Objective To evaluate the effects of different rates of remifentanil infusion on cardiovascular response to tracheal intubation in older patients. Methods Thirty ASA Ⅰ-Ⅲ patients aged 65-75 yrs weighing 50-80 kg scheduled for elective abdominal operation were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 10 each) according to the remifentanil infusion rate: group A 0.05 ?g?kg-1?min-1; group B 0.1 ?g?kg-1?min-1 and group C 0.15 ?g ?kg-1?min-1. The patients were premedicated with intramuscular phenobarbital 0.1 g and atropine 0.5 mg. Radial artery and subclavian vein were cannulated for BP and CVP monitoring and blood sampling. ECG, BP, HR and SpO2 were monitored during anesthesia. After 10 min stabilization induction of anesthesia was commenced with remifentanil infusion for 10 min. Midazolam 0.1 mg?kg-1 was then given Ⅳ. Succinylcholine 1.5 mg?kg-1 was given to facilitate intubation after the patients lost consciousness. BP and HR were recorded immediately before induction of anesthesia (T0, baseline), immediately after intubation (T1 ) and at 2, 5 and 10 min after intubation (T2 ,T3 ,T4 ) . Cardiovascular intubation response was defined as increase in SP or HR by 15% of the baseline value within 2 min after intubation. Blood samples were taken at T0-4 for determination of plasma concentration of norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine (E) by HPLC. Side effects such as chest wall rigidity and hypotension were also recorded. Results The cardiovascular intubation response rate was significantly higher in group A (80%) than in group B (10% ) and C (10% ) . The incidence of side effects was significantly higher in group C (70% ) than in group B (20%) and A. Plasma NE and E concentrations were significantly increased after intubation in group A (at T2-4) and B (at T2,3) as compared with baseline values at T0; while in group C only plasma NE concentration was significantly increased at T2 and T3 and there was no significant change in plasma E concentration after intubation. The plasma NE and E concentrations were significantly higher in group A (T2-4) and B (T2,3) than in group C. Conclusion The appropriate infusion rate of remifentanil for tracheal intubation is 0.10 ?g?kg-1 ?min-1 in older patients.

To investigate the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) on rabies among a mass of the exposed population in Beijing so as to provide scientific evidence for development of measures on the prevention and protection of rabies, the descriptive studies were employed, in which patients were interviewed face to face with a standard questionnaire in hospital or the center for disease control and prevention (CDC), including history of exposure, knowledge on rabies, post-exposure treatment etc. Of 478 respondents, 76% of them were bitten on the upper limbs with the exposure proportions in category Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ of 24%, 70% and 6% respectively. The proportions of awareness of knowledge in rabies before biting, its prevention, the correct measure to treat their wounds themselves, rabies vaccine inoculation, and injections with rabies antiserum constituted in 82%, 55%, 59%, 99% and 22% respectively. Result of this investigation indicates that most of the people investigated had a lower awareness of knowledge on rabies, the correct measures to treat rabies after biting as well as the measures to prevent rabies, suggesting that community-based prevention and control measures should be emphasized, especially targeting the population with high risk and the heath education on rabies should performed promptly by several governmental departments.

To analyze features of the rabies epidemic in China between 2007 and 2011,identify factors influencing the epidemic and to provide a scientific basis for further control and prevention of rabies,Descriptive epidemiological methods and statistical analysis was used on data collected from the National Disease Reporting Information System between 2007 to 2011 and the National Active Surveillance System between 2007 and 2010.Our analysis shows that while the number of human rabies cases decreased year by year,the number of districts reporting cases did not show significant change.The situations in Guangdong,Guangxi,Guizhou and Hunan provinces clearly improved over the period but they remain provinces with high-incidence,and consequently influence the epidemic situation of surrounding provinces and possibly the whole country.Summer and autumn were high-incidence seasons.Farmers,students and pre-school children represent the high-risk populations,and rates of cases in farmers increased,those for students decreased,and pre-school children remained unchanged.Provinces with active surveillance programs reported a total of 2346 individual cases,of which 88.53% were associated with canines.Postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) of rabies cases was not significantly improved,whereas PEP in post-exposure population was good.In rural regions of China,canine density was reduced somewhat,and the immunization rate increased slightly.Finally we show that while the epidemic decreased 2007 to 2011 in China,cases continued to be diffused in certain regions.Lack of standardization of PEP on rabies cases was the main reason of morbidity.The high density and low immunization of dog in rural areas and the defective situation of PEP are still continuous occurrences in China and remain a cause for concern.

Methods:
An open-label, multicenter, phase 3 clinical trial study was conducted in mainland China, Taiwan, and South Korea. Adult patients with compensated cirrhosis (Metavir score =F4) who were newly diagnosed and treated for hepatitis C virus genotype 1b infection with ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir combined with ribavirin for 12 weeks were included. Assessed SVR rate of patients obtained at 12 and 24 weeks after drug withdrawal. Efficacy and safety were evaluated in patients who received at least one time study drugs.
Results:
A total of 63 patients from mainland China were enrolled, 62 of whom (98.4%) had a baseline Child-Pugh score of 5 points. The overall rate of SVR12 and SVR24 in patients was 100% (95% CI: 94.3% to 100.0%). Most of the adverse events that occurred were mild. The incidence of common (≥10%) adverse events and laboratory abnormalities included elevated total bilirubin (36.5%), weakness (19.0%), elevated unconjugated bilirubin (19.0%) and conjugated bilirubin (17.5%), and anemia (14.3%). Three cases (4.8%) of patients experienced Grade ≥ 3 adverse events that were considered by the investigators to be unrelated to the study drug. None patients had adverse events leading to premature drug withdrawal.
Conclusion
Mainland Chinese patients with chronic HCV genotype 1b infection and compensated cirrhosis who were treated with OBV/PTV/r plus DSV combined with RBV for 12 weeks achieved 100 % SVR at 12 and 24 weeks after drug withdrawal. Tolerability and safety were good, and majority of adverse events were mild.

BACKGROUNDFirst generation drug-eluting stents (DES) were associated with a high incidence of late stent thrombosis (ST), mainly due to delayed healing and re-endothelization by the durable polymer coating. This study sought to assess the safety and efficacy of the Nano polymer-free sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) in the treatment of patients with de novo coronary artery lesions.
METHODSThe Nano trial is the first randomized trial designed to compare the safety and efficacy of the Nano polymer-free SES and Partner durable-polymer SES (Lepu Medical Technology, Beijing, China) in the treatment of patients with de novo native coronary lesions. The primary endpoint was in-stent late lumen loss (LLL) at 9-month follow-up. The secondary endpoint was major adverse cardiac events (MACE), a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction or target lesion revascularization.
RESULTSA total of 291 patients (Nano group: n = 143, Partner group: n = 148) were enrolled in this trial from 19 Chinese centers. The Nano polymer-free SES was non-inferior to the Partner durable-polymer DES at the primary endpoint of 9 months (P < 0.001). The 9-month in-segment LLL of the polymer-free Nano SES was comparable to the Partner SES (0.34 ± 0.42) mm vs. (0.30 ± 0.48) mm, P = 0.21). The incidence of MACE in the Nano group were 7.6% compared to the Partner group of 5.9% (P = 0.75) at 2 years follow-up. The frequency of cardiac death and stent thrombosis was low for both Nano and Partner SES (0.8% vs. 0.7%, 0.8% vs. 1.5%, both P = 1.00).
CONCLUSIONSIn this multicenter randomized Nano trial, the Nano polymer-free SES showed similar safety and efficacy compared with the Partner SES in the treatment of patients with de novo coronary artery lesions. Trials in patients with complex lesions and longer term follow-up are necessary to confirm the clinical performance of this novel Nano polymer-free SES.
