Objective To evaluate the control effect of comprehensive measures of schistosomiasis after its transmission in?terruption in Kaihua County,Zhejiang Province,so as to provide the references for further consolidation of schistosomiasis con?trol. Methods The data of Oncomelania hupensis snail survey and control,as well as environmental reform in Kaihua County were collected and analyzed from 1996 to 2015. Results From 1996 to 2015,totally 2 635 snail habitats and 102.75 hm2 area with snails were found,and 125.4 thousand snails were dissected and no one was schistosome infected. The accumulated snail control area was 4 932.98 hm2,and the area with snails was effectively reduced by the comprehensive control measures. Conclu?sion The schistosomiasis control effect could be consolidated by the comprehensive control measures emphasizing environmen?tal reconstruction,and the snail surveillance work still should be strengthened.

The present paper intends to discuss the antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibition effect of solanesol from three aspects of ultraviolet radiation and free radical scavenging. The paper makes a survey on diurnal variation rule of the minimum ultraviolet transmittance and ultraviolet transmittance of solanesol, hydroxyl (OH) free radical scavenging method of Smirnoff reaction system model, superoxide anion O2- free radical scavenging method of pyrogallol autoxidation, and the inhibitory effect of solanesol on tyrosinase activity by enzyme kinetic method. The experiment results showed that solanesol could effectively scavenge lipid radicals to block lipid peroxidation, and inhibit effects on tyrosinase. Solanesol is a natural extract which could be used to prevent senile atrophy of human skin and senile plaque.

OBJECTIVETo explore the memory quotient and hormone level in women with perimenopausal syndrome and healthy women in perimenopausal period, and the effect of estrogen and Chinese nourishing Kidney herbs (CNKH) on memory.

METHODSFifty-six women of perimenopausal syndrome were treated with estrogen (n = 24) and CNKH (n = 32) respectively. The changes of memory and estrogen level before and after treatment were determined and compared with those in healthy women.

RESULTSThe memory quotient (MQ) and estrogen level increased and follicule-stimulating hormone (FSH) level decreased significantly after treatment in both groups (P < 0.01), these parameters approached to those in healthy women. The difference of therapeutic effect between the two treated group was insignificant (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe decrease of memory is related to the lowering of estrogen level, CNKH could improve the brain function and enhance memory.

AIM: To study the chemical components from the bioactive extract of Chuanminshen violaceum Sheh et Shan in Sichuan province. METHODS: The isolation and purification of this extract were conducted by means of silica gels column chromatography.The structures of the compounds were elucidated based on their physical,chemical features and spectrum data. RESULTS: 8 compounds were isolated from the extract.They were elucidated as hexadecanoic Acid(A),2,6-dimethoxybenzoic acid(B),succinic acid (C),combination of sigmasterol and sitosterol(1(∶)1)(D),chrysophanol(E),8-hydroxy-5-methoxypsoralen(F),4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid(G) and stigmasteryl 3-O-?-D-glucopyranoside(H). CONCLUSION: Compounds B,C,E,G were isolated from Chuanminshen violaceum for the first time.

Objective To analyse incidence of the severe complications of hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy and the influence on the outcome of pregnancy.Methods A retrospective study of 4107 cases among 71 020 cases who delivered in hospitals from 1995 to 2004 in Guangzhou was conducted. Results The morbidity of hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy was 5.78%,in which the morbidity of severe pre-eclampsia was 27.78% (1141/4107),of mitis pre-eclampsia was 72.22% (2966/4107). Maternal mortality rate was 0.19% (8/4107),and the specific mortality rate was 11.26/100 000.The proportion of severe complications of hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy from high to low was as follows:placental abruption 1.68% (69/4107),DIC 1.36% (56/4107),hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy induced cardiopathy(induced cardiopathy) 1.05% (43/4107),renal failure 0.97% (40/4107),cerebrovascular accident 0.58% (24/4107),and hemolysis,elevated liver enzymes and low platelet (HELLP) syndrome 0.51% (21/4107).Mortality caused by severe complications of hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy were as follows:cerebrovascular accident 17% (4/24),HELLP syndrome 10% (2/21),DIC 5% (3/56) and induced cardiopathy 2% (1/43).The proportion of perinatal mortality from severe complications were as follows:placental abruption 43% (33/77),HELLP syndrome 42% (10/ 24),DIC 34% (22/64),renal failure 25% (11/44),cerebro vascular accident 24% (6/25)and induced cardiopathy 16% (8/49).Conclusions (1) The morbidity of severe complications from high to low are: placental abruption,DIC,induced eardiopathy,renal failure,eerebro vascular accident and HELLP syndrome.(2) The main causes of mortality for gravida and puerperant are:cerebro vascular accident, HELLP syndrome,DIC and induced cardiopathy.(3) The major complications harmful to perinatal newborns are in the order of:placental abruption,HELLP syndrome,DIC,renal failure,eerebro vascular accident and induced cardiopathy.

Objective To apply color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) and transcranial Doppler (TCD) to the follow-up observation of the changes of cervical vessel,intracranial hemodynamics and cerebrovascular reserve capacity (CVR) of the patients after carotid artery stent implantation.Methods Totally 96 patients with carotid artery stent implantation underwent CDFI and TCD examinations,and the changes of hemodynamics were compared before and 1 month,6 months,1 a and 2 a after implantation.Results The values of peak systolic velocity (PSV) and resistance index (RI) at the areas of carotid stenosis were lower significantly than those before implantation,while the values of PSV,pulsatility index (PI) and CVR of the middle cerebral artery were obviously higher than those before implantation (P＜0.05).There were no significant differences between the cervical and intracranial hemodynamics indexes 1 month,6 months,1 a and 2 a after treatment.Two-year follow-up found 4 cases of restenoses after implantation,and the rate for restenosis was 4.2％.Conclusion Carotid artery stent implantation improves significantly cervical and intracranial blood supply as well as CVR of the carotid stenosis patient,and CDFI combined with TCD can be used for the accurate evaluation of the efficacy and postoperative follow-up of carotid artery stent implantation.

Objective To observe the effects of asthmatic children treated by inhaled salmeterol xinafoate and fluticasone propi-onate powder. Methods One hundred and fourty cases of moderate and severe asthmatic children were treated in non- acute period aged from 4 to 14 years by inhaling salmeterol xinafoate and fluticasone propionate powder, compared with control group treated by flu-ticasone propionate in 106 cases, and the pulmonary function was monitored simultaneously. Results The total effective rate of the treatment group and control group were 99. 3 % , 99. 1 % , respectively.The pulmonary function indexes such as the first one second expiration volume(FEV1), flow velocity of 50 % expiration vital capacity(FEF50%), peak expiration velocity(PEF1) after being treated 4 months was improved significantly compared with those before treatment.The difference between them was statistically significant (P
