Objective@#To understand the drinking water quality of rural schools in Harbin in the past five years.@*Methods@#According to the requirements of Harbin municipal drinking water sanitation monitoring program, rural schools were monitored for drinking water in dry and wet periods, water quality was tested according to the standard test method for drinking water (GB/T 5750—2006), and water quality was evaluated according to the standard for drinking water (GB 5749—2006).@*Results@#A total of 320 water samples were tested from 2014 to 2018, and the qualified rate was 75.63% in 5 years, which showed an increasing trend( χ 2=10.81, P <0.05). The qualified rate of drinking water in treated rural schools (79.41%) was higher than that in untreated rural schools(68.97%)( χ 2=4.38, P <0.05).@*Conclusion@#The drinking water sanitation of rural schools in Harbin is not optimistic. Supervision and monitoring of drinking water in rural schools, construction and management of treatment and disinfection facilities should be strengthened to ensure the safety of drinking water for teachers and students.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To investigate and analysis of hearing status and characteristics of China civil aviation air traffic controllers(ATC). METHODS With cluster random sampling, air conduction threshold data of 1498 ATC, who had finished the class Ⅲa medical assessment this year in a certain area were studied. The subjects were tested by pure tone audiometry, the prevalence rate of speech and high frequency hearing loss between gender groups were compared; After age correction, the threshold of different frequencies were compared between age groups. RESULTS The prevalence rate of hearing loss at speech frequency was 6.68％ in male and 1.97％ in female. The result of high frequency was 7.87％ and 1.23％ respectively. Both the threshold and prevalence rate of hearing loss of every frequency were higher in male(P<0.05); The threshold of 3000 Hz<PTA<6000 Hz; After age correction, all the threshold had statistical difference between the former age groups(P<0.05) and the result of relatively young age group was worse than the elder. (Male: corrected P<0.0083, Female: corrected P<0.017). CONCLUSION The prevalence of hearing loss in the subjects was lower than that in general population. Males were prone to it and more prevalent at 6000 Hz; The hidden trouble of noise-induced hearing loss is especially serious in the young age group; Individualized hearing protection should be implemented early.
ABSTRACT
Vitamin D is a cofactor responsible for autoimmune disorders. There is no agreement in the studies investigating the association between vitamin D and fibromyalgia. This study aims to combine the conflicting results of the primary studies which compared these patients with control groups regarding the serum concentration of vitamin D. This meta-analysis has been designed based on PRISMA guidelines. Relevant keywords were searched in PubMed, Science direct, Scopus, Cochrane, and Google scholar and primary studies were selected. After screening the eligible studies according to inclusion/exclusion criteria, we investigated the risk of bias in the selected studies and also the heterogeneity between the primary results using Cochrane (Q) and I-squared (I2) indices. The primary results were combined using inverse variance method and Cohen statistics as well as a random effects model. Publication bias was assessed using Egger test. Sensitivity analysis was applied to investigate the influence of each primary study on the final result of the meta-analysis. Suspected factors in the heterogeneity were assessed using meta-regression models. We entered 12 eligible studies in the meta-analysis including 851 cases compared with 862 controls. The standardized mean difference of Vitamin D between the two groups was −0.56 (95% confidence interval: −1.05, −0.08). Our meta-analysis showed that vitamin D serum levels of patients with fibromyalgia was significantly lower than that of control group.
