Objective To understand the status of knowledge awareness rates and influencing factors of clonorchiasis among the residents in 4 counties(cities)of Hunan Province,so as to provide the references for formulating the prevention and control strategy of clonorchiasis in the province. Methods A total of 1224 subjects were selected by the multi-stage cluster sampling method and investigated with questionnaires and face-to-face interviews. Results The clonorchiasis knowledge awareness rates of the residents were 15.67% in Yongzhou City,9.94% in Yueyang City,13.25% in Wangcheng County,and 21.96% in Tongd-ao County,respectively. In the whole province,the clonorchiasis knowledge awareness rates of the residents were 44.67%, 56.43%,60.95%,and 42.46% in the etiology,clinical manifestations,epidemiological characteristics and daily prevention,re-spectively. The logistic regression showed that the influencing factors of clonorchiasis knowledge awareness rates were the daily dining place,whether or not having the medical personnel in the family,the degree of attention to the relevant news reports, and the history of parasitic diseases. Conclusions The level of clonorchiasis than that in other areas,but the overall level of clonorchiasis knowledge awareness of the residents in Hunan Province is not high. Therefore,the relevant authority should strengthen the health education in clonorchiasis prevention knowledge including personal daily food hygienic knowledge. knowl-edge awareness rate of the residents in the west-southern areas of Hunan Province is higher

Objective:Based on the microarray data mining method, the function and pathway of differential genes were analyzed after the differential genes were screened. At the same time, the core genes that determine the prognosis of pediatric hepatoblastoma were screened by coexpression network, and their predictive ability was evaluated.Methods:The microarray expression profile of pediatric hepatoblastoma used in this study was from the European Institute of bioinformatics (http: //www.ebi.ac.uk/embl/). The deadline for data collection was December 31, 2018. Firstly, the differentially expressed genes (gene expression level increased to 2 times or decreased to 1/2 of the original) were screened by SAM method, then the core genes were screened by coexpression network model based on dimension reduction principle, and the gene regulation evaluation score was calculated by MCODE algorithm to evaluate its regulation ability in the whole network model.Results:According to the enrichment results of 213 differentially expressed genes, the highest enrichment degree of signal pathway was metabolic pathways (2 122.529). The misjudgment rate of signal pathway enrichment results was less than 0.001, and the misjudgment rate was statistically significant by SAM method ( P<0.001). A total of 213 differentially expressed genes in different prognosis groups were used as the basis for the construction of the coexpression network. A total of 12 differentially expressed genes were included in the coexpression network. Using the poor prognosis group as the experimental group, and the better prognosis group as the control group, the MCODE algorithm was used to calculate the gene regulatory ability score. The results showed that the highest gene for determining the prognosis control ability of children hepatblastoma was ADH1A gene with a score of 19. In addition, the regulatory ability scores of HAO1, ADH1B, ALDOB and DPYS genes were higher than or close to 5, so they could be considered as the core genes in the coexpression network module. Conclusions:According to the results of coexpression network model, ADH1A gene is closely related to the occurrence and development of hepatoblastoma in children, and its molecular biological evidence needs to be further explored to guide the clinical development of tumor targeted intervention therapy.

At present, four operating modes have been explored for physical-medical integration in China: hospital health guidance center, sports club health guidance, community health monitoring center and industry-university-research cooperation on the integration of physical and medical services. However, physical-medical integration is still in its infancy, the cultivation of physical-medical integration talents has been a key to the deep development of "physical-medical integration". The researches show that the current training mode of integrative talents mainly focuses on on-the-job training, which is faced with many problems such as serious shortage of specialized talents, imperfect certification system and single talent training mode. It is suggested that the training system, the curriculum system, the public opinion system and the professional standards should be improved so as to realize the scientific and sustainable development of physical-medical talents.
