ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of schistosomiasis control in Mianyang City in ten years after Wenchuan earth-quake, so as to provide the experiences for schistosomiasis control post-disaster. Methods The data of implementation of schistosomiasis control work in ten years after the Wenchuan earthquake were collected and analyzed for the epidemic situation of schistosomiasis in Mianyang City. Meanwhile, the awareness situation on schistosomiasis control of villagers and students was investigated by questionnaires in 2008 and 2015. Results All of the 6 counties (cities, districts) with schistosomiasis endemic in Mianyang City were hit by the earthquake disaster. After the disaster, the measurements including the conventional schistosomiasis control measures, the control of exogenous infection sources, the control of Oncomelania hupensis snails, and health education were carried out. The relevant departments of schistosomiasis control were cooperated to implement the prevention and control measures. The schistosomiasis prevalence of population and the snail condition rose in the year of the earthquake, but then declined year by year. In 2015, the awareness rates of schistosomiasis control of both villagers and the students were significantly improved compared with those in 2008. Conclusion The measures of schistosomiasis control after the earthquake disaster are effective in Mianyang City, and the goal to prevent major plague after the earthquake is achieved.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: With the disadvantages of lumbar fusion surgery complications and adjacent vertebral degeneration aggravating against the normal lumbar biomechanical characteristics, lumbar dynamic fixation technology in line with the normal lumbar biomechanics emerges as the times require. Lumbar interspinous distraction system as a representative of lumbar dynamic fixation technique has attracted extensive attentions of the field of spine surgery. OBJECTIVE: To review the current research progress of lumbar interspinous distraction system. METHODS: The first author retrieved in CNKI database and Wanfang database with the key words of "lumbar interspinous distraction device, interspinous distraction system, biomechanics, clinical application, lumbar interspinous distraction system complications", and searched PubMed database and SpringerLink database with the key words of "lumbar spine, interspinous process implant, interspinous devices, biomechanics, clinical application, postoperative complications". Recent studies were included after excluding the repeated studies. Finally, 55 studies were included, with 45 English studies and 10 Chinese studies. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Lumbar distraction system core design concept was for expanding the interspinous space in the responsible segment and limiting their activities, which increases the spinal canal and foramen area, reduces intervertebral pressure, relieves nerve compression, can recover segmental stability to a certain degree, but does not significantly impact the motion range of adjacent segments. Simultaneously, it effectively avoids mechanical stimulation to the spinal cord and nerve root by opening the vertebral canal, replaces adjacent segments applied to the responsible section or combined application to fusion segments, and improves clinical symptoms and prevents the occurrence of adjacent vertebra disease. (2) Lumbar interspinous distraction device can effectively reduce stress load of intervertebral disc and small articular process, and maintain motion range of the corresponding segment. However, stress of the implant itself and upper and lower spinous process of the treated segments increases, warning that there is an increased risk of fracture of spinous process and fatigue fracture of the implant. (3) All kinds of lumbar interspinous distraction device have good clinical effect in short and medium follow-up. (4) The clinical curative effect of the distraction device can be comparable to spine fusion surgery. It is operated under local anesthesia, has small trauma, short operation time, quick recovery, short hospitalization time, less complications after surgery, retains lumbar motion range and prevents adjacent vertebral disease. Nevertheless, the device has some disadvantages, such as high medical cost, high revision rate, and inaccurate clinical effect.
ABSTRACT
To study the impact of the enterovirus 71(EV71) on the nuclear transport mechanism,The pGFP-NLS vector with nuclear location signal(NLS) was constructed, RD cells transfected by the pGFP-NLS vector were inoculated with the EV71 or cotransfected by EV71-2A vector. The results showed that GFP protein with NLS was expressed in the cytoplasm due to the inhibition of nuclear transport. In order to further study the mechanism of the EV71 to prevent nuclear transport,Nup62 was detected by Western blotting after RD cells were infected with EV71 or transfected by EV71-2A vector. The results showed that decreased expression of Nup62 could be detected after infection with EV71 and transfection by EV71-2A vector. This study demonstrates that the cleavage of Nup62 by EV71 2A protease may be the mechanism of nuclear transport inhibition.
