Objective: To analyze the mortality trend of chronic respiratory diseases in Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province from 2011 to 2024, and predict the mortality from 2025 to 2029, so as to provide the evidence for developing forward-looking prevention and control strategies and targeted intervention measures. Methods: Chronic respiratory disease death surveillance data in Lianyungang City from 2011 to 2024 were collected through the Jiangsu Chronic Disease Management Information Platform. The crude mortality was calculated and standardized using the data of the Sixth National Population Census in 2010. Average annual percent change (AAPC) was used to analyze the mortality trends of chronic respiratory diseases by gender, region, and age in Lianyungang City from 2011 to 2024. The GM (1,1) grey model was established using the crude mortality of chronic respiratory diseases from 2011 to 2024 to predict the crude mortality of chronic respiratory diseases from 2025 to 2029. Results: From 2011 to 2024, the crude mortality and standardized mortality of chronic respiratory diseases in Lianyungang City were 52.20/105 and 36.57/105, respectively. The crude mortality and standardized mortality were 53.14/105 and 43.79/105 in males, respectively, which were higher than 51.17/105 and 30.14/105 in females (both P<0.05). The crude mortality and standardized mortality were 55.62/105 and 39.85/105 in rural areas, respectively, which were higher than 38.11/105 and 24.15/105 in urban areas (both P<0.05). From 2011 to 2024, the standardized mortality of chronic respiratory diseases showed downward trends in the total population, males, females, urban areas, and rural areas (AAPC=-6.956%, -5.175%, -8.659%, -4.290%, and -7.369%, all P<0.05). The crude mortality of chronic respiratory diseases in the total population showed an upward trend with increasing age (P<0.05), reaching a peak of 1 371.20/105 in the ≥80 years group. The top two causes of chronic respiratory disease deaths were chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchial asthma, with 31 792 cases and 3 254 cases, accounting for 82.40% and 8.43%, respectively. The GM (1,1) grey model prediction results showed that the crude mortality of chronic respiratory diseases in the total population from 2025 to 2029 would be 37.91/105, 36.32/105, 34.80/105, 33.34/105, and 31.95/105, respectively (average relative error=8.76%). Conclusions From 2011 to 2024, the mortality of chronic respiratory diseases in Lianyungang City showed a downward trend. The risk of death from chronic respiratory diseases was higher in males, rural areas, and the elderly. It is predicted that the mortality of chronic respiratory diseases will decrease year by year from 2025 to 2029.

This study investigated the full-genome molecular characteristics of a rotavirus vaccine-derived strain,G1P[8]geno-type A group rotavirus RVA/Human-wt/CHN/HN1140/2021/G1P[8](referred to as HN1140).The gene fragments of the HN1140 strain were amplified with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)combined with whole-genome primers to obtain the full genome sequence.Genotyping was performed with the online genotyping tool RotaC 2.0,and similarity and genetic evolution analyses for each gene segment were conducted in DNAstar5.1 and MEGA11.0 software.The genotype of the HN1140 strain was deter-mined to be G1-P[8]-I2-R2-C2-M2-A3-N2-T6-E2-H3.Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that all 11 genomic segments clus-tered closely with the RotaTeq vaccine strains,sharing 99.7%-100%nucleotide sequence similarity.Notably,VP1,VP2,VP6,and NSP2-NSP5 segments showed 100%nucleotide identity with RotaTeq strains.Comparative genomic analysis identified 13 nucleotide and 8 amino acid substitutions between HN1140 and RotaTeq strains,localized within the VP7,VP4,VP1,VP2,VP3,and NSP1 segments.The HN1140 strain exhibited the genotype G1-P[8]-A3-T6-H3,which was consistent with the typical profile of a vaccine-derived reassortant.This strain demonstrated high genetic similarity to RotaTeq vaccine strains,with nucleotide sequence identity ranging from 99.7%to 100%.These findings suggested that HN1140 evolved from RotaTeq vaccine strains through genetic reassortment.

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the clinical characteristics of foot and ankle deformities combined with knee and lower limb deformities and evaluate the advantages, clinical outcomes, and considerations of QIN Sihe's surgical strategy for treating such complex deformities. METHODS: Between January 2022 and December 2024, 32 patients with foot and ankle deformities combined with knee and lower limb deformities were enrolled. The cohort included 23 males and 9 females, aged 10-67 years (mean, 41.1 years). The main etiologies included post-polio sequelae (20 cases) and congenital limb deformities (3 cases). Deformities were categorized as follows: equinovarus foot (12 cases), equinus foot (2 cases), equinovalgus foot (3 cases), equinus foot with swan-neck deformity (2 cases), calcaneus foot (5 cases), foot valgus (2 cases), knee flexion deformity (14 cases), genu recurvatum (4 cases), genu varum (3 cases), genu valgum (3 cases), lower limb shortening (3 cases), and lower limb external rotation (6 cases). QIN Sihe's surgical strategies included osteotomies, tendon releases, and tendon transfers for deformity correction, followed by external fixation for residual deformity adjustment and stabilization. Outcomes were assessed using QIN Sihe's Postoperative Evaluation Criteria for Lower Limb (Foot and Ankle) Deformity Correction and Functional Reconstruction. RESULTS: All patients were followed up 8-32 months (mean, 16.5 months). Complications included pin tract infection (1 case, 1 site), ankle pain (2 cases), delayed healing at the proximal tibial osteotomy site (1 case), and anterior talar dislocation (1 case). At last follow-up, insufficient correction of foot deformity was observed in 1 case; both knee and lower limb deformities were corrected, with only mild recurrence of knee flexion deformity in 1 case. The foot/ankle and knee joint function improved. Based on QIN Sihe's Postoperative Evaluation Criteria for Lower Limb (Foot and Ankle) Deformity Correction and Functional Reconstruction, outcomes were rated as excellent in 30 cases and good in 2 cases, with an excellent-good rate of 100%. CONCLUSION Foot and ankle deformities combined with knee and lower limb deformities are complex, QIN Sihe's surgical strategy can achieve satisfactory clinical outcomes for simultaneous correction.

Group C rotavirus（RVC）is one of the important etiological agents responsible for human rotavirus gastroenteritis（RVGE）. Although its overall detection rate has shown a declining trend in recent years，sporadic outbreaks continue to be reported，highlighting its potential public health threat. RVC infections predominantly occur in preschool children，adolescents，and adults，typically presenting with mild to moderate diarrhea. While most cases are sporadic，cluster outbreaks can also occur. At present，fundamental research on RVC remains limited，particularly regarding its transmission and pathogenesis. Nevertheless，emerging evidence suggests that interspecies transmission may represent a key route of human infection. This review provides a comprehensive overview of current research on RVC-associated gastroenteritis，with a particular focus on its virological characteristics，epidemiological patterns，clinical manifestations，and preventive and control strategies. It aims to offer a theoretical foundation and practical reference for future studies and public health interventions targeting RVC.
