Objective To survey and understand the endemic situation of schistosomiasis among 80 national surveillance sites in China in 2008, so as to provide the evidence for decision-making of schistosomiasis control. Methods According to the National Surveillance Protocol for Schistosomiasis, the data of schistosomiasis in residents, domestic animals and Oncomelania snails and other relevant factors were collected and analyzed in the 80 national surveillance sites. Results Among the 80 national surveillance sites, the average positive rate of residents with sera examination and the average infection rate of the residents were 9.86% and 0.67% , respectively, and the infection rate of domestic animals was 1.62% , all remarkably decreased compared with the rates of 2007, but the proportion of domestic animals stable breeding was only 6.07% . The areas of infected snail habitats and the new snail habitats were 177.70 hm~2 and 7.64 hm~2, respectively. The mean density of living snails and infection rate of snails were 0.32/0.1 m~2 and 0. 15% , respectively. Conclusions The endemic situation of residents, domestic animals and snails decreased in 2008 compared with those in 2007, and domestic animals are still the main infection sources of schistosomiasis, the management of domestic animals need to be further strengthened, meanwhile the surveillance and control of snails should be focused on.

Objective:To study the curative efficacy of transabdominal ultrasound-guided Lauromacrogol combined with radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of fibroid and its effects on the serum estradiol (E2),luteinizing hormone (LH),follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels.Methods:90 patients of fibroid who were treated from June 2014 to June 2015 in our hospital were selected as the research objects.According to random number table,those patients were divided into the observation group (n=45) and the control group (n=45).Both groups were routinely examined before operation,the control group was treated with transabdominal ultrasound radiofrequency ablation,while the observation group was treated with transabdominal ultrasound-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation combined with radiofrequency ablation,Then visual analogue scale (VAS),menstrual volume,uterine fibroid volume,uterine volume,E2,LH,FSH levels,myoma symptoms and quality of life score,curative effect were compared between two groups.Results:After treatment,the total effective rate of observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group [95.55％(43/45)vs75.55％(34/45)] (P＜0.05);the VAS score,menstrual volume were significantly lower than those of the control group[(1.05± 0.23)score vs.(3.62± 0.50)score,(192.35± 22.10)mL 1 vs.(236.54± 24.57)mL](P＜0.05);The myoma volume,uterine volume were significantly lower than those of the control group[(32.13± 13.20)cm3 vs(40.81± 14.11)cm3,(101.93± 9.89)cm3 vs(118.36±11.20)cm3](p＜0.05);the serum E2,LH,FSH levels were significantly lower than those before treatment,but there was no difference between the two groups (P ＞0.05);the fibroid symptoms score was significantly lower than that of the control group [(4.50 ± 1.02)score vs.(10.34± 2.21)score] (P＜0.05),the quality of life score was significantly higher than that of the control group [(95.36± 14.29)score vs.(80.84 ±14.06)score] (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion:Transabdominal ultrasound-guided lauromacrogol combined with radiofrequency ablation could enhance the efficacy of fibroid,which might be related to the decrease of serum levels of E2,LH,and FSH.

Objective To discuss the diagnostic value of Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and Epidermal growth factor (EGF) in uterine myoma.Methods Seventy-three patients with uterine leiomyoma treated by surgery as treatment group,and 65 healthy women were selected as control group.The levels of MMP9 and EGF in both groups were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method.Results The levels of MMP-9and EGF in treatment group were significantly higher than those of control group((1.72±0.36) mg/L vs.(1.28±0.25) mg/L, (342.16± 128.65) ng/L vs.(209.84± 100.34) ng/L;t =8.241,6.678;P ＜0.01).There were no relationships between the levels of MMP-9 and EGF with maximum diameter of uterine myoma (P ＞0.05).Conclusion Serum levels of MMP-9 and EGF have some clinical value in diagnosing uterine leiomyoma.

Background:Chronic constipation is a major cause of impaired quality of life in modern society. Reasonable and effective management of chronic constipation could be achieved based on the principle of evidence-based medicine and the modern concept of constipation,and this is a challenge facing the clinicians. Aims:To investigate the role of barium-based colonic transit detection in diagnosis and treatment of chronic constipation. Methods:Fifty patients with chronic constipation from Apr. 2013 to Oct. 2014 at the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University were recruited and randomly allocated into two groups,control group and individualized treatment group. Patients in individualized treatment group received 20 barium markers orally and abdominal plain radiography was performed 48 and 72 hours later,respectively for calculating the colonic transit index. According to the type of colonic transition and the characteristics of colonic motility estimated by colonic transit index and clinical manifestations,an individualized therapeutic regimen was formulated and the efficacy was evaluated. Patients in control group were treated empirically according to the clinical manifestations. Results:Mosapride and lactulose or polyethylene glycol were administered orally in control group;when abdominal pain or abdominal distension was predominant,pinaverium bromide or trimebutine was used respectively instead of mosapride. Barium-based colonic transit detection revealed that 9 patients in individualized treatment group were slow transit constipation,6 were outlet obstructive constipation and 8 were the mixed type. After 2 weeks of empirical or individualized treatment,the defecation rates of the two groups were 24. 0%(6 / 25)and 52. 2%(12 / 23)within 24 hours and 64. 0%(16 / 25)and 87. 0%(20 / 23)within 48 hours,respectively(P all < 0. 05). Conclusions:Barium-based colonic transit detection is a simple,economical and practical modality for guiding the individualized treatment in patients with chronic constipation.

This report presented the endemic status of schistosomiasis in the People’s Republic of China at a national level in 2015,and analyzed the data collected from the national schistosomiasis prevention and control system and 457 national schis?tosomiasis surveillance sites. Among the 12 provinces(municipality,autonomous region)endemic for schistosomiasis japonica in P. R. China,5 provinces(municipality,autonomous region),i.e.,Shanghai,Zhejiang,Fujian,Guangdong and Guangxi, had achieved transmission interruption,and 7 provinces of Sichuan,Yunnan,Jiangsu,Hubei,Anhui,Jiangxi and Hunan had achieved transmission control by the end of 2015. There were 453 endemic counties(city,district)covering 252 million peo?ple,specifically including 29 980 endemic villages of 68.61 million people at risk of infection. Among the 453 endemic counties (city,district),75.72%(343/453)and 24.28%(110/453)reached the criteria of transmission interruption and transmission control,respectively. By the end of 2015,it was estimated of 77 194 cases of schistosomiasis,which were decreased by 33.23%compared with 115 614 cases in 2014. No acute schistosomiasis cases were reported in 2015. There were 30 843 advanced schis?tosomiasis cases documented in 2015. A total of 8 736 036 individuals received schistosomiasis examinations and 3 606 individu?als were parasitologically diagnosed,which were decreased by 56.40%compared with 8 270 cases in 2014. An Oncomelania hu?pensis snail survey was performed in 19 965 endemic villages and the snails were found in 5 609 villages,accounting for 28.09%of total villages,with 31 newly detected villages with snails. The snail survey covered an area of 593 572.66 hm2 and snails were found in an area of 173 462.50 hm2,including a newly detected area of 666.04 hm2. No infected snails were found in 2015. A to?tal of 879 373 bovines were raised in the schistosomiasis endemic regions. Of them,526 062 bovines received stool examina?tions,resulting in 315 infected bovines. There were 170 438 schistosomiasis cases receiving drug treatment in 2015,with 2 449 696 individuals undergoing expanded chemotherapy. There were 318 bovines with schistosomiasis receiving drug treatment,with 483 213 bovines undergoing expanded chemotherapy. A total of 144 305.52 hm2 area was subject to snail control by using mollus?cicides,with an actual molluscicide?treated area of 69 221.57 hm2,and 4 572.06 hm2 snail habitats were treated by environmen?tal modification. Based on the data from the 457 national schistosomiasis surveillance sites,the mean Schistosoma japonicum in?fection rate was 0.05% and 0.04% in humans and bovines,respectively. No infected snails were found in all the surveillance sites. The results demonstrate a decline in the endemicity of schistosomiasis in P. R. China and the country reached the criteria of transmission control at the national level. However,the endemic situation of schistosomiasis is unstable in some regions with newly?reached transmission control,and further control and effective surveillance should be strengthened to consolidate the achievements and reduce the endemic situation of schistosomiasis in P. R. China.

Objective:To explore the application effect of multidimensional intervention strategies based on sensitive risk indicators in patients with uterine fibroids complicated with climacteric syndrome.Methods:From October 2020 to October 2021, the convenient sampling method was used to select 120 patients with uterine fibroids complicated with climacteric syndrome from Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University as the research subjects. They were divided into the observation group and the control group using the random number table method, with 60 cases in each group. The control group received routine care, while the observation group implemented multidimensional intervention strategies based on sensitive risk indicators. The treatment coping style, psychological resilience, quality of life and sleep quality of the two groups were compared.Results:After intervention, the face dimension score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, and the avoidance and yield dimension scores were lower than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). After intervention, the scores of resilience, strength and optimism of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). After intervention, the scores of interpersonal tension, depression, anxiety and fear of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). After intervention, the total score of sleep quality and scores of all dimensions of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Multidimensional intervention strategies based on sensitive risk indicators can improve the treatment enthusiasm and psychological resilience of patients with uterine fibroids complicated with climacteric syndrome, reduce their negative emotion and improve their sleep quality.

Objective:To explore the application effect of rehabilitation nursing based on gratitude extension-construction theory in postoperative patients with endometrial cancer.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 80 patients with endometrial cancer who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from January 2019 to December 2021 were selected as the research objects. The patients were divided into the observation group (42 cases) and the control group (38 cases) using the random number table method. The control group received routine nursing interventions, while the observation group received rehabilitation nursing interventions based on gratitude extension-construction theory. Psychological distress, gratitude, fear of cancer recurrence, quality of life and pelvic floor function were compared between the two groups before and after intervention.Results:After intervention, the scores of psychological distress, cancer recurrence and Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory score in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the scores of gratitude and quality of life in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Rehabilitation nursing based on gratitude extension-construction theory can increase the gratitude level of patients undergoing endometrial cancer surgery, promote the recovery of pelvic floor function, reduce psychological pain and cancer recurrence concerns and improve their quality of life.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of Tongfu Xiezhuo enema in treating stage 3-4 chronic kidney disease （CKD） and the effect of the therapy on the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio （NLR） as an inflammation marker. MethodSixty patients diagnosed with stage 3-4 CKD who visited the Nephrology Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine from December 2022 to June 2023 were included and randomly assigned into observation and control groups in a ratio of 1∶1. The control group received conventional therapy plus Shenkang suppositories， while the observation group received conventional therapy plus Tongfu Xiezhuo enema. After 8 weeks of treatment， the clinical efficacy was assessed based on the changes in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） symptom scores， renal function indicators， and NLR. Result① Both groups showed decreases in TCM symptom scores after treatment （P<0.01）， and the decreases were more significant in the observation group than in the control group （P<0.05）. The total response rate of TCM symptoms in the observation group was 79.31% （23/29）， which was higher than that （62.96%， 17/27） in the control group （Z=0.604，P<0.05）. ② After treatment， the observation group showed declined serum levels of creatinine （SCr）， blood urea nitrogen （BUN）， and cystatin C （Cys C） and increased glomerular filtration rate （GFR） （P<0.01）， and the control group showed lowered SCr level and increased GFR （P<0.05）. The observation group had lower SCr level and higher GFR than the control group after treatment （P<0.05）. The total response rate of renal function in the observation group was 79.31% （23/29）， which was higher than that （55.56%， 15/27） in the control group （Z=1.127，P<0.01）. ③ The NLR in the observation group decreased after treatment （P<0.05）， and it was lower than that in the control group （P<0.05）. ④ There were no significant differences in safety indicators between the two groups before and after treatment. ConclusionTongfu Xiezhuo enema ameliorated symptoms and improved renal function indicators in the patients with stage 3-4 CKD by reducing the NLR and inhibiting inflammation.

This report presented the endemic status of schistosomiasis and analyzed the data collected from the national schistosomiasis prevention and control system and national schistosomiasis surveillance program in the People’s Republic of China in 2022. Among the 12 provinces (municipality and autonomous region) endemic for schistosomiasis, Shanghai Municipality, Zhejiang Province, Fujian Province, Guangdong Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region continued to maintain the achievements of schistosomiasis elimination, and Sichuan and Jiangsu provinces maintained the criteria of transmission interruption, while Yunnan, Hubei, Anhui, Jiangxi and Hunan provinces maintained the criteria of transmission control by the end of 2022. A total of 452 counties (cites, districts) were found to be endemic for schistosomiasis in China in 2022, with 27 434 endemic villages covering 73 424 400 people at risk of infections. Among the 452 endemic counties (cities, districts), 75.89% (343/452), 23.45% (106/452) and 0.66% (3/452) achieved the criteria of elimination, transmission interruption and transmission control of schistosomiasis, respectively. In 2022, 4 317 356 individuals received serological tests for schistosomiasis, and 62 228 were sero-positive. A total of 208 646 individuals received stool examinations for schistosomiasis, with one positive and another two cases positive for urine microscopy, and these three 3 cases were imported schistosomiasis patients from Africa. There were 28 565 cases with advanced schistosomiasis documented in China by the end of 2022. Oncomelania hupensis snail survey was performed in 18 891 endemic villages in China in 2022 and O. hupensis snails were found in 6 917 villages (36.62% of all surveyed villages), with 8 villages identified with emerging snail habitats. Snail survey was performed at an area of 655 703.01 hm² and 183 888.60 hm² snail habitats were found, including 110.58 hm² emerging snail habitats and 844.35 hm² re-emerging snail habitats. There were 477 200 bovines raised in the schistosomiasis endemic areas of China in 2022, and 113 946 bovines received serological examinations for schistosomiasis, with 204 sero-positives detected. Among the 131 715 bovines received stool examinations, no positives were identified. In 2022, there were 19 726 schistosomiasis patients receiving praziquantel chemotherapy, and expanded chemotherapy was performed in 714 465 person-time for humans and 234 737 herd-time for bovines in China. In 2022, snail control with chemical treatment was performed at an area of 119 134.07 hm², and the actual area of chemical treatment was 65 825.27 hm², while environmental improvements were performed at an area of 1 163.96 hm². Data from the national schistosomiasis surveillance program of China showed that the mean prevalence of Schistosoma japonicum infections was both zero in humans and bovines in 2022, and no S. japonicum infection was detected in O. hupensis snails. These data demonstrated that the endemic status of schistosomiasis continued to decline in China in 2022, with 3 confirmed schistosomiasis patients that had a foreign nationality and all imported from Africa, and the areas of snail habitats remained high. Further improvements in the construction of the schistosomaisis surveillance and forecast system, and reinforcement of O. hupensis survey and control are required to prevent the re-emerging schistosomiasis.
