Objective To study the change tendency of air pollutants in Shenzhen, China in 2002-2005, further, to explore the relationship between disease spectrum and air pollution. Methods The daily mean concentration of SO2, NO2 and PM10 in 2002-2005 in eight environmental monitoring sites were determined according to Ambient Air Quality Standard. Results Air concentrations of SO2, NO2 and PM10 increased yearly in 2002-2004, from 0.018 3 mg/m3 to 0.023 4 mg/m3, 0.050 1 mg/m3 to 0.072 5 mg/m3, 0.061 0 mg/m3 to 0.075 7 mg/m3, respectively, however, the concentrations of the three indexes decreased in 2005. In the past four yeas, average levels of SO2 were under the limit of grade 2 of GB3095-1996, as for PM10, under the limit of grade 2, and most of the concentrations of NO2 were under the limit of grade 3, but in the other two monitoring sites, the concentrations of NO2 in 2004 exceeded the limit of grade 3. The year average concentrations of SO2, NO2 and PM10 in 2002-2005 in the outer region were higher compared with those in the inner region of the special economic zone, except the level of NO2 in 2002. As for the quarter average concentrations of SO2, NO2 and PM10, 1st and 4th were higher compared with 2nd and 3rd. Conclusion The air quality in Shenzhen is better in China, however, more attention should be paid to the pollution of nitrogen oxides and inhalable particle matters.

Objective To evaluate the role of membrane-bound complement regulatory protein expression in spinal cord dorsal horn in the development of neuropathic pain (NP) in rats.Methods Forty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 200-250 g,in which intrathecal catheters were successfully implanted without complications,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =12 each):sham operation group (group S),group NP,normal saline group (group NS) and minocycline group (group M).NP was induced by chronic constrictive injury of the sciatic nerve in NP,NS and M groups.Minocycline 50 μg was injected intrathecally once a day for 7 consecutive days starting from 1 day before ligation of the sciatic nerve in M group,while the equal volume of normal saline was given in stead of minocycline in NS group.Mechanical pain threshold and thermal pain threshold were measured at 1 day before ligation of the sciatic nerve (baseline,T0) and 1,3,7 days after ligation of the sciatic nerve (T1-3).Then the rats were sacrificed at T3 and the lumbar segment (L4,5) of spinal cord was removed for determination of the expression of CD46,CD55,CD59 protein and mRNA in the dorsal horn of spinal cord by Western-blot and RT-PCR,respectively.Results Compared with S group,mechanical pain threshold and thermal pain threshold were significantly decreased at T1-3 and the expression of CD46,CD55 and CD59 protein and RNA was down-regulated at T3 in NP,NS and M groups (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with groups NS and NP,mechanical pain threshold and thermal pain threshold were significantly increased at T2.3 and the expression of CD46,CD55 and CD59 protein and RNA was up-regulated at T3 in M group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The down-regulated expression of membrane-bound complement regulatory proteins in spinal cord dorsal horn and abnormal activation of the complement are involved in the development of NP in rats.

Objective HGF and its receptor ( c-met) are principal mediators of mesenchymal-epithelial interac-tion in several different systems.Moreover, hair follicle is a model of mesenchymal-epithelial interaction.The aim of this study was to explore whether HGF/c-met signal plays a role in the control of hair follicle growth cycle.Methods To ex-amine the localization of HGF/c-met in anagen, catagen and telogen in the hair follicle of ICR mice.Results HGF was mainly located in the dermal papilla and sebaceous gland, and c-Met in the hair matrix, root sheath and epidermis.Both HGF and c-met expressions peaked during anagen, not found in catagen, and increased during telogen-anagen phase.Con-clusions Our results demonstrate a regulatory role of HGF and c-met in the control of hair follicle growth in ICR mice.

Objective: To evaluate the intervention effects of response to heatwave in communities of four cities, China. Methods: Baseline survey on heatwave and climate change related knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) was conducted in the pilot communities in Harbin, Nanjing, Shenzhen and Chongqing, using face-to-face questionnaire interview in November, 2011 to November, 2013. Finally, 1 604 residents were interviewed. Intervention measures were implemented in summers of 2013 and 2014, including delivering early warning information of heatwave health risk and launching health education and promotion. The second survey was conducted in same communities using the same questionnaire and sampling method as baseline survey in November, 2014, and 1 640 residents were interviewed. The Chi-square test was used to compare the demographic characteristics and KAP of community residents between before and after intervention, and the factors that affected the intervention effect were selected by logistic multiple stepwise regression model. Results: The age of the residents interviewed before and after intervention was (46.4 ± 15.5) years and (45.0 ± 15.9) years, respectively. Overall, the residents' awareness rates of heatwave before and after intervention were 70.5% (1 131/1 604) and 82.9% (1 359/1 640) (χ²=69.40, P<0.001). The rate of residents who had wished to receive early warning information increased 6.3% (χ²=41.11, P<0.001), which reached 94.6% (1 551/1 604) after intervention from 88.3% (1 416/1 604) in baseline survey. Both heatwave health risk early warning and health education had big impacts to residents. There were 92.7% (1 105 residents) among the 1 192 residents who had received the early warning information arrange work and rest time according to the early warning information and 93.0% (1 231 residents) among the 1 323 residents who knew about health education activities being conducted in community thought that the community health education activities had made active role in protecting health from heatwaves. After a series of intervention, male had a effect on attitude about hot wave than female in Nanjing and Chongqing, OR (95%CI) were 1.48(1.02-2.16) and 1.45 (1.18-2.05) , respectively; compared with subjects below primary school education, people with college degree or above had higer KAP in all cities (ORs range from 1.18 to 2.05), P<0.05; regular physical exercise (ORs range from 1.39 to 2.70) also had profound impacts on KAP in all cities (P<0.05). Conclusion s Early warning and health education were effective measures to enhance residents' response capacity to climate change.

Objective To assess the association between the concentration of the air pollutant PM2.5 and daily outpatient visits for respiratory disease. Methods All records of daily outpatient visits to three hospitals in Shenzhen from January 1 to December 31, 2013 were collected. Daily air pollution monitoring and meteorology data from the same period were also collected in Shenzhen. The data were analyzed using a semiparametric generalized additive model with Poisson distribution of time series analysis controlling for long-term and seasonal trends, flu, DOW, public holidays, and meteorological factors. The excess risk (ER) of respiratory disease and its 95%CI value were calculated, along with the incremental increase of 10 μg/m3 in PM2.5 concentration. Results Number of outpatient visits for respiratory diseases totaled 1 428 672 (daily range:1 790-5 228). The annual average PM2.5 concentration was 40.2μg/m3 (daily range:7.2-137.1μg/m3). The lag1 factor had the most significant impact on the lag effect. We estimated that a 10 μg/m3 increase in day-before PM2.5 concentration was associated with a 1.809% (95% CI:1.709%-1.909%) ER of visits for respiratory disease. After controlling for other pollutants (NO2, CO, and O3), the effect remained stable. When NO2, CO, and O3 were introduced separately, for every 10μg/m3 rise in PM2.5 concentration, the excess risk of daily outpatient visits for respiratory disease was 1.814% (95% CI:1.706%-1.923%), 2.780% (95% CI: 2.668%-2.892%), and 1.513% (95% CI: 1.403%-1.624%), respectively. With simultaneous control of NO2 and O3, NO2 and CO, and CO and O3, for every 10μg/m3 rise in PM2.5 concentration, the excess risk of respiratory disease was 1.369% (95% CI: 1.242%-1.497%), 2.709% (95% CI: 2.590%- 2.828% ), and 2.577% (95% CI: 2.452%- 2.702% ), respectively. With simultaneous control of NO2, CO, and O3, for every 10μg/m3 rise in PM2.5 concentration, the excess risk of respiratory disease was 2.370% (95% CI: 2.231%-2.509%). Conclusions PM2.5 can increase the risk of outpatient visits for respiratory disease in Shenzhen.

Objective:To introduce the method of using anal fistula endoscope to treat chronic sinus tract leakage at rectal anastomosis site.Methods:We used anal fistula endoscopy to treat a patient with chronic sinus tract leakage after radical resection of rectal cancer, mainly including the following 5 steps: (1) establishing a water injection circulation system through the anus; (2) scraping off purulent coating and mucosa on the surface of the sinus tract with the brush; (3) hemostasis and removal of necrotic tissue with electrocoagulation rods; (4) filling the sinus tract with bioprotein gel; (5) compressing the sinus tract with transanal drainage tube.Results:The patient is a 70 year old male with rectal cancer. After undergoing 3D laparoscopic assisted radical resection of rectal cancer via abdominal anterior resection (Dixon's procedure) and diverting ileostomy surgery for more than 3 months, leakage of the rectal anastomosis was found through colonoscopy and anal iodine water contrast imaging .The patient started eating and flowing juice 6 hours after surgery, got out of bed 24 hours after surgery, and was discharged 48 hours after the removal of the anal canal. Three months after surgery, colonoscopy and transanal iodine hydrography showed that the sinus repair was intact. The diverting ileostomy was reduced 4 months after surgery.Conclusion:Anal fistula endoscope is safe and feasible for the treatment of chronic sinus tract anastomotic leakage in selected patients.
