Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of tobacco control interventions among employees in centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) in Hebei Province. Methods Tobacoo control interventions, including health education, Quit and Win competition, and founding smokeless CDC, were carried out in CDC system in Hebei Province from May 2006 to June 2008. Surveys on smoking rate of employees and on average cigarette quantity consumed by male employee smokers were conducted at the beginning and the end of the interventions. Results In 2006, 9 931 employees in 174 centers at provincial, city, county level in Hebei Province participated in this study. The overall smoking rate was 25.69%. Male employees had a higher smoking rate (51.28%) than the females (0.68%). The smoking rate of male employees was 50.92%, 49.48% and 51.72% for provincial, city and county CDC levels, respectively. The average cigarettes consumed by one smoker in one day were 15.0. In 2008, 9 139 employees in 189 centers participated in this study. The overall current smoking rate was 25.07%. The smoking rate was 52.26% and 0.43% for males and females, respectively. The smoking rates of male employees in provincial and city CDCs were 43.93% and 46.18%, significantly lower than those in 2006. The smoking rate of male employees in county CDCs was 53.98%, much higher than that in 2006. The average cigarettes consumed by one smoker in one day in 2008 were 12.4, significantly less than that in 2006. The current smoking rate of male employees in smokeless CDCs was 48.0% , significantly lower than 56.9% in non smokeless CDCs. Conclusion Male employees in Hebei Province CDC system had a high smoking rate. Tobacco control interventions play a role in reducing smoking rate and cigarettes consumption.

Objective To explore the images and diagnostic evaluation of X-ray combined with ultrasound in paralytic intestinal obstruction caused by antipsychotic agents. Methods The data of X-ray and ultrasound of 124 cases of clinically diagnosed paralytic intestinal obstruction caused by antipsychotic agents were analyzed retrospectively, as well as their rates of confirmed diagnosis. All the 124 patients were examined by erect abdominal radiography and fluoroscopy,68 of the 124 patients by ultrasound. Results According to their typical images,the rate of X-ray confirmed diagnosis was 87.9%(109/124) with 15 missed diagnosis and the rate of missed diagnosis was 12.1%( 15/124);the rate of ultrasound confirmed diagnosis was 82.4%(56/68) with 12 missed diagnosis and the rate of missed diagnosis was 17.6%(12/68). There was no significant difference between X-ray and ultrasound (P> 0.05 ). Compared with X-ray or ultrasound ,X-ray combined with ultrasound in the diagnosis of paralytic intestinal obstruction could increase the rate of confirmed diagnosis (100.0% ,68/68),and decrease the rate of missed diagnosis (0),the difference was statistically significant (P< 0.05 ). Conclusions X-ray examination is the first choice to diagnose paralytic intestinal obstruction caused by antipsychotic agents,but ultrasound has the advantage of finding fluid in abdominal cavity. To reduce missed diagnosis, X-ray should be combined with ultrasound.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the antitumor effect and toxicity of doxorubicin-heparinized mesoporous silicon nanoparticles drug carrier system (DOX-HMSN) on H22 hepatoma mice. METHODS An experimental animal model of H22 hepatoma mice was established. Fifty male Kunming mice were divided into five groups:model control group,HMSN 8 mg?kg-1 group,DOX-HMSN 4,8 mg?kg-1 groups, and DOX 2 mg?kg-1(once every other day)group. Continuous intravenous injection was given once a day for 14 d. Tumor was completely stripped and weighed,and tumor inhibitory rate was determined. Pathological change of tumor tissue was observed by HE staining in H22 mice. White blood cell count was performed and the thymus index and spleen index were calculated. Levels of serum creatinine (Scr),blood urea nitrogen(BUN),glutamic pyruvic transaminase(GPT)and glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase(GOT)in serum were determined. BCL-2,BAX and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)expression of tumor tissue were analyzed using Western blot. RESULTS The inhibitory rate of tumor was 20.5%,40.4%,54.8%,and 67.5%,respectively,in HMSN 8 mg?kg-1 group,DOX-HMSN 4, 8 mg?kg-1 group and DOX 2 mg?kg-1 group(P<0.01). HE results showed that HMSN 8 mg?kg-1,DOX-HMSN 4,8 mg?kg-1and DOX 2 mg?kg-1 induced tumor necrosis and nuclear dissolution of the tumor cells in H22 mice. The white blood cell count,thymus index and spleen index of mice were not signifi?cantly different between control group and HMSN group or DOX-HMSN 4 and 8 mg?kg-1 group. The levels of Scr and BUN of mice did not change obviously in HMSN 8 mg?kg-1or DOX-HMSN 4,8 mg?kg-1 groups. Compared with the model control group,the level of GPT and GOT of mice increased in the DOX 2 mg?kg-1group but decreased in HMSN 8 mg?kg-1 and DOX-HMSN 4 and 8 mg?kg-1 group(P<0.05). Compared with the control,the BAX/BCL-2 ratio(from 0.49 ± 0.06 to 0.79 ± 0.08,1.23 ± 0.14 and 1.04±0.14)increased but the VEGF expression of tumor(from 1.39±0.14 to 1.13±0.12,0.75±0.08 and 0.94 ± 0.09)decreased significantly in DOX-HMSN 4,8 mg?kg-1 and DOX 2 mg?kg-1 group(P<0.05). CONCLUSION DOX-HMSN can inhibit the tumor growth of H22 tumor-bearing mice and its antitumor mechanism might be related to inducing tumor cell necrosis and apoptosis and inhibiting tumor angiogenesis.
