Objective To understand the changes of positive rates of IHA detections of outpatients in schistosomiasis clinic. Results The data of IHA detections of outpatients in schistosomiasis clinic in Hubei Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention were collected and analyzed statistically from 2005 to 2014. Results A total of 7 113 outpatients were detected by IHA test,and 547 of them were positives with a positive rate of 7.69%. The positive rate of IHA test was on an upward slope be?fore 2008,and the rate reached 14.85% in 2008,which was significantly higher than that in 2005(5.81%)( χ2 = 47.40,P<0.01),then it was on a declined stage after 2008,and the positive rate decreased to 3.76 in 2014,which was significantly lower than that in 2008( χ2 = 12.29,P<0.01). The positive rate of outpatients in the 10~<30 years age group was higher than those in other age groups(all P < 0.012 5),and the male positives were more than the female ones. Conclusions The schisto?somiasis endemic situation has been significantly decreased in Hubei Province. The male and people in 10~<30 age group are the high risk groups,so the targeted health education should be strengthened.

Objective:To investigate the current situation of emergency medical service (EMS) system and its effect on treatment of the acute stage and short- and long-term prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction in Hebei province.Methods:Totally 2 961 patients with acute myocardial infarction who were admitted to major tertiary and some representative secondary hospitals in Hebei province from January 2016 to December 2016 were collected. According to the pattern of arriving hospital, all the patients were divided into the EMS group and self-transport group. The general conditions, time from onset to treatment, treatment methods, in-hospital mortality rate and 3-year mortality rate were compared between the two groups.Results:Of the included 2 961 patients, 33.13% of them were transported through EMS and 66.87% of them by private transport. Patients with a history of hypertension and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction were more likely to choose EMS, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Moreover, patients in the EMS group were more likely to go to tertiary hospitals for treatment (88.58% vs 85.76%, P=0.033). The time from onset to treatment of the EMS group was significantly shorter than that of the self-transport group (160 min vs 185 min, P<0.01), and the proportion of patients in the EMS group from onset-to-door time in <3 h and 3-6 h was higher than that of the self-transport group (55.76% vs 49.14%, 21.41% vs 19.09%, P<0.01). Compared with the self-transport group, the EMS group has a higher rate of reperfusion therapy (67.48% vs 61.67%, P=0.002). Patients in the EMS group had a higher in-hospital mortality rate in the acute stage (7.03% vs 4.44%, P=0.003), but its 3-year mortality rate was lower than that of the self-transport group (17.31% vs 20.77%, P<0.05). Conclusions:EMS can shorten symptom-onset-to-arrival time, increase the rate of reperfusion therapy and improve long-term prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Objective:To investigate the in-hospital diagnosis and treatment time for patients with acute ischemic stroke in Hebei Province.Methods:The data of in-hospital diagnosis and treatment of acute ischemic stroke in Hebei Province were collected and analyzed, and then compared with the NINDS recommended time. Methods The data of in-hospital diagnosis and treatment of acute ischemic stroke in Hebei Province were collected and analyzed, and then compared with the NINDS recommended time.Results:The median time in hospital diagnosis and treatment was significantly longer than the NINDS recommended time (104 min vs. 60 min, P<0.001). The median time from completing the cranial CT scan to getting the CT report differed significantly to the NINDS recommended time (30 min vs. 20 min, P<0.001). The median time from getting the CT report to obtaining treatment was 43 min, which was significantly longer than the NINDS recommended 15 min ( P<0.001). The median time of in-hospital diagnosis and treatment for emergency service system (EMS) patients was 101 min, which was shorter than that for non-EMS patients (104 min, P=0.01). The median time of in-hospital diagnosis and treatment in Tertiary Hospital was 105 min, which was significantly longer than that in Secondary Hospital 99 min, ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The in-hospital emergency treatment delay in Hebei Province was relatively serious for patients with acute ischemic stroke. The time between obtaining the head CT report to beginning thrombolytic therapy is the most important factor in hospital delay. EMS can shorten in-hospital delay for acute ischemic stroke. Compared with the tertiary hospital, the secondary hospital has shorter in-hospital delay time.

Objective:To explore the selection of strategies for early reperfusion therapy and its impact on prognosis in patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Methods:The treatment data and 3-year follow-up results of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients in 49 hospitals in Hebei Province from January to December 2016 were collected. Patients with STEMI who received either intravenous thrombolytic therapy (ITT) or primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) within 12 hours of onset were enrolled. Baseline data, the time from the first diagnosis to the start of reperfusion (FMC2N for ITT patients and FMC2B for PPCI patients), vascular recanalization rate, in-hospital mortality, 1-year mortality, and 3-year mortality were compared between ITT and PPCI groups. The efficacy and prognosis of ITT and PPCI at different starting time of reperfusion (FMC2N≤30 minutes, FMC2N > 30 minutes, FMC2B≤120 minutes, FMC2B > 120 minutes) were analyzed.Results:A total of 1 371 STEMI patients treated with ITT or PPCI were selected, including 300 patients in the ITT group and 1 071 patients in the PPCI group. 1 055 patients were actually followed up (205 patients in the ITT group and 850 patients in the PPCI group), with a rate of 79.4%. There were no significant differences in age, gender, and previous history between the two groups. The time from the first diagnosis to the start of reperfusion in the ITT group was shorter than that in the PPCI group [minutes: 63 (38, 95) vs. 95 (60, 150), U = -9.286, P = 0.000], but was significantly longer than the guideline standard. Compared with the ITT group, the vascular recanalization rate in the PPCI group was higher [95.5% (1 023/1 071) vs. 88.3% (265/300), P < 0.01], and in-hospital mortality was lower [2.1% (22/1 071) vs. 6.7% (20/300), P < 0.01], but there were no significant differences in the 1-year mortality and 3-year mortality [5.3% (45/850) vs. 4.4% (9/205), 9.5% (81/850) vs. 9.3% (19/205), both P > 0.05]. Between ITT group and PPCI group with different reperfusion starting time, the FMC2N > 30 minutes group had the lowest vascular recanalization rate and the highest in-hospital mortality. Pairwise comparison showed that the vascular recanalization rate of the FMC2B ≤ 120 minutes group and the FMC2B > 120 minutes group were significantly higher than those of the FMC2N > 30 minutes group [95.5% (654/685), 95.6% (369/386) vs. 88.0% (220/250), both P < 0.008], the in-hospital mortality was significantly lower than that of the FMC2N > 30 minutes group [2.0% (14/685), 2.1% (8/386) vs. 7.6% (19/250), both P < 0.008]. There was no significant difference in 1-year mortality (χ 2 = 2.507, P = 0.443) and 3-year mortality (χ 2 = 2.204, P = 0.522) among the four groups. Conclusions:For STEMI patients within 12 hours of onset, reperfusion therapy should be performed as soon as possible. PPCI showed higher infarct related artery opening rate and lower in-hospital mortality compared with ITT, and had no effect on 1-year and 3-year mortality.

Objective The aim of this experiment was to explore the effect and mechanism of intestinal microbiota on shaping the growth performance by fecal microbiota transplantation from pigs to pseudo-germ-free mice. Methods Thirty-six barrows with a similar initial body weight of 30 kg were raised for 42 days(ad libitum)within individual metabolic cages. Feed intake and body weight of each pig were recorded every week to calculate the feed conversion rate and average daily gain. At the end of the experiment,feed conversion ratio and average daily gain were integrated to divide the pigs into 3 groups, namely, high growth performance(HP), moderate growth performance(MP)and low growth performance(LP)groups. Feces were collected to calculate the total intestinal nutrient digestibility and prepare for fecal microbiota transplantation to pseudo-germ-free mice, which were induced with several antibiotics for four weeks. Fecal microbiome structure was assayed by profiling V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene. Results Fecal microbiota transplantation from pigs to pseudo-germ-free mice resulted in reappearance of the original phenotype. Compared with the LP pigs, the microbial species richness and microbial diversity in feces were higher in the HP pigs. The HP pigs had improved digestibility of gross energy(P =0.01)and higher abundance of Methanobrevibacter. Enterococcus and Akkermansia were also more abundant in the recipient pseudo-germ-free mice from the HP pigs which may be correlated with a high energy utilization. Conclusions Fecal microbiota transplantation from pigs to mice results in reappearance of the original phenotype and microbial species richness,microbial diversity,and their growth ability. Different nutritional metabolism is shown among pigs with different feed efficiency and the HP pigs have improved energy utilization(P=0.01). At the same time, the bacteria correlated with high energy utilization are more abundant in feces of HP pigs than in LP pigs.
