Objective To analyze the epidemic situation of schistosomiasis in Wuhu County from 2012 to 2016,so as to pro-vide the reference for adjusting the control strategy. Methods The data of schistosomiasis prevention and control in Wuhu County from 2012 to 2016 were collected and longitudinally analyzed. Results Since 2013,the average infection rate of schisto-somiasis in the population decreased year by year,and the infection rate decreased to 0 in 2016. Since 2012,the infection rate of livestock was 0. The area with Oncomelania hupensis snails decreased year by year,but it drastically rebounded in 2016. No schistosome-infected snails were found since 2012. Conclusions Schistosomiasis epidemic is effectively controlled in Wuhu County,but there is a possibility of recovery. In the next stage,we should focus on strengthening the control of snails and import-ed infectious sources in order to consolidate the achievements of prevention and control.

Objective: To explore the correlation between sleep and laryngopharyngeal reflux disease by epidemiological approaches. Methods: From May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018, data of age, gender, height, weight, smoking, alcohol consumption, constipation and high fat diet in patients in Otorhinolaryngology specialist clinic, the Eighth Medical Center, General Hospital of the Chinese PLA were retrospectively analyzed. Reflux Symptom Index (RSI), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)were filled. According to RSI scores, patients were divided into case group and control group. The differences of the above indicators between the two groups were compared by Stata 12.0 software, and the risk factors of LPRD were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression. Results: A total of 908 patients were enrolled, including 166 in the case group and 742 in the control group. There was no significant difference in BMI, smoking, drinking, constipation and high fat diet between the two groups (all P>0.05). The PSQI, anxiety and depression score of the case group were higher than those of the control group. The anxiety and depression scores of the patients with sleep disorders in the case group were significantly higher than those of the normal sleepers (all P<0.05). RSI of the patients with sleep disorders was higher than that of the patients with normal sleep(9.5[4.0,16.0]vs. 5.0[1.0,10.0], Z=-6.07, P<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that sleep disorder was the risk factors of LPRD (OR=2.59, 95%CI 1.75-3.84). Conclusions Sleep disorder is related to the occurrence of LPRD. The association between LPRD and sleep disturbances is bidirectional. Sleep disorder may also be related to the anxiety and depression in LPRD patients. Handling sleep disorder timely may benefit LPRD patients.
