【Objective】 Escherichia coli phage (ECP) and Staphylococcus aureus phage (SAP) isolated from sewage were used as research objects, and their biological characteristics were analyzed to provide new experimental materials for the application of phages. 【Methods】 ECP and SAP were purified and cultured by double-layer agar method. Then a series of biological characteristics of these two phages were preliminarily analyzed by electron microscope observation, optimal multiplicity of infection (MOI) test, one-step growth curve test, temperature, pH, chloroform and ultraviolet sensitivity tests, respectively. 【Results】 The results of biological characteristics showed that ECP and SAP were both virulent phages, belonging to myoviridac family. Their optimal MOI was 10-1, and they had strong resistance to ultraviolet light. The cleavage volume of ECP was 76.3 PFU/cell, while that of SAP was 8.3 PFU/cell. ECP had a wide range of temperature tolerance and could stably survive at 30-50 ℃, while SAP was more sensitive to temperature and could be completely inactivated at 50 ℃ for 1 h. ECP could maintain a good lysis activity in the range of pH 5-11, while SAP in the range of pH 6-9. ECP had strong resistance to chloroform and was non-membranous phage, while SAP was more sensitive to chloroform and was a membranous phage. 【Conclusion】 ECP and SAP are both virulent phages and have strong resistance to ultraviolet light. The lysability, temperature, pH, and chloroform tolerance of ECP are stronger than those of SAP.

Objective:
To examine the effects of obesity and central obesity on hypertension, so as to provide insights into the prevention and control measures of hypertension.
Methods:
From September to December 2018, residents at ages of 35 to 75 years were sampled using the multi-stage random sampling method in Baiyin District, Baiyin City, Gansu Province, and subjected to questionnaire surveys and physical examinations. The interaction between obesity/central obesity and hypertension was evaluated using logistic regression analysis. The synergy index ( SI ), relative excess risk due to interaction ( RERI ) and attributable proportion due to interaction ( AP ) were calculated using Excel compiled by Andersson et al.
Results:
A total of 6 246 questionnaires were allocated and 6 169 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 98.77%. The respondents included 3 038 men ( 49.25% ) and 3 131 women (50.75%), with a mean age of ( 52.05±8.78 ) years. There were 832 respondents with obesity ( 13.49% ) and 2 278 with central obesity ( 36.93% ). The crude and standardized prevalence rates of hypertension were 35.89% and 33.05%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that obesity ( OR=2.020, 95%CI: 1.705-2.393 ) and central obesity ( OR=1.622, 95%CI: 1.433-1.836 ) were statistically associated with hypertension. There was no multiplicative interaction between obesity or central obesity and hypertension ( OR=1.011, 95%CI: 0.655-1.560 ), and no additive interaction was detected between obesity or central obesityand hypertension ( SI=1.405, 95%CI: 0.815-2.424; RERI=0.658, 95%CI: -0.298 to 1.614; AP=0.201, 95%CI: -0.075 to 0.476 ).
Conclusions
Obesity and central obesity increase the risk of hypertension; however, no interaction is detected between obesity or central obesity and hypertension.

Purpose:
There is no optimal prognostic model for T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL). Here, we discussed the predictive value of total metabolic tumor volume (TMTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) measured on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography–computed tomography (PET-CT) in T-LBL.
Materials and Methods:
Thirty-seven treatment naïve T-LBL patients with PET-CT scans were enrolled. TMTV was obtained using the 41% maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) threshold method, and TLG was measured as metabolic tumor volume multiplied by the mean SUV. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier curves and compared by the log-rank test.
Results:
The optimal cutoff values for SUVmax, TMTV, and TLG were 12.7, 302 cm3, and 890, respectively. A high SUVmax, TMTV, and TLG indicated a shorten PFS and OS. On multivariable analysis, TMTV ≥ 302 cm3, and central nervous system (CNS) involvement predicted inferior PFS, while high SUVmax, TLG and CNS involvement were associated with worse OS. Subsequently, we generated a risk model comprising high SUVmax, TMTV or TLG and CNS involvement, which stratified the population into three risk groups, which had significantly different median PFS of not reached, 14 months, and 7 months for low-risk group, mediate-risk group, and high-risk group, respectively (p < 0.001). Median OS were not reached, 27 months, and 13 months, respectively (p < 0.001).
Conclusion
Baseline SUVmax, TMTV, and TLG measured on PET-CT are strong predictors of worse outcome in T-LBL. A risk model integrating these three parameters with CNS involvement identifies patients at high risk of disease progression.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2020;41(3):348-351
Objective:
To understand the awareness and influencing factors of medical healthcare APP among female college students in Weifang, and to provide references for healthy lifestyle and health literacy improvement.
Methods:
A total of 891 female college students were selected by stratified random sampling method, and were investigated regrading awareness on medical and health care APP and associated factors. Data were statistically analyzed by composition ratio, CHI-square test and binary Logistic regression.
Results:
There were 54.6% of the female college students who reported not aware of medical healthcare APP. The overall awareness rates of medical and health care APP for freshmen,sophomores, juniors, seniurs and above were 39.75%,45.59%,55.78% and 52.56%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant(χ2=16.43,P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that medical costs, medical healthcare information attention, medical health care information recognition, consulting the treatment scheme were positively associated with awareness of health care APP(OR=1.40,1.51,1.27,1.33,P<0.05).
Conclusion
The awareness rate of medical health care APP of female college students in Weifang is relatively low,and the difference between different groups is obvious. It is necessary to improve the scientific knowledge rate of the female college students to the APP, so as to influence the life style of the female college students.

Objective:
To study the effects of different CT values assignment methods on the dose calculation of radiotherapy plan for brain metastases, which will provide a reference for radiotherapy treatment planning based on MR images.
Methods:
A total of 35 patients treated with radiotherapy for brain metastases were selected, with pre-treatment CT and MR simulated positioning performed at the same day. Based on the simulation CT images, three dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) or intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plans were calculated as the original plan (Plan1). The CT and MR images were rigidly registered and then the main tissues and organs were delineated on CT and MR images. The average CT values of each tissue and organ were calculated. Three groups of pseudo CT were generated by three CT values assignment methods based on the CT images: whole tissue was assigned 140 HU; cavity, bone and other tissues were assigned -700 HU, 700 HU and 20 HU, respectively; different tissues and organs were assigned corresponding CT values. The dose distribution of Plan1 was recalculated on three groups of pseudo-CT to obtain Plan2, Plan3 and Plan4, respectively. Finally, the dosimetric difference between Plan1 and other plans (including Plan2, Plan3 and Plan4) were compared.
Results:
The average CT values of bone and cavity were (735.3±68.0) HU and (-723.9±27.0) HU, respectively. The average CT values of soft tissues was mostly distributed from -70 to 70 HU. The dosimetric differences between Plan2, Plan3, Plan4, and Plan1 decreased in turn. The differences of maximum dose of lens were the biggest, which can reach more than 5.0%, 1.5%-2.0% and 1.0%-1.5%, respectively, and the differences of other dose parameters were basically less than 2.0%, 1.2% and 0.8%, respectively. In the pixelwise dosimetric comparison, the areas with more than 1% difference in the local target cases were mainly distributed in the skin near the field. On the other hand, those in the whole brain target cases were mainly distributed at the bone, cavity, bone and soft tissues junction, and the skin near the field. In addition, the dose calculation error of CT value assignment methods in 3D-CRT plan was slightly larger than that in IMRT plan, and that in whole brain target cases were significantly larger than that in local target cases.
Conclusions
Different CT value assignment methods have a significant effect on the dose calculation of radiotherapy for brain metastases. When appropriate CT values are given to bone, air cavity and soft tissue, respectively, the deviation of dose calculation can be basically controlled within 1.2%. And by assigning mass CT values to various tissues and organs, the deviation can be further controlled within 0.8%, which can meet the clinical requirements.

Family physicians contracted service is an important choice to deepen the reform of China′s healthcare reform and achieve the strategic goal of " health for all" . In order to effectively promote the contracted service, the central government has successively issued a number of policy documents, which are echoed by the localities in their proactive explorations, achieving remarkable results. But there are also multiple roadblocks hindering the contracted service to progress. This article referred to the three-circle theory and studied policy implementation from the three dimensions of policy value, policy resources, and policy impetus. A thorough analysis of the problems in the implementation process revealed such main problems as insufficient family physicians, inadequacy of supporting policies and low level of policy acceptance among the young healthy age groups. The follow-up work will promote the long-term implementation of the family physicians contracted service policy by enriching the family physicians team, enriching supporting policies, and focusing on promotions to key age groups.

The healthcare plus aging care is a new type of aging care model that integrates medical services and aging care services. China has successively issued a series of policies, encouraging the localities to proactively explore such a model. The authors refer to the four dimensions of exchange and communication, policy resources, policy executor preferences and organizational structure in the Edwards policy execution model, for analyzing the implementation of such a policy. The study found such constraints for the policy as follows: unclear policy implementation standards, inadequate policy resources of manpower, financial and material resources, differences in preferences among local governments, general hospitals, primary medical institutions, and pension institutions, as well as decentralized and restricted organizational structures. At present, the policy of healthcare plus aging care remains in the stage of exploration and trial. The government should continue to define and revise the policy to ensure the smooth progress and long-term implementation of the policy of healthcare plus aging care.
