ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic in Hebei Province, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic. Methods Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of all COVID-19 cases reported in Hebei Province from January 22, 2020 to September 22, 2020. Results As of September 22, 2020, a total of 365 confirmed cases had been reported in Hubei Province, including 339 local confirmed cases and 26 imported cases, of which 18 were critical cases, 34 severe cases, and 6 deaths. Among the confirmed cases, 198 were males and 167 were females, with a male to female ratio of 1.19:1. The epidemic situation in Hebei Province can be divided into three stages: The first stage (January 22 to April 6) was dominated by imported cases from Hubei Province, with 318 reported cases, accounting for 87.12% of the total cases, and the mortality rate was 1.89%; The second stage (June 14 - July 25) was the spread caused by cases in Beijing Xinfadi market, with 21 cases reported, accounting for 5.75% of the total cases, and the mortality rate was 0%; The third stage (July 26 - September 22) was mainly imported cases from abroad, with 26 cases reported, accounting for 7.12% of the total cases, and the mortality rate was 0%. Conclusion The COVID-19 epidemic situation in Hebei Province has been under control. In view of the continuous spread of the epidemic situation in foreign countries, it is extremely important to strictly prevent the import of overseas epidemics and prevent the outbreak from rebounding.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the interventional of bare-handed core muscle strength training and the sling exercise therapy (SET) on low back pain.Methods The soldiers of an Air Force Station who suffered from low back pain participated in the study.One hundred and forty-four patients were equally divided into three groups: the core muscle strength group (using core muscle strength training and the general physical therapy), the SET group (using SET and general physical therapy), and the control group (using the general physical therapy).All the groups were tested for 6 weeks.Questionnaires were distributed to the three groups before intervention, two weeks, four weeks and six weeks after intervention in order to find out about the degree of LBP, lumbar function and activity of these cases.Changes in the lumbar muscle strength were observed.Results The number of the patients who completed the test included 43 cases in the bare-handed core muscle strength group, 43 cases in the SET group and 44 cases in the control group, respectively, the VAS scores were 3.25, the Roland scores were 5.83,the FFD scores were 8.58 of the bare-handed core muscle strength group;the VAS scores were 3.30, the Roland scores were 5.93,the FFD scores were 8.10 of the SET group;the VAS scores were 2.41, the Roland scores were 3.03,the FFD scores were 7.40 of the control group.The LBP intervention efficiency of the three groups was 90.90%, 85.13% and 46.82%, respectively.There was no significant difference in indexes between the test groups(P>0.05).But compared with the control group,there was significant difference(P<0.05).Conclusion The bare-handed core muscle strength training and SET have obvious effects on LBP cases.According to their own infrastructure and facilities, military health care organizations in different environments can intervene in LBP cases with the bare-handed core muscle strength training or SET to alleviate the pain effectively.
ABSTRACT
Risk assessment is critical to responses to public health emergencies .Practices and researches concerning risk assessment of public health emergencies in China′s military are still in the early stage .This paper summarizes the rele-vant concepts , categorization , assessment methods , and practices .Based on management requirements of risk assessment , suggestions are raised about how to strengthen the risk assessment capability of Armed Forces by formulating management rules, perfecting assessment methods and developing assessment tools .
