Abstract:
Objective In order to master the current situation of Keshan disease in Yunnan province and to provide scientific basis for Keshan disease control and prevention. Methods Eighteen villages were selected as the investigation sites in 6 counties across all the Keshan disease wards in Yunnan province,where the residents were investigated. Then,the villages census data was collected,clinical examination aiming mainly on cardiovascular system was carried out,including electrocardiography and X-ray to the suspected patients. Correct diagnose of Keshan disease was made by the Diagnostic Standard of Keshan Disease(GB 17021-1997). At the same time,10 food samples and 10 hair samples for detecting selenium content in every investigation site. Results There were 9818 residents investigated in the 18 investigation sites in 6 counties,and 34 eases of Keshan disease were found,the total incidence rate was 0.35%(34/9818). Among the 34 Keshan disease eases,32 cases were latent Keshan disease,the incidence rate was 0.33%(32/9818); 2 cases were chronic Keshan disease,the incidence rate was 0.02%(2/9818). There was no any acute and sub acute cases be found. Most Keshan disease cases aged from 5 to 14,67.65% (23/34). Abnormal ECG rate was 6.90% (677/9818). Among 56 X-ray films,47 cases had a cardiothoracic ratio less than or equal to 0.50,83.93%(47/56),5 cases from 0.51 to 0.55,8.93%(5/56),4 cases from 0.56 to 0.60,7.14%(4/56). Selenium content was detected in 180 food samples and 180 hair samples. The average food selenium content (mg/kg) was 0.013±0.010,the lowest content in Yongsheng county (0.006± 0.001),the highest content in Tonghai county(0.027±0.009). The average hair selenium eontentwas(0.252± 0.078)mg/kg,with the lowest(0.145±0.043)mg/kg in Yoagsbeng county,the highest (0.297±0.062)mg/kg in Tonghai county. Conclusions The detected ratio of Keshan disease is low in Yunnan province. Most of Keshan disease patients age from 5 to 14. It was presented that the Keshan disease infectious agents were still strong and active. The foodstuffs and hair Selenium content is low in food and hair sample,and varies in different investigation site. It is necessary to supply selenium for prevent Keshan disease in the severe areas.
