BACKGROUND: The quality of chest compressions can be significantly improved after training of rescuers according to the latest national guidelines of China. However, rescuers may be unable to maintain adequate compression or ventilation throughout a response of average emergency medical services because of increased rescuer fatigue. In the present study, we evaluated the performance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in training of military medical university students during a prolonged basic life support (BLS). METHODS: A 3-hour BLS training was given to 120 military medical university students. Six months after the training, 115 students performed single rescuer BLS on a manikin for 8 minutes. The qualities of chest compressions as well as ventilations were assessed. RESULTS: The average compression depth and rate were 53.7±5.3 mm and 135.1±15.7 compressions per minute respectively. The proportion of chest compressions with appropriate depth was 71.7%±28.4%. The average ventilation volume was 847.2±260.4 mL and the proportion of students with adequate ventilation was 63.5%. Compared with male students, significantly lower compression depth (46.7±4.8 vs. 54.6±4.8 mm,P<0.001) and adequate compression rate (35.5%±26.5% vs. 76.1%±25.1%,P<0.001) were observed in female students. CONCLUSIONS: CPR was found to be related to gender, body weight, and body mass index of students in this study. The quality of chest compressions was well maintained in male students during 8 minutes of conventional CPR but declined rapidly in female students after 2 minutes according to the latest national guidelines. Physical fitness and rescuer fatigue did not affect the quality of ventilation.

Objective To investigate current status of narcotic analgesic use in patients with cancer pain in our hospital, in order to promote the rationalization of prescribing narcotic drugs and the rational use of analgesics. Methods A total of 400 narcotic prescriptions ( 100 of outpatients and 300 of inpatients ) in Tongji hospital were randomly selected from March to May in 2014.Basic index and consumption of anesthetic drugs, money consumption distribution on different tumor types, and unreasonable prescription were analyzed. Results The overall prevalence of irrational prescriptions was 11. 00%, with 13.00% from inpatient and 10. 33% from outpatient, respectively. Reasons for irrational prescriptions mainly included vague instructions on dosage and administration, incomplete clinical diagnosis, lack of pharmacist check and inappropriate dosage. In the basic indexes, proportions of reasonable prescription and drugs within the national formulary were higher in the inpatient than in the outpatient service.The average money consumption of outpatient prescription was significantly higher than that of inpatient prescription.Most types of diagnosis were lung cancer in outpatient and inpatient departments, and total cost of lung cancer drugs was the highest.Morphine hydrochloride of outpatient had the highest average consumption, followed by codeine phosphate of the outpatient and the inpatient, and oxycodone hydrochloride controlled-release tablets cost more in inpatient. Conclusion The narcotic analgesic used in our hospital is basically rational. Most doctors prescribe according to the guidelines, but standardized training of prescription for cancer patients with pain medication needs to be strengthened, and supervision of narcotic analgesic medication should be enhanced.

OBJECTIVE:
To determine the carrier rate for 21 inherited metabolic diseases among a Chinese population of childbearing age.
METHODS:
A total of 897 unrelated healthy individuals (including 143 couples) were recruited, and DNA was extracted from their peripheral blood samples. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was carried out to screen potential variants among 54 genes associated with 21 inherited metabolic diseases. Pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants and unreported loss-of-function variants were analyzed.
RESULTS:
One hundred fourty types of pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants (with an overall number of 183) and unreported loss-of-function variants were detected, which yield a frequency of 0.20 per capita. A husband and wife were both found to carry pathogenic variants of the SLC25A13 gene and have given birth to a healthy baby with the aid of preimplantation genetic diagnosis. The detected variants have involved 40 genes, with the most common ones including ATP7B, SLC25A13, PAH, CBS and MMACHC. Based on the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the incidence of the 21 inherited metabolic diseases in the population was approximately 1/1100, with the five diseases with higher incidence including citrullinemia, methylmalonic acidemia, Wilson disease, glycogen storage disease, and phenylketonuria.
CONCLUSION
This study has preliminarily determined the carrier rate and incidence of 21 inherited metabolic diseases among a Chinese population of childbearing age, which has provided valuable information for the design of neonatal screening program for inherited metabolic diseases. Pre-conception carrier screening can provide an important measure for the prevention of transmission of Mendelian disorders in the population.
