Objective To explore the potential risk factors of schistosomiasis transmission so as to provide evidence for setting up the surveillance scheme of schistosomiasis prevention and control. Methods The schistosome infection of local inhabitants, mobile population and stock from endemic areas were investigated from 2002 to 2007 by using IHA or ELISA technique. The historical endemic reports of Chongqing City and the schistosomiasis cases, and the plants imported from schistosomiasis endemic areas and Oncomelania snails were investigated. The behavior of local inhabitants was also investigated. Results The investigated people included 5 112 local inhabitants, 1 455 mobile people from schistosomiasis endemic areas and 1 744 residents returned from the endemic areas. The sero-positive rates of them were 0.57%, 1.44% and 0.86%, respectively. Eighteen cases of imported schistosomiasis were found. There were many plants and stock imported from the schistosomiasis endemic areas. No imported snail was found. The farming of local inhabitants depended on the cattle chiefly. The rate of the harmless lavatories was 14.88%. The local residents had the habit of water contact. Conclusion There are potential risk factors for schistosomiasis transmission in the Three Gorges Reservoir areas. The local residents have potential risk behavior of getting infection of Schistosoma japonicum. The surveillance should be emphasized on the mobile population, imported plants and stock from endemic areas.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and outcomes in patients with wake-up stroke.Methods:From January 2019 to December 2019, consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to the Department of Neurology, Huizhou Municipal Central Hospital were enrolled retrospectively. The modified Rankin Scale was used to evaluate the outcome of patients at 90 d after the onset. 0 to 2 was defined as a good outcome, and >2 was defined as a poor outcome. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the factors affecting the poor outcome of patients with wake-up stroke. Results:A total of 356 patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled, including 97 (27.2%) wake-up stroke, and 259 (72.8%) non-wake-up stroke. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at admission and the proportion of patients with atrial fibrillation, moderate to severe stroke and cardiogenic embolism in the wake-up stroke group were significantly higher than those of the non-wake-up stroke group, and the proportion of patients with small artery occlusion was significantly lower than that in the non-wake-up stroke group (all P<0.05). Moreover, the proportion of patients with poor outcome in the wake-up stroke group was significantly higher than that in the non-wake-up stroke group (36.1% vs. 24.7%; χ2=4.546, P=0.033). In the wake-up stroke group, 62 patients (63.9%) had a good outcome, and 35 (36.1%) had a poor outcome. The NIHSS score at admission and the proportion of patients with atrial fibrillation and moderate to severe stroke in the subgroup with poor outcome were significantly higher than those in the subgroup with good outcome, and the proportion of patients receiving intravenous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy was significantly lower than those in the good outcome subgroup (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that moderate to severe stroke (odds ratio [ OR] 6.674, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 2.223-20.034; P=0.001) was independently associated with the poor outcome in patients with wake-up stroke, while intravenous thrombolysis ( OR 0.102, 95% CI 0.017-0.630; P=0.014) and endovascular mechanical thrombectomy ( OR 0.108, 95% CI 0.023-0.506; P=0.005) were independently associated with the good outcome of patients with wake-up stroke. Conclusions:In patients with wake-up stroke, the proportion of cardioembolism is higher, the clinical symptoms are more serious and the incidence of poor outcome is higher. The severity of stroke at admission is associated with poor short-term outcome, and intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular mechanical thrombectomy can improve the outcome in patients with wake-up stroke.

Objective To explore the application of scene type trace method in physiology teach-ing reform. Methods 2009 grade clinical medicine students in Zunyi Medical College were randomly di-vided into two groups:control group (n=111) and experiment group (n=108). Students in control group were taught by traditional teaching method while those in experimented group by scene type trace method. According to the questionnaire survey and the final exam statistical analysis,the effects of teach-ing were evaluated. SPSS 15.0 software was used to do statistical analysis. Qualitative data were analyzed by chi-square test of completely randomized design and two sets of frequency distribution while quantita-tive data by independent samples t test. P<0.05 means that difference is statistically significant. Results There were statistically differences in satisfaction degree of two teaching methods. More students were sat-isfied with scene type trace method than traditional teaching method. Final exam achievement in scene type trace method group(79.90±14.25,90.74%)were higher than that in the traditional teaching method group(72.35±17.09,83.78%). Conclusions Physiology teaching scene type trace method is helpful to improve the students' learning initiative and significantly improve students' learning achieve-ment.

Objective: To study the protective roll of neuregulin-1 (NRG-1) on high glucose caused myocardial cell injury in rat’s embryo H9c2 myocardial cells with its mechanism. Methods: Cultured rat’s embryo H9c2 myocardial cells were divided into 5 groups:①Control group,②High glucose (HG) group, containing glucose 33 mmol/L,③HG+NRG-1 10 nmol/L (N1) group,④HG+NRG-1 50 nmol/L (N2) group and⑤HG+NRG-1 250 nmol/L (N3) group. All cells were treated for 24 hours. Myocardial cell survival rate was measured by CCK-8 method, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and the apoptosis rate were detected by lfow cytometry, enzymes activities of CK, LDH, SOD and MDA content were examined, proteins expressions of NRG-1 receptor as ErbB2 and ErbB4 were assessed by Western blot analysis. NRG-1 treated myocardial cell apoptosis in type II diabetic cardiomyopathy rats was observed by Tunel staining. Results: Compared with HG group, from N1 group to N3 group, myocardial cell survival rates were increased from (63.33±3.56) %to (85.88±4.55) %, ROS levels decrease form (33.75±4.23) % to (15.88±4.55) %, apoptosis rates reduced from (36.44±4.86) % to (14.77±4.21) %, receptor expressions of ErbB2 was elevated from (0.26±0.04) to (0.84±0.03) and ErbB4 was elevated from (0.39±0.03) to (0.72±0.04), allP<0.05; enzymes activities of CK, LDH and MDA content were gradually decreased and SOD activity was gradually increased, allP<0.05. NRG-1 treated myocardial cell apoptosis in type II diabetic cardiomyopathy rats was also obviously reduced. Conclusion: NRG-1 could increase the survival rate and reduce the oxidative stress injury and apoptosis of cultured rat’s embryo H9c2 myocardial cells in HG condition which might be related to NRG-1 binding to ErbB2/ErbB4 molecules in the cells.
