Objective To explore the prognosis value of serum hydrogen sulfide (H2S) concentration and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation HI (APACHE Ⅲ) scores in critically ill patients. Methods The serum H2S levels were measured in 72 cases and 12 controls by spectrophotometry. The APACHE Ⅲ scores of the patients were assessed. The relationship between serum H2S concentration and APACHE H scores and prognosis were analyzed. Results The average serum H2S concentration of the 72 cases was (45. 6 ±17.2) μmol/L The concentration in the survival group was(41. 1 ± 14. 7) μmol/L,and which was significantly lower than in the dead group(62. 8 ±15. 5)μmol/L,(P<0. 01). The average APACHE I score was(43. 6 ±26. 0)of the 72 cases. The APACHE Ⅲ score was(37. 7 ±22. 2) in the survival group,and which was significantly lower than in the dead group (65. 0 ±29. 6) (P <0. 01). The higher of the serum H2S concentration or APACHE Ⅲ scores,the higher mortality of the patients(P <0. 01). Conclusions Serum H2S levels and APACHE Ⅲ scores of critically ill patients have a role in judging the condition and prognosis of the patients.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of measles in Jinshan District of Shanghai from 2004 to 2015 in order to provide guidelines for measles control. Methods A descriptive epidemiological analysis was conducted on measles cases reported in Jinshan District during 2004 to 2015. Epidemiological data of those cases were collected from surveillance system of infectious disease, Measles Surveillance System ( MSS) and case study records. Results A total of 225 confirmed measles cases were analyzed in this study with an annual incidence of 2. 66/100 000. The highest incidence was 11. 27/100 000 in 2005 and the lowest incidence was 0. 14/100 000 in 2011, taking on a descending trend (Z=-6. 689, P<0. 000 1). The number of cases from March to May accounted for 65. 33%. The incidence of measles in floating population (4. 00/100 000) was higher than that in resident population (2. 18/100 000) (χ2=20. 467, P<0. 000 1). The measles cases mainly concentrated in age groups of ≥20 years and <5 years. Workers, scattered children, domestic workers, farmers and fishermen had high incidences of measles. Mea-sles vaccine immunization history was clear in nine cases. Conclusion The incidence of measles in Jinshan District shows a general trend of decline in this decade with time and population clusters in occurrence, sug-gesting that the occurrence of measles in Jinshan is under control. It is necessary to strengthen measles sur-veillance, regular immunization among children and supplementary immunization among adults, especially in floating population, in order to maintain high levels of immune protection.

With the whole life involvement，21-hydroxylase deficiency（21-OHD）affects the quality of life，and the death rate of salt wasting form is high，thus the timely diagnosis and standardized treatment are needed. Traditionally，17-hydroxyprogesterone（17-OHP）is an indicator for screening，diagnosis and monitoring of 21-OHD. However，17-OHP has some limitations，such as high false-positive rate in neonatal screening，high fluctuation，and interference of puberty and menstrual cycle，etc. Therefore，attempts have been made to find better indicators to help guide clinical practice. Recently，several studies have suggested that 21-deoxycortisol（21-DF）may be a more specific marker for 21-OHD，which has the following advantages：no elevation is observed in premature infants or patients with other forms of congenital adrenal hyperplasia，and the blood sample timing doesn't affect the detection of 21-DF；21-DF is a reliable diagnostic marker of non-classical 21-OHD；adrenal gland is the only source of 21-DF. Therefore，this article reviews the limitations of 17-OHP and the relative advantages of 21-DF.

Objective: To investigate the coping styles and subjective well-being of nurses in the emergency treatment room of grade A tertiary hospitals in a province of China, and to explore the relationship between coping styles and subjective well-being. Methods: In January 2016, 189 nurses in the emergency treatment room were selected from 9 grade A tertiary hospitals in a province of China by random sampling. The general data, coping styles, and subjective well-being of these nurses were analyzed using the general questionnaire, coping style questionnaire, and Campbell index of well-being scale, respectively. Results: The total score of subjective well-being of nurses in the emergency treatment room was 7.54, and the subjective well-being was significantly different between the nurses with different professional titles and between those with different education levels (F=3.46 and 3.47, both P<0.05). The score of illusion coping style differed significantly across the nurses of different ages (F=5.17, P<0.05) , the scores of self-reproach, illusion, and withdrawal coping styles differed significantly across the nurses with different nursing years (F=3.99, 5.30, and 4.97, all P<0.05) , and the score of illusion coping style differed significantly across the nurses with different education levels (F=5.09, P<0.05). Most (71.9%) of the nurses in the emergency treatment room adopted the mature coping style. Subjective well-being was positively correlated with problem-solving, help-seeking, and rationalization (r=0.232, 0.018, and 0.167, all P<0.05) and negatively correlated with withdrawal (r=-0.146, P<0.05) . Conclusion Most nurses in the emergency treatment room adopt the mature coping style. Their subjective well-being and coping style vary with different ages, nursing years, professional titles, and education levels, and the subjective well-being is relatively low.

The emerging nano-black phosphorus materials have created a new platform for biomedical research. Nano-black phosphorus has the following advantages: black phosphorus can produce singlet oxygen under near-infrared light irradiation, so it can be used as a photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy;black phosphorus has extensive light absorption in the long wavelength region, and this near-infrared photothermal property can be used in photothermal therapy. The high specific surface area and unique fold structure of the black phosphorus nanosheet make it have very high drug loading.This paper mainly reviews the applications of black phosphorus in biological imaging, photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, and as a drug carrier in recent years. Based on the photoelectric properties of black phosphorus nanomaterials combined with intelligent drug delivery platform, the synergistic effects of light/heat/chemistry, light/chemistry/gene, and light/chemistry/immunity can be produced, which has a broad application prospect.

Methods The analytical data was collected from Infectious Disease Reporting Information System in China, and the spring-summer season was from March to August of 2017, while the autumn-winter was from the September of 2017 to the February of 2018. The Ripley's K-function and kernel density estimation were applied to analyze the spatial point pattern distribution and compare the distribution characteristics of spatial point pattern between the two seasons. Results In 2017, 133 cases of HFRS were reported in Jingzhou city, including the spring- summer and autumn-winter two pick incidences. The strongest aggregation distance was 17.77km in spring-summer season, and 14.40 km in autumn-winter season. The spatial gathering center was located in the north of Jianli County in spring-summer, and it moved to the south of Jiangling County and Shashi District in autumn-winter. Conclusions The key areas for the prevention and control of HFRS in Jingzhou City are Jiangling County, the southern part of Shashi District and the northern part of jianli county. The key groups are the residents of the urban-rural junction in the southern part of Shashi City, residents along the route of large-scale projects, and farmers engaged in agricultural planting or crayfish breeding in the gathering areas.

Objective To observe the nutritional biochemical indicators of paraquat poisoning patients, analyze and compare the nutritional status of patients and understand the changing trend of each indicator. Methods A total of 104 patients with acute paraquat poisoning who were admitted to the emergency department of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from December 2015 to December 2017 were enrolled, and divided into the cure group (patients who survived >30 days) and the death group. Nutritional biochemical indicators including serum protein (ALB, PA, TP) and serum lipids (TCh, TG, LDL) were selected for dynamic observation. The observation time points were set as follows: immediate treatment of poisoned patients (day 1 on admission), on day 4, 7, 10, 13 and 16 after admission, and on day 30 after follow-up. The nutritional biochemical indicators of the two groups on day 1 and 4 were statistically analyzed and compared by t test. The nutritional status of the patients in the cure group was analyzed, and the Repeated Measures Anova was performed to understand the trend of each indicator over time. Results In the cure group, the TP level decreased from (73.34±5.75)g/L on day 1 to (51.95±6.05)g/L on day 4, t=20.34, P<0.01; and the TCh level decreased from (4.37±0.98) mmol/L on day 1 to (3.03±1.01)mmol/L on day 4, t=7.56, P<0.01. In the death group, the TP level decreased from (72.25±8.80)g/L on day 1 to (49.07±5.48)g/L on day 4, t=12.38, P<0.01, and the TCh level decreased from (4.38±0.88)mmol/L on day 1 to (2.51±1.07) mmol/L on day 4, t=7.94, P<0.01. Compared with the cure group, serum levels of ALB, TP and TCh in the death group decreased greater from day 1 to day 4 (all P<0.05). In addition, dynamic observation of the indicators in the cure group within 16 days after admission showed that, after treatment, the levels of ALB and TP recovered slowly and were still lower than normal . While the levels of PA and lipid rose rapidly after 10 days of admission. Conclusions Paraquat poisoning seriously affects the nutritional status of patients, and the serum protein levels decline significantly and can not be recovered easily. Therefore, sufficient attention should be paid to the treatment, and timely and appropriate nutritional support should be provided.

OBJECTIVETo observe the expression of the matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) and membrane-type 1 metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) in lung of rats exposed to paraquat (PQ) and the effects of Salvia miltiorrhiza monomer IH764-3 on above expression.

METHODSNinety adult healthy Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into the control group (group A, 6 rats), the exposure group (group B, 42 rats) and the group treated by Salvia miltiorrhiza monomer IH764-3 (group C, 42 rats). The group B and C were treated intragastrically with 1ml of PQ (50 mg/kg), and the group A was treated intragastrically with normal saline. The group C was treated intraperitoneally with 1 ml Salvia miltiorrhiza monomer IH764-3 at the dose of 40 mg/kg a day. The group A and B were treated intraperitoneally with 1 ml normal saline day. The expression of MMP-2 and MT1-MMP was detected on the 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th and 35th days after exposure for all groups.

RESULTSAs compared with the expression level (0.305 ± 0.045) of MMP-2 mRNA in group A, the expression levels of MMP-2 mRNA in Group B significantly increased, which were 0.654 ± 0.077, 0.623 ± 0.051, 0.637 ± 0.024, 0.533 ± 0.043 and 0.552 ± 0.050 on the 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th, 21st days after exposure, respectively (P < 0.01). As compared with group A, the the expression levels of MMP-2 mRNA on the 1st, 3rd, 7th days in Group C slightly increased, but the expression levels of MMP-2 mRNA on the 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th, 21st days in Group C were 0.523 ± 0.074, 0.567 ± 0.097, 0.514 ± 0.058, 0.359 ± 0.018 and 0.374 ± 0.020, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in group B (P < 0.01). As compared with the expression level (0.391 ± 0.058) of MT1-MMP mRNA in group A, the expression levels of MT1-MMP mRNA in Group B significantly increased, which were 0.796 ± 0.021, 0.762 ± 0.043, 0.590 ± 0.010, 0.803 ± 0.076 and 0.680 ± 0.034 on the 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th and 21st days after exposure, respectively (P < 0.01). As compared with group A, the expression levels of MT1-MMP mRNA in Group C significantly increased, which were 0.594 ± 0.010, 0.653 ± 0.044 and 0.564 ± 0.009 on the 1st, 3rd and 21st days after exposure, respectively (P < 0.01). The expression levels of MT1-MMP mRNA in Group C were significantly lower than those in group B (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONThe expression changes of MMP-2 and MT1-MMP genes of lungs in rats intragastrically exposed to PQ could result in the unbalance the synthesis and degradation of ECM, which may be a cause of lung fibrosis. The Salvia miltiorrhiza monomer IH764-3 could affect the expression of MMP-2 and MT1-MMP genes to a certain extent, resulting in the reduction of lung fibrosis.

Objective:To investigate the in-hospital diagnosis and treatment time for patients with acute ischemic stroke in Hebei Province.Methods:The data of in-hospital diagnosis and treatment of acute ischemic stroke in Hebei Province were collected and analyzed, and then compared with the NINDS recommended time. Methods The data of in-hospital diagnosis and treatment of acute ischemic stroke in Hebei Province were collected and analyzed, and then compared with the NINDS recommended time.Results:The median time in hospital diagnosis and treatment was significantly longer than the NINDS recommended time (104 min vs. 60 min, P<0.001). The median time from completing the cranial CT scan to getting the CT report differed significantly to the NINDS recommended time (30 min vs. 20 min, P<0.001). The median time from getting the CT report to obtaining treatment was 43 min, which was significantly longer than the NINDS recommended 15 min ( P<0.001). The median time of in-hospital diagnosis and treatment for emergency service system (EMS) patients was 101 min, which was shorter than that for non-EMS patients (104 min, P=0.01). The median time of in-hospital diagnosis and treatment in Tertiary Hospital was 105 min, which was significantly longer than that in Secondary Hospital 99 min, ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The in-hospital emergency treatment delay in Hebei Province was relatively serious for patients with acute ischemic stroke. The time between obtaining the head CT report to beginning thrombolytic therapy is the most important factor in hospital delay. EMS can shorten in-hospital delay for acute ischemic stroke. Compared with the tertiary hospital, the secondary hospital has shorter in-hospital delay time.
