RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To understand the malaria epidemic situation and characteristics in Xiaoshan District, 2010-2014, so as to provide the evidence for formulating effective malaria elimination strategies and measures. METHODS: The reported malaria cases from the Internet Reporting System and the epidemiological data of malaria in Xiaoshan District were collected and analyzed statistically with Excel 2003. RESULTS: From 2010 to 2014, 25 malaria patients were reported, and the annual incidences were in the range of 0.09/100 000-0.38/100 000. All the cases were confirmed by laboratory examinations. Among these cases, 12 (48.00%) were vivax malaria cases and 13 (52.00%) were falciparum malaria cases. There was no death. These patients were mainly young people who were workers or businessmen overseas. There were 17 (68.00%) abroad-imported cases and 8 (32.00%) domestic-mobile cases, but no local malaria cases. CONCLUSIONS: Malaria incidence rate continues at a lower level in Xiaoshan District. Since starting the action of malaria elimination, the source of infection has turned from domestic-mobile cases to abroad-imported cases. Therefore, in the future, we should enhance the prevention and control measures to reduce the risk of overseas imported malaria.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of Shin-I essential oil inhalation on blood lactate changes in rats subjected to treadmill exercise. METHODS: : Adult male Sprague Dawley rats (n=12) were randomly divided into the control or the Shin-I group. Rats were subjected to a treadmill exercise program (15 m/min for 30 min). After exercise, rats were exposed to 200 µL of water or Shin-I essential oil, respectively, using a nebulizer for 180 min during the recovery period. Blood samples were collected every 15 min. Blood glucose and lactate concentrations were determined in a CMA 600 analyzer. RESULTS: : The basal glucose and lactate levels were no significantly different between two groups. After exercise, glucose levels were slightly increased to about 110%-120% of the basal level in both groups. Lactate levels of both groups reached to 110%-140% of basal levels during exercise. In the recovery period, lactate levels further increased to 180% of the basal level and were maintained at a plateau in the control group. However, lactate levels gradually decreased to 60%-65% of the basal level in the Shin-I group. Lactate clearance was significantly enhanced after Shin-I essential oil inhalation. CONCLUSIONS: : Our results provide evidence that Shin-I essential oil inhalation may accelerate recovery after exercise in rats.
