RESUMO
Objective:To analyze the characteristics of malaria epidemic situation before and after malaria elimination in Qiandongnan Prefecture, and to provide the basis for establishment of effective strategies and measures to consolidate the achievements of malaria prevention and control.Methods:The data of malaria cases in 16 counties (cities) of Qiandongnan Prefecture from 2005 to 2018 were collected, and descriptive epidemiological method was used to analyze the infection rate of Plasmodium among local residents and floating population before (2005-2011) and after (2012-2018) elimination of malaria, and the characteristics of population distribution, seasonal distribution, species of Plasmodium and types of malaria vectors were analyzed. Results:Before elimination of malaria, total of 1 412 cases of malaria were reported, among those cases, 1 361 cases were local cases, accounting for 96.39% of the total cases. After elimination of malaria, total of 17 cases were reported, all of them were imported cases. After comparison of malaria cases before and after the elimination, the proportion of people aged from 18 to 60 was 70.54% (996/1 412) before the elimination, all 17 imported cases were 18-60 years old after the elimination, and the proportion of children/students decreased from 24.65% (348/1 412) before the elimination to 0 after the elimination. The peak incidence of malaria cases before the elimination was from June to October, and cases occurred every month. After the elimination, the imported cases were sporadic. Plasmodium vivax was the main species of Plasmodium before the elimination (98.58%, 1 392/1 412), and Plasmodium falciparum was mainly imported after the elimination (70.59%, 12/17). Before and after the elimination, Anopheles sinensis, the malaria vector, was the dominant population, but no distribution of Anopheles minimus and Anopheles anthropophagus was found after 2015. Conclusions:After the elimination of malaria in Qiandongnan Prefecture, there is a risk of local malaria cases caused by imported cases. It is suggested that local authorities should focus on the treatment of suspected malaria cases and vector surveillance of overseas returnees in the future.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf-2),and heme oxidase 1 (HO-1) expression in acute lung injury induced by paraquat poisoning in rats and explore the mechanism of lipoic acid acting on protection of lung from paraquat poisoning.Methods Seventy-two adult healthy male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into three groups with different treatments designated as:control group (control group,n =12),paraquat group (PQ group,n =30) and paraquat + lipoic acid group (LA group,n =30).PQ group and LA group were randomly divided into five subgroups (n =6 in each) according to 6 h,12 h,24 h,48 h and 72 h after modeling and treatment.The rats in PQ group and PQ + LA group were treated with intra-peritoneal injection (ip) of PQ (25 mg/kg),while the rats in control group were treated with the equal volume of saline instead.Half an hours after intra-peritoneal injection of PQ,lipoic acid (100 mg/kg) was injected into caudal vein of rats once a day until they were sacrificed.The body weight was measured everyday.The rats of each group were sacrificed at the given intervals,and lung tissues were harvested to measure lung coefficient of rats.The same part of left lung of rats in each group was taken for HE staining and immunohistochemistry in order to detect the expressions of Nrf2 and HO-1.The right lung of rats in each group was taken for the detection of GSH-Px and SOD activity.All data were analyzed by using the One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and SNK-q test.Results The body weight reduction in LA group (191.02 ± 0.82) g,(183.37 ± 7.74) g was significantly less than that in PQ group (183.85 ± 2.07) g,(173.13 ± 4.34) g at 48 h and 72 h after PQ poisoning,respectively (P ＜ 0.01,P ＜ 0.05).The lung coefficient in LA group (6.83 ± 0.48) mg/g,(7.61 ±0.28) mg/g,(8.29 ±0.36) mg/g was less compared with PQ group (7.39 ±0.53) mg/g,(8.48±0.23) mg/g,(9.06±0.10) mg/g at 24 h,48 h,and 72 h,respectively (P＜0.01,P＜ 0.05).The immunohistochemical expressions of Nrf-2 in LA group (3.99 ±0.50),(3.51 ±0.12) were higher than those in PQ group (1.33 ±0.22),(1.62 ±0.41) at 48 h and 72 h.The immunohistochemical expression of HO-1 in LA group (1.76 ±0.17) was higher than that in PQ group (1.31 ±0.15) at 72 h.The levels of GSH-Px activity in LA group were significantly higher in comparison with PQ group at 24h,48h,and 72h (P ＜0.01,P ＜0.05).The levels of SOD activity in the LA group were significantly higher in comparison with PQ group at 6 h,12 h,24 h,48 h,and 72 h after PQ administration (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions Nrf2-ARE (antioxidant response element) signaling pathway is involved in the pathogenesis of acute lung injury induced by paraquat poisoning,and lipoic acid may protect acute lung injury in rats induced by paraquat poisoning through Nrf2-ARE signaling pathway.
RESUMO
Objective To observe the changes in concentrations of pulmonary surfactant SP-A/B in lung tissue during acute lung injury (ALI) /acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) induced by acute paraquat poisoning (PQP) after the treatment with metabolic antioxidant,lipoic acid,and to explore the potential involvement of TNF-α in ALI/ARDS as well as to discuss the assumed protective mechanisms of lipoic acid against acute lung injury.Methods Sixty-six male Sprage-Dawley rats were randomly (random number) divided into 3 groups,namely control group (NS,n =6),paraquat poisoning group (PQ,n =30),paraquat + lipoic acid treatment group (LA,n =30).Then both group PQ and group LA were further divided separately into five subgroups,namely 3,6,12,24 and 48 h subgroups (n =6 in each subgroup).After rats sacrificed,the lung tissues were selected,and after HE staining,histological changes were observed under light microscope.Histopathological changes were inflammation and fibrosis in models successfully established.The lung tissues were also taken for tests of SOD and MDA levels.Specimens of whole blood 0.8 mL without anticoagulant were taken from tail vein of rats for determining the TNF-α level.The expressions of SP-A mRNA and SP-B mRNA were measured with RT-PCR from total RNA of the lung tissue.Results ① HE staining showed that the histopathological changes were milder in LA group than that in PQ group.② There were significant differences in MDA and SOD levels between different intervals both in intergroups and intragroup except the groups of 3 hours (P ＜ 0.01).③ Likewise,the significant differences in the levels of TNF-α were also present between three groups and between different intervals (P＜0.01).④ The significant differences in SP-A mRNA and SP-B mRNA amplification ratio existed between three groups at the same interval (P ＜ 0.01),but those differences between different intervals in group PQ were of statistical significance (P ＜ 0.05).And those differences between diffirent intervals in group LA were statistically significant (P ＜0.01).Conclusions Lipoic acid in acute paraquat poisoning could lessen lung tissue damage,which might be directly dominated by the levels of tumor necrosis factor,and in turn indirectly affect the content of pulmonary surfactant,thereby reducing pulmonary edema and improving lung compliance,then protecting the lung tissues.
RESUMO
With wide application of medical consumables, inventory management of medical consumables has important significance. The principle and two specific methods for keeping inventory level are introduced to give specific requirements of stock materials keeping and quality management. How to set up scientific management processes is more discussed in order to protect the work development of clinical medical care in health and safety in related crow, such as patient and user, and improve the efficiency and reduce labor intensity of care, so that the quality of medical care can reach to a new level.
