Objective To understand the infection status and variation tendercy of Enterobius vermicularis infection among children at national monitoring spots of soil-transmitted nematodosis from 2006 to 2010,and master the epidemic regularity,so as to provide the evidence for making control strategy and evaluating the control effect. Methods A total of 22 national monitor-ing spots of soil-transmitted nematodosis were established according to the National Surveillance Program of Soil-Transmitted Ne-matodiasis(Trial),and the children aged 3-12 years were examined through adhesive cellophane anal swabs,then the infec-tion rates of children with different ages,genders,nationalities and education levels were analyzed. In addition,the advantage, disadvantage,opportunity and threat of the monitoring work were analyzed by SWOT analysis. Results A total of 17 068 chil-dren were examined in 22 monitoring spots from 2006 to 2010,and 1 363 of them were found being infected with E. vermicu-laris,the average infection rate was 7.99%,and the infection rates of male and female children were 7.39%and 8.70%,respec-tivel;the average infection rates in each year were 10.01%,9.68%,7.41%,6.96%and 6.57%,respectively. From 2006 to 2009,the infection rates of E. vermicularis in children in Fujian Province was the highest,which were 56.15%,53.42%, 37.82%and 49.53%,respectively,but in 2010,the infection rate in Guangdong Province(46.06%)was the highest. The fur-ther analysis demonstrated that the female children,3-6 age group,Li nationality and children at kindergarten stage had relative-ly high infection rates. The SWOT analysis showed that the advantage of E. vermicularis monitoring in China was its wide cover-age and continuity,and the disadvantage was the relatively small investment from the government,the opportunity was that the national monitoring spot could drive the monitoring work at the provincial,county and other levels,and the threat was that the work was paid less and less attention to in recent years. Conclusion Though the infection rate of E. vermicularis in children at national monitoring spots of soil-transmitted nematodosis has been decreased year by year,high-endemic areas still exist,and thus the work on enterobiasis control and prevention still needs to be strengthened.

Objective To understand the status of Ascaris eggs pollution in soil at national monitoring spots of soil-transmit-ted nematodiasis,so as to provide the evidence for making countermeasures and evaluating the control effect. Methods Ten households were selected from each of the 22 national monitoring spots annually according to the National Surveillance Program of Soil-Transmitted Nematodiasis(Trial),and the soil samples from vegetable gardens,toilet periphery,courtyards and kitchens were collected and examined by using the modified floatation test with saturated sodium nitrate. Fertilized or unfertilized eggs as well as live or dead fertilized eggs were discriminated and identified. In addition,a SWOT analysis of monitoring of Ascaris eggs pollution in the soil of rural China was carried out. Results A total of 1 090 households were monitored in 22 monitoring spots from 2006 to 2010. The total detection rate of Ascaris eggs in the soil was 30.73%,and the detection rates of fertilized,unfertilized and live fertilized eggs were 13.21%,26.42%and 20.28%,respectively. The total detection rates of Ascaris eggs in the vegetable garden,toilet periphery,courtyard and kitchen were 16.51%,13.49%,14.22% and 10.73% respectively. The SWOT analysis demonstrated that the monitoring work had both advantages and disadvantages,and was faced with opportunities as well as threats. Conclusion The pollution status of Ascaris eggs in the soil is still quite severe at some national monitoring spots,and the counter-measures such as implementing hazard-free treatment of stool,improving water supply and sanitation and reforming environment should be taken to protect people from being infected.

Objective To evaluate the effects of long?term glucocorticoid administration on cisatra?curium?induced neuromuscular blockade in the patients undergoing laparoscopic operation. Methods Six?ty?four patients of both sexes, aged 40-64 yr, with body mass index of 18-22 kg∕m2 , of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ, scheduled for elective laparoscopic operation under general anesthesia, were assigned into 4 groups ( n=16 each) according to whether or not glucocorticoid was used for a long?term period: control ( non?hormone and non?laparoscopic operation ) group ( group C ) , hor?mone + laparoscopic operation group ( group HL ) , non?hormone + laparoscopic operation group ( group NHL) and hormone +non?laparoscopic operation group ( group HNL) . Midazolam 0.03 mg∕kg was injected intravenously, 8% sevoflurane was inhaled by mask, and the concentration of sevoflurane was decreased by 2% every 30 s until the concentration of 4% was reached. After loss of eyelash reflex, remifentanil 2μg∕kg was injected intravenously over 1 min, and 30 s later sevoflurane inhalation was stopped. The patients were tracheally intubated and mechanically ventilated. Anesthesia was maintained with propofol and remifentanil given by target?controlled infusion. Neuromuscular blockade was monitored with accelerograph TOF?watch
SX. At 20 min of pneumoperitoneum in NHL and HL groups or 20 min after intubation in C and HNL groups, cisatracurium 0. 15 mg∕kg was injected intravenously. The onset time, maximal degree of N?M block, clinical duration and recovery index of cisatracurium were recorded. Results Compared with group C, the onset time was significantly prolonged, the maximal degree of N?M block was decreased, the clini?cal duration was shortened, and the recovery index was decreased in HL and HNL groups ( P<0.05) , and the clinical duration was significantly prolonged, the recovery index was increased ( P<0.05) , and no sig?nificant change was found in the onset time in group NHL ( P>0.05) . Compared with group HNL, the clin?ical duration was significantly prolonged, the recovery index was increased (P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the onset time in group HL ( P>0.05) , and the onset time was significantly shortened, the clinical duration was prolonged, and the recovery index was increased in group NHL ( P<0.05) . Com?pared with group NHL, the onset time was significantly prolonged, the maximal degree of N?M block was decreased, the clinical duration was shortened, and the recovery index was decreased in group HL ( P<0.05) . Conclusion Long?term glucocorticoid administration can weaken cisatracurium?induced neuromus?cular blockade in the patients undergoing laparoscopic operation.
