Objective To describe the academic impact of publications from National Institute of Parasitic Diseases （NIPD），Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention，so as to give the quantity evidence for scientific research decision making. Methods The SCIE papers of NIPD published from 2011-2015 were searched and statistically analyzed. The number of published papers，citation frequencies，h⁃index，and funding resources were analyzed. The academic impact of the institute was assessed according to these data. Result A total of 361 papers were published by NIPD，and the quantity increased year by year. The majority type is original articles. The total citations were 1 641 times，the average citation per paper was 5.19 and h⁃index was 17. The majority of these papers were published in foreign professional periodicals，whose impact factors were between 1.194 and 6.751. The major resources of NIPD were from China，and NIPD also had good collaborations with institutions in US and Switzerland. In China and Asia，NIPD led the research in the field of parasitology and tropical medicine. Conclusion The quantity and quality of annual published papers of NIPD are on the rise. However，NIPD lagged behind the leading institutions in the world.

Objective To compare the sensitivity and specificity between indirect enzyme -linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)and double -antibody sandwich ELISA kits produced in China and to select the best ELISA kit.Methods Samples for evaluation included 60 serum plates and 40 serum samples positive or weakly positive for antibody to hepatitis C virus (anti -HCV)which were confirmed by re-combinant immunoblot assay.These samples were tested with a sandwich ELISA kit and three indirect ELISA kits,all of which were pro-duced in China.Comparison between ELISA kits was made by paired chi -square test;comparison of false negative rate was made by R × C contingency table test.Results The sensitivities of three indirect ELISA kits and a sandwich ELISA kit were 90.2%,78.0%,95.1%, and 97.6%,respectively,and the specificities were 78.1%,72.6%,94.1%,and 100%,respectively.The sandwich ELISA kit had a 4-8 times higher sensitivity than indirect ELISA kits.The R ×C contingency table test revealed significant differences in false negative rate between ELISA kits and combinations of ELISA kits (χ2 =29.898,P <0.05).Conclusion Sandwich ELISA kit has higher sensitivity and specificity than indirect ELISA kits.Combined use of sandwich ELISA and indirect ELISA kits can significantly reduce the false negative rate and effectively prevent missed anti -HCV detection.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium. Methods 56 cases who used cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium for anti -infection were selected as the observation group,and 56 hospitalized patients who used cephalosporin ceftazidime were selected as the control group. The observation group was intravenously injectioned cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium,the control group received intravenous ceftazidime.The clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of the two groups were compared.Results After treatment,the cure rate and total effective rate of the observation group were 55.36%,98.21%,which of the control group were 35.71%,91.07%.The cure rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (χ2 =4.356,P <0.05),and the total effective rate between the two groups had no statistically signifi-cant difference (χ2 =2.817,P >0.05).The incidence rate of adverse reactions of the two groups had no significant difference.Conclusion Cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium therapy has good clinical efficacy in the treat-ment of infectious diseases,and has low incidence of adverse reactions,good safety,which can be popularized and applied in clinic.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To investigate the effects of long-term aerobic exercise on the heart and sympathetic neural remodeling ( structure and function remodeling) in heart failure rats induced by myocardial infarction.METHODS:Heart failure model after myocardial infarction was performed by ligating anterior descending coronary artery in the Wistar rats. Four weeks after operation, the rats were randomly divided into sham operation sedentary ( S) group, heart failure sedenta-ry ( H) group and heart failure exercise ( HE) group.The animals in HE group underwent 10-week treadmill running, while those in S group and H group were sustained in a resting state.The cardiac structure and function including left ven-tricular internal diameter at diastole ( LVIDd) , left ventricular internal diameter at systole ( LVIDs) , left ventricular anteri-
or wall diameter at diastole (LVAWDd), left ventricular anterior wall diameter at systole (LVAWDs), left ventricular pos-terior wall diameter at diastole ( LVPWDd) and left ventricular posterior wall diameter at systole ( LVPWDs) , and cardiac function parameters including fractional shortening (FS) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were measured by echocardiography.The myocardium was collected for histopathological observation with Masson staining, and the collagen volume fraction ( CVF) was determined.The concentrations of norepinephrine ( NE) in the myocardium and plasma were measured by high-pressure liquid chromatography.The frequency domain analysis was applied for determining the heart rate variability (HRV) via subcutaneous recording electrode involving total power (TP), normalized low power (LFn), nor-malized high power ( HFn) and LF/HF ratio.The mRNA expression of collagen type I ( Col-I) , collagen type III ( Col-III) , atrial natriuretic factor ( ANF) ,α-myosin heavy chain (α-MHC) ,β-myosin heavy chain (β-MHC) , sarcoplasmic endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA2a) was detected by real-time PCR.The protein levels of nerve growth factor (NGF) and its receptor (TrkA), and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) were measured by Western blotting.RESULTS:(1) Compared with S group, body weight ( BW) , LVIDd, FS, LVEF, TP, HFn, the mRNA expression ofα-MHC and SER-CA2a, and the protein levels of NGF, TrkA and TH decreased (P<0.05).Left ventricular weight (LVW), left ventricu-lar mass index (LVMI), LVAWDd, LVAWDs, LVPWDd, LVPWDs, CVF, plasma and myocardial NE content, LFn, LF/HF, and the mRNA expression of ANF,β-MHC, Col-I and Col-III increased ( P<0.05) in H group.(2) Compared with H group, LVW, LVMI, LVIDd, FS, LVEF, TP, HFn, the mRNA expression ofα-MHC and SERCA2a, and the pro-tein levels of NGF, TrkA and TH were raised (P<0.05), while CVF, plasma and myocardial NE content, LFn, LF/HF, and the mRNA expression of ANF, β-MHC, Col-I and Col-III decreased ( P<0.05 ) in HE group.CONCLUSION:Long-term aerobic exercise training leads to inhibition of heart and sympathetic neural remodeling and improvement of cardi-ac function and autonomic modulation in the rats after myocardial infarction.
