Objective: To investigate the prevalence of hepatitis B and hepatitis C in Hotan Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, so as to provide insights into prevention and intervention strategies for viral hepatitis for these populations. Methods: Data on hepatitis B and hepatitis C cases in Hotan Prefecture from 2016 to 2022 were collected through the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. The temporal, demographic and regional distribution characteristics of hepatitis B and hepatitis C incidence were analyzed using the descriptively epidemiological method. The trends in the incidence of hepatitis B and hepatitis C from 2016 to 2022 were analyzed using average annual percent change (AAPC). Results: A total of 8 910 hepatitis B cases and 4 106 hepatitis C cases were reported in Hotan Prefecture from 2016 to 2022, with average annual incidences of 55.60/105 and 25.61/105, respectively. The average annual incidence of hepatitis B in males was 66.78/105, which was higher than that in females (43.83/105, P<0.05). The average annual incidence of hepatitis C in males was 25.70/105, while in females it was 25.36/105, with no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). With increasing age, the incidence of hepatitis B showed an "M"-shaped trend, with the highest average annual incidence in the age group of 20-<30 years (97.20/105); the incidence of hepatitis C first increased and then decreased, with the highest average annual incidence in the age group of 70-<80 years (102.50/105). The majority of the cases were farmers/migrant workers, with 5 610 (62.96%) and 2 963 cases (72.16%), respectively. The top three counties with higher average annual incidences of hepatitis B were Minfeng County (84.78/105), Karakax County (81.69/105) and Lop County (72.20/105), and the top three counties with higher average annual incidences of hepatitis C were Pishan County (46.92/105), Karakax County (35.62/105) and Hotan County (26.31/105). The incidences of hepatitis B and hepatitis C in Hotan Prefecture showed downward trends from 2016 to 2022 (AAPC=-10.711% and -16.594%, both P<0.05), with consistent trends observed in Hotan City, Hotan County, Pishan County and Qira County (all P<0.05). Conclusions From 2016 to 2022, the incidences of hepatitis B and hepatitis C in Hotan Prefecture both showed downward trends. Young and middle-aged adults, males, and farmers/migrant workers were the high-risk populations for hepatitis B, while middle-aged and elderly adults and farmers/migrant workers were the high-risk populations for hepatitis C.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC)is a malignant lesion originating from the oral mucosal squamous epithelium,account-ing for over 80％of oral and maxillofacial malignancies.Key etiological factors include tobacco,alcohol abuse,and betel quid chewing.In China,its incidence has shown an overall upward trend,posing a significant threat to public health.OSCC exhibits high local invasive-ness,making early diagnosis critical for improving prognosis.Its clinical management requires close multidisciplinary collaboration among oral and maxillofacial surgery,head and neck surgery,radiation oncology,medical oncology,reconstructive surgery,radiology,patholo-gy,and nutritional support teams.Given the increasing disease burden of OSCC and rapid development of multidisciplinary collaborative models,an expert panel has formulated this integrated management consensus based on evidence-based medicine and extensive deliber-ation.Centered on the'Prevention-Screening-Diagnosis-Treatment-Rehabilitation'framework,the consensus provides comprehensive guidance for the entire disease course of OSCC patients,aiming to standardize clinical practice.

Objective:To analyze the temporal trends of the incidence rate of tuberculosis (TB) in Shaanxi Province and provide a reference for WHO to control the prevalence of TB effectively.Methods:Joinpoint regression was used to analyze the trend of the incidence rate of TB in Shaanxi Province from 2004 to 2022, and the seasonal autoregressive moving average model was used to forecast the incidence rate of TB in Shaanxi Province to 2030.Results:The incidence rate of TB in Shaanxi Province decreased from 90.896/100 000 in 2004 to 35.364/100 000 in 2022, showing a general downward trend (AAPC=-7.72%, P<0.001). From 2014 to 2019, the reduction trend slowed down (APC=-0.69%, P=0.814), of which the largest decline occurred from 2019 to 2022 (APC=-13.26%, P=0.010). The predicted incidence rate of TB in Shaanxi Province from 2020 to 2022 was higher than the reported incidence rate, with the expected incidence rate of 51.342/100 000 in 2022 and 43.468/100 000 in 2030. Conclusion:The incidence rate of TB in Shaanxi Province shows a downward trend from 2004 to 2022, but the decline has shrunk in recent years. It is predicted that the downward trend will continue to slow down by 2030.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic in Hebei Province, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic. Methods Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of all COVID-19 cases reported in Hebei Province from January 22, 2020 to September 22, 2020. Results As of September 22, 2020, a total of 365 confirmed cases had been reported in Hubei Province, including 339 local confirmed cases and 26 imported cases, of which 18 were critical cases, 34 severe cases, and 6 deaths. Among the confirmed cases, 198 were males and 167 were females, with a male to female ratio of 1.19:1. The epidemic situation in Hebei Province can be divided into three stages: The first stage (January 22 to April 6) was dominated by imported cases from Hubei Province, with 318 reported cases, accounting for 87.12% of the total cases, and the mortality rate was 1.89%; The second stage (June 14 - July 25) was the spread caused by cases in Beijing Xinfadi market, with 21 cases reported, accounting for 5.75% of the total cases, and the mortality rate was 0%; The third stage (July 26 - September 22) was mainly imported cases from abroad, with 26 cases reported, accounting for 7.12% of the total cases, and the mortality rate was 0%. Conclusion The COVID-19 epidemic situation in Hebei Province has been under control. In view of the continuous spread of the epidemic situation in foreign countries, it is extremely important to strictly prevent the import of overseas epidemics and prevent the outbreak from rebounding.

Objective:To investigate the effects of TGF-β1 on T lymphocytes of BALB/c mice infected with Echinococcus granulosus( E.granulosus ) in vitro.Methods: The inhibitor group:the spleen cells of BALB/c mouse were co-cultured with E.granulosus and SB525334.The control group:the spleen cells of BALB/c mouse were co-cultured with E.granulosus and PBS.The blank group:the spleen cells of BALB/c mouse were co-cultured with RPMI-1640 medium and SB525334.The lymphocytes were collected at 48 h post-infection.The T lymphocyte subsets, the number of CD4+CD25+T cells, the number of NK cells, and the expression of NKG2D receptor were detected by flow cytometry.The NK cell activity was determined with the lactate dehydrogenase leakage assay(LDH).Results:The inhibition the TGF-β1 receptors resulted in the increase of in the number of CD4+T cells,the decrease in the number of CD8+T cells,the increase of in the ratio CD4+/CD8+T cells,the decrease of in the number of CD4+CD25+T cells,the increase in the expression of the NKG2D receptors,the increase in the lysis rate of Yac-1 cells by NK cells,and a positive cor-relation between the expression of activity receptor NKG2D and killing activity of NK, which were mediated by E.granulosus.Conclusion: The inhibition of TGF-β1 receptors can enhance the immune response of T lymphocytes against E.granulosus infection in vitro.
