Objective To assess the implementation of essential public health services (EPHS), and determine the main influencing factors for EPHS in Menglian. Methods In September 2012, the questionnaire survey method was employed to collect the data of EPHS implementation in 2011 in three community medical institutes and the EPHS evaluation of health staff sampled by stratified random sampling in Menglian. Results In 2011, the report rates of infectious diseases epidemics, public health emergencies and health inspection were all 100%, the inoculation rates of most vaccines were over 90%,and the health management rates of the children aged 0 to 6 years,pregnant and lying-in woman,aged population,hypertensives, type 2 diabetes patients and serious psychotics were high (about 85%) . The establishment rate of heath archives (60%to 70%),the controlling rates of blood pressure in the hypertensive population (about 50%), the rates of glycemic control in type 2 diabetes patients (55%to 70%) and the steady rates of serious psychotics (50% to 60%), however, were low. The implementation of EPHS was unbalance among towns, suburbs and outer suburbs. The main factors that influenced the EPHS implementation were inadequate human resources, insufficient or unused health devices, ambiguous responsibilities among the health institutes, non-cooperative behaviors, and unhealthy living habits in rural residents. Conclusions The implementation of many EPHS items is good. For promoting EPHS,it is necessary to train human resources,activiate unused health devices,get support of residents and carry out health education.

Objective To assess prevalence and risk factors of illness within the past 2 weeks among rural residents in Menglian,under the background of essential public health service implemented generally. Methods In February 2012, the questionnaire method was employed to investigate the two-week morbidity in 2011 rural residents sampled by multistage stratified random sampling from Menglian population. Results The prevalence, that of illness within two-week among 2011 rural residents in Menglian, was 97.5‰ (95%CI 84.5‰-110.5‰) . It was lower than that of the rural region IV in China (149.6‰, <0.05) .Its age trend was the same as that of the rural region IV in China,the prevalence in 0-14 years old children,however,was higher than the counterpart in the rural region IV in China. The diseases, which two-week morbidity ranked the top five, were acute upper respiratory infection, acute gastroenteritis, hyperostosis, acute tracheobronchitis and rheumatoid arthritis. The results of multilevel logistic regression model fitted by group-level explanatory variable mountainous area, individual-level random slopes variable gender and other individual background variables indicated that there were across-level interactions between mountainous area and gender ( <0.05), the family income lower than RMB 15000 (odds ration 3.2378, 95%CI 1.9014-5.5130) and age (odds ration 1.0163, 95%CI 1.0002-1.0327) had a positive effect to two-week morbidity, and contrasting to unmarried, married had a negative effect to two-week morbidity (odds ratio 0.4727, 95%CI 0.2534-0.8819) . Conclusions Comparing with that of the rural region IV in China before implementing essential public health service, the two-week morbidity in Menglian was lower. For further elevating the health level of population, the strategies, such as intensifying material and child hygiene in the mountain area, improving sanitary conditions of low income family, and updating health consciousness in single population,would be implemented.

?AlM:To study the relationship between blood lead level and abnormal eye blinking in children.
? METHODS: The patients with chief complaint of frequent eye blinking, whose diagnosis of abnormal eye blinking, were randomized to experimental group. The patients in this group carried out vision and the slit-lamp examination, detected corneal fluorescein staining and tear break-up time, and improved the level of blood lead and trace elements examination. The patients in control group with chief complaint of health physical examination in our hospital, excepted of blood lead level, the other body check results were normal and were divided into boys group and girls group according to the gender. The changes of the experimental group and control group in blood lead level were compared.

BACKGROUND:Titanium and titanium aloy are used mostly in artificial joints, fracture fixation, and oral transplantation, while there are complex cases of insufficient bone mass in these areas. The deepened research of stem cels offers a solution for bone injury to promote new bone formation. The biocompatibility of titanium and stem cels and optimization of titanium surface modification have aroused people's attention. OBJECTIVE:To investigate whether the biocompatibility of titanium and human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cels can be improved by type I colagen modification of titanium sheets. METHODS:The experiment was divided into two groups. Modification group: titanium sheet was modified with type I colagen; control group: titanium sheet was not modified with type I colagen. Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cels at passage 6 were implanted into titanium sheet in two groups. Then we calculated the number of adherent cels in two groups at 1, 2 and 4 hours after implantation, and compared the celladhesion rate. MTT assay was used to observe the proliferation of cels on titanium sheet at 2, 4, 6 and 8 days after implantation. DNA and protein content of cels were detected at 3, 6, 9 days after implantation. The growth of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cels seeded upon the titanium sheets was observed under scanning electron microscope at 6 days. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:When the cels were cultured for 1 hour and 2 hours, the number of adherent cels in the modification group was higher than in the control group (P < 0.05). The absorbance of cels in two groups was increased as the culture time, as detected by MTT assay. The modification group had a significantly higher absorbance value than the control group at 4, 6, 8 days (P < 0.05). DNA and protein contents of the cels in the modification group were higher than that in control group at 6 and 9 days (P < 0.05). At 6 days, the number of adherent cels and secretion of adherent stromal cellmatrix in the modification group were significantly better than that in control group, observed by scanning electron microscopy. Type I colagen modified titanium sheets have good surface activity and biocompatibility, and can promote the proliferation of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cels.

Objective To summarize the clinical experiences of clinical surgical treatment of chomid plexus papillomas. Methods The clinical data of 28 patients who were admitced to our department within the last 15 years and definitely diagnosed as choroid plexus papillomas were analyzed retrospectively. Results Choroid plexus papillomas of 28 patients, 22.5 years old on average, were located at the lateral ventricle in 15 cases,the fourth ventricle in 9 cases,the third ventricle in 3 cases and the cerebellopontine angle in 1 case.All the cases had undergone microsurgical treatment,among which 7 underwent preoperative extemal ventricular drainage; total resection was obtained in 24 cases and subtotal resection, in 4 cases; no surgical monality occurred; some cases developed postoperative complications:there was no evidence of tumor recurrence among the 18 cases followed up from 6 months to 5 vears. Conclusiolls Choroid plexus papillomas are mostly benign, occur predominantly in children and have comparatively flavorable prognosis. Satisfactory therapeutic effects could be obtained through active total surgical resection.

Objective To explore the management of endocrine disturbance related to Symptomatic Rathke's cleft cysts (RCCs) in both pre- and post-operation, as well as the risk factors for the recurrence of RCCs after the operation. Methods The clinical manifestations, radiological and pathologic features, treatment, and surgical outcomes of 11 cases of symptomatic RCCs were reviewed retrospectively. Results Headache recovered in 100% of patients and visual disturbance improved in 83.3%, and Amenorrhea and/or galactorrhea recovered or improved in 66.7% of patients. However, diabetes insipidus and panhypopituitarism did not improve postoperatively. Transcranial surgery was performed in 6 patients and transsphenoidal surgery in 5 patients. No recurrence occurred in transcranial radical resected cases while 2 of 5 subtotally removed cases recurred with an average follow-up of 34.5 months. Inflammation was present in two of the recurrent cases. Conclusion RCCs is a rare pathology with a wide specctrum of clinical and radiological features. Accurate preoperative diagnosis can be difficult. Endocrine disturbance should be evaluated both pre- and post-operatively, and proper hormones replacement therapy is mandatory in these selected patients, Removing as much as possible and multiple biopsies around the cyst wall will be helpful in accurate diagnosis, especially of cases showing atypical pathologic findings, and special attention should be paid to follow-up examination.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the therapeutic effect of penoplasty with scrotal skin flap for the treatment of buried penis in children.

METHODSThe narrow ring was cut vertically at the ventral side of penis and the prepuce inner plate was circularly cut 0.5 cm from the coronary sulcus. The prepuce was degloved to the base of penis. The abnormal aponeurosis was removed completely. The prepuce was designed to cover the coronary sulcus. The scrotal flaps at both sides were formed and advanced to cover the penile base. Then the prepuce was sutured to reconstruct penile-scrotal angle and scrotum plasty was completed.

RESULTSFrom March 2009 to July 2011, 24 children with buried penis were treated with scrotal flaps. Adhesion at external orifice of urethra was happened in two cases which recovered after urethra expansion. There was one case of necrosis at the distal end of prepuce. All the cases were followed up for 6 months to 2 years with no penile shrinkage. The penile appearance was good without rotation or lateral curvature during erection.

CONCLUSIONSThe buried penis can be best corrected with scrotal flap. It is an ideal method with less complication.

To prepare scaffolds for heart valve tissue engineering, porcine heart valves were treated with varied concentrations of trypsin for 32, 56, 80 and 104 h or followed with DNase. And then the structure of acellular valves was observed under light microscope, scanning and transmission electron microscope. Porcine endothelial cells, human endothelial cells, and canine myofibroblasts were reseeded onto the acellularized porcine heart valve scaffolds once a day for 3 days. The valves were analyzed by immunohistochemical staining and electron microscopy. Results show that all endothelial cells and the majority of interstitial cells were removed from the heart valves after digestion with trypsin for 104 h, and the collagen fiber structure remains intact, but the space between collagen fibers increased slightly. Incubation with trypsin for 80 h and then with DNase almost removed all cells, and the collagen fiber structure and the space between the fibers remain intact. After reseeding, human endothelial cells almost fully cover the valve scaffold surface as shown by H-E staining and platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecules (PECAM-1) staining. Xenogeneic porcine endothelial cells also adhered to and grew on the scaffolds. As shown by H-E staining and actin staining, canine myofibroblasts not only adhered to the surface of valve scaffold but also migrated to the inner part of matrix after one week culture. These results suggest that the digestion of porcine heart valves with trypsin combining with DNase is a suitable method to remove cells. The acellular porcine heart valve scaffolds have a quite favorable biocompatibility with human and porcine endothelial cells as well as canine myofibroblasts.

To investigate theological properties of common hydrophilic gel excipients such as Carbopol based on viscosity, the viscosity was determined by rotation method and falling-ball method. Linear regression was made between ln(eta) and concentration, the slope of which was used to explore the relation between viscosity and concentration of different excipients. The viscosity flow active energy (E(eta)) was calculated according to Arrhenius equation and was used to investigate the relation between viscosity and temperature of different excipients. The results showed that viscosities measured by two methods were consistent. Concentration of guargum (GG) and hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC) solution had a great influence on the viscosity, k > 5; while concentration of polyvinylpyrrolidone-K30 (PVP-K30) and polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG6000) exerted a less effect on viscosity, k < 0.2; viscosity flow active energy of different excipients were close, which ranged from 30 to 40 kJ x mol(-1). Therefore, theological properties study could provide the basis for application of excipients and establish a foundation for the research of relation between excipients structure, property and function.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the biodegradation of tetrachloroethylene (PCE) using methanol as electron donor by acclimated anaerobic sludge.

METHODSHP-6890 gas chromatograph (GC), together with HP-7694 autosampler, was used to analyze the concentration of PCE and intermediates.

RESULTSPCE could be decholrinated reductively to DCE via TCE, and probably further to VC and ethylene. The degradation of PCE and TCE conformed to first-order reaction kinetics. The reaction rate constants were 0.8991 d(-1) and 0.068 d(-1), respectively, and the corresponding half-life were 0.77 d and 10.19 d, respectively. TCE production rate constant was 0.1333 d(-1), showing that PCE was degraded more rapidly than TCE.

CONCLUSIONMethanol is an electron donor suitable for PCE degradation and the cometabolic electron donors are not limiting factors for PCE degradation.
