In 2022, Hainan provincial government launched the project for the prevention and control of viral hepatitis with the goals of a hepatitis B screening rate of 90%, a diagnostic rate of 90%, and a treatment rate of 80% among people aged 18 years and above by the year 2025, and the main intervention measures include population-based prevention, case screening, antiviral therapy, and health management. As of December 31, 2024, a total of 6.875 million individuals in the general population had been screened for hepatitis B, with a screening rate of 95.6%. A total of 184 710 individuals with positive HBsAg were identified, among whom 156 772 were diagnosed through serological reexamination, resulting in a diagnostic rate of 84.9%. A total of 50 742 patients with chronic hepatitis B were identified, among whom 42 921 had hepatitis B-specific health records established for health management, with a file establishment rate of 84.6%. A total of 31 553 individuals received antiviral therapy, with a treatment rate of 62.2%. A total of 2.503 million individuals at a high risk of hepatitis C were screened, among whom 4 870 tested positive for HCV antibody and 3 858 underwent HCV RNA testing, resulting in a diagnostic rate of 79.2%, and 1 824 individuals with positive HCV RNA were identified, among whom 1 194 received antiviral therapy, with a treatment rate of 65.5%. In addition, 159 301 individuals with negative HBsAg and anti-HBs and an age of 20 — 40 years were inoculated with hepatitis B vaccine free of charge. Through the implementation of the project for the prevention and control of viral hepatitis, a large number of hepatitis patients have been identified, treated, and managed in the province within a short period of time, which significantly accelerates the efforts to eliminate the crisis of viral hepatitis.

Objective:To explore the impact of CACNA1C rs58619945 genotype on the cortical thickness of attentional networks in patients with Bipolar 1 disorder type (BD-Ⅰ). Methods:From August 2013 and August 2019, a total of 155 BD-Ⅰ patients were recruited from the outpatient and inpatient Departments of the Affiliated Brain Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, along with 82 healthy controls (HC) from the community and university. Genotype for the CACNA1C rs58619945 locus was determined for all BD-I patients and HC subjects, followed by 3.0 T magnetic resonance imaging scans to measure the cortical thickness in the alert, orienting, and executive control subnetworks. General linear models (GLMs) were used to evaluate the impact of CACNA1C rs58619945 on the cortical thickness of attentional networks. Concurrently, attentional dimension functions were assessed using repeatable battery for the assessment of neuropsychological status (RBANS) and Cambridge neuropsychological test automated battery rapid visual information processing (CANTAB RVP) test. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Affiliated Brain Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University(Ethics No. 2023-056). Results:Compared with the HC group, the BD-Ⅰ patients had shown reduced thickness in bilateral prefrontal cortex, bilateral posterior cingulate cortex, and bilateral superior temporal cortex( P<0.05). A significant interaction between the CACNA1C genotype and the cortical thickness(HC vs.BD) of right prefrontal cortex, right posterior parietal cortex and right superior temporal cortex was noted( P<0.05). Partial correlation analysis has demonstrated a significant correlation between CANTAB RVP and RBANS attention indices and cortical thickness in the right prefrontal cortex, right posterior cingulate cortex( P<0.05), and right superior temporal cortex predominantly among carriers of the BD-Ⅰ G allele. Conclusion:The G allele of CACNA1C rs58619945 is associated with cortical thickness of the right prefrontal cortex, right posterior cingulate cortex, and right superior temporal cortex in BD-Ⅰ, which are part of the alerting and orienting network.

Objective:To analyze the monitoring results of iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) in Hainan Province from 2011 to 2023, key prevention and control measures taken during this period, and the impact of related events on the monitoring results.Methods:From 2011 to 2023, a systematic sampling method was used to divide 21 cities (districts, counties) in Hainan Province into 5 districts based on east, west, south, north, and center each year. One township (street) was selected from each district, and 40 children aged 8 - 10 (non boarding students) and 20 pregnant women were selected from each township (street) for determination of iodine level of their household salt and urine samples. Based on the monitoring results, the impact of key events such as the pre reduction (2011), post reduction (implementation of new iodized salt standard, 2012 - 2023), salt industry system reform (2017), and the two-year campaign for endemic disease prevention and control (2019, 2000), on the salt iodine coverage rate and qualified iodized salt consumption rate, the urinary iodine level and its distribution in children and pregnant women were analyzed in Hainan Province. B-ultrasound was used to detect the situation of thyroid enlargement was analyzed.Results:(1) In 2011, the median iodine level in edible salt of residents in Hainan Province was 32.1 mg/kg. It was 30.8 mg/kg after the implementation of the new standard in 2012. In 2013, the salt iodine level of residents had significantly decreased to 25.9 mg/kg, with 24.5, 24.2, and 23.8 mg/kg in 2017, 2019, and 2020, respectively. The differences of median salt iodine levels between different years were statistically significant ( H = 29.01, P < 0.001). The coverage rate of iodized salt among residents in Hainan Province from 2011 to 2023 was 98.08% (80 727/82 308), and the difference between different years was statistically significant (χ 2 = 9.51, P = 0.023). The consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 95.65% (78 738/82 308), and the difference between different years was statistically significant (χ 2 = 21.80, P < 0.001). (2) The median urinary iodine level of children from 2011 to 2023 was 177.5 μg/L, with a median of 204.2 μg/L in 2011. After the implementation of the new standard, the median urinary iodine level of children was 194.9 μg/L in 2012. In 2013, the median urinary iodine level in children decreased to 167.8 μg/L, and had remained within the range of 100 - < 200 μg/L thereafter. In 2017, 2019, and 2020, the median urinary iodine levels were 170.4, 172.8, and 186.3 μg/L, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in different years ( H = 1.67, P = 0.061). The proportion of children with urinary iodine < 100 μg/L from 2011 to 2023 was 16.29% (8 740/53 634), and the proportion of children with urinary iodine between 100 and < 200 μg/L was 43.96% (23 575/53 634). The differences between different years were statistically significant (χ 2 = 21.50, 23.40, P < 0.001). The childhood goiter rate from 2011 to 2023 was 0.19% (101/53 634). (3) The median urinary iodine level of pregnant women was 153 μg/L in 2011, it was 154.7 μg/L in 2012 after the implementation of the new standard, and it had remained within the range of 100 - < 150 μg/L since then. The median urinary iodine level of pregnant women was 126.2 μg/L in 2013. The median urinary iodine level in 2017, 2019 and 2020 were 123.5, 133.8, and 135.4 μg/L, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference in the median urinary iodine levels of pregnant women between different years ( H = 92.10, P < 0.001). From 2011 to 2023, the proportion of pregnant women with a median urinary iodine level < 150 μg/L was the highest (55.75%, 14 761/26 477). Conclusion:From 2011 to 2023, although the monitoring results of iodine deficiency disorders in children and pregnant women in Hainan Province have fluctuated, they are still in a state of continuous elimination of IDD.

In May 2024, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued a position paper on the dengue vaccines, focusing on the newly licensed TAK-003 vaccine. WHO recommends that this vaccine be included in routine immunization schedules in areas of high-intensity dengue transmission, targeting children aged 6-16 years 1-2 years before the peak age of onset of dengue-related hospitalized cases, using a vaccination regimen with a two-dose interval of at least 3 months. Due to limited safety data, the vaccine is not recommended for specific populations such as pregnant women, lactating women, immunocompromised individuals, and symptomatic HIV-infected persons. The document also notes that the TAK-003 vaccine shows good safety and effectiveness in seropositive persons, but may not confer protection against DENV3 and DENV4 in seronegative vaccine recipients. The potential risk of severe dengue cannot be ruled out if seronegative persons are exposed to DENV3 and DENV4 based on currently available data. Additionally, the document mentions that the cost-effectiveness of the TAK-003 vaccine may vary with transmission intensity and age at vaccination, necessitating evaluation in different transmission settings. Currently, there is no data on the use of booster doses, therefore a booster dose is not recommended. Finally, the document notes that the TAK-003 vaccine can be given concurrently with yellow fever and hepatitis A vaccines, and that studies of concurrent vaccination with HPV vaccine are ongoing, which opens up more possibilities for future dengue vaccination strategies.

Abstract:Objective To evaluate the basic development status of public health emergencies of infectious diseases in Hainan Province from 2013 to 2022, analyze the distribution and characteristics of these emergencies, as to provide important scientific basis for the study and formulation of economic health development planning policies, for the health security policies and infectious disease prevention and control strategies in Hainan Province. Methods The relevant statistical data of public health emergencies involving infectious diseases reported in Hainan Province from 2013 to 2022 were collected, and the status quo of these emergencies was analyzed by using descriptive data statistical analysis method. The ARIMA model was used to predict the number of public health emergencies reported by infectious diseases in Hainan Province from 2023 to 2025. Results From 2013 to 2022, a total of 482 public health emergencies were reported in Hainan Province, of which 426 were infectious disease public health emergencies, accounting for 88.38%, with a total of 8 876 cases, an incidence rate of 0.61%, and eight deaths, a case fatality rate of 0.09%. The major public health emergencies of infectious diseases were unclassified events and general events, accounting for 69.25% and 29.58%, respectively. The main diseases were novel coronavirus infection, chickenpox and hand, foot and mouth disease, accounting for 45.07%, 15.49% and 11.97%, respectively; in terms of time distribution, the number of reported incidents showed an upward trend over time, with a decline in 2021, and mainly had three peak periods, April, August and December, with a total of 220 cases reported; in terms of regional distribution, the major cities and counties reported were Haikou, Wanning and Wenchang, accounting for 27.46%, 19.25% and 9.86%, respectively; in terms of location distribution, the events mainly occurred in schools, accounting for 42.02% of the total number of incidents. The ARIMA(1, 1, 0) model was used to predict infectious disease public health emergencies, and the results showed that the forecast state would be stable from 2023 to 2025, with no obvious upward trend, that is, the fluctuation range of public health emergencies related to infectious diseases in Hainan Province would be stable in the next three years. Conclusion The number of infectious disease public health emergencies reported in Hainan Province from 2013 to 2022 has increased year by year, with a decline in 2021. Although the forecast shows that public health emergencies such as infectious diseases are relatively stable with no obvious upward trend, the prevention and control of the epidemic should not be taken lightly. Hainan Province should continue to increase the investment in monitoring public health emergencies, improve the information system of public disease prevention and control, and carry out real-time monitoring of public health emergencies of infectious diseases.

Objective To develop a kind of heated medical elastic stockings to prevent the occurrence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and hypothermia in patients with lumbar degenerative diseases undergoing posterior lumbar intervertebral fusion (PLIF).Methods A total of 180 patients with lumbar degenerative diseases undergoing PLIF from February 2015 to August 2017 were selected by purposive sampling method, and divided into routine group (group A), normal elastic stockings (group B), heated medical elastic stockings (group C) according to the sequence of operation time, with 60 cases in each group. On the premise of routine thermal protection measures and DVT basic preventive measures, group A did not wear stretch socks, group B wore normal elastic stockings, and group C wore heated medical elastic stockings. Patients in the group B and C were treated with normal and heated stretch stockings during anesthesia preparation 1 hour prior to surgery. The incidence rate of lower extremity DVT and hypothermia in each group was calculated by monitoring deep veins blood flow velocity of both lower limbs, D-dimer, foot temperature and the core temperature at each time node during the operation.Results In group C: left femoral superficial vein velocity was (17.47±3.07) cm/s; right femoral superficial vein velocity was (16.95±3.25) cm/s; left popliteal vein blood flow velocity was (16.03± 3.37) cm/s; right popliteal vein blood flow velocity was (16.37±3.39) cm/s. All the results above were higher than those in group A and B (P<0.01). The D-dimer were (587±129) μg/L at the end of surgery and (392± 119)μg/L 24 h after surgery in group C, which were significantly lower than group A and B (P<0.01). The incidence of DVT at the end of operation and 24 hour postoperation in group A was 8.3% and 15.0%, while 5.0% and 5.0% in group B respectively. There was no DVT occurrence in group C at the two time points, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). Comparing foot temperature and core temperature of each time point, it was significantly higher in group C than group A and B (P<0.05). There were 8 cases of hypothermia in group C, and the incidence rate was 12.5%, which were both significantly lower than that in group A (56.7%) and group B (40.0%) (P<0.01).Conclusions The heated elastic stockings can effectively reduce the risk of DVT and hypothermia in the patients with lumbar degenerative diseases undergoing PLIF and can be popularized in clinical practice.
