Conclusion This method was satisfactorily applied to determination of resorcinol in waste water.

Objective:To observe the efficacy of cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells on patients with advanced lung cancer. Methods:A total of 90 patients with advanced lung cancer were identified from January 2011 to December 2013. CIK therapy was given to 41 pa-tients in the observation group, whereas the other 49 patients in the control group received the best support treatments without che-motherapy or radiotherapy within one month of inclusion. Following up was conducted for the patients in the two groups, and KPS scores, median survival, and adverse reactions compared. Results:The KPS score in the observation group was higher than that of the control group after treatment (P=0.034). The median survival period of the observation group was eight months, which was one month longer than that of the control group (P=0.044). Major adverse reactions included fever, joint pain, and insomnia, which were recorded 51.22%, 36.58%, and 29.27%of occurrence, respectively. Conclusion:CIK cell therapy improved the quality of life and pro-longed the survival of advanced lung cancer patients with tolerable adverse reactions.

A creatininase produced from a Arthrobacter sp. was purified 145-fold by a series of steps including heat treatment, ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-Cellulose ion-exchange and hydrophobic chromatography. The specific activity of the pure enzyme was 209u/mg. The subunit molecular mass of creatininase was estimated to be 33 700D by SDS-PAGE. The creatininase was stable in the pH range between 6.0 - 9.0 and below 60 degrees C . Its Km value for creatinine was estimated to be 21.14 mmol/L. The enzyme was markedly inactivated by incubation with 1 mmol/L of Hg2+, Ag2+, Li+, Cu2+ and 20 mmol/L of 1, 11-Phananthroline respectively. Activation was observed when the enzyme was incubated with 1 mmol/L of Co2+ and Mn2+.

Township and Village Health Services Integration Management (TVHSIM) is an essential form of China's two-tiered health service integration plan at the township and village level.Its main purpose,also one of the target goals in China's new healthcare reform,is to gradually integrate rural health services and appropriately allocate rural health resources.This study aims to assess the village doctors' satisfaction with the TVHSIM and provide scientific base to further improve TVHSIM.A cross-sectional study was carried out in which 162 village doctors from Qinghai,Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang in western China were interviewed.Descriptive analysis,independent t-test,one-way ANOVA,Spearman rank correlation and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the difference and relevance between village doctors' personal characteristics and their satisfaction with TVHSIM and six subscales.Village doctors with different years of practice,social insurance status and essential medical knowledge level showed statistically significant differences in their satisfaction levels (all P＜0.05).Age (P＜0.05) and years of practice (P＜0.01) were negatively correlated with Drug and Medical Device Management and Financing Management.Essential medical knowledge level (P＜0.05) was negatively correlated with Operations Management as well.However,social insurance status (P＜0.05) was positively correlated with Human Resources Management and Drug and Medical Device management.Gender,age and years of practice respectively had significant influence on village doctors' satisfaction with TVHSIM (P＜0.01).In conclusion,in order to further promote TVHSIM policy in rural China,a well-rounded social insurance model for village doctors is urgently needed.In addition,the development of TVHSIM is regionally imbalanced.Efficient and effective measures aiming at rationalizing gender and age structure and enhancing essential medical training should be carefully considered.

Objective:To explore the effect of combined family participatory care in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) premature infants.Methods:By convenience sampling method, a total of 120 cases of premature infants admitted to NICU of Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2017 to December 2019 were selected. According to the admission time, 60 cases of premature infants and their families admitted from January 2017 to June 2018 were included in the control group, and 60 cases of premature infants and their families admitted from July 2018 to December 2019 were included in the observation group. Family participatory care was implemented in the control group. The standard process of family participatory nursing under the guidance of clinical nursing path was formulated and standardized in the observation group. The hospitalization time and feeding status of premature infants in the two groups were compared. The neonatal neurobehavioral ability, caregiver care ability and parents' satisfaction of the two groups were evaluated by the Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment (NBNA) , the parents' care ability questionnaire and the Measure of Processes of Care (MPOC-20) .Results:The NBNA score, daily milk intake, exclusive breastfeeding rate, caregiver knowledge, care ability and the total score of the observation group were all higher than those of the control group, while the length of hospital stay, total enteral nutrition time and feeding intolerance rate of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group. All the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Clinical nursing pathway combined with family participation nursing is conducive to improving the neurobehavioral ability of NICU premature infants, reducing hospital stays, improving feeding conditions and the care ability and satisfaction of carers.

This study was purposed to investigate the angiogenin (ANG) expression in COS-7 cells and its biological activity. The gene of angiogenin was obtained from mononuclear cells of peripheral blood by using RT-PCR and inserted into eukaryotic expression vector of pcDNA3.1. After being transfected into COS-7 cells, the recombinant ANG was identified by Western blot assay. The function of promoting proliferation of ANG to ECV304 cells was detected by MTT method, and its activity of vascularization was analyzed by chick embryo chorioallantois treated by the culture supernatant after transfection with pcDNA3.1-ang. The result showed that recombinant ANG was expressed in COS-7 cells after transfection for 24 to 36 hours. It could specifically react with monoclonal antibody against ANG. The recombinant ANG could obviously promote the proliferation of ECV304 cells. In contrast with the control group, the culture supernatant of pcDNA3.1-ang transfected group could stimulate the angiogenesis in embryo chorioallantois. It is concluded that the ang transiently expresses in COS-7 cells, and its expression product obviously stimulates the cell proliferation and angiogenesis.

Objective: To assess the early experience and clinical value of left anteriolateral minor thoracotomy minimally invasive directly coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) for treating multi-vessel lesion coronary artery disease (CAD) with bilateral internal mammary artery (BITA). Methods: Our research included in 2 groups: MIDCABG group, n=38 consecutive patients received left anteriolateral minor thoracotomy MIDCAB with BITA in our hospital from 2015-05 to 2017-01 and Control group, n=236 patients received conventional off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) by the same surgeon at same period. Peri-operative condition and relevant complications were compared between 2 groups. Results: In MIDCAB group, the success rate for harvesting BIMA was 94.7% (36/38), the mean time for harvesting right internal mammary artery (RIMA) and LIMA were (42.3±10.5) min and (35.2±8.3) min respectively; a total of 78 grafts were made in 38 patients with the mean of (2.05±0.31) graft/patient, no patient was switching to conventional CABG during the operation. Compared with Control group, MIDCAB group had reduced post-operative mechanical ventilation time (8.9±3.8) h vs (23.6±15.9) h, ICU stay time (29.3±20.8) h vs (56.5±38.3) h and hospital stay time (11.3±3.2) d vs (15.7±4.2) d, all P<0.05; while the incidence of peri-operative MACCE including death, myocardial infarction (MI), revascularization, cerebrovascular accident and poor incision healing were similar between 2 groups, P>0.05. No occlusion of anastomotic stoma was found by post-operative coronary angiography in neither group. The patients were followed-up for the average of 3 months, no death, angina or MI occurred. Conclusion: Through left anterolateral small incision, we can successfully get bilateral internal mammary artery and complete beating heart multi branch CABG.

BACKGROUNDSpinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are a group of neurodegenerative disorders that primarily cause the degeneration in the cerebellum, spinal cord, and brainstem. We study the clinical characteristics, radiological features and gene mutation in Chinese families with SCAs.

METHODSIn this study, we investigated 10 SCAs Chinese families with SCA1, SCA3/Machado-Joseph disease (MJD), SCA7, SCA8. There were 27 people who were genetically diagnosed as SCA, of which 21 people showed clinical symptoms, and 6 people had no clinical phenotype that we called them presymptomatic patients. In addition, 3 people with cerebellar ataxia and cataracts were diagnosed according to the Harding diagnostic criteria but failed to be recognized as SCAs on genetic testing. Clinical characteristic analyses of each type of SCAs and radiological examinations were performed.

RESULTSWe found that SCA3/MJD was the most common subtype in Han population in China, and the ratio of the pontine tegmentum and the posterior fossa area was negatively correlated with the number of cytosine-adenine-guanine (CAG) repeats; the disease duration was positively correlated with the International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale score; and the CAG repeats number of abnormal alleles was negatively correlated with the age of onset.

CONCLUSIONSCollectively our study is a systematic research on SCAs in China, which may help for the clinical diagnosis and prenatal screening of this disease, and it may also aid toward better understanding of this disease.

Results After eleven years of carrying out the new strategy,thirteen counties achieved the objective of transmission control in Poyang Lake region. In 2016,the number of schistosomiasis cases and human infection rate were 10301 and 0.03％,decreased by 89.64％and 99.45％compared with those in 2005,respectively. The number of cattle and schistosome-infected cattle were 68152 and 5,decreased by 50.84％and 99.83％compared with those in 2005,respectively. The average density of Oncomelania hupensis snails was decreased by 61.52％. No schistosome-infected snails were found since 2014. Con-clusion The new strategy accurately locates the key points and targets of schistosomiasis transmission chain ,which has con-trolled the human and animal's fecal eggs from polluting grassland,and cut off the transmission chain,reduced both the infec-tion rates of human and animal and the re-infection risk,and promoted to achieve the target of schistosomiasis transmission con-trol in Poyang Lake region.

Objective To explore the situation and question of standardized training of residents/graduate students in cardiac surgery by questionnaire survey. Methods From September 2010 to May 2012, 61 resident physicians/graduate students were chosen as research objects in Department of Cardiac Surgery, Peking University Third Hospital. A total of 61 questionnaires were sent out, with a recovery rate of 100%,and an effective rate of 95.1%.The contents of investigation included standardized training content design, standardized training management, the time and"environment" pressure, compliance training effect analysis,student opinion and others,a total of 14 options.EpiData 2.1a software was used to sort and record the data. SPSS 17.0 software was used for statistical analysis. The enumeration data were compared by chi square test.Results During the period of training,the most expected teaching method was"small lecture", accounting for 63.8%; The most difficult part of the process of cardiac surgery training was "postoperative care", accounting for 69%; 100% of the trainees thought that it would be helpful for future work through cardiac training;8.3% of the trainees thought the teachers of cardiac surgery teaching consciousness was not strong; resident weekend "in the hospital" was higher than the proportion of graduate students, and most graduate students chose weekend "in the experiment and research work", the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Appropriate standardized training program should be combined with the students' background; Teaching team construction and clinical reasonable and effective clinical skills train-ing system is an important link to ensure the quality of teaching.The combination of residents' standardized training and postgraduate education of professional degree remains to be tracked and evaluated in a long time.The feedback from all aspects of the training should be paid more attention to,and the training details should be improved.
