目的调查分析佛山市敬老院老年人口腔保健知识和健康行为,为社区老年人的口腔疾病防治工作提供必要的信息。方法采用问卷调查法,于2013年对佛山市5间敬老院共304名老年人进行口腔自我保健知识及健康行为进行问卷调查。结果 1)口腔卫生习惯:每天早晚刷两次牙的占32.6%,更换牙刷的频率为3个月内定期更换一次仅占11.6%,日常使用过牙线清洁口腔仅占4.6%。2)就医行为:调查的老年人中60.5%对自己的口腔健康不满意,但仅有4.7%的人会定期接受口腔健康检查。3)接受口腔健康信息宣教的途径:不知道或认为所在社区没有进行过关于口腔健康信息宣传的占83.7%。4)对口腔保健知识及常见口腔疾病的防治知识的测试结果普遍较差。结论佛山市敬老院老年人的口腔保健知识贫乏,应加强对老年人口腔健康教育信息的宣传,建立良好的口腔健康行为。     

Blockage of the NLRP3 inflammasome by MCC950 improves anti-tumor immune responses in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

The NLRP3 inflammasome is a critical innate immune pathway responsible for producing active interleukin (IL)-1β, which is associated with tumor development and immunity. However, the mechanisms regulating the inflammatory microenvironment, tumorigenesis and tumor immunity are unclear. Herein, we show that the NLRP3 inflammasome was over-expressed in human HNSCC tissues and that the IL-1β concentration was increased in the peripheral blood of HNSCC patients. Additionally, elevated NLRP3 inflammasome levels were detected in tumor tissues of Tgfbr1/Pten 2cKO HNSCC mice, and elevated IL-1β levels were detected in the peripheral blood serum, spleen, draining lymph nodes and tumor tissues. Blocking NLRP3 inflammasome activation using MCC950 remarkably reduced IL-1β production in an HNSCC mouse model and reduced the numbers of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), regulatory T cells (Tregs) and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). Moreover, inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation increased the numbers of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells in HNSCC mice. Notably, the numbers of exhausted PD-1⁺ and Tim3⁺ T cells were significantly reduced. A human HNSCC tissue microarray showed that NLRP3 inflammasome expression was correlated with the expression of CD8 and CD4, the Treg marker Foxp3, the MDSC markers CD11b and CD33, and the TAM markers CD68 and CD163, PD-1 and Tim3. Overall, our results demonstrate that the NLRP3 inflammasome/IL-1β pathway promotes tumorigenesis in HNSCC and inactivation of this pathway delays tumor growth, accompanied by decreased immunosuppressive cell accumulation and an increased number of effector T cells. Thus, inhibition of the tumor microenvironment through the NLRP3 inflammasome/IL-1β pathway may provide a novel approach for HNSCC therapy.

b HLH类型转录因子对于植物开花具有重要的调控作用.为了揭示b HLH转录因子在短日照植物水稻中的功能,利用反向遗传学方法构建了水稻Osb HLH1基因过表达载体,获得过表达转基因植株,分析目的基因在过量表达条件下的功能.结果表明:过表达Osb HLH1能够导致水稻的抽穗期推迟;Osb HLH1在水稻中的表达还具有光周期昼夜节律性,无论是在长日照还是在短日照条件下,Osb HLH1都在夜间具有表达高峰.组织特异性表达结果表明:Osb HLH1在水稻的不同器官中都有表达,但在叶片中表达较高,与光周期相关基因的表达吻合.     

南方丝绸之路对大理的影响及当前的对策

大理历史悠久,文化灿烂,风光秀丽,古道纵横。过去南方丝绸之路对大理的经济、政治、交通、文化、宗教等有较大的影响,今天在国家"一带一路"的大战略背景下,大理应该怎么办,大理学院应该怎么办,这是当代学人的新课题。以古代南方丝绸之路为出发点,建议今天大理的"一带一路"定位为交往之路、人情之路。     

知识辅助的机载MIMO雷达STAP非均匀样本检测方法

When the covariance matrix is estimated with training samples contaminated by target like signals, the performance of target detection in multiple input multiple output (MIMO) radar space time adaptive processing (STAP) decreases. Aiming at this deficiency, a knowledge aided (KA) generalized inner product (GIP) method for non homogeneous samples detection is proposed. Firstly the clutter subspace knowledge estimated by prolate spheroidal wave functions is utilized to construct the clutter covariance matrix offline. Then the GIP non homogeneity detector (GIP NHD) is integrated to realize the effective selection of training samples, which eliminates the effect of the target like signals in training samples on target detection. The simulation results show that compared with the conventional GIP method, the KA GIP method can screen out contaminated training samples more effectively and the target detection performance of MIMO radar STAP can be improved significantly. 〖JP2〗Thus the proposed KA GIP method is more valuable for practical engineering application.     

上海黄浦江两支流河流甲烷含量研究

甲烷是一种重要的温室气体,虽然目前大气中含量远小于二氧化碳,但排放增长率却大于后者.研究区域为上海市黄浦江支流苏州河和淀浦河,通过实验数据对比城郊春夏的甲烷排放的差异,探讨甲烷产生的机制及其与环境因子的关系,这将有助于研究河流甲烷排放对于环境变化的影响.研究结果认为河流甲烷主要来源于水中沉积物,其产生与水质、温度等因素相关;同时甲烷摩尔浓度与硝酸根离子质量体积比存在负相关性,与铵根离子质量体积比和有机碳质量分数存在正相关性.     

Study on the Centralization Strategy of the Blood Allocation Among Different Departments within a Hospital

By far, the researches on how to distribute blood products among different departments in hospital have not been further studied, though the problem of blood shortage and wastage that caused by improper blood allocation is severe, which may endanger patient’s lives and impose considerable costs on hospitals. In order to solve this problem, this paper mainly studies on how to distribute the blood items among different departments within a hospital and investigates the allocation approach with the novel management method by centralizing the inventory of several different departments. By integrating the blood inventory requirements of some departments, the hospital could reduce the rate of blood shortage and wastage effectively, release the pressure of the occupancy of resources and reduce the bullwhip effect of blood products. This paper illustrates the centralization principle in hospital and formulates the mixed integer programming model to work out the optimal allocation network scheme and the optimal inventory setting for every department. And the results of the numerical example demonstrate that this centralization method could considerably reduce blood shortage and wastage in hospital by about 72% and 90% respectively. Furthermore, it could decrease the total cost by about 108,540 RMB a month on blood supply chain management in the hospital and improve the effect of some certain surgeries by transfusing the fresh blood to patients.

基于稳健协方差矩阵的ADS-B压制式干扰抑制

压制式干扰是广播式自动相关监视(automatic dependent surveillance broadcast, ADS-B)系统面临的最常见且最有威胁的干扰之一。提出基于稳健协方差矩阵估计的ADS-B压制式干扰抑制算法。首先,考虑了ADS-B信号的脉冲特性,将协方差矩阵的求解转化成凸优化问题。然后,利用求解凸优化问题得到的稳健协方差矩阵设计最优权矢量。最后,对观测信号进行空域滤波,完成ADS-B的压制式干扰抑制,并对抑制结果进行性能分析。提供的仿真实验结果也验证了算法的有效性,该方法不需要知道ADS-B信号来向,且在非高斯噪声情况下同样有效。
