Objective To analyze the epidemiologic feature of overseas imported malaria in order to provide the evidence for improving the surveillance and control of malaria in Wuhan City. Methods The epidemiological investigation data of overseas imported malaria cases were collected and analyzed with an epidemiological method including plasmodium species epidemic fo?cus distribution domestic distribution population characteristics attack?diagnosis interval clinical grading etc. in Wuhan City from 2008 to 2013. Results A total of 240 overseas imported malaria cases were reported including 180 cases from Afri?can countries and the proportion of Plasmodium falciparum infections was 82.22% and 60 cases from Southeast Asian coun?tries and the proportion of Plasmodium vivax infections was 76.67% and the proportions of the parasite species were significant?ly different between the two regions χ2=105.53 P 0.001 . The male and young adults were dominant. there were no statisti?cal significance between clinical grading and attack?diagnosis interval Z=-0.99 P = 0.32 vocational background χ2=10.61 P=0.10 then clinical symptoms aggravated the situation was occurred more easily among the first attack cases χ2=7.66 P 0.05 and the falciparum malaria cases χ2=24.27 P 0.001 . Conclusions The overseas imported malaria cases are increasing rapidly with years and the malignant malaria cases were more than other malaria cases in Wuhan City. Therefore the surveillance and management of the returnees from malaria endemic areas should be strengthened continually.

Objective To investigate the survival benefit of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinomas who recieved postoperative chemotherapy of tegafur combined with FT-207 radiotherapy.Methods Data from 126 patients with esophageal squamous were analyzed who undergone radical resection from January 2008 to December 2010,consisting of 92 patients underwent surgery alone and 34 patients took oxaliplatin combined with tegafur postoperatively (oxaliplatin 130 g/m2,d1,tegafur 500 mg/m2,d1-5,21 d for a cycle,every patient received at least two cycles).Results The 1-year survival rate and 3-year survival rate was 93.5 ％ and 75.0 ％ in the surgery alone group,was 97.1％ and 76.2 ％ in the surgery plus postoperative chemotherapy (P =0.590).There was no significant differences in survival in the two groups,even with Coxregression multivariate analysis and with stratifications of gender,age,tumor location,degree of cell differentiation,invasion depth,lymphatic metastasis and TNM stage.Conclusion Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy with oxaliplatin combined with tegafur has not significantly improve the survival rate of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinomas undergoing radical resection.It is still lack of an effective project for postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for esophageal cancer,and it is necessary for further study.

Objective: To explore the effects of various concentrations IFN-? on human oral epidermic cancer cell line KB and its multidrug resistant counterpart KBv200.Methods: The toxicity of IFN-? and/or VCR was assayed by MTT method; intracellular rhodamin123 concentration and p-glycoprotein expression were measured by flow cytometry; mdr-1 mRNA was assayed by RT-PCR. Results: High-dose IFN-?(10 000 IU/ml) had significant antiproliferative effects on KB/KBv200 cell lines. Low-dose IFN-? did not have any significant effect on growth of KB/KBv200 cells, but did increase the cytotoxic effect of VCR and the accumulation of Rhodamine123 in KBv200 cell line and had no effect on parent VCR-sensitive KB cell line. IFN-? down-regulated expression of P-gp and mdr-1mRNA . Conclusions: IFN-? has significant effect on the reversal of multidrug resistance of KBv200 cell line via a mechanism of P-gp and mdr1 mRNA down-regulation.

Objective To evaluate the efficiency and safety of hair removal in different areas with Lightsheer Duet diode laser and to compare clinical effect and safety in axillae hair removal between the two models,high-speed and standard model.Methods Lightsheer Duet diode laser was used to remove hairs from different areas in 200 cases,for 4-8 weeks treatment 1 time,4 times for 1course.The curative effect and adverse reaction were observed after the treatment.Thirty axillae hair removal subjects were chosen randamly and received treatments using the different models,high-speed hand piece on one side and the standard hand piece on the other side.Hair removal efficiency and the immediate pain were compared and evulated on each subject.Results The hair was significantly reduced after 4 times treatments in 200 cases.The total effective rate was 95.54 ％ and positively related with the treatment times.Pigmentation was found in 3 cases,but it disappeared after 1-3 months.The total effective rate was 100 ％ after the 3 times treatments in axillae hair removal subjects both using the high-speed model or the standard model in 30 cases.There was no statistical difference between the two models except less pain in the high-speed model.Conclusions Lightsheer Duet diode laser is a safe and efficient method in hair removal.The high-speed model has more advantage on speed and causing pain.

Objective:To discuss the reconstuctive strategy of the defect of anterior rectus fascia and rectus abdominus muscle in the clinical practice.Methods:Between November 2009 and Janurary 2020, clinical data of 24 female patients that underwent 29 anterior rectus fascia and rectus abdominus muscle reconstructions of defect were reviewed retrospectively. The median age was 42.5 years (range, 35-60 years), including 20 breast reconstructions, 2 pelvic reconstructions, 1 thoracic defect after tumor resection and 1 abdominal defect after tumor resection. According to the location and size of the anterior rectus fascia and rectus abdominus muscle defect, three reconstructive methods were applied: 6 direct clousres were applied if the width of defect was less than half of the anterior rectus fascia, 21 polypropylene mesh onlay reconstructions were applied for which the width of defect was or more than half of the anterior rectus fascia, and 2 direct suture closure were applied for the simple rectus abdominus muscle defect.Results:All the patients healed eventfully without abdominal wound complications, such as infection, hematoma, dehiscence. The patients were followed up for a median period of 30 months (range, 5-126 months). 1 patient died of breast cancer recurrence and matastasis at 36 months postoperatively. No patient developed a mesh infection or required mesh removal secondary to infection or foreign body reaction. There was no abdominal wall hernia, 1 patient developed abdominal bulge without further treatment because of no abdominal wall discomfort.Conclusions:The key of successful operation is different reconstructive methods applied to reconstruct the integrity and stability of abdominal wall, based on the location and size of the anterior rectus fascia and rectus abdominus muscle defect.

Objective:To understand the applicability of different thyroid volume correction methods for school-age children in Wuhan, and to explore the appropriate thyroid volume correction methods for school-age children in Wuhan.Methods:From May to August 2019, Hongshan, Hanyang, Hannan, Jiangxia and Dongxihu districts of Wuhan were divided into five sampling areas according to five directions: east, west, south, north and middle. One primary school was selected from each area, and 40 non-boarding students aged 8 - 10 years old (gender balanced) were selected from each primary school as survey subjects. Random urine sample and household edible salt sample were collected to detect urinary iodine and salt iodine contents, and the height, weight and thyroid volume of the children were measured. At the same time, the thyroid volume was corrected by height corrected volume index 1 (HVI1), weight and height corrected volume index (WHVI), body mass index corrected volume (BMIV), body surface area corrected volume (BSAV) and height corrected volume index 2 (HVI2).Results:A total of 1 000 children aged 8- 10 years old were investigated, including 499 boys and 501 girls; among them, there were 269, 321 and 410 children aged 8, 9 and 10 years old, respectively. The median urinary iodine was 247.50 μg/L; the median salt iodine was 23.20 mg/kg; the height, weight and thyroid volume were 140.00 (133.00, 146.00) cm, 31.00 (27.00, 37.00) kg and 2.56 (2.13, 3.21) ml, respectively. A total of 30 children with goiter were detected, and the goiter rate was 3% (30/1 000). The thyroid volumes of boys and girls were 2.57 (2.16, 3.28) and 2.56 (2.10, 3.16) ml, respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( U = - 0.981, P > 0.05). The thyroid volumes of children aged 8, 9 and 10 years old were 2.31 (1.98, 2.81), 2.68 (2.13, 3.30) and 2.74 (2.28, 3.35) ml, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( H = 47.585, P < 0.01). Spearman correlation analysis showed that the original thyroid volume was positively correlated with height and weight in children aged 8, 9 and 10 years old ( P < 0.01). After HVI1 correction, no correlation was found between thyroid volume and height in children aged 8 years old ( P > 0.05), but thyroid volume was positively correlated with weight ( P < 0.01); thyroid volume was positively correlated with height and weight in children aged 9 and 10 years old ( P < 0.01). After WHVI correction, the thyroid volumes of children aged 8, 9, and 10 years old were negatively correlated with height and weight ( P < 0.01). After BMIV correction, the thyroid volume was positively correlated with height in children aged 8, 9, and 10 years old ( P < 0.01); thyroid volume was negatively correlated with weight in children aged 10 years old ( P < 0.05). After BSAV correction, thyroid volume was positively correlated with weight in children aged 9 years old ( P < 0.05). After HVI2 correction, thyroid volume was positively correlated with weight in children aged 9 years old ( P < 0.01). The thyroid volume obtained by the 5 correction methods were all smaller than the original thyroid volume, and the thyroid volume after BSAV correction was the closest to the original thyroid volume, with a difference of 0.87% - 13.87%. Conclusions:The thyroid volume of school-age children in Wuhan is affected by age, height, and weight, judgment of goiter should be corrected for these factors. BSAV is relatively independent and stable, it can eliminate the effect of height and weight on thyroid volume. It is initially considered that BSAV is suitable for the correction of thyroid volume in school-age children in Wuhan.
