Objective:The Fuxing Program was established in Zhuhai as an action plan to micro-eliminate hepatitis C in response to the World Health Organization's goal of eliminating hepatitis C by 2030. Therefore, the effectiveness of this program in terms of hepatitis C screening, treatment, follow-up, and other aspects is evaluated here.Methods:The "Fuxing Project" was established in May 2021 under the supervision of the Zhuhai Medical Quality Control Center for Infectious Diseases. A bridge was formed among the governmental entities, hospitals at all levels, and the community to train hepatitis C prevention and control strategies. Hepatitis C screening, publicity, and educational awareness were conducted in-and out-of-hospital. The responsibility for the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of a patient with hepatitis C was assigned to the staff. The screening and treatment rates of hepatitis C in hospitals before and after the initiation of the project were compared and analyzed using the χ2 test or Fisher's exact test. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and treatment status were investigated and analyzed among the general population, high-risk populations such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, drug addicts, and the population residing in supervised sites within Zhuhai communities, rural areas, schools, or factories. Results:Anti-HCV positivity rate (0.82% vs. 0.43%, P<0.001), HCV RNA detection rate (98.1% vs. 59.5%, P<0.001), HCV RNA detection positivity rate (52.56% vs. 29.76%, P<0.001), HCV RNA positivity rate (0.4% vs. 0.13%, P<0.001), and hepatitis C treatment rate (76.76% vs. 31.97%, P<0.001) were significantly higher among the inpatient population after the Fuxing Program initiation than before. The HCV RNA detection rate (58.52% vs. 6.93%, P<0.001) and HCV RNA detection positivity rate (77.72% vs. 29.41%, P<0.001) in Zhuhai were significantly higher after the Fuxing Program initiation than before. Anti-HCV positivity rate (0.46% vs. 1.28%, P=0.009) and HCV RNA (0.32% vs. 0.99%, P=0.03) were significantly lower in the Zhuhai general population of urban communities than those of the general population in rural areas. The HCV infection rate was more than three times higher in rural populations than in urban populations. Anti-HCV positivity rate, HCV RNA positivity rate, HCV RNA detection positivity rate, and hepatitis C treatment rates were 2.64% (31/1 175), 3.40% (69/2 022) and 94.4% (34/36), 2.64% (31/1 175), 2.72% (55/2 022), 50.00% (18/36), and 100% (31/31), 79.71% (55/69) and 52.94% (18/34), and 100% (31/31), 0 (0/55) and 55.55% (10/18) among the HIV infection, supervised population under supervised sites, and methadone maintenance treatment clinic population, respectively. Anti-HCV positivity rate (4.15% vs. 0.72%, P<0.001) and HCV RNA (3.22% vs. 0.53%, P<0.001) were significantly higher in the high-risk group than those in the general population, while the treatment rate of hepatitis C in the high-risk group (39.42% vs. 82.35%, P<0.01) was significantly lower than that of the general population. Conclusion:The establishment of the hospital grid linkage mechanism and the management model of hepatitis C follow-up by specialists, with the infectious diseases medical quality control center as the supervisory body, have improved the screening rate, the HCV RNA detection rate, and the treatment rate in the hospital, thereby providing a reference for exploring a management model to eliminate the nationwide threat of hepatitis C.

Cervical spinal cord injury without fracture-dislocation (CSCIWFD) is referred to as a special type of cervical spinal cord injury characterized by traumatic spinal cord dysfunction and no significant bony structural abnormalities on imagines. Duo to the high risk of missed diagnosis during the initial consultation, CSCIWFD may lead to progressive neurological deterioration or even complete paralysis, severely impacting patients′ prognosis. Currently, there are no established consensuses over the diagnosis and treatment of CSCIWFD, such as the lack of evidence-based standards for indications of non-surgical treatment and risk of secondary neurological injury, as well as debates over the optimal timing for surgical intervention and indications for different surgical approaches. To address these issues, the Spine Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the relevant fields to formulate Diagnosis and treatment guideline for acute cervical spinal cord injury without fracture- dislocation in adults ( version 2025) . Based on evidence-based medicine and the principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability, the guidelines proposed 11 recommendations covering terminology, diagnosis, evaluation treatment, and rehabilitation, etc., aiming to standardize the management of CSCIWFD.

Wastewater-based epidemiology has emerged as a transformative surveillance tool for estimating substance consumption and monitoring disease prevalence, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. It enables the population-level monitoring of illicit drug use, pathogen prevalence, and environmental pollutant exposure. In this perspective, we summarize the key challenges specific to the Chinese context: (1) Sampling inconsistencies, necessitating standardized 24-hour composite protocols with high-frequency autosamplers (≤ 15 min/event) to improve the representativeness of samples; (2) Biomarker validation, requiring rigorous assessment of excretion profiles and in-sewer stability; (3) Analytical method disparities, demanding inter-laboratory proficiency testing and the development of automated pretreatment instruments; (4) Catchment population dynamics, reducing estimation uncertainties through mobile phone data, flow-based models, or hydrochemical parameters; and (5) Ethical and data management concerns, including privacy risks for small communities, mitigated through data de-identification and tiered reporting platforms. To address these challenges, we propose an integrated framework that features adaptive sampling networks, multi-scale wastewater sample banks, biomarker databases with multidimensional metadata, and intelligent data dashboards. In summary, wastewater-based epidemiology offers unparalleled scalability for equitable health surveillance and can improve the health of the entire population by providing timely and objective information to guide the development of targeted policies.

Objective To investigate the attributable risk(AR)of Acinetobacter baumannii(AB)infection in criti-cally ill patients.Methods A multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted among adult patients in inten-sive care unit(ICU).Patients with AB isolated from sterile body fluid and confirmed with AB infection in each cen-ter were selected as the infected group.According to the matching criteria that patients should be from the same pe-riod,in the same ICU,as well as with similar APACHE Ⅱ score(±5 points)and primary diagnosis,patients who did not infect with AB were selected as the non-infected group in a 1:2 ratio.The AR was calculated.Results The in-hospital mortality of patients with AB infection in sterile body fluid was 33.3％,and that of non-infected group was 23.1％,with no statistically significant difference between the two groups(P=0.069).The AR was 10.2％(95％CI:-2.3％-22.8％).There is no statistically significant difference in mortality between non-infected pa-tients and infected patients from whose blood,cerebrospinal fluid and other specimen sources AB were isolated(P＞0.05).After infected with AB,critically ill patients with the major diagnosis of pulmonary infection had the high-est AR.There was no statistically significant difference in mortality between patients in the infected and non-infec-ted groups(P＞0.05),or between other diagnostic classifications.Conclusion The prognosis of AB infection in critically ill patients is highly overestimated,but active healthcare-associated infection control for AB in the ICU should still be carried out.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) combined with lower cervical fracture is often categorized into unstable fracture, with a high incidence of neurological injury and a high rate of disability and morbidity. As factors such as shoulder occlusion may affect the accuracy of X-ray imaging diagnosis, it is often easily misdiagnosed at the primary diagnosis. Non-operative treatment has complications such as bone nonunion and the possibility of secondary neurological damage, while the timing, access and choice of surgical treatment are still controversial. Currently, there are no clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of AS combined with lower cervical fracture with or without dislocation. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedics Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts to formulate Clinical guidelines for the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis combined with lower cervical fracture in adults ( version 2024) in accordance with the principles of evidence-based medicine, scientificity and practicality, in which 11 recommendations were put forward in terms of the diagnosis, imaging evaluation, typing and treatment, etc, to provide guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of AS combined with lower cervical fracture.

Objective:To optimize the technical parameters related to the preparation of novel frozen human platelets and formulate corresponding protocol for its preparation.Methods:Novel frozen human platelets were prepared with O-type bagged platelet-rich plasma(PRP),the key technical parameters(DMSO addition,incubation time,centrifugation conditions,etc.)of the preparation process were optimized,and the quality of the frozen platelets was evaluated by routine blood tests,apoptosis rate,platelet activation rate and surface protein expression level.Results:In the preparation protocol of novel frozen human platelets,the operation of centrifugation to remove supernatant was adjusted to before the procedure of platelets freezing,and the effect of centrifugation on platelets was minimal when the centrifugation condition was 800 xg for 8 min.In addition,platelets incubated with DMSO for 30 min before centrifugation exhibited better quality after freezing and thawing.The indexes of novel frozen human platelets prepared with this protocol remained stable after long-term cryopreservation.Conclusion:The preparation technique of novel frozen human platelets was established and the protocol was formulated.It was also confirmed that the quality of frozen platelets could be improved by incubating platelets with DMSO for 30 min and then centrifuging them at 800 ×g for 8 min in the preparation of novel frozen human platelets.
