Chinese Journal of Endemiology 2013;32(5):569-571
Objective By X-ray measurement of metacarpal and phalange bones in the right hand of adult patients with Kaschin-Beck disease in Qinghai Province,to provide anatomic data and information for clinic diagnosis of the disease and application of hand surgery.Methods Fifty-four cases of adult patients with Kaschin-Beck disease,who came from Guide County and Xinghai County in Hainan Prefecture,Qinghai Province,were selected as investigation subjects,then their right hand X-ray film were taken,metacarpal and phalange bones were measured by electronic digital vernier caliper.All data were analyzed with SPSS 19.0.Results The axis length of the metacarpal bones was in the order of:the 2nd metacarpal > 3rd metacarpal > 4th metacarpal > 5th metacarpal > first metacarpal.The axis length of proximal phalange bones was in the order of:the middle finger proximal > ring finger proximal > index finger proximal > little finger proximal > proximal thumb,while the middle,distal phalanx axis length varied greatly.The length of metacarpal and phalange bones of all male was longer than that of female(all P < 0.01).The width of the metacarpal bones was in the order of:the 2nd metacarpal > 3rd metacarpal > 5th metacarpal > 4th metacarpal.The width of the 2nd-5th metacarpal of male and female was (8.57 ± 0.90),(8.25 ± 0.80),(6.84 ± 0.69),(7.70 ± 0.77)mm and (7.40 ± 0.74),(7.36 ± 0.70),(6.00 ± 0.57),(6.62 ± 0.65)mm,respectively,the differences were significant(t =5.24,4.32,4.85,5.55,all P < 0.01).The matacarpal bone index of female[(8.23 ± 0.90)mm] was significantly larger than that of male[(7.61 ± 0.76)mm,t =2.73,P < 0.01].Conclusion X-ray measurement of hand may provide reference information for diagnosis of Kaschin-Beck disease and determination of metacarpal and phalange length in hand surgery.
2.Investigation on Kashin-Beck disease in Xinghai County,Qinghai Province in 2006
Chinese Journal of Endemiology 2008;27(6):681-682
Objective By investigating newly diagnosed Kashin-beck disease,to understand distribution range,epidemic intensity and prevalence trend of Kashin-Beck disease(KBD)in Xinghai County.Method According to monitoring method on national KBD,we carried on epidemical investigation,clinical examination and X-ray photograph on school children aged 7-13 years in 6 villages from 4 towns in Xinghai County,and hair,grain,water and soil were sampled to detect selenium content using naphthalene fluorescence.Resuit Three hundred and seventy.three school children aged 7-13 years underwent the clinical examination,the prevalence rate was 12.06%(45/373);347 school children were went on X-ray,the detection rate of X-ray was 21.61%(75/347).The selenium content was the lowest in Quanqu Village,Ziketan Town,which were(77.70±42.04),(7.44±6.93)μg/kg respectively;the selenium content Was highest in Cainaihai Village,Qushian Town,which were(103.88±58.57),(29.58±24.11)μg/kg respectively;level of in internal and external environment in 4 KBD region were all low.Conclusion These four region are new KBD region.The prevalence state of KBD is serious,pathogenetic factor of Kashin-Beck disease is very active.

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation(ANAMMOX)is a new process of nitrogen conversion that has prospect most currently.The AN- AMMOX process offers great opportunities to remove ammonia from wastewater without the addition of an external carbon source and with con- siderable less aeration costs in comparison with classical methods.ANAMMOX is a biologically mediated process.Three bacteria are identi- fied responsible for the process as new deep-branching planctomycete:Brocadia,Kuenenia and Scalindua.Described it to separate and the method,biochemistry path,the ecosystem physiology characteristic for authenticate and distribute.

Objective MRI was a powerful technique for evaluation of the meniscus injury.However,meniscal injuries were the most common reason for arthroscopy of the knee.The research was to reveal the relationship between the classification on MRI and the morphological changes of the meniscus injury under the arthroscopy in order to indicate the surgical procedures according to the MRI degree of meniscus in-juries.Methods From October2000to December2001,157knees of152cases with meniscus tears were analyzed retrospectively,who were classified into the osteoarthritis group and sport injury group depending on the causes of injury.There were107knees in osteoarthritis group,50knees in sport injury group.All cases were made MRI examination with T 1 and T 2 sequences,and152of them underwent arthroscopic oper-ation.According to the different signal intensity,changes of contour and edge of meniscus,juried meniscus were divided into four degrees,referring to the standard described by Stoller.The conditions of torn menis-cus were observe and recorded while performing arthroscopy in order to compare with that on MRI.Results The MRI classification in osteoarthritis group,there were gradeⅠin21knees,gradeⅡin34knees,gradeⅢin40knees,and gradeⅣin12knees;Depending on the exploration in arthroscopy,the accurate rate of diagnosis of MRI for meniscus injury was100%(21/21)for gradeⅠ,91.2%(31/34)for gradeⅡ,92.5%(37/40)for gradeⅢand100%(12/12)for gradeⅣ.The patients with gradeⅢand gradeⅣinjury of the meniscus all underwent the operation of arthroscopy.The MRI classification in sport injury group,there were gradeⅠin5knees,gradeⅡin4knees,gradeⅢin26knees,and gradeⅣin15knees.The accurate rate of diagnosis of MRI was75%(3/4)for gradeⅡ,92.3%(24/26)for gradeⅢand93.3%(14/15)for gradeⅣ.Conclusion In the meniscus tears,gradeⅠinjury on MRI is not indicated to surgical treatment,gradeⅡcan be explored in arthroscopy or observed when it is in need based on clinical symptoms.GradeⅢand gradeⅣof meniscus injury necessitate partial meniscectomy or meniscoplasty.

Objective To establish a new and convenient assay for whole blood lead concentration. Methods Whole blood sample was digested by nitric acid-perchloric. Under the condition of pH 0.8~1.0, lead concentration was examined by Hydridegeneration Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry.Results The method had good linearity when lead concentration were between 0 to 600 ?g/L, r =0.999. The within-run CV of the method for high, middle and low lead level were 4.1%, 3.6% and 3.5% respectively. The between-run CV were 4.9%, 4.6% and 4.7% respectively. The recovery rates were 105.4%, 98.5% and 94.8% respectively. The single-blind test result of series standard lead samples provided by Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine were within the acceptable range. The detecting Limit of this method was 0.3 ng. There was no significant interference from main two-valence positiveion. The sample can be storage at lest for 1 months at 4℃. Samples of 869 children from Tianjin were tested by this method. The mean value was 91.9 ?g/L, median was 83.8 ?g/L, all data were within 23.1~386.3 ?g/L. The result showed out positive skewness distribution.Conclusion This method were sensitive, accurate, precise, quick and low-cost. It was suitable for use in clinical laboratories.
