ObjectiveTo obtain the epidemiological characteristics of re-positive cases infected with SARS-CoV-2 in Pudong New Area from March to July 2022, including clinical manifestations, duration of a negative nucleic acid conversion after tested for re-positive, and length of time from the discharge of the initial infection to the most recent re-positivity, so as to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of COVID-19. MethodsA questionnaire survey was conducted among the re-positive cases infected with SARS-CoV-2 after discharged from hospital/quarantine facility in Pudong New Area, and descriptive epidemiological methods were used for characteristics analysis. ResultsA total of 2 422 re-positive cases met the inclusive and exclusive criteria, with males accounting for 61.02%. The age distribution mainly fell between 18 and <60 years old, accounting for 62.39%. Clinical manifestations were predominantly asymptomatic (72.15%), followed by cough (12.03%) and sore throat (6.58%). Among the stratified randomized sample of 416 individuals, there were statistically significant differences in symptoms (χ²=262.667, P<0.001), clinical typing (χ²=12.996, P=0.001), and duration of a negative nucleic acid conversion (χ²=142.578, P<0.001) between the initial positive and re-positive instances. Besides, statistically significant differences in symptoms (χ²=13.696, P=0.016) and self-perception of the severity of re-infection (χ²=7.923, P=0.048) between the initial and re-positive cases were observed by different genders. ConclusionAmong re-positive cases, males experienced milder symptoms compared to females, and the self-perception of symptoms during re-positivity is milder than that in the initial positive infection. The length of time for negative nucleic acid conversion during the initial positive period is shorter than that during the re-positive period.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and spatial-temporal distribution of drug-resistant tuberculosis in Pudong New Area from 2016 to 2021 and to provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of drug-resistant tuberculosis. Methods The data of tuberculosis patients in Pudong New Area from 2016 to 2021 were collected through the Tuberculosis Information Management System of China Disease Prevention and Control Information System. The geographic information database was established by ArcGIS software and the vector map of Pudong New Area for trend surface analysis and spatial autocorrelation analysis . Results From 2016 to 2021, a total of 3916 patients with etiological positive tuberculosis were found to be drug resistant with the drug resistance rate of 13.13%. The drug resistance rate of each year showed a decreasing trend (χ²_trend=14.917, P<0.001). The rates of drug resistance of male, retiree, age 50~<60 years old, 60~<70 years old and recurrent patient were higher. From 2016 to 2021, the incidence of drug-resistant TB showed no spatial aggregation.In the south - north direction, the north is higher than the south generally. In the east - west direction, the west is higher than the east generally. Conclusion Drug resistance screening should be strengthened for men, retirees, over 50 years old, and recurrent TB patients,. Prevention and control measures should be strengthened in street towns with dense population and large floating population.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of positive hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody, HCV RNA and genotype distribution of HCV in high-risk populations in Pudong New Area, Shanghai City, so that to provide evidence for making "hepatitis C micro elimination" strategies in Shanghai area.Methods:A survey with proportional sampling method was conducted among the high-risk populations, including people who inject drugs (PWID), voluntarily or compulsorily accepted drug detoxification or methadone treatment, human immunodeficiency virus voluntary counseling and testing (HIV VCT) outpatients, sexually transmitted disease (STD) outpatients, and commercial sex workers, who participated in the routine physical examination activities held by the community health service centers and public hospitals of Pudong New Area from July 2021 to November 2022. The residual plasma samples were collected from medical examinations. HCV antibody was tested in all samples. HCV RNA and HCV genotype were tested in samples with positive HCV antibody results.Results:A total of 1 000 HCV high-risk people were screened, including 453 PWID, 166 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infectors, 245 STD outpatients, and 136 commercial sex workers. The positive rates of HCV antibody in the four categories of personnel were 21.85%(99/453), 1.81%(3/166), 1.22%(3/245) and 0(0/136), respectively. The positive rate of HCV RNA was 42.68%(35/82) among HCV antibody positive people in high-risk populations. As much as 74.29%(26/35) of HCV RNA positive people had junior high school education or less, and 77.14%(27/35) of them were not married. Among the 12 samples tested for HCV genotype, five were genotype 3, five were genotype 6, and two were subtype 1b.Conclusions:PWID is the main high-risk HCV infection population, who should be the target of the following "hepatitis C micro elimination" strategies. The proportions of genotype 3 and genotype 6 are high in the high-risk HCV infection populations, and the pan-genotype direct-acting antiviral agent treatment may be more suitable in this situation. HCV infected persons in high-risk groups have low education level and marriage rate, which indicates that education and care in community are needed.

ObjectiveTo investigate the epidemiological traits and potential years of life lost associated with lung cancer mortality among inhabitants of Shanghai's Pudong New Area from 1995 to 2021， in order to serve as a reference for developing intervention approaches. MethodsThe death surveillance system was used to gather statistics on lung cancer deaths. Crude mortality rate （CMR）， standardized mortality rate （SMR）， potential years of life lost （PYLL）， average years of life lost （AYLL）， annual percent change （APC） of the lung cancer deaths were analyzed. The impact of age-structural and non-age-structural factors on changes in lung cancer mortality was quantified using difference decomposition. ResultsThe CMR and SMR of lung cancer among residents in Pudong New Area between 1995 and 2021 were 58.21/10⁵ and 26.75/10⁵， respectively. The CMR of lung cancer increased over the years （APC=1.91%， 95%CI=1.60%‒2.30%； Z=11.487， P<0.001）， and the SMR of lung cancer declined over the years （APC=-1.50%， 95%CI=-1.80%‒-1.20%； Z=-9.006， P<0.001）. Age structure factors and gender factors contributed to the increase of lung cancer mortality， while non-population age structure factors overall appeared to play a protective role which might be related to the improvements in factors such as tobacco control and environmental management. The PYLL of lung cancer was 160 296 person years， the PYLL rate was 2.24‰， and the AYLL was 3.86 years per person. ConclusionAge structure factors are a significant contributor to the disease burden and result in the increase in the crude lung cancer mortality rate of Pudong residents of shanghai. Comprehensive monitoring， preventive， and control methods should be implemented.

ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors of anemia in HIV-infected patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy （HAART） in the Pudong New Area. MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted among HIV-infected patients who started HAART from 2005 to 2020 in Pudong New Area. Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the risk factors of anemia， moderate or severe anemia， and chronic anemia. The piecewise linear mixed-effect model was used to analyze the association between initial HAART classes and hemoglobin change in the follow-up. ResultsA total of 2 403 HIV-infected patients were included in the analysis. Among them， there were 357 cases of new onset anemia， 86 cases of chronic anemia and 102 cases of moderate or severe anemia， with the incidence density of 4.41/100 person years， 0.89/100 person years and 0.96/100 person years respectively. Multifactorial Cox regression analysis results showed that female， age >45 years， baseline CD4⁺ T lymphocyte count （CD4） <200 cells‧μL^-1， opportunistic infections， glomerular filtration rate （eGFR） <60 mL‧min^-1‧（1.73 m²）^-1， and zidovudine （AZT） or protease inhibitor （PIs） based regimens were associated factors for the development of anemia. Female， age >45 years， CD4 <200 cells‧μL^-1， opportunistic infections， and AZT-based regimens were associated with the development of chronic anemia. Mild anemia at baseline and AZT-based regimens were associated with the development of moderate or severe anemia. Linear mixed-effects model showed that the use of AZT （-7.87 g‧L^-1， 95%CI： -9.42 to -6.32） or PIs （-3.43 g‧L^-1， 95%CI： -5.57 to -1.30） was associated with lower Hb at follow-up. ConclusionInitial use of AZT and PIs is associated with progression to anemia and a lower follow-up hemoglobin level. Increased hemoglobin monitoring in users of AZT and PIs may be beneficial， especially during the first 6 months after initiation of HAART.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between the intestinal flora and the impairment of liver and kidney in HIV-infected men who have heterosexual sex with healthy women. MethodsFecal samples from 41 HIV-infected heterosexual men who have sex with women （PMSW） and 43 age- and BMI-matched healthy heterosexual men who have sex with women （NMSW） were collected and subjected to 16S rDNA sequencing. The blood levels of AST， ALT， TBIL， UREA， Cr， UA， β2-MG and other liver and kidney function indicators were measured. Bioinformatics methods were used to analyze the characteristics of the intestinal flora of the patients in these two groups， to compare the differential bacteria strains， and to analyze their correlation with liver and kidney function indicators. ResultsIn comparison with NMSW， the alpha diversity of intestinal flora was decreased in PMSW， and the beta diversity analysis showed significant differences in flora characteristics between the two groups （P<0.05）. The abundance of Clostridium， Phylum thick-walled， Trichosporon， and Clostridium tumefaciens decreased but Fusobacteriota increased （LDA score >4）. The comparison of liver and kidney function indexes revealed that AST， β2-MG levels were higher in PMSW than in NMSW， while TBIL was lower in PMSW than in NMSW. The number of patients with abnormal β2-MG was much higher in PMSW than in NMSW， and the difference was statistically significant （P<0.001）. It was also found that AST was negatively correlated with Clostridium （P<0.05）； TBIL was negatively correlated with Clostridium and positively correlated with Phylum thick-walled and Trichosporon （P<0.05）. β2-MG was negatively correlated with Phylum thick-walled， Clostridium， Trichosporon and Rumenococcus （P<0.05） and positively correlated with Clostridium （P<0.05）. ConclusionIn PMSW group， the alpha diversity of the flora is decreased. AST and β2-MG levels are increased， and TBIL level is decreased. These changes were significantly correlated with different strains of bacteria in the intestinal flora.

Objective To explore the death characteristics and the potential years of life lost from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) among residents in Pudong New Area of Shanghai from 2002 to 2019, so as to provide a reference for formulating corresponding prevention and control strategies for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Methods The death data of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was extracted from the Pudong New Area's death surveillance system. Crude mortality, age-standardized mortality, potential years of life lost (PYLL), average years of life lost (AYLL) and annual percent change (APC) of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease deaths were calculated to analyze the situation of COPD death in Pudong New Area. Results The crude mortality and age-standardized mortality of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease among residents in Pudong New Area between 2002 and 2019 were 64.94/100,000 and 21.04/100 000, respectively. The chronic obstructive pulmonary disease showed a downward trend (APC=-2.05%, Z=- 5.342, P<0.001), and the standardized mortality rate decreased year by year (APC=-6.23%, Z=-13.052, P<0.001). The crude mortality and age-standardized rates in male residents were both higher than those in females (Z-crude mortality=46.471, P<0.001, Z-standardized mortality=-48.961, P<0.001). The PYLL of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was 16,997 years, the PYLL rate was 0.34‰, and the AYLL was 0.53 years per person. Conclusion From 2002 to 2019, the mortality of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease among residents in Pudong New Area was relatively high and caused serious life loss. Both crude mortality and age-standardized rate showed a downward trend during the study period. Comprehensive prevention and control measures should be further developed.

Objective To explore the use of new media technology to estimate the size of the online MSM population in Pudong New Area, to understand the frequency of new media software use, HIV testing and high-risk behavior, and to provide a basis for AIDS prevention and control. Methods The online MSM registration information in Pudong New Area was collected through a gay dating APP. At five time points on March 28 and April 11, 2019, MSM who logged into the gay dating APP were counted. The MSM were confirmed by comparing the login name and registration information. The capture-recapture (C-R) method was used to calculate the MSM population size. Meanwhile, a questionnaire survey was conducted on the online MSM. Results The MSM population size in Pudong New Area was estimated at 13 174 [95% CI: 9,672~16,676] through the C-R method. The proportion of multiple sexual partners accounted for 72.5%. According to the ordered multi-classification logistics analysis, age, education level, experience of attending a talk on AIDS, and experience of receiving AIDS publicity and education in the VCT clinic were the influencing factors of AIDS awareness. Conclusion New media technology provided new technical means for estimating the size of MSM population. The MSM population^’s awareness of AIDS risk and prevention still needs to be strengthened. It is worthy of further studies on the role of new media technology in AIDS prevention and health education in the future.
