The goal of achieving elimination of schistosomiasis across all endemic counties in China by 2030 was proposed in the Outline of the Healthy China 2030 Plan. On June 16, 2023, the Action Plan to Accelerate the Elimination of Schistosomiasis in China (2023—2030) was jointly issued by National Disease Control and Prevention Administration and other 10 ministries, which deployed the targets and key tasks of the national schistosomiasis elimination programme in China. This article describes the progress of the national schistosomiasis control programme, analyzes the opportunities to eliminate schistosomiasis, and proposes targeted recommendations to tackle the challenges of schistosomiasis elimination, so as to accelerate the process towards schistosomiasis elimination and facilitate the building of a healthy China.

Influence of Xin'an River water conservancy project on epidemic of schistosomiasis in the Qiandao Lake reservoir area / 中华地方病学杂志

Objective To study epidemic of schistosomiasis in the Qiandao Lake reservoir area,and to provide a reference for prevention and control of schistosomiasis in the construction of large water conservancy projects in the epidemic area of schistosomiasis.Methods The data over the years of snail condition and monitoring of schistosomiasis before and after building the dam,and water conservancy project reconstruction related information were collected.Based on the survey results of the river channel,the lake beach and the dissipation zone in the reservoir area,the influence of Xin'an River water conservancy project on epidemic of schistosomiasis in the Qiandao Lake reservoir area was analyzed,and the epidemic factors of the schistosomiasis in the Three Gorges reservoir were compared and analyzed.Results Before the dam was built,an area of 38 144 000 m2 was examined but Oncomelania was undetected.The Qiandao Lake reservoir area belonged to a non epidemic area of schistosomiasis.After the dam was built,557 cases of schistosomiasis were found in 6 232 immigrants during 1962-1965,resulting in an imported epidemic.In 1970-1980,an area of 379 654 m2 in which Oncomelania was found was examined and snails were mainly distributed in some rice fields and ditches in the end of the reservoir.949 cases of local schistosomiasis were found in the snails.The condition and condition of the snail are gradually controlled through several decades of comprehensive prevention and control.Compared with the epidemic factors of schistosomiasis in Qiandao Lake and the Three Gorges reservoir,the environment of elevation beach and ecologically fragile fluctuation zone coexist in the two reservoir areas.Conclusion From the long-term longitudinal monitoring data of the Qiandao Lake reservoir area and the epidemic regularity of schistosomiasis and the comparison with the ecology of the Three Gorges reservoir,it is concluded that the two reservoir areas will not cause a large range of schistosomiasis epidemic in general,but it does not exclude the possibility of the breeding of the inputting Oncomelania.

Playing the guiding roles of national criteria and precisely eliminating schis-tosomiasis in P. R. China / 中国血吸虫病防治杂志

Schistosomiasis Control and Elimination(GB 15976-2015)and Diagnostic Criteria for Schistosomiasis(WS 261-2006)are the only two national health criteria related to schistosomiasis control program implemented in P. R. China. The roles of criteria to guide and accelerate the transition from schistosomiasis control to elimination are concluded ,based on this system?atic review how the criteria led the implementation of the medium?and long?term national plan and provided the guidance when drafting the thirteen?five years national plan for schistosomiasis,and the suggestion to draft more criteria related to schistosomia?sis elimination program and strengthening the implementation of current criteria,so as to precisely guide the schistosomiasis elimination program in P. R. China.

Observation on the Effect of Lidocaine Treated in Three Different Ways on the Prevention of General Anesthesia in the Elderly Patients / 现代生物医学进展

Objective:To compare the three effects of lidocaine in the prevention of general anesthesia in elderly patients.Methods:A total of 120 elderly patients (65-85 years old) underwent anesthesia with general anesthesia (ASA) Ⅰ ～ Ⅱ were randomly divided into thyrocricocentesis group (group H),throat surface anesthesia group (Group Y),intravenous injection group (group J) and control group (group D).Group H was injected with lidocaine for surface anesthesia;group Y used laryngeal spray for laryngeal sprayed lidocaine for surface anesthesia;group J was anesthetized induction of intravenous lidocaine to prevent intubation reaction;group D the control group was not treated with lidocaine.(SBP) and heart rate (HR) were measured before and after induction (T0),tracheal intubation (T1) and 1 (T2),3 (T3) and 5 min (T4),the changes of hemodynamics related indexes were compared.Results:Compared with the same group of T0,the SBP and HR of four groups of T1 moments were significantly decreased (P ＜0.05);In the other three groups,SBP was significantly increased at T2 and T3 (P ＜0.05),HR ofT2 was significantly increased (P ＜0.05);Compared with group D,SBP and HR in group H,Y and J were significantly different at T2,T3 and T4,he difference was statistically significant (P ＜0.05);but there was no statistically significant difference between the three groups (P＞ 0.05).Conclusion:The three ways of lidocaine can be used to prevent the general anesthesia reaction in elderly patients,the effect of three ways is parallel.However,cricothyroid membrane puncture increased the patient's pain,throat spray method increased the cumbersome operation and enhanced the cost of the patient,and intravenous injection method is simple and worthy of popularization and application in clinic.

The evidences for formulation of schistosomiasis control and elimination cri-teria:results from a large scale of retrospective investigations / 中国血吸虫病防治杂志

In this study,we summarized the results from the retrospective investigation on endemic situation of schistosomia-sis that was implemented in nine provinces(autonomous region),China in 2009,demonstrated the role of these retrospective in-vestigations in accelerating the progress of schistosomiasis control in China,and clarified the great significance of the investiga-tion for summarizing the experiences for the control of schistosomiasis,and analyzing the changing patterns and affecting factors of endemic status of schistosomiasis in China. In addition,these retrospective investigations provide reliable evidence for revis-ing the Criteria of Schistosomiasis Control and Elimination,and for the more accurate and scientific assessment of the effec-tiveness of schistosomiasis control in China.

Retrospective investigation for endemic situation of schistosomiasis in Zheji-ang Province / 中国血吸虫病防治杂志

Objective To analyze the changing rules of schistosomiasis endemic situation before and after reaching the crite-ria of schistosomiasis transmission controlled or transmission interrupted in Zhejiang Province,so as to provide scientific evi-dence for schistosomiasis contro1. Methods Xiuzhou District and Zhuji City were selected and investigated retrospectively to collect schistosomiasis epidemiological information 10 years before they reached the criteria of transmission controlled and the subsequent years until 2008. The database of retrospective investigation was established for analyzing the trends and rules of changes of Oncomelania hupensis snail status and schistosome infection status of cattle and human. Results The snail status and schistosome infection kept a steady declining before reaching the criteria of transmission controlled ,and there were positive correlations between the area of living snails and the infection rates of human and animal in two places(rhuman=0.764,P<0.01, rcatl e=0.709,P<0.01;rhuma=0.775,P<0.01,rcatl e=0.676,P<0.01);No local infection person and animal except residual snails, and found 7 cases of imported infection source were found after reaching the transmission interruption. Conclusion The epi-demic status of schistosomiasis in zhejiang is stable after reaching the criteria of transmission interruption ,and residual snail are easy to re-found and spread under some certain conditions,and some imported cases were found sometimes,which may in-crease the risks for re - emergence of schistosomiasis. The integrated solidification strategy with emphasis on control of residu-al snails and imported cases should be taken in the areas of transmission interruption in the future.

Sampling survey on the prevalence of schistosomiasis among floating population in Zhejiang province / 中华临床感染病杂志

Objective To survey on the prevalence of schistosomiasis among floating population in Zhejiang province. Methods A survey on prevalence of schistosomiasis among floating population was conducted from September to November 2008, and the stratified cluster sampling method was adopted in the survey. Totally 129 villages of 19 counties or districts were selected as survey sites, and 100 samples of migrants aged 6 to 65 from schistosomiasis-endemic areas were taken in each selected village. All selected individuals were surveyed by questionnaire and underwent serum indirect hemagglutination (IHA) test. For individuals with positive serum IHA testing the fecal examination was carried out to detect the eggs by nylon sedimentation method. SPSS 13.0 software was used for data processing. Results The number of migrants in survey sites was 3 357 420, among whom 303 219 were from schistosomiasis-endemic areas (9.03%).The positive rate in serum IHA test was 2.06% (286/13 898), 276 IHA-positives individuals received fecal examination, and 7 cases were positive (2.52%). Based on above data it was estimated that there would be potentially about 33 500 serum IHA-positive cases and 845 egg-positive cases among floating population in Zhejiang province. Conclusion The risk of schistosomiasis transmission still exists in Zhejiang province due to the infected migrants from endemic areas, and a surveillance system and quick response are required for prevention of re-emergence of the disease.

Mollusicidal effect and toxicity to fish with META-Li in field / 中国血吸虫病防治杂志

The mollusicidal effect and toxicity to fish with META-Li in field were tested in mountain areas in Zhejiang Province. The snail control test, which had 3 groups including a META-Li group, niclosamide group and control group, were performed by the spraying method. The adjusted mortalities of snails in the META-Li group on the 3rd, 7th and 15th day were 89.76% , 87.98% and 94.10% , respectively, in the niclosamide group were 89.70% , 83.22% and 94.72% , respectively .and there was no significant difference between the two groups ( P > 0.05), but they were decreased obviously compared with the control group, which were 9.24% , 9.50% and 15.21% , respectively(P <0.05). The toxicity test to fish with META-Li included 3 groups, namely a high concentration META-Li group, low concentration META-Li group and control group, and none fish was dead. It is suggested META-Li has low toxicity to fish, and is suitable to snail control in aquiculture areas.
