Objective To assess the risk of secondary transmission induced by imported malaria in Jiangxi Province,so as to provide the evidence for adjustment of malaria surveillance strategies in the key groups and areas. Methods The Delphi method was used to establish the secondary transmission risk indicator system and the weight of each index was obtained. The data of malaria prevalence,vector distribution and intervention capacity were collected in 100 counties of Jiangxi Province from
2012 to 2015. The transmission potential index(TPI),intervention capacity index(ICI),and malaria risk index(MRI)were calculated for each county. The risk map was drawn with GIS software. Results The top ten counties with highly potential risk indicators were Linchuan District(2.131),Xinzhou District(1.609),Jiujiang County(1.404),Zhanggong District(1.365),
Fengcheng City(1.225),Qingshanhu District(1.184),Yudu County(1.171),Dingnan County(1.018),Xunyang District(1.015)and Zhushan District(1.006). The high risk areas were mainly distributed in the regions of the capitals of their prefectures and in counties with more floating population. Conclusions There are the risk of the secondary transmission induced by
imported malaria in Jiangxi Province. The high risk of the secondary transmission is shown in the areas with more floating population and weaker intervention capacity.

Objective To explore the prevalence rates of disabilities among the ethnic minority people in China. Methods Utilizing stratified, multiphase, and cluster probability sampling design, 2 526 145 persons were investigated and screened by trained interviewers,including 297 761 persons with ethnic minority backgrounds. Respondents scoring positive for potential problems were referred to physician for further diagnosis on disability and on scale measurement.Results The overall prevalence rate of disability for both ethnic minority and Han population were 6.24% (95%CI:6.16%-6.51% ) and 6.41% (95% CI: 6.38%-6.51% ) respectively. The total aggregate age-adjusted prevalence rate of disability was 7.31% for persons with ethnic minority. The prevalence rate of disabilities in male was significantly higher than that in females (7.31% vs. 6.75% ). The ranking of prevalence rates on different type of disabilities were: physical disability 1.90% (95%CI:1.89%-1.91%), hearing disability 1.34%(95%CI: 1.33%-1.35%), multiple disability 1.14%(95%CI:1.13%-1.15% ), vision disability 0.99% (95%CI: 0.97%-1.01% ), psychiatric disability 0.38%(95%CI:0.37%-0.40% ), intellectual disability 0.38% (0.37%-0.39%) and speech disability 0.12% (0.11%-0.13% ). Cerebral Palsy, genetic diseases, tympanitis, cerebral disease and mental retardation (not including unknown items) were the major causes for disabled children with ethnicity background.Degenerated diseases, including osteoarthropathy, cerebrovascular disease, elderly-related deafness or cataract were most important causes for ethnic minority persons aged 60 or over. Injury, including traffic accident was important disabled-related factor for persons with minority ethnicity aged 15-59.The main causes and ranking of causes for ethnical minority were similar with that for Han population.Conclusion The prevalence rate of disability for ethnic minority persons was significantly higher than that for Han population in China. Prevention for different types of disability should be provided accordingly to persons with ethnic minority, in different age groups.

Objective To Compare the differences of classification and grading on disability between the TWO National Sample Surveys on Disability in 1987 and 2006, and to analyze the change of structure on disabled population with birth defects (BD). Methods Quantitative analysis had been carried out based on the investigation of two national sample surveys. Results (1)Prevalence rates of Disabilities caused by BD of 0-14, 15-64 and ≥65 age groups in 2006 were 0.1%, 0.28% and 1.15% respectively, all higher than those in 1987. There was significant difference among the age group of ≥65, between the two standard periods of survey. (2) The difference of prevalence rates on Disabilities caused by BD between males and females in 2006 was 0.03% higher than that of 1987 and the difference of proportion on Disability caused by BD between males and females in 2006 was 0.08%, which was lower than those data from the year 1987 (2006: x2=66.254,P<0.001; 1987: x2=22.895, P<0.001 ). (3) Prevalence rate of Disabilities caused by BD in rural area was 0.49% in 1987, and 0.74% in 2006 after standardization, which had an 50% increase during the past 19 years. Prevalence rate of Disabilities caused by BD in urban area was 0.35% in 1987 and 0.50% in 2006, which had an 43%. Increase during the past 19 years. (4) Percentage of grade 1 listen-speech disability caused by BD in 2006 deceased 17.35%, and the intelligent disability caused by BD increased 18.21% in 2006. (5) Compared with 1987, the difference of percentage on primary and higher education among disabled persons with BD disabled population and total population,became smaller in 2006. Conclusion To carry on a better study on disability, evaluation criteria of disability classification and grading standards should not only be taken into account on the continuity of the investigation, but also be better integrated with the international standards in terms of longitudinal comparison of data. Age structure of total population had a significant effect on the changing of structure on disabled persons caused by BD. Rural area was the high-risk area for disability caused by BD in China while female population should be viewed as the focus group of disability caused by BD.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and safety of CT-guided hookwire localization of small lung nodule in video-as-sisted thoracic surgery. Methods: Preoperative localization of small lung nodule was performed using the CT-guided hookwire tech-nique, followed by video-assisted thoracic surgery in the wedge resection. The next mode of operation depends on the results of frozen biopsy. Results:Preoperative localization with CT-guided hookwire was performed in 34 patients between February 2012 and March 2014. The diameter of lung nodule ranged from 5 mm to 22 mm. CT-guided hookwire localization was successful in all patients, with a median positioning time of 23 min. Puncture needles were detached from two of the total patients during the surgery, and three other pa-tients showed pneumothorax by CT scan after localization. Conclusion:Preoperative hookwire localization of small lung nodule is an accurate and safe approach to improve the rate of wedge resection in video-assisted thoracic surgery.
