ABSTRACT
Objective To grasp the endemic situation of schistosomiasis in Jingzhou City in 2017, so as to provide the evidence for formulating prevention strategies. Methods According to the requirements of National Schistosomiasis Surveillance Program (2014), Hubei Schistosomiasis Surveillance Program (2015) and Jingzhou Schistosomiasis Surveillance Program, the local population infection monitoring, mobile population infection monitoring, livestock disease monitoring, snail monitoring, and wild manure monitoring were carried out at 71 monitoring sites throughout the city. Results Among the 71 surveillance sites, 44 118 local residents received the indirect hemagglutination test (IHA) for schistosomiasis and 1 925 persons were positive, with the positive rate of 4.36%, However, no stool examination positive cases were found. Totally 2 175 mobile people received the IHA for schistosomiasis and 93 persons were positive, with the positive rate of 4.28%, but no stool examination positive cases were found. A total of 1 937 head of cattle received the stool examination for schistosome infection, but no positives were found. Totally 1 302 Oncomelania hupensis habitats were found in 69 surveillance sites, with 1 923.64 hm2 area with snails. Totally 348 756 frames were surveyed, and the occurrence rate of snails was 17.19%. A total of 142 494 living snails were captured, with the average density of 0.41 snail/0.1 m2. No schistosome-infected snails were found. Totally 596 cases of wild manure were picked up in 41 environments with snails among 23 surveillance sites, but schistosome infested wild manure was not found. Conclusions In 2017, the level of schistosomiasis epidemic was very low in Jingzhou City. However, the risk of epidemic rebound still exists, and therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the monitoring work to further consolidate the achievements of schistosomiasis control.

ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>Through the observation, analysis, and treatment to lots of clinical patients with unusual feeling symptom of pharynx (UFSP), followed by the functional examination of autonomic nerve, putting forward the clinical classify and therapy of UFSP.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Through the clinical history inquired, routine examination, 24 hours pH value determined of esophagus, erect experiment, and coefficient of variation of the R-R(CVR-R) examination of electrocardiogram etc, divided the UFSP into two types: the type of pathogeny clear and the type of pathogeny unclear. The clear-type was further classified into five subtypes: the type of a mental scar, the type of morbid state of mind, the type of reflux esophagitis, the type of climacteric syndrome and menstrual disorder, and the type of functional disturbance of independence nerve.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In the cases of 256, 106 were cured,76 were positive effective, 41 were effective, with total effective rate of 87.1%. Thirty three (12.9%) cases were not cured. Forty six (18.0%) of them with the type of a mental scar were whole cured. One hundred and thirty six (53.1%) of them with the type of morbid state of mind had a 93.4% (127) effective rate. Twenty one (8.2%) of them with the type of reflux esophagitis had 71.4% (15) effective rate. Among 35 (13.7%) cases of climacteric syndrome and menstrual disorder type, 29 cases were cured with a 82.9% effective rate. Twelve (4.7%) cases of the type of functional disturbance of independence nerve had 50% effective rate. Six (2.3%) cases of the pathogeny unclear type'were not cured.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>UFSP could be clinical classified and treated followed the detail inquiry of medical history and relative examination.</p>
