Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of rabies in China during 2024 to understand the patterns of disease transmission and provide a scientific basis for optimizing prevention strategies and advancing the rabies elimination process.Methods:Data on the national rabies epidemic in 2024 and case-specific information from national surveillance sites were collected from China's National Notifiable Disease Reporting System(NNDRS). Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the disease trends and epidemic characteristics.Results:In 2024,China reported 167 human rabies cases across 20 provincial-level administrative divisions(PLADs),resulting in 148 fatalities. This represents a 39.17% increase from 2023(120 cases)and the highest annual incidence recorded since 2019. The epidemic exhibited a distinct geographic clustering in central and southern China,with four provinces(Henan,Guangxi,Hunan,and Hubei)accounting for 62.87%(105/167)of nationally reported cases. October(20 cases)and November(20 cases)recorded the highest monthly incidence,while February had the lowest(2 cases). Farmers constituted the primary affected demographic(80.84%),with a marked male predominance(male-to-female ratio:2.15∶1)-higher than the 2023 ratio(1.86∶1). Cases spanned all age groups,predominantly affecting middle-aged and older adults. Analysis of 54 cases revealed dogs as the primary exposure source(93.88%),with domestic dogs constituting 75.00% of these.The laboratory diagnosis rate of rabies cases in 2024 was 43.71%(73/167).Conclusion:After 16 consecutive years of decline,China's rabies epidemic rebounded in 2024,primarily driven by deficiencies in domestic dog management and weaknesses in post-exposure prophylaxis. Key recommendations include enhancing canine vaccination coverage in high-risk areas,implementing targeted health education for farmers and middle-aged and older adults,improving standardized post-exposure treatment protocols,and optimizing integrated surveillance-alert-response systems,ultimately advancing the achievement of rabies elimination goals.

3.Transcending the traditional dividing line between the acute and preventive treatment of migraine

The treatment of migraine is categorized into acute treatment and preventive treatment,and existing guidelines for the treatment of migraine usually describe the regimens for the two treatment methods separately,while some studies in recent years have found a close relationship between the two treatment methods.With the introduction of calcito-nin gene-related peptide-antagonizing drugs,such treatment methods may transcend the traditional dividing line between the acute and preventive treatment drugs,offering the possibility of an entirely new approach for the treatment of migraine,whereby acute treatment may have prophylactic benefits and prophylactic treatment may have the effect of acute treatment.At the same time,clinicians should understand that acute and preventive treatment methods are not absolutely indepen-dent treatment modes,and they are closely associated with each other,both with the ultimate goal of better migraine man-agement.Clinicians should develop individualized treatment regimens based on the specific condition of the patient,in or-der to improve the efficacy of acute and preventive treatment methods and reduce disease burden.
4. Clinical analysis of cervical posterior internal fixation titanium plate and silk suspension internal fixation cervical spondylosis
Chinese Journal of Surgery 2017;55(3):214-219
Objective:
To evaluate the clinical effect and imaging evaluation of cervical spine myelopathy treated with Centerpiece.
Methods:
A retrospective study of 60 patients underwent posterior cervical spine surgery because of cervical myelopathy in Spinal Department of Peking University People′s Hospital from July 2011 to January 2013.According to the different fixation methods, all patients were divided into cervical posterior open-door Centerpiece fixation group (group A) and cervical posterior open-door silk suspension fixation group (group B). There were 40 patients in group A, including 25 males and 15 females, mean age (59.7±11.9) years old, average course of disease before surgery (53.6±61.5) months, average follow-up time (28.5±3.1) months after operation.There were 20 patients in group B, including 15 males and 5 females, mean age (58.3±9.6) years old, average course of disease before surgery (50.4±14.9) months, average follow-up time (28.3±1.9) months after operation.The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage, preoperative and postoperative Japanese Orthopaedic Association(JOA) score, the neck disability index(NDI) score, visual analog scale (VAS) score, postoperative axial pain, C5 nerve root palsy, postoperative "re-closing" and other related complications were observed.Imaging assessment projects include: before and after surgery of cervical curvature, range of motion(ROM), spinal anteroposterior diameter, spinal canal expansion rate, the whole spinal cord backward shift distance and area of the spinal canal and the opening angle.
Results:
There was no significant difference in general data between the two groups (
