We have allocated 3.445 2 million yuan for the prevention and control of parasitic diseases, including 1.722 2 million Yuan froom provincial government, to achieved full coverage of safe drinking water in rural areas under the current national standards, and 7.687 9 million harmless toilets have been built in rural areas. From 2016 to 2019, we carried out 39 658 person times of monitoring and disease investigation, the infection rate of human liver fluke was 0, and the infection rate of soil transmitted nematode was 0.42%. While the annual infection rates varied, there was no statistically significant difference in infection rate between years (χ2＝2.276, P>0.05), but there were statistically significant differences in the infection rates between various soil nematodes (χ2=112.807, P<0.01). From 2016 to 2019, a total of 5 393 people were detected at 17 monitoring points, with the serum positive rate of 3.93% for paragonimiasis, there was a statistically significant difference in serological positive rate between years (χ2=146.011, P<0.01); a total of 738 stream crabs were collected, and the infection rate of intermediate host was 16.26%, wtih a statistically significant difference in the infection rate of stream crabs between years (χ2=49.731, P<0.01). Conclusions　From 2016 to 2019, we adhered to the prevention and control strategy of "prevention first, prevention and control combined", implemented comprehensively various prevention and control measures, and achieved remarkable results in Hubei Province. The key parasitic diseases have been in a low epidemic situation, meeting the requirements of the prevention and control objectives. But the transmission risk still exists, the next step is to continue to strengthen security and monitoring and consolidate the achievements of prevention and control.

CD38 is a multifunctional enzyme expressed in a variety of mammalian tissues, its catalytic activity was involved in a wide range of physiological processes. Based on the reported inhibitor of human CD38 NADase, 33 purine derivatives were designed and synthesized. The biological activity assay showed that compounds 20 and 38 exhibited almost the same extent of inhibitory activities on human CD38 NADase as the lead compound H2. The results also revealed that small substituents at C-6 of purine ring gave no obvious effect on inhibitory activity, but phenylpropionyl moiety at N-2 could affect the binding mode of the compound with CD38. This study provides a reliable basis for future rational design of inhibitors for CD38.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinicopathological features of primary gastrointestinal non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (PGI-NHL) and their prognostic values.

METHODSThe clinical and pathological data of 216 patients diagnosed as PGI-NHL from Zhejiang Cancer Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. χ² test, log-liner model analysis, COX proportional hazard regression analysis and Life-table survival analysis were used to analyze the survival status of the patients by SAS 8.2 software, and Log-rank test was performed to couple the overall survival rates with different prognostic factors.

RESULTSTotally, the age of onset was 8 to 89 years with the median age of 56.5 years. Male versus female was 1.27∶1(121∶95). The most frequently involved location was stomach (147 cases, 68.1%), followed by ileocecus (25 cases, 11.6%), large intestine (20 cases, 9.3%), small intestine (17 cases, 7.9%) and multiple GI involvement (5 cases, 2.3%). 182 cases were classified as B cell lymphomas, 22 cases as T cell lymphomas, and 12 cases not classified exactly due to insufficient data. The 3-year and 5-year survival rates of the patients were 69.4% and 53.3%, respectively. Univariate analysis revealed that age＞60 years, ECOG≥2, high LDH level, stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, IPI≥2, T cell type and intestinal involvement were predictors for poor prognosis. IPI≥2, T cell type and intestinal involvement were independent adverse predictors for prognosis by multiple COX proportional hazard regression analysis. Among different treatment groups, cases received chemotherapy combined with local radiotherapy gained the best survival status.

CONCLUSIONB-cell lymphoma was the main pathological type in PGI-NHL; IPI≥2, T-cell type and intestinal involvement are independent adverse predictors for prognosis; chemotherapy combined with local radiotherapy might be the choice of approach for advanced stage and aggressive PGI-HNL.

OBJECTIVETo study and identify the protein markers in the urine of children with steroid-sensitive (SSNS) and steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome(SRNS).

METHODSTotal urinary proteins were extracted from children with SSNS before and after steroid therapy, SRNS, and healthy children (n=5 in each group). Urinary proteins were separated by immobilized pH gradient based on two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). The silver-stained 2-DE gels were scanned with digital Image Scanner and analyzed with Image Master 2-DE Elite 3.01 software. Peptide mass fingerprint (PMF) of differential protein spots was obtained with MALDI-TOF-MS. Proteins were identified by Mascot software based on NCBI protein database.

RESULTSThere were 66 spots with different expression of protein between SRNS children and SSNS children before steroid therapy, and 24 spots and 27 spots only occurred in SRNS children and SSNS children before steroid therapy, respectively. There were 75 spots with different expression of protein between SSNS children after steroid therapy and healthy controls, and 11 spots only occurred in SSNS children after steroid therapy. Eighteen protein spots with different expression (6 spots in each nephrotic group) were chose and analyzed by MALDI-TOF-MS, and 9 types of proteins were identified.

CONCLUSIONSNine types of urinary proteins with different expression (6 spots in each nephrotic group) were identified between SRNS and SSNS children, and they might be the biomarkers for SRNS or SSNS.

Purpose To study the clinical features, immunophenotypes and prognostic factors of primary breast diffuse large B-celllymphoma (PBDLBCL). Methods The clinical pathological data of 49 cases of PBDLBCL during January 2006 to December 2016 were retrospectively analysed, and the basic clinical and pathologic data, pathologic types and the immunohistochemical slides by EnVision method for staining were summarized. Results 47 cases were women and 2 cases were men. The age ranged from 24 to 79 year old with the median age of 48 year old. On microscopic observation, tumor cells were large to medium-sized which characterized as diffuse infiltration between the lobules of mammary gland, around the duct, interstitial and fat tissue, some were single file cord pattern. The immunophenotype showed 37 cases were of non-GCB, 12 cases were GCB type. Ki-67 index were greater than 40％. According to Ann Arbor staging, 16 cases were stage I EA, 28 cases were stage Ⅱ EA, 5 cases were stage Ⅳ E. IPI score: 30 cases with 0 ～1 score, 10 cases with 2 score, 9 cases with 3 score. Patients were followed up from 5 to 146 months, The 3-year overall survival (OS) rate was 51.2％ and 5-year OS rate was 36.7％, Single factor analysis showed that there were statistically significant difference in clinical stage, levels of LDH, IPI score, BCL-2 protein expression, and BCL-6 protein expression in 3 and 5 years of OS rate. The multiple factor analysis of Cox regression showed that the increase of IPI risk classification was the independent adverse prognostic factor of primary breast diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Conclusion The diagnosis of PBDLBCL is confirmed by pathological biopsy and immunohistochemical markers. The immunophenotype was mainly non-GCB type. Comprehensive treatment including surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy is appropriate. The prognosis should be comprehensively evaluated by multiple factors. IPI increase risk classification is the independent adverse prognostic factor.
