Against the backdrop of the global acceleration of cervical cancer elimination, China has been promoting pilot programs offering free or subsidized HPV vaccination for eligible girls. In 2022, Zhejiang Province initiated a free bivalent HPV vaccination program for eligible girls, expanding from pilot areas to the whole province. Through key measures such as effective multi-sectoral collaboration, full financial support, comprehensive health education and high-quality vaccination services, the program was successfully implemented. However, challenges were encountered during the implementation of the program, including difficulties in target population definition and HPV vaccine selection, as well as significant gap between vaccination intention and behavior. This article systematically analyzes the practices and challenges faced by Zhejiang Province, and proposes corresponding strategies and suggestions based on the best practices both domestically and internationally. It aims to provide references for the implementation of similar programs in other regions or even integrating HPV vaccine into the immunization program.

Since the introduction of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines, countries around the world have actively promoted large-scale vaccination with HPV vaccines to improve their coverage for target populations. This study conducts a multidimensional analysis to quantify the policies, implementation models and evaluation outcomes of the free HPV vaccination program across countries at high, upper-middle and lower-middle income levels. The results reveal distinct patterns in implementation and evaluation among these countries. The results also suggest that China can learn from successful international experiences to explore more effective vaccination strategies to increase coverage. In parallel, it is essential to develop a scientifically grounded evaluation framework and conduct systematic evaluations to effectively support the continuous implementation of the free HPV vaccination program for target populations in China. Furthermore, China may consider incorporating appropriate HPV vaccines into the National Immunization Program and dynamically adjusting vaccine types as needed to accelerate the elimination of cervical cancer.

Objective:To investigate the expressions of MUC1, MUC4, MUC5AC and MUC16 in patients with first diagnosis of dry eye and their correlation with dry eye symptoms and signs.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted.Sixty-nine dry eye patients (69 eyes) as dry eye group and 40 normal volunteers (40 eyes) as normal control group were recruited in Xiamen Eye Center of Xiamen University, Beijing Tongren Hospital, West China Hospital of Sichuan University and Shanghai Puotuo District Center Hospital from December 2016 to May 2018.Symptoms were evaluated by Chinese dry eye questionnaire, Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) and Dry Eye-Related Quality-of-Life Score Questionnaire (DEQS). Signs were assessed by tear film breakup time (TBUT), keratoconjunctival fluorescein sodium staining, and Schirmer I test.Conjunctival cells were collected by conjunctival impression cytology.The expression levels of MUC1, MUC4, MUC5AC and MUC16 mRNA in the two groups were determined by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.The correlation between the mRNA levels of conjunctival mucins and dry eye symptoms and signs were analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committees of Xiamen Eye Center of Xiamen University (No.2017003), Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University (No.TREC2016-29), West China Hospital of Sichuan University (No.2016310) and Shanghai Puotuo District Center Hospital (No.PTEC-A-2016-18-1). Written informed consent was obtained from each subject before any medical examination.Results:The expression levels of MUC1 and MUC16 mRNA in dry eye patients were 3.277(0.568, 5.790) and 1.815(1.048, 3.694), which were higher than 1.055(0.550, 2.010) and 1.024(0.541, 1.965) in normal control group (Z=819.00, P=0.008; Z=861.00, P=0.002). According to OSDI scores, MUC1 was mainly increased to 3.277(1.161, 6.226) in mild to moderate (12-32 points) dry eye patients (Z=9.04, P=0.029), and MUC16 was mainly increased to 1.968(1.074, 3.726) in severe (>32 points) dry eye patients (Z=12.24, P=0.007). MUC1 expression was positively correlated with TBUT, and was negatively correlated with corneal staining scoring and keratoconjunctival staining scoring ( r s=0.270, P=0.025; r s=-0.331, P=0.006; r s=-0.325, P=0.007). MUC16 expression was positively correlated with TBUT, and was negatively correlated with blurred vision scoring, symptom exacerbation scoring during reading, impact scoring of driving at night, impact scoring of computer and impact scoring of TV use ( r s=0.249, P=0.039; r s=-0.359, P=0.047; r s=-0.370, P=0.034; r s=-0.558, P=0.016; r s=-0.498, P=0.006; rs=-0.515, P=0.002). Conclusions:The gene expressions of MUC1 and MUC16 are higher in conjunctiva of dry eye patients.MUC1 mRNA expression is related to patients' signs.MUC16 mRNA expression is related to the quality of life of patients.

Objective:To analyze the clinical manifestations and signs of the first diagnosed dry eye patients, and to explore the concordance between the Chinese dry eye diagnostic criteria and the Asian dry eye diagnostic criteria.Methods:A cross-sectional multicenter study was conducted.One hundred and forty-one eyes of 141 patients who were diagnosed as dry eye for the first time were included in Xiamen Eye Center of Xiamen University, Beijing Tongren Hospital, West China Hospital of Sichuan University and Shanghai Putuo District Center Hospital from December 2016 to May 2018.All patients completed the Chinese Dry Eye Questionnaire, Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) and Dry Eye-Related Quality-of-life Score Questionnaire (DEQS) to evaluate the symptoms of dry eye.Tear film breakup time (BUT), keratoconjunctival fluorescein staining, meibomian gland morphology and function examination, and Schirmer Ⅰ test were performed to evaluate dry eye signs and the association between dry eye symptoms and signs.The eyes were divided into corneal staining positive and negative group according to the presence or absence of corneal fluorescein staining, and the dry eye symptoms of the two groups were assessed by the three questionnaires.The eyes were divided into tear-deficient dry eye, evaporative dry eye, mixed dry eye and abnormal tear dynamics dry eye to compare the difference of dry eye signs among the groups.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol complied with Chinese regulations and rules on clinical trial research and was approved by Ethics Committees of Xiamen Eye Center of Xiamen University (No.2017003), Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University (No.TREC2016-29), West China Hospital of Sichuan University (No.2016310) and Shanghai Putuo District Center Hospital (No.PTEC-A-2016-18-1). Written informed consent was obtained from patients before entering the cohort.Results:The total score of Chinese Dry Eye Questionnaire, OSDI questionnaire and DEQS questionnaire was 12.00(7.00, 16.00), 25.00(17.50, 36.93) and 32.02(15.77, 52.34), respectively.It was found that 130 eyes (92.2%) had dryness, and 109 eyes (77.3%) had ocular fatigue and 108 eyes (76.6%) had foreign body sensation.Dryness, foreign body sensation, photophobia and poor vision were weakly positively correlated with corneal staining ( r=0.177、0.297、0.172, all at P<0.05). Pain, photophobia and poor vision were negatively correlated with tear secretion ( r=-0.178, -0.197, -0.174; all at P<0.05). It was found that 43.3% of dry eye patients had used visual display terminals.Among the 141 eyes, 75 eyes (53.2%) were with over evaporation dry eye, 43 eyes (30.5%) with mixed dry eye, 18 eyes (12.8%) with aqueous-deficient dry eye and 3 eyes (2.1%) with abnormal tear dynamics dry eyes. Conclusions:Initial diagnosis of dry eye patients is mainly mild to moderate.Dry eye signs and symptoms are correlated.Over evaporation dry eye is the most common type of dry eye.The concordance between the Chinese dry eye diagnostic criteria and the Asian Dry Eye Society diagnostic criteria reaches 97.2%.

Objective:To explore the clinical features of acute diquat (DQ) poisoning, and further improve the awareness of acute DQ poisoning.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of patients with acute DQ poisoning diagnosed in the emergency department of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021. The clinical data included age, gender, exposure routes, presence of pesticides (drugs) mixture poisoning, dosage of poison, the time from taking poisoning to admitting in the emergency department, clinical manifestations, laboratory data, treatment, hospital days, prognosis and survival days.Results:The number of cases who firstly complained of acute DQ poisoning in the past three years were 19 cases in 2019, 28 cases in 2020, and 51 cases in 2021. A total of 12 patients were excluded due to being diagnosed paraquat (PQ) poisoning by toxicology detection. Finally, 86 cases of acute DQ poisoning were included, including 80 cases of oral DQ poisoning, 1 case of intramuscular injection, 1 case of binocular contact and 4 cases of dermal exposure. In 80 cases of oral DQ poisoning, there were 70 cases of diquat poisoning alone (42 cases survived, 28 cases died) and 10 cases of pesticide mixture poisoning (6 cases survived, 4 cases died). The time from oral poisoning to admitting in the emergency department was 0.5-96.0 hours, with an average of (8.6±5.8) hours. The time of intramuscular injection poisoning to admitting in the emergency department was 3 hours. The time of dermal exposure to admitting in the emergency department was relatively long, with an average of 66.1 hours. The time from oral simple DQ poisoning to death was 12.0-108.0 hours, and the time from oral mixed DQ poisoning to death was 24.0-576.0 hours. A total of 70 patients with oral diquat poisoning alone presented various degrees of multiple organ injuries. All patients presented gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. Renal injury and central nervous system injury were the most significant and closely related to the prognosis.Conclusions:Acute oral DQ poisoning can cause to multiple organ injuries, and the clinical manifestations are related to the dose of the poison. In severe cases, acute renal failure and refractory circulatory failure occur within 24 hours after poisoning, and severe central nervous system injury with disturbance of consciousness as the primary manifestation occurs within 36 hours, followed by multiple organ failure until death.

Objective:To investigate the role of chemokine receptor CX3CR1 in chronic skin inflammation and its regulatory mechanism.Methods:Wild type (WT) C57BL/6 mice and Cx3 cr1 GFP/GFP mice were induced by DNFB to establish acute and chronic allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) model. Ear inflammation and swelling were observed with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Flow cytometry (FCM) was used to detect the changes in classical Langerhans cell (LC) and monocyte-derived LC (Mo-LC), as well as the expression of major histocompatibility complex Ⅱ (MHCⅡ), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and TNF-α. Changes in epidermal LC in UV irradiation-induced dermatitis models were also analyzed. In human chronic skin inflammation, CX3CL1 expression was detected using immunohistochemistry, RT-PCR and Western blot and CD1a, CD14 and CD207 expression was observed with immunofluorescence staining. Results:In the chronic ACD model, Cx3 cr1 GFP/GFP mice showed significantly alleviated ear inflammatory and swelling as compared with WT mice, but no significant difference was found in the acute ACD model. The percentages of Mo-LC were decreased in the chronic ACD model and after three weeks of UV irradiation. Moreover, MHCⅡ, TNF-α and iNOS expressed by Mo-LC were significantly upregulated as compared with those by classical LC. CX3CL1 expression was significantly upregulated and the numbers of CD14 + monocytes and CD1a + langerin - Mo-LC were dramatically increased in human chronic skin inflammation. Conclusions:CX3CR1 might maintain inflammatory response by regulating local remodeling of Mo-LC in chronic skin inflammation.

Objective:To investigate the effect of ossotide combined with antibiotics on efficacy and serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) in patients with brucellosis osteoarthritis.Methods:Using a prospective study, 66 patients with brucellosis osteoarthritis admitted to Jiangshan Beilin Hospital from May 2016 to May 2019 were selected as the study subjects, aged from 28 to 70 years old. The patients were randomly divided into the control group ( n = 33) and the observation group ( n = 33). The control group was treated with antibiotics alone, and the observation group was treated with ossotide injection on the basis of the treatment. Both groups were treated for 2 months. The clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups, the pain visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, the Barthel index of activities of daily living, and the Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) scores were compared between the two groups before treatment and 2 months after treatment. The higher the VAS score was, the more severe the pain was. The higher the Barthel index was, the stronger the activity of daily living was. The higher the FMA score was, the better the motor function was. At the same time, the serum levels of TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-1β were compared between the two groups before treatment and 2 months after treatment. Results:The total effective rate of the observation group (96.97%, 32/33) was significantly higher than that of the control group (78.79%, 26/33), and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2 = 5.12, P < 0.05). After 2 months of treatment, the VAS score [(3.12 ± 0.85) points] of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group [(4.08 ± 0.97) points, P < 0.05], Barthel index [(64.72 ± 6.98) points] and FMA score [(58.70 ± 5.58) points] were significantly higher than those of the control group [(56.65 ± 6.72), (51.43 ± 5.33) points, P < 0.05]. After 2 months of treatment, serum levels of TNF-α [(12.30 ± 2.35) ng/L], IFN-γ [(10.87 ± 2.26) ng/L] and IL-1β [(324.28 ± 127.60) ng/L] of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group [(14.35 ± 3.13), (15.76 ± 3.21), (390.29 ± 131.37) ng/L, P < 0.05]. Conclusion:Ossotide combined with antibiotics can improve the therapeutic effect of brucellosis osteoarthritis and reduce the serum levels of TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-1β.
