Objective To understand the epidemic situation,epidemiological characteristics and clinical features of import?ed malaria in Donghai County,Lianyungang City from 2005 to 2015. Methods The epidemiological data of imported malaria in Donghai County from 2005 to 2015 were collected and analyzed by the descriptive epidemiological method. Results A total of 126 imported malaria cases were reported in Donghai County from 2005 to 2015,including 101 falciparum malaria cases (80.19%),13 ovale malaria cases(10.32%),7 vivax malaria cases(5.56%),4 quartan malaria cases(3.17%),and 1 case with mixed infection(0.79%). These cases were distributed in 14 towns,and mainly in 4 towns namely Niushan,Tuofeng,Shil?iu,and Huangchuan,and the cases in the 4 towns accounted for 63.49% of the total cases. The cases occurred in the whole year,but the peak period of the disease was in April,which was related to the returned time of these patients from foreign coun?tries. All the patients were male and aged from 20 to 55 years,and those aged from 20 to 50 years accounted for 90.70%. Con?clusions The epidemic situation of imported malaria presents a rising trend in Donghai County in recent 10 years. To control imported malaria,the above?mentioned 4 towns with more migrant construction workers and businessmen should be treated as key areas. Meanwhile,the floating population management,disposal of the malaria epidemic spots,mosquito vector monitoring as well as health education should be strengthened.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the influence of capecitabine combined with radiotherapy on postoperative survival rate, relapse rate and survival quality of elderly patients with rectal cancer at Ⅱ-Ⅲ stage. METHODS:110 patients with rectal cancer atⅡ-Ⅲ stage were selected and randomly divided into control group and observation group with 55 cases in each group. Both group received radical resection of rectal carcinoma. Control group was given three dimensional conformal radiation therapy(3DCRT)af-ter operation;observation group was additionally given capecitabine 1 500 mg/m2,d1-14,qd,on the basis of control group. A treatment course lasted for 21 d,and both groups received 2 courses of treatment and followed up for 3 years. The survival rate and metastasis and recurrence rate of 2 groups were compared as well as KPS score before and after treatment. Toxic reaction of 2 groups was also observed. RESULTS:The follow-up total survival rate and disease-free survival rate of observation group were 89.09%and 76.36%,which were significantly higher than 74.55%and 54.55%of control group;the distant metastasis rate and lo-cal recurrence rate were 12.73% and 5.45%,which were significantly lower than 30.91% and 21.82%,with statistical significance (P<0.05). KPS score of 2 groups were increased significantly,between 2 groups before and after treatment ,with statistical signifi-cance(P<0.05);Comparison between groups(P>0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of nausea and vom-iting,diarrhea and urinary tract reaction between 2 groups (P>0.05);but the incidence of bone marrow arrest in observation group was significantly higher than control group(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Capecitabine combined with 3DCRT can effectively improve postoperative distant survival rate of patients with rectal cancer at Ⅱ-Ⅲ stage,and reduce the metastasis and recurrence risk;do not lower life quality and induce serious adverse reactions.

This paper, based on recent 10 years pharmacological experimental studies, reviews the effects of total flavones of epimedium on cardiovascular system, circulatory system, immune system and bone marrow system, etc.

AlM:To evaluate the early diagnosis of sub-clinic stage of diabetic retinopathy.
METHODS: This was cross sectional study, multifocal retina electroretinogram ( mf-ERG ) , contrast sensitivity ( CS) and central retinal artery color Doppler examination were recorded from 30 cases ( 30 eyes ) matched control subjects, 35 cases (35 eyes) with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) without diabetic retinopathy ( NDR) and 38 cases ( 38 eyes ) with non-prolifera tive diabetic retinopathy ( NPDR) . One-way ANOVA and SNK-q test were used for data analysis.
RESULTS: P1 response density of NDR patients were found decrease, N1 implicit time were delayed. Which were related with the degree of retinopathy (P<0. 05);CS of NDR patients were found significant in middle and high frequency ( P < 0. 05 ), NPDR patients were found significant in full frequency ( P<0. 05 ); Central retinal artery (CRA) blood flow in the control groups and NDR groups were not found statistically significant (P>0. 05), The differences between normal group, NDR group and NPDR group were found statistically significant (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSlON: mf-ERG and CS are sensitive indexes for early evaluation of visual function in patients with diabetes mellitus, with development of the disease, CRA blood flow also appears to decline.

Objective To determine the mechanism of nitric oxide synthase(NOS) and prostacyclin(PGI2) acting on splanchnic hyperdynamic circulation of portal hypertention(PHT). Methods Ninety-six Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups, namely, intrahepatic portal hypertension(IHPH, n=31), prehepatic portal hypertension(PHPH, n=33) and sham-operated controls(SO, n=32). Animals of each group were received indomethacin(INDO) either on a short term or long term with saline as control. Portal venous pressure, together with the concentration of nitric oxide (NO) and PGI2 in serum was measured. The constitutive nitric oxide synthase(cNOS)and inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS)activity in the abdominal aorta and small intestine of these rats were detrmined by spectrophotometry method. RT-PCR was performed to measure the levels of iNOS and cNOS mRNA in the arteries and guts mentioned above. Results Although INDO decreased the concentration of PGI2 in serum, the long-term INDO-treated group restored splanchnic hyperdynamic circulation in both IHPH and PHPH rats, concomitant with enhanced expression of iNOS and concentration of NO(P0.05). Conclusion Overproduction of NO inducing hemodynamic abnormalities of PHT is synthesized principally by increase of iNOS. There may be a possible interaction between PGI2 and NO in hyperhemodynamics of PHT, while PGI2 may not be a mediator in the formation and development of hyperdynamic circulatory state.

Objective To compare the development of intraoperative atrial fibrillation in elderly patients undergoing thoracic surgery using different anesthetic methods in a large sample clinical trial.Methods A total of 1 380 patients of both sexes,aged 60-80 yr,with body mass index of 16-33 kg/m2,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective radical operations for lung or esophageal cancer,were divided into 3 groups (n =460 each) using a random number table:general anesthesia group (group G),general anesthesia combined with paravertebral block group (group GP),and general anesthesia combined with epidural block group (group GE).After induction of anesthesia,an epidural catheter was placed at T4-7 interspace on the operated side,and 0.375％ ropivacaine 8 ml was administrated via the catheter in group GP.After induction of anesthesia,the patients were tracheally intubated and mechanically ventilated,and the end-tidal pressure of carbon dioxide was maintained at 35-45 mmHg in the 3 groups.Maintenance of anesthesia was as follows:propofol was given by target-controlled infusion with the target plasma concentration of 2.5-4.0 μg/ml in the 3 groups;intermittent iv boluses of sufentanil 10 μg were given,and the total dosage was not expected to exceed 1.0 μg/kg in group G;sufentanil 10 μg was injected intravenously when necessary in group GP;0.25％ ropivacaine 5 ml was injected epidurally every 1.5 h in group GE;bispectral index value was maintained at 40-60;rocuronium was injected intravenously according to the condition in the 3 groups.The development of intraoperative atrial fibrillation was recorded.Results The incidence of intraoperative atrial fibrillation was 6.1％,3.7％ and 2.2％ in G,GP and GE groups,respectively.Compared with group G,the incidence of intraoperative atrial fibrillation was significantly decreased in group GE (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the incidence of intraoperative atrial fibrillation in group GP (P＞0.05).Conclusion Compared with general anesthesia,general anesthesia combined with epidural block can decrease the development of intraoperative atrial fibrillation,it is more suitable for this type of patients,however,general anesthesia combined with paravertebral block produces no improvement in the development of intraoperative atrial fibrillation in elderly patients undergoing thoracic surgery.

Objective To observe the acute skin and mucous membrane reactions in patients treated with concurrent radiochemotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma,and to analyze the influencing factors.Methods A total of 85 nasopharyngeal carcinoma cases treated with concurrent radiochemotherapy were enrolled in the study.Fifteen clinical and laboratory indexes,including BMI,radiation dose,degree of acute oral mucous and skin reactions and blood routine test were observed weekly.Univariate and multivariate regression analysis were performed to assess the factors,and screen the independent factors.Results Multiple-factor analysis showed that the risk factors cloesly related with acute radioactive oral mucosa reactions were smoking history(OR =3.467,P ＜ 0.05),single-dose of gross tumor volume (GTV) ＞2.15 Gy(OR =3.393,P ＜ 0.05),while those with acute radiation skin reactions were diabetes history(OR =87.859,P ＜ 0.05) and hemoglobin values 1 week before radiotherapy ＞ 130 g/L (OR =21.404,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions In the patients treated with concurrent radiochemotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma,smoking history and single-dose of GTVnx is the independent risk factors of acute radiation oral mucosa reactions,while diabetes history and hemoglobin values I week before radiotherapy are the independent factors of acute skin reactions.

Objective To observe the influence of early motor cardiac rehabilitation on the life quality of acute myocardial infarction patients. Methods 30 acute myocardial infarction patients underwent percutaneous transluminal coronary intervention (PCI) were randomly divided into rehabilitative group and control group which consist of 15 patients. The rehabilitative group received the individual sports programme and health education in addition to conventional treatment and nursing. The control group was just treated by traditional way. Barthel index was used to evaluate the self-care ability and life quality. Results The rehabilitative group had significantly higher self-care ability compared with control group after 30 days' treatment[(85.48 ±6.77)points vs (69.35 ±6.46)points] (P＜0.05).The rehabilitative group could care by themselves and carry on the light physical activity. In addition, heart rehabilitatione frequency was the favorable factor for improving the life quality of acute myocardial infarction patients.Conclusion Early motor cardiac rehabilitation could effectively improve the life quality of acute myocardial infarction patients which had a wide clinical application.

Objective To investigate the effect of batroxobin combined with tranexamic acid on the perioperative bleeding and blood coagulation in the patients undergoing adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.Methods Eighty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 15-26 yr,weighing 41-56 kg,scheduled for elective adolescent idiopathic scoliosis,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =20 each):normal saline group (group A),batroxobin group (group B),tranexamic acid group (group C) and batroxobin combined with tranexamic acid group (group D).0.9 ％ normal saline was infused after admission to the operating room in group A.Batroxobin 0.02 U/kg was infused at 20 min before skin incision,an increment of 0.02 U/kg was given every 2 h until the end of operation and the maximal dose was less than 1 U in group B.Tranexamic acid 20 mg/kg was injected immediately before skin incision,followed by infusion at 10 mg· kg-1 · h-1 until the end of operation in group C.In group D,batroxobin and tranexamic acid were given as the method described in B and C groups.The intraoperative blood loss,volume of autologous and allogeneic blood transfused,transfusion of fresh frozen plasma (FFP),and volume of drainage within 24 h after operation were recorded.Blood routine,prothrombin time (PT),activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT),fibrinogen (Fbi),thrombin time (TT),activated clotting time (ACT),clot rate (CR) and platelet function (PF) were measured.Deep vein thrombosis was detected at 1 week after operation.Results Compared with group A,the intraoperative blood loss,volume of allogeneic blood transfused,transfusion of FFP,volume of autologous blood transfused and volume of postoperative drainage were significantly reduced,and Plt and Fib were significantly increased at T2,3 in groups B,C and D,and PF was increased at T2 in group C,Hct,Plt,Fib and PF were increased and PT was prolonged at T2,3 in group D (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group B,the intraoperative blood loss,volume of allogeneic blood transfused,transfusion of FFP,volume of autologous blood transfused and volume of postoperative drainage were significantly decreased and Hct,Plt,Fib and PF were increased at T2,3 in group D,and the volume of postoperative drainage was increased and Plt increased at T2,3 was in group C (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group C,the intraoperative blood loss,volume of allogeneic blood transfused,volume of autologous blood transfused,volume of postoperative drainage and transfusion of FFP were significantly decreased and Hct,Plt,Fib and PF were significantly increased at T2,3 in group D (P ＜ 0.05).No patients developed blood coagulation disorder and deep vein thrombosis.Conclusion Batroxobin combined with tranexamic acid can significantly reduce the intraoperative blood loss and volume of allogeneic blood transfused and improve the blood coagulation,and the efficacy is superior to that of either alone for the patients undergoing adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

Objective To investigate the histological changes of normal human skin after fixed irradiation with multiple-pulse fractional Er:YAG laser.Methods After hair removal,the upper arms of 7 healthy volunteers were consecutively irradiated with multiple-pulse fractional Er:YAG laser.Tissue samples were resected from the irradiated skin at 1,24,48,72 hours,on day 5,7,15,and 30 after the irradiation.Hematoxylin and eosin(HE)staining and Masson staining were performed to observe the histological changes and collagen proliferation respectively.Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of heat shock protein(HSP)70 and 47.Results The consecutive irradiation with multi-pulse fractional Er:YAG laser generated an array of tapering microscopic treatment zones(MTZs)of gasification and ablation in the upper arm skin.After the irradiation,inflammation developed in the microscopic lesions with the epithelization of epidermal cells within 7 days; local dermal collagen was renewed and remodelled during the 7th to 30th day.HSP70 expression peaked as early as 48 hours after the treatment and maintained until the 7th day,while the high expression of HSP47 persisted from the 15th to 30th day after irradiation.Conclusion The fixed,multiplepulse and fractional Er:YAG laser irradiation can reach the deep dermis,and induce the local proliferation of dermal collagen.
