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.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the causal association between ticagrelor and risk of infection METHODS Two-sample Mendelian randomization was adopted. Genetic instrumental variables were selected based on the results of the largest genome-wide association analysis to in vivo exposure of ticagrelor and its major active metabolite AR-C124910XX. The causal associations of ticagrelor and its major active metabolite AR-C124910XX with drug indications (coronary artery disease, unstable angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, stroke and ischemic stroke)were analyzed by inverse variance weighted Mendelian randomization model as a positive control for genetic instrumental variables. The causal relationship between ticagrelor and bacterial infection, acute lower respiratory infection, bacterial pneumoniae, pneumoniae,acute upper respiratory infection and sepsis were furtheranalyzed by using this method, and the robustness of the results was assessed by using heterogeneity tests and horizontal 202002030415) pleiotropy tests. RESULTS The increase of area under the curve at steady state (AUCss) of the genetic surrogated ticagrelor significantly reduced the risk of coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction and unstable angina pectoris (P<0.001). AUCss genetic instrument variables of its main active metabolite AR-C124910XX failed to pass positive control. Further analysis showed that the increase of the genetic surrogated ticagrelor exposure suggestively reduced the risk of bacterial infection [OR(95%CI)=0.80(0.65,0.99),P=0.040] and sepsis [OR (95%CI)=0.84(0.73, 0.98), P=0.023]. The results of the heterogeneity tests showed that there was no heterogeneity in the causal association of the genetic surrogated ticagrelor AUCss with bacterial infection and sepsis (P>0.05). The results of horizontal pleiotropy tests showed that the causal association of genetic surrogated ticagrelor AUCss with bacterial infection and sepsis had no effects on horizontal pleiotropy (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Ticagrelor has a potential role in reducing the risk of sepsis and bacterial infections.

Objective:To analyze the time of recovery to the respiratory baseline after treatment of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and the possible influencing factors.Methods:The preterm infants with ROP who received ophthalmic treatment from January 2016 to December 2020 in the Department of Neonatology, Guangdong Women and Children′s Hospital were enrolled retrospectively.The baby who received vitreous injection were included in the injection group, and who received laser photocoagulation were included in the photocoagulation group.The patients were divided into two groups according to whether they returned to the respiratory baseline within 48 hours after ROP surgery.Relevant data were collected, including respiratory baseline, the respiratory status 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 96 hours, 5 days and 7 days after treatment, gestational age, birth weight, gender, corrected gestational age at surgery, weight at surgery, laser points, and treatment location.Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for continuous variables. Data were expressed as the number and percentage of patients for categorical variables, using Chi-square test or Fisher′ s exact test. Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors.The time taken by preterm infants to return to the preoperative respiratory baseline after treatment and its influencing factors were analyzed. Results:A total of 386 ROP infants were included in this study.There were 157 infants who did not return to the respiratory baseline within 48 hours after treatment.No significant difference in the source, gender, gestational age, birth weight, corrected gestational age at surgery, weight at surgery, and respiratory pressure support required before surgery were found between the group who returned to the respiratory baseline within 48 hours and the group who did not (all P>0.05). However, there were significant differences in treatment methods and location between two groups (all P<0.01). The ratio of returning to the respiratory baseline in the group receiving intravitreal injection was significantly different from that in the group treated with laser therapy at 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, and 96 h after treatment (77% vs.14%, 82% vs.33%, 86% vs.58%, 89% vs.76%; all P<0.01). There was no difference in that ratio between two groups at 5 d and 7 d after treatment (91% vs.86%, 95% vs.92%; P>0.05). Of the 157 infants who did not return to the respiratory baseline within 48 hours after treatment, 108 cases (68.8%) required additional supplemental oxygen, whereas 153 cases (98.5%) required more intensive respiratory support ( P<0.001). According to the multivariate Logistic regression analysis results, the preterm infants who received laser therapy were less likely to return to the respiratory baseline within 48 hours than those who received intravitreal injection ( OR=0.099, 95% CI: 0.060-0.164). A small corrected gestational age at surgery was an independent risk factor for infants not returning to the respiratory baseline within 48 hours ( OR=1.147, 95% CI: 1.009-1.302). Conclusions:Infants with ROP who receive intravitreal injection can return to the respiratory baseline more quickly than those who underwent laser photo-coagulation under. The difference persisted up to 4 days. The smaller the corrected gestational age at treatment, the less likely return to the respiratory baseline within 48 hours in photocoagulation group..

Objective:To investigate the effects of different connection schemes of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) on arterial pressure (PA), venous pressure (PV), and transmembrane pressure (TMP), and to provide a theoretical basis for choosing a suitable connection scheme.Methods:① In vitro study: the different connection schemes of CRRT and ECMO were simulated and divided into 6 schemes according to the connection between CRRT and ECMO circuits at different positions. Scheme A: connected to the front and back points of the oxygenator; scheme B: connected to the points behind and in front of the oxygenator; scheme C: connected to the points in front of the oxygenator and in front of the centrifugal pump; scheme D: connected to the points behind the oxygenator and in front of the centrifugal pump; scheme E: connected to the points in front of the oxygenator and the return catheter; scheme F: connected to the points after the oxygenator and the return catheter. Each set of ECMO circuits was measured 5 times under each connection scheme and different flow rates (2, 3, 4, 5, 5.5 L/min). Six ECMO circuits for a total of 30 measurements, and the PA, PV, and TMP of the 6 schemes were compared. ② In vivo study: the patients who were treated with ECMO combined with CRRT in the department of critical care medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College from August 2017 to August 2021 changed the connection scheme due to high PA or PV (from scheme A or B to scheme E or F) were retrospectively analyzed. The changes of PA and PV before and after changing the scheme were compared. Results:① In vitro study results: there was no significant difference in PA between schemes A and B, C and D, E and F under different ECMO blood flow (2-5.5 L/min). The PA of schemes C and D was the lowest, followed by schemes E and F. PV of scheme B was higher than that of scheme A under different ECMO blood flow (2-5.5 L/min). There was no significant difference in PV between schemes C and D, E and F under high ECMO blood flow (3-5.5 L/min), and the absolute value of PV was lowest in schemes E and F. Compared with schemes A and B [partial PA > 300 mmHg (1 mmHg≈0.133 kPa) at high flow rate], C and D (partial PV > 350 mmHg at high flow rate), schemes E and F were more reasonable connection schemes. TMP was negative in schemes C and D at ECMO blood flow of 5 L/min and 5.5 L/min (mmHg; 5 L/min: scheme C was -29.14±11.42, scheme D was -42.45±15.70; 5.5 L/min: scheme C was -35.75±13.21, scheme D was -41.58±15.42), which indicated the presence of dialysate reverse filtration. Most of the differences in TMP among schemes A, B, E, and F under different ECMO blood flow (2-5.5 L/min) were statistically significant, and the absolute value of mean fluctuation was 9.89-49.55 mmHg, all within the normal range. ② In vivo study results: a total of 10 patients who changed the connection scheme (from scheme A or B to E or F) due to high PA or PV were enrolled, including 8 males and 2 females; 7 cases of venous-arterial ECMO (VA-ECMO) and 3 cases of venous-venous ECMO (VV-ECMO), all used continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) mode. After changing the scheme, both PA and PV decreased significantly as compared with those before changing [PA (mmHg): 244.00±22.58 vs. 257.20±21.92, PV (mmHg): 257.20±18.43 vs. 326.40±15.41, both P < 0.01], and PV decreased more significantly than PA [difference (mmHg): 69.20±6.55 vs. 13.20±5.45, P < 0.01]. Conclusion:For patients treated with ECMO in combination with CRRT, the scheme of connecting the access line of CRRT to the pre-oxygenator or post-oxygenator and connecting the return line to the point of the return catheter can significantly reduce PA and PV and maintains normal CRRT operation even running high-flow ECMO.

Objective:To examine the heritability of body mass index (BMI) and coronary heart disease (CHD), and to explore whether genetic factors can explain their correlation.Methods:Participants were from 11 provinces/municipalities reqistered in the Chinese National Twin Registry (CNTR) from 2010 to 2018. Participants data were collected from face-to-face questionnaire survey. Bivariate structure equation model was used to estimate the heritability and the genetic correlation of BMI and CHD.Results:A total of 20 340 pairs of same-sex twins aged ≥25 years were included in this study. After adjusting for age and gender, the heritability of BMI and CHD was 0.52 (95% CI: 0.49-0.55) and 0.76 (95% CI: 0.69-0.81), respectively. Further, a genetic correlation was identified between BMI and CHD ( rA=0.10, 95% CI:0.02-0.17). Conclusion:In Chinese adult twin population, BMI and CHD are affected by genetic factors, and their correlation can be attributed to the common genetic basis.

Objective:To describe the differences in body mass index (BMI) distribution in adult twins registered in Chinese National Twin Registry (CNTR), and provide evidence for the risk factor analysis and prevention and control of overweight or obesity.Methods:A total of 32 725 twin pairs aged 18 years and above who completed the questionnaire survey during 2010-2018 and had complete registered information in CNTR and normal body weight and length were included in the analysis on the population and region specific distributions of BMI of twin pairs and the difference in BMI in twin pairs.Results:The twin pairs included in the analysis were aged (34.6±12.4) years, the twin pairs of same gender accounted for 79.7%. The average BMI was 22.5 kg/m 2. The overall prevalence of obesity and overweight was 4.9% and 23.7%, respectively. Participants who were men, 50-59 years old, married, had lower education level, and lived in northern China had higher overweight rate and obesity rate ( P<0.001). The difference in overweight or obesity prevalence between monozygotic (MZ) twin pars and dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs was not significant, but firstborn twin pairs had slightly higher rates of overweight and obesity than later-born twin pairs ( P<0.05). The analysis in same gender-twin pairs indicated that the difference in BMI was associated with age (trend test: P<0.001), and the difference was more obvious in DZ twin pair in MZ pair and this difference increased with age. The concordant rate of BMI was higher in MZ twin pairs than DZ twin pairs ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The distribution of BMI of twin pairs varied with population and region and BMI varied with age due to its genetic nature.

Chinese Journal of Epidemiology 2021;42(7):1167-1173
Objective:To explore the modification effect of physical activity on the genetic effects of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods:The univariate moderation model was fitted to calculate the modifying effect of physical activity on the genetic effects of T2DM based on the data of 12 107 pairs of same gender twins aged 30 years and older enrolled by the Chinese National Twin Registry in 11 provinces/cities in China.Results:After adjusting for age and gender, the heritability of T2DM was 0.56 (0.31-0.84). Qualified physical activity could attenuate the genetic effects of T2DM. The heritability of T2DM in twin pairs with qualified physical activity was 0.46 (0.06-0.88), which was lower than that in twin pairs without qualified physical activity during the same model [0.68(0.36-0.94)].Conclusion:T2DM is a moderate genetic disease, physical activity can modify the genetic effects of T2DM.

Objective:To explore the gene-body mass index (BMI) interaction on coronary heart disease (CHD) in the Chinese adult twins.Methods:A total of 20 340 same-sex twin pairs registered in the Chinese National Twin Registry (CNTR) were enrolled in this study. Classical twin structure equation model was used to estimate the gene-BMI interaction on CHD.Results:After adjusting for age, we found that genetic variance of CHD differed as the function of BMI in male twins, which indicated the presence of a gene-BMI interaction on CHD ( P=0.008).The genetic moderating effect ( βa) was -0.14 (95% CI: -0.22--0.04), indicating that for each logarithmic transformation value of BMI increase, genetic path parameters would decrease by 0.14, which would result in the decrease of genetic variance of CHD. And the heritability of CHD was 0.77 (95% CI: 0.65-0.86) among the male twins with lower BMI (<24.0 kg/m 2), but 0.56 (95% CI: 0.33-0.74) among the male twins with high BMI (≥24.0 kg/m 2). However, there was no evidence suggesting that BMI could moderate genetic variants of CHD in female. Conclusion:We found a significant gene-BMI interaction on CHD in the Chinese male adult twins in China, and the heritability of CHD was higher among the twins whose BMI was <24.0 kg/m 2.

OBJECTIVE:To provide evidence-based reference for c linical drug selection and decision by rapidly evaluating the effectiveness,safety and economy of treprostinil in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). METHODS :Retrieved from Chinese and English database such as PubMed ,Embase,Web of Science ,the Cochrane Library ,Epistemonikos,HTA database(University of York ),CNKI and Wanfang databases ,included the health technology assessment (HTA)report,systematic/ Meta-analysis and pharmacoeconomic evaluation of treprostinil compared with placebo or other drugs in the treatment of PAH. The search time limit is from the construction of the database to May 1st,2020. HTA checklist ,AMSTA and CHEERS were applied to evaluate the quali ty of the literatures about HTA ,systematic review/Meta-analysis analysis a nd pharmacoecono mic evaluation and the inclusion studies was analyazed by descriptive summary. RESULTS:A total of 18 literatures were included ,involving 1 HTA report ,12 systematic review/Meta-analysis ,5 pharma- coeconomic studies. The analysis results of effectiven- ess mail: showed that compared with placebo ,treprostinil could signifi- cantly increase 6-MWD while decrease Borg dyspnea score of PAH p atients(P<0.05),but had no significant effect on mortality,the rate of clinical deterioration ,WHO functional grading ,the rate of hospitalization ,mPAP,PVR,cardiac index and mRAP(P>0.05). In addition ,compared with placebo combined with endothelin receptor antagonist and/or phosphodiesterase inhibitors,oral administration of treprostinil combined with endothelin receptor antagonist and/or phosphodiesterase inhibitors could extend 6-MWD significantly. Compared with riociguat ,treprostinil could significantly reduce Borg dyspnea score of patients. The analysis results of safety displayed that ,although the incidence of drug withdrawal due to can ’t tolerate ADR increased in patients receiving treprostinil ,there was no significant difference in the incidence of serious adverse events compared with placebo or other treatments,and it was better tolerated when administered by inhalation or intravenous injection. The analysis results of pharmacoeconomic studies showed that ICER of treprostinil was higher than the willingness payment threshold ,although the willingness payment threshold was different in different countries and different payers. CONCLUSIONS :Treprostinil treatment is effective for PAH. Patients may stop taking it due to can ’t tolerate ADR ,but the risk of serious adverse events are not increase. Although the price is high ,it is still an important alternative for PAH patients with clinical progress or poor prognosis.
