Objective To investigate the characteristics of pathogen distribution and drug resistance of pulmonary infection in hemorrhagic brain injury patients from neurosurgical intensive care unit (NICU).Methods Clinical data of 234 patients with hemorrhagic brain injury hospitalized in NICU from March 2013 to September 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the incidence of pulmonary infection,the patients were divided into pulmonary infection group and non-pulmonary infection group.Parameters estimated were admission GCS,sex,age,history of smoking,time of coma,duration of mechanical ventilation,NICU length of stay.Patients in pulmonary infection group were analyzed on the distribution of pathogens and incidence of drug resistance.Results A total of 158 patients (67.5％) had pulmonary infection.Among them 60 cases (38.6％) were found to be co-infected including infection with two pathogens in 26 cases (16.5％),three pathogens in 19 cases (12.0％),and four and more pathogens in 16 cases (10.1％).Age and smoking increased the incidence of pulmonary infection (P ＜ 0.05).Time of coma,duration of mechanical ventilation,and NICU length of stay were prolonged in pulmonary infection group than in non-pulmonary infection group (P ＜ 0.05).A total of 219 strains of pathogens were isolated from the patients in pulmonary infection group.Specifically,there were 193 strains of gram negative bacteria (88.1％),13 strains of gram positive bacteria (5.9％),and 13 strains of fungi (5.9％).Gram negative were sensitive to amikacin,imipenem,cefoperazone/ sulbactam and ciprofloxacin.Staphylococcus aureus isolated were 100％ sensitive to vancomycin,linezolid and teicoplanin,and were completely penicillin resistant.Fungi were not resistant to voriconazole,itraconazole,ketoconazole,fluconazol,and amphotericin B.Conclusions High incidence of pulmonary infection is noted among the hemorrhagic brain injury patients in NICU,and the pathogens are diverse dominated by Gram negative bacteria.Incidence of multi-drug resistant pulmonary infection is high,indicating that the key point is to choose antibiotics rationally based on drug sensitivity test.

Objective:To understand the situation of drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis (short for drinking water fluorosis) in Huangzhong, Ping'an and Ledu districts of Qinghai Province and operation status of water improvement projects, and to evaluate the effect of control measures.Methods:In historical drinking water fluorosis villages of Huangzhong, Ping'an and Ledu districts of Qinghai Province in 2018, the status of water improvement, the operation of water improvement projects and the content of water fluoride were investigated; the dental fluorosis of 8-12 years old children in all investigated villages was checked; 3 villages from 3 districts were selected, X-ray examination for skeletal fluorosis and urinary fluoride detection of adults over 25 years old of age were performed.Results:Eight-two historical drinking water fluorosis villages in 3 districts were investigated and all the villages had water improvement projects, in addition, the water improvement projects were operating normally, and the water fluoride content ranged from 0.10 to 0.37 mg/L, which were in line with the drinking water fluoride content standard (< 1.2 mg/L). Totally 2 503 children aged 8-12 years old were examined, the detection rate of dental fluorosis was 6.03% (151/2 503), the index of dental fluorosis was 0.13, the epidemic intensity was negative; the detection rates of dental fluorosis in 3 districts were 6.24% (129/2 068), 4.05% (7/173), 5.73% (15/262), respectively, reaching the control standard (< 30%), and the detection rate of dental fluorosis in 81 villages was less than 30%; 198 adults over 25 years old were examined, the detection rate of skeletal fluorosis was 5.05% (10/198), the geometric mean of urinary fluoride was 0.81 mg/L, and skeletal fluorosis cases were mainly in the age group over 40 years old, all of them were mild cases.Conclusions:The fluoride content in drinking water and the detection rate of children's dental fluorosis are all up to the control standard, and the condition of skeletal fluorosis is significantly reduced after the implementation of water improvement measures in Huangzhong, Ping'an and Ledu districts. It can be seen that the prevention and control of drinking water fluorosis in Huangzhong, Ping'an and Ledu districts have achieved good results, but later management and condition monitoring of water improvement projects should be strengthened to prevent the disease from rebounding.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in peripheral blood for the outcomes in patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage.Methods Consecutive inpatients with intracerebral hemorrhage diagnosed with the head CT were entolled.The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) was used to evaluate the functional outcomes at 90 d,0-2 wvas defined as good outcome,3-6 were defined as poor outcome,and 6 was defined as death.Univariate analysis was used to compare the demographic characteristics,baseline data,imaging,and laboratory findings between the groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent correlation between NLR and the outcomes,and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis was performed to assess the predictive value of NLR for the outcomes.Results A total of 205 patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage were enrolled in the study,107 (52.2％) had poor outcome and 57 (27.8％) died.There were significant differences in age (P=0.038),Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores (P=0.001),National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores (P =0.001),neutrophil count (P =0.005),lymphocyte count (P =0.002),NLR (P =0.001),fasting blood glucose (P =0.012),hypersensitivity C-reactive protein (P=0.002),hematoma volume (P =0.005),and proportion of bleeding into the ventricles (P =0.002) between the poor outcome group and the good outcome group.There were significant differences in age (P =0.002),previous stroke (P =0.018),GCS scores (P =0.001),NIHSS scores (P =0.001),neutrophil count (P=0.008),lymphocyte count (P=0.001),NLR (P=0.001),fasting blood glucose (P=0.016),hematoma volume (P=0.001),and proportion of bleeding into ventricle (P=0.002) between the death group and the survival group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that NLR was an independent predictive factor for poor outcome (odds ratio [OR] 2.405,95％ confidence interval [CI] 1.613-3.587;P=0.001) and death (OR 2.268,95％ CI 1.532-3.358;P =0.001) after adjusting for confounders.The ROC curve analysis showed that NLR had a higher predictive value for poor outcome at 90 d (area under the ROC curve 0.703,95％ CI 0.632-0.774;P ＜ 0.001).When the cutoff value was 2.3,the sensitivity and specificity were 61.7％ and 72.4％,respectively.NLR also had a predictive value for death within 90 d (area under the ROC curve 0.706,95％ CI 0.629-0.786;P =0.003).When the cutoff value was 2.2,the sensitivity and specificity were 63.2％ and 72.6％,respectively.Conclusion NLR may have certain predict value for outcomes in patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage.

Objective To detect urinary bio-markers of hydroxyproline (HYP) and c-terminal telopeptide of collagen type Ⅱ (CTX-Ⅱ) among population from Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) regions in Qinghai Province,and to provide the scientific data for prevention and control of adult KBD.Methods According to the "Diagnosis of Kashin-Beck Disease" (WS/T 207-2010),using case-control study,120 KBD patients (males 55,females 65) and 89 healthy controls (males 41,females 48) in Qinghai KBD regions were divided into case group and control group.Morning urine samples were collected.HYP and CTX-Ⅱ contents were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),then these results were corrected with creatinine.All the data were analyzed by SPSS 17.0 software.Results There was no significant difference in the age of male and female between case group and control group (t =1.813,1.131,P ＞ 0.05).The medians of urinary HYP and CTX-Ⅱ contents among male patients were 74.91 μg/μmol Cr and 630.77 ng/μmol Cr,respectively,which were higher than those of control groups (51.38 μg/μ mol Cr,401.32 ng/μmol Cr,Z =3.068,3.246,P ＜ 0.01).The medians of urinary HYP and CTX-Ⅱ contents among female patients were 91.07 μg/μmol Cr and 637.17 ng/μmol Cr,respectively,compared with those of control groups (88.37μg/μmol Cr,546.47 ng/μmol Cr),there was no significant difference in HYP content (Z =0.273,P ＞ 0.05),however,the difference in CTX-Ⅱ content was statistically significant (Z =2.002,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The urinary HYP contents of male patients with KBD change significantly,while the degradation of type Ⅱ collagen in male and female patients increases,and CTX-Ⅱ could reflect the metabolic changes of collagen in KBD.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the changes of serum nitric oxide (NO) content in adult patients with Kaschin-Beck disease (KBD).Methods:Systematic retrieval was conducted on China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang Data, VIP Database, PubMed, Embase and other databases, to analyze the literatures published from the database establishment to March 31, 2019, on the changes of serum NO content of adult patients with KBD. Meta-analysis was performed using Revman 5.3 software, and mean difference ( MD) and 95% confidence interval ( CI) were calculated; sensitivity analysis was performed using fixed-effect model or random-effect model based on heterogeneity results; and publication bias was evaluated using funnel chart. Results:Totally 7 qualified literatures were included, including 358 cases in the adult KBD group and 305 cases in the control group. After the heterogeneity test, there was heterogeneity among the literatures (χ 2 = 188.07, I2 = 97%, P < 0.01), so a random-effect model was used for Meta-analysis. The NO content in the KBD group was significantly higher than that in the control group (MD = 44.29, 95% CI: 30.57 - 58.00), the difference was statistically significant ( Z = 6.33, P < 0.01). Sensitivity analysis showed that the results of this study were stable. The two sides of the funnel were basically symmetrical, suggesting that the possibility of publication bias was small. Conclusion:The serum level of NO content in adult patients with KBD is significantly increased.

Objective:To comprehensively evaluate the correlation between migraine and the risk of hemorrhagic stroke using Meta-analysis.Methods:The published observational studies on migraine and the risk of hemorrhagic stroke in PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane library, Chinese Biomedical Database, China Journal Full-text Database, Wanfang Database and VIP Database were retrieved by computers. The retrieval time limit was from the establishment of the databases to December 31, 2019. Two reviewers independently conducted the literature screening and data extraction, and evaluated the quality according to Newcastle Ottawa scale. Stata SE 12.1 software was used for Meta-analysis.Results:Six case-control studies and 7 cohort studies met the inclusion criteria, all of which were in English. The results of Meta-analysis showed that exposure to migraine increased the risk of hemorrhagic stroke (odds ratio [ OR] 1.47, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.23-1.76; P<0.001). Sensitivity analysis showed that the results were robust. Subgroup analysis showed that migraine with aura ( OR 1.38, 95% CI 1.05-1.81; P=0.019), migraine without aura ( OR 1.46, 95% CI 1.19-1.80; P<0.001), male ( OR 2.10, 95% CI 1.72-2.56; P<0.001) and female ( OR 1.53, 95% CI 1.22-1.92; P<0.001) migraine could increase the risk of hemorrhagic stroke. Conclusion:Regardless of the gender of patients and presence or absence of migraine aura, migraine can significantly increase the risk of hemorrhagic stroke.

Objective:To study the epidemic status of drinking tea type endemic fluorosis in Qinghai Province.Methods:In 2019, in counties (cities, districts, referred to as counties) that had the habit of drinking brick tea in 8 cities (prefectures) of Qinghai Province, epidemiological investigation of drinking tea type endemic fluorosis was carried out in villages. Ten households were randomly selected from each village, to investigate the demographic data of each household and the drinking situation of brick tea, residents' drinking water and brick tea samples were collected to determine the fluorine content, and calculate the daily per capita tea fluorine intake. At the same time, skeletal fluorosis was examined in all adults over 25 years old, and dental fluorosis was examined in all children aged 8 to 12 years old in survey sites. The content of fluorine in tea and water was detected by ion selective electrode method; the diagnosis of skeletal fluorosis was based on "Diagnostic Criteria for Endemic Skeletal Fluorosis" (WS 192-2008), the diagnosis of dental fluorosis was based on "Diagnosis of Dental Fluorosis" (WS/T 208-2011).Results:The mean (range) of fluorine of the 3 602 water samples was 0.31 (0.20 - 1.00) mg/L. The geometric mean (range) of fluorine of the 31 067 brick tea samples was 646 (40 - 2 295) mg/kg, the fluorine content of the brick tea ≤300 mg/kg accounted for 7.80% (2 422/31 067) of the total samples. The proportion of drinking Fu brick-tea was 89.97% (27 952/31 067); and the daily per capita tea fluorine intake was 1.93 mg, the daily per capita tea fluorine intake in Guoluo, Yushu and Hainan prefectures were higher than the health standard (3.50 mg). The detection rate of skeletal fluorosis in adults was 0.16% (2 357/1 484 907), Yushu Prefecture was the highest [29.23% (592/2 025)], followed by Guoluo Prefecture, which was 8.21% (771/9 393). The detection rate of dental fluorosis in children was 4.79% (8 076/168 623), Yushu Prefecture was the highest [32.61% (1 562/4 790)].Conclusion:Drinking tea type endemic fluorosis is prevalent in Qinghai Province, with obvious regional characteristics, covering a large population. The disease is relatively popular in Yushu Prefecture and Guoluo Prefecture.

Objective:To evaluate the water fluoride detection ability of county (city, district) level (referred to as the county-level) laboratories in Qinghai Province.Methods:During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period (2016 - 2020), 4, 4, 4, 43, 43 county-level laboratories in Qinghai Province were organized to participate in the national water fluoride external quality control assessment, and the assessment results were evaluated by Z-ratio scoring method.Results:The response rate of county-level laboratories was 86.05% (37/43) in 2019, and 100.00% in other years. The qualified rate of county-level laboratories was 100.00% from 2016 to 2018; in 2019 and 2020, the assessment was fully covered, and the qualified rate was 81.40% (35/43) and 95.35% (41/43), respectively. Compared with 2019, the response rate and qualified rate in 2020 increased significantly, and the differences were statistically significant (χ 2 = 6.450, 4.074, P < 0.05). In the past 5 years, two assessment samples│Z│ < 1 in each laboratory were the most common, but with two assessment samples 2≤│Z│ < 3 in some qualified laboratories. Conclusion:The consistency of water fluoride determination in Qinghai Province is not very ideal, and the detection ability of county-level laboratories still needs to be strengthened.

Objective:To observe and evaluate the effect of health education on drinking brick-tea type fluorosis in Zhiduo County, Qinghai Province, so as to provide basis for further formulating health education strategies.Methods:From April 2019 to April 2020, according to the historical prevalence of drinking brick-tea type fluorosis in Zhiduo County, Qinghai Province, 3 townships (towns) were selected to carry out the health education activities on drinking brick-tea type fluorosis for students of grade 4 - 6, village doctors, adults and monks in each township (town). We carried out a one-year publicity on the prevention and treatment of drinking brick-tea type fluorosis, distributed health education materials and organized health education activities. Before and after the intervention, we conducted a questionnaire survey on health education among the target population (grade 4 - 6 students, village doctors, adults and monks), to evaluate the awareness rate and behavior formation rate of fluorosis prevention and control, and to evaluate the intervention effect.Results:A total of 86 students of grade 4 - 6, 40 village doctors, 42 adults and 20 monks were investigated, after the intervention, the awareness rates of prevention and treatment of drinking brick-tea type fluorosis in grade 4 - 6 students, village doctors, adults and monks were 87.98% (227/258), 96.67% (116/120), 81.75% (103/126), 83.33% (50/60), respectively, which were significantly higher than those before the intervention [38.38% (76/198), 83.33% (100/120), 15.45% (19/123), 28.89% (13/45), P < 0.05]. After the intervention, the behavior formation rates of prevention and treatment of the drinking brick-tea type fluorosis in grade 4 - 6 students, village doctors, adults and monks were 74.42% (128/172), 72.50% (58/80), 52.38% (44/84), 60.00% (24/40), respectively, which were significantly higher than those before the intervention [14.39% (19/132), 38.75% (31/80), 3.66% (3/82), 0(0/28), P < 0.05]. Conclusion:The comprehensive intervention measures based on health education can significantly improve the knowledge of local residents, and improve their bad drinking habits of drinking tea, which is of great significance to the prevention and treatment of drinking brick-tea type fluorosis.
