Objective:To study the risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with type Ⅰ endometrial cancer.Methods:A total of 279 patients with type Ⅰ endometrial cancer admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University were enrolled from January 2010 to January 2015. The clinical data of all patients were retrospectively analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate patients′ survival rate. Cox regression risk model was used to analyze the risk factors that might affect the prognosis of patients with endometrial cancer.Results:Of 279 patients with endometrial cancer, postoperative recurrence was observed in 36 patients. The 5-year disease free survival rate was 87.10%(243/279). The 2, 3 and 5-year survival rates were 95.9% (95% CI: 93.6%-98.3%), 94.3% (95% CI: 91.6%-97.2%), and 90.4% (95% CI: 86.6%-94.3%). Univariate analysis showed that obesity ( HR=2.194, 95% CI: 1.031-4.671, P=0.041), myometrial invasion ( HR=2.957, 95% CI: 1.382-6.329, P=0.005), tissue grading (G2: HR=3.271, 95% CI: 1.336-8.010, P=0.010; G3: HR=9.933, 95% CI: 3.565-27.672, P<0.001), tumor size ( HR=8.067, 95% CI: 2.426-26.821, P=0.001), abdominal cytology ( HR=3.293, 95% CI: 1.523-7.121, P=0.002), surgery-pathological staging (Ⅲ stage: HR=28.357, 95% CI: 11.516-69.828, P<0.001), nature of lymph node ( HR=14.629, 95% CI: 5.023-42.606, P<0.001), cervical interstitial infiltration ( HR=3.806, 95% CI: 1.653-8.764, P=0.002), accessory metastasis ( HR=9.101, 95% CI: 3.831-21.622, P<0.001) and lymphovascular space invasion ( HR=5.011, 95% CI: 2.233-11.249, P<0.001) were all correlated with the prognosis of the patients. Multivariate analysis showed that the independent risk factors for the prognosis of endometrial cancer patients were depth of myometrial invasion ( HR=2.503, 95% CI: 1.115-5.616, P=0.026), histological grading (G2: HR=3.143, 95% CI: 1.205-8.198, P=0.019; G3: HR=3.655, 95% CI: 1.151-11.610, P=0.028), surgery-pathological staging (Ⅲ stage: HR=27.701, 95% CI: 9.608-79.869, P<0.001) and lymphovascular space invasion ( HR=3.297, 95% CI: 1.370-7.936, P=0.008). Conclusion:Obesity, myometrial invasion, tissue grading, tumor size, abdominal cytology, surgery-pathological staging, nature of lymph node, cervical interstitial infiltration, adnexal metastasis and lymphovascular space invasion all affect the prognosis of patients. Depth of myometrial invasion, histological grading, surgical-pathological staging and lymphovascular space invasion are independent risk factors for the prognosis of patients with Ⅰ endometrial cancer.

Objective To study the compliance of forbidden depasturing livestock on the marshland with Oncomelania snails in schistosomiasis endemic areas. Methods According to 3 levels of human infection rates as > 10% ,5%-10% and <5% , 2 204 residents selected randomly from the schistosomiasis endemic villages were sampled with the stratified cluster sampling method in Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Sichuan and Yunnan provinces, and investigated by questionnaire. The contents of the questionnaire included the recognition and implementation of forbidden depasturing livestock on marshland with Oncomelania snails and breeding livestock in bam. Results A total of 78.4% residents agreed forbidden depasturing livestock on marshland with snails, but 3. 7% residents disagreed it. A total of 83. 9% residents considered the relationship between breeding livestock in bam and schistosomiasis control, but 3. 1% residents thought that it was no relationship. The main reasons of depasturing livestock on marshland with Oncomelania snails were the high cost of breeding livestock in bam (36. 2% ) , unaccustomed (26.4% ) and no room for breeding livestock in bam (25.4% ). Conclusion Forbidden depasturing livestock on the marshland with Oncomelania snails should be strengthened according to the local economic, nature environment, agriculture, residents'culture degree and agriculture habit.

Schistosomiasis was once hyper-endemic in Yunnan Province. Following concerted efforts for over 70 years, remarkable achievements have been made for schistosomiasis control in the province. In 2004, the Mid- and Long-term Plan for Schistosomiasis Prevention and Control in Yunnan Province was initiated in Yunnan Province, and the target for transmission control of schistosomiasis was achieved in the province in 2009. Following the subsequent implementation of the Outline for Key Projects in Integrated Schistosomiasis Control Program (2009—2015) and the 13th Five - year Plan for Schistosomiasis Control in Yunnan Province, no acute schistosomiasis had been identified in Yunnan Province for successive 12 years, and no local Schistosoma japonicum infections had been detected in humans, animals or Oncomelania hupensis snails for successive 6 years in the province by the end of 2020. The transmission of schistosomiasis was interrupted in Yunnan Province in 2020. This review summarizes the history of schistosomiasis, changes in schistosomiasis prevalence and progress of schistosomiasis control in Yunnan Province, and proposes the future priorities for schistosomiasis control in the province.

Objective To predict the potential geographic distribution of Oncomelania hupensis in Yunnan Province using random forest (RF) and maximum entropy (MaxEnt) models, so as to provide insights into O. hupensis surveillance and control in Yunnan Province. Methods The O. hupensis snail survey data in Yunnan Province from 2015 to 2016 were collected and converted into O. hupensis snail distribution site data. Data of 22 environmental variables in Yunnan Province were collected, including twelve climate variables (annual potential evapotranspiration, annual mean ground surface temperature, annual precipitation, annual mean air pressure, annual mean relative humidity, annual sunshine duration, annual mean air temperature, annual mean wind speed, ≥ 0 ℃ annual accumulated temperature, ≥ 10 ℃ annual accumulated temperature, aridity and index of moisture), eight geographical variables (normalized difference vegetation index, landform type, land use type, altitude, soil type, soil textureclay content, soil texture-sand content and soil texture-silt content) and two population and economic variables (gross domestic product and population). Variables were screened with Pearson correlation test and variance inflation factor (VIF) test. The RF and MaxEnt models and the ensemble model were created using the biomod2 package of the software R 4.2.1, and the potential distribution of O. hupensis snails after 2016 was predicted in Yunnan Province. The predictive effects of models were evaluated through cross-validation and independent tests, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), true skill statistics (TSS) and Kappa statistics were used for model evaluation. In addition, the importance of environmental variables was analyzed, the contribution of environmental variables output by the models with AUC values of > 0.950 and TSS values of > 0.850 were selected for normalization processing, and the importance percentage of environmental variables was obtained to analyze the importance of environmental variables. Results Data of 148 O. hupensis snail distribution sites and 15 environmental variables were included in training sets of RF and MaxEnt models, and both RF and MaxEnt models had high predictive performance, with both mean AUC values of > 0.900 and all mean TSS values and Kappa values of > 0.800, and significant differences in the AUC (t = 19.862, P < 0.05), TSS (t = 10.140, P < 0.05) and Kappa values (t = 10.237, P < 0.05) between two models. The AUC, TSS and Kappa values of the ensemble model were 0.996, 0.954 and 0.920, respectively. Independent data verification showed that the AUC, TSS and Kappa values of the RF model and the ensemble model were all 1, which still showed high performance in unknown data modeling, and the MaxEnt model showed poor performance, with TSS and Kappa values of 0 for 24%(24/100) of the modeling results. The modeling results of 79 RF models, 38 MaxEnt models and their ensemble models with AUC values of > 0.950 and TSS values of > 0.850 were included in the evaluation of importance of environmental variables. The importance of annual sunshine duration (SSD) was 32.989%, 37.847% and 46.315% in the RF model, the MaxEnt model and their ensemble model, while the importance of annual mean relative humidity (RHU) was 30.947%, 15.921% and 28.121%, respectively. Important environment variables were concentrated in modeling results of the RF model, dispersed in modeling results of the MaxEnt model, and most concentrated in modeling results of the ensemble model. The potential distribution of O. hupensis snails after 2016 was predicted to be relatively concentrated in Yunnan Province by the RF model and relatively large by the MaxEnt model, and the distribution of O. hupensis snails predicted by the ensemble model was mostly the joint distribution of O. hupensis snails predicted by RF and MaxEnt models. Conclusions Both RF and MaxEnt models are effective to predict the potential distribution of O. hupensis snails in Yunnan Province, which facilitates targeted O. hupensis snail control.
