Spatiotemporal and Seasonal Trends of Class A and B Notifiable Infectious Diseases in China: Retrospective Analysis.

Background: China is the most populous country globally and has made significant achievements in the control of infectious diseases over the last decades. The 2003 SARS epidemic triggered the initiation of the China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention (CISDCP). Since then, numerous studies have investigated the epidemiological features and trends of individual infectious diseases in China; however, few considered the changing spatiotemporal trends and seasonality of these infectious diseases over time.

Small-scale spatiotemporal epidemiology of notifiable infectious diseases in China: a systematic review.

Background: The prevalence of infectious diseases remains one of the major challenges faced by the Chinese health sector. Policymakers have a tremendous interest in investigating the spatiotemporal epidemiology of infectious diseases. We aimed to review the small-scale (city level, county level, or below) spatiotemporal epidemiology of notifiable infectious diseases in China through a systematic review, thus summarizing the evidence to facilitate more effective prevention and control of the diseases.

[Biomechanical analysis of the correlation between sacral tilt displacement and L₅S₁ disc degeneration].

Objective: To biomechanical analysis of the correlation between sacral tilt displacement and L₅-S₁ disc degeneration.

Methods: From July 2011 to July 2013, 81 patients with lumbar disc herniation and sacroiliac joint disorder including 45 males and 36 females with an average age of (45.39±1.

[Biomechanical analysis on the correlation between iliac rotation displacement and L(4,5) disc degeneration].

Objective: To study the biomechanical relationship between iliac rotation displacement and L(4,5) disc degeneration, and to provide clinical evidences for the prevention and treatment of L(4,5) disc degeneration and herniation.

Methods: From March 2012 to February 2014,68 patients with lumbar disc herniation combined with sacroiliac joint disorders were selected. Among them, 42 patients with L(4,5) disc herniation combined with sacroiliac joint disorders included 22 males and 20 females, ranging in age from 19 to 63 years old, with an average of (51.

[Epidemiology investigation and biomechanics analyses for the correlation between sacroiliac joint disorder and lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration].

Objective: To study the correlation between lumber disc degeneration and sacroiliac joint disorder, in order to provides a new understanding concepts and therapeutic approach for the prevention and treatment of chronic intractable low back pain.

Methods: From August 2009 to October 2010,129 cases with lumbar disc herniation were studied with epidemiological methods. Among them, 61 patients with L4, disc herniation included 37 males and 24 females, ranging in aged from 20 to 75 years old, duration of the disease ranged from 1 to 144 months; The other 68 patients with L5S1 disc herniation included 32 males and 36 females,ranging in aged froml8 to 76 years old,duration of the disease ranged from 0.

[X-ray characteristics of sacroiliac joint disorders and its clinical significance].

Objective: To study the X-ray characteristics of sacroiliac joint disorders and its clinical significance,so as to provide clinical diagnosis basis for Tuina treatment of sacroiliac joint disorder.

Methods: From July 2009 to March 2011,104 patients with sacroiliac joint disorder were reviewed,including 64 males and 40 females,ranging in age from 18 to 81 years, with an average of (45.39 +/- 1.

[Effects of manipulation on mechanical properties of cervical and degree of fatigue in patients with cervical spondylosis].

Objective: To explore the mechanism of manipulation in treating cervical spondylosis.

Methods: From August 2008 to December 2009, 65 patients with cervical spondylosis were randomly divided into manipulation group and traction group. There were 32 patients in manipulation group, of which 30 cases obtained followed-up, including 10 males and 20 females, ranging in age from 30 to 65 years,with an average of (42.

[A review of evaluation scales for therapeutic effect of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy].

Various kinds of therapies have been clinically applied to treat cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (CSR). However, the evaluation standards of therapeutic effect in different medical institutions are quite different from each other at present, thus bringing about many difficulties in the therapeutic effect evaluation of CSR treatment. Although many CSR-related scales have been developed, none of them could completely represent or reflect the exact curative actualities of CSR in China.

[Capillary blood flow with dynamical change of tissue pressure caused by exterior force].

A hemodynamic model of capillary and tissue, in which tissue pressure changed with swing manipulation of Traditional Chinese Medical Massage (TCMM), is presented in this paper to explain the hemodynamic mechanism of swing manipulation. Blood flowed in capillary with low Reynolds number. Plasma exuded through capillary according to the Starling's Law.
