Objective To evaluate the effect of health education on preventing birth defects in community in terms of knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) for married women in reproductive age. Method A self-designed general information form and a questionnaire on KAP of married women′s preventing birth defects were used to investigate the KAP among 300 married nulliparous women. Result The average rate of cognitive knowledge of birth defects was 60.8%, the average rate of cognitive behaviors was 59.2%, and the average rate of cognitive attitude was 67.4%. Conclusion In order to reduce the rate of birth defects and improve the quality of births, we should implement three-level prevention education system, enrich the health education methods to enhance the knowledge, attitude and behavior of married women.

Objective To evaluate effects of trichostain A (TSA) on cell proliferation, cell cycles, apoptosis and invasiveness of multiple myeloma cell line U266; as well as active changes of methylation regulating proteins including DNA methyl-transferase(DNMTs), methyl-binding domain (MBD) proteins: MBD2 and MeCP2 after treated with TSA. Methods U266 cells were treated with different concentrations of TSA for 12, 24, 48 and 60 h. The proliferation activity of U266 cells was detected by MTT and the IC50 of 24 h was calculated. After U266 cells were treated with IC50, cell cycles were check out by dying with PI. mRNA of matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP-2), bc1-2, bcl-xl and methylation regulating proteins (DNMTs, MBD2 and MeCP2) were detected by real-time PCR. FCM and Western blotting were used to measure expressions of MMP-2 and MBD2. Results MTT results revealed TSA inhibited proliferation of U266 cells in a dose-and time-dependent manner and the IC50 of 24 h was 0.07 μmol/L FCM analysis showed that TSA could arrest the cell cycle in G0/G1 and the proliferation index (PI) in U266 cells [(49.90 0.39)%]were significantly different after exposed to TSA (0.7 μmnol/L for 24h compared with that in the control cells[(55.78 0.49)%](P <0.01). After treated by TSA, the 2-△△Ct of MMP-2, bcl-2 and bcl-xl were 0.71 0.06, 5.04 0.92 and 2.95 0.35, respectively. There were great changes on mRNA of DNMT, MBD2 and MeCP2. TSA could reverse the transcription of DNMT, MBD2 and MeCP2. Conclusion TSA can arrest the U266 cell cycle in GVG, to prevent its proliferation and promote apoptosis, which maybe greatly connect with the changes of the methylation regulating proteins.

Objective:To survey the first-aid ability of general practitioners (GPs) and the emergency service capacity of primary health institutions in southern Zhejiang province.Methods:The questionnaire of first-aid ability of GPs in primary care institution was developed on the basis of the Delphi method during August to October 2018. The questionnaire was employed in a survey on the first-aid ability among 480 GPs from 169 community health service centers of three regions in southern Zhejiang province. The survey covered basic information and first-aid skills and emergency response ability of GPs, and the emergency facilities of primary health institutions.Results:A total of 480 questionnaires were distributed and 447 were retrieved with an recovery rate of 93. 1%(447/480). Among the 447 responders, 55.9% (250/447) were males, 70.9% (317/447) had bachelor′s degree or above, and 60.2% (269/447) had middle and senior professional titles. There were 99.6% (445/447), 86.6% (387/447), 76.1% (340/447) and 69.8% (312/447) responders considered cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR), electrical defibrillation, respiratory balloon and endotracheal intubation as important first-aid skills, and corresponding mastery rates were 84.3% (377/447), 32.0% (143/447), 55.2% (247/447) and 12.9% (58/447), respectively. The 92.4% (413/447) responders thought that the rescue ability of common emergency and critical illness was the most important, while only 32.4% (145/447) responders mastered it. Least responders [41.4%(185/447)] thought that ability of using bedside ultrasound was important, and the corresponding mastery rate was only 3.8%(17/447); 77.4%(346/447) of general practitioners believed that CPR machines was important, while the available rate of CPR machines in primary health care institutions was only 16.0%(27/169).Conclusion:The GPs in southern Zhejiang province have a good grasp of cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills, but have a low mastery rate of first-aid skills such as electrical defibrillation, tracheal intubation, and emergency rescue capabilities, which are quite different from their perceived importance evaluation.
