Resolvin D1 (RvD1) is an endogenous anti-inflammatory mediator that modulates the inflammatory response and promotes inflammation resolution. RvD1 has demonstrated neuroprotective effects in various central nervous system contexts; however, its role in the pathophysiological processes of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and the potential protective mechanisms when combined with exercise rehabilitation remain unclear. A mouse model of ICH was established using collagenase, and treatment with RvD1 combined with three weeks of exercise rehabilitation significantly improved neurological deficits, muscle strength, learning, and memory in ICH mice while reducing anxiety-like behavior.

Schistosomiasis is one of the major infectious diseases that seriously endanger the health of people, and social and economic development. Before the year of 1949, Yujiang County of Jiangxi Province was one of hyper-endemic regions for schistosomiasis. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, under the leadership and high attention of the Chinese Communist Party and the government, after the arduous struggle with schistosomiasis, Yujiang County became the first county that reached the standard of eradication of schistosomiasis in 1958.

China's prevention and control of parasitic diseases has made remarkable achievements. However, the prevalence and transmission of parasitic diseases is impacted by the complicated natural and social factors of environment, natural disasters, population movements, and so on. Therefore, there are still the risks of the outbreak of emergency parasitic diseases affairs, which may affect the control effectiveness of parasitic diseases and endanger the social stability seriously.

Objective: To explore the cut-off value of the indirect haemagglutination test (IHA) method for schistosomiasis japonica diagnosis in different endemic areas.
Methods: Totally 55 nature villages of the lake-type endemic counties, Yugan and Xinzi, in Poyang Lake Region of Jiangxi Province were chosen as the study fields, and all the villagers over 5 years old were parallelly examined by Kato-Katz method + miracidial hatching test and IHA method. The detection data were analyzed by the correlation analysis, and the threshold values of the IHA method in different endemic areas were decided by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.

Context: Velvet antler (VA) is recognized as one of the most important Chinese traditional medical herbs. To date, the immunoactivity of the single component of VA is rarely studied though its compound extracts have been well analyzed.
Objective: The current study was designed to evaluate the immunomodulatory effects of a recombinant polypeptide (rVAP32) based on the VA of the sika deer by comparison with its natural counterpart (nVAP32).

Objective: To comprehensively summarize the associations between retinol, vitamins A, C, and E and breast cancer, and quantitatively estimate their dose-response relationships.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases (from January 1982 to 15 March 2011) and the references of the relevant articles in English with sufficient information to estimate relative risk or odds ratio and the 95% confidence intervals, and comparable categories of vitamins. Two reviewers independently extracted data using a standardized form, with any discrepancy adjudicated by the third reviewer.
In this study, seven recombinant epitope peptides from within the ORF2 protein of the local genotype 4 swine hepatitis E virus (HEV) DQ strain were designed and analyzed. Then, a new multi-epitope-based ELISA was established. In comparison with a commercial kit, this test exhibited good specificity and sensitivity for anti-HEV genotype 4.

Methods: referring the 'national criteria of control and elimination of schistosomiasis' and the 'national criteria of classification of endemic area for chemotherapy'; collecting the data of the re-infection of schistosomiasis in lake region and residual snails in mountain areas and evolution of endemic situation in 'snail ridden areas without schistosomiasis'; analyzing the potential risk in different types of low endemic area and suggesting the control strategies according to the analysis results and historical experiment.
Results: the re-infection rate of schistosomiasis in residents is usually higher in high, medium and low endemic areas in the lake region, once chemotherapy is stopped, the infection rate may rise again to the initial level 2 years later and bovine chemotherapy and snail control in susceptible zone will be selected as the optimal strategies for controlling the endemic situation; the potential risk in mountain areas is the enlargement of snail habitats due to residual snail's reproduction and the control strategy will be to strengthen the surveillance and elimination of residual snails; inputting the infective sources of schistosomiasis is the potential risk in 'snail ridden area without schistosomiasis' and the main control strategy should be put the regular monitoring on the infection sources from hyper-endemic areas and treat the infected domestic animals in time.
To assess the impact of the 1998 flood on snail distribution in the lower Yangtze River Basin, two study areas were selected, one in the Poyang Lake region, and the other along the Yangtze River in Jiangsu province. Using image analysis software, geocoded Landsat TM data were used to create TNDVI maps based on the formula TNDVI=Sqrt[(band4-band3/band4+band3)+0.5].

For exploring the impact of health education for schistosomiasis control in a heavy endemic area of Poyang Lake region, China, the residents residing in the heavy endemic area were divide into three kinds of target population: pupils, adult women and adult men, and then targeted health education was implemented respectively among the three kinds of population after a baseline survey. The result were compared with that in the control group. The anti-schistosomiasis knowledge level among the three kinds of population improved significantly, the correct rate of attitude to examination and chemotherapy among pupils and adult men and the correct rate of anti-schistosomiasis value concept among women were raised greatly, obedience to examination and chemotherapy among adult men increased, the rate of infested water exposure and infection rate among pupils and adult women declined remarkably.
