Objective To summarize the achievement and experience in leprosy control in Jiangxi Province and provide scientific basis for formulation of leprosy strategies. Methods Based on the National Leprosy Recording and Reporting System, epidemiological data of leprosy in Jiangxi Province were analyzed using computer. Results Jiangxi Province was a leprosy medium endemic area with a higher distribution of leprosy in the south than the north. The prevalence, incidence and detection rates were highest in the 1959s or 1960s and had decreased annually since then. Average incidence rate for the recent 5 years (0.1604 per 100 000) and prevalence rate (0.049 per 10 000) in 1998 reached the criteria of basic elimination of leprosy at provincial level, however, still 15 counties or cities not reaching the criteria. Conclusion The comprehensive measures including early detection of cases, immediate treatment with multidrug therapy and effective health education are helpful and important for leprosy control.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of triple therapy of aspirin,clopidogrel and urinary kallidi-nogenase in the treatment of recurrent transient ischemic attack. METHODS:180 patients with recurrent transient ischemic attack were randomly divided into control group and observation group. Control group was orally treated with Aspirin enteric-coated tab-lets 100 mg,once a day + Clopidogrel hydrogen sulfate tablets 75 mg,once a day. Based on the treatment of control group,obser-vation group was additionally treated with Urinary kallidinogenase for injection 0.15 PNA unit adding into Sodium chloride injec-tion 100 ml by intravenous injection,once a day. The treatment course for both groups was 2 weeks. The clinic data was observed, including clinical efficacy,and LDL,HDL TC and TG levels before and after treatment,recurrence rate of cerebral ischemia,inci-dence of cerebral infarction and adverse reactions after 6 months of follow-up. RESULTS:The total effective rate in observation group was significantly higher than control group,and the recurrence rate of cerebral ischemia and incidence of cerebral infarction were significantly lower than control group(P<0.05). After treatment,HDL level in 2 groups were significantly higher than be-fore,and observation group was higher than control group;levels of LDL,TC and TG were significantly lower than before,and observation group was lower than control group(P<0.05). There were no severe adverse reactions in groups during treatment. CON-CLUSIONS:Triple therapy of aspirin,clopidogrel and urinary kallidinogenase has significant efficacy in the treatment of transient ischemic attack,with good safety.
