Objective To investigate the existing nuclear radiation health emergency response capacity of local health systems at nuclear power plant sites in Guangdong Province. Methods The health administrative departments of all nuclear power plants sites in Guangdong Province, along with radiation health protection institutions, designated nuclear radiation treatment hospitals, and township health centers, were selected as the study subjects using the purposive sampling method. A series of standardized questionnaires on the capacities for nuclear radiation health emergency response, developed uniformly by the National Institute for Radiological Protection, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, were adopted to separately investigate the capacities for nuclear radiation health emergency response in the study subjects. Results There were 13 health administration departments, 15 radiological health protection institutions, 18 designated hospitals for nuclear radiation medical response, and 18 township health centers located in the nuclear power plants sites in Guangdong Province. Among the 13 health administration departments, the Health Commission of Guangdong Province met all 15 criteria for nuclear radiation health emergency response capacities. All six prefecture-level health administrative departments possessed more than 10 capacities for nuclear radiation health emergency response, while only one of the six county-level departments had more than 10 such capacities. Among radiation health protection institutions, the provincial-level institution possessed all 18 capacity for nuclear radiation health emergency response; of the six prefectural-level institutions, only four had more than 10 capacities; none of the eight county-level institutions or 18 township health centers possessed more than 10 capacities. Among designated nuclear radiation treatment hospitals, provincial-level institution met all 32 capacities for nuclear radiation health emergency response; of the eight prefecture‑level hospitals, only four meet more than ten such capacities; and of the nine county‑level hospitals and 18 township health centers, none possess more than 10 capacities. Conclusion Provincial- and prefectural-level nuclear radiation emergency capacity in Guangdong Province is adequate, whereas county-level and township health centers have obvious weaknesses in organizational structure, personnel training, equipment reserves, funding, and technical reserves; emergency response capacity needs urgent enhancement.

Objective: To summarize the status of immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) after mastectomy in Beijing City, Tianjin City and Hebei Province. Methods: A retrospective analysis was made on the data of 382 cases with breast cancer who were treated and followed up successfully with immediate breast reconstruction after mastectomy from January 2012 to December 2016 in Beijing City, Tianjin City and Hebei Province. Clinic data of the followed-up 382 cases (all female, age (38.5±4.2) years (range: 24 to 70 years)), including general information, tumor information, sugery methods, and treatments after surgery were collected. The survival status, metastasis,complications and prognosis were followed up. Cosmetic effcet was evalated by Harris method, and life quality by Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast scale (FACT-B). χ² test was used to compare the difference between year 2012 and year 2013 to 2016. Bonferroni method was used to correct the inspection level, which was 0.05/10=0.005. The trend of IBR rate (ratio of IBR to modified radical mastectomy) from 2013 to 2016 was analyzed by trend χ² test. Results: There was 46 cases in stage 0, 152 cases in stage Ⅰ, 165 cases in stage Ⅱ, 19 cases in stage Ⅲ. Twenty-five cases was treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy, 231 by chemotherapy and 35 by radiotherapy. The proportion of implant reconstruction was 48.7% (186/382), more than expanded of 21.5% (82/382), with latissimus dorsi of 12.0% (46/382), TRAM of 8.9% (34/382), DIEP of 2.1% (8/382), and latissimus plus implant of 6.8% (26/382). According to the Harris standard, the excellent and good rate of the cosmetic effect of the reconstructed breast was 93.7%. The score of FACT-B was 108.20±16.9 (range: 67 to 144) 1 year postoperatively. Compared with 2012, the IBR rate was significant increased, till 2015, the IBR rate was 153/10 000 cases (χ²=47.028, P=0.000). Conclusions There is a significant increase on IBR rate in Beijing City, Tianjin City and Hebei province by year. Most of cases received IBR is stage Ⅰ to Ⅱ. Implant reconstruction is the main reconstructive method. Postoperative cosmetic effects and quality of life are both meet patients′ demon.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and factors of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) during 1958 to 2007 in Fuyang.Methods Descriptive study method was used to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome.The incidence peak of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome was computed by using rotundity distribution.The correlation was analyzed between incidence and virus index by Pearson correlation.Results 40 002 HFRS cases was reported during 1958 to 2007 in Fuyang and 2381 cases were dead.The average incidence and fatality rate of HFRS were 11.99 per 100 thousand and 5.95 percent respectively.Eight counties all had cases.Yingshang county had the highest cases and Jieshou city had the highest fatality rate.Since 1958,there're 4 incidence peak in Fuyang.The period of high incidence was during November to January of next year and the peak of incidence rate was on December 13.Indoor density and field density of mouse were 9.84 percent and 7.91 percent respectively.Virus rate of indoor and field of mouse were 9.21 percent and 6.99 percent respectively.During 1984 to 2007,the correlation coefficient between virus index and incidence was 0.58.In room brown mouse was the most before 2000,but then house mouse become the most.In open country heavy line Japanese fieldmouse is the most mouse all the time.Conclusions In Fuyang,the focus of HFRS is exist widely.Density and virus rate of mouse will directly affect the incidence.So surveillance among mouse should be strengthened.

BACKGROUND: Angiotensinogen (AGT) gene is the firstly discovered candidate gene for essential hypertension, both the T174M and M235T polymorphisms locate at the second exons of AGT gene, and there is existence of linkage disequilibrium. The polymorphism at A-6G and G-217A sites in promotor region plays an important role in regulating the gene expression, and the products of keep close correlation with the level of blood pressure. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between the polymorphism of AGT gene at A-6G, T174M and G-217A sites and the risk for the attack of essential hypertension in Chinese Han population, DESIGN: A cluster sampling and case-control analysis. SETTINGS: Department of Geriatrics and Department of Cardiology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University; Southern Research Center of National Human genome; Department of Cardiology, Dongtai People's Hospital of Jiangsu Province. PARTICIPANTS: The experiment was carried out in the countryside of Dongtai county, Yancheng city, Jiangsu province. All the subjects were selected from the countryside of Dongtai county, Yancheng city, Jiangsu province. Totally 177 patients with essential hypertension who had never accepted any drug treatment, were taken as the essential hypertension group, and hypertension was diagnosed according to the diagnostic standard of hypertension set by WHO/ISH in 1999 (systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mm Hg); Another 86 normal person were taken as the normal control group. ② Inclusive criteria: The enrolled subjects should be Han nationality; long-term local residents but not from other places; able to answer questions clearly; diagnosed by disease history, clinical symptoms, physical signs and assistant examinations; have complete data of investigation of uniform questionnaires by face-to-face interview (including demographic information, profession history, family history and life styles of smoking, drinking, drinking tea, etc.). ③ Exclusive criteria: The patients with secondary hypertension in the essential hypertension group, subjects having family hisory of hypertension in the normal control group, and those with chronic diseases of liver and kidney, and diabetes mellitus in both groups were excluded. METHODS: Peripheral venous blood samples (3 mL) were collected, and DNA was extracted from human peripheral blood with FlexiGene DNA Kit (250). The Primer3 software was applied to design primers, and the polymorphism sites in the primer sequence were excluded. After multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR), 3 μL products were selected to detected the amplified results by agarose gel electrophoresis. The successfully amplified PCR products were purified with the QIAquick PCR Purification Kit, and the purified products were fragmentized with Dnase Ⅰ . The fragmentized products of enzyme digestion were labeled with fluorescein by deoxynucleotide terminal transferase. Two allele specific probes and one mismatched probe were designed respectively for each single nucleotide polymorphism. The chips were prepared with the OmniGridTM 100 TLC samler, each probe was repeated for three times to form three matrix. The hyridization solution was degenerated at 95 ℃ for 10 minutes, and then immediately cut on ice. 10 μL hybridization solution was added onto the chip matrix, hybridized at 50 ℃ for 2 hours, then washed and dried. The chips were scanned with the GenePix 4000B laser confocal scanner (Figure 2),and the intensity of the fluorescent signal for each probe was extracted with GenePix Pro, and the allele score of each single nucleotide polymorphism was calculated to judge the genotype. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Comparison of the frequencies of genotype distribution at each polymorphism site of AGT gene in both groups; ② Correlation analysis of the polymorphism of AGT gene at A-6G and T-174M sites with the risk for the attack of essential hypertension; ③ Effects of the polymorphism of AGT gene at A-6G, T-174M and G-217A sites on blood pressure.RESULTS: According to the intention-to-treat analysis,all the 263 subjects were involved in the analysis of results. ① At the A-6G site of AGT gene, the frequencies of AA, AG and GG genotypes (P=0.014) and A and G alleles (P=0.004, OR=0.44) had significant differences between the essential hypertension group and normal control group; At the T174M site, the frequencies of CC, CT and TT genotypes (P=0.031) and A and G alleles (P=0.014, OR=0.55) were significantly different; At the G-217A site, no obvious differences were found in the GG, AG and AA genotypes (P=0.722) and G and A alleles (P=0.403, OR=0.80). ② The risk of essential hypertension in the individuals carrying AA genotype of A-6G polymorphism and CC genotype of T174M polymorphism was reduced by 57% (95%CI= 0.23-0.82, P= 0.010) and 56% (95%CI= 0.25-0.79, P= 0.006) respectively. ③ There were no significant differences in the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure among different genotypes at the A-6G, T174M sites and G-217A sites (F=0.100- 2.911, P ＞ 0.05). CONCLUSION: The AA genope at A-6G and the CC genotype at T174M site of AGT gene may reduce the risk for the attack of essential hypertension in Chinese Hun population, and no significant correlation was found between the genotype of G-217A polymorphism and the attack of essential hypertension.
