Objective:To construct a risk assessment system for measles transmission in Henan Province and scientifically evaluate the risk levels of measles transmission in each city in Henan Province.Methods:The modified Delphi method was used to conduct two rounds of expert consultations to construct a risk assessment system for measles transmission. Data from all 191 cities, counties and districts in Henan Province were collected. The internal consistency (Cronbach′s α), content validity (content validity index, CVI) and structural validity (factor analysis) of the indicator system were evaluated to optimize the assessment framework. The indicator assignment method was adopted, and the comprehensive risk scores were obtained by adding the scores according to different weights. Results:Both rounds of consultation witnessed a 100% participation rate among all experts. The authority coefficients of experts in the two rounds were 0.920 and 0.925, and concordance coefficients were 0.201 ( χ 2=161.11, P<0.001) and 0.210 ( χ 2=163.80, P<0.001). The constructed assessment system comprised four dimensions—population immunity levels, surveillance quality, importation risk, and technical reserve of emergency response capacities—with a total of 30 indicators. Reliability analysis of the assessment system showed an overall Cronbach′s α of 0.741. Validity analysis revealed that all content validity indices reached 1.000, with principal factors cumulatively accounting for 67.625% of the variance, and all factor loadings exceeded 0.400. The measles transmission risk assessment in Henan Province using this assessment system identified Zhengzhou (92), Xinxiang (91), Xinyang (89), and Pingdingshan (73) as high-risk regions. Conclusion:The risk assessment system developed in this study demonstrates good reliability and validity, effectively reflecting measles transmission risks across Henan Province. The findings highlight the need to strengthen surveillance and control measures in high-risk areas, particularly in Zhengzhou.

In February 2025, a local cluster outbreak caused by the D8 genotype Measles virus (MV) was first discovered in Henan Province. Epidemiological investigations and laboratory testing were conducted, including the collection of serum and throat swabs for MV IgM antibody and nucleic acid detection, virus isolation and genetic homology analysis. Measures such as close contact tracing, vaccination rate assessment and supplementary immunization activities were implemented, successfully preventing broader community transmission. A total of three cases were reported during the outbreak, including one imported-related adolescent and two secondary local adult cases. All cases presented with typical symptoms such as fever and rash. Both adult cases were complicated by pneumonia, with one case developing into severe pneumonia. MV genotyping showed that the two secondary cases were both the D8 genotype, with the viral sequences being completely homologous to the Kazakhstan strain. Among the close contacts, 98.2% were adults, and 142 individuals received emergency vaccination.

Objective To compare the efficacy and complications of early transabdominal preperitoneal patch (TAPP) implantation and open tension-free repair in the treatment of adult inguinal hernia .Methods 84 adult patients with inguinal hernia were divided into two groups by random number table ,and 42 cases in each group .The control group was given Lichtenstein technique ,while the observation group underwent TAPP .The surgery situation, postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) scores,postoperative morbidity and recurrence rate were compared between the two groups.Results The operative time,ambulation time,average length staying hospital and postoperative VAS scores of the observation group were (42.21 ±3.13) min,(1.13 ±0.21) d,(4.28 ±0.62) d and (2.28 ±0.22) points,which were significantly less than (65.72 ±3.62)min,(2.03 ±0.30)d,(7.87 ±0.83)d and (4.56 ±0.31) points of the control group(t=7.29,8.02,8.32,9.29,all P<0.05).The incidence rate of postoperative complica-tions and recurrence rate of the observation group were 11.90% and 2.38%,which were significantly lower than 26.19%and 16.66%of the control group(χ2 =12.52,14.39,all P<0.05).Conclusion The effect of TAPP in the treatment of adult inguinal hernia is remarkable ,and it is safe and minimally invasive ,which is easy to operate ,it has low recurrence rate ,rapid postoperative recovery and has better clinical value .
