The control meaurees and endemic situation were analysed in Dali Prefecture,Yunnan Province. The infection rates of population and livestock decreased from 6.42% and 3. 81% in 2004 to 0.07% and 0.15% in 2008, respectively. No infected snail and acute schistosomiasis case were discovered in 2008. The proportion of villages with serious endemic situation decreased from 49.42% in 2004 to 7.51% in 2008, and 92.48% of villages reached the criteria of transmission control or transmission interruption. The endemic situation and snail status of Dali Prefecture have decreased significantly after the implementation of the comprehensive control project, but the consolidation and enlargement of the control result still remains a challenge.

Objective To study the effect of adeno associated virus hepatocyte growth factor K1(AAV‐HGFK1)on the prolifer‐ation of 4 different colorectal cell lines with or without KRAS or BRAF mutation .Methods The levels of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mRNA were determined in SW48 without KRAS or BRAF mutation ,Lovo with KRAS mutation ,SW620 with KRAS mutation ,HT29 with BRAF mutation by quantitative real time PCR ,respectively .After the infection of AAV‐HGFK1 ,the expressions of EGFR ,p‐EGFR and β‐actin were detected by Western blot and the proliferation of the cells were assayed using MTT .Results Lovo ,SW48 and HT29 expressed EGFR protein while SW620 did not .EGF promoted the proliferation of Lovo , SW48 and HT29 cells .AAV‐HGFK1 down‐regulated the phosphorylation of EGFR and significantly inhibited their proliferation . But EGF had no effect on proliferation of SW620 stimulated by EGF .Conclusion AAV‐HGFK1 exhibited its antitumor effects through EGF/EGFR signaling irrespective of the KRAS or BRAF mutation and may also act through other signaling pathways .

Objective To investigate the antimicrobial resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae strains isolated from multiple medical institutions across Hebei Province in 2015.Methods The bacterial data were collected from 53 member hospitals of Hebei Antimicrobial Resistance Investigation Net (HEBARIN) according to the unified surveillance program in Hebei province.WHONET 5.6 was used to review,analyze and summarize the surveillance data.The results were interpreted according to CLSI guideline 2014.Results A total of 2 408 strains of S.pneumoniae were included in this analysis.S.pneumoniae was the third most frequently isolated gram positive bacteria.More than 95% of these S.pneumoniae strains were susceptible to vancomycin and moxifloxacin.However,96.4%,89.3% and 67.4% of these strains were resistant to erythromycin,clindamycin,and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole,respectively.The antimicrobial susceptibility profile was similar between the strains isolated from adults and those isolates from children.Conclusions The antimicrobial resistance profile ofS.pneumoniae isolates in Hebei Province is generally consistent with the nation-wide data,except higher resistance level to a few antimicrobial agents.We should be alert to and control the emergence of resistant S.pneumoniae.
