Objective To understand the efficiency of defluoridation facilities used in drinking water defluoridation in the rural high fluoride areas in Tianjin and the sanitary characteristics of treated drinking water. Methods The raw water samples and treated water samples were collected from 4 water stations where the electrodialysis technics was applied and 6 water stations where the reverse osmosis technics was applied and the facilities had been operated for 2-3 years in a county, as well as 3 water stations applied activated aluminium oxide adsorption technics and 2 water stations applied nanofiltration membrane technics in the other counties in Tianjin in 2002-2004. The pH value,turbidity, total dissolved solids, total hardness, fluoride, sulfate, aluminium, in all water samples were determined and evaluated according to the Sanitary Standard for Drinking Water(2001). Results The treated water samples from electrodialysis and reverse osmosis defluoridation facilities showed lower fluoride level(below 1.0 mg/L with fluoride removal rates of 90.01% and 75.32%),and lower total dissolved solids and total hardness levels with removal rates of 75.83%-93.48%. The treated water samples from nanofiltration membrane defluoridation facilities also showed lower fluoride level(below 1.0 mg/L with fluoride removal rates of 75.16%,and lower total dissolved solids and total hardness levels with removal rates of 64.90% and 77.22% respectively. Conclusion The investigated electrodialysis, reverse osmosis and nanofiltration membrane defluoridation facilities show a reliable efficiency and are suitable for application of removal of fluoride in drinking water with different levels of total dissolved solids in the rural high fluoride areas. The effects of defluoridated water produced by reverse osmosis defluoridation facilities on human health need to be studied further more.

Objective To study the influence of different time of lavipeditum with traditional Chinese medicine on recovery of gastrointestinal function right after cesarean section, to find the best lavipeditum time and improve the therapeutic effect of lavipeditum with traditional Chinese medicine. Methods 388 cases parturents after cesarean section were selected and were randomly divided into the observation group(200 cases)and the control group(188 cases)according to their bed number. The observation group began lavipeditum with Chinese medicine 6 hours after operation, and was scheduled 7:00-8:00 in the morning, 21:00-22:00 in the evening, lasted 20 minutes every time for consecutive 3 to 5 days. the control group started lavipeditum with Chinese medicine one day after operation, and continued lavipeditum any time they wanted. lasted 20 minutes every time for consecutive 3 to 5 days. Recovery of intestinal function were com-pared between the two groups. Results Postoperative recovery time of bowel sounds, anal exhaust time for the first time, the first defecation time, appetite and sleep quality three days after operation in the observation group were beuer compared with the control group. Conclusions Timing of lavipeditum with Chinese medicine is more effective for recovery of gastrointestinal function after cesarean section, it embodies the importance of time medicine and reach best aims.

Methods Stroke patients (64 cases) were selected from Yuetan community as the rehabilitation group by objective sampling based on inclusive and exclusive standard and 64 stroke patients wre selected from other community in Xicheng district as the control group. At the same time, 16 doctors and nurses from 10 clinics of Yuetan community health service center were trained and they gave reha-bilitative intervention to the rehabilitation group. After intervention for 6 months, the effect of rehabilitative in-tervention was evaluated compared with the control group who did not receive rehabilitative intervention. Re-suits The Fugl-Meyer score of the rehabilitation group was (76.14±12.48), the score of the control group was (19.36±14.32),which had significant difference compared with the rehabilitation group, P < 0.05. The Batthel index of the rehabilitation group was (72.25±10.22), the index of the control group was (22.62±9.71),which was significantly different from that of the rehabilitation group, P < 0.05.Besidcs, the rate of knowing health knowledge and healthy exercise in the rehabilitation group was higher than that of the control group, P < 0.05. Condusions The rehabilitation information net and systemic community rehabilitation intervention can im-prove the motor ability and the ability of daily activity for patients with stroke.

Objective To investigate the dietary intakes of postoperative patients with digestive malignant tumor during their recovery at home and explores the correlation of the intakes with the food nutritional knowledge of their primary family care-givers.Methods A total of 108 primary caregivers of prospective patients with digestive malignant tumors were selected for a sur-vey conducted at home from October 2022 to March 2023 in Guangzhou,from two tertiary hospitals.In this cross-sectional study,this paper investigated these caregivers using its general information questionnaire,a nutritional knowledge-attitude-behavior ques-tionnaire,and a simple dietary self-assessment tool(SDSAT).Results The SDSAT score of the patients was collected(4.16±1.22).Significant differences were observed among patients with various tumor types in terms of the recovery time at home after surgery.The total score of family primary caregivers'nutritional knowledge,attitude,and behavior was(47.64±6.97).Pearson's correlation analysis revealed a positive correlation between the knowledge of dietary guidelines and the patient's dietary intakes during home stay(r=0.285,P<0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that caregivers'knowledge of dieta-ry guidelines significantly influenced the dietary intake of the prospective patients.Conclusion It is essential to regularly monitor the dietary intake of prospective patients at home.Medical personnel can concentrate on intervening with the patient's caregivers and encouraging them to participate in nutrition management together.This approach can improve the quality of family care and the nutritional status of the patients.

Chorea is a rare adverse effect of phenytoin and is common in children, with widely variable clinical presentations. This article reported a case of an elderly woman presented chorea without nystagmus, ataxia, dysarthria and other typical vestibular-cerebellar symptoms, who took compound theophylline and ephedrine contained phenytoin to treat asthma for 1 year. The serum phenytoin concentrations were at toxic levels and chorea disappeared within 3 days after discontinuation of the drug. The clinical features of previously reported cases of phenytoin-induced chorea were also summarized.

OBJECTIVETo clone and express the recombinant capsid protein VP2 of enterovirus type 71 (EV71) and to identify the immune activity of expressed protein in order to build a basis for the investigation work of vaccine and diagnostic antigen.
METHODSVP2 gene of EV71 was amplified by PCR, and then was cut by restriction enzyme and inserted into expression vector pMAL-c2X. The positive recombinants were transferred into E.coli TB1, the genetically engineered bacteria including pMAL-c2X-VP2 plasmids were induced by isopropyl thiogalactoside ( IPTG) , and the expression products were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and western blotting method. EV71 IgM antibody detection method by ELISA was set up, and the sensitivity and specificity of this method was assessed; 60 neutralizing antibody positive serum samples from hand foot and mouth disease (HFMD) patients were determined, of which 52 samples were positive and 8 samples were negative; a total of 88 acute phase serum samples of HFMD patients diagnosed in clinical were also detected.
RESULTSVP2 gene of 762 bp was obtained by PCR, the gene segment inserted into the recombinant vector was identified using restriction enzyme digestion. The recombinant vector could express a specific about 71 500 fusion protein in E.coli by SDS-PAGE. The purified recombinant protein of EV71-VP2 can react with the serum of HFMD patients to produce a specific band by western blotting. The sensitivity and specificity of ELISA was 87% and 83%, respectively. Of the 88 acute phase serum samples from children with HFMD, 48 samples (55%) were positive by the ELISA assay.
CONCLUSIONSVP2 gene of EV71 has been cloned and a prokaryotic high expression system for VP2 gene was successfully constructed in the present study. The recombination EV71-VP2 has well antigenicity, which could be useful for developing diagnose reagent or vaccine of EV71.
