ObjectiveTo understand the internet media information of COVID-19 in Shanghai in 2022, to provide evidence for health administration departments to respond to public health emergencies, and to establish a comprehensive public health media surveillance system. MethodsData on internet media information and the local COVID-19 epidemic data in Shanghai from January 1 to June 30, 2022 were collected and analyzed. ResultsA total of 90.197 3 million pieces of internet media information were monitored. The top four sources of the information were Weibo (36.84%), short videos (26.19%), internet media (14.47%), and forums (13.31%). The variation trend of daily internet media surveillance information was identified with the number of newly reported cases per day, and a correlation was found (r=0.770. After the seven-day moving average,r=0.796). Frequent keywords included Shanghai, cheer up, nucleic acid, new cases, local, asymptomatic, prevention and control, gratitude, isolation, epidemic prevention, supplies, pandemic response, patient, seeking help, and clearing the cases. Within the information on Weibo, in addition to netizens in Shanghai (7 823 100) who were highly concerned about the pandemic, netizens from Beijing (2 749 100), Guangdong Province (2 352 300), Jiangsu Province (2 189 100) and Zhejiang Province(1 532 100) also posted a relatively high amount of information related to COVID-19 in Shanghai. ConclusionThe outbreak of major infectious diseases triggers significant online activity, and platforms such as Weibo and short video platforms play crucial roles in disseminating internet media information. Weibo, short videos etc. are important platforms for current internet media information. Strengthening media information monitoring and analysis, paying close attention to hot events, taking timely response measures and actively engaging in risk communication contribute to the response and management of public health emergencies.

ObjectiveBased on the investigation of the core capacity development of health emergency response of Shanghai disease prevention and control institutions after the COVID-19 pandemic, to analyze the shortcomings of health emergency response capacity of Shanghai disease prevention and control institutions, and to put forward suggestions to improve the core capacity of Shanghai's disease prevention and control system in the face of public health emergencies. MethodsUsing questionnaire surveys, investigations and evaluations were conducted on the emergency system development, epidemic monitoring and risk assessment, emergency team manpower and equipment, and actual response to COVID-19 in 16 district-level disease prevention and control institutions in Shanghai. ResultsThe overall public health emergency response capacity building of the district-level disease control agencies in Shanghai is relatively good, and the effect of capacity building has been proven during the handling of the new coronavirus. But at the same time, it also exposed some specific problems such as imperfect system construction, lack of emergency personnel and materials, insufficient on-site handling capabilities of personnel, and uneven allocation of emergency personnel and materials among different agencies. ConclusionShanghai district-level disease control should focus on the specific problems, such as strengthening the development of health emergency system, improving the human resources and material reserves of the emergency teams, and optimizing the laboratory testing ability, to further improve the core health emergency capacity of Shanghai disease control system.

Objective To determine the epidemiological characteristics of infectious disease related public health bud-events in Shanghai and assess the effects of bud-event surveillance, so as to provide scientific evidence for improving the surveillance system. Methods Surveillance data of infectious disease related public health bud-events were collected from 16 districts of Shanghai from 2017 through 2020. Then the data were analyzed and compared with infectious disease related public health emergencies during the same period. Results A total of 6 376 infectious disease related public health bud-events were documented in Shanghai in 2017‒2020, which involved 29 792 cases. There were two seasonal peaks, April through June and November through December. Clustered events accounted for 38.85%, mainly caused by chickenpox (14.10%), hand,foot and mouth disease (11.17%) and norovirus-associated infectious diarrhea (6.54%). The 36.73% of the bud-events occurred in school settings, which involved 24 718 cases (accounting for 83.00% of all cases). Median time duration between onset date of the first cases and report date of the events was 4 days, and median duration of the events was 14 days, demonstrating positive correlation. In addition, all the infectious disease related public health emergencies(

ObjectiveTo determine the current status and characteristics of tuberculosis (TB) registration and treatment in Kashgar, and to provide scientific evidence for targeted prevention and control measures in future. MethodsKashgar registered TB cases information in 2011 to 2020 was exported from the National Tuberculosis Management Information System. Descriptive epidemiological analysis was conducted using Stata 12.0. ResultsFrom 2011 to 2020, number of Kashgar registered TB patients showed rising trend, followed by a falling one. Average proportion of annual decline in registered TB incidence was 40.48% from 2018 to 2020. From 2011 to 2016, number of registered TB patients in women was always higher than that in men, with a gender ratio (male : female) of about 0.90. In 2017, the gender ratio was 1.00. From 2018 to 2020, the gender ratios were 1.05, 1.20, and 1.12, respectively. Moreover, number of registered TB cases increased with age (χ2=547.79, P<0.001). Proportion of registered TB cases was relatively large in Shache County (16.43%‒23.64%), Yengisar County (9.51%‒13.87%) , Kashgar City (8.11%‒11.40%), Yecheng County (6.98%‒13.40%) and Bachu County(4.92%‒16.65%). Proportion of recurrent TB cases in Kashgar had increased to 27.29%, 20.77% and 28.39% in 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that age, drug resistance, calendar year and etiological diagnosis were significantly correlated with the proportion of recurrent cases (all P<0.05). ConclusionSince 2018, TB incidence has decreased significantly due to the increasing efforts for identification and treatment of TB cases. However, Kashgar remains facing a high TB incidence. TB cases that are elderly, drug-resistant and positive for pathogen are susceptible to recurrent treatment. In future, targeted prevention and control measures should be improved for these groups.
