Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of hepatitis B （HB） in Huzhou from 2004 to 2017 in order to provide theoretical basis for the prevention of HB. Methods:Descriptive epidemiologic methods were used to analyze the data of HB cases in Huzhou city， 2004-2017. Results:A total of 16 685 HB cases were reported in Huzhou from 2004 to 2017. The average annual incidence of HB was 41.58/105. Incidence tended to decrease （χ2=5 094.667， P<0.01）. The incidence of HB among males was higher than that among females （χ2=2 619.143，P<0.01）， and the incidence rate among males and females both tended to decrease （male： χ2= 3 408.813， P<0.01；female： χ2=1 716.388， P<0.01）. Of the reported case of HB， 83.0% involved individuals between 20 and 60 years of age. Most of the patients were farmers， accounting for 52.41% of the total cases. The top three districts reporting high case numbers were Changxing （4 584 cases （27.47%））， Wuxing （4 356 cases （26.11%））， Anji （3 192 cases（19.13%））， while the top county/district of the annual incidence was Changxing （50.10/105）. Conclusion:Incidence of HB kept decreasing between 2004 and 2017 in Huzhou. Adults are the key population vulnerable to HB virus. To further reduce the incidence of HB， it is necessary to strengthen the prevention of HB and HB vaccination rate among high-risk groups.

Bioinformatics analysis of differentially expressed genes in non-small cell lung cancer / 西安交通大学学报(医学版)

【Objective】 To analyze the data of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) gene chip using the bioinformatics method, screen differential expression genes (DEGs), and explore the biomarkers related to the prognosis of NSCLC so as to provide a new target for the treatment of NSCLC. 【Methods】 The NSCLC gene chip data were downloaded from the GEO database and the common DEGs in the two datasets were screened by GEO2R tool and FunRich3.1.3 software. The DAVID database was used in GO analysis and KEGG analysis of the DEGs. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed using the STRING database; Cytoscape 3.8.0 software was used to select the top 20 hub genes. Then Kaplan-Meier plotter was used to analyze the prognosis of the identified hub genes, and multiple external databases were used to verify the expressions of the hub genes and their relationship with prognosis. 【Results】 A total of 159 intersect DEGs were screened from the two datasets. A total of 20 hub genes were identified via PPI network. Survival analysis and validation results from multiple external databases showed that SPP1 was highly expressed in NSCLC tumor tissues and was significantly correlated with the patients’ poor prognosis (P<0.05). The subgroup analysis showed that SPP1 might cause the poor prognosis by affecting lymph node metastasis. 【Conclusion】 SPP1 may be a biomarker for evaluating the prognosis of NSCLC patients, providing a new idea for the targeted therapy of NSCLC.

An analysis on factors influencing salt - restriction behavior of hypertension in rural communities / 预防医学

Objective To learn the salt intake level of residents with hypertension in rural community and the influencing factors of salt restriction behavior. Methods We used random cluster sampling method to extract two rural communities. A total of 200 residents with hypertension or high - risk of hypertension were selected as the subjects. We conducted general information questionnaire,hypertension knowledge,attitudes and behavior questionnaire,3 - day salt intake survey and urine sodium detection to evaluate the level of sodium intake. We used multivariate logistic regression equation modeling to predict influencing factors of salt restriction behavior. Results After the completion of the investigation,M (QR )for daily sodium intake of 173 cases in the intervention group was 6. 72(5. 18)g,and the main route were through the salt,monosodium glutamate ,soy sauce,pickles. Daily 24 hours urinary sodium excretion amount was 90. 10(62. 28) mmol / 24 h and 152 cases(87. 86% )of respondents had salt - restriction - spoon,and 108 cases(71. 05% )use the salt- restriction - spoon,but only 53 cases(49. 07% )used the spoon correctly. The frequency of spoon for salt restriction and sodium intake was negatively correlated(P ﹤ 0. 05),whether spoon for salt restriction was used correctly and 24 - hour urinary sodium excretion was negatively correlated( P ﹤ 0 . 0 5 ). By multivariate logistic regression analysis ,those people who had high level of the average annual household income(OR = 2. 75,95% CI:1. 16 - 6. 53),identified 6 g of salt a day(OR = 5. 43,95% CI:1. 22 - 24. 07),regular consumption of vegetables(OR = 9. 35,95% CI:1. 16 - 75. 01) and initiative to take measures to control salt( OR = 5. 05,95% CI:1. 19 - 21. 45)were more likely to use salt -restricted spoons. Residents of drinking(OR = 0. 13,95% CI:0. 02 - 0. 84)did not tend to use salt - restricted spoons. Conclusion For people with high NaCl intake and no restriction behavior,the level of health knowledge,especially the knowledge of sodium salt,should be improved and the good dietary habits including salt - limited support tools and correct methods should be promoted .

Temporal Pattern of DNA Breaks in Human Ovarian Cancer Cells after Exposure to Nanosecond Electric Pulses / 生物医学工程学杂志

This study aims to explore the temporal pattern of DNA breaks induced by nanosecond electric pulses (nsEP) in cisplatin-sensitive and cisplatin-resistant human ovarian cancer cells. Human ovarian cancer cells A2780 (cisplatin-sensitive subline) and C30 (cisplatin-resistant subline) were exposed to nsEP. Sham exposed groups were shame exposed to nsEP. Cell viability was determined using CCK-8 assay after 0 h, 4 h, 8 h, 12 h and 24 h, respectively, and the percentage of dead cells was calculated. The DNA break was detected with the alkaline single cell gel electrophoresis (comet assay), and the 75th percentiles of TL (tail length), TM (tail moment) and OTM (Olive tail moment) were measured. Cell viability displayed an early decrease and late increase, with the valley value seen at 8 h. Percentages of cell death and comet-formed in A2780 cells were higher than those in C30 cells (P < 0.05) at 8 h, respectively. TL, TM and OTM in C30 cells were less than those in A2780 cells (P < 0.05). The percentage of comet-formed correlated with that of cell death in either A2780 (r = 0.997, P < 0.05) or C30 (r = 0.998, P < 0.05) cells. DNA breaks induced by nsEP in cisplatin-sensitive cells differred from that in resistant cells, and DNA break resulted in fraction of cell death.
