OBJECTIVE: All the people in modern world are exposed to the industrial frequency magnetism (extremeiy low-frequency magnetic fields, ELFMF). There are important academic and practical significance to understand the influence of ELFMF on human diseases.DATA SOURCES: A computer-based online search was conducted in HighWire database for English literatures about the relation between ELFMF and human cancers from January 1991 to March 2006 by using the key words of "extremely low frequency magnetic fields, cancer".STUDY SELECTION: All the collected literatures were screened. Inclusion criteria: ① To browse the abstracts of the literatures to examine primitively, and select the articles experimented with the cytological, molecular biological and epidemiological methods. ② Choosing the separate articles by studying with different animals but having got the same results.③ Comparing and analyzing the original and reviewed articles about the relations between ELFMF and cancers.DATA EXTRACTION: A total 90 original and 4 reviewed literatures about ELFMF and cancers were collected and 29 and 4 papers were accordance with the criteria, respectively. In the 47 eliminated articles, 32 of them were unrelated or repetitive to our topic, 5 of them were published earlier or the conclusions were ambiguous, and other 10 of them used only the epidemiological methods.DATA SYNTHESIS : ① For a long time, the question whether 50/60 Hz ELFMF has the carcinogenic effects has been disputed in epidemiology and cytology. ② Majority statistical results in epidemiology showed that the crowds exposed to ELFMF for long or frequent time had an higher ratios suffering cancers than the normal, thereinto, the dangerousness such as leucocythemia, brain cancer and breast cancer is especially high. ③ However, the observation in cytology indicated that the normal cultural cells exposed to ELFMF had not increased the cell divisions or appeared cancer signals, and even in some reports, ELFMF may accelerate apoptosis, and reduced the possibility of cancerization. ④ Although ELFMF may not produce cancerization to normal cells, it may act as an promoter or co-promoter of cancer-prone cells, to accelerate the cancerization and exacerbation course of those cells. ⑤ The effect is related to influencing various links of signal transduction, changing translation of gene, changing activities of some enzymes and increasing production of free radicals.CONCLUSION: Although ELFMF may not produce cancerization to normal cells, it may act as an promoter or co-promoter of cancer-prone cells, to accelerate the cancerization and exacerbation course of those cells.

Objective:To investigate the effect of adenosine (Ado) on the unit discharging electricities in habenula nucleus and on the c-fos expression in lateral habenular complex,and the influence of adenosine on the neuron activities and related gene expression involved in affecting sleep in habenula nucleus and the possible mechanisms.Methods:Intraperitoneal injection,brain flakes pouring of rats,immunohistochemistry and other methods were useel.Results:Ado pouring into flakes of brain depressed the unit discharging electricities of neurons in medial habenular complex(MHb),but obviously increased that of lateral habenular complex(LHb).0.5 h after the six rats being injected intraperitoneally with Ado,the c-fos protein expression in lateral habenular nucleus was significantly increased compared to the group with saline injection.Conclusion:Ado may restrain the unit discharging electricities of neurons in medial habenular complex but excite those in lateral habenular complex.At the meantime,Ado may increase the c-fos expression in LHb.This provides the experimental evidence that Ado may improve the sleep quality.

Objective To learn the status of health care personnel construction of primary health institutions in Jiangsu province. Methods In July 2015, cluster sampling method was adopted in which 14 areas from Jiangsu province were selected, then one or more township health centers from each area were selected , and a total of 23 hospitals were selected. Personal interview were applied to administrators, the medical staff and residents respectively. A self-made questionnaire was performed in medical personnel from different departments. The method of descriptive statistics was used to collect data of rural health care personnel in primary health institutions. Results A total of 521 questionnaires were collected. In the town hospitals, the average age of the health professional staff was 37 years old. 68.33% (356 people) of the staff had college diploma or technical secondary school diploma and 35.12%(183 people) of them had junior title. There were 10.94%(57 people) and 14.01%(73 people) of the staff had no title and no physician practice qualification respectively. Conclusion Grass-roots health personnel construction task is still formidable. Further efforts are needed to improve the educa-tional system of health talents. And the incentive mechanism should be improved to strengthen the at-traction and stability of grass-roots health personnel. Strengthening education and training for the exist-ing staff is also needed to intensify the ability to primary health care.

Objective To study the variation and prognostic value of serum heparin-binding protein (HBP),a potent inducer of vascular leakage in septic shock.Methods A total of 82 sepsis patients admitted to central ICU from August 2011 to July 2012 were enrolled in the prospective study.Eighty-two sepsis patients were divided into septic shock group (group A,n =39) and sepsis without shock group (group B,n =43).At the same time,another 30 shock patients without sepsis were enrolled as group C and 35 patients without sepsis and shock were enrolled as group D.Blood samples obtained within 24 hours after enrollment,and the concentrations of HBP were measured by ELISA and lactate by electrode method.Comparisons of HBP,lactate and APACHE Ⅱ score between groups were carried out by Studers't test,and the early prognostic value in septic shock and mortality was studied by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results Patients in group A (t =3.862,P＜0.001) and group B(t =5.193,P＜ 0.001) both had higher HBP level than patients in group D.HBP level in group A patients was also higher than that of group B (t =3.270,P =0.002).Septic shock patients (group A) had higher HBP than patients of group C (t =3.029,P =0.004).The area under curve (AUC) of HBP predicting septic shock patients was 0.834,with sensitivity 0.795,specificity 0.795.The AUC of HBP predicting 28-day mortality of all enrolled patients was was 0.680,and the AUC of predicting 28-day mortality of sepsis patients was 0.784.Conclusions HBP levels were increased in septic patients,especially in septic shock patients.HBP is a better predictor than traditional predictors like lactate and APACHE Ⅱ score for predicting septic shock.HBP is a good and specific evaluation marker for predicting septic shock and the mortality of sepsis patients.The measurement of HBP during the early stage of disease presents valuable information about diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To inquire into T-type calcium channel effects on RyR and IP 3R of sarcoplasmic reticulum in atrial myocytes during atrial fibrillation.Methods Ten dogs underwent continuous rapid atrial pacing (500 beats/min) to create persistent atrial fibrillation.In five rapidly-paced dogs,mibefradil dihydrochloride was given beginning 2 days after pacemaker implantation,continuing until the twenty-fourth week.A group of size-matched dogs (n=5) without given mibefradil was used as a pure atrial fibrillation group.Another group of size-matched dogs (n=5) without pacemaker implantation was used as a control group.Canine atrial myocytes isolated by enzymatic dissociation were used to study T-type Ca 2+ channel blocker effects on expression and function changes of RyR and IP 3R in atrial myocytes by confocal microscopy.Results RyR/IP 3R ratio (0.2965?0.01812) was markedly lower than that of control group (2.7043?0.2293),but there was no difference compared with that of atrial fibrillation group (0.2472?0.1355).Ca 2+transient of atrial myocytes was nremarkably changed (1.3031?0.1056)(P

BACKGROUND: Environment pollution due to lead is severe day by day,and the lead-induced developmental toxicity of central nervous system is prominent.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of lead at low exposure level on neurobehavioral function of preschool children and provide basis for preventing childhood behavior disorders.DESIGN: Sampling survey.SETTING: Department of Children and Adolescent Health, Public Health College, Sun Yat-sen University.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 211 children of 4-6 years (109 boys and 102girls) were enrolled from a kindergarten of a populated area of Zhuhai City by randomized cluster sampling from September to October 2004.METHODS: 20 mL peripheral blood of finger tip was collected. Blood lead was determined with graphite stove atomic absorption spectrometry.According to the amount of blood lead, the children were divided into high blood lead exposure group (＞100μg/L) and low blood lead exposure group (＜100μg/L). Furthermore, they were also assigned into ＜50 μg/L group, 50μg/L- group, 100μg/L- group, 150 μg/L- group, 250- μg/L group. Achenbach's Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and self-designed questionnaire (composed of possibly effective factor on children's neurobehavioral function, such as age, sex, cultivation, family background and so on) were applied, filled by their parents under the instruction of professional staffs. Results and blood lead value were analyzed with first order correlation and multiple factors stepwise regressive analysis.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Blood lead level and each factor scores of CBCL, ②correlation analysis between blood lead value and behavioral factor score.RESULTS: A total of 211 questionnaires were sent out, and 211 were retrieved with 211 effective questionnaires. The effective rate was 100%. ①Score on externalizing and behavioral disorder rate in the high blood lead exposure group (13.28±6.26,18.26%) was significantly higher than those in the low blood lead exposure group (9.98±5.46,7.29%)( t=4.067 7,χ2=5.470, P＜0.05). There was insignificant difference in score on internalizing and total score of CBCL between the low and high blood lead exposure groups. ②The behavioral disorder rate of different blood lead level had significance (χ2=13.695,P＜0.01). The behavioral disorder rate in blood lead ≥ 150 μg/L was obviously higher than that of the former 3groups after further pairwise comparison (χ2 were 4.727, 6.261, 5.168;4.503, 5.911, 4.928, P＜0.05), which revealed that the child behavioral disorder rate markedly increased when the blood lead was ≥ 150 μg/L.③Blood lead logarithm value had positive correlation with the scores on hyperactivity, aggression and defiance (r=0.316 4,0.282 8,0.188 6,P ＜0.05), and had no correlation with obesity, desintegration, truculence and sexual questionnaire (r=0.102 4,0.094 2,0.118 3,0.092 6,P ＞ 0.05). ④After the stepwise regression analysis, the scores on hyperactivity, aggression and defiance factors were included in the regression equation. The results suggested that the effect of lead on child externalizing behavior still remained, and kept statistical meaning after confounding factors, such as controlling family and society, etc.CONCLUSION: Low-level lead exposure has adverse effects on externalizing behavior in preschool children.

Objective To study the relationship between the washout speed in the contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and the differentiation grading in pathology in patients with hypervascular hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods Totally 271 patients who underwent complete resection for hypervascular HCC from April 2009 to December 2014 at Nanchong Central Hospital were included in this study.CEUS examinations were perfomred in all patients 2-3 days before liver resection.A timer on the ultrasound screen displayed the time elapsed since the saline flush was used to determine time to washout.The washout rate were categorized into four levels based on enhancement in portal venous phase and delayed phase.The differentiation grade and the washout speed were compared using Kruskal-Wallis test.Results All 271 (100％) lesions were arterially enhanced with different washout rate.Washout speed 1 was found in 19 patients (7.0％),while speed 2 in 157 patients (57.9％),speed 3 in 65 (24.0％),and speed 4 in 30,respectively.The washout speed had a significant correlation with the differentiation (x2=179.8238,P ＜ 0.001).The faster washout speed,the higher differentiated.Washout speed 1 could distinghuish well-differentiated from the poor and moderately differentiated tumor.The sensitivity and specificity of preoperative washout speed 1 to identify well histologic grade were 98.0％ and 77.8％,the positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 96.0％ and 48.8％,and the positive likelihood ratio and negative likelihood ratiowere were 1.9 and 0.01.Washout speed 4 could distinghuish poor differentiated from well and moderately differentiated tumor The sensitivity and specificity of preoperative washout speed 4 to identify poor histologic grade were 24.3％ and 97.0％,the positive predictive value and the negative predictive value were 65.3％ and 61.3％,and the positive likelihood ratio and negative likelihood ratiowere were 3.2 and 0.7.Conculsions Washout speed can reflect the degree of differentiation roughly.Washout speed can effectively diagnose the well-differentiated HCC,but it is difficult for moderate and poor differentiated HCC.

Objective To observe the effect of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAHS) patients with glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, assessment of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) effect on the level of HbA1c in patients with OSAHS. Methods From January 2013 to December 2016, eighty patients with OSAHS were divided into mild group, eighteen cases, moderate group twenty cases, severe group forty-two cases according to the apnea hypopnea index (AHI). Thirty healthy subjects were chosen as the control group. All the treatment groups were treated with CPAP for three months. Overnight polysomnography and HbA1c test were performed before and after treatment, and the control group was examined by HbA1c before treatment. Results The level of glycosylated hemoglobin in the middle and severe group was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05). After treatment, the glycated hemoglobin levels in the moderate and severe groups were significantly lower(P<0.05), and the sleep apnea hypopnea index, the lowest SaO2 and the average SaO2 level were significantly improved(P<0.01). Conclusion Glycated hemoglobin levels increased significantly in patients with moderate and severe OSAHS, and decreased HbA1c levels in patients with moderate and severe OSAHS after CPAP treatment.
