Objective To investigate the efficacy of electromyographic biofeedback therapy (EMGBFT) in treating dysphagia after stroke.Methods Patients diagnosed with dysphagia after stroke were recruited and randomly divided into a control group (n =22),an electrostimulation group (ES,n =25) and an EMGBFT group (n =23).The control group received conventional treatment,while the patients in the other groups additionally received Vitalstim ES or EMGBFT 5 times per week for 3 weeks.Before and after the trial,deglutition function was evaluated through surface electromyography (sEMG) and using a standardized swallowing assessment (SSA).Results After 3 weeks of treatment,the mean sEMG amplitude,deglutition duration and SSA score and improved significantly in comparison to the baseline in all three groups.All were also significantly better in the two treatment groups than in the control group.Importantly,the mean sEMG amplitude,deglutition duration and SSA score were all significantly better in the EMGBFT group than in the ES group.Conclusion EMGBFT can promote better deglutition among patients with dysphagia after stroke more effectively than ES or conventional treatment.

Objective To observe the effects of systems of progressive resistance exercise on lower limb extensors （quadriceps femoris） of stroke patients. Methods 89 stroke patients with weak lower limbs were randomly divided into progressive resistance exercise group (n=46) and control group (n=43), both receiving corresponding treatment for 4 weeks. They were assessed with Manual Muscle Test (MMT), integrated electromyogram (iEMG) and root mean square (RMS) of surface electromyography on quadriceps femoris before and after the treatment. Results The incidence of improvement with MMT was 94.3% in progressive resistance exercise group, and 63.8% in control group （P<0.01）. The iEMG and RMS of the exercise group was significantly higher than that of the control （P<0.01）. Conclusion The systems of progressive resistance exercise could improve the muscle strength of lower limbs extensors of stroke patients more effectively.

Objective: To investigate the development of public health human resource of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCs) in Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2020, so as to put forward the strategies for the talent team construction of CDCs. Methods: The general information of personnel of CDCs in Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2020 was collected through China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention. A questionnaire survey and a qualitative interview were conducted to collect the data of staffing, talent training, salary and employee turnover, and to analyze the development of the talent team of CDCs. Results: By 2020, there were 105 CDCs, including 1 provincial, 11 prefectural and 93 county-level CDCs, and 5 277 staff on-the-job. From 2016 to 2020, the number of staff per 10 000 permanent residents in the province, prefecture and county levels were 0.062-0.070, 0.170-0.188 and 0.585-0.604, respectively, which did not meet the standard for the personnel establishment in Zhejiang CDCs; the proportion of the staff with bachelor degree or above increased from 90.05% to 94.25%; the proportion of the health professionals decreased from 82.91% to 80.01%; the proportion of the staff with senior professional titles increased from 35.20% to 45.25%. The results of the qualitative interview indicated a lack of health professionals and high-end talents, a gap between the approved staffing and post requirements, as well as demands for a stable team and higher pay. Conclusion From 2016 to 2020, the structure of educational background, major and professional title among the on-the-job staff of CDCs in Zhejiang Province has been improving; however, the total allocation of human resource is insufficient, and the stability and treatment of staff need to be further improved.

Objective To analyse clinical features of dead children in pediatric intensive care unit(PICU) of Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from 2005 to 2014.Methods Clinical data of 917 dead cases in PICU from January 2005 to December 2014 in this hospital were collected,then distribution characteristics of age,length of hospital stay,time of dead and transfer department were analysed.The death cause analysis was conducted as well.Results According to systematic classification of disease,the top 10 leading causes of death for 917 dead cases in PICU from 2005 to 2014 in this hospital were congenital deformity,infectious disease,respiratory disease,injury and poisoning,digestive system disease,tumor,symptoms,signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings not elsewhere classified,circulation system disease,nervous system disease,blood system disease.Compared with 2005-2014,the ratio of dead cases due to infectious diseases to the total cases was declined,while that due to non-infectious diseases was increased,there was statistically significant difference (x2 =26.29,P =0.00).Whereas,the ranks of septicopyemia and hand-foot-mouth disease in the rank order of death causes both were increased.Condusion Congenital deformity is the first cause of death in PICU of this hospital.The key to cutting children's mortality is to reduce newborn with congenital deformity.

Authentications of Chinese herbal medicine have a critical effect in Chinese clinical medicine. DNA molecular marker, as an important component for true or false authentication, is more and more widely used in iden-tification of Chinese medicinal materials. At the same time, many new methods for authentication of Chinese medici-nal materials are continuously emerging. But the systematically comparative analysis of these new methods is lack. The present study taking Lonicera japonica as an example, systematically compared principles, characteristics, ex-periment methods, detection time and the application scope of express sequence tag-simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR), polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), allele-specific PCR (AS-PCR), DNA barcoding and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), and put forward corresponding improve-ment opinions. This study can help to screen appropriate approach for rapid authentication of L. japonica and offer demonstrating to other Chinese herbal medicines.

Genetic factors may influence the effect of environmental factors on risk of developing type 2 diabetes. This review focused on the latest evidence of the interaction effect of genes and the environmental factors on type 2 diabetes.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of acupuncture combined with vibroacoustic therapy on upper limb spasticity post stroke. Methods From November, 2014 to November, 2015, 90 patients with upper limb spasticity post stroke were randomized into treat-ment group (acupuncture combined with vibroacoustic therapy), control 1 group (simple vibroacoustic therapy) and control 2 group (simple acupuncture) with 30 cases in each group. All the patients accepted routine fundamental treatment and rehabilitation training. The modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and modified Barthel Index (MBI) were used to assess the upper limb muscle ten-sion, motor function and activities of daily living before and four weeks after treatment. Results After treatment, MAS score decreased in all groups (Z>3.067, P<0.001), and FMA score and MBI score increased (t>3.326, P<0.01). MAS score decreased more (Z>2.919, P<0.01), and FMA score and MBI score increased more (P<0.05) in the treatment group than in the control groups after treatment. However, there was no significant difference between the control groups (P>0.05). The total effective rate was 80%in the treatment group, 50%in the control group 1 and 53%in the control group 2 (χ2=8.573, P=0.014), respectively. Conclusion Acupuncture combined with vibroacoustic therapy can alleviate the upper limb spasticity, and promote the recovery of motor function and activities of daily living.

Objective To study the application of heart rate(HR) and rating of perceived exertion(RPE) scale in monitoring the physical fatigue in the divers during the 100 msw heliox saturation diving. Methods The 100 msw pressure environment was simulated by a 500 msw saturation diving system: pressure was 1.1 MPa; oxygen partial pressure was 35-52 kPa; carbon dioxide partial pressure was <0.5 kPa;the temperature during exposure to high pressure was (31.0±1.7)℃;and the relative humidity was (76.8±3.5)%. Respiratory gas was heliox. The 18 divers' HR and the scores of RPE scale were recorded at 6 time points, including (1)the day before the subjects entered the chamber; (2) the first day that the subjects were exposed to 100 msw pressure environment; (3) the peak of the subject physical exercise load test under 100 msw pressure environment; (4) the second day under 100 msw pressure environment; (5) the first day that the subjects were out of the chamber; and (6) the seventh day that the subjects were out of the chamber. All the data were analyzed with paired-samples t-test. The correlation was analyzed with Pearson correlation. Results From the day before the subjects entered the chamber to the first day that the subjects were exposed to 100 msw pressure environment, the resting HR of subjects was significantly decreased (P<0.05); From the first day that the subjects were out of the chamber to the seventh day that the subjects were out of the chamber, the resting HR was significantly increased (P<0.05). Significant differences were also found in the basic RPE score of the subjectes between before entering the chamber and after entering the chamber(P<0.05). During the 100 msw heliox saturation, with the variable physical work loads, the trend of of heart rate changes was still in accordance with the score of RPE scale, with that measured at the peak of the subject physical exercise load test under 100 msw pressure being significantly different from that measured at the first day the subjects were exposed to 100msw pressure (P<0.05).The RPE score was significantly related with the HR of divers (r=0.734, P<0.01). Conclusion The combined application of HR and RPE scale can monitor the physical fatigue of the divers during 100msw heliox saturation diving.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of progressive resistance exercise for improving the lower limb motor function of hemiplegic stroke patients. Methods Eighty-nine hemiplegic patients were randomly divided into a treatment group (n =46) and a control group ( n = 43 ) . Both groups received routine rehabilitation training, while the treatment group also undertook progressive resistance training. The control group received extra quadriceps femoris training. Before and after the treatment, motor function was evaluated with the Fugl-Meyer lower limb assessment, functional ambulation category (FAC) classification and the modified Barthel index (MBI). Results Before intervention, there were no significant differences between the two groups in any of the assessments. Four weeks later, all the assessment scores obtained with the Fugl-Meyer lower limb assessment, FCA classification and MBI in the treatment group were significantly better than those in the control group. Conclusion Progressive resistance training combined with routine rehabilitation treatment can improve motor function in the lower limbs, ambulation and ability in the activities of daily living of hemiplegic patients after stroke.
