Chinese Journal of Schistosomiasis Control 2015;(3):321-322
Objective To understand the implementation status and effect of prevention and control of malaria in Libo Coun?ty so as to provide the evidence for improving the malaria elimination working. Methods The data about malaria from the county CDC and county hospital were collected and 16 villages from 8 townships were randomly sampled and 10 villagers of each village were investigated. Other information about the prevention and control of malaria was also investigated. Results The inci?dence of malaria was decreasing annually from 5.75 per 10 000 in 2008 to zero in 2012. The malaria monitoring could be well conducted in the county and township levels. The infection source could be controlled in time. The utilization rate of anti?mosqui?to facilities in the residents was 93.25%and the awareness rate of knowledge about malaria prevention and control was 40.13%. Conclusions The implementation and effect of prevention and control of malaria are satisfactory in Libo County but the medi?um control is limited and the active protection consciousness of the residents is not strong. Therefore the task of malaria elimina?tion is still very arduous.

Objective To investigate the genetic aberrations in extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mueosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas from different sites of the body in Chinese patients. Methods Two hundred and seventeen paraffin-embedded MALT lymphoma specimens from 11 major sites were studied with interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to detect t(11; 18) (q21;q21)/API2-MALT1, t(1; 14) (p22; q32)/IGH-BCL10, (14; 18) (q32; q21)/IGH-MALT1 and BCL6 gene involved chromosome translocations. Results These translocations were mutually exclusive and detected in 21% (46/217) of the cases, including t(11;18) (q21;q21) API2-MALT1 13% (29/217), t (1;14)(p22 ;q32) IGH-BCLIO in 1% (3/217), t(14;18) (q32;q21) IGH-MALT1 1% (2/217), BCL6 involved translocation in 2% (4/217) and IGH-unknown translocation partner in 4% (8/217). t(11; 18) (q21;q21)API2-MALT1 was found with the highest frequency in MALT lymphoma from lungs (47% , 8/17) and small intestine (29%, 4/14), followed by salivary gland (17%, 1/6), stomach (14%, 12/84) and ocular adnexae (6% , 4/68). t(1 ;14) (p22;q32) was only detected in lungs (12%, 2/17) and stomach (1%, 1/84). t(14;18) (q32;q21) was mainly detected in lungs (6%, 1/17) and ocular adnexae (2%, 1/68). BCL6 gene involved translocation was detected in salivary gland (17% , 1/6) and stomach (4%, 3/84). Conclusions It is demonstrated that the four translocatidns occur with markedly variable frequencies in MALT lymphoma of different sites in Chinese patients. The distributions of these chromosome translocations in Chinese patients are slightly different from those reported in western patients.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of 17-AAG combined with paclitaxel (PTX) on the proliferation and apoptosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cell line Eca-109 in vitro.
METHODSEca-109 cells were treated with 17-AAG and PTX either alone or in combination. The proliferation of Eca-109 cells was detected by MTT assay, and the cell cycle changes and cell apoptosis were determined by flow cytometry.
RESULTSCompared with the control group, both 17-AAG and PTX significantly inhibited the proliferation of Eca-109 cells. A combined treatment of the cells with 0.5 µmol/L PTX and 0.625 µmol/L 17-AAG produced an obviously stronger inhibitory effect on the cell proliferation than either of the agents used alone (P<0.01). Flow cytometry showed that, 17-AAG and PTX used alone caused Eca-109 cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase and S phase, respectively, and their combined use caused cell cycle arrest in both G2/M and S phases. The cell apoptosis rates of Eca-109 cells treated with 17-AAG, PTX and their combination were 4.52%, 10.91%, and 29.88%, respectively, all significantly higher than that in the control group (1.32%); the combined treatment resulted in a distinct apoptotic peak that was significantly higher than that caused by either of the agents alone.
CONCLUSION17-AAG and PTX can inhibit cell proliferation and promote apoptosis of Eca-109 cells, and their combination produces stronger effects in inhibiting cell proliferation and increasing cell apoptosis.
