Abstract:
Objective To describe the relationship of excessive iodine intake with intellectual development of children. Methods Iodine concentrations in drinking water and in urine were assessed in 13 townships in Feng, Pei and Tongshan counties of Jiangsu Province. Based on the median iodine concentration in drinking water, the townships were divided into six groups: water iodine < 100(A), 100-(B), 300-(C), 500-(D), 700-(E) and ≥900μg/L(F). IQ was measured. School children aged 8-15 years with a combined Raven test, weight, height, and urinary iodine concentration data were also collected and compared among 6 groups. Results For children' aged > 11 years, the mean IQ scores of group D(105.5), group E(105.2) and group F(102.3) were significantly lower (P < 0.01) than the mean IQ score of group A(108.9). IQ was related negatively to concentration of iodine in drinking water and in the urine(β=-0.803, β=-0.546 respectively). The IQ of children aged ≤11 years in group F was also lower than their counterparts in group A. Conclusion Excessive iodine intake appeared to impair cognitive development of schoolchildren. Results supported the premise that the maximum allowable iodine concentration in drinking water should be set at 300 or 800μg/L in urine.

Abstract:
Objective To explore the cause that chlorodisinfectant unable to control proliferation and propagationg of legionella pneu mophila f or a long time. It is to provide guide for seeking the way that can control proliferation and propagationg of legionella pneumophila in air-conditioning cooling water for a long time. Methods By periodically detecting increase or reduce of legionella pneumophila and concent ration of total organic carbon(TOC), No3--N, total bacterial member and alga in 7 air-conditioning cooling water and constituting ecopatterns of legionella pneumophila as well as tesing legionella pneu mophila in air at the same time, proliferation and propagationg of legionella pneu mophila were investigated in air-conditioning cooling water. Results The appear or disappear and raise or down of legionella pneumophila member has mainly relation to water temperature, total organic carbon(TOC), No3--N, and alga member(Raphidiopsis, Pediastrum and Freubaria). In the best ecoenvironment coped from air-conditioning cooling water, proliferative speed of legionella pneumophila can attain to a fold as an hour and keep the multiplicative proliferation in this experimentally 3 days. When legionella pneu mophila member in the water attained to 4.2×104/ml, legionella pneumophila was tested in the air 30 centimetre above the water. When legionella pneumophila just was given, its proliferative speed also attained to a fold as an hour in the ecoenvironment of alga member reduce but proliferative speed was more and more down. After 3 days legionella pneumophila member in the ecoenvironment of alga member reduce only was 1/160 as that member in the ecoenvironment of alga member increase. Conclusion Legionella pneumophila in the air-conditioning cooling water below 20℃ was rather liveless than rest. The proliferative speed of legionella pneumophila was significanly related with alga member, total organic carbon (TOC)and No3--N besides temperature. It might be a fundamentally controlling legionnaires'disease outbreak method to destroy legionella pneumophila ecoenvironment and reduced its proliferative speed to cut off its propagationg among cooling towers by a certain rate removing alga, total organic carbon(TOC)and No3--N in air-conditioning cooling water.

Methods 342 male homosexuality were surveyed in the bars using copies of a questionnaire and conducted voluntary test. Results Most of the participants were well educated, but had poor knowledge of STI/HIV, and they obtained the knowledge by watching TV or reading newspapers or through internet.59.1% were tested for HIV antibody and syphilis, 2 MSM were reported HIV antibody positive(1%)syphilis infected rate were 20.8%.11.7% participants considered themselves had high criticality, and 47.1% reckoned maybe had half possibility of infection.The median age of the first sex was 18 years, average number of male sex partners was 4.4, and 36.3% of the participants had female in the past six months.91.5% had unprotected anal intercourse with male partners within the nearest six months.Only 11.1% of them reported consistent condom use with their male sex partners.The main reasons of not using condom were unlike or unnecessary. Conclusion High-risk sexual behaviors were ubiquitous among MSM, poor knowledge of STI/HIV and low rate of condom using made it feasible occurring potential HIV epidemic in this population.It was imperative to carry out targeted interventions for MSM to turne the tide.

Abstract:
Objective In order to make plans foreffective intervention measures, to survey the capacity of developing reproductive tract infection(RTI)intervention in county level family planning(FP)system of Beijing city. Methods A crosssectional study was conducted to investigate the FP agencies and the staff of county level in Beijing city with standard questionnaires. Results 86% county level FP agencies in Beijing had propaganda equipments.86% counties in Beijing could develop diagnose and threat trichomonas, candidal vaginitis and 71% counties could diagnose and treat bacterial vaginitis.All the counties were not capable of diagnosing and treating other sexual transmitted diseases.FP staff grasped some basic know ledge on RTI which was the basic to accept further training on RTI intervention.they were willing to develop RTI intervention. Conclusion The existing equipments and technique provided basic to develop RTI intervention.Expanding the service and promoting the knowledge and skill among FP staff were necessary for further developing RTI prevention.

Abstract:
Objective To estimate the mother-to-child transmission of HIV and TTV in highly epidemic rural area of AIDS. Methods 228 high-risk women of childbearing age and 180 children aged 0-14 years were investigated.their medical histories of blood donation or transfusion are collected, blood samples are taken and serum are separated for anti-HIV and anti-TTV test. Results 39 HIV infected cases are found among 103 children who are born by HIV-positive mother after 1993.the number of children infected with HIV through vertical transmission increases from 1993 to 2001.5 antiTTV is positive among 76 children who born by anti-TTV positive mothers. Conclusion Mother-to-child transmission is one tranmisson route of HIV and TTV in highly epidemic rural area of AIDS.Vertical transmission of HIVis the major route for children with HIV/AIDS.the main reason leading to children HIV infection is the lack of prenatal HIV counseling and testing for the high-risk women of childbearing age and lake of interventions.the counter measures must be taken to control the further transmission of AIDS in order to protect the health of women and children in highly epidemic areas of AIDS.

Abstract:
Objective To provide evidence for osteoporosis(OP)prevention and control though probing the main risk factors related to the incidence of OP. Methods The result of 12 epidemiological studies on risk factors of OP from 1993 to 2003 were analyzed by Meta analysis, and odds ratio(OR)was the effect index.The number of case and control were 1 228 and 1 528, respectively. Results The pooled OR value are agedness(3.56), insufficient physical activity(2.83), low level dietary calcium(2.33), BMI under 20(2.06), smoking(1.98)and alcohol consumption(1.70). Conclusion Changing the bad living habit and increasing dietary nutrient can make for prevention of OP incidence.

Abstract:
Objective To inquire into the effects of heat stress on the body weight, thymus indexes, spleen indexes, respiration, rectal temperature and the protection function of supplementary L-Arginine(L-Arg)on heat-stressed rats. Methods According to the factorial experiment design for three factors, hebetic male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into A, B, C groups.The relevant indexes change such as the thymus index were observed in SD rats which were exposed under normal temperature and different hyperthermia with supplied different concentration L-Arginine by gavage. Results In normal temperature, the body weight, thymus and spleen indexes increase of the groups supplemented with L-Arginine were higher than those of the control groups gavaged with water(P < 0.05), but the changes of respiration and rectal temperature had no significant difference(P > 0.05).In the differenthigh temperature heat-stressed condition, the body weight, thymus weight and spleen weight of the heat-stressed rats all decreased in both supplementation of L-Arginine and no supplementation of L-Arginine groups, but these decresses were less in rats with supplementation of L-Arginine groups than those with no supplementation of L-Arginine groups.And the thymus weight and spleen weight of heat stress groups were temperature and time of heat stress dependent.The respiration and rectal temperature followed the increase of temperatare were accelerated and elevated within limits, but there was no significant difference between the groups supplemented with L-Arginine and group without supplemented with L-Arginine(P > 0.05). Conclusion Supplied suitable dose of L-Arginine can induce the increase of the body weight, thymus index and spleen index in normal temperature and relieve the atrophy of the thymus and spleen in heat stress.

Abstract:
Objective To construct expression vector and expression in E.coli of SARS virus E2 protein. Methods the E2 gene was inserted into pBV220 vector, the recombinant vector of E2 was identificated by restriction endouclease digestion and PCR.E2 protein was expressed in E.coli via induction in 42℃. Results the analysis for recombinant vector digested by EcoR I and Pst I and PCR demonstrated that the E2 gene was inserted into pBV220.SDS-PAGE showed that the relative molecular mass(Mr)of the expressed E2 protein was about 16600. Conclusion Expression vector of E2 protein was constructed successfully and expressed effectively in E.coli.these results provided an essential preparation for obtaining a larger quantity of recombinant E2 protein for further study.
