    Abstract The immune system plays a pivotal role in defending against infection and cancer immunosurveillance during the onset and procession of malignant disease. Cancer patients are frequently immunocompromised and subject to refractory infection and relapse of leukemia, due to the cytotoxic agents and immunosuppressive glucocorticoids in the chemotherapy regimens. Bu Shen Hui Yang Fang (BSHY), a traditional Chinese compound, was widely used in China to enhance the immune system of leukemia patients combined with chemotherapy and effectively lowered their risk of infection, with specific mechanism unknown yet. Thus, we investigated the effects of BSHY on the immune system using immunosuppressive mouse models. By analyzing the immune system of immunosuppressed BALB/C mice induced by hydrocortisone, we found an increase of CD4

    Abstract The Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region (NX region) of Northwestern China is threatened by increased meteorological drought induced by climate change (CC) and constraints on water supply from the Yellow River. Thus, the NX region is representative of attempts to adapt to CC and variability in China’s arid regions. Field visits, a questionnaire and in situ inspections were conducted in 2012–2014 to understand people’s perception and awareness of drought and its impact, particularly with respect to adaptation strategies. We mainly focused on drought adaptation actions and planning implemented at the government level under the double pressures of drought and allocation. We described a suitable adaptation pathway for socio-economic sustainable development and discussed existing adaptation barriers. Construction of modern efficient water-saving agriculture lies at the core of drought adaptation, with socio-economic sustainable development being the ultimate goal. To achieve this, policies and institutional, engineering, technological, structural and social initiatives and measures—classified into macro adaptation strategies and specific coping measures—are implemented. Adaptation often encounters obstacles, e.g., policy issues from household contract responsibility systems, funding difficulties of low-income farmers, traditional behavioral habits and low education and literacy levels among farmers. The adaptation pathway involves the construction of modern efficient water-saving agriculture. Agricultural water savings are then transferred to developed industries, which back-feed socio-economic sustainable development in the NX region.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and its current status of diagnosis and management in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region of China.
    Methods: Using multi-stage cluster random sampling, all residents 40 years of age or older in Dawukou, Yinchuan, Wuzhong, and Jingyuan were randomly selected and interviewed with a standardized questionnaire. Spirometry was performed in all eligible participants and COPD diagnosis was made according to the spirometric criteria. The categorical variables were described by the constituent ratio or prevalence and compared by χ(2) test.
    Results: Among 4626 sampling subjects, 4055 participants completed the questionnaire and spirometry. The mean age was (56 ± 12) years. The overall prevalence of COPD was 8.9% (360/4055). The prevalence was significantly higher in males [13.0% (243/1869)] than in females [5.4% (117/2186)]. The prevalence of COPD was significantly higher in residents of Han nationality, rural residents and smokers (χ(2) = 4.10 - 94.65, P < 0.05 and P < 0.01). There was no significant difference in COPD prevalence among different regions of Ningxia; 8.7% (76/878), 8.1% (93/1142), 8.8% (90/1019) and 9.0% (101/1016) in Dawukou, Yinchuan, Wuzhong, and Jingyuan (χ(2) = 2.12, P > 0.05), respectively. Only 23.6% (85/360) of the COPD cases was diagnosed and only 23.3% (84/360) was treated. By lung function measurements, gradeII COPD accounted for 64.2% (231/360) of the cases.
    Conclusions: The prevalence of COPD in Ningxia was 8.9% (360/4055) in people 40 years of age or older. The current status of diagnosis and management of COPD in this region was far from satisfactory. It was necessary to strengthen the awareness of the importance of pulmonary function tests and early intervention of COPD.

    Abstract Objective: To analyze the genetic characteristics of EV71 strains isolated from HFMD cases in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in 2009.
    Methods: In 2009, totally 385 specimens from 344 HFMD cases were collected from Ningxia. Enterovirus isolation was performed in RD cell line from all the specimens. EV71 isolates were identified by specific RT-PCR from the positive cultures, and sequences of complete EV71 VP1 encoding region were determined for farther analyses.
    Results: Totally from 126 EV strains isolated in this study, 58 EV71 strains (46%) were identified. And complete VP1 sequences of 46 EV71 strains were determined, and genetic analyses were performed. It was showed that the nucleotide identity of 46 Ningxia strains with the representatives of A and B genotypes were 81.7%-82.8% and 83.1%-85.2%, and the amino acid identity were 93.9%-95.9% and 96. 2%-97.9% respectively. The nucleotide identity of NingXia EV71 isolates with representatives of subgenotype C1, C2, C3, C4a, C4b, and C5 were 88.3%-90.6% (97.9%-99.6%), 88.3%-90.1% (97.9%-99.3%), 87.8%-89.0% (97.6%-98.9%), 94.2%-98.9% (97.9%-100%), 91.8%-94.1% (98.6%-99.6%), and 86.7%-89.1% (97.9%-98.9%). Phylogenetic tree analysis revealed that 46 stains were clustered with reference stains of subgenotype C4 and the Ningxia EV71 isolates were belonged to subgenotype C4a.
    Conclusion: EV71 of subgenotype C4a had spread widely in Ningxia in 2009, which was absolutely predominant type in Ningxia in 2009 and also as the predominant type in China mainland since 2005.

    Abstract The Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region of China (Ningxia) is an important food production area in northwest China severely affected by drought. The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) were calculated based on monthly meteorological data to explore climate change and variation in drought intensity, duration, frequency, and spatial extent in Ningxia during 1972–2011. Results show that the SPEI is more applicable than the SPI for exploring climate change and drought variation in Ningxia. The Ningxia climate experienced a significant drying tendency. Annual SPEI decreased about 0.37 decade−1 during 1972–2011. Drought was exacerbated by this drying tendency. Regional average duration, maximum duration, intensity, and frequency of drought identified by the SPEI increased by one month, three months, 0.15%, and 36.1%, respectively, during 1992–2011 compared to the period of 1972–1991. The spatial extent of drought identified by the SPEI increased about 14.4% decade−1 in the spring during 1972–2011. Spatially, drought frequency increased from north to south. Average intensity (maximum duration) of drought calculated by the SPEI increased (decreased) northward and southward from the central arid area.

    Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incremental diagnostic value of virtual non-contrast (VNC) images derived from unenhanced dual-energy computed tomography (CT) for the diagnosis of choledocholithiasis by comparison with conventional unenhanced CT.
    Materials and methods: Eighty-nine patients with gallbladder stones who had undergone both abdominal unenhanced dual-energy CT and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) were retrospectively included. There were 53 men and 36 women, with a mean age of 54 ± 13 (standard deviation) years (age range: 41-67 years). VNC and conventional CT images were generated. Two independent radiologists evaluated the presence of choledocholithiasis in three reading sessions (session 1, conventional unenhanced CT images; session 2, VNC images; session 3, conventional unenhanced CT plus VNC images). The reading time to identify choledocholithiasis was recorded. Inter-reader agreement was measured by using the Cohen kappa (κ) test. Incremental diagnostic value of VNC imaging when combined with conventional unenhanced CT was assessed based on discrimination (area under the curve [AUC]) and clinical utility (decision curve analysis). The diagnostic performance of dual-energy CT and that of MRCP were compared using DeLong test.
    Results: Using the standard of reference, 39 patients (39/89; 44%) had choledocholithiasis. The diagnosis of choledocholithiasis was improved using VNC images in combination with conventional unenhanced CT (AUC, 0.877; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.808, 0.947) by comparison with conventional unenhanced CT alone (AUC, 0.789; 95% CI: 0.718, 0.877) (P = 0.033) and achieved almost perfect inter-reader agreement (κ = 0.88; 95% CI: 0.72, 1.00) for the diagnosis of choledocholithiasis, without lengthening the median reading time (16.2 s for the combination of conventional CT and VNC images vs. 14.7 s for conventional CT alone; P= 0.325). Based on decision curve analysis, adding VNC imaging to conventional unenhanced CT resulted in a higher net benefit among most of decision thresholds. No differences in diagnostic performance were found between the combination of conventional unenhanced CT and VNC imaging (AUC, 0.877; 95% CI: 0.808, 0.947) and MRCP (AUC, 0.913; 95% CI: 0.852, 0.974) (P= 0.458).
    Conclusions: VNC images derived from dual-energy unenhanced CT have incremental diagnostic value for the diagnosis of choledocholithiasis. Unenhanced CT in a dual-energy mode may be a useful tool for the diagnosis of choledocholithiasis.
