Objective:
To analyze adverse event following immunization(AEFI) with the domestic bivalent human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine among female students in primary, junior, and senior high schools in Hebei Province from 2022 to 2024, aiming to provide evidence for the vaccination program.
Methods:
On May 14, 2025, AEFI case data and vaccination data for the domestic bivalent HPV vaccine among female students in primary, junior, and senior high schools in Hebei Province from 2022 to 2024 were collected from the China Disease Control and Prevention Information System and the Hebei Provincial Immunization Program Information Management System, respectively. Statistical analysis was performed by using descriptive and analytical epidemiological methods, with intergroup comparisons conducted by using the Chi square test or Fisher s exact probability test.
Results:
From 2022 to 2024, a total of 817 900 doses of the domestic bivalent HPV vaccine were administered to female students in primary, junior, and senior high schools in Hebei Province. A total of 68 AEFI cases were reported, comprising 57 common vaccine reactions, 7 rare vaccine reactions, 3 coincidental events, and 1 psychogenic reaction. The overall AEFI reporting rate was 8.31 per 100 000 doses, 4 cases (2.30/100 000 doses), 31 cases (8.73/100 000 doses), and 33 cases (11.41/100 000 doses) were reported in 2022, 2023, and 2024, respectively, with a statistically significant difference across years ( χ 2=10.97, P <0.01). The reporting rates for common and rare vaccine reactions were 6.97 per 100 000 doses and 0.86 per 100 000 doses, respectively. The AEFI reporting rates were 15.14 per 100 000 doses among primary school girls and 8.20 per 100 000 doses among secondary school girls, though the difference was not statistically significant (Fisher s exact test, P =0.30). The reporting rate was higher after the first dose (10.91/100 000 doses) than after the second dose (5.96/100 000 doses; χ 2=5.85, P =0.02).The second quarter recorded the highest AEFI reporting rate at 11.21 per 100 000 doses. The majority of AEFI cases (56 cases, 82.35%) occurred within 24 hours post vaccination.
Conclusion
The domestic bivalent HPV vaccine demonstrates a favorable safety profile among female students in Hebei Province, with a low overall AEFI reporting rate that consisted predominantly of general reactions and occasional cardiac related reactions.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of measles cases in the measles elimination stage and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention, control, diagnosis and treatment of measles. Methods The descriptive epidemiological method was used to analyze the clinical characteristics of 442 confirmed measles cases in Hebei Province from 2018 to 2020. Results Among the 442 measles cases, the main symptoms were rash (96.61%), fever (90.50%), cough (56.11%), and Koplik spots (30.09%). Complications were mainly pneumonia (12.22%). There were significant differences in symptoms among different age groups (P < 0.05). The incidence of symptoms in children under 5 years old (except cough) was higher than that in other age groups. Immunization history had no significant impact on the symptoms of fever and rash (P > 0.05), but the incidence of symptoms such as cough, conjunctivitis, Koplik's spots and catarrhal rhinitis in the immunized group was lower than that in the non-immunized group (P < 0.05). The group with an interval of 0 days from fever to rash was the largest, and the proportion of people with an immunization history in the 0-day group (68.06%) was significantly higher than that in the 3-4-day group (49.44%) (P < 0.05). Pneumonia complications were mainly concentrated in children under 5 years old (87.03%), and most of the cases had a 0-dose immunization history (81.48%). Conclusion In the measles elimination stage, the incidence of fever and rash in cases is relatively high, while the incidence of Koplik spots is relatively low. The symptoms are more obvious in the younger age group. Vaccination can reduce the incidence of specific symptoms. The change in the time of rash appearance suggests that the diagnosis and treatment plan need to be adjusted. This study provides key data support for the formulation of measles prevention, control and treatment strategies.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and mechanism of long intergenic non-coding RNA02086 (LINC02086) overexpression mediated macrophage polarization on the proliferation, migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells. MethodsThe expression levels of LINC02086 in the human gastric epithelial cell line GES-1 and human gastric cancer cell lines HCG-27, NCI-N87, and AGS were determined by qRT-PCR. Human acute monocytic leukemia cells (THP-1) were induced to differentiate into M0 macrophages using phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). HGC-27 cells were infected with either LINC02086 overexpression lentivirus (OE-LINC02086) or its negative control lentivirus (Vector), and the culture supernatants were collected as conditioned medium (CM1). M0 macrophages were co-cultured with the infected HGC-27 cells, and the resulting supernatants were designated as conditioned medium 2 (CM2). M0 macrophages were treated with CM1 alone or in combination with Wnt/β-catenin pathway inhibitor IWR-1, forming the Vector+CM1, OE-LINC02086+CM1, and OE-LINC02086+CM1+IWR-1 groups, respectively. Flow cytometry was used to detect mannose receptor C-type 1 (CD206) expression, and qRT-PCR was employed to measure mRNA levels of interleukin-10 (IL⁃10), transforming growth factor-β (TGF⁃β), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and chemokine ligand 22 (CCL22). Western blot was performed to evaluate protein expression of CD206, VEGF, and key components of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway—Wnt family member 3a (Wnt3a), glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β), and β-catenin. HGC-27 cells were treated with CM2 alone or combined with IWR-1, establishing the Vector+CM2, OE-LINC02086+CM2, and OE-LINC02086+CM2+IWR-1 groups. CCK-8 assay was used to evaluate cell proliferation, and Transwell assays were conducted to assess migration and invasion capabilities. ResultsCompared with GES-1 cells, the expression levels of LINC02086 were upregulated in HCG-27, NCI-N87, and AGS cells (P < 0.05), with the smallest increase observed in HCG-27 cells. Compared with Vector+CM1 group, the level of CD206 and the expression levels of IL⁃10, TGF⁃β, VEGF and CCL22 mRNA in macrophages stimulated by OE-LINC02086+CM1 increased (P<0.05). Meanwhile, the expression levels of Wnt3a and β-catenin proteins in cells increased (P<0.05), and the expression level of GSK-3β protein decreased (P<0.05). However, co-treatment with IWR-1 markedly reversed the promoting effects of LINC02086 overexpression on the expression of M2 polarization markers, including CD206, IL⁃10, and TGF⁃β mRNA, in macrophages (P<0.05), as well as its activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway (P<0.05). Compared with Vector+CM2 group, HGC-27 cells infected with OE-LINC02086+CM2 had increased proliferation activity and increased number of migration and invasion cells (P<0.05). However, the combined intervention of IWR-1 significantly reversed the promotion of LINC02086 overexpression on the proliferation, migration and invasion of HGC-27 cells (P<0.05). ConclusionLINC02086 overexpression promotes the proliferation, migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells by activating Wnt/β-catenin pathway to mediate M2 polarization of macrophages.

AIM: To explore preoperative risk factors affecting residual astigmatism after Toric intraocular lens(IOL)implantation, and construct and verify a clinically applicable prediction model.METHODS: This retrospective study included patients who underwent Toric IOL implantation at Puyang Oilfield General Hospital and the Second People's Hospital of Puyang City from October 2023 to August 2025. Patients were categorized into two groups according to residual astigmatism at 3 mo postoperatively: >0.25 D group and ≤0.25 D group. Preoperative clinical data and ocular parameters of the two groups were collected and compared. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen risk factors, and a nomogram prediction model was established accordingly. Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve, calibration curve, and Hosmer-Lemeshow test were adopted to evaluate discrimination, calibration, and clinical applicability of the model. Bootstrap method was applied for internal validation.RESULTS: Totally 103 patients(103 eyes)were included, with 72 patients(72 eyes)in the group with residual astigmatism ≤0.25 D, including 38 males and 34 females, with an average age of 67.35±6.12 y; There were 31 cases(31 eyes)in group with residual astigmatism >0.25 D, including 19 males and 12 females, with an average age of 69.87±6.45 y. The proportion of patients with a history of diabetes, as well as the values for axial length, horizontal corneal diameter, flat corneal curvature(K1), steep corneal curvature(K2), astigmatic axis and proportion of lens nuclear hardness grade III-IV were significantly higher in the residual astigmatism group >0.25 D than those in the residual astigmatism ≤0.25 D group(all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis identified increased horizontal corneal diameter, higher K1 value, higher K2 value, and higher lens nuclear hardness(grade III-IV)as independent risk factors for postoperative residual astigmatism >0.25 D(all P<0.05). The nomogram constructed from these factors demonstrated that the area under the ROC curve(AUC)was 0.794, with a sensitivity of 80.31% and a specificity of 75.20%. The concordance index(C-index)of internal validation was 0.865. Calibration curve and Hosmer-Lemeshow test(χ2=5.231, P=0.734)indicated good consistency between predicted and actual values of the model.CONCLUSION: The nomogram model established based on horizontal corneal diameter, K1, K2 and lens nucleus hardness exhibits favorable predictive performance. It can effectively predict the risk of residual astigmatism prior to Toric IOL surgery, providing reference for individualized clinical surgical planning.

Cervical cancer (CC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women worldwide in 2022, and conventional treatment modalities offer limited efficacy for patients with advanced or recurrent disease. Natural killer (NK) cells are a subset of lymphocytes capable of non-specifically eliminating tumor cells and virus-infected cells without prior sensitization, and have emerged as a research focus in the field of cancer immunotherapy. However, the systematic elucidation and in-depth analysis are required in the dual regulatory mechanisms of NK cells within the cervical cancer microenvironment and the bottlenecks hindering their clinical translation. This article reviews the application of NK cell-based immunotherapy in CC, summarizes the mechanisms of action and therapeutic advances of NK cells in CC, identifies the major obstacles to current clinical translation, and proposes corresponding solutions.

Objective:
To explore the consistency between self perceived body size and body mass index (BMI) evaluation among medical students, and analyze their association with depressive symptoms, so as to provide scientific evidence for psychological intervention targeting medical students.
Methods:
From September to November 2022, a convenient cluster sampling method was employed to select 1 850 college students from two universities in Hefei, Anhui Province, and Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) was used to assess their depressive symptoms. Chi-square test was applied to compare the rates of depressive symptoms among medical students with different demographic characteristics. Kappa consistency test was performed to evaluate the consistency between self-perceived body size and BMI evaluation. Generalized linear models with binomial distribution and Logit link were constructed to analyze the associations of self-perceived body size and consistency between self-rated and BMI evaluation with depressive symptoms, as well as gender differences in these associations.
Results:
A total of 40.7 % of medical students overestimated or underestimated their body size. Specifically, the underestimation rate was 20.5% in males and 4.9 % in females, while the overestimation rate was 12.7% in males and 40.5% in females, the distribution of consistency in the misclassification rate of body self-perception between males and females was statistically significant ( χ 2=221.54, P <0.01). The overall consistency between self perceived body size and BMI evaluation was low for both males and females, with Kappa values of 0.518 and 0.281 respectively (both P <0.01). After adjusting for confounding variables, generalized linear model analyses showed that medical students with self perceived obesity and body size overestimation had higher risks of depressive symptoms ( OR =1.62, 1.26, both P <0.05). Stratified analyses by gender revealed that girls with self perceived overweight and obesity had higher risks of depressive symptoms in female students ( OR =1.43, 1.66, both P <0.05), whereas no statistically significant associations among boys ( OR =0.84, 1.86, both P >0.05). Girls with body size overestimation had a higher risk of depressive symptoms ( OR=1.20, P < 0.05), with no significant association in boys ( OR=1.00, P >0.05).
Conclusions
Differences exist related between self perceived body size and BMI evaluation among medical students. Self perceived obesity and body size overestimation are related factors to depressive symptoms.

Didangtang is a classic formula for treating blood stasis and heat, as recorded in the Treatise on Febrile Diseases, and it has been highly praised by medical practitioners throughout history. It has been recorded in many traditional Chinese medical texts and used to this day. This article comprehensively examined the records of Didangtang in different ancient versions of Treatise on Febrile Diseases by excavating and sorting out related ancient medical books and modern literature. It also investigated the dosage unit measurement, preparation method, and content of the formula in medical books throughout history. The article provided a detailed summary and exploration of the origins and processing methods of rhubarb, peach kernels, leeches, and flies in the formula. At the same time, it reviewed the clinical practice of Didangtang by medical practitioners throughout history in relevant medical books, mainly including the adjustment of dosage forms, the increase or decrease in medicinal taste and dosage, the expansion of clinical application, and the creation and elucidation of similar formulas. Although there may be differences in the above information among medical practitioners throughout history, the basic idea of attacking blood stasis and heat is consistent. In addition, based on clinical practice, the author adhered to the principle of treating stasis and heat disease as the first reference when using Didangtang. It was suggested that blood should be circulated instead of stopping in the treatment of stasis and heat accumulation syndrome. At the same time, it was believed that the use of the method of attacking stasis and heat to regulate brain diseases and mental illnesses derives from the fact that removing stasis and generating new energy can nourish the heart and mind, providing ideas for the treatment of such diseases with Didangtang. On this basis, modern clinical and animal experiments have shown that Didangtang has certain effects in improving microcirculation disorders, regulating blood rheology and hemodynamics, enhancing insulin resistance, and inhibiting inflammatory reactions. This may be an important mechanism for the formula to ''conquer blood stasis and heat''. This article explored the textual research and clinical mechanism of Didangtang, presenting facts and evidence, so as to provide a reference for the clinical application of Didangtang and the research on other prescriptions.

The gradient field, one of the core magnetic fields in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems, is generated by gradient coils and plays a critical role in spatial encoding and the generation of echo signals. The uniformity or linearity of the gradient field directly impacts the quality and distortion level of MRI images. However, traditional point measurement methods lack accuracy in assessing the linearity of gradient fields, making it difficult to provide effective parameters for image distortion correction. This paper introduced a spherical measurement-based method that involved measuring the magnetic field distribution on a sphere, followed by detailed magnetic field calculations and linearity analysis. This study, applied to assess the nonlinearity of asymmetric head gradient coils, demonstrated more comprehensive and precise results compared to point measurement methods. This advancement not only strengthens the scientific basis for the design of gradient coils but also provides more reliable parameters and methods for the accurate correction of MRI image distortions.

Objective To analyze the operation of Measles Surveillance System (MSS) in Hebei Province, and to provide evidence for measles elimination. Methods Measles surveillance data was collected from the MSS from 2020 to 2023, and a modified weighted technology for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) method was used to evaluate the surveillance indexes of measles in Hebei Province. Results The operation quality of the measles surveillance system in Hebei Province was improved year by year, with the highest quality in 2023, and all the indicators reached the monitoring program standards. The quality of measles surveillance system was not balanced among cities, and the main influencing factor was the substandard sensitivity indicators. The quality of measles surveillance system was the highest in Baoding City and the lowest in Zhangjiakou City. Conclusion The measles surveillance system in Hebei province is running well, and the sensitivity of the surveillance system should be improved to keep the high-quality operation of the surveillance system.
10.Incremental effectiveness of two-dose of mumps-containing vaccine in chidren
Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(6):883-887
Objective:
To evaluate the incremental vaccine effectiveness (VE) of two dose of the mumps containing vaccine (MuCV) in chidren, so as to provide a basis for optimizing mumps immunization strategies.
Methods:
A 1∶2 frequency matched case-control study was conducted by using reported mumps cases in childcare centers or schools from Lu an, Hefei, Ma anshan and Huainan cities of Anhui Province from September 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024, as a case group(383 cases). And healthy children in the same classroom were selected as a control group(766 cases). The MuCV immunization histories of participants were collected to estimate the incremental VE of the second dose of MuCV against mumps. Group comparisons were performed using the Chi square test or t-test. For matched case-control pairs, the Cox regression model was employed to calculate the odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for two dose MuCV vaccination and to estimate the incremental vaccine effectiveness (VE).
Results:
There were no statistically significant differences between the case and control groups regarding gender, age, dosage of MuCV vaccination and the time interval since the last dose vaccination( χ 2/t=0.05, 0.20, 0.94, -0.02, P >0.05). The proportions of the case and control groups vaccinated with two doses of MuCV were 26.63% and 29.37%, respectively, and the overall incremental VE of the second dose of MuCV was 40.73% (95% CI=3.03%-63.77%, P <0.05). Subgroup analyses revealed that the incremental VE for children with a period of ≥1 year between the two doses of MuCV was 54.13% (95% CI=1.90%-78.56%, P <0.05), while for children with a period of <1 year, it was 30.63% (95% CI=-28.59%-62.58%, P >0.05). The incremental VE of the second dose of MuCV was 30.36% (95% CI=-25.95%-61.50%, P >0.05) in kindergarten children and 66.73% (95% CI=14.92%-86.99%, P <0.05) in elementary and secondary school students. The incremental VE was 28.78% (95% CI=-27.46%-60.21%, P >0.05) within five years of the last dose of MuCV vaccination and 66.07% (95% CI=-41.56%-91.87%, P >0.05) for vaccinations administered beyond five years.
Conclusions
The second dose of MuCV may offer additional protection for children; however, extending the interval between two dose of MuCV (<1 year) has shown limited incremental protective effects. Therefore, it is crucial to consider optimizing current immunization strategies for mumps.
