Objective: To evaluate the effect of schistosomiasis control in Yunnan Province since achieving the transmission control standards, so as to provide the evidence for formulating the next prevention and control strategy.

Methods: The schistosomiasis epidemic monitoring reports, annual reports, relevant information about Oncomrnelania hupensis snails, and schistosomiasis patient conditions were collected and analyzed for epidemic condition and characteristics of schistosomiasis in Yunnan Province from 2009 to 2012.

Results: The various epidemic monitoring indicators all decreased. In 2012, compared with 2009, the prevalence reduced by 33.33% after correction; the number of villages with schistosomiasis patients reduced by 55.56%; the adjusted positive rate of livestock stool tests reduced by 45.45%; the number of villages with infected cow reduced by 42.25%; the actual area with snails reduced by 13.58%; the density of living snails reduced by 25.66%, and no schistosome infected snails were found in 2012.

Conclusion: There still exist schistosome infections in human and animals in some local areas of Yunnan Province, and it is difficult to achieve the standard of schistosomiasis transmission interrupted in a short period.

Stability analysis of an expansive soil slope under heavy rainfall conditions with different anchor reinforcements.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Geotechnical Engineering, School of Civil Engineering, Tongji University, Shanghai, 200000, China.

This study investigates the vulnerability of expansive soil slopes to destabilization and damage, particularly under intense rainfall, due to their heightened sensitivity to moisture. Focusing on a project in Yunnan Province, numerical simulation software is employed to address slope stability challenges. Meanwhile, the soil mechanical parameters of this study were acquired through experimentation.

Electroacupuncture attenuates ferroptosis by promoting Nrf2 nuclear translocation and activating Nrf2/SLC7A11/GPX4 pathway in ischemic stroke.

Chin Med

January 2025

Yunnan Key Laboratory of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine for Chronic Disease in Prevention and Treatment, Key Laboratory of Acupuncture and Massage for Treatment of Encephalopathy, College of Acupuncture, Tuina and Rehabilitation, Yunnan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Kunming, China.

Objective: Electroacupuncture has been shown to play a neuroprotective role following ischemic stroke, but the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. Ferroptosis has been shown to play a key role in the injury process. In the present study, we wanted to explore whether electroacupuncture could inhibit ferroptosis by promoting nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) nuclear translocation.

Background: Left ventricular (LV) myocardial contraction patterns can be assessed using LV mechanical dispersion (LVMD), a parameter closely associated with electrical activation patterns. Despite its potential clinical significance, limited research has been conducted on LVMD following myocardial infarction (MI). This study aims to evaluate the predictive value of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived LVMD for adverse clinical outcomes and to explore its correlation with myocardial scar heterogeneity.

Changes in water, energy, and food (WEF) trade patterns may reshape water circulation patterns, leading to potential water supply and demand risks. Analysis of virtual water risk transmission characteristics and driving factors from the perspective of WEF trade is highly important for alleviating the risk of water shortages and promoting the efficient use of resources. In this paper, a set of methods for quantifying risk transmission values is constructed on the basis of China's interregional input-output model, and the key paths of interregional virtual water risk transmission caused by WEF trade are identified using innovative methods.
