Objective:
To investigate the serum anti-mumps IgG antibody levels among children aged 0 to 4 years in Haishu District, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide insights into improvements for mumps vaccination program.
Methods:
Children aged 0 to 4 years were sampled from Haishu District using a stratified random sampling method in 2016 (before adjustment of the mumps vaccination program) and 2022 (after adjustment of the mumps vaccination program). Participants' demographics were collected using questionnaires, and the coverage of mumps-containing vaccines was collected from the Ningbo Municipal Immunization Information System. Serum anti-mumps IgG antibody was measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the seroprevalence of anti-mumps IgG antibody and geometric mean concentration (GMC) were estimated among children aged 0 to 4 years in 2016 and 2022.
Results:
A total of 464 children were enrolled in 2016, including 250 boys (53.88%) and 214 girls (46.12%), and there were 301 children receiving mumps-containing vaccines (64.87%). The seroprevalence of anti-mumps IgG antibody were 48.08%, 34.44%, 81.11%, 84.44% and 84.44%, and GMC were 233.86, 351.77, 333.66, 362.29 and 410.72 U/mL. A total of 456 children were recruited in 2022, including 236 boys (51.75%) and 220 girls (48.25%), and there were 427 children receiving mumps-containing vaccines (93.64%). The seroprevalence of anti-mumps IgG antibody were 72.73%, 95.00%, 100.00%, 98.68% and 99.04%, and GMC were 524.05, 1 229.69, 1 623.64, 788.01 and 738.41 U/mL. Higher seroprevalence and GMC of anti-mumps IgG antibody was seen in 2022 than in 2016 among children at all age groups (P<0.05).
Conclusion
Following adjustment for vaccination programs, the seroprevalence and GMC of anti-mumps IgG antibody significantly increased among children at ages of 0 to 4 years in Haishu District.

Objective:
To investigate the characteristics of breakthrough cases of varicella in Haishu District, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province from 2017 to 2022, so as to provide the evidence for varicella prevention and control.
Methods:
Information on reported cases of varicella and vaccination in Haishu District from 2017 to 2022 were collected through the China Infectious Disease Reporting Management Information System and the Immunization Program Information Management System of Zhejiang Province. The breakthrough cases who had received 1 or 2 doses of varicella vaccine 42 days before the onset of disease were selected. The distribution of sex, age, region and the interval between onset and last immunization were descriptively analyzed.
Results:
A total of 1 563 varicella cases were reported from 2017 to 2022. There were 928 breakthrough cases (59.37%), of which 660 cases with 1-dose immunization history (42.23%) and 268 cases with 2-dose immunization history (17.15%). The proportion of 1-dose breakthrough cases in total annual cases showed a decreasing trend (P<0.05) from 2017 to 2022, while there was no significant tendency on the proportion of cases with 2-dose immunization history (P>0.05). There were 392 males (59.39%) and 268 females (40.61%) with 1-dose immunization history. There were 150 males (55.97%) and 118 females (44.03%) with 2-dose immunization history. Breakthrough cases with 1- and 2- dose immunization history had an median age of 13.00 (interquartile range, 4.00) and 9.00 (4.00) years, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The regional distribution of the breakthrough cases with 1- and 2- dose immunization history was mainly in the rural-urban fringe, with 319 cases (48.33%) and 137 cases (51.12%), respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The median interval between onset and last immunization was 12.00 (interquartile range, 3.00) and 4.00 (3.00) years, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).
Conclusions
The breakthrough cases of varicella in Haishu District from 2017 to 2022 were mainly cases with 1-dose immunization history, males, and residents in rural-urban fringe. The age was older and the interval between onset and the last immunization was longer in cases with 1-dose immunization history than in cases with 2-dose immunization history.

ObjectiveTo analyze the local human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection characteristics and influencing factors of newly reported HIV infected cases and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome patients (AIDS) in Ningbo City from 2017 to 2020, and to provide scientific basis for local effective AIDS prevention and control measures. MethodsFrom January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2020, the newly reported HIV/AIDS patients in Ningbo were recruited and face-to-face questionnaire was used to collect relevant information such as demography, behavior, infection route and infection location of research subjects. The data were processed and analyzed by EpiData 3.1 and SPSS 23.0 software. ResultsA total of 449 newly reported HIV/AIDS patients were recruited and 399 cases completed the survey. The survey subjects were mainly male (346, 86.7%), unmarried (188, 47.1%),with local household registration (246, 61.6%), with junior high school and lower education level (195, 48.9%), and 25 to 44 years old (206, 51.6%). The local HIV/AIDS infection rate was 68.4% (273/399), among which the local HIV/AIDS infection rate of homosexual transmission was 74.9% (146/195). Multivariate analysis showed that heterosexual transmission of HIV infection (OR=0.349,95%CI:0.201‒0.606), using dating software to find local sexual partners (OR=2.133,95%CI:0.201‒0.606), and received no AIDS education services before HIV confirmation (OR=1.914,95%CI:1.196‒3.063) were the influencing factors of local HIV/AIDS infection (P<0.05). ConclusionThe newly reported HIV/AIDS in Ningbo mainly infects HIV locally, and the coverage of HIV/AIDS education is insufficient before HIV confirmation. A high proportion of local HIV/AIDS infections is found in people who find local sexual partners through dating software and who infected through homosexual transmission before HIV confirmation. It is necessary to strengthen local HIV/AIDS education and Internet intervention among MSM who seek sexual partners through dating software.

Objective To identify the current research hotspots of global health training, and construct a global health talent training evaluation index system. Methods Publications pertaining to global health talent training evaluation were retrieved in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, and Web of Science Core Collection from 2003 to 2022, and keywords were extracted from eligible publications for co-occurrence and cluster analyses using the CiteSpace software. Based on keywords clustering results, a global health talent training evaluation index system was constructed using a context, input, process, and product (CIPP) evaluation model as a theoretical framework. Results A total of 692 Chinese publications and 1 264 English publications were included. Keyword co-occurrence and cluster analyses yielded 10 Chinese and 10 English keyword clusters, and the 10 Chinese keyword clusters included analytic hierarchy process, health diplomacy, personnel structure, crossdiscipline, educational assessment, global health discipline development, training needs, curriculum program, quality evaluation and logistics support, while the English keyword clusters included evidence-based practice, capacity building, global health, quality of life, machine learning, leadership, sub-Saharan Africa, health equity, global health security and global health diplomacy. Based on keyword clustering, a global health talent training evaluation index system was constructed with CIPP as the theoretical framework, which contained 4 primary indicators, 15 secondary indicators and 59 tertiary indicators, and the primary indicators included 4 dimensions of context evaluation, input evaluation, process evaluation and product evaluation. Conclusions A global health talent training evaluation index system has been constructed, which provides an effective evaluation tool and quantitative evidence for future global health talent training.
