Objective To analyze the main factors influencing the management effect of rural epilepsy prevention and control projects in Hubei Province, and to provide reference for further improving the management effect. Methods According to the phenobarbital treatment and management plan of the rural epilepsy project, the target population was screened and reviewed, and patients who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled into the project management. Regular follow-up visits, free drug treatment, health education and other measures were carried out, and all relevant information was collected and integrated into the survey data. After the data was reviewed level by level, SPSS20.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results From January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2020, among patients treated and managed with phenobarbital in 6 project counties, 1430 patients were treated and managed for more than 1 year, of whom 1119 (78.25%) had no seizures or had more than 75% reduction in the number of seizures during the observation period. Compared with other age groups, the age group of 65 years and above had the highest markedly effective/effective ratio (95.77%). From the point of follow-up, the markedly effective/effective ratio of 5 years and above was the highest (91.51%). Compared with those who received no treatment prior to enrollment and those who received regular treatment, the patients receiving informal treatment had the lowest markedly effective/effective ratio (82.43%). 1213 cases (84.83%) had good compliance during the observation period, of whom 1062 cases (87.55%) had a reduction in the number of seizures by more than 50% compared with that before treatment. Univariate analysis showed that the age of patients, the length of follow-up, the treatment status before enrollment, the average daily dose of phenobarbital and the compliance of patients all had an impact on the management effect, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the markedly effective/effective rate of patients in the age group of 65 years and above was 6.749 times that of the younger age group. Receiving informal treatment prior to enrollment was a risk factor for difficult-to-control epilepsy. The markedly effective/effective rate of patients receiving informal treatment was 0.29 times that of patients never receiving treatment. Good compliance was a protective factor for epilepsy control, and the markedly effective/effective rate of patients with good compliance was 2.058 times that of patients with poor compliance. Conclusion The epilepsy prevention and management project in rural areas has a significant effect on seizure control. Early treatment, standardized treatment, and improvement of treatment compliance are effective ways to improve the management effect of epilepsy patients.
摘要
Infectious diarrhea is a gastrointestinal infectious disease caused by a wide range of pathogens and found throughout the world. It is one of the most important public health problems in the world and the second leading cause of death among children under five years of age. The pathogens of infectious diarrhea include viral diarrhea pathogens, bacterial diarrhea pathogens, and parasites. Viruses are the most frequent pathogens, mainly including norovirus, rotavirus, astrovirus and sapovirus. The most frequently identified organisms causing bacterial diarrhea are diarrheagenic Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Campylobacter. This paper provides an overview of the epidemiological trends and changes in the pathogen spectrum of infectious diarrhea for better understanding the distribution and epidemiological features of infectious diarrhea in China, and hopes to provide reference for developing prevention and control strategies and reducing the disease burden.

Objective To explore the viral pathogen spectrum characteristics of acute intestinal infection in Hanzhong from 2019 to 2022. Methods Fecal samples from patients with acute intestinal infection in the outpatient clinic of 3201 Hospital from January 2019 to December 2022 were collected. Common enteroviruses such as enterovirus 71 (EV-A71), coxsackievirus 16 (CV-A16), CV-A10, CV-A6, CV-A2, CV-A4, and CV-B3 were detected and analyzed by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. Results A total of 5 194 fecal samples were collected, and the positive rate of nucleic acid detection was 23.95%. In terms of the enteroviruses, the highest detection rate was 9.82% for EV-A71, followed by 4.58% for CV-A16 and 3.37% for CV-A6. The positive detection rate of common enteroviruses showed statistical difference among different age groups (P0.05). EV-A71 infection showed no seasonal characteristics, whereas the detection of CV-A16 and CV-A6 infections was concentrated in summer and autumn. There were 106 cases of mixed infection, and the prevalence rate was 2.04%, with EV-A71 and CV-A6 mixed infections accounting for the majority of cases. Conclusion The main pathogens of acute intestinal infections in the Hanzhong area from 2019 to 2022 are EV-A71, CV-A16, and CV-A6. It is necessary to strengthen the monitoring of acute intestinal infections in children aged 4 years and below.

Objective To understand the etiological characteristics of bacterial diarrhea in different areas,including large cities,mid-sized/small cities and rural area,in China.Methods A cross-sectional surveillance was conducted in 17 provinces of China from 2010 to 2014.The acute diarrhea outpatients were selected from clinics or hospitals in large cities,mid-sized/small cities,including rural-urban fringe zones,and rural areas.The demographical and clinical characteristics of the patients were collected by using questionnaire,and stool samples were taken from them for laboratory detection of 17 kinds of bacteria.The differences in pathogen positive rates (PPR) and pathogen spectrum across the cases from three-type areas were compared.The different infection risk in different cases were analyzed with unconditional logistic regression model.Results In our study,we enrolled 9 253 cases from large cities,5 138 cases from rural areas and 13 683 cases from midsized/small cites.The pathogen with largest differences in infection rate across the three-type areas was Shigella (S.)flexneri (rural area:5.81％,mid-sized/small city:2.78％,large city:0.46％),followed by Aeromonas (A.) hydrophila (rural area:2.14％,mid-sized/small city:0.96％,large city:0.48％).Compared with cases in large cities,the cases in mid-sized/small cities and rural areas had higher infection risks for S.flexneri (mid-sized/small city:OR =6.481,95％CI:4.666-9.002,rural area:OR =11.304,95％ CI:8.018-15.938) and A.hydrophila (mid-sized/small city:OR=1.992,95％ CI:1.401-2.832,rural area:OR=4.083,95％ CI:2.833-5.884).The constituent ratio of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli and Salmonella increased with the urbanization development,while the ratios of Shigella and A.hydrophila had an opposite trend.S.sonnei (60.00％) was the predominant serogroup of Shigella in urban infections,while S.flexneri (77.37％) was the predominant serogroup in rural infections.Conclusion The differences in pathogen spectrum of bacterial diarrhea were obvious across large cities,mid-sized/small cities and rural areas in China,especially the differences in the infection rates of S.flexneri and A.hydrophila.
摘要
Objective@#To understand the epidemiological and etiological characteristics of enterovirus (EV)-associated diseases among children in Beijing from 2010 to 2016.@*Methods@#This was a repeated cross-sectional study. The throat swabs were collected from children with probable EV-associated diseases at the Children' s Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics from 2010 to 2016. The samples were sent for pan-EV, enterovirus 71 (EV-A71) and coxsackievirus A16 (CV-A16) detection by real-time fluorescence reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) . The viral types of non-EV-A71 and non-CV-A16 EV-positive samples were identified using modified RT-PCR and sequencing with CV-A6, EV-A/B group and 5 'UTR universal primers. The constituent ratios of the prevalence of different EV types in different age and gender groups were compared.@*Results@#Of the 2 703 throat swabs, 1 992 (73.7%) samples were positive for EV, including EV-A71 (19.1%, 516/2 703), CV-A16 (24.3%, 658/2 703), CV-A6 (22.2%, 600/2 703), CV-A10 (4.5%, 122/2 703) and other types of EV (3.5%, 95/2 703). There was 1 case of EV-A71 and CV-A16 co-infection. The positive detection rate of EV-A group (excluding EV-A71, CV-A16, CV-A6 and CV-A10) increased from 11.3% (7/62) to 95.2% (59/62) after using the modified VP1-specific primers and PCR amplification conditions. During the period between 2010 and 2012, CV-A16 and EV-A71 predominated in EV-positive samples. However, CV-A6 accounted for 60.7% (68/112) in 2013, much higher than CV-A16 (23.2%, 26/112) and EV-A71 (12.5%, 14/112). In 2014, EVs were mainly of CV-A16 and EV-A71, but CV-A6 was the predominant type in 2015 (68.2%, 232/340) and in 2016 (38.6%, 151/391). The epidemic season of EVs was mostly from April to August, but CV-A6 showed a small epidemic peak from October to November. The male-to-female ratio of EV-positive patients was 1.50∶1, and EV-associated diseases mostly occurred in children under 5 years of age. Younger children were more susceptible to CV-A6 than to EV-A71 and CV-A16.@*Conclusions@#From 2010 to 2016, there was a significant change in the spectrum of EVs in children with EV-associated diseases in Beijing. Since 2013, non-EV-A71 and non-CV-A16 increased, and CV-A6 gradually became one of the major pathogens of EV-associated diseases. The modified PCR primers and amplification conditions can effectively improve the reliability of test results.

Objective: To understand the etiological characteristics of bacterial diarrhea in different areas, including large cities, mid-sized/small cities and rural area, in China. Methods: A cross-sectional surveillance was conducted in 17 provinces of China from 2010 to 2014. The acute diarrhea outpatients were selected from clinics or hospitals in large cities, mid-sized/small cities, including rural-urban fringe zones, and rural areas. The demographical and clinical characteristics of the patients were collected by using questionnaire, and stool samples were taken from them for laboratory detection of 17 kinds of bacteria. The differences in pathogen positive rates (PPR) and pathogen spectrum across the cases from three-type areas were compared. The different infection risk in different cases were analyzed with unconditional logistic regression model. Results: In our study, we enrolled 9 253 cases from large cities, 5 138 cases from rural areas and 13 683 cases from midsized/small cites. The pathogen with largest differences in infection rate across the three-type areas was Shigella (S.) flexneri (rural area: 5.81%, mid-sized/small city: 2.78%, large city: 0.46%), followed by Aeromonas (A.) hydrophila (rural area: 2.14%, mid-sized/small city: 0.96%, large city: 0.48%). Compared with cases in large cities, the cases in mid-sized/small cities and rural areas had higher infection risks for S. flexneri (mid-sized/small city: OR=6.481, 95%CI: 4.666-9.002, rural area: OR=11.304, 95%CI: 8.018-15.938) and A. hydrophila (mid-sized/small city: OR=1.992, 95%CI:1.401-2.832, rural area: OR=4.083, 95%CI: 2.833-5.884). The constituent ratio of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli and Salmonella increased with the urbanization development, while the ratios of Shigella and A. hydrophila had an opposite trend. S. sonnei (60.00%) was the predominant serogroup of Shigella in urban infections, while S. flexneri (77.37%) was the predominant serogroup in rural infections. Conclusion: The differences in pathogen spectrum of bacterial diarrhea were obvious across large cities, mid-sized/small cities and rural areas in China, especially the differences in the infection rates of S. flexneri and A. hydrophila.

Objective To understand the pathogen spectrum and epidemic status of major human parasites in Chenzhou City,Hunan Province,so as to provide the evidence for parasitic diseases control. Methods The survey sites were selected by the stratified cluster sampling method. The intestinal helminthic eggs were detected by Kato?Katz technique. The trophozoites or cysts of intestinal protozoa were detected by saline smear and iodine staining methods. The eggs of Enterubius vermicularis of chil?dren from 3 to 6 years old were detected by the cellophane anal swab method. The species of hookworm were identified by the fil?ter paper strip culture method. Results A total of 7 031 people were detected with the intestinal helminthic infective rate of 1.83%(129 cases). The major parasite was hookworm and there was a statistically significant difference of the infection rates among various parasites(c2=107.77,P<0.01). All the hookworm larvae were Necator americanus. No intestinal protozoon was detected. There were statistically significant differences of the infection rates among the counties(c2=25.77,P<0.01). The age of the patients was mainly focused on 30 and above years old and the infection rate was increased with the growth of age(c2=26.21,P<0.01). Farmers were the main population of the patients and there was a statistically significant difference of the in?fection rates between farmer and others(c2=29.67,P<0.01). Conclusions The infection rates of parasites are low and hook?worm is the main parasite in the pathogen spectrum in Chenzhou City. However,the infection factors still exist,therefore,effec?tive and scientific measures should be taken to consolidate the achievement.

Objective To investigate the infectious status,etiological spectrum and epidemiological characteristics of rotavirus (group A/B/C),calicivirus (novovirus Ⅰ/Ⅱ,sapovirus),astrovirus and enteric adenovirus in diarrhea cases below 5 years old from 2008 to 2015 in Henan provinces.Methods Totally 2541 stool samples were collected from cases below 5 years old in four sentinel hospitals.All stool specimens were tested for group A rotavirus by double antibody sandwich ELISA method.G/P genotyping of group A rotavirus was determined by nested multiplex PCR.Viral RNA was extracted from all samples and rotavirus (group B/C),calicivirus,astrovirus and enteric adenovirus were detected by two-step reverse transcription-polymerase chain reation (RT-PCR)/PCR.Results One thousand four hundred and twenty-one out of 2 541 samples were positive with a total positive rate of 55 .9%,among which,102 were mixed infection.The isolation rate of rotavirus was 36.0% (914 samples)(group A:785 cases,group B:36 cases,group C:93 cases),calicivirus was 12.1 % (308 samples)(novovirus Ⅰ:64 cases,novovirusⅡ:193 cases,sapovirus:51 cases),astrovirus was 5 .9% (151 samples),enteric adenovirus was 1 .9%(48 samples).The group A rotavirus gene type combinations were composed mainly of G9P[8],G2P[4], G3P[8 ],G1P [8 ]and most cases were identified from September to November and March to May. Novovirus Ⅱ was predominant in calicivirus and most cases were identifed between March and May. Rotavirus or calicivirus infection was mainly among children aged 4—12 months or 3—5 years, respectively.Clinical manifestations included fever,diarrhea,vomiting,dehydration.Gender and region distributions differed according to the types of pathogen.Conclusions Group A rotavirus and novovirus Ⅱare the major viral pathogen in diarrhea cases younger than 5 years old in Henan province.Different viral infections exhibit extinct epidemiologic and clinical characteristics.

Objective To analyze pathogen spectrum of intra-abdominal infection in patients in an intensive care unit (ICU).Methods Intra-abdominal infections and pathogens of 1 330 patients who admitted to ICU from January 2012 to March 2013 were analyzed retrospectively.Results 283 patients developed intra-abdominal infection,incidence of infection was 21.28%;133 (47.00%)patients were detected 186 isolates of pathogens,the proportion of gram-negative bacilli, gram-positive cocci,and fungi were 68.82%(n=128),28.49%(n= 53),and 2.69%(n=5)respectively.The major gram-negative bacilli were Escherichia coli ,Acinetobacter baumannii ,and Klebsiella pneumoniae ,the major gram-positive cocci were Enterococcus faecium,Staphylococcus aureus ,and Enterococcus faecalis .The detection rates of pathogens after patients stayed in ICU for ≤2,3-7,8-14,and>14 days were 70.43%(n=131),12.90%(n=24),10.22%(n=19), and 6.45%(n =12)respectively;Escherichia coli (n =51 )and Enterococcus faecium (n =21 )were the main pathogens when patients stayed in ICU for ≤48 hours,Acinetobacter baumannii was the main pathogen when patients stayed in ICU for >48 hours.Most intra-abdominal infection occurred after intestinal tract(53.23%)and hepatobiliary system operation (24.19%).39 (29.32%)patients isolated at least two kinds of pathogens,29 of whom isolated 2 kinds of pathogens. Conclusion Most pathogens of intra-abdominal infection in ICU patients are detected following intestinal tract and hepato-biliary operation,and mixed pathogens are common,predominantly gram-negative bacilli.Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecium are the main pathogens when patients stayed in ICU for ≤48 hours,opportunistic pathogens are the main patho-gens when patients stay in ICU for >48 hours.
摘要
Objective To understand the pathogen spectrum and epidemiological characteristics of diarrhea cases in Shanghai from August 2013 to July 2014.Methods The survey was conducted in 23 hospitals at different levels randomly selected in Shanghai,the diarrhea cases seeking medical care in these hospitals were sampled,and stool samples were collected from them for pathogen isolation.Results Among 3 467 stool samples detected,1 561 were positive for at least 1 pathogen (45.02％).A total of 6 kinds of bacteria and 5 kinds of viruses were detected.The positive rate for bacterium was 13.46％,mainly Vibrio parahaemolyticus (172 cases) and Salmonella (143 cases).The positive rate for virus was 27.75％,mainly Norovirus (471 cases) and Rotavirus (312 cases).The positive rates peaked obviously in summer and during autumn-winter.The positive rate of virus was higher than that of bacterium during autumn-winter,and the positive rate of bacterium was higher than that of virus in summer,the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05).Stratified analysis showed the constituent ratio of virus positive samples during November-February was highest among all age groups,however,the difference was not statistically significant (P＞0.05).The constituent ratio of bacterium positive samples during June-September was highest in all age groups,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).The proportion of the cases with fever in bacterium positive group (19.06％) was higher than those in virus positive group (10.91％),the difference had statistically significance (P＜0.05).Conclusion The pathogen spectrum of diarrhea was relatively wide in Shanghai and the seasonality of the incidence was obvious.Specific etiological surveillance and control strategies should be strengthened among risk groups in different seasons.
