Objective: To compare the efficacy of casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate nanocomplexes (CPP-ACP) and Duraphat varnish on preventing radiation caries and dentin hypersensitivity (DH) in irradiated head and neck cancer pa-tients. Methods:A total of 112 patients with head and neck cancer who will undergo radiotherapy were selected and randomly divided into the CPP-ACP group (experimental group) and the Duraphat varnish group (control group). A day prior to the scheduled radiothera-py, CPP-ACP containing paste had been applied once a day for 5 weeks to the teeth surface of the experimental group. Duraphat varnish was applied with the same frequency in the control group. The decay missing filling tooth (DMFT), decay missing filling surface (DMFS), and DH of two groups before radiotherapy and 12 months after radiotherapy were observed and statistically analyzed. Re-sults:Before radiotherapy, DMFT, DMFS, and DH showed no significant differences between the groups (P>0.05). However, signifi-cant increase in DMFT, DMFS, and DH was noted in the two groups 12 months after the radiotherapy (P<0.05). A higher increase was observed in the DMFT, DMFS, and DH of the control group compared with those in the experimental group (P<0.05). Conclusion:CPP-ACP effectively reduced radiation caries and sensitivity in irradiated head and neck cancer patients and deservesclinical applica-tion.

Objective To understand the epidemic situation and characteristics of malaria in Yunnan Province,so as to pro?vide the reference for malaria elimination. Methods The data of malaria reported in the information system were collected and analyzed in Yunnan Province from 2011 to 2013. Results From 2011 to 2013,totally 2 256 malaria cases were found in Yun?nan Province,with a morbidity of 0.162 8 per million and three of them were death cases. The local cases mainly distributed along the boundary and accounted for 29.48%,while the imported cases mainly came from Myanmar and accounted for 70.52%. The number of endemic counties with local malaria cases decreased from 37 to 10 during the three years. The number of import?ed cases reached the peak in May and the local cases in June. The patients were mainly aged from 20 to 49 years old(accounted for 70.58%),and 85.24% of the cases were peasants and laborers. Totally 86.66% of cases were laboratory confirmed cases, and 13.14% were clinically diagnosed. The proportions of cases reported by hospitals,health service centers and CDCs were 33.02%,37.06% and 29.92%,respectively. Conclusions The prevalence of malaria in Yunnan Province decreased from 2011 to 2013. The work of malaria cases double?checked by province?level CDCs is effective.
