Objective To study the value of high frequency ultrasound in predicting spontaneous closure of patent duct arteriosus (PDA) in premature neonates. Methods One hundred and seventy premature neonates aged less than 37 weeks of gestation were enrolled. They were all admitted in the neonatal intensive care unit of Jinhua People′ s Hospital within 24 hours after birth. Echocardiographic examinations was conducted using GE′s Vivid I Portable color Doppler ultrasonography with routine cardiac probe (frequency 1.7-3.4 MHz) and high-frequency transducer (frequency 7.5 MHz). Up to the 7th day, the echocardiography was carried out every day after birth until the closure of PDA .They were divided to two groups according to whether spontaneous closure of PDA took place with in 7 days after birth (the control group) or not (the PDA group). There were 16 premature neonates in PDA group, including 6 male and 10 female. The mean gestational week at birth was (35.3±1.4) weeks. The mean birth weight was (2 330.9±325.5) g. Thirty-two premature neonates were included incontrol group, including 13 male and 19 female. The mean gestational week at birth was (35.0±1.3) weeks. The mean birth weight was (2 337.5±287.8) g. The clinical characteristics and echocardiographic parameters were compared between the two groups. Results The detection rates of high-frequency ultrasound and routine echocardiography were all 100%. The spontaneous closure rate of PDA in preterm infants at 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours were 18.8%(32/170), 61.2%(104/170), 78.8%(134/170) respectively. Within 7 days after birth, the closure rate was 90.6%(154/170), therefore the incidence of PDA in premature neonates was about 9.4%(16/170) in our study. The display rate of entire duct arteriosus using high frequency ultrasound was signiifcantly higher than that using routine ultrasound [82%(39/48) vs 46%(22/48), P<0.001, 100%(48/48) vs 77.1%(37/48), P<0.01]. The diameters of duct arteriosus in PDA group were signiifcantly larger than that in control group [(2.08±0.4) mm vs (1.09±0.22) mm, P<0.001]. However, the remaining echocardiographic parameters showed no signiifcant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). To predict the spontaneous closure of PDA in preterm neonates within 7 days after birth by high frequency ultrasound, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 87.5%, 90.6% and 66.5% respectively using the cutoff point of 1.55 mm. While the sensitivity, speciifcity and accuracy were 75%, 93.7%, 44.15%by routine echocardiography with the cutoff point of 2.36 mm. Conclusions High-frequency ultrasound can conifrm the diagnosis of PDA in preterm infants and it is better than routine echocardiography in depicting the structure of arterial duct. The larger PDA diameter was suggestive of the lower possibility of spontaneous close.

Objective To analyze the malaria control measures and epidemic trend in Hubei Province from 1974 to 2015, so as to provide the evidence for malaria elimination path analysis. Methods The malaria control data in Hubei Province from 1974 to 2015 were collected and analyzed retrospectively by descriptive epidemiological methods. Results The epidemic pro?cess of malaria in Hubei Province was divided into four stages. From 1974 to 1979,it was high prevalence state of malaria,and the average annual incidence was 174.47/10 000. From 1980 to 1999,the main control strategies were to control the infection source and mosquitoes,and the average annual incidence was 17.30/10 000,significantly downward. From 2000 to 2009, through the surveillance of infection sources and controlling malaria outbreaks and strengthening the floating population manage?ment,the average annual incidence was 0.42/10 000. After 2010,followed by the elimination phase of malaria,the incidence continued to decline. In 2013,there was no local infection for the first time. The difference of average annual incidence among above?mentioned stages was statistically significant(χ2=1 254.36,P<0.05). Conclusions The malaria epidemic process in Hubei Provincial experienced the high epidemic stage,sharply drop stage,low incidence phase and the elimination phase. How?ever,the natural factors affecting malaria still exist. Therefore,strengthening the control of imported malaria and surveillance should be the main task in the process of eliminating malaria in the future.

A rapid LAMP detection method with primers designed on genus-specific region identified in the gyrA gene was established in this assay. All four Campylobacter jejuni from different sources were detected positive and fourteen non Campylobacter bacteria were negative, which shows excellent specificity of the primers. Compared with plate count and PCR method, the LAMP method and the PCR method had equal sensitivity, which were three orders of magnitude higher than plate count. In this assay, we also found out that the treatment of DNase could reduce the dead bacteria DNA effectively. The LAMP detection on chicken indicated relatively good result on detection of Campylobacter jejuni combining with treatment of DNase.
