Objective The incidence rate of complication during central venous catheterization through internal jugular vein (IJV) and subclavian vein (SV) puncture. Methods Clinical controlled trials about IJV and SV puncture were collected and related literatures were screened according to the criteria of inclusion. The literatures underwent Meta analysis and subsequent analysis of sensitivity. Results A total of 18 literatures were included. Meta analysis indicated that statistical difference existed in the related infection rate [RR=1.74, 95%CI (1.32, 2.30)] and arterial puncture [RR=3.19, 95%CI (1.70, 5.99)], but not in the one-time-puncture success rate [RR=1.06, 95%CI (0.90, 1.24)] between IJV and SV puncture. Conclusions The rate of related infection and arterial puncture was higher by IJV than by SV puncture. But we could not confirm if any difference existed in the one-time-puncture success rate between the two methods. The results still needs evaluation by high-quality randomly controlled experiments.

To explore the causes of the postoperative complications of the penile elongation and the measures to prevent them in order to raise the success rate of the penile elongation. 1,000 patients who had received the penile elongation were reviewed and analyzed for the causes of postoperative complications, and the measures of prevention and treatment were discussed. Our results showed that, of the 1,000 cases, 64 had the postoperative complications, including 20 cases of edema of prepuce, 15 cases of flap necrosis, 12 hematoma, 9 infections, and 8 cases of fat and clumsy penis. It is concluded that correct operative manipulation, strict aseptic measures and necessary postoperative care and management could avoid or reduce the postoperative complications. When complications happened, a satisfactory result can be achieved with timely and correct treatment in the majority of the patients.

In order to observe the effect of the immune and weight of chickens after use the attenuated vaccine with low dose of chicken infectious anemia virus (CIAV). In this study, the effects of low dose of CIAV on the weight of SPF chickens and NDV antibody production were observed by simulated experiments. The results showed that 10 EID50 and 5 EID50 CIAV per plume attenuated NDV vaccines were used to cause the weight loss of SPF chickens. Compared with the use of the non contaminated vaccine group, it has significant difference. And NDV antibody levels compared with the use of the non contaminated groups also decreased after use the vaccine with two doses of CIAV contaminated. It has significant difference. A certain proportion of CIAV antibody positive was detected at the beginning of the second week after use the NDV vaccine with two doses of CIAV contaminated. The detection of a high proportion of CIAV nucleic acid was detected in the first week after the use of a contaminated vaccine. The results of the study demonstrate the effects of CIAV pollution on the production and immune function of SPF chickens, and it is suggested that increasing the detection of viral nucleic acid can help save time and improve the detection rate in the detection of exogenous virus contamination by SPF chicken test method.

Objective To understand the relationship between the dietary patterns and metabolic syndrome among elderly people in Zhejiang province,in order to provide scientific basis and reference for nutrition interventions.Methods Data were obtained from the 2010-2012 Chinese National Nutrition and Health Survey,and factor analysis was used to obtain food patterns among elderly people in Zhejiang province.The Logistic regression was used to explore the association of the food patterns with metabolic syndrome and its components.Results The intakes of bean products,nuts,fruits,eggs,and milk in elderly people were generally low,and the intakes of livestock and poultry meat,cooking oil and salt were relatively high.5 dietary patterns were derived by factor analysis:high-quality protein diet,mediterranean diet,condiments diet,traditional dietary pattern and western dietary pattern.The medical test results in 780 elderly people showed that the standardized prevalence of metabolic syndrome in the elderly was 28.8％,standardized central obesity rate was 41.2％,standardized hypertension rate was 50.3％ and standardized hyperglycemia rate was 39.5％.Logistic regression analysis showed that different dietary patterns had different effects on the metabolic syndrome and its components.Conclusions The prevalence rate of metabolic syndrome and the abnormal rates of its components are high in the elderly in Zhejiang.The intakes of fruits and milk are generally low,and intakes of livestock and poultry meat,cooking oil and salt are relatively high.The relationship between dietary patterns and MS or its components is complicated,so it is necessary to guide the elderly people to adopt reasonable diet by referring to the Diet Pagoda in order to reduce the risk of MS or its components.

Objectives To investigate the consumption of carbohydrate and distribution of dietary glycemic load (GL) in Chinese adults. Method Data from China National Nutrition and Health Survey in 2002 were used for this analysis. Dietary glycemic load was calculated as a function of glycemic index, carbohydrate content and frequency of intake of individual foods. Results Dietary glycemic load was contributed by 92% from cereals. People with low dietary GL /4184 kJ tended to consume more fat, less cereals, and less carbohydrates. The prevalence of overweight and obesity was higher in those with low GL/4184 kJ, especially in urban residents. Conclusion People with low GL/4184 kJ tend to consume more fat, less cereals, less carbohydrates. The situation in urban residents is more serious. Based on factors including cereals intake, energy contribution from fat and carbohydrates, prevalence of malnutrition, overweight and obesity. A proposed range for dietary GL /4184 kJ in Chinese adults can be 80~120.
