Objective: To investigate the epidemiological trend of human intestinal helminth infections in Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province from 2006 to 2015, so as to provide the evidence for formulating further control strategies.
Methods: The surveillance data of human intestinal helminth infections were collected and analyzed in Yancheng City from 2006 to 2015.
Results: From 2006 to 2015, 110 746 person-times of residents in Yancheng City were surveyed in Yancheng City, and 1 732 samples were positive of human intestinal helminth infections. The infection rate of human intestinal helminthes was highest in 2006 [4.59% (410/8 941)], and lowest in 2013 [0.19% (23/12 165)]. The infection rate of human intestinal helminthes was significantly decreased over time ( = 27.78, < 0.001). The human infection rates of , hook worm and were all decreased over time ( = -27.75, -22.23 and -16.17, all < 0.001) from 2006 to 2015, with the reduction rates of 96.57%, 92.31% and 96.47%, respectively. The average EPG of , hook worm and were 2 534, 360 and 154 respectively, and 1 694 (97.81%) cases were light infections. Totally 1 174 cases of were found in children under 12 years old, and the cases were decreased over time ( = 12.46, < 0.001).
Conclusions: The infection rate of human intestinal helminthes in Yancheng City decreases over time from 2006 to 2015, and the control work is effective. The control work of focus groups and environmental management and health education should be strengthened in the future.

To undertake a mixed-methodology implementation study to improve the well-being of men with gastrointestinal late effects following radical radiotherapy for prostate cancer. All men completed a validated screening tool for late bowel effects (ALERT-B) and the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Score (GSRS); men with a positive score on ALERT-B were offered management following a peer reviewed algorithm for pelvic radiation disease (PRD). Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) at baseline, 6 and 12 months; and healthcare resource usage (HRU) and patient, support-giver, staff experience and acceptability of staff training (qualitative analysis) were assessed.

Unlabelled: In the gut, microRNAs (miRNAs) produced by intestinal epithelial cells are secreted into the lumen and can shape the composition and function of the gut microbiome. Crosstalk between gut microbes and the host plays a key role in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel diseases, yet little is known about how the miRNA-gut microbiome axis contributes to the pathogenesis of these conditions. Here, we investigate the ability of miR-21, a miRNA that we found decreased in fecal samples from IBS patients, to associate with and regulate gut microbiome function.

Unlabelled: Pathogenic strains cause cholera using different mechanisms. O1 and O139 serogroup strains use the toxin-co-regulated pilus (TCP) and cholera toxin (CT) for intestinal colonization and to promote secretory diarrhea, while non-O1/non-O139 serogroup strains are typically non-toxigenic and use alternate virulence factors to cause a clinically similar disease. An O39 serogroup, TCP/CT-negative strain, named AM-19226, uses a type III secretion system (T3SS) to translocate more than 10 effector proteins into the host cell cytosol.
