RESUMEN
In China, rural doctors and primary health institutions take important responsibilities as the basic of public health system.They play the fundamental role in the construction of public health system in the rural area. However, primary public health is facing the challenge of poor infrastructure, weak human resources, and inefficient services in most areas. We employed field investigation and literature review to identify major problems on the implementation of primary health service and the development of rural doctors' team. The recommendation in this study might provide scientific evidence to improve the construction of public health system and policy-making in rural area in China.
RESUMEN
Objective To understand the correlation between the sleep duration and the dangerous self-injurious behaviors of junior school students in Shanghai.Methods By using systematic sampling methods, 21 junior schools were randomly selected from 17 districts in Shanghai.By using simple random sampling methods, 2 classes were randomly selected from each grade of students from each of the selected junior schools.By using the Survey Questionnaire for Health-related Behaviors of Teenagers in Shanghai(junior school students'edition), questionnaire surveys were performed to investigate the sleep duration and the related dangerous self-injurious behaviors of junior school students.Results A total of 6 414 students (of which male students occupied 49.1% and female students occupied 50.9%) were surveyed and the pass rate of questionnaires was 99.55%.The average age of the students surveyed was 13.28±1.84.21.1% of the students surveyed slept less than 7 hours every day, 69.6% thereof slept 7-8 hours every day and 9.3% thereof slept 9 hours or more every day.In the past 12 months, 47.2% of the students surveyed often felt lonely,71.3% thereof felt unhappy because of study stress or unsatisfactory school records and 9.3% thereof cancelled their daily activities for 2 weeks or more because of feeling sad and desperate.11.7% of the students surveyed conducted self-injurious behaviors, 11.9% thereof contemplated suicide, 6.9% thereof made plans for suicide.The sleep duration of the students surveyed was negatively correlated with the rate of psychological depression related to self-injuries as well as the self-injurious behaviors thereof.Conclusion Lack of sleep is common among junior school students in Shanghai, and sleep insufficiency is correlated with self-injurious psychology and behaviors.which suggests that it is very much necessary to provide junior school students with education that improves sleep.
RESUMEN
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To identify and determine the congener and level of microcystins in the source water of Taihu Lake.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Improved method of SPE combined with HPLC was employed to detect the concentration and varieties of microcystins in source water and bloom samples collected from Meiliang Bay, Taihu Lake.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The contents of two predominant microcystin components, MC-RR, and MC-LR, were relatively high in samples during warm months and correlated with the phase of algae growth. The maximum concentrations of MC-RR and MC-LR in water sample reached 3.09 +/- 0.53 microg/L and 2.39 +/- 0.41 microg/L during the period of water bloom in September 2004, respectively. Even without waterbloom, the concentration of MC-LR in source water sample was still higher than the guideline value.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The status of microcystin pollution in this region is serious and measures to monitor and control the growth of cyanobacteria are urgently needed.</p>
