Objective To understand the current situation of knowledge on healthy life style among researchers.Data on the knowledge of healthy life style including healthy behavior,general status on health,physical activity and the use of sports facilities were gathered.In 2006,same questionnaire was used to compare with the previous data.Results The percentage of overall knowledge on health among permanent percentage of people who were aware of knowledge on"no-smoking"."intake less salt","maintaining healthy diet program"and"insisting on exercise"were 72.97%,93.11%,86.58% and 87.25% respectively in 2006,higher than 67.38%,89.74%,82.12% and 82.78% during the baseline(P<0.01)study in the previous years.The percentage of correct answer about the healthy life style as diet and prevention of common diseases was higher among the permanent residents than those of temporary residents in 2006(P<0.05).The sources of health-related knowledge were mainly from media,newspapers and through health education programs carried out in the community.Conclusion The Beijing municipal government and the community residential committees attached great importance to providing knowledge on

OBJECTIVETo study the clinical effect of squeezing and clapping bone setting manipulation in treating the postpartum pubis symphysis separation.
METHODSFrom June 2015 to March 2017, 80 patients with postpartum pubic symphysis separation were randomly divided into treatment group and control group, 40 patients in each group. In treatment group, the patients' reproductive age ranged from 26 to 40 years old with an average of (30.61±5.94) years old and the neonatal weight ranged from 3.2 to 4.52 kg with an average of (3.59±0.13) kg. In control group, patients' reproductive age ranged from 22 to 37 years old with an average age of (27.51±4.57) years old and the neonatal weight ranged from 3 to 5.8 kg with an average of (3.81±0.63) kg. The patients in the treatment group were treated with the squeezing and clapping manipulation, once a week for 3 weeks. The patients in the control group were treated with pelvic bandage immobilization, and the immobilization of the pelvis was not less than 8 hours per day, 3 weeks for 1 course. The VAS pain score, Oswestry dysfunction index (ODI) and separation distance of pubis were clinical observed and evaluated on the first day of treatment, 1, 2, 3 weeks and 1 months after treatment.
RESULTSThe pubic symphysis VAS score was compared with that before treatment, in the treatment group, the difference was statistically significant at 1 week(0.013); the difference was statistically significant in the control group for 1 month (0.042). The two groups were less than those of the control group after treatment (<0.05). The ODI score was compared with that before the treatment, in the treatment group, the difference was statistically significant at 1 week (0.009), the difference was statistically significant in the control group for 1 month(0.013), the two groups were less than those before treatment(<0.05). The pubic symphysis distance was compared with that before treatment, the treatment group decreased significantly after treatment (<0.05), there was no significant difference in the control group after treatment (>0.05), the two groups were compared, the difference was statistically significant at first weeks(0.042) and third weeks (0.005).
CONCLUSIONSThe "squeezing and clapping" manipulation can quickly restore the distance between pubic symphysis separation, relieve local pain and improve lumbosacral function, and is better than pelvic bandage fixation treatment.

OBJECTIVETo study CXCR3 and CCR5 chemokine receptor expression in spleens of patients with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and its clinical significance.
METHODSThe splenectomy specimens from 10 ITP patients (ITP group) and 8 patients with traumatic splenic rupture (normal control group) were studied. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to study the positive rate of CXCR3 and CCR5. Western blot was performed to detect CXCR3 and CCR5 protein expression, while real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was conducted to analyze their mRNA expression.
RESULTSThe positive rate of CXCR3 and CCR5 were both higher in ITP group (90% and 100%, respectively) than those in control group (75% and 87.5%, respectively)(P < 0.05). The differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Protein and mRNA level of CXCR3 in ITP group were 3.0 and 3.5 times as high as those in control group, respectively. Those of CCR5 in ITP group were 1.2 and 1.7 times as high as those in control group, respectively.
CONCLUSIONHigh expression of CXCR3 and CCR5 may play a part in the splenic immune disorders in patients with ITP.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the differences in the factors associated with endometriosis between Chinese and British patients.
METHODS:
This case-control study was conducted in 387 patients with endometriosis and 199 non-endometriosis patients admitted to John Radcliffe Hospital (Oxford, UK) and in 101 patients with endometriosis and 50 non-endometriosis patients admitted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine. The clinical data including height, weight, body mass index, marital status, employment, menstruation, fertility, and operation reasons were collected via a standardized WERF EPHect questionnaire.
RESULTS:
Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that body mass index, surgery for dysmenorrhea, history of pregnancy, counts of previous surgeries for endometriosis and status of employment were all significantly associated with endometriosis in the UK (P < 0.05), while a history of dysmenorrhea was significantly correlated with endometriosis in Chinese patients (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
Dysmenorrhea may be the most important common factor associated with endometriosis in China and the UK, but the other factors contributing to endometriosis may differ between these two countries.
