Objective To analyze the epidemic characteristics of scarlet fever in Pudong New Area, Shanghai from 2010 to 2023, and to grasp the incidence of scarlet fever in time. Methods The information on the registration of scarlet fever in Pudong New Area, Shanghai from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2023 was collected through the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System, and descriptive epidemiological methods and Joinpoint regression model were used for data analysis. Results From 2010 to 2023, a total of 5 669 cases of scarlet fever were reported in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, and no deaths were reported. The annual reported incidence rate was 7.2/100 000, and the overall trend was decreasing year by year. In terms of time distribution, the incidence peaks were in spring and winter. The incidence rate in males was higher than that in females, and it mainly affected children, especially those aged 2 to 10 years. Joinpoint regression model analysis showed that the annual percentage change (APC) and average annual percentage change (AAPC) of the reported incidence rate of scarlet fever from 2010 to 2023 showed that the incidence rate was fluctuating, and the incidence rate decreased significantly from 2019 to 2023 (APC was -53.7%). Conclusion The reported incidence rate of scarlet fever in Pudong New Area in Shanghai has decreased year by year from 2010 to 2023, and children remain the focus of prevention and control.

OBJECTIVE To provide scientific reference for perfecting the record-filing management policy of traditional Chinese medicine preparations formulated via traditional processes for medical applications （hereinafter referred to as “TCM preparations”） in medical institutions， and further promote the sound development of the research and record-filing work of such preparations. METHODS A literature review combined with cross-sectional research was carried out. We collected policy documents and preparation information related to the record-filing of TCM preparations issued by national and provincial drug administration authorities on official websites during 2018-2025. A comparative analysis was conducted on the implementation and revision of core policy documents for the registration management of TCM preparations across provinces， the scope of record-filing dosage forms， conditions for rejection of record-filing， and exemptions for registration materials. Statistical analysis on the quantity and dosage forms of record-filing preparations in each province was conducted by means of data induction and trend chart plotting， and targeted suggestions were put forward to optimize the management pathway of record-filing. RESULTS CONCLUSIONS There was obvious heterogeneity in record-filing policies among provinces. Twelve provinces refined the applicable dosage forms for record-filing， fifteen provinces supplemented conditions for rejection of record-filing （16 items in total）， and nine provinces expanded the scope of material exemptions. The number of recorded preparations presented a striking regional imbalance：Qinghai had the largest quantity of 4 269 varieties， while Hainan only had 14 varieties， with a gap of more than 300 times. The recorded preparations were mainly traditional dosage forms including pills （6 928 varieties） and powders （4 360 varieties）. Only 12 provinces formulated the provincial catalog for TCM preparations allocation. In most regions， preparation circulation was only permitted within medical consortia， leading to a low transformation rate of scientific and technological achievements of preparations. It is recommended to optimize the record-filing management pathway from three aspects： strengthening policy standardization while maintaining flexibility， streamlining record-filing procedures and documentary requirements， and reinforcing technical support and achievement transformation. These measures can reduce regional policy differences， improve work efficiency of record-filing， and advance the standardized development and clinical value transformation of hospital-made TCM preparations.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of autologous ear cartilage biomimetic nasal tip framework construction combined with dermal fat dorsal grafting in rhinoplasty.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of patients who underwent rhinoplasty at the Department of Plastic Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine from June 2021 to May 2023. Autologous ear cartilage with preserved perichondrium was harvested from patients, and fashioned into a nasal tip framework simulating the natural nasal tip structure. Dermal fat grafts were harvested from the lateral gluteal crease region where the dermis was thicker, and implanted into the nasal dorsum for augmentation rhinoplasty. Postoperative follow-up included observation of incision healing, nasal tip morphology, and complications. Pre- and postoperative photographs were taken to measure nasal length and nasal tip height. Ultrasound was used to measure subcutaneous fat thickness at the nasal root before and after surgery, and absorption rates were calculated. The absorption rate at 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively = (1 -subcutaneous fat thickness at 6 or 12 or 24 months postoperatively/subcutaneous fat thickness at 1 month postoperatively) × 100%. Aesthetic satisfaction was evaluated based on surgeon assessment, patient self-evaluation, and third-party physician evaluation (satisfaction by all three parties was rated as markedly effective, by two parties as effective, by one party as fair, and by none as poor). The aesthetic satisfaction rate = (markedly effective + effective) cases/total cases × 100%. Comparisons of preoperative and postoperative nasal tip height and nasal length were performed using paired t-tests, with P<0.05 considered statistically significant. Comparisons of subcutaneous fat thickness at the nasal root at different time points and absorption rates at different postoperative time points were performed using repeated measures ANOVA, with post-hoc pairwise comparisons using Bonferroni correction. For subcutaneous fat thickness comparisons, P<0.007 was considered statistically significant; for absorption rate comparisons, P<0.017 was considered statistically significant. Results:A total of 38 patients were included, consisting of 5 males and 33 females, with a mean age of 29.42 years (range 20-38 years). All patients were followed up for 24 months postoperatively. All incisions healed well; nasal appearance was aesthetically pleasing; nasal dorsal height was satisfactory; nasal tip mobility was good; the framework was stable; and no complications occurred. At 24 months postoperatively, nasal tip height [(22.87±0.52) mm vs. (19.94±0.53) mm] and nasal length [(47.18±0.61) mm vs. (44.20±0.55) mm] were significantly increased compared to preoperative measurements (both P<0.01). Comparison of subcutaneous fat thickness at the nasal root between preoperative and postoperative time points (1, 6, 12, and 24 months) showed statistically significant differences ( P<0.007). Post-hoc comparisons revealed statistically significant differences between: postoperative 1 month and 6 months vs. preoperative; postoperative 12 months vs. postoperative 1 and 6 months; and postoperative 24 months vs. postoperative 1 and 6 months (all P<0.007). However, the comparison between postoperative 24 months and 12 months showed no statistically significant difference ( P>0.007). Comparison of absorption rates at postoperative time points (6, 12, and 24 months) showed statistically significant differences ( P<0.017). Comparisons between postoperative 12 months vs. 6 months, and postoperative 24 months vs. 6 months showed statistically significant differences (both P<0.017), while the comparison between postoperative 24 months and 12 months showed no statistically significant difference ( P>0.017). In the aesthetic satisfaction survey, 37 cases were markedly effective and 1 case was fair, achieving an aesthetic satisfaction rate of 97%. Conclusion:The use of autologous ear cartilage for constructing a biomimetic nasal tip framework combined with dermal fat dorsal grafting in rhinoplasty results in natural postoperative appearance and high patient satisfaction, demonstrating significant value for extensive clinical use.

The integration of multi-source data and the establishment of early warning indicator systems constitute pivotal elements for advancing surveillance and early warning capacities in respiratory infectious diseases. Given the multifaceted transmission mechanisms and complex contributing factors inherent in respiratory infectious diseases, surveillance datasets and associated early warning indicators demonstrate notable heterogeneity and sophisticated interrelationships. Furthermore, as surveillance and early warning requirements significantly vary across diverse epidemiological scenarios, accurate assessment of the value and applicability of distinct data types and indicators is imperative. This paper systematically reviews and synthesizes recent advancements in surveillance data and early warning indicators for respiratory infectious diseases, drawing on both domestic and international research. Particular attention is dedicated to analyzing the applicability and efficacy of various data types and indicators within multiple practical contexts, aiming to provide robust theoretical frameworks and methodological guidance to facilitate the development of resilient and efficient surveillance and early warning systems for respiratory infectious diseases.

Objective:To understand the composition of infectious pathogens and the changes in the epidemic characteristics of inpatients with acute respiratory tract infections in Pudong New Area of Shanghai, from 2018 to 2023.Methods:Specimens of inpatients with acute respiratory infection cases were collected from 14 healthcare institutions in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, from 2018-2023 and tested for eight respiratory pathogens: influenza virus, adenovirus, rhinovirus, parainfluenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus, common coronavirus, metapneumovirus, and bocavirus. The groups were divided into three periods,2018-2019, 2020-2022 and 2023, and the chi-square or Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test was used to compare the group differences. The SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results:Among the 3 023 inpatients with acute respiratory infection, the positive rate of any virus was 24.25% (733/3 023). The positive rates of any virus in 2018-2019, 2020-2022, and 2023 were 33.40% (336/1 006), 12.01% (116/966), and 26.74% (281/1 051), respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=128.20, P<0.001). Among the age groups, in 2018-2019 and 2020-2022, the positive rate of any virus was the highest in the <5 years age group (46.20% and 14.64%), while in 2023, the 15-59 years age group had the highest positive rate (32.97%). The positive rate of any virus in winter was the highest in 2018-2019 (53.21%) and 2020-2022 (17.58%), and the highest in autumn was in 2023 (31.53%). The peak positive rate of respiratory syncytial virus was in winter of 2018-2019 and 2020-2022, as well as the summer of 2023.The positive rates of influenza virus in 2018-2019, 2020-2022 and 2023 were 9.84%, 1.55% and 9.71%, respectively.
