RESUMO
To investigate the prevalence of intestinal parasite infections in Yanbian Prefecture, Jilin Province, China, epidemiological surveys were conducted on a collaboration basis between the Korean Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Yanbian Center for Disease Control and Prevention. A total of 8,396 (males 3,737 and females 4,659) stool samples were collected from 8 localities and examined with the formalin-ether sedimentation technique, and additionally examined with the cellotape anal swab to detect Enterobius vermicularis eggs. The overall rate of intestinal parasites was 1.57%. The prevalence of Ascaris lumbricoides was the highest (0.80%), followed by Entamoeba spp. (0.23%), heterophyid flukes (0.15%), Clonorchis sinensis (0.08%), Enterobius vermicularis (0.07%), hookworms (0.06%), Trichostrongylus spp. (0.06%), Giardia lamblia (0.04%), Paragonimus spp. (0.02%), Diphyllobothrium spp. (0.02%), Trichuris trichiura (0.02%). The prevalence by sex was similar, 1.58% (n=59) in males and 1.57% (n=73) in females. By the present study, it is partly revealed that the prevalences of intestinal parasite infections are relatively low among the inhabitants of Yanbian Prefecture, Jilin Province, China.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the chemical constituents of Ehretia thyrsiflora.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Compounds were isolated with silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 and RP-C18 colum chromatography. Their structures were elucidated by means of physico-chemical properties and spectral analysis.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Six compounds were isolated and identified as beta-sitosterol (1), ethyl caffeate (2), 2-methoxyl benzoic acid octyl ester (3), tetradecenoic acid, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester (4), daucoster (5), allantoin (6).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Compounds 1-5 were obtained from this species for the first time. Compounds 2-5 were obtained from the genus Ehretia for the first time.</p>
