Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and delay in detection of reported brucellosis cases in Nangang District of Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province, in order to provide a basis for improving targeted measures for brucellosis prevention and control.Methods:Data on brucellosis reported in Nangang District of Harbin City between 2018 and 2022 were obtained from the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System. A descriptive analysis was conducted to outline the epidemiological status, epidemiological features, and sources of cases. Seasonal patterns of brucellosis were assessed using the concentration degree and seasonal index methods. Joinpoint regression model was used to analyze the trend of delay in detection.Results:From 2018 to 2022, a total of 4 428 cases of brucellosis were reported in Nangang District, with 1 183 cases (26.72%) reported in 2018 and 528 cases (11.92%) reported in 2022. The gender ratio of the cases was 2.80 ∶ 1.00 (3 264 ∶ 1 164). Most cases occurred in individuals aged 30 to 59 years (73.19%, 3 241/4 428). Occupationally, farmers comprised the majority of cases (88.73%, 3 929/4 428), followed by homemakers/unemployed individuals (3.73%, 165/4 428), and students (2.03%, 90/4 428). Regarding case origin, 31.48% (1 394/4 428) were from Harbin City, while 64.97% (2 877/4 428) originated from other cities within Heilongjiang Province, predominantly from Suihua City (38.89%, 1 722/4 428). Additionally, 157 cases (3.55%, 157/4 428) were reported from outside Heilongjiang Province, all of which were from Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Jilin Province. Brucellosis incidence showed weak seasonality ( M = 0.230), with the epidemic period spanning from March to August. During this period, seasonal indices C exceeded 100%, peaking in July (168.02%). From 2018 to 2022, the average annual delay rate in case detection was 20.14% (892/4 428). The delayed detection rates of brucellosis cases in each year were 30.68% (363/1 183), 17.86% (200/1 120), 17.23% (117/679), 12.75% (117/918), and 17.99% (95/528), respectively (average annual percentage change = - 17.52%, P = 0.090). Conclusions:Brucellosis in Nangang District of Harbin Citydemonstrates weak seasonality, with peak incidence occurring from March to August. Detection delays remain a concern, highlighting the need for sustained surveillance and the implementation of integrated, multi-sectoral prevention and control measures.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of the diagnosis and treatment center for Ebola observing ward and reduce infection risk according to allocation scheduling method of nursing staff. To provide reference for other similar tasks. Methods We used the method of grouping fixed group scheduling method and fixed working hours to identify and refine the content of nursing work. Results A total of 65 cases of suspected Ebola including 5 cases diagnosed as EVD patients were cured. No case of infection occurred in nursing staff. Conclusions During the infectious disease nursing work, reasonable personnel allocation and scheduling method can make the nursing staff work with full energy and strength and ensure the realization ofzero infectiontargets.

Objective To evaluate the endocrine glands derived VEGF (EG-VEGF) influence on growth, migration and apoptosis of pancreatic cancer cells MiaPaCa Ⅱ. Methods MiaPaCa Ⅱ were treated by 100,200 ng/ml EG-VEGF for 24, 48, 72, 96 h, and MTT assay was used to determine the proliferation; and cell scratch experiment was used to investigate the percentage of cell migration distance, flow cytometry was used to measure the apoptosis of the cancer cells. Results After MiaPaCa Ⅱ cells were treated by 0, 100,200 ng/ml EG-VEGF for 72 h, the proliferation of MiaPaCa Ⅱ was 0. 253 ± 0. 012 , 0. 374 ± 0.013,0. 383 ±0.015, respectively EG-VEGF could significantly promote the proliferation of MiaPaCa Ⅱ ( P < 0. 05 ). After MiaPaCa Ⅱ cells were treated by 0, 100 ng/ml EG-VEGF for 24 h, the percentage of cell migration distance was (27.40 ± 3.45 ) % and ( 13.21 ±4.65 ) % ,respectively with statistical difference ( P < 0.05 ), EG-VEGF could significantly promote the migration ability of MiaPaCa Ⅱ cells and inhibite the apoptosis. Conclusions After EG-VEGF treatment, the growth and migration ability of MiaPaCa Ⅱ cells increases, apoptosis decreases.

Objective To investigate the anti-apoptosis effects of EG-VEGF on pancreatic cancer cell MiaPaCa and its molecular mechanism. Methods The cells were treated with 50, 100, 200 ng/ml EG-VEGF. Flow cytometry was used to determine the apoptosis. The expression of p42/44MAPK, STAT3 protein and the phosphorylation, and anti-apoptosis protein Mcl-1 was evaluated by Western blot. Non-specific G protein-coupled receptor antagonist PTX, Rsa/ERK signal transduction blockade PD98059, JAK/STAT3 signal transduction blockade AG490 were used to treat the cells for 1 h, and the change of Mcl-1 protein was observed. Results After treated with 50 ng/ml EG-VEGF, the apoptosis rate of MiaPaCa was decreased from (28.4 ±4.6)% to (13.21 ±4.65)% (P<0.05) ; the phosphorylation of p42/44MAPK increased by 1.735 ± 0.019 folds; the phosphorylation of STAT3 increased by 21.810 ± 0.052 folds; the expression of Mcl-1 protein increased by 3.460 ±0.002 folds when compared with that of control group,and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05 ). But the degree of phosphorylation and the expression of Mcl-1 were not further increased with 100, 200 ng/ml EG VEGF treatment. After PTX pre-treatment, the increase of Mcl-1 protein expression was completely inhibited, and after PD98059, AG490 pre-treatment, the increase of Mcl-1 expression was inhibited to 52% and 68%. Conclusions EG-VEGF can inhibit MiaPaCa cell from apoptosis,and the mechanism may be related with activation of Ras MAPK and JAK STAT3 signal transduction pathway and up-regulation of Mcl-1.
