ABSTRACT
The novel H5N2 influenza virus, CA/SD/JT01/09, was isolated from the dog exhibiting respiratory signs in China in 2009. Dog to dog transmission of the novel H5N2 was previously confirmed. But interspecies transmission of the virus between dogs and the other animals has still remained unclear. To determine whether the virus can be transmitted directly from dogs to cats and chickens, we conducted contact exposure experiments. Susceptible cats and chickens were housed in the room which the novel H5N2 infected dogs were housed in, respectively. As a result, only one cat showed clear manifestations of H5N2 infection, but susceptibility of the other cats to H5N2 was confirmed by seroconversion. Eight of the exposure chickens showed clear manifestations of illness and 2 chickens died, and it demonstrates that chickens are susceptible to the recombinant H5N2. It implied that close contact between the H5N2-infected dogs and the cats and chickens resulted in spread of the virus to the sentinel animals.

Vitamin D(Vit D) belongs to steroids derivative and is also known as anti-rickets vitamin owing to its effect of anti-rickets.Pediatric metabolic syndrome is a group of complex,interrelated accumulation of risk factors that can lead to cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.Recently,more and more reports demonstrate that Vit D deficiency is associated with the risk for pediatric metabolic syndrome,but the association is disputed among the children which is a special group since they are in the period of growth and the metabolic indicators are in the dynamic changes among all ages.Therefore,research on the relationship between Vit D and the components of pediatric metabolic syndrome will provide some theoretical basis for early intervention and treatment by raising the status of serum Vit D in order to reduce the risk for pediatric metabolic syndrome.

ABSTRACT
Objective To study effect of eleetromyograghie(EMG) biofeedback training on three kinds of u- rinary ineontifienee.Methods Nineteen patients with urinary incontinence were treated by means of EMG biofeed- back training twice a day for six weeks.The treatment was performed with a device,which can detect the EMG ampli- tude of the pelvic muscle and deliver electric stimulation accordingly.Results After 6 weeks of treatment,the inci- dence of uretbrorrhea was reduced by 41%,and the frequency of micturition was decreased by 38% ,while the fre- quency of urination in one day reduced to 9 to 13.The general subjectively rated improvement rate of patients was 53% ,while the general objectively one was 58%.Conclusion Biofeedback training has significant therapeutic: eftects on patients with urinary incontinence.
