Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of malaria in Jiangxi Province from 2010 to 2014 and to provide a reference for malaria control in the whole province.Methods Data on malaria cases in Jiangxi Province from 2010 to 2014 were collected through the Disease Reporting Information System of Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and Information System for Parasitic Diseases Control and Prevention.Descriptive epidemiological method was used to analyze the area distribution,time distribution and population distribution of the malaria cases.Results A total of 218 malaria cases were reported from 2010 to 2014 in the province,with an annual mean incidence of 0.097 3/100 000.One dead case was reported with a fatality rate of 0.46%(1/218).Of all 11 prefectures and 100 counties (cities,districts) in Jiangxi,65 counties (cities,districts)reported malaria cases.The top three counties (cities,districts) of malaria cases were Qingshanhu (22),Nanchang (15)and Jinxian (13),totally accounting for 22.94% (50/218).The cases were reported through the whole year,without obvious seasonal peak.The ratio of male to female was 30.14:1.00.The age of the cases mainly distributed around the ages of 20-< 60 years,accounting for 94.49% (206/218).The peak appeared in 40-< 50 years group,accounting for 32.11% (70/218).The three major occupations of the cases were farmer,worker and migrant worker (131,60.09%).The cases were mainly imported from Africa and Southeast Asia,whose proportion of imported cases was 76.19% (160/210) and 19.52% (41/210),respectively.Conclusions The incidence of malaria is stable with a slight increase in Jiangxi Province from 2010 to 2014.Control of imported malaria cases will be the main task in the future.

Currently, electronic health records (EHR) are largely created and maintained by physicians, and used just as an electronic record. In future, EHR will be a tool of information sharing and patients may participate in decision making for their own health with this tool. This article summarizes the concept of EHR, the problems it faces and how the mobile internet and cloud computing can promote the development of EHR.

Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a refractory, chronic non-articular rheumatic disease characterized by widespread pain throughout the body, for which there are no satisfactory therapeutic drugs or options. There are rich Chinese medical therapies, and some non-drug therapies, such as acupuncture, Tai Chi, and Ba-Duan-Jin, have shown satisfactory efficacy and safety and definite advantages of simultaneously adjusting mind and body. FMS is taken as a disease responding specifically to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) by the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2018. In order to clarify the research progress in FMS and the clinical advantages of TCM/integrated Chinese and Western medicine, the China Academy of Chinese Medicine organized a seminar for nearly 20 experts in Chinese and Western medicine, including rheumatology, psychology, acupuncture and moxibustion, and encephalopathy, with the topic of difficulties in clinical diagnosis and treatment of FMS and advantages of TCM and Western medicine. The recommendations were reached on the difficulties in early diagnosis and solutions of FMS, mitigation of common non-specific symptoms, preferential analgesic therapy, TCM pathogenesis and treatment advantages, and direction of treatment with integrated Chinese and Western medicine. FMS is currently facing the triple dilemma of low early correct diagnosis, poor patient participation, and unsatisfactory benefit from pure Western medicine treatment. To solve the above problems, this paper suggests that rheumatologists should serve as the main diagnostic force of this disease, and they should improve patient participation in treatment decision-making, implement exercise therapy, and fully utilize the holistic and multidimensional features of TCM, which is effective in alleviating pain, improving mood, and decreasing adverse events. In addition, it is suggested that FMS treatment should rely on both TCM and Western medicine and adopt multidisciplinary joint treatment, which is expected to improve the standard of diagnosis and treatment of FMS in China.

To scientifically evaluate the intervention effect of Chinese medicine preventive administration(combined use of Huo-xiang Zhengqi Oral Liquid and Jinhao Jiere Granules) on community population in the case of coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19), a large cohort, prospective, randomized, and parallel-controlled clinical study was conducted. Total 22 065 subjects were included and randomly divided into 2 groups. The non-intervention group was given health guidance only, while the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) intervention group was given two coordinated TCM in addition to health guidance. The medical instructions were as follows. Huoxiang Zhengqi Oral Liquid: oral before meals, 10 mL/time, 2 times/day, a course of 5 days. Jinhao Jiere Granules: dissolve in boiling water and take after meals, 8 g/time, 2 times/day, a course of 5 days, followed up for 14 days, respectively. The study found that with the intake of medication, the incidence rate of TCM intervention group was basically maintained at a low and continuous stable level(0.01%-0.02%), while the non-intervention group showed an overall trend of continuous growth(0.02%-0.18%) from 3 to 14 days. No suspected or confirmed COVID-19 case occurred in either group. There were 2 cases of colds in the TCM intervention group and 26 cases in the non-intervention group. The incidence of colds in the TCM intervention group was significantly lower(P<0.05) than that in the non-intervention group. In the population of 16-60 years old, the incidence rate of non-intervention and intervention groups were 0.01% and 0.25%, respectively. The difference of colds incidence between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05). In the population older than 60 years old, they were 0.04% and 0.21%, respectively. The incidence of colds in the non-intervention group was higher than that in the intervention group, but not reaching statistical difference. The protection rate of TCM for the whole population was 91.8%, especially for the population of age 16-60(95.0%). It was suggested that TCM intervention(combined use of Huoxiang Zhengqi Oral Liquid and Jinhao Jiere Granules) could effectively protect community residents against respiratory diseases, such as colds, which was worthy of promotion in the community. In addition, in terms of safety, the incidence of adverse events and adverse reactions in the TCM intervention group was relatively low, which was basically consistent with the drug instructions.
