Objective To assess endothelial function before and after pharmacological cardioversion for acute onset of atrial fibrillation(AF)in the patients with hypertension.Methods 37 consecutive hypertensive patients with acute AF were investigated,in whom sinus rhythm was restored by pharmacological cardioversion within 48 hours of arrhythmia onset without anticoagulant treatment.Of these 37 patients,17 cases treated with ACEI/ARB drugs were assigned to acute AF group 1,20 cases without using ACEI/ARB drugs were assigned to acute AF group 2.20 hypertensive patients with sinus rhythm were included as control group.Plasma markers of endothelial damage/dysfunction [von Willebrand factor(vWF),endothelin(ET)and nitric oxide(NO)] and E-selectin(E-sel,an index of endothelial activation)were measured in acute AF at baseline(pre-cardioversion)and on days 1,7,14,and 30 after cardioversion.The detected results were compared with the levels of controls.Results Plasma concentrations of ET,vWF and E-sel in acute AF group were significantly higher than those of control group;plasma level of NO in acute AF group was significantly lower compared to that of control group.After cardioversion,the plasma levels of ET decreased gradually to the levels of controls by the 7th day of sustaining sinus rhythm in acute AF group 1 and 30th day in acute AF group 2,and the plasma levels of vWF decreased to approach that of controls by the 14th day post-cardioversion in acute AF group 1 and 30th day in acute AF group 2.The NO level gradually increased to that of controls by the 14th day of sustaining sinus rhythm in acute AF group 1 and 30th day in acute AF group 2.Plasma level of E-sel returned to normal by the 7th day in the both groups of acute AF.Conclusion There were evidences of endothelial damage or dysfunction at acute onset of AF among the patients with hypertension,which persisted up to 30 days after cardioversion,and the use of ACEI/ARB might improve the normalization of endothelial function after cardioversion.

Community Health Committee (CHC), an innovative public participation mechanism of grassroots health service management, established a bottom-up communication channel between the public and government to communicate health related problems and opinions, and set up a grassroots community health services supervision system. The rural residents were endowed with opportunities to take part in grassroots health care decision making and management by CHC. CHC changed the top-down model of traditional health management, improved the grassroots medical services, and increased governance capability of local government We introduced the CHC practice in Zhejiang project counties, exhibited the primary effects and experience of this pilot program, and explored new mechanism and model for rural community residents to participate in grassroots health service management

This paper explores the use of wavelet packet analysis to extract features from spontaneous electroencephalogram (EEG) during three different mental tasks. Artifact-free EEG segments are transformed to multi-scale representations by dyadic wavelet packet decomposition channel by channel. Their feature vectors formed by energy values of different sub-spaces EEG components are used as inputs of a radial basis function network to test the classification accuracies of three task pairs. The results indicate that the classification accuracies of the wavelet packet analysis method are significantly better than those of autoregressive model method. Wavelet packet analysis would be a promising method to extract features from EEG signals.

OBJECTIVEThrough comparative study on pulmonary function damage of coke oven workers exposed to coke oven emissions with the same group before and after five years, and further explore the relationship between the coke oven emissions and injury in pulmonary function of coke oven worker.
METHODSSelect a coking plant in Shanxi 165 coke oven workers (exposed group) and 52 auxiliary workers (control group) for the study, using a uniform questionnaire to collect workers' personal information. Fixed workplace air samples collected periodically. Air samples of benzo (a) pyrene concentrations was measured by high pressure liquid chromatograph. Pulmonary function of research object was measured by portable spirometer respectively in 2009 and 2013, and comparative analysis on it.
RESULTSThe concentration of B(a)P was no significant difference in the same area between 5 years in 2009-2013. Compared with 2009, 2013 control workers lung function index and the abnormal rate had no significant difference (P > 0.05). But FVC%, FEV1.0%, MVV%, VC% and FEF25% of exposed workers in 2013 was significantly lower than in 2009, FVC%, FEV1.0%, VC% and FEF25% pulmonary dysfunction rate in 2013 was also significantly higher than in 2009, difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Workers emerging pulmonary function abnormalities mainly distributed in furnace roof and side. furnace roof group FVC%, FEV1.0%, VC% additional abnormal number (rate) was significantly higher than furnace floor and the control group (P < 0.05), and furnace side groop was significantly higher than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that after 5 years FVC%, FEV1% and VC% of abnormal lung function emerging adjusted OR of furnace roof workers were 7.939, 5.966 and 4.956. For abnormal of FVC%, FEV1%, VC% and MVV%, the contacting coke seniority is a risk factor. There is a positive interaction between contacting coke seniority and furnace roof (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONCoke oven workers lung function damage associated with exposureing to coke oven emissions, coke oven emissions exposure level and exposure time are the main factors of coke oven workers in lung function damage, there is a positive interaction between the two factors.

OBJECTIVEIn this study, we investigate the relationship between HSP70 and lung function injury. To study on the feasibility of HSP70 genes polymorphisms as biological marker of the damage of pulmonary dysfunction susceptibility.
METHODS183 cock-oven workers were selected as exposure groups and 143 workers unexposed workers were selected as control groups. We investigated their general information with uniform questionnaire. Pulmonary dysfunction indicators were determined using portable spirometer. HSP70-1 G190C, HSP70-2 A1267G, HSP70- hom T2437C genotypes were analyzed by using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique. The haplotypes were calculated using PHASE 2.0 software.
RESULTSVC%, FVC%, MVV%, FEV(1.0%) in exposed group were lower than in non-exposure group, the difference were significantly (P < 0.05). VC%, FVC%, MVV%, FEV1.0% in exposed group with HSP70-1, HSP70-2, HSP70-hom genotypes were lower than in non-exposure group (P < 0.05); FVC% in exposed group with HSP70-hom T/C genotypes were lower than that with HSP70-hom T/T genotypes, MVV% were lower than that with HSP70-hom T/T, C/C genotypes. There's no difference in pulmonary dysfunction index of HSP70-1, HSP70-2 genotypes (P>0.05), but significant difference between the exposed group with HSP70-1, HSP70-hom genotypes; The adjust OR (95%CI) of exposed group with HSP70-1 G/C genotypes and HSP70-homT/C genotypes were 2.516 (1.012 ∼6.252) and 2.284 (1.033∼5.053). Exposed group with CGT haplotype pulmonary dysfunction were significantly higher than in non-exposure group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONCoke oven exposure may increase pulmonary dysfunction injury, Coke oven workers who have the HSP70-1 G/C genotypes, HSP70-hom T/C genotypes and CGT haplotypes may increase the susceptibility of pulmonary dysfunction. There must be some relationship between HSP70-1, HSP70-hom gene polymorphisms and lung function injury of Cock-oven Workers.
