Crisis is an emergent event that threatens the national security, social regulation, civilian property and life, and needs urgent, decisive response in the condition of high instability. Crisis management should be prompt, active, honest, responsible and soluble, and should be carried out according to the model of preparation, reduction, response and recovery. SARS outbreak in China revealed constitutive defects in the immediate response for emergent public health event as well as crisis management. This paper provides some information for establishing the immediate response system for emergent public health event and crisis management.

Objective:To investigate the cognitive status of the elderly in rural areas and explore the characteristics and influencing factors of subjective cognitive decline (SCD).Methods:A baseline survey was conducted among 5 765 rural elderly people aged 60 years old or above from March to September 2018.Subjective cognitive decline questionnaire(SCD-Q9), mini-mental state examination(MMSE), verbal fluency test (VFT), Chinese auditory verbal learning test (CAVLT), digital span test(DST)and activities of daily living(ADL)were used in the survey.The result of the survey indicated that there were 2 654 subjects with SCD (SCD group) and 1 008 subjects with normal cognitive function (NC group). Social support rating scale (SSRS) and short version of geriatric depression scale-15(GDS-15) were used to evaluate their psychosocial status.Descriptive analysis and Logistic regression analysis were conducted by SPSS 26.0 software.Results:(1) Compared with NC group, the SCD group had the following characteristics: delayed recognition rate(8.25 ±2.51), (12.38 ±2.53), reverse digit span (2.63±1.37), (3.69±1.45), social support (69.81±8.71), (64.40±9.44), GDS-15 (2.27±2.63), (1.31±2.17), and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). However, there were no significant differences in the following characteristics: MMSE score (21.62±5.73), (21.47±5.84), speech fluency (27.80±7.35), (28.25±7.56), ADL score (20.70±1.35), (20.77±1.30), all P>0.05.(2) There were no significant differences in diet structure, blood glucose, blood lipid, cerebrovascular disease, diabetes, epilepsy and coronary heart disease between SCD group and NC group (all P>0.05). (3)SCD was mainly affected by age( β=0.06, OR=2.29, 95% CI=1.09-4.85), depression( β=-0.01, OR=2.96, 95% CI=0.68-4.94), hypertension( β=-0.17, OR=1.89, 95% CI=1.11-2.15), and low level of social support( β=2.07, OR=1.49, 95% CI=1.32-2.12) (all P<0.05). Conclusion:The scores of delayed recognition and reverse digit span in patients with SCD are lower than those with normal cognitive function.The other objective cognitive functions are basically normal.Old age, low social support level, depression, low education level and hypertension are the risk factors of SCD.

Objective:To establish a 10-year comparison table of cerebrovascular function score and first stroke risk, and to provide a new method for screening of high-risk population of stroke.Methods:In the beginning of 2003, a cohort for studing stroke risk factors in those aged 40 years and over was established in a community of Shanghai by cluster sampling. The common risk factors of stroke were investigated with a unified questionnaire, and the cerebrovascular function (cerebral vascular hemodynamic indexes, CVHI) was measured. The baseline study was completed from April to June 2003 and December 2004 to January 2005, respectively. The incident of first stroke and all cause of death were followed up year by year. The follow-up period was up to December 31, 2014. The 10-year incidence of first stroke was calculated according to the baseline score of cerebrovascular function, and the score-risk control table was established to estimate 10-year first stroke risk in each score group. The role of cerebrovascular function score in stroke was also estimated.Results:The follow-up term of 10 565 participants was (10.26±2.00) years, and 350 patients had first stroke during the follow-up. The trend 10-year incidence of first stroke both in men and women was significantly increased with the decrease of the score of cerebrovascular function (trend χ2=296.125, P<0.01). As the 10-year risk of first stroke was higher than 5% and higher than 10%, the corresponding CVHI score was lower than 70 and 40 points in males and lower than 30 and 20 points in females. When the scores of cerebral vascular function were divided by every 25 points, incidence of first stroke in each group from top to bottom was 1.9%, 4.7%, 10.8%, 15.2% in males and 1.6%, 4.4%, 4.8%, 11.4% in females, respectively. As compared to the top, the relative risk (95% CI) of first stroke in the lower groups was 2.61(1.67-4.07), 6.46(4.22-9.89), 9.74(6.53-14.52) for males and 2.82(1.93-4.12), 3.15(1.99-4.99), 8.12(5.65-11.68) for females, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that the factors being selected into the regression equation were cerebrovascular function score, age, hypertension history, stroke family history and smoking history, among which the role of cerebrovascular function score was the strongest. Conclusion:The risk of first stroke increases significantly with the decrease of cerebrovascular function score, which can be used to assess the 10-year risk of first stroke.

Objective: To compare the accumulative scores of cerebrovascular hemodynamic parameters (CVHP) in different populations and to analyze the relationship between the change of accumulative scores and the risk of stroke. Methods: A total of 10 565 participants aged 40 years and above were selected from a cluster sampling community-based population. Their risk factors were investigated and CVHP was evaluated. The CVHP scores were accumulated by a unified approach, and the incidence of stroke was followed up. The participants were grouped into health adult, single factor exposure, multiple-factor exposure, and newly developed stroke during the follow-up period. The differences of CVHP accumulative scores and the change law among the 4 groups were compared respectively according to age and sex. Results: The accumu-lative scores of the mean (SD) CVHP in the health adult, single factor exposure, multiple-factor exposure, and newly developed stroke groups were 86.44 (20.69), 72.07 (28.10), 60.82(34.64), and4.01 (29.36) in men respectively, and they were 83.95 (22.19), 67.97 (29.73),59.91 (31.34), and 42.64 (28.00) in women respectively, which had a tendency to gradually decrease. The accumulative scores of CVHP and their distributions at the same age stage in all the 4 groups had significant differences (P < 0.01 ). The accumulative scores of CVHP and their distributions for the same factors between all age groups also had significant differences (P <0. 01). Conclusions: The accumulative scores of CVHP had a tendency to gradually decrease from the health adults, risk factor exposure to high risk status before stroke. The decrease of the accumulative scores is closely associated with the increase of stroke risk, which can be used as a predictor of stroke.

BACKGROUND: The understanding about characteristics and variation trends of cerebral vascular hemodynamic indexes in high-risk stroke population,in prior and post-stroke period patients as well as in normal people,particularly the cerebral vascular hemodynamic index(CVHD) prior to stroke can improve diagnosis efficiency of stroke and increase sensitivity and specificity of stroke diagnosis.OBJECTIVE: To study the features of CVHD in acute stoke,in order to provide evidences for early evaluation and rehabilitation intervention.DESIGN: Case analysis and observational study based on patients.SETTING: A neurological department in a general hospital of military area command of Chinese PLA and a prevention and cure institute of cerebrovascular diseases.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 55 (male 38,female 17) inpatients in the Neurological Department of Fuzhou General Hospital of Chinese PLA from June to December 2001 were enrolled in the study.METHODS: CVHD was measured during the first week after onset and the data were analyzed.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The CVHD,blood pressure and cerebral vascular hemodynamic parameters.RESULTS: The CVHD of each patient is below 75,median 32.5. The mean velocity,blood flow,maximum velocity,minimum velocity and difference between diastolic and critical pressures were lower than corresponding ones of healthy men in seventies( P < 0.01 ). And the pulse wave velocity,peripheral resistance,specific impedance and critical pressure increased( P < 0. 01).CONCLUSION: During the first week after stroke,the CVHD decreases and many hemodynamic parameters alters significantly. Examination of CVHD can reveal cerebral circulation insufficiency or predict an attack of cerebral stroke.

Staphylococcus aureus is a major cause of hospital-acquired infection. Because the bacteria are very easy to become resistant to antibiotics, vaccination is a main method against S. aureus infection. Clumping factor B (ClfB) is an adhesion molecule essential for S. aureus to colonize in the host mucosa and is regarded as an important target antigen. In this study, we successfully used Escherichia coli to express a segment encoding the N1-N3 regions of ClfB protein (Truncated-ClfB) cloned from S. aureus. The protein was purified by affinity and ion exchange chromatographies and gel filtration. Rabbits were immunized three times with purified Truncated-ClfB. After that, blood was collected to prepare serum which were then used for measurement of antibody level. Phagocytosis of S. aureus opsonized by the serum was determined by a flow cytometry. Results show that the serum IgG titer reached 1:640 000. Phagocytosed S. aureus by polymorphonuclear leukocytes were significantly more when the bacteria were opsonized by the serum from Truncated-ClfB immunized rabbits than those from no immunized group (P < 0.01). Therefore, the results indicated that Truncated-ClfB could be a promising vaccine candidate against S. aureus infection.
