Objective To analyze the current status of human papillomavirus(HPV) vaccination among women aged 9-45 years in Chaoyang District of Beijing, and to provide a basis for further promoting population vaccination.Methods The HPV vaccination(including HPV2, HPV4 and HPV9) data among women aged 9-45 in Chaoyang District of Beijing as of December 31, 2024 in Beijing's immunization planning information system were derived, and the estimated HPV vaccination rate in Beijing's female population was obtained by data analysis.Results By December 31, 2024, the estimated first dose vaccination rate of HPV vaccine among women aged 9-45 years in Chaoyang District of Beijing had been 50. 88%, and the estimated full dose vaccination rate was 48. 66%. The estimated coverage of the first dose and the full dose among girls aged9-15 years was 4. 62% and 2. 87%, respectively. The estimated full dose coverage rate was 62. 73% in subdistrict and 37. 33%in district.Conclusion The estimated HPV vaccination rate of 9-45-year-old women in Chaoyang District of Beijing is higher than that in other regions of China, but the estimated vaccination rate of adolescent women aged 9-15 is significantly lower than that of other age groups. It is recommended to improve the HPV vaccination rate through multiple joint efforts to achieve the action goal of accelerating the elimination of cervical cancer in China and the world as soon as possible.

To explore the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） and integrative TCM-Western medicine approaches in the treatment of diabetic microvascular complications （DMC）， refine key pathophysiological insights and treatment principles， and promote academic innovation and strategic research planning in the prevention and treatment of DMC. The 38th session of the Expert Salon on Diseases Responding Specifically to Traditional Chinese Medicine， hosted by the China Association of Chinese Medicine， was held in Beijing， 2024. Experts in TCM， Western medicine， and interdisciplinary fields convened to conduct a systematic discussion on the pathogenesis， diagnostic and treatment challenges， and mechanism research related to DMC， ultimately forming a consensus on key directions. Four major research recommendations were proposed. The first is addressing clinical bottlenecks in the prevention and control of DMC by optimizing TCM-based evidence evaluation systems. The second is refining TCM core pathogenesis across DMC stages and establishing corresponding "disease-pattern-time" framework. The third is innovating mechanism research strategies to facilitate a shift from holistic regulation to targeted intervention in TCM. The fourth is advancing interdisciplinary collaboration to enhance the role of TCM in new drug development， research prioritization， and guideline formulation. TCM and integrative approaches offer distinct advantages in managing DMC. With a focus on the diseases responding specifically to TCM， strengthening evidence-based support and mechanism interpretation and promoting the integration of clinical care and research innovation will provide strong momentum for the modernization of TCM and the advancement of national health strategies.

Kidney transplantation is the most ideal treatment method for end-stage renal disease, significantly improving the survival rate and quality of life of patients. However, as the postoperative survival period gradually lengthens, chronic diseases have become the main obstacle affecting the long-term outcome of kidney transplantation. These chronic diseases have a high incidence, involve multiple organs and significantly impact prognosis. The core driving factors are mainly related to long-term immunosuppressive therapy. This article systematically discusses the occurrence mechanisms, prevention and treatment strategies, and classification management of common chronic diseases after kidney transplantation (mainly including chronic graft dysfunction, cardiovascular diseases, infections, malignant tumors, bone metabolism disorders, etc.). At the same time, it explores future development directions such as precision medicine, new immune modulators and remote management, emphasizing a comprehensive management model centered on "multidisciplinary collaboration + individualized treatment + continuous monitoring" to achieve long-term, systematic, and dynamic prevention and treatment of chronic diseases for kidney transplant recipients.

To summarise the clinical experience of Professor CHAO Enxiang in treating idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis （IPH） by staging from heat， phlegm， stasis and deficiency. It is believed that IPH has blood-heat and phlegm-stasis， and deficiency of qi and yin as the core pathomechanisms， in which the pathomechanism of acute pulmonary haemorrhage is based on intense blood heat， and modified Shihui Powder （十灰散） is used to clear heat and regulate ying qi （nutrient qi）， and reduce fire to settle the collaterals. The pathomechanism of pulmonary haemorrhage in the static stage is based on phlegm-heat obstructing the lungs， and modified Qingfei Dingke Decoction （清肺定咳汤） is used to clear the lungs and dissolve phlegm， harmonize the collaterals to stop haemorrhage. The pathomechanism of acute exacerbation at chronic stage is based on deficiency of qi and yin， and also blood-heat and phlegm-stasis， modified Shengmai Powder （生脉散）， Shihui Powder plus Qingfei Dingke Decoction should be used to benefit qi and nourish yin， clear heat， resolve phlegm and eliminate blood stasis. In the chronic prolongation period， the pathogenesis of the disease is based on the deficiency of qi and yin， modified Shengmai Powder may be used to benefit qi and nourish yin， moisten the lungs and rest blood.

Objective: To summarize the long-term efficacy and safety of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) in treating refractory interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS)，so as to provide clinical evidence for this therapeutic approach. Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed the data of 27 patients with refractory IC/BPS treated at our hospital during Jan.2015 and Dec.2021.All patients underwent SNM Ⅱ.The therapeutic effects were evaluated with Global Response Assessment (GRA).The preoperative and postoperative daily urinary frequency，nocturia frequency，functional bladder capacity，O'Leary-Sant score，pelvic pain，urgency and frequency (PUF) score，quality of life (QoL) score，and visual analogue scale (VAS) score were compared. Results: During the follow-up of (55.55±16.33) months，12 patients showed no symptom relief (GRA≤4)，while 15 experienced symptom relief (GRA>4)，resulting in an efficacy rate of 55.56% (15/27).The average daily urination frequency decreased from (28.74±13.84) to (24.74±16.33) times,the O'Leary-Sant score decreased from (30.19±5.35) to (25.63±9.34)，PUF score decreased from (25.63±5.34) to (22.04±8.29)，QoL score decreased from (5.67±0.55) to (4.33±1.57)，and VAS score decreased from (8.04±1.91) to (5.33±3.09)，the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). No complications such as incision infections or pain at the implant site were observed. Conclusion: SNM is safe and effective for refractory IC/BPS，but there is a risk of long-term failure.Therefore，patients should be discreetly selected.

ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the public health governance capacity of 40 cities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui Provinces, providing a scientific evaluation basis for building a "Healthy Yangtze River Delta". MethodsA comprehensive collection of policy documents, public information reports, and research literature related to public health governance capacity in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui Provinces was conducted, totaling 6 920 policy documents, 1 720 information reports, and 1 200 literature pieces. Based on the evaluation standards for an appropriate public health system established by the research team, the basic status of public health governance capacity was assessed to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the 40 cities. ResultsIn 2022, the public health governance capacity score for the 40 cities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui Provinces was (562.5±38.0) points. In terms of specific areas, the emergency response field received the highest score of (791.4±49.7) points, while the chronic disease prevention and control field received the lowest score of (368.2±29.6) points. The Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Anhui region has largely achieved the strategic priority of health, gradually improved public health legal regulations, and established a basic organizational framework with a solid foundation for information and data infrastructure. However, challenges still need to be addressed, such as unstable government funding for public health, unclear departmental responsibilities, and barriers to information interoperability. ConclusionThe public health governance capacity of the 40 cities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui Province has been at a moderate level, but disparities have still existed across regions and fields. In the future, while continuing to deepen existing advantages, it is essential to accurately identify the causes of problems, establish a long-term and stable investment mechanism, enhance information connectivity mechanisms, further clarify departmental responsibilities, and promote the achievement of the "Healthy Yangtze River Delta" goal.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of our study was to evaluate the vaccine effectiveness (VE) of the pentavalent rotavirus vaccine (RV5) among < 5-year-old children in three provinces of China during 2020-2024 via a propensity score-matched test-negative case-control study. METHODS: Electronic health records and immunization information systems were used to obtain data on acute gastroenteritis (AGE) cases tested for rotavirus (RV) infection. RV-positive cases were propensity score matched with RV-negative controls for age, visit month, and province. RESULTS: The study included 27,472 children with AGE aged 8 weeks to 4 years at the time of AGE diagnosis; 7.98% (2,192) were RV-positive. The VE (95% confidence interval, CI) of 1-2 and 3 doses of RV5 against any medically attended RV infection (inpatient or outpatient) was 57.6% (39.8%, 70.2%) and 67.2% (60.3%, 72.9%), respectively. Among children who received the 3rd dose before turning 5 months of age, 3-dose VE decreased from 70.4% (53.9%, 81.1%) (< 5 months since the 3rd dose) to 63.0% (49.1%, 73.0%) (≥ 1 year since the 3rd dose). The three-dose VE rate was 69.4% (41.3%, 84.0%) for RVGE hospitalization and 57.5% (38.9%, 70.5%) for outpatient-only medically attended RVGE. CONCLUSION Three-dose RV5 VE against rotavirus gastroenteritis (RVGE) in children aged < 5 years was higher than 1-2-dose VE. Three-dose VE decreased with time since the 3rd dose in children who received the 3rd dose before turning five months of age, but remained above 60% for at least one year. VE was higher for RVGE hospitalizations than for medically attended outpatient visits.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between serum chloride levels and prognosis in patients with hepatic coma in the intensive care unit (ICU). METHODS: We analyzed 545 patients with hepatic coma in the ICU from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database. Associations between serum chloride levels and 28-day and 1-year mortality rates were assessed using restricted cubic splines (RCSs), Kaplan-Meier (KM) curves, and Cox regression. Subgroup analyses, external validation, and mechanistic studies were also performed. RESULTS: A total of 545 patients were included in the study. RCS analysis revealed a U-shaped association between serum chloride levels and mortality in patients with hepatic coma. The KM curves indicated lower survival rates among patients with low chloride levels (< 103 mmol/L). Low chloride levels were independently linked to increased 28-day and 1-year all-cause mortality rates. In the multivariate models, the hazard ratio ( HR) for 28-day mortality in the low-chloride group was 1.424 (95% confidence interval [ CI]: 1.041-1.949), while the adjusted hazard ratio for 1-year mortality was 1.313 (95% CI: 1.026-1.679). Subgroup analyses and external validation supported these findings. Cytological experiments suggested that low chloride levels may activate the phosphorylation of the NF-κB signaling pathway, promote the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and reduce neuronal cell viability. CONCLUSION Low serum chloride levels are independently associated with increased mortality in patients with hepatic coma.

Occupational noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is an irreversible sensorineural hearing loss that severely endangers workers’ health, making early screening crucial. This article reviewed the research progress on early screening methods for occupational NIHL, introduced the testing mechanisms of three core screening methods—tympanometry, otoacoustic emissions, and extended high-frequency audiometry —and summarized their clinical application advantages and limitations. It is proposed that multimodal combined detection (e.g., the combination of tympanometry, otoacoustic emissions, and extended high-frequency audiometry) can significantly improve the accuracy and comprehensiveness of early screening. Meanwhile, future studies with prospective cohort design are encouraged to verify the long-term monitoring value of each method and to strengthen the joint development of screening technologies with cutting-edge approaches such as machine learning, in order to further improve screening efficiency and provide stronger protection for workers’ hearing health.

Objective: To investigate the effect of loss of function of lanosterol synthase( LSS) gene on intestinal function in a mouse model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease( NAFLD) induced by a high-fat diet． Methods: LSS gene heterozygous knockout C57 mice ( LSS + / －) were established using the CRISRP / Cas9 system．After being fed a high-fat diet with 60% fat content for 6 months，the fat deposition in liver tissues was detected by HE and Oil red O staining，the morphological changes of small intestine tissue were detected by HE staining．The changes in total cholesterol content in intestinal tissue were detected by kits．The gastrointestinal motility function of mice was detected by phenol red paste．The intestinal permeability was detected by Evans blue staining，and the expression of LSS，tight junction protein ( Claudin) -1，Claudin-5，cluster of differentiation 36 ( CD36) ，and Niemann-Pick type C1-like 1 protein ( NPC1L1) proteins in small intestinal tissues were detected by Western blot． Results : The results of HE and Oil red O staining of liver tissues showed that liver fat deposition in LSS gene heterozygous knockout mice was lower than that in wild-type mice in the high-fat diet group．The total cholesterol content in intestinal tis- sue of LSS gene heterozygous knockout mice decreased ( P ＜0. 01) ，but no morphological differences were ob- served between the two groups of mice by HE staining of intestinal tissues．The gastrointestinal motility function of LSS gene heterozygous knockout mice did not show significant changes．The intestinal permeability of LSS gene het- erozygous knockout mice in the high-fat diet group decreased as detected by Evans blue ( P＜0. 05) ．The expres- sion levels of Claudin-5 protein in the intestinal tissue of LSS gene heterozygous knockout mice in the high-fat diet group increased ( P ＜0. 05 ) ，while the expression of LSS protein in the intestinal tissues of LSS heterozygous knockout mice decreased ( P ＜0. 05) ． Conclusion In the NAFLD model induced by a high-fat diet，LSS gene heterozygous knockout reduces liver fat deposition induced by a high-fat diet and improves intestinal barrier function by regulating cholesterol metabolism in intestinal tissues and up-regulating the expression of Claudin-5．
