Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) can induce cryptogenic stroke and are also an important cause of stroke in young adults. The risk of ischemic stroke increases with age in patients with PAVMs. Contrast echocardiography can be used for early screening of PAVMs, especially in young patients with cryptogenic stroke. After treatment, patients with PAVMs have a reduced risk of ischemic stroke. This article summarizes the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of PAVMs by retrieving studies on PAVMs and ischemic stroke, in order to improve the understanding of PAVMs and avoid misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.

Objective:
To learn about the construction and staffing of the school health system in Chinese institutions for disease prevention and control, and to provide basic information for the school health system, team capacity building and work development.
Methods:
Electronic questionnaire was used to collect the setting and staffing of school health departments (including school health centers and departments/rooms) at the provincial, prefecture and county (district) levels in the centers for disease control and prevention. Statistical analysis was made on the proportion of school health, the number of staff and the characteristics such as age, education, major and working years in the provincial, prefecture and county (district) levels.
Results:
Among the 3 313 institutions, the proportion of independent school health departments was 10.8%, and those of the provincial, prefecture and county (district) levels were 74.2%, 15.0%, and 9.6%, respectively. Among the institutions with separated department, the average number of staff members was 4.4, while the number of staff was 2.5. The average age of school health workers was 40.4 years old, and the proportion of male and female employees was 45.2% and 54.8%. The proportion of personnel who have been engaged in school health work for less than 5 years on average was as high as 65.1%. The majors of the staff were mainly public health ( 40.4 %), 54.0% of the provincial staff had a master s degree or above, and 47.8% and 58.7% of the staff at the prefecture and county (district) levels were junior college or below respectively.The proportion of provincial level personnel with intermediate and senior titles was 69.6%, and the proportion of municipal and countylevel personnel at the junior level and below was 52.2% and 56.2% respectively.
Conclusion
The proportion of independent school health departments within centers of disease control and prevention across China was low. There is a serious shortage of school health personnel, and there are problems such as low levels of education and professional titles, especially in county (district) level institutions. It is urgent to strengthen the construction of the school health system of the centers for disease control and prevention in China.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of filiform fire needle combined with tacrolimus ointment in the treatment of vitiligo.Methods:The RCTs of combination of filiform fire needle and tacrolimus ointment on the treatment of vitiligo were searched in the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), China Knowledge Network Full-text Database (CNKI), Wanfang Full-text Database, VIP and PubMed databases. The studies were selected with the inclusion and exclusion criteria, then data extracted, and the quality of the included studies was evaluated according to Cochrane System Evaluation Manual. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMen 5.3 software.Results:Four studies involving 218 patients were included. After analysis, it was found that the effective rate [ OR=4.42, 95% CI (1.39-14.03), P<0.05)] and the apparent efficiency [ OR=2.89, 95% CI (1.40-5.95), P=0.004] of filiform fire needle combined with tacrolimus ointment were significantly better than that of tacrolimus ointment alone. Adverse reactions werelocal slight redness, pain and itching. None of adverse reactionswas reported. Recurrence occurred in the follow-up of were reported in two studies, which found that the recurrence rate [ OR=0.17, 95% CI (0.04-0.77), P<0.05] in the combined treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group. Conclusions:The clinical efficacy of filiform fire needle combined with tacrolimus ointment in the treatment of vitiligo is better than that of tacrolimus ointment alone, and the recurrence rate can be reduced without any adverse reactions. However, in view of the limited number, average quality and bias of the included studies, it is suggested to carry out more multi-center, large sample and high quality randomized controlled trials for further verification.

Objective:
To understand the current status of main professional work in independent school health departments of Chinese centers for disease control and prevention, so as to provide reference and suggestions for the further development of school health work in China.
Methods:
Electronic questionnaire was used to collect the basic work of school health, the monitoring work, the intervention action of common diseases and the development of health intervention among students in independent school health departments of centers for disease control and prevention in China.
Results:
Among the 357 institutions that have set up independent school health departments, the implementation rates of school mental health work, safety emergency and risk avoidance health intervention were low, which were 11.8% and 11.5%, respectively. Relying on the project "national monitoring and intervention of common diseases and health influencing factors of students", the overall implementation of health monitoring in schools nationwide was successful, but the overall implementation rate of students nutritional status monitoring and "healthy parents action" were low, accounting for 44.5% and 24.4%, respectively. At the same time, there were still as many as 27.2% institutions that had not carried out the intervention action for common diseases of students which advocated in the monitoring program. The failure rate of county level institutions was higher than that of provincial level and prefecture level institutions, and the failure rate of the central and western institutions was much higher than that of the eastern institutions; the difference was statistically significant( χ 2=30.1, 41.6, P <0.05).
Conclusion
We should increase support including policy preference, fund guarantee, technical guidance and so on for the school health work of disease control institutions at the grass roots level and in economically underdeveloped areas, so as to ensure the healthy growth of children and adolescents in all respects.

Objective To explore the blood lead level and its relationship with behavior in school?age children from rural areas of Chongqing. Methods A total of 697 students from grades 3 to 6 in the fall semester of 2014 from 14 rural townships in one district of Chongqing was selected by using the random cluster sampling method. Blood were sampled to analyze the lead level. Neurobehavioral tests were performed to determine their personal cognitive and memory ability. Questionnaires and physical examinations were administered to obtain the information of confounding factors. All students were divided into Q1-Q4 groups according to the quartile of their blood lead level. The relationship between the blood lead level and behavior was analyzed by multivariate logistic regression model and restricted spline regression model. Results The mean age of 697 students was (10.07±1.36) years old, and the median (interquartile range) of their blood lead level was 44.31 (35.42) μg/L. Multivariate logistic regression model showed that after adjusting for age, gender, body mass index and maternal culture level, compared with Q1 group, the OR (95%CI ) values of high digit symbol substitution test (DSST) scores and high overall memory quotient (MQ) scores in Q 3 group were 1.65 (1.01-2.70) and 2.10 (1.21-3.62), and the OR (95%CI ) value of high long term memory (LTM) scores in Q4 group was 0.53 (0.31-0.92). The results of the restricted spline regression model showed that the dose?response curves between the blood lead level and MQ/LTM test scores were both parabolic (P<0.05). Conclusion The blood lead level of school?age children from rural areas of Chongqing is the same as that from other areas of China, but slightly higher than that from other areas of Chongqing. Children with higher blood lead level have poor long?term memory ability.
