Objective: To understand the epidemiological characteristics of viral hepatitis B in Shaoxing from 2008 to 2018,so as to provide basis for formulating the viral hepatitis B prevention and control strategy. Methods: The data of viral hepatitis B cases in Shaoxing from 2008 to 2018 were collected from infectious diseases reporting and management system. Descriptive epidemiological method was employed to analyze the time,place and population characteristics of viral hepatitis B cases in Shaoxing. Annual percentage change（APC）was calculated to analyze the development trend of viral hepatitis B. Results : From 2008 to 2018,a total of 22 764 cases of viral hepatitis B were reported in Shaoxing,with an average annual incidence rate of 42.24/100 000 and a standardized incidence rate of 39.19/100 000. The incidence rate of viral hepatitis B decreased from 2008 to 2018,among which the APC from 2012 to 2018 was -18.00% with a significantly downward trend（P<0.05）. Six counties,cities or districts in Shaoxing reported cases of viral hepatitis B,of which Zhuji（49.40/100 000）,Yuecheng（44.17/100 000）and Xinchang（43.28/100 000）ranked top three in average annual incidence rate. The incidence rate of viral hepatitis B in men was 57.07/100 000,which was higher than 27.33/100 000 in women（P<0.05）.The age of onset was mainly 25-59 years old,with 16 941 cases（74.42%）reported. The top three occupations were farmers,workers and migrant workers,with 15 013（65.95%）,2 730（11.99%）and 1 121（4.92%）cases reported,respectively. Conclusions The incidence of viral hepatitis B in Shaoxing from 2008 to 2018 showed a downward trend. Farmers,workers and migrant workers aged 25-59 years were at high risk of hepatitis B infection.

Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of coronavirus disease 2019 ( COVID-19 ) in Shaoxing from January 23 to March 31, 2020, so as to provide basis for the prevention and control of COVID-19. Methods: The information of the COVID-19 cases in Shaoxing were collected from the National Diseases Prevention and Control Information System and the field investigation by CDCs. A descriptive analysis was used for the epidemiological characteristics, including time, spatial and population distribution, clinical features and exposure history. Results: Totally 42 confirmed cases of COVID-19 were reported by March 31, without deaths. The first case was reported on January 23 and the last one was on February 13. The onset of cases peaked in mid-to-late January. All the counties ( cities or districts ) had confirmed cases, 14 cases were reported in Yuecheng District. Twenty-five ( 59.52% ) cases were 45 years old or over. Thirteen ( 30.95% ) cases were engaged in business and eight ( 19.05% ) cases were unemployed. No cases were found among medical staff. The main clinical symptoms were fever, dry cough, fatigue and imaging features of pneumonia, with nine ( 21.43% ) severe cases and three ( 7.14% ) critical cases. There were 34 ( 80.95% ) imported cases, who mainly came from Hubei Province. Totally 1 955 close contacts were tracked down, among whom 4 cases were confirmed, with the infection rate of 0.20%.

This study was aimed to investigate the mechanism of leukemia cell apoptosis induced by histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACI). Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis of leukemia cell lines NB4, U937 and Jurkat, and the changes of mRNA and protein expressions of TRAIL, DR4 and DR5 were detected by Western blot and RT-PCR respectively. The results showed that both TRAIL and DR5 protein and mRNA expressions in NB4, U937 and Jurkat cells increased after treated with sodium butyrate (SB) and in time-dependent manner. However, DR4 mRNA in leukemia cells was not significantly changed after treated with SB. It is concluded that the apoptosis mechanism of leukemic cell lines NB4, U937 and Jurkat induced by SB is closely related to the protein and mRNA expressions up-regulating TRAIL and DR5, but the DR4 may not participate in the apoptosis induced by SB.

Objective Evaluating the effects of Bushen-Gufeigao and breathing movements on the patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease of Lung and kidney deficiency TCM pattern. Methods The patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease of lung and kidney deficiency TCM pattern were recruited and randomly divided into two groups the treatment group (32 cases) and the control group (34 cases). The control group was treated with the conventional medicine, and the treatment group were added Bufei-Gushengao and breathing movements based on the treatment of control group. Both groups were treated for 1 month. The changes of the clinical symptoms, lung function and frequency of attack and duration of each attack in 10 months after treatment were observed. Results After the treatment, compared with the control group, the TCM patterns scores (5.32 ± 2.67 vs. 9.12 ± 4.11, t=4.424) of the treatment group significantly decreased, while the FVC (3.00 ± 0.49 L vs. 2.71 ± 0.47 L, t=2.408), FEV1 (2.27 ± 0.44 L vs. 1.85 ± 0.54 L, t=3.496), and the percentage of FEV1%(75.62 ± 6.84 vs. 66.86 ± 9.32, t=4.333) increased significantly. In the 10 mouths after the treatment, the treatment group showed significantly fewer patients who had attacked more than 6 times than that in the control group, and the duration of attacks showed significantly fewer minutes in the treatment group than the control group (5.56 ± 1.45 d vs. 8.06 ± 1.80 d, t=6.190). Conclusion Bushen-Gufeigao and breathing movements can effectively improve patient's lung function and symptoms.
