1.Chikungunya fever: a comprehensive scientific understanding and prevention and control strategies
Journal of Public Health and Preventive Medicine 2025;36(5):1-7
Chikungunya fever (CHIKF) has evolved from a regional, sporadically occurring infectious disease into a global public health challenge. The accelerated spread of the pandemic is primarily driven by the increasing adaptability and genetic variation of the virus , coupled with the expanding geographical range of Aedes albopictus mosquitoes . In endemic areas, asymptomatic carriers during the incubation period and subclinical infections constitute significant sources of transmission . Concurrently , pressure exists to prevent both imported cases and local transmission . While Aedes albopictus demonstrates higher transmission capability than Aedes aegypti , and transmission routes like blood transfusion and mother-to-child are uncommon in non-endemic areas , their associated risks remain relatively high in highly endemic regions. Most cases present with acute fever , arthralgia and rash , and As no specific antiviral treatment exists, clinical management primarily focuses on symptomatic and supportive care . The limitations of traditional chemical vector control and environmental management for mosquito elimination , combined with factors like insecticide resistance , result in suboptimal long-term vector control effectiveness . Furthermore , the limited accessibility of vaccines presents significant challenges to the sustainability of control strategies . Facing these multi-dimensional challenges , a comprehensive understanding of the disease and scientific control measures are imperative . This balances mosquito control with ecological protection through precise identification of breeding sites , optimization of vector control methods to minimize environmental impact , and enhanced efficiency in vector management . It requires integrating symptom control with causal intervention, developing more specific antiviral therapeutics and explore sequential therapeutic approaches (e.g. , “antiviral + immunomodulatory” regimens) to mitigate severe outcomes and chronic sequelae. It demands strengthening community-based governance integrated with precision-targeted interventions, establishing a robust end-to-end containment system (“imported cases–local transmission–source tracing–vector surveillance”) for rapid interruption of local transmission chains . Finally , it involves advancing the integration of biotechnology and intelligent monitoring to advance intelligent mosquito monitoring systems for real-time early warning , and construct a stable , sustainable vector control ecosystem integrating chemical , biological , and physical methods to suppress vector population density , reduce transmission risk, and elevate overall control efficacy.

Objective :
To evaluate the implementation, application, and problems and suggestions of the Radiation Shield-
ing Requirements in Room of Radiotherapy Installations—Part 1: General Principle (GBZ/T 201.1—2007) through a survey of relevant personnel in radiation health technical service institutions, and to provide a scientific basis for further revision and implementation of this standard.
Methods:
A questionnaire survey was conducted among randomly selected per-
sonnel in radiation health technical services across China, which mainly investigated the awareness, training, application, and
revision suggestions related to the GBZ/T 201.1—2007. The results were aggregated and analyzed.
Results:
A total of 184 evaluation questionnaires on the GBZ/T 201.1—2007 were collected from technical service staff in 25 provinces. Among the
responders, 64.1% thought that the standard had been widely applied; 91.8% thought that the standard could meet work
needs; only 54.3% ever received relevant training on the standard; 68.5% used the standard once or more per year; 33.7% thought that the standard needed to be revised.
Conclusion
The personnel in radiation health technical services have a high
awareness rate of the GBZ/T 201.1—2007 and its contents, but their familiarity with and application of the standard need to
be improved. Relevant departments should strengthen the training and promotion of the standard, and part of the standard should be revised.

Objective:To investigate the epidemiological characteristics, diagnosis, treat-ment and prognosis of gallbladder cancer in China from 2010 to 2017.Methods:The single disease retrospective registration cohort study was conducted. Based on the concept of the real world study, the clinicopathological data, from multicenter retrospective clinical data database of gallbladder cancer of Chinese Research Group of Gallbladder Cancer (CRGGC), of 6 159 patients with gallbladder cancer who were admitted to 42 hospitals from January 2010 to December 2017 were collected. Observation indicators: (1) case resources; (2) age and sex distribution; (3) diagnosis; (4) surgical treatment and prognosis; (5) multimodality therapy and prognosis. The follow-up data of the 42 hospitals were collected and analyzed by the CRGGC. The main outcome indicator was the overall survival time from date of operation for surgical patients or date of diagnosis for non-surgical patients to the end of outcome event or the last follow-up. Measurement data with normal distribu-tion were represented as Mean±SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3) or M(range), and com-parison between groups was conducted using the U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Univariate analysis was performed using the Logistic forced regression model, and variables with P<0.1 in the univariate analysis were included for multivariate analysis. Multivariate analysis was performed using the Logistic stepwise regression model. The life table method was used to calculate survival rates and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curves. Log-rank test was used for survival analysis. Results:(1) Case resources: of the 42 hospitals, there were 35 class A of tertiary hospitals and 7 class B of tertiary hospitals, 16 hospitals with high admission of gallbladder cancer and 26 hospitals with low admission of gallbladder cancer, respectively. Geographical distribution of the 42 hospitals: there were 9 hospitals in central China, 5 hospitals in northeast China, 22 hospitals in eastern China and 6 hospitals in western China. Geographical distribution of the 6 159 patients: there were 2 154 cases(34.973%) from central China, 705 cases(11.447%) from northeast China, 1 969 cases(31.969%) from eastern China and 1 331 cases(21.611%) from western China. The total average number of cases undergoing diagnosis and treatment in hospitals of the 6 159 patients was 18.3±4.5 per year, in which the average number of cases undergoing diagnosis and treatment in hospitals of 4 974 patients(80.760%) from hospitals with high admission of gallbladder cancer was 38.8±8.9 per year and the average number of cases undergoing diagnosis and treatment in hospitals of 1 185 patients(19.240%) from hospitals with low admission of gallbladder cancer was 5.7±1.9 per year. (2) Age and sex distribution: the age of 6 159 patients diagnosed as gallbladder cancer was 64(56,71) years, in which the age of 2 247 male patients(36.483%) diagnosed as gallbladder cancer was 64(58,71)years and the age of 3 912 female patients(63.517%) diagnosed as gallbladder cancer was 63(55,71)years. The sex ratio of female to male was 1.74:1. Of 6 159 patients, 3 886 cases(63.095%) were diagnosed as gallbladder cancer at 56 to 75 years old. There was a significant difference on age at diagnosis between male and female patients ( Z=-3.99, P<0.001). (3) Diagnosis: of 6 159 patients, 2 503 cases(40.640%) were initially diagnosed as gallbladder cancer and 3 656 cases(59.360%) were initially diagnosed as non-gallbladder cancer. There were 2 110 patients(34.259%) not undergoing surgical treatment, of which 200 cases(9.479%) were initially diagnosed as gallbladder cancer and 1 910 cases(90.521%) were initially diagnosed as non-gallbladder cancer. There were 4 049 patients(65.741%) undergoing surgical treatment, of which 2 303 cases(56.878%) were initially diagnosed as gallbladder cancer and 1 746 cases(43.122%) were initial diagnosed as non-gallbladder cancer. Of the 1 746 patients who were initially diagnosed as non-gallbladder cancer, there were 774 cases(19.116%) diagnosed as gallbladder cancer during operation and 972 cases(24.006%) diagnosed as gallbladder cancer after operation. Of 6 159 patients, there were 2 521 cases(40.932%), 2 335 cases(37.912%) and 1 114 cases(18.087%) undergoing ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination before initial diagnosis, respec-tively, and there were 3 259 cases(52.914%), 3 172 cases(51.502%) and 4 016 cases(65.205%) undergoing serum carcinoembryonic antigen, CA19-9 or CA125 examination before initially diagnosis, respectively. One patient may underwent multiple examinations. Results of univariate analysis showed that geographical distribution of hospitals (eastern China or western China), age ≥72 years, gallbladder cancer annual admission of hospitals, whether undergoing ultrasound, CT, MRI, serum carcinoembryonic antigen, CA19-9 or CA125 examination before initially diagnosis were related factors influencing initial diagnosis of gallbladder cancer patients ( odds ratio=1.45, 1.98, 0.69, 0.68, 2.43, 0.41, 1.63, 0.41, 0.39, 0.42, 95% confidence interval as 1.21-1.74, 1.64-2.40, 0.59-0.80, 0.60-0.78, 2.19-2.70, 0.37-0.45, 1.43-1.86, 0.37-0.45, 0.35-0.43, 0.38-0.47, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that geographical distribution of hospitals (eastern China or western China), sex, age ≥72 years, gallbladder cancer annual admission of hospitals and cases undergoing ultrasound, CT, serum CA19-9 examination before initially diagnosis were indepen-dent influencing factors influencing initial diagnosis of gallbladder cancer patients ( odds ratio=1.36, 1.42, 0.89, 0.67, 1.85, 1.56, 1.57, 0.39, 95% confidence interval as 1.13-1.64, 1.16-1.73, 0.79-0.99, 0.57-0.78, 1.60-2.14, 1.38-1.77, 1.38-1.79, 0.35-0.43, P<0.05). (4) Surgical treatment and prognosis. Of the 4 049 patients undergoing surgical treatment, there were 2 447 cases(60.435%) with complete pathological staging data and follow-up data. Cases with pathological staging as stage 0, stage Ⅰ, stage Ⅱ, stage Ⅲa, stage Ⅲb, stage Ⅳa and stage Ⅳb were 85(3.474%), 201(8.214%), 71(2.902%), 890(36.371%), 382(15.611%), 33(1.348%) and 785(32.080%), respectively. The median follow-up time and median postoperative overall survival time of the 2 447 cases were 55.75 months (95% confidence interval as 52.78-58.35) and 23.46 months (95% confidence interval as 21.23-25.71), respectively. There was a significant difference in the overall survival between cases with pathological staging as stage 0, stage Ⅰ, stage Ⅱ, stage Ⅲa, stage Ⅲb, stage Ⅳa and stage Ⅳb ( χ2=512.47, P<0.001). Of the 4 049 patients undergoing surgical treatment, there were 2 988 cases(73.796%) with resectable tumor, 177 cases(4.371%) with unresectable tumor and 884 cases(21.833%) with tumor unassessable for resectabi-lity. Of the 2 988 cases with resectable tumor, there were 2 036 cases(68.139%) undergoing radical resection, 504 cases(16.867%) undergoing non-radical resection and 448 cases(14.994%) with operation unassessable for curative effect. Of the 2 447 cases with complete pathological staging data and follow-up data who underwent surgical treatment, there were 53 cases(2.166%) with unresectable tumor, 300 cases(12.260%) with resectable tumor and receiving non-radical resection, 1 441 cases(58.888%) with resectable tumor and receiving radical resection, 653 cases(26.686%) with resectable tumor and receiving operation unassessable for curative effect. There were 733 cases not undergoing surgical treatment with complete pathological staging data and follow-up data. There was a significant difference in the overall survival between cases not undergoing surgical treatment, cases undergoing surgical treatment for unresectable tumor, cases undergoing non-radical resection for resectable tumor and cases undergoing radical resection for resectable tumor ( χ2=121.04, P<0.001). (5) Multimodality therapy and prognosis: of 6 159 patients, there were 541 cases(8.784%) under-going postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and advanced chemotherapy, 76 cases(1.234%) under-going radiotherapy. There were 1 170 advanced gallbladder cancer (pathological staging ≥stage Ⅲa) patients undergoing radical resection, including 126 cases(10.769%) with post-operative adjuvant chemotherapy and 1 044 cases(89.231%) without postoperative adjuvant chemo-therapy. There was no significant difference in the overall survival between cases with post-operative adjuvant chemotherapy and cases without postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy ( χ2=0.23, P=0.629). There were 658 patients with pathological staging as stage Ⅲa who underwent radical resection, including 66 cases(10.030%) with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and 592 cases(89.970%) without postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. There was no significant difference in the overall survival between cases with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and cases without postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy ( χ2=0.05, P=0.817). There were 512 patients with pathological staging ≥stage Ⅲb who underwent radical resection, including 60 cases(11.719%) with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and 452 cases(88.281%) without postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. There was no significant difference in the overall survival between cases with postoperative adjuvant chemo-therapy and cases without post-operative adjuvant chemo-therapy ( χ2=1.50, P=0.220). Conclusions:There are more women than men with gallbladder cancer in China and more than half of patients are diagnosed at the age of 56 to 75 years. Cases undergoing ultrasound, CT, serum CA19-9 examination before initial diagnosis are independent influencing factors influencing initial diagnosis of gallbladder cancer patients. Preoperative resectability evaluation can improve the therapy strategy and patient prognosis. Adjuvant chemotherapy for gallbladder cancer is not standardized and in low proportion in China.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility of the application of low tube potential scanning in dacryocystography CT.Methods:The mixture of iohexol and saline with the ration of 1∶3 as the dacryocyst was set on the nose wing of the head-neck phantom. The phantom was scanned at 80, 100, 120, 140 kV with appropriate mAs to set the volume CT dose index(CTDI vol)at 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 or 40 mGy. All the images were objectively evaluated to find out the optimal scanning parameters of 80 kV/240 mAs with the same contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR)of conventional scanning condition of 120 kV/180 mAs. A total of 62 patients who conducted dacryocystography CT in Beijing Tongren Hospital from November 2019 to July 2020 were prospectively selected. They were randomly divided equally into conventional scanning group with 120 kV/180 mAs and low tube potential group with 80 kV/240 mAs. The CT number, noise (SD) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of the two groups were measured as the objective evaluation indicators of image quality. The subjective evaluation was performed by two senior radiologists using a double-blind method and a 5-scale system evaluation. Results:For the phantom study, the CNR was positively correlated with CTDI vol under the same tube potential ( r=0.985, 0.965, 0.971, 0.972, P < 0.05). With the same CNR, the radiation dose decreased with lower tube potential. Under the conventional scanning parameters of 120 kV/180 mAs, the CNR was 27.8. At the same CNR, the optimal scanning parameters were 80 kV/240 mAs. For the clinical study, the CTDI vol of conventional scanning group and low tube potential group were 31.2 and 12.8 mGy respectively, 59% decreased in low tube potential group. There were statistically significant differences in CT number of dacryocyst area, CT number of orbital fat area and noise between the two groups ( t=-3.476, 2.601, -5.704, P < 0.05). There was no statistically significante difference in CNR between 2 groups( P>0.05). Two observers had a good consistency ( Kappa >0.75). There was no statistically significante difference in subjective rating between 2 groups( P>0.05). Conclusions:Low tube potential scanning could obtain satisfactory image quality in dacryocystography CT at much lower radiation dose.

Objective To understand the status of radiological diagnosis and radiotherapy in southeaster Chongqing area, and to provide evidence for health authorities to carry out radiological diagnosis and radiotherapy management. Methods The questionnaire survey was carried out in radiological diagnosis and radiotherapy institutions. Results In 2020 there are 224 radiological diagnosis and radiotherapy institutions, including 3 tertiary hospitals and 16 secondary hospitals. Three hospitals carried out radiotherapy, two hospitals carried out nuclear medicine, and seven hospitals carried out interventional radiology. There were 376 sets of radiological diagnosis and radiotherapy equipment, and the number of DR and CT machine was large (58.8% and 14.9% respectively). There were 786 radiological workers (66.9% male), and most of them were X-ray diagnostic workers (85.8%). There were 977, 043 cases of routine X-ray diagnosis(application frequency of 357.7 per 1000 population), mainly in the first level and below hospitals (accounting for 45.3%). There were 391, 067 cases of CT diagnosis (application frequency 143.8 per 1000 population), mainly in secondary hospitals (66.0%). 4860 patients received interventional therapy (application frequency 1.78 per 1000 population) and 781 patients received radiotherapy (application frequency 0.003 per 1000 population), mainly in tertiary hospitals (55.3% and 69.8% respectively). Conclusion Radiological diagnosis and radiotherapy resources in southeast Chongqing area backward and unevenly developed, and there are few hospitals carrying out radiotherapy, nuclear medicine and interventional radiology. Except for Qianjiang district, the level of radiological diagnosis and radiotherapy in the other five districts and counties (autonomous counties) is weak, it is necessary to further improve the level of radiological diagnosis and radiotherapy.
