ABSTRACT
For investigating the epidemiology and genetic characteristics of enterovirus 71 (EV71) in Fujian from 2010 to 2015,we analyzed the surveillance data of EV71 and sequenced VP1 genes of 72 EV71 strains randomly picked from the past 6 years.The overall infection rate was gradually down and one incidence peak (from May to July) was observed each year.Major infectious population were focused on Xiamen,Fuzhou,Nanping and Quanzhou,the ages ranged from one to three years old.Scattered children were the most infected ones.The proportion of EV71 in the severe case was higher than in the HMFD(χ2 =732.064 5,P＜0.000 1).EV71 circulated from 2010 to 2015 in Fujian Province was belonged to subgenotype C4a in consistent with vaccine strain (H07).Compared with the VP1 of vaccine strains,the divergence of complete VP1 nucleotide sequence was gradually expanding as time distance increased,but the sequence of amino acid was not found obvious difference.Variations in 4 key immune epitopes of amino acid had not appeared a regular pattern in year and not consistent with the trend of proportion of EV71 in HMFD.As a result,we considered the epidemiology characteristics of EV71 in Fujian was obvious,72 strains still belonged to C4a subgenotype and had no outstanding antigenic drift or mutation.Extensive epidemiology surveillance and genetic characteristic are needed for the application of EV71 vaccine.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and spatial distribution of human brucellosis in Fujian province during 2011-2016,and provide evidence for the prevention and control of the disease.Methods The surveillance data of human brucellosis in Fujian during 2011-2016 was analyzed with software R 3.3.1,ArcGIS 10.3.1,GeoDa 1.8.8 and SaTScan 9.4.3.Results During 2011-2016,a total of 319 human brucellosis cases were reported,the incidence increased year by year (F=11.838,P=0.026) with the annual incidence of 0.14/100 000.The male to female rate ratio of the incidence was 2.50 ∶ 1.Farmers and herdsmen accounted for 57.37％.The incidence was 0.40/100 000 in Zhangzhou and 0.32/100 000 in Nanping,which were higher than other areas.The number of affected counties (district) increased from 12 in 2011 to 28 in 2016,showing a significant increase (F=13.447,P=0.021).The Moran' s I of brucellosis in Fujian between January 2011 and December 2016 was 0.045,indicating the presence of a high value or low value clustering areas.Local spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that,high-high clustering area (hot spots) were distributed in Zhangpu,Longhai,Longwen,etc,while high-low clustering areas were distributed in Nan' an and Jiaocheng,etc.Temporal scanning showed that there were three clustering areas in areas with high incidence,the most possible clustering,occurring during January 1,2013-December 31,2015,covered 6 counties,including Yunxiao,Pinghe,Longhai,etc,and Zhangpu was the center,(RR =7.96,LLR=92.62,P＜0.001).Conclusions The epidemic of human brucellosis in Fujian is becoming serious,and has spread to general population and non-epidemic areas.It is necessary to strengthen the prevention and control of human brucellosis in areas at high risk.

ABSTRACT
@#ObjectiveTo study the significance of Double Therapy Treatment Based On Differentiation Of Syndromes on obsession with obsessive thoughts but without compulsive behavior and its suitability in open wards.Methods47 cases were divided into experimental group(24 cases) and control group(23 cases) randomly in open wards. Experimental group was treated by Double Therapy Treatment Based on Differentiation of Syndromes while control group by Cognitive Therapy combined with Chlorimpramine and Fluoxetine etc. The period of treatment was 5 months, in which positive therapy cost 2 months and free therapy cost next 3 months. Y-BOCS was used to value the effect.ResultsThe recovery rate in experimental group was much higher than that of the control group 2 months (χ2=12.44,P<0.01) and 5 months (χ2=18.00,P<0.01)later. There was significant difference in Y-BOCS score between these two groups 2 months (t=7.140,P<0.001) and 5 months (t=8.191,P<0.001)later.ConclusionDouble Therapy Treatment Based On Differention Of Syndromes shows a satisfied curative effect and prognosis on obsession with obsessive thoughts but without compulsive behavior and should be advocated.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:At present,most general hospitals in China treat patients with neurosis and mental diseases merely by means of clinical psychological consultation,which cannot meet the requirements of social service for metal disorders. Is it feasible to establish open psychology wards?OBJECTIVE:To investigate the feasibility of establishing open psychology ward in general hospitals for patients with neurosis and mental diseases.DESIGN:Case analysis based on patients.SETTING:Department of Psychology of Guangdong Medical College Affiliated Hospital.PARTICIPANTS:Totally 900 patients with various types of neurosis were admitted to the Department of Psychology of Guangdong Medical College Affiliated Hospital between July 2000 and March 2003.There were 688 patients with different kinds of psychoneurosis and112 cases of mental diseases. Of them,there were 523 men and 377women aged from 11 to 80 years.with the mean age of (42±8) years and hospitalization duration of(17.0±6.5) days.METHODS:Open management consisting of open ward,supporting system,humanized restriction,collective physical exercise and psychological support was adopted.Symptom checklist (SCL-90) was used by trained psychological doctors to assess the therapeutic effects in the 900 patients with neurosis and mental diseases after two-month rehabilitation.Meanwhile,169 patients with depression were examined with Hamilton rating scale for depression(HAMD) at 2,4,8 weeks of treatment.patients.RESULTS:Open psychology ward could provide an environment for patients to live and make free contact with the outside world. Of the 900patients with various neurosis and metal diseases,531 (59.0%) had recovery to normal,264(29.4%) had obvious improvement,81(9.0%) had improvement,and 24 (2.6%) had no therapeutic effect,with the total effective rate of 97.4% .None of the patients had any accident. HAMD score of the 169 patients with depression was (32.3±3.6) before treatment,was obviously lower at 2,4 and 8 weeks of treatment [(17.4±4.2),(11.5±4.8) and(5.8±3.6),respectively](P ＜ 0.01).CONCLUSION:The therapeutic effect of the open psychology ward in the general hospital on various neuropathies and mental diseases was 97.4% in the 900 cases,with no accident occurring during hospitalization.Depression of the 169 patients was obviously improved,indicating that it isfeasible to establish open psychology ward in general hospitals.
ABSTRACT
@#ObjectiveTo explore the possibility and significance that psychotic patients treated in open wards in general hospital,a new managing model for psychosis cases.Methods1 200 psychotic cases were treated in the open ward,that was a new managing model for psychotic patients.ResultsNew managing model had following advantages: a. free for patients to communicate with outsides and keep their secret and human rights; b. having better effective,shorter housing days,and more economy compared with controlled cases.ConclusionSetting up open managing psychosis wards in general hospital can help treatment of psychotic patients,and it is the tendency of modern mental health.
