Objective To investigate the geographical distribution of plague host animals in residential areas and the association between plague and its distribution pattern in Yunnan Province.Methods A systematic investigation on fauna and community ecology of rodents was carried out in residential areas of 17 counties(cities) of Yunnan Province,southwestern China with different longitude,latitude and elevation from May 2007 to November 2012.The characteristics of the spatial distribution of flea communities along environmental gradients were analyzed using community structure indexes.Results A total of 390 small mammals were trapped in seventeen counties (cities),and the mammals were classified into 11 species and 7 genus in 4 families.Among all small host mammals,Rattus tanezumi,Rattus nitidus and Rattus norvegicus were dominant species of host animals in residential areas,accounting for 33.85％ (132/390),20.77％ (81/390) and 16.92％ (66/390),respectively.The horizontal distribution of rodents showed that Rattus tanezumi was the widest species in residential areas,which was found at the longitude 98°-105°,followed by Rattus norvegicus,Rattus yunnanensis and Mus musculus.The vertical and latitudinal distributions of rodents were similar in residential areas.Rattus tanezumi was also the widest distributed species,which was observed at the latitude 21°-＜ 28°N and at the altitude 500-＜ 3 500 m; the constituent of Rattus tanezumi showed similar trends of leaning peak curves,first gradually increasing and then decreasing with the increase of latitude and elevation; Rattus tanezumi gradually changed into Rattus nitidus and Apodemus chevrieri,et al.The richness spatial distribution patterns of host animals showed similar trends of leaning peak curves which gradually increased and then decreased with increasing of longitude and latitude; the highest richness was observed at the longitude 98°-＜ 101°E and at the latitude 23°-＜ 28°N.While,the richness spatial d istribution patterns of host animals were relatively poor in the low or the high altitude range.The highest richness was observed at the altitude between 1 000-＜ 1 500 m and 2 000-＜ 2 500 m.Conclusions All spatial patterns of indoor host animals have shown an aggregated spatial distribution in Yunnan Province.Moreover,important environmental factors such as longitude,latitude,and altitude play a substantial role on the distribution patterns of indoor host animals among various focus,therefore directly impact on the modes of prevalence and transmission of plague.

Objective To evaluate the early diagnostic value of Heart-type fatty acid-binding protein(H-FABP) for myocardial infarction in patients post off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB).Methods Between March 2009 and July 2009,59 patients had been undergone OPCAB for the first time.They were divided into 3 groups (normal group,myocardial injury group and myocardial infarction group) by myocardial-bound creatiue kinase (CK-MB) 、cardiac troponio Ⅰ (cTnI) 、electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiogram.Serial blood samples were taken during perioperation to quantify blood levels of H-FABP,CK-MB,cTnI.Results The average H-FABP value for the patients in the myocardial infarction group is higher than the others ( P ＜ 0.01 ).H-FABP reached the peak valve at 2 hours and decreased at 4 hours after the patients arrived at ICU.H-FABP got back to the baseline one day postoperation.Receiver operating characteristic curves( ROC curve) demonstrated that H-FABP had greater diagnostic ability of myocardial infarction postoperation with area under the curve at the time of arriving at ICU ( 0.900,95％ CI 0.818 -0.981 )and 2 hours later (0.832,95％ CI 0.718 -0.946).At the time of arriving at ICU,sensitivity of H-FABP for diagnosis was 90.9％ and specificity was 77.1％.At the point of 2 hours later,sensitivity was 72.7％ and specificity was 75.0％.Conclusion The H-FABP seems to be an excellent early biomarker of cardiac necrosis after OPCAB.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between the change of Heart-fatty acid-binding protein and myocardial injury/infarction in postoperative of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB).Methods 59 patients (male 37 and female 22,from 46 to 83 years old) who were the first time to undergoing OPCAB were included in this study.Serial venous blood samples were taken at after induction of anesthesia,the OPCAB finished (after the last anastomosis),entered ICU,2,4 and 8 hours after the patient entered ICU,and at 1 and 2 day postoperative to test H-FABP.The cTnI and CK-MB were tested at 4 and 8 hours,after entering ICU,and at 1 and 2 days postoperative.Patients were divided into 3 groups by the changes of ECG and the level of cTnl at 8 hours after they entered ICU:normal group (group I,cTnI ＜0.1 ng/ml),myocardial injury group(group Ⅱ,cTnI 0.l-1.0 ng/ml) and.myocardial infarction group(group Ⅲ,cTnI ＞ 1.0 ng/ml).Results The level of H-FABP released was significantly higher in the myocardial infarction group than normal group and myocardial injury group (P ＜ 0.01).There is good correlation between the H-FABP and cTnI or CK-MB.But the peak level of H-FABP is earlier (finished OPCAB) (P ＜ 0.05),and it peaked early at 2h after entered ICU (P ＜ 0.01),it began to decrease at 4 hours after entered ICU and returned to baseline at 1 day postoperative,while the cTnI and CK-MB peaked at postoperative day 1 and 8h after entered ICU respectively,and maintained in higher level at postoperative 2 days.Conclusion There is good correlation between the H-FABP and perioperative myocardial infarction in OPCAB,and it has superiority compared with cTnI,which is as gold standard for perioperative myocardial infarction,on a certain degree.It can benefit from early detection of H-FABP for myocardial infarction in perioperative of OPCAB.

Objective:Based on Web of Science database, this study aimed to explore the current status, research hotspots and development trends of countries regarding clinical management of osteoporotic fractures using bibliometrics and visualized analysis.Methods:We collected literatures in the field of clinical management of osteoporotic fractures included in Web of Science database, and applied bibliometrics to analyze the publication dates, countries, institutions, journals, authors, highly cited literatures and research hotspots. Visualization was drawn by VOSviewer software.Results:Analysis of the 2 508 articles revealed 3 types of data. (1) The analysis of basic information of the literature showed that: ①The country with the largest number of publications was the United States, which published 672 articles, followed by the United Kingdom and Canada, and China ranked fourth; ②The top three authors in the number of publications were Kanis JA, Cooper C and McCloskey EV respectively; ③The institution with the highest number of publications was the University of Sheffield, UK, followed by the University of Southampton, UK and the University of Toronto, Canada. (2) Network visualization of highly cited literatures showed that 118 highly cited literatures were mainly divided into 5 clusters, which were related to osteoporotic fracture diagnosis, treatment, medication adherence, management consensus and strategies of preventing refracture. (3) Temporal overlay visualization of research hotspots showed that early research mainly focused on traditional therapeutic drugs, and current research hotspots were mainly molecular targeted drugs, trabecular bone score and fracture liaison services.Conclusion:This study shows that the research activity of clinical management of osteoporotic fractures is increasing worldwide, and there is still a huge gap between China and Europe or the United States. Current research hotspots and development trends mainly focus on molecular targeted drugs, osteoporotic fracture treatment concepts, emerging fracture risk assessment tools, and fracture prevention and management models.
