Objective To evaluate the effect of health education on the target population of iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) in Linxia Hui autonomous prefecture.Methods During 2006-2010,IDD health education was carried out in the target population of Linxia Hui autonomous prefecture,and IDD knowledge of 5th grade pupil and 20-50 years old child-bearing women were surveyed by stratified sampling and questionnaire survey methods to evaluate the effect of health education.Results After health education,IDD knowledge passing rate rose from 55.6％ (548/986) and 18.0％(118/657) to 90.0％(1103/1225) and 86.2％(687/797) among pupils and women,respectively.The awareness rates of iodine deficiency in causing goiter,mental retardation and birth born silly children,and the key role of iodized salt in controling IDD were increased from 79.2％ (781/986),76.5％ (754/986),51.7％ (510/986) and 82.3％ (811/986) to 88.8％ (1088/1225),85.6％ (1049/1225),68.7％ (842/1225) and 90.0％ (1103/1225) among pupils,and from 48.6％ (319/657),28.3％ (186/657),15.4％ (101/657) and 39.6％ (260/657) to 86.2％ (687/797),70.0％ (558/797),46.3％ (369/797) and 87.3％ (696/797) among women,and all the difference were significant,respectively.Belief rate held by students that health education can prevent iodine deficiency disorders was 87.3％ (1069/1225),and 52.9％ (648/1225) of the students told their parents about IDD.The rate of consciously purchase of qualified iodized salt was 87.1％ (694/797) after health education among women of childbearing age,and the consumption rate of iodized salt was 64.6％(515/797).More than 90％ of the people in relevant departments knew iodine deficiency disorders related knowledge,in particular,had a clear understanding of intellectual hazards caused by iodine deficiency,and actively supported and participated in health education in the prevention and control of iodine deficiency disorders.Conclusions Comprehensive health education measures taken through schools and religious organizations has promoted a shift in the behavior,beliefs and attitudes of its consciously purchase and consumption of iodized salt,and integrated knowledge,attitude and practice (KAP).It is a good model of health education through religious organizations in ethnic minority areas.It has promoted the health education feasibility and accessibility,and the effect is more durable.

The effect of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) on invasive capability of early pregnant extravillous cytotrophoblasts (EVTs) was investigated in vitro. Primary EVTs were obtained by complex phosphoesterasum digestion and gradient centrifugation from villous tissue aseptically taken from healthy pregnant women. Cytokeratin7 (CK7), vimentin (Vim) and c-erbB-2 were immunocytochemically detected to identify source of cells, and HCMVpp65 antigen was assayed to determine the infection state of primary EVTs by immunocytochemical staining. The EVTs were divided into two groups: control group and HCMV group, and the expression of c-erbB-2, matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9 proteins was detected in two groups by immunocytochemistry and Western blotting. Enzymic activity changes of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were tested by gelatin zymography in primary EVTs infected with HCMV. The invasion of primary EVTs was detected by cell invasion assay in vitro after they were infected by HCMV. The cell source identification showed that the cells obtained were highly-pure primary EVTs, and primary EVTs could be infected by HCMV. Primary EVTs could express c-erbB-2, MMP-2 and MMP-9 proteins, and as compared with control group, the protein expression was decreased significantly in HCMV groups (P<0.05). Primary EVTs could secrete active MMP-2 and MMP-9 in vitro, and the activity of two MMPs was decreased significantly in HCMV groups (P<0.05). The in vitro cell invasion assay showed that the number of primary EVTs permeating Matrigel in HCMV group was decreased (P<0.05). We are led to conclude that HCMV can infect primary EVTs and inhibit their invasion capability, suggesting that the impaired EVT's invasion capability might be related to the abnormal expression of c-erbB-2, MMP-2 and MMP-9 proteins.
