Objective The age-related changes of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)immunoreactive nerve fibers in dental pulp-dentine complex were studied to explore the clinical signs of dental disease and their mechanism of aging. Methods Human premolars were collected and divided into 4 groups according to age. All samples were embedded in paraffin and cut into slices. These slices were treated by immunohistochemical reaction of CGRP. The image analysis was used for quantitative analysis and SAS software was used for statistics. Results By aging, the bundle of CGRP-immunoreactive nerve became thin gradually, the numbers of CGRP-immunoreactive nerve branch decreased, the staining density of CGRP-immunoreactive nerve also descended and the distribution of CGRP-immunoreactive nerve fibers into predine was shorter. Image analysis showed that the intergral optical density, volume density, length density and line length of CGRP-immunoreactive nerve were all decreased by aging. The differences in volume density, length density and line length of CGRP-immunoreactive nerve were significant among different groups, but this significance was not found in parameter of integral optical density of CGRP-immunoreactive nerve. Conclusions The numbers, branches and extent of distribution of CGRP-immunoreactive nerve fibers decreased by age. The sensitivity of CGRP-immunoreactive nerve may also be lower by age.

Objective To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the comprehensive control measures carrying out in schistosomia-sis endemic inner embankment of marshland and lake regions from 2006 to 2010,so as to provide the reference for further rational allocation of limited health resources and ultimately speeding up the procedure of schistosomiasis elimination. Methods With ref-erence to the requirements of the national schistosomiasis transmission control and phase goals for schistosomiasis control in Hubei Province,Jiangling County,one schistosomiasis control pilot of Hubei Province combined with the National Health and Family Planning Commission and Ministry of Agriculture,was selected for the study. A definition of the infection rates of human and do- mestic animals was used for endemic villages stratified by different layers(i.e.,the village with the infection rates of human and domestic animals ≥3% belonged to the first layer,≥ 1% belonged to the second layer;<1% belonged to the third layer). By us- ing the stratification method and cost-effectiveness analysis,the endemic villages stratified with the different layers were investi- gated and all the data of schistosomiasis endemic situation,cost and effectiveness of schistosomiasis control were collected and comprehensively analyzed from 2006 to 2010. Results In the effectiveness of schistosomiasis control,by the end of 2010, there were no first layer villages,there were 114 second layer villages,and there were 18 third layer villages in Jiangling Coun- ty. In the former first layer villages,the schistosomiasis patients decreased year by year ultimately to 0;but in the second and third layer villages,the schistosomiasis patients increased. In the fecal treatment and management,the coverage rates of harm- less sanitary latrines were 27.45% in 2009 and 48.74% in 2010 respectively in the second layer villages,whereas there were no harmless sanitary latrines in the first and third layer villages. In the 5 years,the input of comprehensive control measures was 10 266 3900 Yuan,much higher than the human and buffalo examinations and treatments,Oncomelania hupensis snail investi- gation and elimination(4 183 000 Yuan)and other labor inputs(2 239 500Yuan). In the ratio of cost-effectiveness,the annual ratio of unit cost(1% reduction of human and buffalo infection and 1 hm2 reduction of snail areas)increased yearly. In addition, the semi-logarithmic stability trend analysis of health inputs and cost showed that there was a stable balance between inputs and cost in the different layers(logarithmic values of any two layers of pair-wise comparison were <1,and in the third layer villages, the annual average logarithmic values of 5 years were <1). Whereas,in the first and second layer villages,the annual average cost was fluctuated(the costs was higher than the inputs). Conclusion The schistosomiasis situation is reduced year by year in Jiangling County from 2006 to 2010. Whereas,the main infection source(buffaloes)still exists and the present control mea- sures including fecal management should be further strengthened. In the resource allocation,in the field of health,the annual distribution of key inputs and unit-cost control also has a further space of adjustment.

Objective To analyze the time and space aggregation of acute schistosome infections in marshland and lake areas in five provinces(Jiangsu,Anhui,Jiangxi,Hubei and Hunan province)from 2005 to 2012,so as to provide the evidence for es-tablishing control strategies and taking effective control measures. Methods The data of patients with acute schistosome infection in marshland and lake areas in five provinces from 2005 to 2012 were collected and analyzed with the concentration ratio and circu-lar distribution methods for the epidemic season features and time aggregation of the infection,and with the spatial autocorrelation analysis for the space aggregation of the infected cases. Results According to the concentration ratio,the occurrence of acute schistosome infection had strong seasonality,and the concentration ratio was 0.758;according to the circular distribution method, the peak day of acute schistosome infections was 10th,August. The spatial analysis suggested that the infected cases highly gath-ered around Poyang Lake,Dongting Lake and Yangtze River Basin in 23 counties of the five provinces,and the result of spatial au-tocorrelation analysis showed that the spatial autocorrelation index I was 0.16(P=0.01). Conclusion The occurrence of acute schistosome infections in lake regions of the 5 provinces shows strong seasonality and space aggregation,therefore we can bring the control mark forward,and take targeted prevention and control measures in high aggregation areas of acute schistosomiasis.

Objective To assess the theoretical knowledge and practical skills of parasitic diseases among technicians from disease control and prevention institutions. Methods The Assessment on National Parasitic Disease Control and Prevention Techniques was organized in September,2015. Together,124 subjects from disease control and prevention institutions at prov-ince,prefecture or county levels in 31 provinces joined the assessment. A database was built consisting of subjects'basic infor-mation and assessment scores. Statistical analysis was used to analyze the scores by gender,age,professional title,institutions and places of participants. Results The average total score of all the subjects was 123.3,with a passing rate of 57.3%. The av-erage scores of male subjects(48 subjects)and female subjects(76 subjects)were 125.9 and 121.7 respectively;the average scores of the subjects aged under 30 years(57 subjects),between 30 and 40 years(61 subjects)and above 40 years(6 sub-jects)were 119.6,128.1 and 111.2 respectively;the average scores of persons with junior(94 subjects),intermediate(28 sub-jects)and senior(2 subjects)professional titles were 119.2,135.9 and 140.5 respectively. The average theoretical assessment score of all the subjects was 61.9,with a passing rate of 62.9%. The average practical skill assessment score of all the subjects was 61.4,with a passing rate of 58.1%. Conclusions The theoretical assessment results range widely. The theoretical knowl-edge results of technicians from disease control and prevention institutions are low in general. Therefore ,the specific training based on daily work needs to be enhanced.

Objective To analyze the spatial-time distribution characteristics of schistosomiasis in Jiangling County ,Hubei Province from 2006 to 2011. Methods The surveillance data of schistosomiasis of Jiangling County from 2006 to 2011 were col-lected,and a spatial database was established. The spatial-time permutation cluster analysis was performed by SaTScan 9.1.1 to detect the spatial-time cluster areas of schistosomiasis,and a risk map was drawn by ArcGIS 10.0. Results Compared to 2006, the infection rates of human,cattle and Oncomelania hupensis snails decreased by 47.67%,93.34%and 52.41%,respectively in 2011. The space-time permutation clustering analysis of the infection rates of human,cattle and snails showed 4,3 and 4 clusters,respectively,and all the clustered areas were distributed in inner embankment areas. Conclusions From 2006 to 2011,the schistosomiasis endemic situation presents a decline trend in Jiangling County. The detected cluster areas are the im-portant areas for schistosomiasis control. The space-time permutation statistics could be used in the analysis of endemic situation of schistosomiasis.

This report presented the endemic status of schistosomiasis in the People's Republic of China at national level in 2013. By the end of 2013,there are 184 943 schistosomiasis japonica cases. Meanwhile,nine acute cases were reported,and 4 cases reduced compared with that of 2012. A total of 29 796 advanced cases were reported;while 911 cases were determined as advanced cases and 1 700 cases were dead in 2013. Nationally,there were around 365 467.99 hm2 Oncomelania snail infested areas in total and 9.25 hm2 of them habituated infected snails in 2013. There were 287.28 hm2 of snail infested areas found in non?endemic areas historically. Moreover,962 065 cattle were estimated to be raised in endemic regions and 633 cattle were deter?mined as positive by stool examinations. The data showed that the endemicity of schistosomiasis in China decreased further. How?ever,challenges exist to reach the aims of the medium and long term national program. Further control and effective surveillance need to be strengthened as the endemicity of schistosomiasis is unstable in the areas after schistosomiasis transmission under con?trol or interruption.
