Successful drought planning is dependent on the generation of timely and accurate early warning informa-tion.Yet there is little evidence to explain the extent to which crop farmers pay attention to and assimilate early warning drought information that aids in the policy for-mulation in support of drought risk reduction.A socioe-cological survey,using a structured questionnaire administered to 426 crop farming households,was carried out in the Talensi District of the Upper East Region,Ghana.The data analytic techniques used were frequency tables,relative importance index,and multinomial logistics embedded in SPSS v.20 software.The results show that crop farmers predominantly rely on agricultural extension officers for early warning drought information,with an estimated 78％of them paying little to very much attention to the information.The likelihood ratio Chi-square test showed that there is a significant improvement in fit as X2(20)=96.792,p＜0.000.Household status,average monthly income,and age were the significant predictors for crop farmers paying no attention at all to early warning drought information,while household status was the only significant factor among those paying a little attention.The drive to build a climate-resilient society with effective early warning centers across Ghana will receive 60％lower support from crop farmers paying no to a little attention as compared to farmers paying very much attention to early warning drought information.Broader stakeholder engagements should be carried out to harness inclusive support from crop farmers to build a climate-resilient society in Ghana.

目的:探讨适宜研究生流行病学课程的教学模式，为改善和提升教学质量提供科学思路和依据。方法:课程按教学进度分三个阶段进行，即传统教学、传统教学+案例讨论、在线理论学习+案例讨论。分别比较三个阶段学生测试成绩的变化，并对学生对各阶段教学方式的倾向性进行问卷调查。结果:214名学生在三个阶段的测试成绩均呈现上升趋势，且差异有统计学意义（n P<0.001）。多数学生更注重知识的系统性和重点知识的讲解，多数学生认为理论知识和案例讨论的教学时间应均衡分配，更多学生选择与专业相关的中文文献作为教学案例，多数
当前新型冠状病毒肺炎（新冠肺炎）仍在全球流行，我国疫情防控长期面临“外防输入、内防扩散”的压力。进入常态化防控阶段后，我国陆续发生多起新冠肺炎本土疫情，大部分为零星散发，少部分发生聚集或暴发。冬、春季是疫情高发季节，边境和口岸城市是高发区，重点人群主动监测是疫情早发现的有效途径。通过采取一系列综合防控措施，包括大规模核酸筛查、追踪隔离密切接触者、分类管理风险地区和人群、增加社交距离和严格出行管理等，大部分新冠肺炎本土疫情均较快得到有效控制，为我国疫情防控积累了宝贵的经验，但是一系列聚集性疫情的发生，暴露出
Targeted sequencing and whole exome sequencing are the most common approaches used to detect causative variants in Mendelian diseases; however, using DNA-based sequencing techniques, the current molecular diagnostic yield is at best 50%. In recent years,
目的:分析儿童肥胖的测量学指标BMI相关基因序列变异与发生缺血性心脏病（IHD）、急性冠心病事件（MCE）的关联。方法:利用中国慢性病前瞻性研究中6.9万余名具有全基因组遗传数据的样本，剔除基线时患有冠心病、脑卒中、恶性肿瘤的个体，最终纳入64 454人。采用既往全基因组关联研究显著性遗传位点构建儿童BMI遗传风险评分，并根据其五分位数进行分组，最低五分位组为低遗传风险组，最高五分位组为高遗传风险组。采用Cox比例风险回归模型计算儿童BMI的遗传风险评分与IHD、MCE发生风险的关联。结果:研究对象平均随
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been an unmitigated disaster for society and the economy worldwide. However, much remains unknown about the pathogenesis of, treatment methods for, and preventive measures against COVID-19. Single-cell
目的:观察成骨分化后的去分化骨髓间质干细胞（differentiation osteogenic bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells，De-BMSCs）移植对前十字韧带（anterior cruciate ligament，ACL）重建术后腱骨界面骨形成的促进作用，并探索De-BMSCs成骨分化效应增强的分子机制。方法:从家兔胫骨和股骨中提取BMSCs，经成骨诱导分化后用普通培养基进行去分化培养制备De-BMSCs，鉴定De-BMSCs的干细胞特性。建立家兔ACL重建模型
目的:探讨外周血单个核细胞（PBMC）Toll样受体3（TLR3）信号通路的活化在重组HBsAg（rHBsAg）免疫应答中的作用及机制。方法:收集13名健康献血者外周血制备血液制品时滤除的白细胞，分离培养PBMC后分别给予TLR3激动剂聚肌苷酸-聚胞苷酸（Poly I：C组）及PBS（对照组）处理，48 h后收集部分细胞，采用流式细胞术检测TLR3信号通路蛋白水平；在活化（Poly I：C组）/未活化（对照组）TLR3信号通路后，采用rHBsAg处理两组PBMC 72 h，采用流式细胞术检测PBMC中树突

患者，男性，年龄66岁，身高170 cm，体重70 kg，因“摔伤后右髋部疼痛伴活动受限3 h”入院。患者既往无高血压、糖尿病、过敏或哮喘等病史，有打鼾史多年，但是无憋喘、喘鸣或嗜睡；2年前患者出现性功能下降和排尿困难，行膀胱造瘘术；1年前出现步态不稳，脑CT和MRI检查结果无明显异常；近半年出现2次低血压晕厥；3个月前认知功能下降，诊断为小脑型多系统萎缩，未规律服用任何药物。此次摔伤亦是源于再次发生低血压晕厥。化验结果显示血常规、生化、心肌酶、肌钙蛋白和B型钠尿肽前体等基本正常。辅助检查：ECG示窦性心
