Objective To investigate the capabilities of Plasmodium microscopic examinations of professional staff in medi-cal institutions in Wuxi City,so as to provide evidences for improving malaria control and elimination work in the future. Meth-ods The data of questionnaires for laboratorial staff in charge of Plasmodium microscopic examinations were collected and ana-lyzed in the medical institutions in Wuxi City in 2016,and the influencing factors related to the capabilities of Plasmodium mi-croscopic examinations were analyzed by the method of logistic regression. Results Totally 54 laboratorial workers in 54 medi-cal institutions in Wuxi City were investigated,16 of them were male,and 38 were female,and the ratio of male to female was 0.42:1. Among the 54 laboratorial workers,12 persons(22.22％)had the experience of detecting Plasmodium in the work. The multivariable analysis showed the ability to detect Plasmodium was associated with male laboratorial workers(adjusted OR =0.11,95％CI:0.02-0.53),laboratorial workers with intermediate or higher professional titles(adjusted OR=5.31,95％CI:1.04-27.19)and laboratorial workers from county and township medical institutions(adjusted OR=0.04,95％CI:0.01-0.98). Conclusions All of the medical institutions in Wuxi City have the capability of microscopic examinations of Plasmodium. How-ever,the ability of laboratorial staff in primary hospitals still should be improved.

Objective To understand the epidemiological characteristics of malaria in Wuxi City,and explore effective strat?egies and measures for malaria elimination. Methods The data on malaria cases in Wuxi from 2005 to 2014 were collected and analyzed. Results In Wuxi City,from 2005 to 2014,201 malaria cases were reported,of which,there were 52 local cases and 149 imported cases. Totally 156 malaria cases were reported from 2005 to 2009,of which 6 cases were infected with Plasmodi?um falciparum,and 45 malaria cases were reported from 2010 to 2014,of which 23 cases were infected with P. falciparum. From 2005 to 2009,the ratio of male to female was 2.39:1. Migrant workers,farmers and workers were the major infected popu?lations,with a proportion of 41.03%,17.95% and 9.62%,respectively. From 2010 to 2014,the ratio of male to female was 10.25:1. Workers,farmers and migrant workers were the major infected populations,with a proportion of 37.78%,11.11%and 6.67%,respectively. The peak of malaria incidence was observed from May to October. From 2005 to 2009,most cases were re?ported by CDCs,and from 2010 to 2014,most cases were reported by medical institution. There was an increase in proportion of P. falciparum. Conclusion The control and prevention of malaria should focus on imported cases in the future in Wuxi.

Zinc oxide nanowires were hydrothermally synthesized on the surface of an Au cylindrical spiral formed by manually spiraling an Au fiber around an optical fiber core, glucose oxidase was immobilized on these nanowires by physical adsorption, and then a spirally hierarchical structure-based glucose enzymatic electrode was obtained. The surface morphologies of the spirally hierarchical structures and corresponding enzymatic electrodes were extracted, and the electrochemical performances of the enzymatic electrodes were characterized. It was concluded that the synthesizing parameters of zinc oxide nanowires significantly affected the surface morphologies and glucose oxidase immobilization on the spirally hierarchical structures, and further the performances of related glucose sensors. With Zn2﹢concentration of the growth solution set at 25 mmol/L, the roughness of surface morphology was determined to be 0. 10 μm and correlation length 0. 29 μm, resulting in a better immobilization of glucose oxidase upon zinc oxide nanowires. In this case the sensitivity of the glucose sensor was determined to be 2. 15 μA/(mmol/L·cm2), the linear range was 0-4. 50 mmol/L, the low detection limit was 9. 20 μmol/L and Michaelis-Menten constant was 3. 68 mmol/L. The results not only benefit the batch production of the spirally hierarchical structure-based enzymatic electrodes, but also significantly improve the performances of the glucose sensors.

Objective To evaluate the impacts of the two different gastrectomy methods on the quality of life,complication and prognosis in proximal gastric cancer.Methods One hundred and two cases of proxi-mal gastric cancer in Tung Wah Hospital were collected for retrospective analysis.They were divided into proxi-mal gastrectomy/gastroesophagostomy (PG)group (n =50)and total gastrectomy/esophagojejunostomy (TG) group (n =52),according to the methods of gastrectomy and reconstruction.The postoperative complications, nutritional status and prognosis of the two groups were compared.Results The incidence of reflux esophagitis was obviously higher in PG group than that in TG group (38.0% vs 1 9.2%,χ2 =4.464,P =0.035).No sig-nificant differences were found between the two groups in the incidences of postoperative infection,bleeding and anastomotic leakage (χ2 =0.063,P =1 .000;χ2 =0.001 ,P =0.978;χ2 =0.31 1 ,P =0.577).There were no significant differences between PG and TG group in total plasma protein [(65.26 ±4.1 0)g/L vs (65.33 ± 3.75)g/L,t =-0.402,P =0.688],albumin [(39.76 ±2.1 7)g/L vs (39.59 ±2.04)g/L,t =1 .778,P =0.076],hemoglobin [(1 07.33 ±1 1 .1 0)g/L vs (1 08.09 ±1 1 .1 7)g/L,t =-1 .502,P =0.1 33]and weight loss [1 .00 ~8.00 kg vs 0.50 ~8.20 kg,t =-1 .622,P =0.1 05]in one year postoperatively.All cases were followed-up for 7 months to 1 0 years.No significant differences were found between PG and TG group in the incidences of anastomotic tumor recurrence (4.0% vs 5.8%,χ2 =0.1 71 ,P =0.679),metastasis (24.0% vs 28.8%,χ2 =0.308,P =0.579)and median survival time (53.6 months vs 49.8 months,χ2 =2.564,P =0.1 09).Conclusion Compared with PG group,the incidence of postoperative reflux esophagitis is effectively reduced,and the incidences of malnutrition,tumor recurrence and metastasis and death are not increased in TG group.Hence,TG should be a safe and effective surgery strategy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the intervention effect of heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) on learning and memory impairment induced by combined exposure to lead and hypertension in mice, and the relative mechanism of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2). Methods Specific pathogen-free C57BL/6J male mice were randomly divided into control group, hypertension group, lead-exposed group and lead-exposed + hypertension group, or into control group, heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) control group, lead-exposed + hypertension group and HSP60 intervention group, with 10 mice in each group. Mice of hypertension group and lead-exposed + hypertension group were intraperitoneally injected with angiotensin Ⅱ at a dose of 0.5 mg/(kg·d) for seven consecutive days to induce hypertension model. Mice of the lead-exposed group, lead-exposed + hypertension group, and HSP60 intervention group were given lead acetate drinking water with a mass concentration of 250.0 mg/L, while mice in the control group, hypertension group, and HSP60 control group were given purified water for 12 weeks. Mice of the HSP60 control group and HSP60 intervention group were intraperitoneally injected with a solution of HSP60 at a dose of 4 mg/kg body weight, every other day for a total of three times at the 12th week. The learning and memory ability of mice was detected using the Morris water maze test. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the hippocampal tissues of the mice. The relative expression of ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule-1 (IBA1) and TREM2 protein in the hippocampus of mice was detected using Western blot. Results i) The number of platform crossings of the mice in the hypertension group and the lead-exposed group was lower than that in the control group (both P<0.05). The escape latency of the mice on the third day was longer and the number of platform crossings was lower in the lead-exposed + hypertension group compared with the control group, hypertension group and lead-exposed group (all P<0.05). The levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in the hippocampus of the other three groups increased compared with the control group (all P<0.05). The relative expression of IBA1 protein in the hippocampus of lead-exposed group and lead-exposed + hypertension group increased (all P<0.05), while the relative protein expression of TREM2 decreased compared with the control group (all P<0.05). The levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and the relative protein expression of IBA1 protein in the hippocampus of the lead-exposed+hypertension group were higher (all P<0.05), and relative expression of TREM2 protein was lower (P<0.05) than those in the hypertension group. The level of TNF-α and the relative expression of IBA1 protein in the hippocampus of lead-exposed+hypertension group were higher than those in lead-exposed group (all P<0.05). ii) The escape latency of mice in the lead-exposed + hypertension group was longer than that in the control group (P<0.05), and the number of platform crossings was fewer than that in the control group (P<0.05). The escape latency of mice in the HSP60 intervention group was shortened (P<0.05), the number of platform crossings increased (P<0.05), and the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and relative expression of IBA1 protein decreased in the hippocampus (all P<0.05), while the relative expression of TREM2 protein increased (P<0.05) compared with the lead-exposed+hypertension group. Conclusion Combined exposure of lead and hypertension has a synergistic effect on learning and memory impairment in mice. The mechanism may be related to the inhibition of TREM2 expression by lead in the hippocampus of hypertensive mice and aggravating the neuroinflammatory response. Intervention with TREM2 receptor agonist HSP60 can alleviate learning and memory impairment in mice exposed to lead and hypertension by up-regulating TREM2 expression in the hippocampus.

The paper reported a case of a young male patient, with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) multi-organ involvement lesions after allo-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The patient had diverse clinical manifestations, and overlapping acute and chronic disease processes. Acute GVHD were mainly hyperbilirubinemia, with or without elevated transaminase, bloody watery stools; chronic GVHD were highlighted by extensive skin depigmentation, oral mucosal ulcer, sick nails, etc., and chronic signs, such as membranous nephropathy, polyserositis and pulmonary restrictive ventilatory insufficiency. The diagnosis of chronic GVHD mainly relies on medical history combined with clinical manifestations, and it's needed to exclude infections, drugs and tumors. Besides, the rate of missed diagnosis and misdiagnose is high, and it requires multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment. Combined with the literature review, it indicates that there is a greater risk of GVHD in the male recipient with female donor, and peripheral blood stem cell transplant patients have a higher incidence than bone marrow transplant patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, but the effect of the graft-versus-leukemia exists. Currently, glucocorticoids therapy with or without calcineurin inhibitors are the first-line treatment for GVHD, but the overall prognosis is poor.
