Disease control priority(DCP)is an important public health intervention strategy.Diseases that should be prioritized for prevention and control are first screened with a series of criteria,including the severity of the disease burden,the effectiveness of disease control technologies,the prevention and control capacity of the existing health system,etc.Then,the prevention and control technologies for these diseases undergo qualitative evaluation(eg,face-to-face interviews,expert consultation,workshops,etc)and quantitative evaluation(eg,cost-benefit analysis,multi-criteria decision analysis,etc).Finally,the public health initiatives that should be prioritized are identified.From the conception of the idea,to the formal proposition of the concept,to guidance for practice,DCP has gone through more than 70 years of development.Through DCP,significant contributions has been made to improving the efficiency of health care service systems and promoting the health of populations in developing countries.Herein,we systematically reviewed the background,development history,realization method,and practical applications of DCP,focusing on exploring the application potential of DCP in health governance and providing technical support and decision-making reference for the comprehensive promotion of the Healthy China Initiative.

Objective:To evaluate the teaching effectiveness of independent experimental design from students' active learning behavior, and further provide the basis for advancing the reform of functional experimental teaching and teaching quality.Methods:In June 2019, 186 undergraduates (5-year-programme and 8-year-programme) of Xiangya School of Medicine were included in the teaching research. Self-administered questionnaires were applied to characterize students' active learning behavior in independent experimental design education. Spearman rank correlation analysis and Logistic regression analysis were used in the study. SPSS 23.0 was used for descriptive analysis of the data.Results:During the independent experimental design, 85.0%(158/186) of the students thought it was necessary and important to conduct independent experimental design education; 72.6%(135/186) of the students tentatively raised new scientific questions; 97.8%(182/186) of the students actively searched literature; 77.4%(144/186) of the students participated in reply positively. The value of correlation coefficient of actively learning behavior "tentatively raising new science questions" and teaching effectiveness "improving the ability of scientific thinking" was 0.81. And only 42.5%(79/186) of the students agreed that students needed to summarize after reporting.Conclusion:Independent experimental design education is welcomed and widely accepted by students, which has effectively improved the capacity for scientific research and innovation spirit of students. Whether students' active learning behavior can be fully mobilized in the education practice is closely related to the teaching effect. And the cultivation of leadership and leading consciousness still need to be improved.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of iron deficiency(ID)and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in pregnant women in urban areas of China. Methods The study was a national cross-sectional survey conducted from September 19th, 2016 to November 20th, 2016. According to the classification of the National Bureau of Statistics, all survey sites were set up in 6 regions of the country. Pregnant women were continuously selected using multistage stratified sampling. A total of 12 403 pregnant women were collected and examined for serum ferritin and hemoglobin levels. Results The median serum ferritin level during pregnancy was 20.60 μg/L(11.78-36.98 μg/L), the hemoglobin level was(118±12)g/L. With the progress of pregnancy, the levels of serum ferritin and hemoglobin decreased gradually. The median serum ferritin levels in the first, second trimester and third trimester were 54.30 μg/L(34.48-94.01 μg/L), 28.60 μg/L(16.40-50.52 μg/L), and 16.70 μg/L(10.20-27.00 μg/L)respectively(P<0.01). The mean hemoglobin levels were(127 ± 10)g/L,(119 ± 11)g/L and(117 ± 11)g/L respectively(P<0.01). The prevalence of ID in urban pregnant women was 48.16%(5 973/12 403), and IDA prevalence was 13.87% (1 720/12 403). The prevalence of IDA in the first, second trimester and third trimester were 1.96% (20/1 019), 8.40%(293/3 487)and 17.82%(1 407/7 897), respectively(P<0.01). The prevalence of standardized ID and IDA were significantly different in various regions of China(P<0.01). The standardized prevalence of ID were relatively higher in East China and Northeast China, 57.37% and 53.41% respectively, while it was the lowest in Southwest China, 30.51%. The standardized prevalence of IDA in South Central, Northwest, and East China were relatively high, 21.30%, 16.97% and 17.53% respectively, and the standardized prevalence of IDA in Southwest China was the lowest, 5.44%,the differents in various regions were significant(all P<0.01). Conclusion The current phenomenon of ID and IDA in pregnant women is still very common,and nutrition and health care during pregnancy should be strengthened.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic values of procalcitonin (PCT),high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP),white blood cell (WBC)and percentage of neutrocyte (NEU％)in Gramnegative and Gram-positive bacterial blood stream infection in early stage of sepsis in order to investigate the correlation between PCT and APACHE lⅡ score as well as between PCT and SOFA score,and the prognostic value in assessment of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial blood stream infection.Methods Clinical data of patients admitted to ICU from January 2012 through December 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.A total of 124 sepsis patients with blood stream infection were checked with PCT,hs-CRP,WBC and NEU％ tests,and APACHE Ⅱ score and SOFA score were calculated.The differences in APACHE Ⅱ score and SOFA score were compared between Gram-negative group (n =41) and Gram-positive group (n =83).The correlation between PCT and APACHE Ⅱ score as well as between PCT and SOFA score was analyzed.The differences in diagnostic values of PCT,hs-CRP,WBC and NEU％ between Gram-negative group and Grampositive group were analyzed by using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and it was plotted to assess the prognostic values of PCT,hs-CRP,WBC and NEU％ for septic patients with blood stream infection.Results Compared with Gram-positive group,the levels of PCT [.55.32 (22.01,97.11) vs.2.13 (0.27,5.27)] (P ＜0.01),hs-CRP [105.09 (69.97,186.12) vs.70.54 (42.37,138.63)] (P=0.508),NEU％ [88.30 (75.79,93.52) vs.55.32 (22.01,97.11)] (P=0.302) were higher but WBC was lower [13.59 (10.74,17.58) vs.13.73 (11.32,20.90)] (P=0.058) in Gram-negative group.The ROC curve analysis of PCT showed the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.867 (95％ CI:0.789-0.946).When the optimal cutoff point of PCT was 17.48 ng/mL,the largest Youden's index was found to be 0.661 with 76.9％ sensitivity and 89.2％ specificity.Between two groups,there were significant differences in APACHE Ⅱ score and SOFA score (27.46 ± 9.60 vs.23.67 ± 7.74,P =0.020;8.05 ±3.38 vs.6.59-±3.45,P =0.028).There was significant difference in diagnostic value between PCT and SOFA (r =0.536,P =0.036) in Gram-negative group but no significant difference in Gram-positive group.Conclusions Higher PCT levels are found in Gram-negative group and it can play a role in differntiation between the Gram-negative group and Gram-positive group rather than hs-CRP,WBC and NEU％.PCT can be a better indicator for evaluation of severity of sepsis as well as for prognosis of sepsis patients with Gram-negative bacterium infection.

Objective To observe the features of the changes in the whole blood N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels in pregnant patients with complication of hypertensive disorders,its correlation to the severity of the illness,and to investigate the diagnostic value of point-of-care testing of NT-proBNP in patients with hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy.Methods A prospective observation was conducted.Sixty-nine patients with hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy admitted to Department of Critical Care Medicine of Liaocheng People's Hospital in Shandong Province from April 2013 to April 2015 were enrolled.All patients were divided into gestational hypertension group (n =16),preeclampsia group (n =30) and eclampsia group (n =23).At the same time,30 age-matched normal pregnant women were enrolled as the control group.The acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score of all patients with hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy were calculated within 24 hours after intensive care unit (ICU) admission.NT-proBNP in venous blood at 1,3,5 days after ICU admission was determined with point-of-care testing,in order to analyze the correlation of changes in NT-proBNP value in each group and the severity of the disorder.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to evaluate the diagnostic value of NT-proBNP in the whole blood in hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy.Results The APACHE Ⅱ score of the eclampsia group was significantly higher than that of the preeclampsia group,and it was higher than that of gestational hypertension group (15.91 ± 1.06,13.73 ± 1.09,10.31 ± 1.10,all P ＜ 0.01).The NT-proBNP in normal pregnancy group was lower than 125.00 ng/L,with a mean of 90.00 (79.75,100.00) ng/L.With the aggravation of the disease,NT-proBNP was gradually increased.On the first day in ICU,the NT-proBNP of the eclampsia gronp was significantly higher than that of the preeclampsia group,and it was higher in preeclampsia group than that of gestational hypertension group [ng/L:1960.00 (1 226.00,3 229.00),859.50 (626.75,2439.00),505.00 (171.25,604.05),P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01].With the extension of duration of treatment,the levels of NT-proBNP (ng/L) in the eclampsia group,preeclampsia group,and gestational hypertension group was gradually decreased,and had a statistically significant difference on the fifth day as compared with that of the first day [310.00 (210.00,430.00) vs.1 960.00 (1 226.00,3 229.00) in eclampsia group,265.00 (229.50,333.25) vs.859.50 (626.75,2439.00) in preeclampsia group,and 203.00 (115.50,259.25) vs.505.00 (171.25,604.05) in gestational hypertension group,all P ＜ 0.01].APACHE Ⅱ score of the patient with hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy was positively correlated with the level of NT-proBNP on the first day in ICU (r =0.795,P =0.000).It was shown by ROC curve analysis that the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of NT-proBNP in the whole blood for the diagnosis of the patient with hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy was 0.986 [95％ confidence interval (95％C/) =0.753-0.924].When the cutoff value was 122.50 ng/L,the sensitivity was 97.1％,and the specificity was 100.0％.No patient died,all the 69 patients recovered and discharged.Conclusions The levels of NT-proBNP in the whole blood in the patients with hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy,especially those with eclampsia,were significantly higher,and it was correlated with the severity of illness.After treatment,the levels were gradually lowered with the improvement of the disease.Therefore,it is concluded that the point-of-care testing of NT-proBNP in the whole blood has an excellent value for the diagnosis and evaluation of hypertensive disorder complication pregnancy.

Objective:To investigate the association between glutathione S-transferase pi (GSTP1) gene polymorphism and toxici-ties related to high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Methods:GSTP1 genotypes and allelic frequencies in 51 children with ALL were determined by Nest PCR, denaturing gel gradient electrophoresis (DGGE), and DNA sequencing. HD-MTX adverse reactions were analyzed using the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCICTC). Results:We identified three SNPs of GSTP1, including rs1695 (A313G), rs1138272 (G439T), and rs4891 (T555C). The wild types, het-erozygous types, and homozygous types of GSTP1 rs1695/rs4891 polymorphisms were detected in 32 cases (62.7%), 16 cases (31.4%), and 3 cases (5.9%), respectively. GSTP1 rs1695/rs4891 polymorphisms included only one heterozygous type and one homozygous type. The allele frequencies of the three SNPs were 21.6%, 2.9%, and 21.6%. The AG+GG/TC+CC genotype of GSTP1 rs1695/rs4891 was associated with decrease in the odds of peripheral hemoglobin (OR=0.25, 95%CI=0.06-1.00, P=0.049). The AG+GG/TC+CC genotype of GSTP1 rs1695/rs4891 in standard and intermediate-risk ALL children was significantly correlated with higher odds of gastrointesti-nal toxicity (OR=0.125, 95%CI=0.02-0.78, P=0.026). Conclusion:GSTP1 rs1695 (A313G)/rs4891 (T555C) gene polymorphism is as-sociated with the reduction of peripheral hemoglobin in ALL children and with the odds of gastrointestinal toxicity in standard and inter-mediate-risk ALL children who receive high-dose methotrexate.

Objective To investigate distribution and antimicrobial resistance among nosocomial pathogens from 13 teaching hospitals in China in 2009. Methods Non-repetitive pathogens from nosocomial BSI, HAP and IAI were collected and sent to the central lab for MIC determination by agar dilution method.WHONET5.6 software was used to analyze the data. Results A total of 2 502 clinical isolates were collected. The top three pathogens of BSI were Escherichia coli [27. 1% (285/1 052 )] , coagulase-negutive staphylococcus [12. 6% ( 133/1 052)] and Klebsiella pneumoniae [10. 8% ( 114/1 052)]. The top three pathogens of HAP were Acinetobacter baumannii [28. 8% (226/785)], Pseudomonas aeruginosa [16. 1% (126/785)] and Klebsiella pneumoniae [14.6% (115/785 )] . The top three pathogens of IAI were Escherichia coli[31.0% ( 206/665 )], Klebsiella pneumonia [11.3% ( 75/665 )] and Enterococcus faecium [10. 8% (72/665)]. Against Escherichia coil and Klebsiella spp. , the antimicrobial agents with higher than 80% susceptibility rate included imipenem and meropenem (98. 1%-100% ), tigecycline (95.3%-100% ), piperacillin-tazobactam ( 88.6% -97. 1% ) and amikacin ( 88. 3% -92. 5% ). Against Enterobacter spp. , Citrobacter spp. and Serratia spp. , the susceptibility rates of tigecycline were 93.5% -100% whereas the value of imipenem and meropenem were 92.9% -100%. Other antimicrobial agents with high activity included amikacin ( 85.2% -96. 7% ), pipcracillin-tazobactam ( 82.4% -96.4% ), cefepime ( 79. 6% -96. 7% ) and cefoperazonc-sulbactam (78. 7%-90. 0% ). Polymyxin B showed the highest susceptibility rateagainst Pseudomonas aeruginosa ( 100% ), followed by amikacin ( 81.9% ) and piperacillin-tazobactam (80.1% ). Polymyxin B also showed the highest susceptibility rate against Acinetobacter baumannii (98. 8% ), followed by tigecycline (90. 1% ) and minocycline (72. 0% ). The incidence of carbapenemresistant Acinetobacter baumannii was 60. 1%. The MRSA rate was 60. 2% and the MRSCoN rate was 84. 2%. All Staphylococcus strains were susceptible to tigecycline, vancomycin, teicoplanin and linezolid except for one isolate of Staphylococcus haemolysis with intermediate to teicoplanin. Two Enterococcus faecalis isolates which were intermediate to linezolid and one Enterococcus faecium isolate which was resistant to vancomycin and teicoplanin was found in this surveillance, while the MICs of tigecycline against these three isolates were 0. 032-0. 064 μg/ml. Conclusions Tigecycline, carbapenems, piperacillin-tazobactam,amikacin and cefepime remain relatively high activity against nosocomial Enterobacteriaceae. Pseudomonas aeruginosa exhibite high susceptibility to polymyxin B, while Acinetobacter baumanni shows high susceptibility to polymyxin B and tigecycline. Tigecycline, vancomycin, teicoplanin and linezolid remain high activity against nosocomial gram-positive cocci.

Brain atlas provides a spatial reference system on which other images can be interpreted in a consistent way, and it is essential for the brain imaging research. However, because of the differences in structure between occidental and oriental brains, the brain atlas based on Western populations, e. g., the International Consortium for Brain Mapping's 154 T1 Weighted Average Atlas, may not be appropriate for other ethnic groups. Therefore, in the present study, we produce an average brain atlas which is based on the data collected from 100 healthy Chinese volunteers. The differences in brains between the Chinese population and the Western population were also investigated. Comparatively,Chinese brains are wider and shorter in size, and smaller in volume.
