Objective To understand the epidemic situation and characteristics of malaria in Yunnan Province,so as to pro?vide the reference for malaria elimination. Methods The data of malaria reported in the information system were collected and analyzed in Yunnan Province from 2011 to 2013. Results From 2011 to 2013,totally 2 256 malaria cases were found in Yun?nan Province,with a morbidity of 0.162 8 per million and three of them were death cases. The local cases mainly distributed along the boundary and accounted for 29.48%,while the imported cases mainly came from Myanmar and accounted for 70.52%. The number of endemic counties with local malaria cases decreased from 37 to 10 during the three years. The number of import?ed cases reached the peak in May and the local cases in June. The patients were mainly aged from 20 to 49 years old(accounted for 70.58%),and 85.24% of the cases were peasants and laborers. Totally 86.66% of cases were laboratory confirmed cases, and 13.14% were clinically diagnosed. The proportions of cases reported by hospitals,health service centers and CDCs were 33.02%,37.06% and 29.92%,respectively. Conclusions The prevalence of malaria in Yunnan Province decreased from 2011 to 2013. The work of malaria cases double?checked by province?level CDCs is effective. However,the awareness and accurately diagnostic capability of clinical doctors still should be strengthened.

Objective To understand the status of knowledge,attitude and behavior on malaria of residents in endemic areas of Yunnan Province.so as to provide evidences for implementation of Global Fund MaIaIia Control Program.Methods The subjects were selected by the method of multi-level sampling in 47 countries and were investigated by questionnaire.Results A toatl of 40 940 households in 883 natural villages were investigated.39 234 questionnaires were effective with an effective rate of 95.83%.A total of 60.32%interviewees knew malaria symptom and signs,22.41%of them knew the route of transmission,17.65% knew the preventive measures.57.61% had the willing to use insecticide-treated bed nets(ITNs),and 8.68%of the households owned ITNs.Conclusion Health edueion and promotion regarding critical malria interventions should be strengthened in the following implementation.

Objective:To explore the short-term efficacy and safety for the new adjuvant therapy of programmed cell protein-1(PD-1)inhibitor combined with Oxaliplatin+Tegafur(SOX)in locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma. Methods:Retrospective collection of clinical data from 72 locally advanced(stage Ⅲ)gastric adenocarcinoma patients admitted to our gastrointestinal surgery department from January 2020 to July 2020,according to different treatment plans,patients were divided into a control group(n=36)and an observation group(n=36).The control group received SOX chemotherapy regimen,while the observation group received PD-1 inhibitor combined with SOX regimen.Both groups of patients underwent chemotherapy for 3 cycles,and were re-evaluated after resting for 3-4 weeks.Patients with no disease progression and tolerable surgery underwent D2 gastric cancer radical surgery.The overall survival(OS),pathological complete response(pCR)rate,progression free survival period(PFS),RO resection rate,objective response rate(ORR),disease control rate(DCR)and adverse drug reaction were compared between the two groups. Results:The pCR rate,ORR and DCR of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group[pCR rate:25%(9/36)vs 5.6%(2/36),x2=5.258,P=0.022;ORR:58.33%(21/36)vs 25.00%(9/36),x2=8.229,P=0.004;DCR:88.89%(32/36)vs 69.44%(25/36),x2=4.1 26,P=0.042].The incidence of adverse reactions such as elevated ALT,elevated AST,and hand foot syndrome during neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the observation group was significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The incidence of other adverse reactions was not significantly difference between the two groups of patients(P>0.05),and there were no neoadjuvant chemotherapy related death events in both groups.The R0 resection rates of the two groups were 97.22%and 91.67%,respectively(x2=1.059,P=0.303).The median OS and median PFS of 72 patients were 36 and 1 3 months,respectively.The 2-year OS rate of the two groups were 82.2%and 71.5%,respectively.Kaplan Meier survival curve analysis showed that the OS rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group(x2=4.240,P=0.039);the median PFS of the observation group was higher than that of the control group at 14 and 1 1 months,respectively(x2=4.173,P=0.041);COX univariate regression analysis did not identify any factors affecting survival of locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma. Conclusion:The neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma with PD-1 inhibitor combined with SOX regimen is safe and effective,and the adverse reactions are controllable.

Objective:
To establish the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method for detection of variola virus.
Methods:
One set of primers were designed for recognizing 5 distinct sequences on variola virus-specific gene HA. To optimize the reaction temperature and primers screening, and the sensitivity and specificity of this method for variola virus (VARV) detection were evaluated.
Results:
Rapid detection of variola virus by LAMP assay was completed within 60 min at 63 ℃. The sensitivity of LAMP with detection limits of 1 pg/μl was 10 times higher than that of PCR, that is, the LAMP sensitivity was 3.37×105 copies/μl, and the PCR sensitivity was 3.37×106 copies/μl. and the result of 2 kinds of other virus were negative, showing that it had a good specificity.
Conclusions
The method reported here demonstrates a potential and valuable means for detection of VARV. The LAMP assay is suitable for wide-area sample screening and on-site detection of variola virus in grassroots units, for on-site and primary quarantine, medical units for rapid diagnosis.
