ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the monitoring results on plague in Meriones unguiculatus plague natural foci in Inner Mongolia from 2010 to 2014,to master the epidemic dynamics of the plague and to provide a basis for developing countermeasures.Methods The plague monitoring data in Meriones unguiculatus plague natural foci from 2010 to 2014 were collected;main host density,rate of dye fleas,flea body index and bacteriology were counted;serology detection was done and the epidemic situation was analyzed.Isolation and identification of Yersinia pestis were carried out through a 4-step test (microscopic examination,isolation and culture,phage lysis test and animal experiment).Serum samples were tested by indirect hemagglutination test.Results Within 5 years,21689 Meriones unguiculatus were captured overlap monitored areas of 7116 hm2 totally,the average rat density was 3.05/hm2;other small rodents were clipped 144352 times,3947 mice were captured,capture rate was 2.73％.Totally 26500 Meriones unguiculatus were checked,91 Meriones unguiculatus were infected with epidemic diseases,227 of 59 groups positive fleas were checked from cultured 51262 fleas of 13268 groups.Totally 5426 serum samples of Meriones unguiculatus were checked,5 copies were found positive,the positive rate was 0.09％.Conclusions Inner Mongolia Meriones unguiculatus plague is still active and spreading.We must enhance propaganda of the plague.Surveillance and emergency management should be strengthened to prevent a outbreak of the plague in human being.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analysis the plague monitoring results on plague of rats in Lasiopodomys brandti plague natural foci of Xilin Gol Plateau in Inner Mongolia from 2001 to 2013,to master the dynamics of the plague epidemic,and to provide a basis for developing countermeasures.Methods Plague monitoring data from 2001 to 2013 in Lasiopodomys brandti plague natural foci were collected,main host density,rate of dye fleas,flea body index,bacteriology,serology and epidemic situation were studied.Results Within 13 years,10 153 Lasiopodomys brandti were captured overlapping a monitored area of 2 919.25 hm2,the average rat density was 3.48/hm2;other small rodents were captured 43 632 times,and 1 631 mice were captured,capture rate was 3.74％.Totally 22 752 host animals were checked by etiology,104 animals were infected with epidemic diseases,79 fleas of 31 groups positive fleas were checked from cultured 27 702 fleas of 6 437 groups.Totally 2 237 serum samples of Lasiopodomys brandti were checked using indirect hemagglutination (IHA),2 copies were found positive,the positive rate was 0.09％.Conclusion In Lasiopodomys brandti plague natural foci of Inner Mongolia,the plague bacteria infected host animals are still existed,future outbreak is possible;the monitoring and health education should be strengthened,in order to prevent the plague spreading to human being.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of combined use of traditional Chinese and Western medicine for chronic pelvic inflammatory diseases.Methods By searching in the major databases of CNKI,ISI Web of Knowledge,VIP Information and Pubmed,we collected data of randomized controlled trials pertaining to combined use of traditional Chinese and Western medicine in the treatment of chronic pelvic inflammatory diseases.Results Twenty-five randomized controlled trials involving totally 3081 patients were collected according to the inclusion criteria,and meta-analysis of the data indicated that combined use of traditional Chinese and Western medicine can be of great value in the management of chronic pelvic inflammatory diseases in comparison with exclusive use of Western medicine [combined odds ratio(OR)was 3.20 with 95% confidence interval(CI)(2.74,3.73),Z=14.85,P＜0.01].Conclusion The clinical evidence derived from the analysis suggests that the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine for chronic pelvic inflammatory diseases can be effective with good security.
