Objective:Trigeminal neuralgia(TN)is a common neuropathic pain.Voltage-gated potassium channel(Kv)has been confirmed to be involved in the occurrence and development of TN,but the specific mechanism is still unclear.MicroRNA may be involved in neuropathic pain by regulating the expression of Kv channels and neuronal excitability in trigeminal ganglion(TG).This study aims to explore the relationship between Kv1.1 and miR-21-5p in TG with a TN model,evaluate whether miR-21-5p has a regulatory effect on Kv1.1,and to provide a new target and experimental basis for the treatment of TN. Methods:A total of 48 SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups:1)a sham group(n= 12),the rats were only sutured at the surgical incision without nerve ligation;2)a sham+ agomir NC group(n=6),the sham rats were microinjected with agomir NC through stereotactic brain injection in the surgical side of TG;3)a sham+miR-21-5p agomir group(n=6),the sham rats were microinjected with miR-21-5p agomir via stereotactic brain injection in the surgical side of TG;4)a TN group(n=12),a TN rat model was constructed using the chronic constriction injury of the distal infraorbital nerve(dIoN-CCI)method with chromium intestinal thread;5)a TN+antagonist NC group(n=6),TN rats were microinjected with antagonist NC through stereotactic brain injection method in the surgical side of TG;6)a TN+miR-21-5p antagonist group(n=6),TN rats were microinjected with miR-21-5p antagonist through stereotactic brain injection in the surgical side of TG.The change of mechanical pain threshold in rats of each group after surgery was detected.The expressions of Kv1.1 and miR-21-5p in the operative TG of rats were detected by Western blotting and real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction.Dual luciferase reporter genes were used to determine whether there was a target relationship between Kv1.1 and miR-21-5p and whether miR-21-5p directly affected the 3'-UTR terminal of KCNA1.The effect of brain stereotaxic injection was evaluated by immunofluorescence assay,and then the analogue of miR-21-5p(agomir)and agomir NC were injected into the TG of rats in the sham group by brain stereotaxic apparatus to overexpress miR-21-5p.The miR-21-5p inhibitor(antagomir)and antagomir NC were injected into TG of rats in the TN group to inhibit the expression of miR-21-5p.The behavioral changes of rats before and after administration were observed,and the expression changes of miR-21-5p and Kv1.1 in TG of rats after intervention were detected. Results:Compared with the baseline pain threshold,the facial mechanical pain threshold of rats in the TN group was significantly decreased from the 5th to 15th day after the surgery(P<0.05),and the facial mechanical pain threshold of rats in the sham group was stable at the normal level,which proved that the dIoN-CCI model was successfully constructed.Compared with the sham group,the expression of Kv1.1 mRNA and protein in TG of the TN group was down-regulated(both P<0.05),and the expression of miR-21-5p was up-regulated(P<0.05).The results of dual luciferase report showed that the luciferase activity of rno-miR-21-5p mimics and KCNA1 WT transfected with 6 nmol/L or 20 nmol/L were significantly decreased compared with those transfected with mimic NC and wild-type KCNA1 WT,respectively(P<0.001).Compared with low dose rno-miR-21-5p mimics(6 nmol/L)co-transfection group,the relative activity of luciferase in the high dose rno-miR-21-5p mimics(20 nmol/L)cotransfection group was significantly decreased(P<0.001).The results of immunofluorescence showed that drugs were accurately injected into TG through stereotaxic brain.After the expression of miR-21-5p in the TN group,the mechanical pain threshold and the expression of Kv1.1 mRNA and protein in TG were increased.After overexpression of miR-21-5p in the sham group,the mechanical pain threshold and the expression of Kv1.1 mRNA and protein in TG were decreased. Conclusion:Both Kv1.1 and miR-21-5p are involved in TN and miR-21-5p can regulate Kv1.1 expression by binding to the 3'-UTR of KCNA1.

Objective:To evaluate the epidemiological characteristics and explore the associated factors of breakthrough cases (BC) from Public Health Emergency Events (PHEEs) of varicella in Zhejiang Province from 2019 to 2022.Methods:Data on cases were obtained from the China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention and the PHEEs Reporting Information Database of Varicella in Zhejiang Province. History records were matched through the Zhejiang Provincial Immunization Information System. Descriptive analysis and multiple logistic regression model with a bidirectional stepwise selection method were performed to explore associated factors for BC during 2019-2022.Results:A total of 144 276 varicella cases were reported from 2019 to 2022, with the annual reported incidence of 47.35-82.80 cases per 100 000 population. Among these cases, 109 172 were non-breakthrough cases (NBC, accounting for 75.67%), 34 517 were BC (23.92%), and the rest 587 cases had unclear vaccination history on varicella (0.41%). A total of 214 PHEEs of varicella were reported, of which 99.07% occurred in school settings. The proportion of PHEEs that occurred in high school increased significantly as time went on ( χ2trend=5.742, P=0.017). Multiple logistic regression model which focused on "BC vs. NBC (as the reference)" indicated that the year of onset ( OR=1.585, 95% CI:1.343-1.878), the month of onset (taking January as the reference, OR=2.311-15.652), city (taking Hangzhou as the reference, Jiaxing OR=2.370, Jinhua OR=2.197, Lishui OR=0.134), age ( OR=0.887, 95% CI: 0.826-0.944), PHEEs setting (taking "primary school and below" as the reference, "high school and above" OR=0.516, 95% CI: 0.305-0.897), and the number of rashes ( OR=0.569, 95% CI: 0.458-0.703) were associated factors. Multiple logistic regression model which focused on "two-dose BC vs. one-dose BC (as the reference)" showed that the age of initial vaccination ( OR=0.045, 95% CI: 0.014-0.107), the time interval from onset to the last dose ( OR=0.037, 95% CI: 0.011-0.087) and the age of onset ( OR=20.724, 95% CI: 8.383-72.485) were associated factors. Conclusion:During 2019-2022, the reported high-risk group of varicella in Zhejiang Province has shifted to adolescents and young adults. Although vaccination could not completely prevent the onset of VZV, it could relieve clinical symptoms and delay the age of onset.

OBJECTIVES: Several countries have successfully eliminated measles, and China is making significant strides toward achieving this goal. This study focused on investigating the patterns of measles infections in Zhejiang Province, China, as well as control measures. The objective was to provide valuable insights that could contribute to the development of nationwide elimination strategies. METHODS: We analyzed measles surveillance data from 2005 to 2022 in Zhejiang Province. We utilized a joinpoint regression model to examine trends in measles. Additionally, we employed SaTScan version 9.5 to identify spatial-temporal clusters. Finally, we used an age-period-cohort model to assess the effects of age, period, and cohort. RESULTS: The age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) of measles infection in Zhejiang Province from 2005 to 2022 was 5.24 per 100,000, showing a consistent and significant downward trend with an annual percentage change of -24.93% (p<0.05). After 2020, the ASIR for measles infection fell to below 0.1 per 100,000. The majority of measles cases occurred in individuals either without an immunization history or with an unknown immunization status, representing 41.06% and 41.40% of the cases from 2010 to 2022, respectively. According to data from the National Measles Surveillance System, the annual rate of discarded measles cases from 2009 to 2014, and the annual rate of discarded measles and rubella cases from 2015 to 2022, were both above 2 per 100,000, indicating the high sensitivity of the measles surveillance system. CONCLUSIONS The significant reduction in measles incidence from 2005 to 2022 demonstrates substantial progress in Zhejiang Province towards the elimination of measles.

Abstract Vaccine-hypervariable poliovirus type Ⅲ was detected in an acute flaccid paralysis infant at age of 6 months in Zhejiang Province in June, 2021, and the isolated and incubated virus had six nucleotide variations in the VP1 region as compared to the poliovirus Sabin vaccine strain. The infant had a history of three-dose poliovirus vaccination, and grade 2 muscle strength of the left upper limb upon onset. He was clinically diagnosed with cellulitis of the left shoulder, and recovered to normal following treatment. No abnormality was detected in the nervous system, and the infant was cured and discharged from hospital. No vaccine-hypervariable poliovirus was detected in subsequent infant' clinical samples or in close contacts, and no similar cases were identified during the active case detection by county/district medical institutions and among community populations. Since the infant did not present poliomyelitis-related clinical symptoms caused by vaccine-hypervariable poliovirus, poliomyelitis was excluded. The vaccine-hypervariable poliovirus was not spread because of timely identification and effective responses, suggesting the urgent need to maintain the sensitivity of the acute flaccid paralysis surveillance system and improve the coverage of poliovirus vaccination, so as to inhibit the transmission of poliovirus.
