Objective To evaluate the factors influencing the reproducibility and validity of food group intakes measured by a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) for Chinese men. Methods A total of 214 adult men were randomly selected from the Shanghai Men Health Study (SMHS), an ongoing cohort study conducted in urban Shanghai. Each subject who had completed the first FFQ survey at recruitment took 24-hour dietary recall (24-HDR) surveys which were conducted once a month for 12 consecutive months and a second FFQ at the end of the study. Two FFQs were administered approximately 1.2 years apart. The food items listed in FFQ and obtained from 24-HDR were categorized into 11 food groups. The factors influencing the reproducibility of the FFQ was assessed by comparing the Pearson correlation of intake levels from the two FFQs, while the factors influencing the validity was evaluated by comparing intake levels from the second FFQ with the multiple 24-HDRs. Results A total of 195 men completed all 12 times of 24-HDR and twice FFQ surveys. The median Pearson correlation coefficients of the food groups between the two FFQs in older vs younger age group were 0.62 vs 0.50;in higher vs lower education level group were 0.58 vs 0.50;in higher vs lower income group were 0.51 vs 0.50;in higher vs lower BMI group were 0.50 vs 0.49. The median Pearson correlation coefficients of the food groups between the second FFQ and 24-HDRs in older vs younger age group were 0.61 vs 0.45;in higher vs lower education level group were 0.49 vs 0.47;in higher vs lower income group were 0.43 vs 0.57;in higher vs lower BMI group were 0.48 vs 0.51. Conclusions Age is the main factor influencing the reproducibility of the food group intakes by a FFQ used in the SMHS, while the factors influencing the validity are age and family income.

OBJECTIVE:To provide references for the revision of pharmaceutical talents training plan in higher vocational colleges. METHODS:Selecting parts of freshmen,sophomores and junior students majoring in pharmacy in our hospital as subjects, questionnaires were conducted for the effect of hospital“pharmacy trusteeship”policy on their employment selection,and the results were statistically analyzed. RESULTS:Totally 190,390,320 questionnaires were received from junior students,sophomores and freshmen. The surveyed students knew less about“pharmacy trusteeship”policy,only a maximum by junior students of 35.79%(comparison of different grades P<0.05);while among the surveyed students from different career directions,the highest awareness rate about“pharmacy trusteeship”policy was from the students whose hospital pharmacy(41.30%-45.21%)(comparison of different career direction P>0.05). The career direction of hospital pharmacy had the highest proportion of surveyed students in each grade(38.42%-53.13%),especially the freshmen(comparison of different grades P<0.05,comparison of different career direction in a same grade P<0.05). But after knowing the policy,the surveyed students had the lowest recognition for the original career direction,especially the junior students(64.38%)(comparison of different career direction P<0.05). The surveyed freshmen and sophomores were firstly concerned the stability and then the welfare and income of the job,the surveyed junior students were firstly concerned the welfare and income and then authorized strength and the stability of the job. CONCLUSIONS:The pharmacy trusteeship policy has not yet been fully implemented,its effect on employment selection of higher vocational students majoring in pharmacy is relatively backward and the deeper effects have not been appeared completely.

In this study, the current status for breast diseases in a region with high-incidence of cervical cancer were epidemiologically investigated. From March to August, 2009, 17618 women, from Wufeng area of Hubei province, China, were recruited to screen breast diseases by using breast infrared diagnostic apparatus. Other diagnostic methods, such as B-mode ultrasound, X-ray mammography, needle biopsy and pathological examination were, if necessary, used to further confirm the diagnosis. The screening showed that 5990 of 17618 cases (34.00%) had breast diseases, 5843 (33.16%) had mammary gland hyperplasia, 48 (0.27%) had breast fibroadenoma, 11 (0.06%) had breast carcinoma, and 88 (0.50%) had other breast diseases. The peak morbidity of breast cancer was found in the women aged 50-60 ages. The morbidity of breast cancer was significantly increased in women elder than or equal to 50 years old (n=8, 0.157%) in comparison with that in the subjects younger than 50 years old (n=3, 0.024%) (u=2.327, P<0.05). It was shown that the occurrence of breast diseases was concentrated in women aged 20-40 years, while the total morbidity reached its peak at the age of 30 years and then decreased sharply after age of 40. Compared with the patients elder than or equal to 40 years old (n=3289, 27.46%), the morbidity rate of breast diseases was significantly increased in women less than 40 years old (2648 cases, 47.18%; P<0.001). However, there was no significant difference in the morbidity of breast diseases between the age group of 20-29 years and that of 30-39 years (P=0.453), and both of them were high. There was no significant association between the morbidity of breast diseases and cervical cancer. Since the morbidity of breast diseases was higher among young women, more attention should be paid to the screening of breast diseases among young women for early diagnosis.
