In 2022， Hainan provincial government launched the project for the prevention and control of viral hepatitis with the goals of a hepatitis B screening rate of 90%， a diagnostic rate of 90%， and a treatment rate of 80% among people aged 18 years and above by the year 2025， and the main intervention measures include population-based prevention， case screening， antiviral therapy， and health management. As of December 31， 2024， a total of 6.875 million individuals in the general population had been screened for hepatitis B， with a screening rate of 95.6%. A total of 184 710 individuals with positive HBsAg were identified， among whom 156 772 were diagnosed through serological reexamination， resulting in a diagnostic rate of 84.9%. A total of 50 742 patients with chronic hepatitis B were identified， among whom 42 921 had hepatitis B-specific health records established for health management， with a file establishment rate of 84.6%. A total of 31 553 individuals received antiviral therapy， with a treatment rate of 62.2%. A total of 2.503 million individuals at a high risk of hepatitis C were screened， among whom 4 870 tested positive for HCV antibody and 3 858 underwent HCV RNA testing， resulting in a diagnostic rate of 79.2%， and 1 824 individuals with positive HCV RNA were identified， among whom 1 194 received antiviral therapy， with a treatment rate of 65.5%. In addition， 159 301 individuals with negative HBsAg and anti-HBs and an age of 20 — 40 years were inoculated with hepatitis B vaccine free of charge. Through the implementation of the project for the prevention and control of viral hepatitis， a large number of hepatitis patients have been identified， treated， and managed in the province within a short period of time， which significantly accelerates the efforts to eliminate the crisis of viral hepatitis.

The HACEK group microorganisms(Haemophilus parainfluenzae,Aggregatibacter actinomycetem-comitans,Cardiobacterium spp.,Eikenella corrodens,Kingella kingae)belong to Gram-negative bacilli and are members of the normal oropharyngeal microbiota,which can cause invasive opportunistic infection when the host immune barrier is damaged,with infective endocarditis being one of the most serious diseases.HACEK endocarditis is characterized by an insidious course,prolonged delay of diagnosis,and dependence on third-generation cephalo-sporins for treatment.In recent years,with the emergence and development of 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing technique,the rapid diagnosis of this disease is expected to be achieved.This paper summarizes the main clinical characteristics and research progress of infective endocarditis caused by HACEK group bacteria,aiming to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective　To explore the application of time series models based on meteorological factors in the population density of Aedes albopictus in Hainan Province, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of dengue fever in Hainan Province. Methods　The density of Aedes albopictus in different habitats in 18 cities and counties of Hainan Province from 2017 to 2022 was monitored monthly using the double-mosquito net trapping index and the Breteau index. Mann-Kendall trend test was used to analyze the temporal trends of the two density indices; Spearman's correlation analysis was employed to assess the correlation strength between each meteorological factor and the two indexes, eliminating unrelated variables, and further selecting the final variables through the full-subset regression method. Three time-series models were constructed for the two density indices, with root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and other accuracy metrics used to determine the optimal model; predictions for the density indices for 2023-2024 were made. All statistical analyses were performed in R (4.3.1). Results　The net trapping and Breteau indices showed an overall decrease over the years (Z-values of Mann-Kendall trend test were -6.15 and -4.03, respectively, and P<0.05). The meteorological factor most strongly associated with the trap index was the monthly average minimum temperature; monthly mean minimum temperature and monthly mean relative humidity were strongly correlated with the Breteau index. Based on various evaluation indicators, the multivariate time series model demonstrated the highest accuracy. The study predicts one to two peaks in both the trap index and Breteau Index for the years 2023 and 2024, with peak periods occurring between June to September and May to September, respectively. The predicted value for 2023 aligns with the measured value, demonstrating outstanding predictive accuracy. Conclusions　This study has introduced meteorological factors into the seasonal time series model, allowing for more accurate predictions of the density of Aedes albopictus in Hainan Province from 2023 to 2024, providing a model framework for the prevention and control of dengue fever in Hainan Province.

Objective:To observe the efficacy and safety of oral administration of low-molecular-weight collagen peptide on facial skin rejuvenation.Methods:A total of 66 female volunteers in Department of Dermatology, Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University aged from 35 to 50 years old (average 42.89±4.44) from November 2018 to February 2019 were enrolled and randomly divided into two groups, 33 cases each. The testing group was given 5 g Su Yan Xin Ji collagen peptide for 12 weeks; the control group was given 5 g Tai Duo Jian collagen protein powder for 12 weeks. The effects were evaluated and analyzed using VISIA and CK complexion analysis system before and after 1, 2, 4 , 12 weeks of oral administration collagen; meanwhile, the volunteers' overall satisfaction and adverse reactions were also recorded.Results:In total, 61 volunteers completed the study. After 12 weeks of oral administration, the skin hydration of testing group and control group were all increased (65.41±10.60 vs 59.82±9.26), the transepidermal water loss, wrinkles, textures, pores, red areas and porphyrin were all decreased (19.19±4.24 vs.21.50±5.10; 7.38±3.67 vs. 8.98±6.67; 5.55±3.07 vs.6.60±4.84; 16.94±9.30 vs. 17.95±8.85; 21.92±4.60 vs. 22.11±5.34; 10.31±7.03 vs. 11.62±8.58). There were statistically significant differences between the 7 parameters before and after oral administration ( P<0.05). The difference of skin hydration between the testing and control group was statistically significant ( t=2.317, P=0.024). Although there was no statistical difference among the other six parameters, the improvement degree of the testing group was better than that of the control group. Surface spots, UV spots and brown spots of two groups showed no significant difference before and after treatment. Overall satisfaction of the testing group and the control group were 86.67% vs. 61.29% with significant difference 12 weeks after treatment ( χ2=5.074, P=0.024), while there were no significant differences in incidence of adverse reactions between two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Oral administration of low-molecular-weight-collagen peptide can improve skin textures, moisturize skin with high overall satisfaction. It is an effective method of facial rejuvenation and better than that of collagen protein powder.

Objective:To explore the currents status of central vascular access devices (CVADs) in children's medical center in China and to provide a reference for the standardized use of CVADs and specialized nursing as well as a basis for pediatric intravenous therapy management.Methods:Totally 31 hospitals of Futang Research Center of Pediatric Development, children's hospitals of the medical treatment alliance as well as women and children care centers and general hospitals with pediatric departments were selected by convenient sampling from July 23rd to 31st, 2018. All the pediatric patients using CVADs were investigated with the Central Vascular Access Device Questionnaire which was designed by the research group, and the incidence of complications was also observed. Totally 1 333 questionnaires were collected, among which 1 288 were valid, accounting for an effective recovery rate of 96.62%.Results:There were 22 ClassⅢ and 9 ClassⅡ hospitals among the 31 hospitals. Among the 1 288 pediatric patients who used CVADs, 860 used peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) , accounting for 66.77%; 342 used central venous catheters (CVC) , accounting for 26.55%; 77 used implantable venous access port (PORT) , accounting for 5.98%; and 9 used umbilical venous catheters, accounting for 0.70%. CVADs were mainly used in the Departments of Hematological Neoplasms, ICU, Intensive Care Unit Pediatric Surgery, Vasculocardiology and Neonatals. PICC, CVC and PORT were mainly applied to upper extremities (90.00%, 74 cases) , jugular vein (73.39%, 251 cases) and the breast (96.10%, 74 cases) respectively. In the maintenance of CVADs, there was the problem of co-existing dressings.Conclusions:CVADs have been widely used in pediatric patients, and the choice of CVADs is relatively standardized. However, the maintenance of the catheters, the use of dressings, the selection of infusion connectors and the control of related complications still need to be strengthened. It is recommended that nursing professionals and nursing managers should further strengthen their knowledge about the placement and maintenance of CVADs, and intensify their management and supervision in accordance with international and national guidelines and standards for intravenous infusion therapy to further reduce the incidence of vascular access complications in pediatric patients.

Objective: To study the correlation of lifestyle characteristics with thyroid nodules in a population-based sample of centenarians in Hainan. Methods: The study was based on China Hainan Centenarian Cohort Study (CHCCS) conducted in 18 cities and counties in Hainan province from 2014 to 2016. A group of multidisciplinary team interviewed and examined local centenarians with structured questionnaires and ultrasonography procedures. A total of 918 centenarians were analyzed after excluding those who refused ultrasonographic examinations or had relevant missing data. Thyroids of centenarians were examined by 3-year experienced sonographer, details on lifestyle characteristics and dietary habits were collected by standard procedure. Results: Of the 918 centenarians, 683 (74.4%) had thyroid nodules under the ultrasonography procedures. The prevalence of thyroid nodules in different group of areca nut consumption varied significantly (P<0.05). In multivariate logistic regression model, the results showed female and areca nut intake were independently associated with thyroid nodules in centenarians (P<0.05). Conclusions The modifiable variables including areca nut intake as well as non-modifiable such as gender are independent determinants of thyroid nodules in centenarians. Further studies are warranted to explore and verify these associations in populations with different ranges of age.

Objective: To explore the clinical features, the serotype distribution and drug resistance of the isolates in patient with invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD). Methods: By retrieving the laboratory information system in 18 children′s hospitals from 2012 to 2017, the children with IPD were enrolled. Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) must be isolated from the sterile sites (blood, cerebrospinal fluid, hydrothorax and joint effusion etc.). The clinical characteristics, serotype, drug resistance, treatment and prognosis were reviewed and analyzed. According to the telephone follow up results, the patients were divided into death group and recovered group. The index as an independent risk factor of mortality was demonstrated by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: There were 1 138 children with IPD, including 684 male and 454 female. The proportion of male to female was 1.5∶1. The age ranged from one day to 16 years. The median age was 1 year 3 month. The majority was under 5 years of age (89.3%, n= 1 016), especially under 2 years of age (61.9%, n=704). In all cases, 88.2% (n=1 004) were community acquired infection. The infections included meningitis (n=446, 39.2%), pneumonia with bacteremia (n=339, 29.8%), and bacteremia without focus (n=232, 20.4%). Underlying diseases were found in 242 cases (21.3%). Co-infections were determined in 62 cases (5.4%) with mycoplasma, 27 cases (2.4%) with adenovirus and 34 cases with influenza virus (3.0%). The penicillin insensitivity (PNSP) rates in meningitis and non-meningitis isolates were 69.5% (276/397) and 35.9% (221/615), respectively. There were 81 strains serotyped, in which 93.8% (76/81) were covered by 13-valent protein-polysaccharide conjugate vaccine (PCV13). In the 965 patients who were followed up by phone call, 156 cases (16.2%) were confirmed dead. The independent risk factors for the death were under 2 years of age (OR=2.143, 95%CI 1.284-3.577, P=0.004), meningitis (OR=3.066, 95%CI 1.852-5.074, P<0.01), underlying disease (OR=4.801, 95%CI 2.953-7.804, P<0.01), septic shock(OR=3.542, 95%CI 1.829-6.859, P<0.01), disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) (OR=4.150, 95%CI 1.468-11.733, P=0.007), multiple organ failure (OR=12.693, 95%CI 6.623-24.325, P<0.01) and complications of central nervous system (OR=1.975, 95%CI 1.144-3.410, P=0.015). Conclusions Most children with IPD were under 5 years of age, having underlying diseases and acquired the infection in community. The independent risk factors for death were under two years old, meningitis, underlying diseases and multiple organ failure. The problem of drug resistance was severe. The universal immunization of PCV13 would be effective to prevent IPD in Chinese children.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of thyroid nodules(TN)among centenarians in Hainan province and explore the association between thyroid nodules and major chronic diseases.Methods A mixed cross-sectional study of questionnaire survey,medical examination including ultrasonography and laboratory examination were conducted in elderly who resided in Hainan province and aged 100 and over,the subjects who have signed consent and complete data in both basic information and medical examination were included in this study.Eight hundred and four centenarians were finally enrolled and data of them was analyzed to investigate the prevalence of thyroid nodules and to explore its association with common chronic diseases by comparing the prevalence of chronic conditions between groups with and without thyroid nodules.Results The overall prevalence of TN was 73.5%(591、804)and the prevalence of TN was significantly higher in female when comparing with male[75.1%(505、672)vs 65.2%(86、132)](P <0.001).No significant correlation was found between the prevalence of TN and major chronic diseases (P>0.05),however,the factors associated with dyslipidemia and anemia such as TC[(4.6±1.2)mmol、L vs(4.3±1.5)mmol、L],LDL-C[(2.8±0.8)mmol、L vs(2.7±0.8)mmol、L],and Hb[(110.6±22.5)g、L vs(105.5±31.7)g、L]were significant higher in TN group than those in Non-TN group(P <0.05). Conclusions The thyroid nodule is common in centenarian population and its prevalence was higher in female than male.The associations between TN and biomarkers of dyslipidemia and anemia are found in the present study.
