ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence and distribution characteristics of dental fluorosis of children aged 8 - 12 in Wushan and Fengjie counties of Chongqing and to provide a scientific basis for prevention and control of the disease.MethodsTwenty townships(towns) in Fengjie county and 18 in Wushan county were selected as survey points by random cluster sampling in 2010.Dental fluorosis of all the children aged 8 - 12 was examined with Dean index.The detection rate of children's dental fluorosis,defect rate and dental fluorosis index were compared between the two counties.Results Totally 38 209 children aged 8 - 12 were investigated.The total detection rate of dental fluorosis was 43.09％( 16 466/38 209) in the two counties.The detection rates of dental fluorosis in Wushan and Fengjie were 48.98％ (9397/19 186)and 37.16％(7069/19 023),respectively,and the difference was statistically significant(x2 =544.03,P ＜ 0.01 ).Total detection rates of dental fluorosis of the five age groups(8,9,10,11,and 12-year-old age groups) were 32.52％(2157/6632),40.07％(2672/6668),43.67％(3420/7831 ),46.01％ (3861/8391) and 50.14％ (4356/8687),respectively,and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =510.50,P ＜ 0.01),Dental fluorosis indexes in Wushan and Fengjie were 0.713 and 0.485,respectively.Defect rates of dental fluorosis in Wushan and Fengjie were 4.05％ (777/19 186) and 1.57％(298/19 023),respectively.Conclusions The total detection rate of dental fluorosis of the two counties is still high,which gradually increases with age.Wushan is still an endemic area of dental fluorosis,and Fengjie is at the edge of the

To systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of compound Danshen injection in treating hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) of newborns. Computer retrievals were made in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, VIP and China info (before May 2014) and relevant literature references, and manual retrievals were made for journals and conference papers, in order to collect randomized or semi-randomized controlled trials concerning compound Danshen injection in the treatment of neonatal HIE. The quality of included references was evaluated according to literatures recommended by Cochrane Handbook. RevMan 5. 3 software was applied in the statistical treatment. Finally, a total of 13 randomized controlled trials were included, covering 1,211 patients (including 639 patients in the compound Danshen injection-treated group and 572 patients in the control group). Meta-analysis results showed that the routine treatment combined with compound Danshen injection can improve the treatment efficiency of neonatal HIE [RR = 1.28; 95% CI (1.21-1.36)], reduce the mortality rate [RR = 0.42; 95% CI (0.23-0.75)] and the incidence of long-term neurological sequelae [RR = 0.48; 95% CI (0.35-0.65)], with statistical differences. No fatal side effect was observed in all of included trials. So far, limited evidences in this study proved that the application of compound Danshen injection in the treatment of neonatal HIE can enhance the clinical efficiency. However, because of the low quality of the included trials, more well-designed and large-scale multi-center randomized controlled trials shall be made in the future.

This paper is aim to investigate the pharmacokinetics and absolute bioavailability of neoline in Beagle dogs, and provide a theoretical basis for further study. Ethyl acetate was used for liquid-liquid extracting after 10% ammonia alkalizing. The method of UPLC-Q-TOF-MS was established for the determination of neoline plasma concentrations. Beagle dogs were orally or intravenously administered with neoline for pharmacokinetic and absolute bioavailability study. Good linear relationship of neoline was found over the range of 0.1-4 mg x L(-1) (R2 = 0.9982) and 2-100 microg x L(-1) (R2 = 0.9945). Intra-and inter-day precision, expressed as the relativestandard (RSD) were less than 5.0%. Accuracy, expressed as the relative error (RE) was within 90.0%-115%. The recovery of neoline in dog plasma was more than 80%. After 6 mg x kg(-1) for ig and 1 mg x kg(-1) for iv administration of neoline, the main pharmacokinetic parameters were analyzed with Winnonlin software. t(1/2) were (313.88 +/- 63.18), (236.33 +/- 229.84) min, and AUC(0-infinity) were (58,027.40 +/- 14,132.69), (473,578.02 +/- 82,333.08) min x microg x L(-1) for ig and iv administration respectively. The absolute bioavail ability was (73.15 +/- 10.29) %. The method of UPLC-Q-TOF-MS described in the report was sensitive, reliable and specific, and suitable for pharmacokinetic study of neoline in Beagle dog. The high absolute bioavailability of neoline in dog suggested good absorption of neline which was worth of further investigation.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic performance of a point-of-care testing for sensitive cardiac troponin Ⅰ (POCT-cTnI) in early diagnosis of chest pain patients who had a high pretest probability of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods Total of 127 patients with new-onset chest pain at the emergency department were enrolled.Blood samples were drawn for the routine blood test,and determined POCT-cTnI and central laboratory testing for high sensitive cardiac troponin T (CLT-hscTnT) at admission,three and then at six hours after admission.All patients were divided into AMI group and non-AMI group according to the final diagnosis,which was adjudicated independently by two physicians who reviewed all available medical records for the 90-day follow-up period,and they were unaware of the results of the investigational assays of cardiac troponins.The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed to assess and compare the diagnostic performance of AMI of two cardiac troponin assays.The comparison of areas under the ROC curves (AUC) was performed by DeLong test,and the sensitivity,specificity,negative predictive values (NPV) and positive predictive values (PPV) for the target markers were calculated by applying a maker-specific cutoff value.Results The final diagnosis of AMI was made in 40 of 127 patients (31.5 ％).The diagnostic accuracy of the two assays oBtained at presentation,as quantified by AUC,was no statistically differences (AUC for POCT-cTnⅠ,0.901,95％ CI,0.901 to 0.947;and for CLT-hscTnT,0.907,95％ CI,0.842 to 0.951;Z =0.235,P =0.745).The AUC for POCT-cTnI at 3 hours after admission was significantly higher than that on admission (0.931 vs.0.858;Z =-2.038,P =0.042),while there was on further improvement at 6 hours after admission (0.931 vs.0.949;Z =-1.435,P =0.151).With use of POCT-cTnI (cutoff value 0.023 ng/mL,which was the 99th percentile upper reference limit) on adimission,the clinical sensitivity was 77.5％,and the specificity was 94.2％.A single sample of POCT-cTnI at 3 hours after admission improved the diagnostic accuracy,with a sensitivity of 96.4％,a specificity of 92.0％,and a NPV of 98.6％,a PPV of 81.8％.While,with use of CLT-hscTnT (cutoff value 0.014 ng/mL,was the 99th percentile upper reference limit) at 3 hours after admission,the NPV reached to 100％.Conclusions The use of a POCT-cTnI assay in chest pain patients can identify and exclude the AMI rapidly and exactly at three hours after admission,and the diagnostic performance is equivalent to CLT-hscTnT.

Objective To investigate brain function alteration in early onset schizophrenia by amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) based on resting-state functional MRI (fMRI). Method Twenty patients with early on?set schizophrenia and 20 sex, age, education years matched healthy controls underwent resting-state functional MRI. The difference in ALFF was compared between patients and controls. Result Compared with control group, the ALFF values in patient group increased in the left frontal gyrus, precuneus, cingulate cortex, occipital lobe, parahippocampal gyrus and calcarine (P<0.05, AlphaSim revised), while decreased in the right superior temporal lobe and the posterior lobe of cerebellum (P<0.05, AlphaSim revised). Conclusion There are abnormal ALFF in multiple regions in early onset schizo?phrenia, suggesting that early onset schizophrenia may have altered in resting-state brain activity.
