From October 2006 to December 2008,170 medical professionals(120 from a provincial hospital,and 50 from 10 district hospitals or hygiene stations),and 400 baby watchers who took care of children(aged<3 years)with diarrhea,rickets,pneumonia,or nutritional anemia were randomly assigned to reeeive health education or medical behavior intervention.The results showed that the basic knowledge on prevention and treatment of diarrhea,rickets,pneumonia,or nutritional anemia wad improved,and oral rehydration solution utility rate was significantly increased(P<0.05 or P<0.01).The rate of breast feeding was higher,and the use of auxiliary food became more proper and timely.The use of antibiotics decreased.The baby watchers got more suggestions,and their qualification rate of medical knowledge and disease.related treatment behaviors were improved(all P<0.01). Nerwork-based health education and medical behavior intervention may have significant effects on healthcare providers who look after urban children with diarrhea,rickets,pneumonia,or nutritional anemia.

As one of the most catastrophic complications, prosthetic joint infection remains one of the most stubborn medical problems.However, the biomarkers and laboratory tests commonly used often exhibit either a low sensitivity or a low specificity, which makes it still difficult to diagnose.Therefore, we summarize a number of recent new developments home and abroad, and overview from the aspects of serological markers, synovial fluid markers, radionuclide imaging methods, preoperative periprosthetic tissue biopsy, in-traoperative periprosthetic tissue culture, histological analysis of periprosthetic tissue and new molecular technology.

The diagnosis of post-concussion symptoms (PCS) has been a controversial issue because of that its pathogenesis is often involved in both neural damage and psychosocial factors. Recent researches have examined the diagnostic and evaluating value of several available methods or tools, including clinical interview, conventional CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), neuropsychologic testing and neurochemical test. In mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI), there exist diffusive damages to white matter distributed particularly near the gray matter-white matter boundary and in the long white-matter tracts in midline structures. The conventional imaging techniques are unable to detect any positive evidence due to the diffusive nature of these injuries. This paper is to review epidemiologic study, diagnostic criteria and relevant disputes, conventional diagnostic strategy and new MRI techniques, and then evaluate the application and prospective value of them in the diagnosis and rating of PCS and MTBI. Non-invasively quantitative assessments of modern brain imaging technique may be developed to sensitive and promising tools in the diagnosis and forensic evaluation of PCS.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility to detect Prototheca in a mouse model of Prototheca zopfii cutaneous infection by using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).Methods The model of Prototheca zopfii cutaneous infection was established by abdominal subcutaneous inoculation of Prototheca zopfii suspensions into 20 male BALB/c mice.Seven days after the inoculation,the mice were sacrificed,and tissue specimens were obtained from abdominal skin and subjected to microscopic examination,fungal culture and paraffin embedding.A PZ-probe was artificially synthesized and used to detect Prototheca in paraffin-embedded sections by using FISH.Moreover,both periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) and hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining were performed to examine the paraffin-embedded sections.Skin specimens obtained from normal mice and Candida albicans-or Cryptococcus neoformans-infected mice served as the negative control.Results Clinical presentations,pathological examination and fungal culture results all confirmed the successful establishment of Prototheca zopfii skin infection model in mice.Prototheca was identified by FISH with the PZ-probe in the paraffin-embedded skin tissue sections from the murine model of Prototheca zopfii cutaneous infection,but not detected in the negative control tissue specimens,which was consistent with the results of PAS and HE staining.Conclusion FISH can be used to detect Prototheca in paraffin-embedded skin sections from the mouse model of Prototheca zopfii cutaneous infection.

Objective To discuss the mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine apozem which was pressurized by automation to treat acne.Method Bacteriostasis effect of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine on propionibacterium acnes and rate of seborrhea(SER) pre-and post-treatment were observed.Result Traditional Chinese medicine apozem had more obviously bacteriostatic action than western antibiotic medicine(erycin,amphemycin,chlorodeoxylincomycin)(? 2 =71.77,P

Objective:To study the sleep conditions, the prevalence of insomnia and the treatment problems in Jinuo People.Methods: 126 Jinuo People were investigated with “questionnaire of sleep conditions" which was designed for this study. Results: Sleep duration of Jinuo people decrease as they get old. The rate of siesta in people under 30-year-old was significantly higher than that of over 30-year-old. Among 126 Jinuo people,43 suffered from insomnia (34.12%). Psychiatric diseases(41.86%)and alcohol dependence(30.23%) were the two most common causes of insomnia. Among the patients with insomnia, 11(25.58%) sought for treatment. Conclusion: Compared with the general population, the prevalence of insomnia in Jinuo people was relatively higher. In view of the sampling bias and small sample, this results need to be validated by further study.
