BACKGROUND:No studies currently focus on the measurement of daily water loss under certain physical activity level continuously and precisely.
OBJECTIVE:To provide evidence for daily water requirement in Chinese young men based on the measurement of the daily water loss in Chinese young men under moderate physical activity.
METHODS:Twenty male subjects were enroled, and 23-hour whole-body sweat loss and urine output were measured using high-precision body weighting scale in whole-room indirect calorimeter. The results were converted to daily (24-hour) water requirement to determine the daily water requirement. Daily whole-body sweat loss per unit body weight, daily whole-body sweat loss per unit fat free mass and daily whole-body sweat loss per unit surface area were calculated.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In Chinese young men, daily water loss was (3 339.7±509.9) g, daily urine output was (1 982.9±449.5) g and daily whole-body sweat loss was (1 356.7±215.6) g. There was a linear correlation between water intake and water loss (r=0.616,P < 0.05). Daily whole-body sweat loss per unit body weight was (21.0±3.6) g/kg, daily whole-body sweat loss per unit fat free mass was (25.8±3.9) g/kg and daily whole-body sweat loss per unit surface area was (799.4±129.4) g/m2. Daily water requirement of Chinese young men under moderate physical activity is approximately 3 340g, and moreover, water loss increases with the increase of water intake.

Objective:To compare the quantitative parameters of myocardial blood flow based on SPECT imaging and those determined by PET imaging in coronary microvascular disease (CMVD) animal models, in order to clarify the accuracy and feasibility of SPECT quantitative analysis in CMVD.Methods:Seven Saanen milk goats (either male or female; (20±5) kg), were selected for establishing CMVD animal models by microsphere embolization. Dynamic myocardial perfusion imaging (DMPI) with one-day method of resting + ATP stress 99Tc m-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) SPECT was performed before and after the modeling, respectively. One-day method of resting + ATP stress 13N-ammonia PET DMPI was performed after the modeling. The quantitative parameters determined by SPECT and PET after the modeling, including stress myocardial blood flow (SMBF), resting myocardial blood flow (RMBF) and myocardial flow reserve (MFR), were compared by paired t test. Parameters based on SPECT after modeling were compared with those of baseline levels. Bland-Altman analysis was applied to access the agreement between SPECT and PET. Results:Four of the seven experimental goats were fully imaged. The RMBF(ml·g -1·min -1; 1.52±0.27 vs 1.29±0.20), SMBF(ml·g -1·min -1; 0.74±0.19 vs 0.99±0.26), and MFR (0.53±0.16 vs 0.76±0.10) of the left ventricle (global) obtained by SPECT and PET in CMVD models were not significantly different ( t values: 3.121, 1.195, 1.930, all P>0.05). Among left anterior descending branch (LAD), left circumflex (LCX) and right coronary artery (RCA), the RMBF, SMBF and MFR values quantified by SPECT and PET were neither statistically significant ( t values: 0.182-2.734, all P>0.05). Bland-Altman analysis showed the quantitative parameters measured by SPECT and PET DMPI in left ventricle, LAD, LCX, RCA had a good consistency. The difference between the two methods for determining RMBF was up to 0.63 ml·g -1·min -1, and that of SMBF was up to 0.66 ml·g -1·min -1. All points are within the 95% confidence limit; MFR differs at most by 0.56, and 14/16 points were within 95% confidence limit. The RMBF (ml·g -1·min -1) of left ventricle measured by SPECT after modeling was not significantly different from that before modeling (1.52±0.27 vs 1.57±0.36; t=0.166, P>0.05); the SMBF (ml·g -1·min -1) and MFR after modeling were significantly lower than those before modeling (0.74±0.19 vs 2.34±0.89, 0.53±0.16 vs 1.39±0.31, t values: 3.836, 6.309, both P<0.05). Similar results were found when comparing the parameters of LAD/LCX/RCA after modeling with those before modeling (RMBF t values: 0.191, 0.235, 0.195, all P>0.05; SMBF/MFR t values: 0.411-19.911, all P<0.05). Conclusion:The blood flow quantitative parameters measured by SPECT imaging have a good consistency with those based on PET imaging, and the myocardial blood flow quantitative analysis of SPECT can evaluate the blood flow perfusion of CMVD.

Objective:
To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and its trends of other infectious diarrhea diseases in infants in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
Methods:
Statistical analysis was conducted on other infectious diarrhea cases of infants in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region from China Information System for Disease Prevention and Control from 2005 to 2016. The main methods were descriptive epidemiology for population, area and time distribution of these registered cases in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The trends were analyzed by the ratio of fixed base and ring base. Area map method was used for regional differences.
Results:
From 2005 to 2016, 17 760 other infectious diarrhea diseases of infants were reported in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, accounting for 58% of the total reported cases. The cases number and incidence showed an overall upward trend. After 2011, the growth rate of case reports and incidences slowed down relatively. The peak of the incidence was in July and August (4 739 cases), accounting for 27% of cases of the whole year. Seventy-three point forty-four percent of the cases were located in Hulunbeier City (5 161 cases, 29.06%), Hohhot City (4 465 cases, 25.14%) and Baotou City (3 417 cases, 19.24%) . Except for Wuhai City, the remaining 11 cities showed increased incidence of other infectious diarrhea diseases in infants. The ratio of male to female was 1.55∶1, and the incidence in males was higher than that in females every year. Twelve-month-old (5 800 cases, 33%) had the greatest proportion. Clinical diagnosis (56.26%) and confirmed diagnosis (43.51%) were the main categories, but the rate of pathogen labeling was only 7.60%.
Conclusions
After 2011, the incidence of other infectious diarrhea diseases of infants in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region have slowed down relatively. However, the incidence has significant time, region and population aggregation.
