Objective To analyze the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of and trends in the disease burden of dengue fever in China from 2005 to 2024, so as to provide insights into formulation of dengue fever control strategies. Methods Data pertaining to dengue fever cases in China from 2005 to 2024 were retrieved from the Infectious Disease Reporting Information System of Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and city population, gross domestic product (GDP), GDP per capita, and consumer price index in China were captured from the China Statistical Yearbook, National Bureau of Statistics of China, the China City Statistical Yearbook, and bureaus of statistics in each city. The disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), years of life lost (YLLs), and years lived with disability (YLDs) due to dengue fever were calculated in China from 2005 to 2024. The direct and indirect economic burdens of dengue fever were estimated to calculate the total economic burden. The trends in the disease burden of dengue fever were estimated in China from 2005 to 2024 using a Joinpoint regression model with the software Joinpoint 4.9.0.0, and the average annual percent change (AAPC) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. In addition, the DALYs rate and economic burden of dengue fever in China were subjected to global and local spatial autocorrelation analyses using the software ArcGIS 10.8. Results The gross DALYs due to dengue fever were 5 558 person-years in China from 2005 to 2024, and the DALYs of dengue fever increased from 36 person-years in 2005 to 899 person-years in 2024, with an increase of 23.97 folds. The average annual DALYs rate of dengue fever was 0.02 person-years/10⁵ in China during the 20-year study period from 2005 to 2024, and the DALYs rate peaked in 2014 (0.13 person-years/10⁵) and reduced during the COVID-19 pandemic from 2020 to 2022. YLDs were the main contributor of DALYs due to dengue fever in China from 2005 to 2024, with a total of 5 354 person-years, accounting for 96.33% (5 354 person-years/5 558 person-years) of the gross DALYs. The gross DALYs of dengue fever were 2 982 person-years among men (53.66%) and 2 575 person-years among women (46.34%) in China from 2005 to 2024, and high DALYs of dengue fever were measured among residents at ages of 15 to 30 years (1 639 person-years), 30 to 45 years (1 857 person-years), and 45 to 60 years (1 204 person-years), respectively, accounting for 84.56% (4 700 person-years/5 558 person-years) of total DALYs due to dengue fever in China. The total economic burden of dengue fever was estimated to be 612 million Yuan in China from 2005 to 2024, with an average annual economic burden of 30.584 million Yuan. The economic burden of dengue fever increased from 196 000 Yuan in 2005 to 121 million Yuan in 2024 in China, with an increase of 616.35 folds, and the per capita economic burden increased from 3 322.21 Yuan in 2005 to 4 940.01 Yuan in 2024, with an increase of 48.70%. Dengue fever cases were reported in 274 cities (counties) across 31 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) in China from 2005 to 2024, with relatively higher DALYs in Guangdong Province and Yunnan Province. Spatial autocorrelation analysis revealed that the disease burden of dengue fever appeared positive aggregation in Chinese cities (counties) from 2005 to 2024 (global Moran’s I = 0.045, Z = 2.24, P < 0.05), with high-high clusters mainly concentrated in the Pearl River Delta region in Guangdong Province and Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture and Pu’er City in Yunnan Province, and the total economic burden (global Moran’s I = 0.032, Z = 9.55, P < 0.001), per capita economic burden (global Moran’s I = 0.208, Z = 27.34, P < 0.001), and the proportion of total economic burdens in GDP in 2024 (global Moran’s I = 0.017, Z = 5.91, P < 0.001) all presented positive aggregation, with relatively higher total economic burdens mainly concentrated in Guangdong Province and Yunnan Province. Joinpoint regression analysis showed that the gross DALYs rates of dengue fever appeared an overall tendency towards a rise in China from 2005 to 2024 (AAPC = 16.24%, P = 0.029), and the DALYs rate presented an overall tendency towards a rise among both men (AAPC = 14.75%, P = 0.028) and women (AAPC = 14.93%, P = 0.037) during the study period. The per capita direct economic burden appeared an overall tendency towards a rise among dengue fever patients in China from 2005 to 2024 (AAPC = 2.16%, P = 0.012); however, there was no significant difference in the trends in the per capita indirect economic burden (AAPC = 0.46%, P = 0.470). In addition, the DALYs rate of dengue fever appeared a tendency towards a rise in 84.67% (232/274) of cities (counties) in China from 2005 to 2024, and the per capita economic burden appeared a tendency towards a rise in 85.40% (234/274) of cities (counties), while the DALYs rate and per capita economic burden of dengue fever appeared a tendency towards a rise in 77.01% (211/274) of cities (counties). Conclusions The disease burden of dengue fever significantly increased in China from 2005 to 2024. It is recommended to reinforce integrated dengue fever control in high-risk areas and among high-risk populations, and to improve the surveillance of imported dengue fever cases and vector control.

AIM:To evaluate the efficacy of inflix-imab in the maintenance of Perianal fstulizing Crohn's disease.METHODS:The clinical data of 24 patients with perianal fistula Crohn's disease(PFCD)treated with infliximab(IFX)in the Depart-ment of Anorectal Surgery of our hospital from No-vember 2020 to October 2023 were retrospectively collected.The clinical efficacy and safety were eval-uated by observing the clinical characteristics for 54 weeks.The fistula remission rate,clinical remis-sion rate,and endoscopic remission rate of pa-tients were calculated.The changes of laboratory indexes before and after treatment were recorded.Logistic regression was used to analyze the related factors of fistula remission.All adverse reactions oc-curred during IFX treatment were recorded.RE-SULTS:After 54 weeks of IFX treatment,the fistula remission rate,clinical remission rate,and endo-scopic remission rate were 37.5％,45.83％,and 33.33％,respectively.Fistula response at 14 weeks of treatment(OR=19.419,95％CI:1.267-297.559,P=0.033)was predictive factors for fistula remission at 54 weeks of treatment.The inflammatory index-es and nutritional indexes were significantly im-proved compared with those before treatment(P＜0.01).The scores of PDAI,CDAI and SES-CD were significantly different from those before treatment(P＜0.01).Five patients(20.83％)had adverse reac-tions,and the symptoms disappeared or improved after symptomatic treatment,and no patient had serious adverse reactions.CONCLUSION:IFX can ef-fectively promote the closure of PFCD fistula,im-prove the chronic inflammatory reaction of intesti-nal mucosa,alleviate clinical symptoms,and im-prove the quality of life of patients.IFX is effective and safe for PFCD maintenance treatment.

AIM: To investigate the effect of Qiteng Xiaozhuo granule on inflammation indexes in rats with chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN) through miR-339-5p. METHODS: CGN model was established by adriamycin (ADR) injection into tail vein of rats. Qiteng Xiaozhu granules (21.6, 10.8, 5.4 g/kg) of different doses were intragastric-fed for 30 days. Pathological changes in kidney tissues of CGN rats were observed by HE staining and electron microscopy. The contents of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-α in serum and kidney tissue of CGN rats were detected by qRT-PCR, ELISA and Western blot. Relative expressions of miR-339-5p, Syk and p-Syk proteins were detected by Western blot, the relative expressions of miR-339-5p mRNA and Syk mRNA were detected by qRT-PCR. RESULTS: There were thickening of basement membrane and glomerular atrophy in the model group. Compared with the normal group, the expression of miR-339-5p and IL-10 in the model group was significantly down-regulated, while the expression of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and Syk was significantly up-regulated. Qiteng Xiaozhuo granule group could significantly reduce the protein and mRNA expression levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, Syk in kidney tissue.CONCLUSION: Qiteng Xiaozhuo granule may down-regulate the expression of inflammatory factors through miR-339-5p in the treatment of inflammatory symptoms in CGN rats.

Objective To evaluate the role of the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium (mitoKATP) channel in reduction of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury by calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in rats in an in vitro experiment.Methods Healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 250-300 g,were used in this study.After the animals were anesthetized,their hearts were immediately removed and retrogradely perfused with oxygenated K-H solution at 37 ℃ in a Langendorff apparatus.Twenty-four isolated rat hearts were assigned into 4 groups (n =6 each) using a random number table:control group (C group),I/R group,CGRP group and 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD) group.The hearts were first perfused with K-H solution for 30 min in the three groups.The hearts were continuously perfused with K-H solution for 150 min in group C.The hearts were subjected to ischemia for 30 min followed by 120 min of reperfusion to establish the model of myocardial I/R injury.In group CGRP,after the hearts were perfused with K-H solution for 10 min,10-8 mol/L CGRP was infused for 20 min at a rate of 0.5 ml/min via the aorta,and then the model of myocardial I/R injury was established.In 5-HD group,specific mito-KATP channel blocker 5-HD 100 μmol/L was infused for 10 min at a rate of 0.5 ml/nin via the aorta,and the other treatments were similar to those previously described in CGRP group.At the end of equilibration and 30,60,90 and 120 min of reperfusion,heart rate (HR),left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP),left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) and the maximum rate of increase or decrease in left ventricular pressure (±dp/dtmax) were recorded.The myocardial infarct size was measured by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining at 120 min of reperfusion.Results Compared with C group,HR,LVSP and ±dp/dtmax were significantly decreased and LVEDP was increased during reperfusion,and the percentage of myocardial infarct size was increased at 120 min of reperfusion in the other three groups (P＜0.05).Compared with I/R group,HR,LVSP and ±dp/dtmax were significantly increased and LVEDP was decreased during reperfusion,and the percentage of nyocardial infarct size was decreased at 120 min of reperfusion in CGRP group (P＜0.05).Compared with CGRP group,HR,LVSP and ±dp/dtmax were significantly decreased and LVEDP was increased during reperfusion,and the percentage of myocardial infarct size was increased at 120 min of reperfusion in 5-HD group (P＜0.05).Conclusion Opening of mito-KATP channels is involved in CGRP-iuduced reduction of myocardial I/R injury in rats in an in vitro experiment.

Objective To investigate whether the bilateral nipple discharge with the background of hypothyroidism and pituitary tumor causes intraductal neoplasm. Methods Clinical data of 222 bilateral nipple discharge patients with hypothyroidism or pituitary tumor undergoing mammary ductoseopy (MDS) examination were analyzed. Those diagnosed as intraductal papilloma received surgery and pathological exam. 158 cases with inflammatory comedomastitis diagnosed by MDS received milk duct washing with gentamycin, dexamethasone and corresponding medical treatment. Results Among the 222 cases, 158 cases(71.17%) were diagnosed as inflammatory comedomastitis by MDS, 64 cases (28.83%) were diagnosed as intraduetal papilloma (64/222) by MDS and received operation,59 cases were pathologically diagnosed as intraductal papilloma,the other 5 cases were pathologically diagnosed as mammary duct ectasia. The pathological coincidence was 92.2% and no breast cancer was observed. 68.10% of inflammatory comedomastitis cases suffered from breast pain. There were no significant difference in the disease distribution of the ethnic groups. During pre-menopause period, the incidence of period neoplasia is higher in pituitary tumor than hypothyroidism; However, during the post-menopause the situation was vice versa. The color of niplle discharge is mostly milk-like in patients with pituitary tumor, while serous in patients with hypothyroidism. 71.19% of duct papilloma locate at the branch of the main duct. Conclusion The bilateral nipple discharge with hypothyroidism or pituitary are usually concomitant with intraduetal lesions. Mammary ductosopy is helpful to discover intraduetal neoplasia.
