[Evaluation of health education of medium- and long-term planning of schistosomiasis prevention and control in Kunshan City].

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of health education on schistosomiasis in Kunshan City, so as to provide the evidence for making the consolidating strategy in the late stage of interruption of schistosomiasis transmission. METHODS: The residents, middle school students and elementary school students were randomly sampled from one community, one middle school and one elementary school of each of two towns and they were investigated with interviews and questionnaires for the implementation of health education on schistosomiasis prevention and control. RESULTS: A total of 452 middle school students (232 cases) and primary school students (220 cases) were surveyed. The awareness rate of total schistosomiasis knowledge was 98.21% among the students (the awareness rate of basic schistosomiasis knowledge was 98.42% and the awareness rate of preventive schistosomiasis knowledge was 98.01%). Among the 220 elementary school students, the awareness rate of total schistosomiasis knowledge was 97.21% (the awareness rate of basic schistosomiasis knowledge was 97.60% and the awareness rate of preventive schistosomiasis knowledge was 96.82%). Among the 232 middle school students, the awareness rate of total schistosomiasis knowledge was 99.17% (χ2 = 34.661, compared with the rate of the elementary school students) [the awareness rate of basic schistosomiasis knowledge was 99.20% (χ2 = 13.045, compared with the rate of the elementary school students) and the awareness rate of preventive schistosomiasis knowledge was 99.14% (χ2 = 21.796, compared with the rate of the elementary school students)]. There were significant differences between the elementary school students and middle school students in above-mentioned awareness rates (all P < 0.001). There were schistosomiasis health education materials or teaching plans in all the four schools. Among the 402 residents surveyed, the awareness rate of total schistosomiasis knowledge was 98.87%. CONCLUSIONS: The effect of health education on schistosomiasis prevention and control is very well, and the total awareness rate of schistosomiasis prevention and control knowledge among the population has reached the goal (more than 95%) of the medium- and long-term planning of schistosomiasis prevention and control in Kunshan City.

CONCLUSION: The developed methods and standard may assure the safety, effectiveness, and controllability of the recombinant human GLP-1 analogue fusion protein, which might be used for the routine quality control of products of the same kind.

Characterization and comparison of interferon reference standards using UPLC-MS / 药学学报

The study aims to characterize and compare interferon reference standards from 5 manufacturers. By testing molecular mass and trypsin-digested peptide mass mapping, the amino acid sequence was verified and post-translational modifications such as disulfide bond were identified. Results show that the molecular mass and amino acid sequence were consistent with theory; the disulfide bonds of 4 lots of interferon were Cys1-Cys98/Cys29-Cys138, 1 lot was Cys29-Cys139/Cys86-Cys99; N-terminal "+Met", acetyl N-terminal and Met oxidation were identified in part of the sample. UPLC-MS can be used to characterize and compare interferon reference standards from different manufacturers.

Quality control of recombinant oncolytic adenovirus/p53 / 药学学报

To establish a detection method of oncolytic adenovirus/p53 and standard of quality control, human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) promoter, CMV fusion promoter containing hypoxia reaction element (HRE) and p53 gene were identified by vector DNA restriction enzyme digestion and PCR analysis. The result conformed that all modified regions were in consistent with theoretical ones. Particle number was 2.0 x 10(11) mL(-1) determined by UV (A260). Infectious titer was 5.0 x 10(10) IU mL(-1) analyzed by TCID50. In vitro p53 gene expression in human lung cancer cell H1299 was determined by ELISA, and A450 ratio of nucleoprotein in virus infection group to control group was 5.2. Antitumor potency was evaluated by cytotoxicity assay using human lung cancer cell A549, and the MOI(IC50) of this gene therapy preparation was 1.0. The tumor cells targeted replication ability of recombinant virus was determined by TCID50 titer ratio of filial generation virus between human lung cancer cell A549 and human diploid epidermal fibrolast BJ cells after infected by virus with same MOI. TCID50 titer ratio of tumor cell infection group to normal cell infection control group was 398. The IE-HPLC purity of virus was 99.5%. There was less than 1 copy of wild type adenovirus within 1 x 10(7) VP recombinant virus. Other quality control items were complied with corresponding requirements in the guidance for human somatic cell therapy and gene therapy and Chinese pharmacopeia volume III. The detection method of oncolytic adenovirus/p53 was successfully established for quality control standard. The study also provided reference for quality control of other oncolytic viral vector products.
