Objective To observe the effect of bacillus bifidus preparation on the prevention of gastrointestinal side effects in children with acute lymphocyte leukemia (ALL) during high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) chemotherapy.Methods One hundred and fifty-two ALL children were randomly assigned into 2 groups according to the suggestion of diagnosis and treatment of ALL in childhood.There were 76 patients in each group.In the treatment group,there were 46 male and 30 female,aged 2 to 13 years old (the median age was 8 years).While in the control group,there were 41 male and 35 female (the median age was 8.2 years).They were treated with the same chemotherapy schedule (HD-MTX),supportive therapies and infection preventive measures.ALL children in the treatment group were additionally given the bacillus bifidus preparation (one tablet for 2 to 6 years old,and two tablets for 7 to 15 years old,3 times daily),if their WBC was more than 2.0?109 L-1.Those in the control group were given vitamin B complex tablets (one tablet for 2 to 6 years old and two tablets for 7 to 15 years old,3 times daily).Results ALL children in treatment group had less diarrhea,abdominal pain,nausea and vomiting,or liver function impairment induced by chemotherapy than those in control group.However,the bacillus bifidus preparation had no significant effects on the symptoms of fever and oral mucosal erosions in the period of chemotherapy.Conclusion The bacillus bifidus preparation is clinically useful for the prevention of gastrointestinal side effects associated with HD-MTX chemotherapy.

Objective To analyze the tendency of road traffic injuries and explore its main influencing factors in China from 1997 to 2016, so as to provide references for decision-making of prevention and control. Methods Data was collected from national data website. Annual percent change (APC) and average annual percent change (AAPC) were calculated and trend tests were performed by Joinpoint Regression Program 4.6.0.0. Results The overall trend of the indexes was basically the same, reaching the highest record in 2002. The following downward tendency was different and tended to level off after 2009. However, the forecast showed that the fatality of road traffic accidents would increase slightly in recent years. For different road traffic modes, only the average annual percent change of motor vehicle injuries statistically descended (AAPC=-1.83, Z=-2.23, P=0.026). The average annual decreases of non-motor vehicle deaths were statistically significant (AAPC=-1.98, Z=-2.47, P=0.014), and the number of injured showed a notable upward trend instead (AAPC=3.95, Z=5.16, P<0.001). The indexes of walking and riding were declined markedly (AAPC≥7.90, P<0.001). Conclusions The status of walking and riding had been improved significantly, but motor vehicles injuries were still the main traffic mode causing road traffic injuries. The safety situation of non-motor vehicles was increasingly serious. Adopting legal compulsory measures and other intervention to routine systematic management was quite necessary.

The paper is aimed to establish a method of residue analysis for thiamethoxam and to study its degradation dynamic and final residue and its standard of safe application of thiamethoxam on Lonicera japonica. Samples extracted with methanol by ultrasonication were purified with dichloromethane by liquid-liquid extraction and SPE column and analysed by HPLC-UV. The results showed that average rate was 84.91%-94.44% and RSD 1.74%-4.96% with addition of thiamethoxam in respectively diverse concentration, which meets inspection requirement of pesticide residue. Two kinds of dosages of thiamethoxam were treated- varying from recommended dosage (90 g x hm(-2)) to high dosage (135 g x hm(-2)), Results of two years test showed that thiamethoxam was degraded more than 90% seven days after application and the half - life period of thiamethoxam was 1.54-1.66 d. The digestion rate of thiamethoxam was fast in the L. japonica. The recommended MRL of thiamethoxam in the L. japonica is 0.1 mg x kg(-1), the dosage of 25% thiamethoxam WDG from 90-135 g x hm(-2) is sprayed less than three times a year on L. japonica and 14 days is proposed for the safety interval of the last pesticide application's and harvest's date.
