Objective To study the change tendency of air pollutants in Shenzhen, China in 2002-2005, further, to explore the relationship between disease spectrum and air pollution. Methods The daily mean concentration of SO2, NO2 and PM10 in 2002-2005 in eight environmental monitoring sites were determined according to Ambient Air Quality Standard. Results Air concentrations of SO2, NO2 and PM10 increased yearly in 2002-2004, from 0.018 3 mg/m3 to 0.023 4 mg/m3, 0.050 1 mg/m3 to 0.072 5 mg/m3, 0.061 0 mg/m3 to 0.075 7 mg/m3, respectively, however, the concentrations of the three indexes decreased in 2005. In the past four yeas, average levels of SO2 were under the limit of grade 2 of GB3095-1996, as for PM10, under the limit of grade 2, and most of the concentrations of NO2 were under the limit of grade 3, but in the other two monitoring sites, the concentrations of NO2 in 2004 exceeded the limit of grade 3. The year average concentrations of SO2, NO2 and PM10 in 2002-2005 in the outer region were higher compared with those in the inner region of the special economic zone, except the level of NO2 in 2002. As for the quarter average concentrations of SO2, NO2 and PM10, 1st and 4th were higher compared with 2nd and 3rd. Conclusion The air quality in Shenzhen is better in China, however, more attention should be paid to the pollution of nitrogen oxides and inhalable particle matters.

In order to set up a medical security system suitable for laborers and solve for them the problem of inadequate and expensive medical services,the city of Shenzhen started on March 1,2005(apilot) cooperative medical care for laborers in the four neighborhoods of Buji,Longgang,Longhua and Shajing on the basis of an earlier model.The new model,which stipulated that each person paying 12 yuan each month,with the employer paying 8 yuan and the individual laborer paying 4 yuan,was entitled to both outpatient and inpatient medical services,was popular with both businesses and laborers.At present the number of people participating in the new model of cooperative medical care for laborers exceeded 1 million,the number of designated medical institutions was gradually increasing,and medical expenses were put under control.

The critical period for the prevention and control of novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) in China, in response to requirements for accelerating the modernization of the disease prevention and control system, we analyzed and summarized the current situation, existing problems, and deficiencies in China′s modernization of disease prevention and control system. In addition, we put forward the contents and countermeasures for the modernization of the disease prevention and control system. The modernization of the disease prevention and control system should be built around governance modernization, talent modernization, equipment modernization, scientific research modernization, and modernization of the regulatory system. The countermeasures and suggestions need to reposition the disease prevention and control system, rationalize the management system and operating mechanism, strengthen the modernization of talents and equipment, strengthen scientific research on disease prevention and control, and further improve the disease prevention and control legal system.

Objective To analyze the VP1-VP4 genetic region of enterovirus 71 ( EV71 ) strains isolated from children with severe or mild hand, foot and mouth disease ( HFMD) in Shenzhen in 2012. Methods EV71 strains were isolated from five children with mild HFMD and five children with severe HFMD in Shenzhen in 2012.Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction ( RT-PCR) method was used to amplify the sequence of VP1-VP4 genes of EV71 strains.The sequences of the amplified products were analyzed by comparing with those of the EV71 reference strains ( A, B and C genotypes) published in Gen-Bank using nucleotide alignment, amino acid alignment and phylogenetic tree analysis.Results The homo-geneity between the EV71 strains isolated from severe and mild cases was 95.1%-98.2% in nucleotides and 99.2%-100% in amino acids.The VP1-VP4 nucleotide sequences of 5 strains isolated from severe cases and 5 strains from mild cases in Shenzhen shared 87.9%-97.8% homologies in nucleotides and 97.3%-99.9% homologies in amino acids with the genotype C EV71 reference strain.The EV71 strains isolated from children in Shenzhen were highly similar with the EV71 strain (FJ439769) isolated in Fuyang in 2008 and the one isolated in Jingdezhen in 2011 (JQ806378, C4a subtype) in nucleotide sequences.Mutations at the residue 31 in the VP1 region ( N→D ) were detected in 3 strains isolated from children with severe HFMD.Conclusion All of the 10 EV71 strains isolated in Shenzhen in 2012 belonged to the sub-genotype C4a.The mutation ( aa31 N→D) in the VP1 region of EV71 might be related to the different clinical mani-festations of HFMD cases in Shenzhen area.

Objective To verify the correlation between rs17118 polymorphism of xyluloknase homolog (XYLB) gene and risk of ischemic stroke in a Chinese Han population.Methods A case-control study design was used.The case group was the patients with first-ever ischemic stroke and the control group was the healthy subjects from hospital physical examination.Taqman probe fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction technique was used to detect the genotype distribution of rs17118 C/A polymorphisms.Results A total of 475 patients with ischemic stroke and 483 controls were enrolled in the study.The proportion of hypertension (67.9％ vs.22.2％;x2 =292.982,P ＜ 0.001) and diabetes (24.2％ vs.7.3％;x2 =25.864,P ＜ 0.001),as well as the levels of triacylglycerol (1.649 ± 1.126 mmol/L vs.1.157 ±1.480 mmol/L;t=3.592,P＜0.001),and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (3.499 ± 1.163 mmol/L vs.3.105 ± 0.627 mmol/L;t =-6.227,P ＜ 0.001) in the case group were significantly higher than those in the control group,but the total cholesterol level was significantly lower than that in the control group (5.144 ± 1.296 mmol/L vs.5.491 ± 1.335 mmol/L;t =4.650,P ＜ 0.001).The AA genotyp e (11.4％ vs.7.5 ％;x2 =6.136,P =0.016) and A allele (32.3 ％ vs.26.4％;x2 =8.093,P =0.005) frequencies in the case group were significantly higher than those in the control group.Multivariatelogistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for traditional risk factors,the risk of ischemic stroke in AA genotype carriers was 1.97 times of the CC genotype carriers (odds ratio 1.971,95％ confidence interval 1.040-3.736,P=0.038).Conclusions The rsl7118C/A polymorphism of XYLB gene may be associated with the risk of ischemic stroke in the Chinese Han population.

Objective To compare the effect,relapse rate and outcomes between mycophenolate mofetil(MMF)and pulse intravenous cyclophosphamide(CTX)in the induction therapy of pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis(PICGN)in Chinese.Methods A total of 44 patients who had PICGN[16 male,28 female,age(46.8?13.7)y],of whom 25 patients were ANCA positive,were enrolled in this study.All patients had renal involvement with ≥50% crescent formation prior to the study and received either MMF treatment(MMF group,n=22)or intermittent CTX pulse therapy(CTX group,n=22).The patients in both groups also received methylprednisolone(MP)pulse therapy followed by oral prednisone.General conditions,clinicopathological findings,remission rate,relapse rate,and outcomes were compared.All the patients were followed up until June 2005,with an average follow-up of 8～60(Med 27)months in the MMF group,and 6～72(Med 29)months in the CTX group.Results No significant difference was found between MMF group and CTX group in general conditions,base parameters of clinical and pathological findings.The remission rate at the 12th month in MMF and CTX group was 90.9% and 72.7% respectively.The complete remission rate in MMF group(59.1%)was significantly higher than that of the CTX group(27.3%)(P

Objective To evaluate the life quality in front and at the back of the cure of the floating population tuberculosis patients.Methods The SF-36 scale was applied to the new smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patient in floating population using face to face interview in Shenzhen 6 districts.The contrast was tuberculosis patient in the population of the household register,the people stayed temporarily in the same term.Results The score of general health(43.36 ± 15.67),vitality(57.96 ± 16.54) and mental health(61.46 ± 14.26) in the floating population was lower than the appraisal result with the population of the household register(49.28 ± 17.85,66.38 ± 17.03 and 66.70 ± 15.12),the people stayed temporarily(45.00 ± 17.22,60.99 ± 16.59 and 63.13 ±13.71 ) (P ＜ 0.05 ).It was still lower than the other two groups after 2 (3) months and 6 (7) months (P ＜ 0.05 ).But the score of social functioning in floating population ( 88.92 ± 14.88 ) was higher than the other two groups (82.62 ± 14.44,68.02 ± 27.30).The change rate of general health ( (76.05 ± 132.82) ％,(69.32 ± 111.98 ) ％and (48.36 ± 101.31 ) ％ ) and social functioning scores( (46.49 ± 85.18 ) ％,( 26.33 ± 50.25 ) ％ and ( 51.09±73.44)％ ) were significant difference in the three groups(x2 =12.088,P=0.002;x2 =11.611,P=0.003).The change rate of the general health score in floating population was higher than the household register population and people stayed temporarily.Conclusion It is necessary to implement the management in whole course to the floating population tuberculosis patients.

Objective To provide the theoretical supportting for targeted heparanase (HPA) inhibition of cervical cancer through observing the anti-proliferative effect of the HPA inhibitor on HeLa cell line of cervical cancer. Methods The two series of 13 kinds of novel HPA inhibitors were synthesized and optimized. Heparan degrading enzyme assay kit was used to test the effect of the inhibitors on the inhibition of HPA enzyme activity. Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) method and scratch test were used to observe the anti-proliferative and the migration effect of the inhibitors on HeLa cells. Flow cytometry was performed to determine the cell cycles and apoptosis. The expression of HPA was evaluated by reverse transcription (RT)-PCR, western blot and immunocytochemistry. Results All tested inhibitors could inhibit the activity of HPA enzyme [the range of 50% inhibiting concentration (IC50) values from 4.47 to 47.19 μmol/L] and the growth of HeLa cells (the range of IC50 values from 48.16 to 96.64μmol/L). Among them, No.16 compound exhibits the strongest inhibition against the growth of HeLa, which could arrest the cell into G0/G1 and G2/M phases. The rate of cell apoptosis in the group treated with 50μmol/L No.16 for 48 hours [(11.9±1.2)%] was significantly higher than that [(6.6 ± 1.8)%] in untreated group (P=0.013). Real time PCR and western blot showed that expression levels of HPA mRNA (1.23±0.46) and protein (0.46±0.31) significantly decreased in the treated group as compared with the levels of HPA mRNA (3.43 ± 0.45) and protein (1.30 ± 0.58) in the untreated group (both P<0.05). Immunocytochemistry also showed that the treatment of No.16 significantly reduced the average optical density (0.39 ± 0.04) of HPA immuostaining signal compared with that in the control group (0.50 ± 0.09; P=0.026). Conclusion Novel 1,3-O,N spiroheterocyclic HPA inhibitors could inhibit the proliferation of HeLa cells,inhibit the HPA enzyme activity in different degree, and down-regulate the expression of HPA protein.
