Objective To explore the application value of dipstick dye immuno-assay (DDIA) for screening the schistosomiasis chemotherapy targets in the low endemic areas of Xiaogan City.Methods The residents aged 6-65 years in a village in the low endemic areas of schistosomiasis of Xiaogan City were selected and tested by the methods of fecal examination,DDIA,indirect hemagghitination (IHA),enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and inquiry,and the results of fecal examination were determined as the gold standard.Results The Youden' s indices of IHA,DDIA,ELISA and inquiry were 0.74,0.72,0.62 and 0.30,respectively,and the consistency rates of them were 93.38%,91.99%,81.53% and 70.03%,respectively.It took 16.70,4.95,4.12,5.63 and 2.44 Yuan screening one patient with the fecal examination,IHA,DDIA,ELISA and inquiry,respectively.Conclusion The validity of DDIA with simple operation and low cost for screening the schistosomiasis chemotherapy targets is satisfying,and the method is suitable for large scale screening in low endemic areas.

ObjectiveTo explore an appropriate way and its effect on neonatal resuscitation training in Uygur area of Xinjiang, China.MethodsFrom October 2014 to February 2015, obstetricians, neonatologists (pediatricians), midwives and anesthetists from Turpan Region Central Hospital, Turpan City People's Hospital,Aksu Region First People's Hospital and other five hospitals at county level were chosen to attend the training course of neonatal resuscitation. The textbook for the course was Guidelines for Resuscitation which had been translated to Uygur language from English and the class was lead by less than ten Uygur trainees with Mandarin and Uygur when necessary in addressing some difficult or important points. The duration of theoretic courses took 6 h and the operational course took 8 h. Theorectical exam was taken before, immediately after and three months after (before re-training) the training. The accuracy rate was applied to assess the effect of training through evaluation for each resuscitation techniques. Repeated measures analysis of variance andChi-square test were used for statistical analysis.ResultsA total of 220 health care staff were included in the study. The average score of theoretical examination after the training was higher than that before (85.68±8.52 vs 65.37±12.08,t=18.532,P=0.000), and that before re-training was lower than that after training (80.08±12.70 vs 85.68±8.52,t=-4.943,P=0.000). After the training, the proportions of Done in each item, including rapid assessment, preliminary resuscitation, correct positive pressure artificial ventilation, external cardiac massage together with artificial ventilation, proper endotracheal intubation and proper administration of resuscitation drugs, were all higher that those before [72.7%(160/220) vs 1.4%(3/220), 40.0%(88/220) vs 0%(0/220), 15.9%(35/220) vs 0%(0/220), 37.7%(83/220) vs 8.2%(18/220), 51.8%(114/220) vs 5.9%(13/220) and 48.2%(106/220) vs 10.5%(23/220), allP<0.01]. But at the time before re-training, only one proportion ofDone which was higher than those immediately after initial training was proper administration of resuscitation drugs [49.6%(109/220) vs 48.2%(106/220),χ2=9.129,P<0.05].ConclusionBilingual (Mandarin and Uygur) neonatal resuscitation training in Xinjiang minority areas might enhance the recovery skills for local medical personnel.

Objective To analyze the clinical features and risk factors of urinary tract infection in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus ( GDM).Methods A total of 1 068 patients with GDM were enrolled from Nanshan People's Hospital between January and December 2014.The incidence of urinary tract infection, pathogens distribution and drug resistance rate were retrospectively analyzed.Multivariate Logistic regression was performed to analyze the risk factors of urinary tract infection in GDM patients . Results Among 1 068 patients with GDM, 130 (12.17%) were compliacated with urinary tract infection One hundred of forty-two strains of pathogens were detected in the middle urine culture sample from urinary tract infection patients, Escherichia coli (67.61%,96/142) and Klebsiella pneumonia (11.97%,17/142) were the most frequent strains.Escherichia coli has high resistance to semi-synthetic penicillins, quinolones and sulfonamides, and relatively low resistance rate to carbapenems , aminoglycoside antibiotics and nitrofurantoin.Klebsiella pneumoniae was completely resistant to ampicillin , while was completely sensitive to carbapenems, aminoglycoside antibiotics , piperacillin/tazobactam, aztreonam.Logistic regression analysis showed that glycated hemoglobin >6.5%(OR=8.631, 95%CI 2.969-25.090, P<0.01), fasting blood glucose>5.3 mmol/L(OR=3.116, 95%CI 2.040-4.761,P<0.01), low density lipoprotein >2.6 mmol/L (OR=1.649, 95%CI 1.083-2.511, P<0.05), triglyceride>1.7 mmol/L(OR=2.986, 95%CI 1.256-7.112, P<0.05), history of urinary tract infection (OR=5.561,95%CI 1.315-23.519, P<0.05) and history of maternity(OR=1.631, 95%CI 1.018-2.614, P<0.05) were the independent risk factors for urinary tract infection in GDM.Conclusion The incidence of urinary tract infection in patients with GDM is high.The control of blood glucose and blood lipids , enhanced health education for pregnant women with history of urinary tract infection and history of childbirth may reduce the occurrence of urinary tract infection in GDM patients.
