Objective To explore the effect of evidence-based medicine combined withcase based learning(CBL) in pediatric residency training.Methods Totally 52 residents were equally divided into two groups:experiment group and control group.Method of CBL combined with the evidencebased medicine (Taking two residents as one group,firstly teacher posed the questions and then residents searched for references when off duty and made evidence-based case presentation at fixed time when doing teaching ward around,after wards all personnel in the department made case discussion,finally teacher made the summary) was used in experimental group while traditional teaching method (teacher guided the residents to analyze the case by clinical experiences,residents took notes and sometimes asked questions,teacher directly gave the answers)was used in control group.The teaching effect is evaluated by questionnaire,theory test and clinical skills assessment.Statistical analysis was carried out on appraisal results with SPSS 16.0 software,test results and appraisal results were expressed as ((x-) ±s) and t test was performed,P < 0.05 was taken as statistically significant.Results Residents in experimental group had more advantages in self-study ability,literature retrieval ability,physician teamwork spirit,clinical thinking,PowerPoint making and language expression after receiving CBL combined with evidence-based medicine.Theory examination showed that average score of experimental group was better than that of control group (75.46 ± 6.646) vs.(71.38 ±4.758),with statistically significantly differences (P =0.014),especially in subjective items.Clinical skills assessment showed that experimental group was better than control group in writing medical records and doing clinical thinking.Conclusions Teaching method of evidence-based medicine combined with CBL is significantly better than traditional indoctrination teaching in improving the abilities of self-study,cultivating clinical thinking,literature retrieval,language performance and other skills.This teaching method is more suitable for pediatric residency training.

Objective To analyze the screening results of yon Willebrand factor among patients before blood transfusion in Ruijin Hospital and discuss von Willebrand factor in ABO blood group and the relationship between age and gender,refine the classification of vWF antigen and activity by reference factors.Methods The von Willebrand factor among 247 cases of patients before blood transfusion in Ruijin Hospital with no clinical manifestations of abnormal blood clots and routine coagulation as laboratory tests for normal surgical patients.The vWF:Ag and vWF:Act were measured by immune turbidimetric method and ABO blood group was identified by blood type serology.Furthermore,the differences between A,B,O,AB different blood groups,sex and high (≥40 years) and low age group (<40 years) were compared by statistical methods.Results The levels of vWF:Ag in different blood groups were as follows:A blood type:98.5-142.00,B blood type:97.90-160.30,O blood type:82.13-125.45,A B blood type:103.00-135.80.The levels of vWF:Act in different blood groups were as follows:A blood type:76-130.14,B blood type:78.06-144.3,O blood type:60.89-116.11,AB blood type:88.99-124.09.O blood type vWF:Ag and vWF:Act were lower significantly (P<0.05) than non-O blood type,the difference was.Besides,young vWF:Ag and vWF:Act were lower significantly than in the elderly.There was no significant difference in vWF:Ag and vWF:Act levels between male and female groups.At last,the reference range of four groups of vWF activity (antigen) was obtained.Conclusion Plasma vWF antigen and activity levels were significantly affected by ABO blood type and age,and the refined reference range established for these influencing factors was beneficial for more detailed diagnosis of VWD and predicting vWF levels associated with bleeding and thrombosis risk.

OBJECTIVETo study the chemical changes of salvianolic acid B and lithospermic acid of Salvia miltiorrhiza under the conditions of high temperature and high pressure and explore the reaction mechanism.
METHODS. miltiorrhiza extracts, salvianolic acid B and lithospermic acid were put in the reactor under the conditions of high temperature and high pressure (120 degrees C, 0.2 MPa), and the chemical changes and stability was studied.
RESULTSalvianolic acid A was the primary product in salvianolic acid B and lithospermic acid's conversion process, and lithospermic acid was an intermediate in the conversion process of salvianolic acid B. Compared with salvianolic acid B, lithospermic acid could convert into more salvianolic acid A and fewer other products in the same conditions. Salvianolic acid A was not stable under the conditions of high temperature and high pressure, and could sequentially convert into other small molecules.
CONCLUSIONReferring to the chemical conversion of salvianolic acid B and lithospermic acid, a method of large-scale preparation of salvianolic acid A can be developed.

Objective:
To understand the prevalence and disease burden of major chronic diseases in the elderly in China and provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of chronic diseases and for the rational allocation of health resources.
Methods:
We analyzed the prevalence of chronic diseases in residents aged ≥60 years in China by using national and provincial surveillance data of chronic diseases and related risk factors in China. We conducted the analysis on the burden of chronic diseases in the elderly in China by using the data of global burden of disease.
Results:
The prevalence rates of hypertension, diabetes and hypercholesterolemia were 58.3

Objective:
Analyzes of the monitoring results of silicosis in key occupational disease monitoring in Tianjin in 2017, providing reference for continuous monitoring, and prevention and control work of silicosis.
Methods:
Monitor and analyze the current state of silica dust hazard enterprises, the health status of silica dust workers, and the characteristics of newly developed silicosis cases in accordance with the national 2017 work plan for key occupational disease monitoring and occupational health risk assessment.
Results:
In 2017, 210 enterprises have silica dust hazard in Tianjin, silica dust workplaces exceed the standard rate is 34.73%, 5 695 workers' health examination who contact with silica dust were collected. 2 were detected occupational contraindication, the abnormal detection rate of chest examination is 3.60%, the abnormal index of lung function mainly is FVC, the abnormal rate is 15.8%. The abnormal rate increases with working years. In 2017, 193 new cases of silicosis were reported most cases were developed after years of decontamination. Most enterprises with cases had already out of market, only 7 were still producing.
Conclusion
The key prevention and control in Tianjin was enterprises with silica dust excess of standard, as well as older and longer working years workers, adopting effective measures to reduce the concentration of silica dust in workplace is a fundamental measure to reduce the risk of silicosis.
