ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To understand the current status and relative factors of reproductive health (RH) on unmarried floating population.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Both quantitative and qualitative surveys were employed. Quantitative survey would include questionnaire admimistration, physic examination and laboratory test while qualitative study including focus/nominal group discussion, individual and resource persons interview. All of the investigative targets were selected under informed consent.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Among 1333 investigated unmarried floating population, the mean score on knowledge of RH was 12.97 +/- 12.20 (the full score was 100). Among studied persons, 10.20% of them were in favor of unmarried sexual activity while 50.64% of them did not care about it and 26.90% of them had ever experienced sexual activity. Among females who experienced sexual activity, 25.45% of them had induced abortion. It was found, through multivariate logistic analysis, that sexual activity at younger age, less education, agreed on having sexual activity under partner's request, sexual activity in half of a year, and pregnancy were the major risk factors on RH of unmarried floating population.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The problem on the current status of RH among unmarried floating population needs to be addressed as they were lack of knowledge on RH and having more risk factors on RH.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To compare the efficacy and adverse reaction of chemotherapy in CHOP protocol (CT-CHOP) alone or compared with Shenqi Fuzheng injection (SFI) for treatment of moderate malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Sixty patients were divided into 2 groups, the treated group (n = 32) treated with CT-CHOP plus SFI for 5.7 cycles on average and the control group (n = 28) treated with CT-CHOP alone for 5.6 cycles on average.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In the treated group, 18 patients were completely remitted (CR), 4 were partially remitted (PR), 7 were unchanged (NC), 3 were progressively deteriorated (PD), with the total remission rate of 68.8%, while in the control group, 13 were CR, 4 PR, 7 NC and 4 PD, the total remission rate being 60.7%. After treatment, the levels of CD3, CD4 and CD4/CD8 increased and CD8 decreased significantly in the treated group (P <0.05). Patients' quality of life (QOL) in the treated group was improved more obviously than that in the control group (P < 0.01), and the incidence rate of adverse reaction as leucopenia, neurotoxicity, and cardiac toxicity were lower in the treated group than those in the control group (P<0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Shenqi Fuzheng injection combined with CT-CHOP on malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphoma can reduce the adverse reaction of chemotherapy, ameliorate the compliance of patients to chemotherapy, and improve the immune function and QOL of patients.</p>
