ABSTRACT
In this study,we analyzed the data of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and host animals monitoring in Zhangzhou City,Fujian Province,China,2006-2015,in order to find out the epidemic situation and risk factors,and provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control strategy.A total of 171 HFRS cases,including 1 death,were reported in Zhangzhou in this decade.The incidence rate of 0.352/105 showed an upward trend (xtrend2 =58.60,P＜0.01).And 70 villages and towns in 11 counties have affected,accounting for 56.00％ of the counties in Zhangzhou City.The cases were mainly reported in some towns of Huaan,Nanjing and Zhaoan countries.The cases mainly occurred in countryside,which reported 142 cases.The cases in farmers accounted for the highest proportion (79.58 ％),and pig farming staff accounting for 23.01％ in farmer cases.Most cases were reported in municipal hospitals (86.55 ％).The common clinical manifestations of those cases were fever,nausea,vomiting,backache,headache,pain,oliguria or anuria,eyelid edema and so on,with 72.67％ of thrombocytopenia and of 83.09 ％ proteinuria positive.Compared with the proportion (80.49 ％) of mice in patients' house from 2006 to 2010,that (45.83％) from 2011 to 2015 decreased obviously;however,the proportion of mice or mice droppings in workplaces were rising from 60.98％ to 73.33％.Mean rodent density was 6.40％ and total infection rate in rats was 7.42％.The main kind of rats with virus infection was Rattus norvegicus,carrying Seoul virus Ⅱ.Results of this study indicate that Zhangzhou is one of the foci of HFRS rodent,and the epidemic is rising in recent years,the overall in the highly distributed,while some counties showed a rising trend year by year.Thus,monitoring and control efforts in prone areas should be increased,and to carry out clinics training of HFRS in primary health care institutions.
ABSTRACT
Daily dietary intakes of nitrate, nitrite and vitamin C were investigated in Chanle county, Fujian province, where gastric cancer was very common, with a marked geographic variation in mortality. The average daily intake of nitrate of residents in Zhanggang village (high risk area) was 132.75 mg, which was significantly higher than that (84.65 mg) in Shouzhan village (moderate risk area), but similar to that (113.12 mg) in Meihua village (low risk area). However, nitrite intake in Zhanggang village was greatly higher than that in Shouzhan and Meihua villages (3.36 mg vs 0.21 and 0.37 mg, respectively). The average daily intake of vitamin C in Shouzhan village was 56.37 mg, significantly lower than that in Zhanggang village (123.09 mg) and in Meihua village (105.90 mg). The molar ratio of vitamin C intake to nitrite in the three villages was 3.22, 3.30 and 4.33, respectively. It was invesely associated with the mortality of gastric cancer. The results suggested that nitrate and nitrite might be etiological factors of gastric cancer in the county.
