Objective To study the epidemical status of notifiable infectious diseases in navy from 1992 to 2006,in order to set a scientific basis for working out the measures of preventing from infectious diseases.Methods The reported data were classified by the current national approach and descriptively analyzed concerning infectious diseases during a period of 1992 to 2006 based on the Infectious Disease Surveillance and Reporting System of Chinese PLA.Results 6626 cases of 34 different notifiable infectious diseases were reported in PLA Navy during 1992-2006.Class A,B and C notifiable infectious disease were all reported.There was one death case.Viral hepatitis,dysentery and pulmonary tuberculosis ranked the top situation composing 78.84% of the total cases.The types of infectious diseases during 1992-1999 were less than that during 2000-2006,while the incidence was opposite.Gastrointestinal diseases were the major infectious diseases,accounting for 50.89%.The reported incidence of gastrointestinal diseases declined,and that of respiratory diseases ascended.Blood-borne and sexually transmitted infectious diseases accounted for 18.04%.Natural focal and arthropod-borne disease accounted for 4.95%.Conclusion Certain achievements in prevention and control of infectious diseases have been made since the present century.However,gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases should remain to be regarded,especially for viral hepatitis,pulmonary tuberculosis,dysentery,chicken pox and mumps.In the meantime the propaganda and education on the knowledge of disease prevention should be strengthened among the focus groups.
2.Astrocyte elevated gene 1 in malignant tumor
Journal of International Oncology 2012;39(5):341-344
Recent studies suggest that astrocyte elevated gene 1 ( AEG-1 ) is almost highly expressed in all types of malignant solid tumors and correlates with poor prognosis,which becomes a prognostic marker for many kinds of tumors.As a strongly basic protein,AEG-1 possesses a transmembrane domain and multiplenuclear localization signals.It is present in the cell membrane,cytoplasm and nucleus.As an oncogene,AEG-1 palys an important role in a virety of malignant biological behaviors of cancer,which range from cell proliferation,apoptosis,migration,adhesion,invasion to tumor angiogenesis and chemotherapy resistance.Its critical role in tumor genesis and progression has made it a potential therapeutic target.
