Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a chronic recurrent inflammatory bowel disease, is associated with depression and anxiety. Intestinal inflammation increases susceptibility to psychiatric disorders through a multidimensional network of immune-inflammatory, neuroendocrine, intestinal flora, and intestinal barrier abnormalities. Conversely, psychiatric stress exacerbates the pathology of IBD through immune regulation, intestinal barrier disruption, and microenvironmental alterations. Therefore, it is important to explore the mechanisms of comorbidity between IBD and depression and anxiety to optimise clinical management. This article reviews the comorbid mechanisms of IBD and depression and anxiety from the perspectives of immune-inflammatory axis, intestinal flora-metabolic pathway, intestinal barrier dysfunction, and neuroendocrine regulation in the context of rodent models, and explore potential intervention strategies, with the aim of providing new ideas and targets for therapeutic and transformation research in this field.

Methods:
The data of scarlet fever cases in Jinhua City from 2005 to 2023 were collected from the China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention, and descriptive epidemiological method was used to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of scarlet fever. The average annual percent change (AAPC) was calculated to analyze the trend of scarlet fever incidence from 2005 to 2023. The spatial-temporal clustering of scarlet fever was identified using spatial autocorrelation analysis and space-time scanning analysis.
Results:
A total of 1 494 scarlet fever cases were reported in Jinhua City from 2005 to 2023, and the average annual reported incidence rate was 1.41/100 000, with no significant change trend (AAPC=1.706%, P>0.05). There were two incidence peaks, from April to June and from November to January of the next year. There were 937 males and 557 females, with a male to female ratio of 1.68∶1. The age was mainly <10 years (1 391 cases, 93.11%), of which 3-<7 years was the high incidence age group (936 cases, 62.65%). There were 1 466 cases of preschool children, students, and scattered children, accounting for 98.13%. The average annual reported incidence of scarlet fever in Dongyang City, Pujiang County, and Yongkang City was 4.58/100 000, 3.04/100 000, and 1.99/100 000, respectively. The spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that there was a positive spatial correlation between the incidence of scarlet fever in Jinhua City from 2005 to 2023 (Moran's I=0.579, P<0.05), and the high-high clustering areas were mainly distributed in Dongyang City and Pujiang County. The spatial-temporal scanning analysis showed that there were 8 spatial-temporal clustering areas of scarlet fever in Jinhua City from 2005 to 2023. The class Ⅰ clustering area was 9 towns in Dongyang City, and the clustering period was from August 2013 to December 2022. There were 7 class Ⅱ clusters, covering some streets in Pujiang County, Dongyang City, Yongkang City, Yiwu City, and Pan'an County.
Conclusions
From 2005 to 2023, the incidence of scarlet fever in Jinhua City was relatively low, and children aged 3-<7 years had a high incidence, and there was a spatiotemporal clustering. The peak incidence was from April to June and from November to January of the next year. Dongyang City, Pujiang County, and Yongkang City had high incidence areas.

Objective:
To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of leptospirosis in Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, from 2007 to 2024, so as to provide a basis for improving the prevention and control strategies of leptospirosis.
Methods:
Data pertaining to leptospirosis cases in Jinhua City from 2007 to 2024 were collected through the Monitoring and Reporting Management System of the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the distribution characteristics of leptospirosis in terms of time, region, population, interval from the onset of the disease to diagnosis and the outbreak of the epidemic.
Results:
A total of 81 cases of leptospirosis were reported in Jinhua City from 2007 to 2024, with an average annual reported incidence of 0.08/100 000. The peak incidence occurred from August to September, with 57 cases accounting for 70.37%. Leptospirosis cases were reported in 9 counties (cities, districts) in Jinhua City. Pan'an County reported the most cases, with 52 cases accounting for 64.20%. There were 54 male cases and 27 female cases, with a male-to-female ratio of 2∶1. The majority of cases were aged over 40 years, with 73 cases accounting for 90.12%. The average reported incidence of leptospirosis showed an upward trend with the increase of age (P<0.05), and the highest incidence of leptospirosis was at the 60-<80 age group (0.21/100 000). The majority of patients were farmers, with 77 cases accounting for 95.06%. The median interval from onset to diagnosis was 4.00 (interquartile range, 6.00) days. There were significant differences in the interval from onset to diagnosis among cases in Dongyang City compared with Pan'an County, Wuyi County, and Wucheng District, between Pan'an County and Jindong District, Wucheng District, and between Wuyi County and Wucheng District (all P<0.05). In 2007, one outbreak of leptospirosis was reported, which occurred in Jiuhe Township, Pan'an County, with 36 reported cases.
Conclusions
The reported incidence of leptospirosis in Jinhua City from 2007 to 2024 is generally low. The high-incidence period is from August to September, and Pan'an County is the high-incidence area. Males over 40 years and farmers are the key populations for prevention and control. It is recommended to strengthen epidemic surveillance and health education for high-risk populations.

Journal of Preventive Medicine 2025;37(11):1119-1123
Objective:
To investigate the value of the Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI) in predicting hypertension risk, so as to provide a tool for the early assessment of hypertension risk.
Methods:
Health examination individuals aged ≥18 years were selected from four medical institutes in Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province in 2022. Data on basic information, lifestyle, disease history, body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure, and blood biochemical indicators were collected through questionnaire surveys and physical examinations. CVAI was calculated to assess levels of visceral fat accumulation, divided by quartiles into Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 groups. The relationship between CVAI and hypertension was analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model, and their dose-response relationship was examined using a restricted cubic spline model. The value of CVAI in predicting hypertension risk was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
Results:
A total of 23 791 individuals were enrolled, with a median age of 68.00 (interquartile range, 14.00) years. Among them, 10 178 (42.78%) were males and 13 613 (57.22%) were females. The median CVAI was 111.40 (interquartile range, 48.23). Hypertension was identified in 15 563 cases, with a prevalence of 65.42%. After adjusting for lifestyle, disease history, and blood biochemical indicators, the multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that hypertension risk in the CVAI Q2, Q3, and Q4 groups were 2.012 (95%CI: 1.865-2.170), 3.059 (95%CI: 2.826-3.311), and 5.099 (95%CI: 4.672-5.565) times that of the Q1 group, respectively. The restricted cubic spline model revealed a non-linear relationship between CVAI and hypertension risk (Pnon linearity<0.05). Hypertension risk increased more rapidly when the CVAI was ≥81.03. The area under the ROC curve for CVAI in predicting hypertension risk was 0.691, with an optimal cutoff value of 106.01, which falls within the Q2 group.
Conclusions
There was a nonlinear dose-response relationship between CVAI and hypertension. CVAI can predict the risk of hypertension, and 106.01 can serve as an early warning threshold for risk screening.

OBJECTIVE To assess the correlation between the steady-state minimal concentration (cmin) and 24 h area under the drug concentration-time curve (AUC24)/minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) ratio (AUC24/MIC) of vancomycin in pediatric patients, and analyze independent risk factors for treatment failure. METHODS Data of hospitalized children treated with vancomycin and receiving therapeutic drug monitoring in our hospital from January 2021 to July 2024 were retrospectively collected and divided into success group and failure group according to whether the treatment was successful or not. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between cmin and AUC24/MIC of vancomycin, and one-way and multifactorial Logistic regression analyses were used to screen the independent risk factors for vancomycin treatment failure. RESULTS A total of 59 children were included, with 41 in the success group and 18 in the failure group. Compared with the failure group, AUC24/MIC of vancomycin was significantly higher in the success group (P=0.038), but there was no statistically significant difference in the cmin of the two groups (P>0.05); cmin of vancomycin was significantly positively correlated with AUC24/MIC (r=0.499, P<0.001), but it has a certain efficacy in predicting the achievement of the AUC24/MIC standard (≥400) (area under the receiver operator characteristic curve=0.696), with an optimal cutoff value of 6.05 mg/L determined by the Youden index. The efficacy of AUC24/ MIC in predicting treatment failure was superior to cmin (areas under the receiver operator characteristic curve were 0.671 vs. 0.523, P were 0.038 vs. 0.684), with higher sensitivity (83.3% vs. 66.7%). Hypoproteinemia and AUC24/MIC≤369.1 were independent risk factors for vancomycin treatment failure (P<0.05). The incidence of nephrotoxicity was 3.4%. CONCLUSIONS There is a significant positive correlation between cmin and AUC24/MIC of vancomycin in pediatric patients; hypoproteinemia and AUC24/MIC≤369.1 are independent risk factors for vancomycin treatment failure in children.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.
