Objective To explore the pertinent communication strategy of health education for parasitic diseases.Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out.Before the health education intervention,the knowledge,attitude and practice(KAP)for parasitic diseases of 199 and 250 farmers in two provinces of Sichuan and Yunnan in southwest China were investigated with questionnaire by using the method of PPS.Results Most of the farmers used the simple and crude toilets and their health status were poor,and there were only 7.57% of people having the bio-gas facilities.The awareness rate of the knowledge on malnutrition caused by parasitic diseases was 34.30% and the awareness rate of knowledge about anemia caused by parasitic diseases was 29.62%.There were 81.74% of farmers who believed helminthic drug and 74.61% of people who tended to buy drug by themselves.The health knowledge of the residents mainly came from the interpersonal communication and TV,and the farmers preferred TV,poster and brochure to get the health knowledge.Conclusion The health education with posters,TV and intervention communication is one of the important measures to control parasitic diseases.

Objective To observe the effect of artificially construction of the life cycle of Angiostrongylus cantonensis in the laboratory condition so as to provide the basis for the research of angiostrongyliasis. Methods SD rats were infected orally with the third?stage larvae of A. cantonensis collected from infected Pomacea canaliculata. Six weeks after the infection the first?stage larvae were isolated and counted from fresh feces of the rats and then were used to infect P. canaliculata. Three weeks lat?er the snails were dissected for counting the third?staged larvae of A. cantonensis. Results The first?stage larvae were detect?ed in the feces of the rats 6 weeks after the infection and the third?staged larvae were successfully isolated after the infection of P. canaliculata. Conclusion The animal model of the entire life cycle of A. cantonensis is successfully established in the labo?ratory with the infection of 50 larvae per rat.

To investigate the correlation between p16 gene mutation and laryngeal cancer biological behavior as well as its prognosis in laryngeal cancer.Method:24 speciments of primary laryngeal cancer and 10 speciments with benign lesion in larynx were examined for mutations in exon2 of p16 by using PCR-SSCP silver stainning technique.Result:Mutations frequency of laryngeal cancer was62.5% (15/24).Nothing was found in 10 cases with laryngeal benign lesion.Conclusion:There is a strong correlation between p16 gene mutation and the biological behavior of chinese laryngeal cancer, such as histologic differentiation, invasion stage, and regional lymph nodes metastasis(P≤0.05).PCR-SSCP silver tainning technique is one of the most sensitive and simplest measure for detecting genetic mutation.It is worth using in clinical laboratory because of its readiness, repetition and lower cost.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Astragalus membranaous on angiotensinⅡ (AngⅡ)-induced transform-ing growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) production of cardiac ifbroblasts.Methods Cardiac ifbroblasts were culturedin vitro. Cells were allocated into 3 groups: control group, Astragalus membranaous groups (50, 100, 200 mg/ml), Ang II group (10-7 mol/L) and AngⅡ/Astragalus membranaous groups (50, 100, 200 mg/ml). The proliferation of each group was tested by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium method. TGF-β1 was measured by ELISA.Results The proliferation of cardiac ifbroblasts had signiifcant difference between each groups (F=71.84,P=0.000). The proliferation of cardiac ifbroblasts with Ang II stimulation was higher than that of cells without Ang II stimulation (P<0.05). Astragalus membranaous inhibited Ang II-induced cardiac ifbroblasts proliferation dose dependently (P<0.05). The TGF-β1 production had signiifcant difference between each groups (F=786.81,P=0.000). The TGF-β1 production in AngII/astragalus membranaous groups was lower than that in Ang II group (P<0.05). The TGF-β1 production in Ang II group was the highest, and had signiifcant difference as compared to other groups (P<0.05). Astragalus membranaous inhibited Ang II-induced TGF-β1 production dose dependently (P<0.05).Conclusions Ang II can stimulate the proliferation of cardiac ifbroblasts, and promote the TGF-β1 production. Astragalus membranaous can inhibit the proliferation of Ang II-induced cardiac ifbroblasts, and reduce the TGF-β1 production of cardiac ifbroblasts.

Objective To investigate the expressions of Wnt2 and β-catenin in Doxorubicin (DOX)-induced myocardial injury and to explore their roles in myocardial cell apoptosis.Methods Cardiomyoblast cells were damaged by different concentrations of DOX(1 mg/L,2 mg/L,3 mg/L,4 mg/L) for 72 h.The effect of different concentrations of DOX on cardiomyocyte growth curve was detected according to the 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-h-tetrazolium bromide(MTT) assay.DOX(1 mg/L) was used to induce the model of cardiomyoblast cell injury.Cardiomyocytes were divided into 4 groups:group A:DOX-injured cardiomyocytes for 12 h ;group B:DOX-injured cardiomyocytes for 24 h ; group C:DOX-injured cardiomyocytes for 48 h; group D:normal cardiomyocytes.The expressions of Wnt2,β-catenin and p53 were observed by Western blot and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) at the time point of 12 h,24 h and 48 h.Results DOX significantly inhibited cardiomyocyte proliferation in a dose dependent fashion.The protein and mRNA expressions of Wnt2 increased in the DOX-induced myocardial injury group compared with the group D,with statistical significance (F =224.115,P < 0.05) ;The expressions of β-catenin,p53 were significantly increased compared with the group D,and the higher expression appeared with the time extending(F =188.145,231.927,all P < 0.05).Significantly positive correlation between Wnt2 and β-catenin expression was observed(r =0.940,P < 0.05).Conclusions These findings suggest that Wnt2/β-catenin signaling pathway may play important roles in the cardiovascular disease and be useful for exploring the molecular mechanism of myocardial injury..

This study was aimed to optimize the belt drying process conditions ofChuan-XiongConcrete. On the basis of the single factor experiment with drying temperature, feeding speed, drying time as three main variables and the transfer rate of ferulic acid as variable, the optimization of the belt drying process conditions ofChuan-XiongConcrete was identified using Box-Behnken Design. The results showed that the optimal drying parameters were as follows. The feeding speed was 1 kg·h-1. The drying temperature was 95℃. The drying time was 90 min. The transfer rate of ferulic acid was 95.48%. Three verification experiments were taken under these technological parameters. And the average transfer rate of ferulic acid was 95.71%, which was close to the predicted value of the model. It was concluded that the belt drying process of Chuan-Xiong Concrete was steady and feasible, which can be used in the drying process ofChuan-XiongConcrete.

objective To assess the DNA damage of radiation workers in different grade hospitals,and to explore the correlation between the types of work or work time and the levels of DNA damage.Methods DNA single strand break were detected by using alkaline single cell gel electrophoresis(SCGE),and the comet was analyzed with CASP(Comet Assay Software Project).TDNA,TL,TM and OTM were calculated.Results The parameters of SCGE in the radiation greup were higher than those of control group(F=3.93,P<0.01).The significant difference was found not only among the different types of work or difierent work time,but also among the different grade hospitals(F=1.83,1.9 1,P<0.05).Conclusions Various levels of DNA damage could be detected in the radiation workers of the two hospitals.DNA damage of radiation workers is less serious in the higher-grade hospital than the lower grade one.Different types of work or work time might affect the DNA damage level.
