Objective To evaluate the intervention effect of Yi?Han bilingual health education of schistosomiasis control. Methods Baimiao Village in Daqing Town,Xichang City,where Yi Nationality inhabited,was chosen as a pilot to carry out Yi?Han bilingual health education of schistosomiasis control from 2012 to 2015. The villagers and students in the pilot area were in?vestigated by questionnaires before and after the intervention to understand their awareness and correct behavior status on schis?tosomiasis control. Results After the intervention of Yi?Han bilingual health education of schistosomiasis control for 3 years, the awareness rate and the correct rate of behavior on schistosomiasis control of the villagers in the pilot area improved from 45.79%and 51.12%in 2012 to 97.80%and 98.78%in 2015. As for the students,the two rates mentioned above improved from 64.16%and 60.83%in 2012 to 100%and 98.89%in 2015 respectively,and all the differences between the rates before and af?ter the intervention were statistically significant( all P<0.01). Conclusion The intervention of Yi?Han bilingual health educa?tion of schistosomiasis control can obviously improve the knowledge awareness rates and the correct rates of behavior of the resi?dents and students in the gathering area of Yi Nationality.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate chemotherapeutic efficacy and safety of Paclitaxel combined with lobaplatin by inter-ventional embolization for cervical cancer. METHODS:Totally 68 cases of cervical cancer patients selected from our hospital dur-ing May 2010-Mar. 2014 were divided into control group and observation group according to therapy plan,with 34 cases in each group. Control group was given Paclitaxel liposome for injection 175 mg/m2 added into 5% Glucose injection 250 mL,ivgtt+Loba-platin for injection 80 mg/m2 added into 5% Glucose injection 250 mL,ivgtt. Observation group was given Paclitaxel liposome for injection 175 mg/m2+Lobaplatin for injection 80 mg/m2+5% Glucose injection 10 mL via percutaneous catheter after selecting uter-ine artery and tumor vessel by arterial catheterization arteriography,gelfoam embolization. Both groups were treated in the first day of every treatment course,21 d as a treatment course,for 3 courses. Clinical efficacies were observed in 2 groups as well as the levels of T lymphocyte subsets(CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+)before and after treatment. The occurrence of ADR during treatment,lo-cal recurrence and metastasis after 2 years,and survival situation were recorded. RESULTS:The total response rate of observatio group(85.29%)was significantly higher than that of control group(61.76%),with statistical significance(P<0.05). Before treat-ment,there was no statistical significance in the levels of CD4+,CD8+ or CD4+/CD8+ between 2 groups (P>0.05). After treat-ment,CD4+and CD4+/CD8+of 2 groups were increased significantly,while CD8+was decreased significantly;above indexes of ob-servation group were improved significantly compared to control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). The survival time of observation group [(22.58±0.61)months] was significantly longer than that of control group [(17.61±1.32)months],and 2-year survival rate(70.59%)was significantly higher than control group(47.06%),with statistical significance(P<0.05). There were no statistical significance in incidence of disease control,incidence of total ADR and incidence of local recurrence and metastasis between 2 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Paclitaxel combined with lobaplatin by interventional embolization show definite chemotherapeutic efficacy for cervical cancer,and can improve the levels of T lymphocyte subset with good safety.

Objective:To study the effects of deoxyadenosine(dAdo) on methotrexate (MTX) induced suppression of inflammatory bone destruction.Methods:The culture system of whole bone marrow cells (WBMCs) was utilized to evaluate osteoclastogenesis.TRAP staining and μCT analysis were utilized to evaluate osteoclastogenesis and bone destruction in adjuvant arthritis rats.Results:In the bone marrow culture system,MTX-induced suppression of osteoclastogenesis was abrogated by the addition of dAdo.dAdo canceled MTX-induced suppression of osteoclastogenesis in the rats with arthritis,and significantly abolished the therapeutic effects of MTX on inflammatory bone destruction in the rats.Conclusion:The accumulation of dAdo may be one cause of the losing effectiveness of MTX in bone destruction.

Objective:To explore the effect of Rho kinase inhibitor on intestinal injury in septic rats and its possible mechanism.Methods:Thirty-two male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (Sham group), Rho kinase inhibitor Y-27632 control group (Y+Sham group), sepsis model group [cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) group] and Y-27632 pretreatment group (Y+CLP group), with 8 rats in each group. Rat sepsis model was reproduced by CLP. The rats in the Sham group and Y+Sham group were only separated and moved the cecum without ligation and perforation. The rats in the Y+Sham group and Y+CLP group were pretreated with intraperitoneal injection of Y-27632 solution 5 mg/kg 15 minutes before operation; the rats in the Sham group and CLP group were intraperitoneally injected with the same amount of phosphate buffered saline (PBS). Twenty-four hours after operation, the heart blood was collected and the serum diamine oxidase (DAO) content was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Then the small intestine tissue was collected, the pathological changes of the intestinal tissue were observed under the light microscope after hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, and Chiu's score was performed. The positive expressions of Rho-related coiled-coil kinase 1 (ROCK1) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in intestinal tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry. ELISA was used to detect the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in intestinal tissue homogenate.Results:The intestinal tissue structure of the Sham group and Y+Sham group was intact and the mucosa was arranged neatly. Compared with the Sham group, the intestinal mucosa of the CLP group was arranged disorderly, with a large number of inflammatory cells infiltration, and the Chiu's score was significantly increased (3.83±0.27 vs. 0.12±0.11, P < 0.05), indicating that those rats suffered from septic intestinal injury. Compared with the CLP group, the degree of necrosis of intestinal epithelial cells in the Y+CLP group was reduced, a small amount of inflammatory cells infiltration was seen, and the Chiu's score was significantly decreased (2.85±0.21 vs. 3.83±0.27, P < 0.05), indicating that Y-27632 pretreatment could alleviate intestinal injury in septic rats. Compared with the Sham group, the positive expressions of intestinal tissue ROCK1 and NF-κB, the contents of serum DAO and intestinal homogenate TNF-α in the CLP group were significantly increased [ROCK1 expression ( A value): 0.19 (0.18, 0.22) vs. 0.10 (0.09, 0.11), NF-κB expression ( A value): 0.40±0.02 vs. 0.15±0.01, DAO (ng/L): 287.81±23.31 vs. 144.92±17.72, TNF-α (ng/L): 101.08±5.62 vs. 74.81±5.56, all P < 0.05], the level of intestinal homogenate IL-10 was significantly decreased (μg/L: 55.16±5.20 vs. 95.95±7.53, P < 0.05). Compared with the CLP group, the positive expressions of intestinal tissue ROCK1, NF-κB, the contents of serum DAO and intestinal homogenate TNF-α in the Y+CLP group were significantly decreased [ROCK1 expression ( A value): 0.15 (0.13, 0.18) vs. 0.19 (0.18, 0.22), NF-κB expression ( A value): 0.28±0.01 vs. 0.40±0.02, DAO (ng/L): 243.34±19.76 vs. 287.81±23.31, TNF-α (ng/L): 90.41±8.79 vs. 101.08±5.62, all P < 0.05], while the level of intestinal homogenate IL-10 was significantly increased (μg/L: 66.15±5.74 vs. 55.16±5.20, P < 0.05), indicating that the protective effect of Y-27632 pretreatment on sepsis intestinal injury rats might be related to the regulation of RhoA/ROCK1/NF-κB signaling pathway. Conclusion:Rho kinase inhibitors can reduce intestinal injury in septic rats, and the mechanism may be related to inhibiting RhoA/ROCK1/NF-κB signaling pathway and reducing intestinal inflammation in septic rats.
