6.34,2.78 (all P ＜ 0.05).Both of them were enhanced in three Wnt aberrant active cells visibly.The immunoprecipitation result indicated that there was an interaction between Glil and β-catenin in colon cancer cells.Conclusion The expression of Glil and β-catenin rise congruously in both colon cancer cells and tissues,and there is an interaction between them.This interaction between two key components of Hedgehog and Wnt signaling may suggest the possible crosstalk manner in these pathways.

We carried out a dietary investigation of pupils aged 10 - 11 in Mei county in Shaanxi with level-based community random sample method. The result showedthat the average intake of daily food was mainly grain. That of energy was less than 70% of RDA and 60% of WHO. That of the protein was less than 70% of RDA in male and 60% of RDA in female. That of the other nutrients was less than 60% of RDA except iron, nicotinic acid and thiamine. Energy allocation among three mels was not adequate in male pupils. There waas higher energy in breakfast and supper, not sufficent at lunch.

This study was to investigate the protective effects and mechanisms of breviscapine on endothelial cells.ox-LDL was used to induce oxidative damage on human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVEC)for 20 h with or without 4 h pretreatment of various concentrations of breviscapine(10;20;40 μmol/L);then observe the protective effect and mechanism of breviscapine on endothelial cells insulted by ox-LDL.MTT method was used to detect cell viability;flow cytometry was used to detect cell apoptosis and reactive oxygen species;and Western blot and RT-PCR was used to detect cell signaling pathways.The results showed that breviscapine recovered HUVEC cell viability in a dose-dependent manner which inhibited by ox-LDL;and it also protected cell from apoptosis induced by ox-LDL.To explore the mechanisms of breviscapine;reactive oxygen species (ROS)was determined after pretreatment of various concentrations of breviscapine or different durations(2;4;6 h)of brevis-capine.Results showed that breviscapine decreased ROS production in a dose-and time-dependent manner.Fur-thermore;cell signaling pathway analysis showed that breviscapine increased the expression of BCL-2;decreased the expression of BAX and the release of Cytochrome C and cleavage of caspase-3.Breviscapine decreased Keap1 and activated the nuclear import of Nrf2;and subsequently increased the mRNA and protein expression of down-stream antioxidant enzyme as NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1(NQO1)and glutathione transferase-S-Mu 1(GSTM1);and increasing the activity of NQO1.Besides;breviscapine decreased IKK and IKB;and inhibited nuclear translocation of NF-κB;while increasing the expression of eNOS.This study demonstrated that breviscap-ine has a protective role on ox-LDL-induced endothelial cell injury;which may be related to its antioxidant effects and inhibition of NF-κB activation.

Shanghai district and county health system performance evaluation conceptual frameworkwas proposed based on health services system performance assessment frameworks raised by some countries and international organizations,and combined with Shanghai district and county health system characteristics.This framework contains two first grade indices and seven second grade indices:In the long term goals,'health','satisfaction' and 'disease risk protection' are the county's longterm effects of health system performance assessment dimensions; in the medium-term goals,the'accessibility','cost',' efficiency' and 'quality' are the county' s medium-term effects of health system performance assessment dimensions.This study aimed to evaluate Shanghai county health system's overall performance.Further study is needed in constructing its third grade indices.

The regulation of immune response is affected by several factors in order to maintain homeostasis.Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase(IDO) is a tryptophan-catabolizing enzyme expressed by different types of APC,including macrophages and dendritic cells.IDO activity leads to regulatory effects on T cells,which are mediated by tryptophan depletion in specific local tissue microenvironments,the production of proapoptotic metabolites,and inhibition of T-cell clone proliferation through regulatory T cells.IDO plays an important role in protecting the allogeneic fetus from rejection,the development of autoimmune diseases,allograft rejection,and cancer.So regulation of IDO activity may offer a novel drug-based strategy to treat immune-related diseases.

Objective To explore the influencing factors for usage of the official App of a hospital, based on Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT).Methods 616 outpatients were randomly sampled from outpatient clinics of three tertiary hospitals in Hangzhou for questionnaire survey, to learn the usage and intention for hospital′s official App.Results It was found that women (0.134), high performance expectancy (0.321), facilitating conditions (0.256), high effort expectancy (0.224), and desirable social influence (0.100) all contributed positive influence (P<0.05) to usage of such App.Conclusions It is recommended to enhance service functions of such App and simplify its usage, in addition to better promotion and online security measures.
