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 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.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for ischemic stroke in Uygur population in Xinjiang, China. Methods Using a case-control study mode, 504 Uygur patients with first-ever ischemic stroke and 507 Uygur healthy subjects w ere investigated in accordance w ith the principle of the ethnic, sex, and age matching. The risk factors for ischemic stroke w ere screened. Results Multivariate logistic regres-sion analysis showed that the obesity (odds ratio [OR] 4.82, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.80-12.94;P=0.002), hypertension ( OR 8.20, 95%CI 4.93-13.51; P<0.001), and heart disease ( OR 2.40, 95%CI 1.07-5.39;P=0.033) w ere the independent risk factors for ischemic stroke in Uygurs. While the education level of junior high school or above ( OR 0.38, 95%CI 0.18-0.81;P=0.012), tea drinking habit ( OR 0.22, 95%CI0.06-0.70; P=0.021), siesta habit ( OR 0.38, 95%CI 0.24-0.59; P<0.001), high levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( OR 0.34, 95%CI 0.20-0.59; P<0.001), and apolipoprotein A ( OR 0.23, 95%CI 0.07-0.77; P=0.017) were the protective factors for ischemic stroke. Conclusions The risk factors for ischemic stroke are more and typical in Uygur population in Xinjiang, China. Adjusting the diet structure of Uygurs, less taking meats and high-salt diet, intaking high fiber foods and fish, and appropriate physical exercise w il play an important role for the prevention of stroke in Uygur population.

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.
