Objective: To investigate the characteristics and trends of malaria cases in Lishui City, Zhejiang Province from 2012 to 2023, so as to provide a basis for improving malaria prevention and control measures. Methods: Case data of malaria in Lishui City from 2012 to 2023 were collected from the Parasitic Disease Control Information Management System of the National Information System for Disease Control and Prevention in China. The parasite species, source of infection, temporal distribution, population distribution, geographical distribution, and clinical diagnosis and treatment of the cases were descriptively analyzed. Results: A total of 169 malaria cases were reported in Lishui City from 2012 to 2023, and P. falciparum malaria was the main type, accounting for 79.88% (135 cases). The positive rate of Plasmodium detection was 3.30‰(169/51 212), the highest was 5.41‰ (18/3 327) in 2017, and the lowest was 0.38‰ (1/2 632) in 2021. Malaria cases were reported in every month from 2012 to 2023, with 91 cases (53.85%) reported from May to October. There were 168 imported cases, of which 163 (96.45%) originated from Africa. There were 127 male cases (75.15%), and the majority of cases were aged 20 to 49 years, with 138 cases accounting for 81.65%. The majority of the occupation was overseas labor export workers, with 164 cases accounting for 97.04%. A total of 161 cases (95.27%) were registered residents of Lishui City, and cases were reported from all nine counties (cities, districts), with Qingtian County and Liandu District having the higher numbers of 98 and 41 cases, respectively. The median interval from onset to hospital visit for malaria cases was 2.00 (interquartile range, 4.00) days, and the median interval from hospital visit to diagnosis was 0 (interquartile range, 1.00) day. The diagnostic rate of first-diagnosed malaria cases in municipal and county medical institutions was 95.90% (117/122) and 91.49% (43/47), respectively, with no statistical significance (P>0.05). Conclusions The P. falciparum malaria was the predominant type in Lishui City from 2012 to 2023, with the majority of cases being imported. Male overseas labor export personnel aged 20 to <50 were the key demographic.

The wind, phlegm, and blood stasis are important pathogenic factors of cough variant asthma in children, and they are also the pathological products in the occurrence and development of this disease. They have typical pathogenic characteristics. The main pathogenesis characteristics of cough caused by wind, phlegm and blood stasis are as follows that external wind attacks the lungs and induces internal wind, phlegm and dampness accumulates in the lungs, and the lungs fail to declare and descend, and blood stasis obstructs the collaterals and stagnation of Qi. The wind, phlegm, and blood stasis have their own pathogenic characteristics, and their cough-causing also have their own pathogenic characteristics and clinical characteristics. Based on the characteristics of wind, phlegm, and blood stasis, the application of medicine based on the differentiation of symptoms and signs can effectively prevent and treat this disease, and provide theoretical basis and treatment ideas for the treatment of cough variant asthma in children with Chinese medicine.

Objective To explore the correlation between depressive symptoms and frailty,in order to provide evidence for prevention and relief of depressive symptoms in elderly inpatients.Methods A cross-sectional survey and comprehensive geriatric assessment(CGA)were conducted with 248 eligible elderly inpatients from December 2015 to February 2017 in our hospital.Depressive symptoms were assessed by the 5-Item Geriatric Depression Scale(GDS-5),and frailty was identified by the frailty phenotype method.Results In all respondents,50 (20.2 ％)patients showed depressive symptoms,93(37.5 ％)patients had pre-frailty and 39 (15.7 ％)patients had frailty.Correlation analysis showed that frailty degree,low grip strength,slow gait speed,low physical activity,fatigue,and weakness were all positively correlated with depressive symptoms in elderly inpatients (r =0.441,0.315,0.426,0.316,0.395 and 0.151,respectively,P ＜ 0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that patients who had more severe frailty faced a much higher risk of developing depressive symptoms (OR=2.608,P＜0.05).Of the 5 indicators of frailty,slow gait speed and frailty also increased the risk of having depressive symptoms (OR =2.801 and 3.484,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Frailty degree,gait speed and fatigue are associated with increased risk of depression in the elderly.Depressive symptoms can be reduced in elderly inpatients with prevention and intervention of pre-frailty and frailty.

Objective To investigate the clinical applications of goal-directed fluid therapy for pancreatoduodenectomy. Methods A total of 40 patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy under general anesthesia were randomly divided into two groups, G and C, with 20 cases in each group. Goal-directed fluid therapy was used in Group G, whereas conventional fluid therapy was used in group C. The intraoperative hemodynamics, liquid management, duration of the first postoperative gastrointestinal ventilation, postoperative renal function, serum lactate, and the incidence of postoperative complications were recorded. Results Compared with group C, the CI increased and SVV decreased (P ＜ 0.05) at T3 to T5, and MAP increased at T4 to T5 (P ＜ 0.05). The amount of fluid infusion and total infusion in group G were less than that of group C (P ＜ 0.05), and the number of vasoactive drugs was greater than that of group C (P ＜ 0.05). The duration of the first postoperative gastrointestinal ventilation in group G was shorter than that of group C (P ＜ 0.05). There were no significant differences between the 2 groups for the incidence of serum lactate, BUN, Cr, and the incidence of postoperative complications (P＞ 0.05).Conclusion For major complex operations, such as pancreaticoduodenectomy, goal-directed fluid therapy can guide intraoperative fluid therapy more accurately with individual optimizations, and has more advantages in maintaining intraoperative hemodynamics stability and improving postoperative outcome.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacy and safety of the bladder training in male patients before urinary catheter removal after mid-low rectal cancer surgery. METHODS: This was a prospective, open, randomized controlled study. INCLUSION CRITERIA: male patients; pathologically diagnosed as mid-low rectal adenocarcinoma; distance from tumor lower edge to anal margin ≤10 cm; standard radical surgery for rectal cancer, including intestinal resection and regional lymph node dissection. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: previous history of benign prostatic hyperplasia or history of prostate surgery; bladder dysfunction such as dysuria and urinary retention before surgery; local resection of rectal tumor or extended resection. According to the above criteria, 92 patients who underwent colorectal surgery at the Union Hospital of Fujian Medical University from June to December 2016 were prospectively included. The patients were randomly divided into bladder training group (n=43) and bladder non-training group (n=49) according to the random number table method. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Union Hospital of Fujian Medical University (ethical approval number: 2016KY005) and registered with the China Clinical Trial Registration Center (ChiCTR) (registration No.ChiCTR-IOR-16007995). The implementation of patient's treatment measures, the data collection and analysis were based on the three-blind principle, using envelopes for distribution concealment. In the bladder training group, bladder training was routinely performed from the first day after operation to catheter removal, and in bladder non-training group the catheter was kept open till its removal. The catheter was removed in the early morning at the 5th day after surgery, and the spontaneous urine output was recorded and the residual urine volume of the bladder was measured after the first urination. The international prostate symptom score (IPSS) was applied to evaluate the patient's urinary function before and after surgery. RESULTS: The age of whole group was (58.6±10.9) years old, the body mass index was (22.4±2.7) kg/m , and the distance from tumor lower edge to anal margin was (6.5±1.9) cm. The baseline data, such as age, body mass index, distance from tumor lower edge to anal margin, preoperative IPSS score, preoperative bladder residual urine volume, neoadjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy, preventive ileostomy and surgical procedure were not significantly different between two groups (all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in IPSS scores evaluated at the second day (3.6±4.0 vs. 3.5±3.4, t=0.128, P=0.899) and one month (3.7±2.9 vs. 3.0±3.1, t=1.113, P=0.269) after catheter removal between the bladder training group and bladder non-training group. No significant difference in the postoperative residual urine volume of bladder (media 44 ml vs. 24 ml, Z=-1.466, P=0.143), the first spontaneous urination volume (median 200 ml vs. 150 ml, Z=-1.228, P=0.219) after catheter removal, and postoperative hospital stay [(8.2±4.5) days vs. (9.1±5.5) days, t=-0.805, P=0.423] was found. Urinary infection rate was 20.9%(9/43) in the training group, which was even higher than 8.2%(4/49) in the non-training group, but the difference was not significant(χ²=3.077, P=0.079). No patient needed re-catheterization in either group. CONCLUSIONS The routine bladder training after mid-low rectal cancer surgery does not improve the urinary function, and can not reduce the residual urine volume of bladder after catheter removal. This routine clinical practice is not helpful for the bladder function recovery after rectal cancer surgery.

The control group received the routine nursing , and the observation group received the early systematic exercise guidance on the basis of routine nursing .The situation of recovery and the incidence rate of postoperative complication were compared between two groups .Results The average length of indwelling stomach tube , exhausting and hospitalization were respectively (1.8 ±0.7)d,(1.1 ±0.4)d,(9.5 ±3.7)d in the observation group, and were (3.7 ±1.8)d,(2.1 ±1.5)d,(16.0 ±7.4)d in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (t=7.63,4.99, 6.10, respectively;P<0.05).The incidence rate of postoperative complication was 4.8%in the observation group, and was 51.7%in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =30.97,P<0.01).Conclusions The early exercise nursing in the patients with colon cancer resection can effectively promote their gastrointestinal function recovery , and significantly improve the quality of life , and shorten the hospital time , and reduce the occurrence of complication .

Objective To explore prevention of cyclosporine A (CsA) combined with Cobalt protoporphyrin (CoPP) against murine graft versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).Methods C57BL/6 (H-2Kb) mice were used as donors and BALB/c (H-2Kd) mice as recipients,which were randomly divided into 4 groups.The mice in total body irradiation group (TBI group) were lethally irradiated and injected intravenously with PBS; The mice in Allo-HSCT group (BS group) were lethally irradiated and injected intravenously with bone marrow cells and spleen cells; The mice in CsA intervention group (CsA group) were injected with CsA intraperitoneally after allo-HSCT; The mice in CsA combine with CoPP intervention group (combination group) received both CsA and CoPP intraperitoneally after alloHSCT.Recipients were monitored for condition,survival rate and weight.The liver,small intestine and skin in the recipients were gained and pathological changes of GVHD were assessed.The kidney was stained with Masson staining dye to observe the tissue fibrosis.The expression levels of renal HO-1 mRNA in the recipients were detected.Results In contrast to BS and CsA groups,GVHD degree in combination group was mild,with less reduction and quick recovery of weight.On the day 30 after HSCT,survival rate in BS group was 36.8％,and that in combination group and CsA group was 69.6％ and 53.5％ respectively (P＜0.05).In comparison with BS and CsA groups,pathological changes in combination group were mild,cellular edema and degeneration degree of the liver,small intestine and skin were slight,and few necrosis and infiltrated inflammatory cells were observed.Tubulointerstitial fibrosis hardly occurred in combination group,but it occurred in CsA group abundantly.As compared with BS group,the expression levels of HO-1 mRNA was increased in combination group,while decreased in CsA group (P＜0.05).Conclusion CsA combined with CoPP enhanced the protective effect of CsA against GVHD,moreover,CoPP could alleviate the side effects of CsA,which might be related with up-regulation of the expression levels of HO-1.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of ABI-1 gene knockdown upon the proliferation and migration of human gastric cancer cell NCI-N87 in vitro. MethodsNCI-N87-ABI-I-ShRNA cell model was successfully constructed and validated by Real-time PCR and Western blot. The cellular morphous and skeleton, proliferative and migrative potents, and also AKT expression were compared between NCI-N87-ABI-1-ShRNA and its parents by immunofluorental staining, CCK-8 assay, transwell chamber and Western blotting.ResultsCCK-8 assay showed there was no significant difference in the proliferation rates at different time points between the NCI-N87-Vector and NCI-N87 cells while the proliferation rates at the time points of 36 and 48 hours of the NCI-N87-ABI-1-ShRNA were significantly lower than the NCI-N87( t =2. 85and 4. 166, P ＜ 0. 05 ). Transwell assay showed that migrated cell number were 66 ± 8, 65 ± 8 and 30 ± 4,respectively, and there was significant difference between the NCI-N87-ABI-1-ShRNA and NCI-N87 cells (t =9. 550,P ＜0. 05). Finally, ABI-1- knock-down altered the cellular morphoos and skeleton of 90％NCI-N87 cells and inhibited p-AKT expression.ConclusionABI-1 inhibits proliferation and migration of NCI-N87 cells in vitro probably by PI3K/AKT pathway.

Objective To explore the influence of the lentiviral vectors mediated mouse genetic engineering regulatory T cells(Tr) infused after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation(allo-BMT) on graft-versushost disease(GVHD) in mice. Methods Lentivirus-mediated expression of forkhead box P3 (Foxp3) converted CD4 + CD25 - T cells from BALB/c mice into engineered Tr in vitro. An allo-BMT model of BALB/c→C57BL/6 mice was established. After irradiation, the recipients were injected with donor cells along with genetic engineering Tr. Survival time, histopathological analysis, serum levels of inflammatory cytokines were observed after allo-BMT. Results The mean survival times in radiation group, transplantation control group, engineering Tr group and empty vector control group were ( 8.8 ± 0.6 ) d, ( 36.7 ± 2.5 ) d, ( 51.6 ± 4.0 ) d and ( 34.1 ± 2. 3 ) d. The survival time in engineering Tr group was significantly increased as compared to other groups as judged by the log-rank test ( P ＜0.05 ). Histopathological analysis in several target organs( skin, liver and small intestine) confirmed the presence of severe GVHD in transplantation control group and empty vector control group. No histological signs of GVHD were observed in recipients in engineering Tr group. The serum levels of IFN-γ, IL-2 and TNF-α were all increased after transplantation in above groups. The peaks of concentrations of IFN-γ, IL-2 and TNF-α in engineering Tr group were significantly decreased compared to transplantation control group and empty vector control group at day 21 ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusion Co-injection of genetic engineering Tr can efficiently prevent recipients from lethal GVHD during allo-BMT in mice by reducing the serum levels of inflammatory cytokines.
