National Assessment of Statin Therapy in Patients Hospitalized with Acute Myocardial Infarction: Insight from China PEACE-Retrospective AMI Study, 2001, 2006, 2011

BackgroundStatin therapy is among the most effective treatments to improve short- and long-term mortality after acute myocardial infarction. The use of statin, and the intensity of their use, has not been described in acute myocardial infarction patients in China, a country with a rapidly growing burden of cardiovascular disease.ConclusionsThe use of statin therapy has dramatically increased over the past decade in Chinese patients with acute myocardial infarction. However, half of patients still did not receive intensive statin therapy in 2011.Given that guidelines strongly endorse intensive statin therapy for acute myocardial infarction patients, initiatives promoting the use of statin therapy, with attention to treatment intensity, would support further improvements in practice.     

快速独立分量分析及其在脑电信号处理中的应用

独立分量分析(IndependentComponentAnalysis,ICA)是一种基于信号统计特性的盲源分离方法,由于其分离的信号之间是互相独立的,所以在生物电信号去除干扰和伪迹、信号分离以及特征提取等方面有很大的潜在价值。本文提出了一种改进的快速ICA方法,提高了收敛速度。通过仿真,证明这种方法的优越性。最后利用该方法去除脑电中眼动伪迹,达到了较好的效果。

Agrobacterium mediated genetic transformation of commercial jute cultivar Corchorus capsularis cv. JRC 321 using shoot tip explants

We have developed a reproducible method of Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated stable genetic transformation of white jute (Corchorus capsularis cv. JRC 321) utilizing the shoot organogenesis potential of the shoot tip apical meristem. A. tumefaciens strain LBA4404 harboring the binary vector pCAMBIA 1301 was used in the transformation experiments. The explants were subjected to varying durations of preculture and cocultivation with A. tumefaciens in the presence of acetosyringone in order to optimize the conditions conducive for the highest expression of transgene. A schedule of 1 day preculture of shoot tips followed by 3 days cocultivation was optimized for Agrobacterium mediated stable genetic transformation of C. capsularis cv. JRC 321. The optimized lethal doses of the antibiotic hygromycin B for shoot tips (12 mg/L) and for 5 days old seedlings (14 mg/L) were employed in efficient selection of the transformed tissues. This method of transformation resulted in a mean transformation efficiency of 4.09 %. Stable expression of the intron harbored gusA transgene was observed in mature organs of the transformed plants and their progenies. Genomic integration and inheritance of the hpt transgene was further confirmed by Southern blot analysis. The transformed plants exhibited normal morphology and most of them produced viable progenies, many of which segregated in a 3:1 ratio following Mendelian inheritance for a single dominant locus. However, strong P value support for 3:1 segregation ratio was obtained in case of two lines of independent transformants. Nevertheless, the method of transformation mentioned in this protocol could be effectively implemented in genetic transformation of many other cultivars of jute due to the genotype independent regeneration potential of the shoot tip explants.     

HIV Incidence and Risk Factors in Chinese Young Men Who Have Sex with Men—A Prospective Cohort Study

Objectives

To assess HIV incidence and its associated risk factors among young men who have sex with men (YMSM) in urban areas, China.

Design

The study used a prospective cohort study design and standard diagnostic tests.

Methods

A twelve-month prospective cohort study was conducted among YMSM (18–25 years old) in 8 large cities in China. The participants were recruited via snowball sampling. A total of 1102 HIV-negative YMSM completed baseline assessment, 878 YMSM participants completed 6-month follow-up, and 902 completed 12-month follow-up. HIV was screened by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and confirmed with Western Blot. Syphilis was screened via rapid plasma reagent and confirmed by treponema pallidum particle agglutination assay.

Results

78 HIV seroconversions were identified within 1168.4 person-year observations yielding an incidence rate of 6.7 per 100 person-years. HIV seroconversion was associated with non-student status (RR = 2.61, 90% CI = 1.3–5.26), low HIV transmission knowledge (RR = 8.87, 90% CI = 2.16–36.43), and syphilis infection (RR = 5.04, 90% CI = 2.57–9.90).

Conclusions

Incidence of HIV among YMSM is high in urban areas of China. Interventions measures are required to contain the HIV epidemic within this population.     

Self-Reported Use of Personal Protective Equipment among Chinese Critical Care Clinicians during 2009 H1N1 Influenza Pandemic

BACKGROUND: Critically ill patients with 2009 H1N1 influenza are often treated in intensive care units (ICUs), representing significant risk of nosocomial transmission to critical care clinicians and other patients. Despite a large body of literature and guidelines recommending infection control practices, numerous barriers have been identified in ICUs, leading to poor compliance to the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). The use of PPE among critical care clinicians has not been extensively evaluated, especially during the pandemic influenza. This study examined the knowledge, attitudes, and self-reported behaviors, and barriers to compliance with the use of PPE among ICU healthcare workers (HCWs) during the pandemic influenza. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: A survey instrument consisting of 36 questions was developed and mailed to all HCWs in 21 ICUs in 17 provinces in China. A total of 733 physicians, nurses, and other professionals were surveyed, and 650 (88.7%) were included in the analysis. Fifty-six percent of respondents reported having received training program of pandemic influenza before they cared for H1N1 patients, while 77% reported to have adequate knowledge of self and patient protection. Only 18% of respondents were able to correctly identify all components of PPE, and 55% reported high compliance (>80%) with PPE use during patient care. In multivariate analysis, vaccination for 2009 H1N1 influenza, positive attitudes towards PPE use, organizational factors such as availability of PPE in ICU, and patient information of influenza precautions, as well as reprimand for noncompliance by the supervisors were associated with high compliance, whereas negative attitudes towards PPE use and violation of PPE use were independent predictors of low compliance. CONCLUSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Knowledge and self-reported compliance to recommended PPE use among Chinese critical care clinicians is suboptimal. The perceived barriers should be addressed in order to close the significant gap between perception and knowledge or behavior.     

施氮对间作蚕豆根际微生物区系和枯萎病发生的影响

通过田间小区试验,研究了小麦、蚕豆间作条件下4个施氮水平(0,56.25,112.5kg.hm-2和168.75kg.hm-2)对蚕豆根际微生物区系和蚕豆枯萎病发生的影响。结果表明,单作和间作条件下,施氮显著增加了蚕豆根际的微生物数量,在N2(112.5kg.hm-2)水平下达到最高值;施氮对土壤微生物多样性无显著影响,但减轻了单、间作蚕豆枯萎病的发生,且在N2水平下发病最轻。与单作相比,间作显著增加了蚕豆根际的细菌、真菌、放线菌数量、微生物总数和微生物多样性,尤其在N0、N1(56.25kg.hm-2)和N2(112.5kg.hm-2)水平下间作对蚕豆根际微生物的促进效应明显,且以真菌和放线菌的增幅较大.N0、N1和N2水平下间作显著降低了蚕豆枯萎病的发病率和病情指数。小麦蚕豆间作下适量施氮能有效调节蚕豆根际微生物区系,是抑制蚕豆枯萎病发生的有效措施。     

多循环植物病害病情控制效果计算公式的比较

比较了3个多循环植物病害病情控制效果计算公式:Abbott公式,Henderson-Tilton公式和杨信东公式,认为杨信东公式为最优公式。总结出Abbott公式的误差产生规律:处理区与对照区的初始病情的比值越大,误差越大;处理区与对照区的初始病情的值越小,误差越大;随着处理区与对照区的终期病情的增大,公式的计算误差明显增大。Henderson-Tilton公式的误差产生规律:处理区与对照区的初始病情的比值越小,误差越大;处理区与对照区的初始病情的值越大,误差越大;随着处理区与对照区的终期病情增大,公式的计算误差明显增大。在处理区与对照区的初始病情相差悬殊,处理区与对照区的终期病情大于0.5甚至更多的条件下Abbott公式、Henderson-Tilton公式会产生较大误差,不能客观评价杀菌剂或其它控病措施的功效,而采用杨信东公式则能客观评价杀菌剂或其他控病措施的效果。
