Objective: To evaluate the effect of malaria elimination monitoring in Liyang City, so as to provide the evidence for formulating control strategies and measures of malaria elimination.
Methods: The monitoring data about the epidemic situation, blood tests of feverish patients and epidemiology investigation of individual malaria patients in Liyang City from 2010 to 2016 were collected and analyzed by the descriptive epidemiology method.
Results: From 2010 to 2016, there were 67 malaria cases in total.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the prevalence of major parasitic diseases and the knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to them among rural residents in Liyang City, with the goal of informing preventive strategies.
- A total of 759 residents were tested, revealing a very low infection rate of 0.26%, with only two mild cases detected, indicating overall low prevalence of parasitic infections.
- Awareness of parasitic diseases was low, particularly for clonorchiasis (13.8%), and factors such as age and education significantly influenced residents' understanding of prevention methods; practices like handwashing and cooking food properly were somewhat common, but risky behaviors, such as consuming raw fish and using fresh feces as fertilizer, were also noted.
A comparative study and evaluation of sulfamethoxazole adsorption onto organo-montmorillonites.

December 2014
Three organo-montmorillonites were prepared using surfactants, and their adsorption behaviors toward sulfamethoxazole (SMX) were investigated. The surfactants used were cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTMAB), 3-(N,N-dimethylhexadecylammonio) propane sulfonate (HDAPS) and 1,3-bis(hexadecyldimethylammonio)-propane dibromide (BHDAP). The properties of the organo-montmorillonites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm measurements.

The modified samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Phenol and catechol were removed from aqueous solution by these two kinds of organo-montmorillonites in a batch system.
