ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To conduct the laboratory quality assessment between 12 blood stations in Hebei province, analyze the results and explore the accuracy and comparability of testing, so as to improve the level of testing ability and quality management. 【Methods】 With reference to the external quality assessment rules of National Center for Clinical Laboratories and combined with the instructions of quality assessment samples, daily testing process of the laboratories were assessed. The quality indicators include blood cell count (WBC, RBC, Hb, HCT, MCV, MCH, MCHC and PLT), biochemical items (TP) and coagulation parameters (FIB and FⅧ). 【Results】 There are still problems in laboratories in terms of personnel operation, instrument maintenance and the impact of different reagent batches, especially in biochemical items and coagulation parameters. The pass rate of biochemical items was the lowest, only 72.75%, and that of blood cell count was the highest, reaching 98.75%. 【Conclusion】 With the progress of the project, the quality monitoring level of daily blood sampling tests in the quality control laboratory of each blood station has been improved. However, it is still necessary for each laboratory to improve the testing ability and quality management to a higher level in Hebei.

ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the application of emergency medical service (EMS) of Hebei Province and preliminarily analyze its value in the treatment of acute stroke patients.@*Methods@#We collected data of 4 147 acute stroke patients admitted to the Emergency Department between January 2016 and December 2016 in 49 hospitals of Hebei Province. Patients were divided into the EMS group and non-EMS group according to the pattern of arriving hospital. The general data, the onset-to-door time, door-to-treatment time, thrombolytic rate, length of hospital stay and prognosis were compared between the two groups. LSD-t test, Mann-Whitney U or Chi-squared test or Fisher exact test was used for statistical analysis as appropriate.@*Results@#A total of 4 147 acute stroke patients were enrolled, including 589 patients (14.2%) with hemorrhagic stroke and 3 558 patients (85.8%) with ischemic stroke. A total of 750 patients (18.1%) were admitted to the hospital by EMS. The proportion of patients with hemorrhagic stroke who used EMS was higher than that of ischemic stroke (33.4% vs 15.5%, P<0.01). The median onset-to-foor time in the EMS group was less than that in the non-EMS group (1.75 h vs 4.57 h, P<0.01). The median time of onset-to-door time within 1 h in the EMS group was longer than that of the non-EMS group (0.67 h vs 0.53 h, P<0.01). There was no significant difference between the two groups in 1-<2 h period and 2-<3 h period. The median time of onset-to-door time of ≥3 h in the EMS group was shorter than that of the non-EMS group (5.0 h vs 9.47 h, P<0.01). In the EMS group, the proportion of patients with onset-to-door time <3 h was higher than that of the non-EMS group (66.13% vs 57.44%, P<0.01). Compared with the non-EMS group, the time of door-to-treatment time was much shorter in the EMS group (87 min vs 101 min, P<0.01). The length of hospital stay in the EMS group was shorter than that of the non-EMS group [11 (7,14) days vs 12 (6,16) days, P<0.01]. In the EMS group, 15.9% patients received thrombolytic therapy, whereas only 11.0% patients in the non-EMS group received this therapy (P=0.001). In the EMS group, 88.8% patients achieved more favorable outcomes at discharge, which was higher than that in the non-EMS group (85.5%, P=0.02).@*Conclusions@#EMS is considered as effective in shortening onset-to-door time, reducing door-to-treatment time, improving thrombolytic rate, reducing hospitalization days, and enhancing the prognosis of acute stroke patients.

ABSTRACT
Objective: To evaluate the incidence and mortality of malignant tumor in 2014 in Hebei Province according to the malignant tumor data collected by Hebei Provincial Cancer Prevention and Control Office. Methods: The registration data from 31 cancer registries in Hebei Province were evaluated according to the audit methods and quality control criteria formulated by National Cancer Registry Centre of China. Finally, the data from 23 registries were qualified as pooled data for final analysis. The incidence and mortality rates were stratified by area, gender, age and cancer site. The incidence and mortality of malignant tumors were estimated combining the population data in Hebei Province. Chinese standard population and Segi's world standard population in 2000 were used for the age-standardized incidence and mortality rates. Results: Twenty-three cancer registry areas covered a population of 14316772. The morphological verification percentage (MV%) was accounted for 76.41%, the percentage of death certificate only cases (DCO%) was 2.05%, and the mortality to incidence ratio (M/I) was 0.65. It was estimated that there were 173.8 thousand new cancer cases and 112.1 thousand deaths in Hebei Province in 2014, respectively. The crude incidence rate in Hebei Province was 235.26/105 (male 257.34/105, female 212.42/105), the age-standardized incidence rates by Chinese standard population (ASIRC) and Segi's world standard population (ASIRW) were 190.53/105 and 188.92/105, respectively. The crude cancer incidence rate and ASIRC were 235.59/105 and 181.85/105 in Hebei urban regions, whereas they were 235.10/105 and 195.38/105 in rural regions. The crude mortality rate in Hebei Province was 151.82/105 (male 189.11/105, female 113.24/105), the age-standardized mortality rates by Chinese standard population (ASMRC) and Segi's world standard population (ASMRW) were 122.99/105 and 122.27/105, respectively. The crude mortality rate and ASMRC were 151.24/105 and 112.78/105 in Hebei urban regions, whereas they were 152.11/105 and 128.38/105 in rural regions. The most common cancer types in Hebei Province were lung cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, esophagus cancer and breast cancer. The leading causes of cancer deaths were lung cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, esophagus cancer and colorectal cancer in Hebei Province. Conclusion: Lung cancer, gastrointestinal cancer and breast cancer are the most common cancer in Hebei Province. The prevention and control of malignant tumor should be implemented based on practical situation.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational drug use in elderly patients with depression. METHODS:A total of 96 elderly outpatients and inpatients with depression were selected from 39 mental health institutions of Hebei province during Jul. 2nd to 9th,2012. The drug use were surveyed by using self-made questionnaires on the basis of prescriptions/medical orders. The results of investigation were analyzed statistically. RESULTS:In this study,96 questionnaires were distributed and all were collect-ed with effective recovery rate of 100%. Among 96 respondents,95 elderly patients used a new type of antidepressants,mainly by selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors(SSRIs),accounting for 75.0% of the total. The top 5 drugs in the list of use frequency were sertraline(23 cases,24.0%,daily dose:25-200 mg),paroxetine(22 cases,22.9%,daily dose:20-60 mg),escitalopram(20 cas-es,20.8%,daily dose:5-40 mg),venlafaxine (13 cases,13.5%,daily dose:75-300 mg),mirtazapine (12 cases,12.5%,daily dose:8-30 mg). Among all respondents,22 patients (22.9%) were treated with mono-antidepressant and the other 74 patients (77.1%) were treated with drug combination therapy among which 47 cases were treated with two antidepressant drugs,22 were treated with three drugs,4 were treated with four drugs and 1 was treated with five drugs. 6 cases combined with mood stabilizers, 21 cases with antipsychotic,50 cases with benzodiazepine(6 of them combined with two benzodiazepine),2 cases with other hyp-notic drugs,14 cases with anxiolytic drugs and 2 cases with anticholinergic drugs. CONCLUSIONS:The drug use of elderly pa-tients with depression in mental health institutions of Hebei province basically in line with current trends. However,there are still the phenomenon of irrational drug use as drug dose meets or exceeds the prescribed maximum dose;many varieties are used in combination therapy;route of administration is improper.
ABSTRACT
Objective: The aim of this study is to estimate the cervical cancer burden in 2010-201 3 and analyze the mortality trend in the last forty years in Hebei Province, China. Methods: Cancer registry data from 21 cancer registries in Hebei Province were qualified and checked according to the regulations from the National Cancer Registry Center. The pooled data were stratified by age. The incidence and mortality rates were calculated and expressed in 1/100 000. Cervical cancer mortality data during the three periods in Hebei Province were extracted from the national death surveys and calculated. The estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) for the whole period in Cixian County and Shexian County was evaluated using Joinpoint regression model. Results: The estimated numbers of newly diagnosed cervical cancer cases and deaths in 2010-2013 were 21 942 and 5 770, respectively. The crude incidence rate (CIR) was 14.62/100 000; the age-standardized incidence rate using Segi's population standard by WHO (ASIRW) was 10.78/100 000. The crude mortality rate (CMR) was 3.74/100 000; the age-standardized mortality rate using Segi's population standard by WHO (ASMRW) was 2.69/100 000. The ASMRW displayed a decreasing trend in Hebei Province from 1973-1975 to 2010-2013. In Cixian county, the incidence rate decreased with an EAPC of-0.94% from 1988 to 2001. A significant increasing trend was shown from 2001 to 2013, with an EAPC of 10.67%; the mortality rate showed an increasing trend form 1988 to 2013, with an EAPC of 1.03. A similar increasing trend was observed for the incidence and mortality rates in Shexian county in 2000-201 3, with EAPC of 7.04 and 3.63, respectively. Conclusion: Hebei Province experienced a relative heavy burden of cervical cancer. Effective measures should be taken to prevent and control the cervical cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the Toxoplasma gondii infection status in pregnant women with history of adverse preg?nancy and risk factors in Bazhou area,Hebei Province. Methods A total of 302 pregnant women with the history of adverse pregnancy were chosen as respondents(an experimental group)in the hospital from March 2012 to December 2015,and 197 pregnant women without the history of adverse pregnancy as a control group. TOX?IgG and TOX?IgM were detected by using ELI?SA in two groups. The risk factors of Toxoplasma infection were surveyed by questionnaires. Results The total positive rate of Toxoplasma antibodies was 28.15%(85/302)in the experimental group,which was significantly higher than that[9.64%(19/197)]in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(χ2=24.76,P<0.05). The positive rates of TOX?IgM,TOX?IgG and TOX?IgM+TOX?IgG were 6.95%(21/302),18.54%(56/302),and 2.65%(8/302)respectively in the ex?perimental group,which were higher than 2.03%(4/197),7.61%(15/197),and 0%(0/197)respectively in the control group (χ2=6.07,11.67,3.76,all P<0.05). The questionnaire survey showed that the proportions of keeping pets,cutting board re?gardless,liking to eat hot pot or barbecue,eating raw meat,often eating in the restaurant in the pregnant women with Toxoplas?ma infection were higher than those in the pregnant women without Toxoplasma infection,and the differences were statistically significant(χ2=22.57,3.96,5.87,7.40,4.86,all P<0.05),and therefore,the above unhealthy habits may be important risk factors. Conclusions Toxoplasma infection could lead to adverse pregnancy outcomes. Therefore,the above?mentioned unhealthy habits should be avoided,especially during pregnancy period.
