ObjectiveTo characterize the prevalence and epidemic situation of imported malaria cases in Songjiang District of Shanghai from 2013 to 2022, and to provide evidence for malaria prevention and control. MethodsRelated data were collected and analyzed, including malaria cases, blood testing of febrile patients, and mosquito surveillance in Songjiang from 2013 to 2022. ResultsA total of 13 002 febrile patients in Songjiang were tested for plasmodium parasites from 2013 to 2022, among which 18 malaria cases were confirmed, including 17 cases of falciparum malaria and 1 case of ovale malaria. Moreover, a total of 36 malaria cases were notified in Songjiang through the National Notifiable Disease Reporting System from 2013 to 2022, including cases reported from Songjiang District and other districts or provinces with physical addresses in Songjiang. Of them, there were 31 cases of falciparum malaria, 2 cases of vivax malaria, 2 cases of ovale malaria and 1 case of quartan malaria. The gender ratio of male to female cases was 17∶1, and the majority was young and middle aged. In addition, 35 cases were imported from Africa and 1 case from southeast Asia; 34 cases were migrant workers, and 2 cases were travellers abroad; 17 cases were found and reported in Songjiang, 15 cases were reported from other districts of Shanghai, and 4 cases were reported from other provinces; 27 cases were treated in Shanghai, 3 cases were treated in other provinces and 6 cases were treated with self-provided antimalarial drugs. Mosquito surveillance in Songjiang showed that density of Anopheles sinensis was extremely low. ConclusionNo indigenous malaria case has been notified in Songjiang since 2008. Malaria surveillance on migrant workers remains the focus of malaria prevention and control. Furthermore, achievement of malaria elimination in Songjiang should be continually enhanced to avoid potential further transmission of imported malaria.

ObjectiveTo understand the infection characteristics of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) in hospitalized patients in a tertiary sentinel hospital in Shanghai, so as to provide an evidence for the development of targeted prevention and control measures. MethodsData of MDROs strains and corresponding medical records of some hospitalized patients in a hospital in Shanghai from 2021 to 2023 were collected, together with an analysis of the basic information, clinical treatment, underlying diseases and sources of sample collection. ResultsA total of 134 strains of MDROs isolated from hospitalized patients in this hospital were collected from 2021 to 2023 , including 63 strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), 57 strains of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB), and 14 strains of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP). Of the 134 strains, 30 strains were found in 2021, 47 strains in 2022 and 57 strains in 2023. The male-to-female ratio of patients was 2.05∶1, with the highest percentage (70.90%) in the age group of 60‒<90 years. The primary diagnosis was mainly respiratory disease, with lung and respiratory tract as the cheif infection sites. There was no statistically significant difference in the distribution of strains between different genders and infection sites (P>0.05). However, the differences in the distribution of strains between different ages and primary diagnosis were statistically significant (P<0.05). Patients who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), had urinary tract intubation, were not artery or vein intubated, were not on a ventilator, were not using immunosuppresants or hormones, and were not applying radiotherapy or chemotherapy were in the majority. There was no statistically significant difference in the distribution of strains for whether received radiotherapy or chemotherapy or not (P>0.05), while the differences in the distribution of strains with ICU admission history, urinary tract intubation, artery or vein intubation, ventilator use, and immunosuppresants or hormones use or not were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The type of specimen was mainly sputum, the hospitalized ward was mainly comprehensive ICU, the sampling time was mainly in the first quarter throughout the year, the number of underlying diseases was mainly between 1 to 2 kinds, the application of antibiotics ≥4 kinds, and those who didn’t receive any surgery recently accounted for the most. There were statistically significant differences in the distribution of strains between different specimen types, wards occupied and history of ICU stay (P<0.05), but no statistically significant difference in the distribution of strains between different sampling times, number of underlying diseases and types of antibiotics applied (P>0.05). ConclusionThe situation of prevention and control on MDROs in this hospital is still serious. Focus should be placed on high-risk factors’ and infection monitoring and preventive measures should be strengthened to reduce the incidence rate of MDROs infection.

ObjectiveTo investigate the infection and genotypes of Wolbachia in Aedes albopictus. MethodsAdult and larval samples of Aedes albopictus were collected from different residential and wild areas from 2020 to 2021, Wolbachia surface protein (wsp) gene was amplified and genotyped for wAlbA and wAlbB by PCR, and sequenced for phylogenetic analysis. The difference of detection rate among different habitats, male and female adult mosquitoes, adult and larvae was compared by χ2 analysis. ResultsThe detection rate of Wolbachia in adult and larvae of Aedes albopictus were 43.5% (77/177) and 70.4% (190/270), respectively, with a statistically significant difference (χ2=32.086,P<0.001), and wAlbA and wAlbB were mainly detected together. The detection rate of Wolbachia in female and male Aedes albopictus were 50.7% (76/150) and 3.7% (1/27), respectively, with a statistically significant difference(χ2=20.533,P<0.001). The detection rate of adult Aedes albopictus in Songjiang wild area, residential area and Hongkou residential area were 91.7% (55/60), 18.8% (22/117) and 41.7% (30/72), respectively, with a statistically significant difference (χ2=54.322,P<0.001). Genotyping and phylogenetic analysis showed that adult and larvae of Aedes albopictus infected with Wolbachia were mainly wAlb A and wAlb B. In addition, some sequences formed clades independently, and the genetic distance from other sequences was relatively large. ConclusionInfection of Wolbachia in Aedes albopictus is relatively common in Songjiang District. The main genotypes are wAlb A and wAlb B and there may be other subtypes, which are worthy of further exploration and research.

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of diabetes mellitus among community population in Songjiang District of Shanghai, and to provide scientific basis for prevention and treatment of diabetes mellitus. MethodsBased on the baseline data of the Shanghai Suburban Adult Cohort (2016‒2017) and local medication database, the prevalence of diabetes in the cohort was described, and the influencing factors for the prevalence of diabetes in different genders were analyzed. ResultsAmong 35 928 participants, males accounted for 40.57%, and the median age was 58 years old. There were 5 342 diabetic patients with a crude prevalence rate of 14.87% and the standardized prevalence rate of diabetes mellitus was 7.57%. The prevalence rate of diabetes in males (15.81%) was significantly higher than that in females (14.23%, P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the following factors were associated with high risk of diabetes mellitus in males: 40‒59 age group (OR=7.111,95%CI:4.900‒10.320), 60‒74 age group (OR=8.994,95%CI:6.154‒13.144), family history of diabetes (OR=3.369,95%CI:2.963‒3.83), overweight (OR=1.272,95%CI:1.123‒1.439), obesity (OR=1.912,95%CI:1.623‒2.252), hypertension (OR=1.685,95%CI:1.512‒1.877), and dyslipidemia (OR=1.396,95%CI:1.263‒1.542). In females, the high risk of diabetes was associated with: 40‒59 age group (OR=2.718,95%CI:1.838‒4.02), 60‒74 age group (OR=3.517,95%CI:2.34‒5.286), family history of diabetes (OR=3.071,95%CI:2.761‒3.416), overweight (OR=1.254,95%CI:1.125‒1.398), obesity (OR=2.018,95%CI:1.764‒2.308), central obesity (OR=1.515,95%CI:1.357‒1.692), hypertension (OR=2.128,95%CI:1.929‒2.347), dyslipidemia (OR=1.506,95%CI:1.379‒1.644), exercise (OR=1.241,95%CI:1.137‒1.355), and menopause (OR=1.967,95%CI:1.693‒2.286).

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between mosquito density fluctuations and meteorological factors, so as to provide a scientific basis for mosquito surveillance analysis, risk assessment, and comprehensive prevention and control. MethodsMosquito surveillance and monitoring data of 2020‒2023 was obtained from on-site supervisory sampling by Songjiang Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and meteorological data was obtained from the Wheat A wheat malt-agro-meteorological big data system. Excel 2019 and SPSS 25.0 software were used to organize and analyze the mosquito number, species composition, and seasonal changes in mosquito density captured by the CO2-light trap at rach monitoring site. Circular distribution method was used to calculate the peak time of mosquito density, combined with the meteorological data of the same period to explore the impact of meteorological factors on the results of mosquito surveillance. ResultsThere was a statistical difference in the overall distribution of mosquito quantity in different habitats(H=23.11, P<0.05), 2020‒2023. In addition, the results showed that July 28th was the peak day for mosquito density, and the duration from June 13th to September 11th was the seasonal peak period for mosquitoes. Pearson correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between mosquito density and average air temperature, average highest air temperature, average lowest air temperature, extreme maximum air temperature, extreme minimum air temperature, precipitation, and number of precipitation days (all P<0.01). While, there was no significant correlation between average wind speed and mosquito density (P>0.05). Multiple stepwise regression analysis resulted in the equation of Y=0.151Xextreme minimum temperature+0.321Xnumber of precipitation days+1.002XSQRT precipitation-1.288 (F=102.635, P<0.05). ConclusionThe CO2-light trap is advisable to monitor the habitats of farmers, livestock sheds, residential areas, parks, hospitals, and other external environments. Air temperature and precipitation have a significant impact on mosquito density. It is recommended to implement comprehensive prevention and control measures to reduce mosquito density and prevent mosquito-borne diseases before the peak period of mosquitoes.

Objective To investigate the correlation between insulin resistance and interleukin-6 (IL-6), chemerin, total cholesterol (TC)/high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio, triglyceride (TG)/HDL-C ratio, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)/HDL-C ratio and insulin resistance in obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and to provide scientific basis for T2DM prevention and control. Methods A total of 355 obese T2DM patients in Songjiang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine were selected from January 2021 to December 2023. IL-6, chemerin and lipids were detected, and the assessment of insulin resistance was conducted through the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Results Among the 355 obese T2DM patients, there were 280 cases of insulin resistance, with the incidence rate of 78.87%. The BMI, IL-6, chemerin, TC/HDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C, and TG/HDL-C in the insulin resistance group were higher than those in the non-insulin resistance group (P<0.05). The above insulin resistant patients were divided into 4 subgroups by means of insulin resistance, and there were significant differences in BMI, IL-6, chemerin, and TG/HDL-C among the subgroups (P<0.05). IL-6, chemerin, and TG/HDL-C were positively correlated with HOMA-IR in obese T2DM patients (P<0.05), while TC/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C had no significant correlation with HOMA-IR (P>0.05). BMI, IL-6, chemerin, and TG/HDL-C were all influencing factors of insulin resistance in obese T2DM patients (P<0.05). Conclusion IL-6, chemerin and TG/HDL-C are correlated with insulin resistance in obese patients with T2DM and are influencing factors for the occurrence of insulin resistance.
