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.

Juvenile hemochromatosis is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by progressive tissue iron overload which leads to irreversible organ damage and even death.This disease is mainly caused by mutations in two genes:hemojuvelin gene and hepcidin gene.Different mutations have different phenotype.The two genes may act as modifying genes in HFE hemochromatosis.Hepcidin secreted by liver plays a central role in the regulation of iron homeostasis.HJV can act as a bone morphogenetic protein(BMP)co-receptor which is required for HJV to regulate hepcidin expression and iron homeostasis.Recent researches suggest that the bone morphogenetic protein(BMP)signaling pathway mediated by HJV is a significant mechanism for HJV to regulate hepcidin expression and iron homeostasis.HJV mutant impaires BMP signaling which results in hepcidin expression decrease and abnormal iron metabolism.
