Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of imported malaria in Suining City from 2011 to 2016,so as to provide the evidence for improving the surveillance,risk assessment and control measures of imported malaria. Methods The malaria epidemic data in Suining City from 2011 to 2016 were collected from the reporting system,and statisti-cal analyzed. Results Totally 71 malaria cases were reported in Suining City from 2011 to 2016,and they were all imported cases. Sixty cases(84.51%)were imported from Africa. There were cases reported throughout the year,and no obvious seasonal distribution characteristics. The median time from onset to seeing a doctor was 2 days;the median time from seeing a doctor to confirmed diagnosis of malaria was 4 days. Totally 63.38%of the cases were diagnosed of malaria in initially seeing a doctor. For-ty-three cases were diagnosed by county and municipal medical institutions,accounting for 60.56%. All cases were laboratory confirmed cases,and they all received the standardized treatment. Conclusion The imported malaria epidemic situation in Su-ining City is still severe,and it is necessary to strengthen the management of floating population and professional training of med-ical staff so as to prevent the second malaria cases and deaths.

Objective To investigate the effects of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) preconditioning on oxidative damage in alveolar epithelial type Ⅱ (AE- Ⅱ) cells in rats. Methods The primarily cultured AE- Ⅱ cells isolated from male SD rats were randomly assigned to one of 6 groups (n = 8 each): control group (group C),H2O2 group and 4 different concentrations of HO-1 preconditioning group (group H1-4). The cells were continuously incubated for 5 h in group C. H2O2 0.5 mmol/L was added and the cells were incubated for3 h in group H2O2.In group H1-4, HO-1 0.01, 0.10, 1.00 and 10.00 μmol/L were added and the cells were incubated for2 h, then H2O2 0.5 mmol/L was added and the cells were incubated for 3 h. After the end of incubation, the cell morphology was observed under inverted phase contrast microscope, the AE- Ⅱ cells were counted, and the cell viability was determincd. Results The most AE- Ⅱ cells were adherent and round, had homogeneous cytoplasm, and the cytoplasm contains granular materials in group C and H2-4, while the vacuoles appeared in AE- Ⅱ cells and the cell debris appearecd in the supernatant in group H2 O2 and H1 . Compared with group C, the cell count and cell viability were significantly decreased in group H2 O2 and H1 (P < 0.05). Compared with group H2 O2 and H1, the cell count and cell viability were significantly increased in group H2-4 (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the cell count and cell viability between group H2O2 and H1, and among group H2~4(P > 0.05) .Conclusion Preconditioning with 0.10-10.00 μmol/L HO-1 can reduce oxidative damage in rat AE- Ⅱ cells.
