α-HgS is the main component of traditional Chinese medicine cinnabar, while β-HgS is the main component of Tibetan medicine Zuotai. However, there was no comparative study on the dissolution and absorption in gastrointestinal tract and bioaccumulation in organs of mercury in Cinnabar, Zuotai, α-HgS and β-HgS. In this study, the dissolution process of the four compounds in the human gastrointestinal tract was simulated to determine the mercury dissolutions and compare the mercury dissolution of different medicines and the dissolution-promoting capacity of different solutions. To explore the absorption and bioaccumulation of cinnabar and Zuotai in organisms, mice were orally administered with clinical equivalent doses cinnabar and Zuotai. Meanwhile, a group of mice was given α-HgS and β-HgS with the equivalent mercury with cinnabar, while another group was given β-HgS and HgCl2 with the equivalent mercury with Zuotai. The mercury absorption and bioaccumulation capacities of different medicines in mice and their mercury bioaccumulation in different tissues and organs were compared. The experimental results showed a high mercury dissolutions of Zuotai in artificial gastrointestinal fluid, which was followed by β-HgS, cinnabar and α-HgS. As for the mercury absorption and bioaccumulation in mice, HgCl2 was the highest, β-HgS was the next, and a-HgS was slightly higher than cinnabar. The organs with the mercury bioaccumulation from high to low were kidney, liver and brain. This study is close to clinical practices and can provide reference for the clinical safe medication as well as a study model for the safety evaluation on heavy metal-containing medicines by observing the mercury dissolution, absorption, distribution and accumulation of mercury-containing medicines cinnabar and zuotai.

Objective · To investigate the prevalence of smoking and awareness of smoking hazards in a community-based elderly population in Changning District, Shanghai. Methods · A total of 1809 subjects were randomly selected from 18 communities based on the chronic non-communicable diseases cohort in an elderly population aged 65 and over in Changning District, Shanghai. Information on smoking status, health condition and awareness of smoking hazards were obtained through face to face interviews. Chi-square tests and non-conditional Logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the risk factors of the awareness of smoking hazards and current smoking status. Results · The overall prevalence of current smoking was 15.6% among the investigated elderly population. Smoking prevalence was significantly higher in men than that in women (30.0% vs 2.1%, P=0.000). Also, it was higher in the men aged 65-69 than that in those aged 70 and over (34.3% vs 20.4%, P=0.000). The participants with middle school education had the highest prevalence (19.1%) in the population. Overall, the proportion of participants who knew "smoking causes heart disease" "smoking causes stroke"and "smoking causes cancer" was 45.1%, 43.3% and 64.4%, respectively. Among the participants, 36.4% knew all the three smoking hazards. With the confounders such as age and gender being adjusted, current smoking behavior was associated with the participants' awareness of smoking hazards (OR=0.74,P=0.000). Conclusion · Currently, the awareness of smoking hazards is generally low in Shanghai elderly population, especially in those with lower education level and current smoking behavior. More targeted educational interventions are necessary in specific population.

Pulverized coal reburning, ammonia injection and advanced reburning in a pilot scale drop tube furnace were investigated. Premix of petroleum gas, air and NH3 were burned in a porous gas burner to generate the needed flue gas. Four kinds of pulverized coal were fed as reburning fuel at constant rate of 1g/min. The coal reburning process parameters including 15% approximately 25% reburn heat input, temperature range from 1100 degrees C to 1400 degrees C and also the carbon in fly ash, coal fineness, reburn zone stoichiometric ratio, etc. were investigated. On the condition of 25% reburn heat input, maximum of 47% NO reduction with Yanzhou coal was obtained by pure coal reburning. Optimal temperature for reburning is about 1300 degrees C and fuel-rich stoichiometric ratio is essential; coal fineness can slightly enhance the reburning ability. The temperature window for ammonia injection is about 700 degrees C approximately 1100 degrees C. CO can improve the NH3 ability at lower temperature. During advanced reburning, 72.9% NO reduction was measured. To achieve more than 70% NO reduction, Selective Non-catalytic NO(x) Reduction (SNCR) should need NH3/NO stoichiometric ratio larger than 5, while advanced reburning only uses common dose of ammonia as in conventional SNCR technology. Mechanism study shows the oxidization of CO can improve the decomposition of H2O, which will rich the radical pools igniting the whole reactions at lower temperatures.

Objective To evaluate the risk of hepatitis B virus(HBV) infection among preschool children who were the non-responders to hepatitis B vaccine in future. Methods A prospective cohort study was conducted. Children aged 2 to 5 years were selected from 64 kindergartens.These children were inoculated three doses of hepatitis b vaccine at 0, 1 and 6 months after birth. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)and Hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs)were detected during the period from March to May 2015. The children who were HBsAg negative were enrolled in the study. The subjects were divided into exposure group (anti-HBs negative) and control group (anti-HBs positive) . The follow-up began on June 1, 2015 and ended on June 1, 2016. Serum HBsAg of children in the cohort was then collected and detected from June 1 to 30, 2016. At the end of the study, the HBsAg positive rates between two groups were compared. Results 83 children who received hepatitis B vaccine again during the follow-up period were excluded from 1 907 non-responders. The actual number in non-responders group was 1 824. 151 children were lost at the end of the study. The actual number of follow-up was 1 673 and 5 children were found to be positive for HBsAg and the infection rate was 0.30% (5/1673). In the respondent goup, 2 054 were enrolled and followed. Finally, 140 children were lost and none of the remaining 1 914 people were HBsAg positive at the end of the study. HBsAg positive rate was higher in the non-responder group than in the responder group (P=0.023). Conclusion There is a risk of HBV infection in the children who are non-responders to hepatitis B vaccine in future.

Objective:To explore the positive rate of scanning laser ophthalmoscope in the retromode (RM-SLO) in different types of diabetic macular edema (DME), and to analyze its correlation with foveal thickness (CMT) and macular volume.Methods:From March to May 2021, 40 patients (65 eyes) were diagnosed as DME by fundus examination combined with optical coherence tomography (OCT) in Affiliated Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University at Hangzhou were included in the study. All eyes underwent best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), OCT and RM-SLO fundus imaging examinations, 47 eyes underwent fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA) examination. RM-SLO fundus imaging examinations were performed with Mirante SLO, including retro mode illumination deviated right (RMDR) and retro mode illumination deviated left (RMDL). If one or more of the RMDR and RMDL of the examined patient can identify macular edema, RM-SLO was considered to be able to identify macular edema. The macular volume at CMT and 6 mm from the fovea was measured by OCT software. DME were divided into 3 types based on OCT images: diffuse retinal thinkening (DRT) type; cystoid macular edema(CME) type; serous retinal detachment (SRD) type, focal leakage type, diffuse leakage type and diffuse cystic leakage type. The consistency of RMDR and RMDL in the diagnosis of DME in RM-SLO fundus imaging was evaluated, as well as their positive rate in different classifications of DME. The correlation between the detection of macular edema by RM-SLO and the DME type, CMT and foveal volume, and the correlation between BCVA and edema type, CMT and macular volume were analyzed.Results:Among 65 eyes, the positive rates of RMDR and RMDL fundus imaging to detect DME were 46 (70.77%, 46/65) and 48 (73.85%, 48/65), respectively. There was good consistency in identifying DME (Kappa value=0.770; P<0.001). The positive rates of RMDR and RMDL fundus imaging DRT, CME and SRD type of DME were 42.11% (8/19), 57.89% (11/19), 77.78% (28/36), 77.78% (28/36), 100.00% (10/10), 90.00% (9/10), respectively. In the FFA classification of them, the positive rates of focal leakage, diffuse leakage and diffuse cystic leakage were 68.75% (11/16), 62.50% (10/16), 68.00% (17/25), 76.00% (19/25), 100.00% (6/6), 100.00% (6/6), respectively. The results of Spearman correlation analysis showed that whether RM-SLO could identify DME was associated with CMT and OCT classification ( r=0.310, 0.365; P=0.120, 0.003); there was no correlation between FFA classification and macular volume ( r=0.113, 0.117; P=0.449, 0.352). BCVA was correlated with CMT and macular volume ( r=0.307, 0.269; P=0.013, 0.030), however, there was no significant correlation with OCT type, angiographic type ( r=0.051, 0.175; P=0.684, 0.240). Conclusion:The diagnostic agreement of DME are good between RMDR, RMDL of RM-SLO image. DME of DRT type and patients with smaller CMT in OCT are difficult to identified by RM-SLO fundus imaging.

Influenza virus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) is essential for replication and expression of influenza virus genome. Viral genomic sequences encoding RdRP are highly conservative, thus making it a potential anti-influenza drug target. A cell-based influenza RdRP inhibitor screening assay was established by a luciferase reporter system to analyze the activity of RdRP. Specificity study and statistic analysis showed that the screening assay is sensitive and reproducible.
