		                        			Diabetes is a common chronic non-infectious disease. Diabetic patients not only suffer from metabolic disorders, but are also prone to immune deficiencies and are at a higher risk of being infected with human papillomavirus (HPV). Many studies at home and abroad have shown that the HPV infection rate of patients with diabetes is higher than that of non-diabetic patients. Patients with diabetes can benefit from HPV vaccination, and the tolerance is good. HPV vaccination is recommended for diabetic patients. This article reviews the research on diabetes, HPV infection, and HPV vaccine, which will provide references for HPV vaccination in diabetic patients.

		                        			Abstract: Objective To establish a screening-diagnosis-evaluation system of neonatal congenital heart disease (CHD) suitable for Hainan Province based on the application of percutaneous blood oxygen saturation measurement and cardiac auscultation screening, and to provide a basis for further promotion of the evaluation effect. Methods Screening agencies (all midwifery institutions) used the "double index method" to screen newborns for congenital heart disease. Those who were screened positive for any index were transferred to diagnostic institutions (the people's hospitals of all cities and counties and some tertiary hospitals) for echocardiography examination within 1 week. Those with abnormal results were transferred to the treatment institution (two tertiary hospitals) for reconfirmation and evaluation. All data were managed online. Results In this study, 96 913 newborns born in midwifery institutions in 19 cities and counties were screened, with a response rate of 99.44%. The ratio of male infants (50 836) to female infants (46 077) was 1.10∶1. A total of 2 284 positive patients were screened by dual index method, and ultrasound diagnosis was performed, with the rate of cardiac ultrasonography of 98.07% (2 240/2 284) and a high response rate. A total of 238 cases of congenital heart disease were diagnosed (incidence rate of 0.25%), with the top three main types were ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, and patent ductus arteriosus. The sensitivity (88.24%) and Youden index (0.86) of dual-indicator screening for CHD detection were significantly higher than the other separate indicators. Through Kappa consistency test analysis, the consistency of dual-indicator screening with simple heart murmur screening results was excellent, with a Kappa coefficient value of 0.835 (>0.75); the consistency of dual-indicator screening and simple POX screening results was good, with a Kappa coefficient value of 0.429 (between 0.40-0.75), and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.001). By the end of the study, 136 children had undergone open-chest/occlusion surgery, with good postoperative recovery, and the rest were followed up. Conclusions The neonatal CHD screening-diagnosis-assessment technology system established in this study, with close connections between various blocks, high screening response rate and echocardiography examination rate, is beneficial for the early diagnosis and treatment of CHD children, and has certain application value in institutions at all levels in Hainan Province, and is worth further promotion.

		                        			To investigate the awareness of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine knowledge among women in Hainan Province and the willingness to receive HPV vaccination among women and their daughters, so as to provide insights into HPV vaccine promotion and cervical cancer control. 
		                        		
		                        			Methods:
		                        			Women aged 20 to 64 years who participated in the cervical cancer screening program in Hainan Province from July 2021 to February 2022 were enrolled, and participants' demographics, awareness of knowledge about HPV vaccine, and willingness to receive HPV vaccination among themselves and their daughters using a questionnaire survey. The factors affecting willingness to receive HPV vaccination were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model.
		                        		
		                        			Results:
		                        			A total of 4 300 questionnaires were allocated and 4 023 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 93.56%.

		                        			Abstract:  Objective To evaluate the free thalassaemia screening programme for preconception and pregnancy in Hainan Province, and to provide a theoretical basis for optimizing the screening process for thalassaemia. Methods    From November 2020 to July 2021, a survey was conducted on 10 396 adults with Hainan household registration who participated in the Epidemiological Survey of Thalassemia in Hainan Residents in 19 cities and counties of Hainan Province. All of them underwent routine blood tests, haemoglobin electrophoresis tests and genetic tests for thalassaemia. The optimal diagnostic cut-off values for mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), and haemoglobin adult type 2 (HbA2) were determined using screening test indexes such as receiver operating characteristic curve and sensitivity. The diagnostic effectiveness of different primary screening programs for thalassemia gene carriers was evaluated. Results    Using the existing MCV single-indicator thalassemia primary screening protocol in Hainan Province, where individuals with MCV<82 fL undergo thalassemia gene testing, resulted in a high missed diagnosis rate (34.06%) and low sensitivity (65.94%). The optimal cut-off values for MCV screening for alpha-and beta-thalassaemia were 84.45 fL and 79.05 fL, respectively; the optimal cut-off values for MCH screening for alpha-and beta-thalassaemia were 27.95 pg and 25.15 pg, respectively. The optimal cut-off value for HbA2 screening for alpha-thalassaemia was less than 2.55% and greater than 3.35% for beta-thalassaemia. The "combined HbA2 or MCH or MCV screening protocol" with the cut-off values recommended in this study had a better performance in primary screening for thalassemia, with the highest sensitivity (92.96%) and negative predictive value (92.67%) and the lowest underdiagnosis rate (7.04%), statistically significant differences compared with the existing protocol (P<0.05). Conclusions    The current process of screening for thalassemia in Hainan Province may lead to missed diagnoses. The combined use of MCV, MCH and HbA2 for thalassemia screening, adopting locally suitable cutoff values for primary screening indicators, can improve the incidence of missed reporting of thalassemia and enhance diagnostic effectiveness.

		                        			Abstract: Objective    To explore the trend of maternal mortality in Hainan Province during the period of 2003-2022, both in the province and in urban and rural areas, and to forecast the maternal mortality rate for the period 2023-2025. Methods    The 2003-2022 data collected from Hainan Province's three-tier network for maternal mortality surveillance was examined using the Chi-square test for trend (CMH) to analyze the province-wide and urban-rural maternal mortality trends. The time series model forecasting using exponential smoothing was used to predict the maternal mortality rate in Hainan Province from 2023 to 2025. Results From 2003 to 2022, a total of 201 011 616 live births and 463 maternal deaths were reported in Hainan Province, with a maternal mortality rate of 23.03 per 100 000. Over 20 years, the maternal mortality rate in Hainan Province showed a downward trend, with an annual rate of decline of -4.13%. The rate decreased significantly during this period.. From 2003 to 2022, the maternal mortality rate in rural areas of Hainan Province was 25.74/100 000 (373/1 448 943), and it was significantly higher than that in urban areas, 16.04/100 000 (90/561 173). In the first 10 years, the gap between urban and rural areas progressively reduced, but it widened significantly in the last decade, especially after 2017. The maternal mortality rate was significantly lower in urban than rural areas, and the differences had statistical significance. The annual rates of decline in maternal mortality in Hainan Province and in urban and rural areas from 2003 to 2022 were -5.0% and -3.71%, respectively, showing a negative growth with the decrease rate in rural areas lower than urban areas. The maternal mortality rate in Hainan Province showed a fluctuating downward trend, different from the stable trend of national decrease. The mortality rates for direct obstetric causes of death (233 cases) and indirect obstetric causes of death (230 cases) were 11.59/100 000 and 11.44/100 000, respectively. The results of the maternal mortality review showed a predominance of avoidable deaths (315 cases, 68.03%). Brown's cubic exponential smoothing predicted the maternal mortality rate in Hainan Province for 2023-2025 as 9.45/100 000, 8.17/100 000, and 6.89/100 000. Conclusions The maternal mortality rate in Hainan Province is largely influenced by maternal deaths in rural areas, and maternal health care in rural areas should be emphasized. Measures such as intervening to address the main factors influencing avoidable maternal deaths, strengthening high-risk maternal management, improving the level of critical maternal care, and providing subsidies for critical maternal care can sustainably reduce the maternal mortality rate in Hainan.

		                        			High fluoride exposure induces not only skeletal damage such as dental fluorosis and skeletal fluorosis, but also injury on the cardiovascular system. In this article, we elaborated on the effects of high fluoride exposure on cardiovascular diseases such as heart injury, vascular sclerosis, hypertension and hyperlipidemia by reviewing domestic and foreign literatures in the last decade. We analyzed the damage effects and mechanisms of high fluoride exposure from the perspectives of population epidemiology, animal experiments and in vitro cell experiments, and proposed that prospective cohort studies on the effects of high fluoride exposure on cardiovascular system damage should be further strengthened. This paper provides a scientific basis and new ideas for the prevention and treatment of endemic fluorosis and cardiovascular diseases.

		                        			Objective   To comprehensively evaluate the health education effects of iodine deficiency disorders in different areas of Tianjin, and to provide a reference for improving the quality of iodine deficiency disorders health education.   Methods   The rank sum ratio method (RSR), TOPSIS and fuzzy combination were used to comprehensively evaluate the effect of health education intervention on iodine deficiency disorders in 16 areas of Tianjin.   Results   The evaluation results of RSR, TOPSIS and fuzzy combination method ranked N, D, and E areas in the last three places, while G, F, and P areas ranked first, second, and third. Combined with the RSR method, it was shown that in the evaluation of the effects of iodine deficiency health education interventions in 16 areas, the health education effect in G, F and P areas was classified as superior,  the health education effect in D ,E and N areas was classified as inferior, and other areas were moderate.   Conclusion   The fuzzy combined RSR-TOPSIS method avoided the limitation of using either RSR or TOPSIS alone and made the conclusion more objective and accurate, and provided comprehensive quantitative results for the health education of iodine deficiency diseases in different areas of Tianjin. This fuzzy combination method objectively evaluated the intervention effect of health education in different areas, which provides a reference for improving the quality of health education for iodine deficiency disorders.

		                        			Objective   To explore the relationship between fluoride exposure levels and thyroid structure and function in school-age children, and to provide epidemiological evidence for the prevention and treatment of thyroid diseases and for the control of high fluoride hazards. Methods In 2019, 217 children aged 8-10 years were selected from 3 primary schools in the historical high fluoride area of Tianjin. Basic information was collected by questionnaire surveys. Urine and blood samples were collected for the determination of urine iodine, urine fluoride, and thyroid hormone as well as antibodies. The dental fluorosis was examined by Dean’s method and the thyroid structure was examined by ultrasound.   Results   There was no significant difference in gender, age and BMI of children with different urine fluoride levels (P>0.05). There was significant difference in the degree of dental fluorosis among children with different urine fluoride levels(χ2=16.263, P=0.012), and the prevalence of dental fluorosis was higher in children with higher urine fluorine level. There was no significant difference in goiter, nodule, hypothyroidism, hypothyroidism and antibody double positive distribution among children with different urine fluoride levels (P>0.05), but the distribution of TGAb+ or TPOAb+ showed significant difference (χ2=8.697,P=0.034). Logistic analysis showed that there was no correlation between urinary fluoride level and antibody single positive (P>0.05).   Conclusion   Compared with children with low fluoride exposure levels, children with high fluoride exposure have higher antibody single positive rate, but comprehensive analysis do not find a positive correlation between urinary fluoride level and thyroid structure and disease.
