Objective:To understand the epidemiological characteristics of human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) among acute respiratory infection (ARI) cases in 16 provinces of China from 2009 to 2023.Methods:The data of this study were collected from the ARI surveillance data from 16 provinces in China from 2009 to 2023, with a total of 28 278 ARI cases included in the study. The clinical specimens from ARI cases were screened for HRSV nucleic acid from 2009 to 2023, and differences in virus detection rates among cases of different age groups, regions, and months were analyzed.Results:A total of 28 278 ARI cases were enrolled from January 2009 to September 2023. The age of the cases ranged from<1 month to 112 years, and the age M ( Q1, Q3) was 3 years (1 year, 9 years). Among them, 3 062 cases were positive for HRSV nucleic acid, with a total detection rate of 10.83%. From 2009 to 2019, the detection rate of HRSV was 9.33%, and the virus was mainly prevalent in winter and spring. During the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the detection rate of HRSV fluctuated between 6.32% and 18.67%. There was no traditional winter epidemic peak of HRSV from the end of 2022 to the beginning of 2023, and an anti-seasonal epidemic of HRSV occurred from April to May 2023. About 87.95% (2 693/3 062) of positive cases were children under 5 years old, and the difference in the detection rate of HRSV among different age groups was statistically significant ( P<0.001), showing a decreasing trend of HRSV detection rate with the increase of age ( P<0.001). Among them, the HRSV detection rate (25.69%) was highest in children under 6 months. Compared with 2009-2019, the ranking of HRSV detection rates in different age groups changed from high to low between 2020 and 2023, with the age M (Q1, Q3) of HRSV positive cases increasing from 1 year (6 months, 3 years) to 2 years (11 months, 3 years). Conclusion:Through 15 years of continuous HRSV surveillance analysis, children under 5 years old, especially infants under 6 months old, are the main high-risk population for HRSV infection. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the prevalence and patterns of HRSV in China have changed.

Objective:To understand the iodine nutritional status of Hohhot residents, and to provide a basis for scientific prevention and control of iodine deficiency disease and reasonable iodine supplementation.Methods:The stratified cluster sampling method was used to conduct a survey on the iodine nutritional status of residents in 9 banners (counties and districts) of Hohhot City in 2022. Each flag (county, district) was divided into 5 sampling areas according to the east, west, south, north and center directions, and 1 school was selected from each area, 40 children aged 8 to 10 years old were selected from each school (balanced in terms of age, half of both sexes), and 100 pregnant women (balanced in the early, middle and late stages of pregnancy) were selected from each flag (county, district), and the salt samples of household salt were collected as well as random urine samples for the determination of salt iodine and urine iodine content. In 3 randomly selected banners (counties and districts), 40 children were selected from each banner (county and district) and their thyroid volume was measured using ultrasound.Results:A total of 2 710 salt samples of edible salt were collected, including 32 samples of non-iodized salt, with a median salt iodine of 21.6 mg/kg, an iodized salt coverage rate of 98.7% (2 675/2 710), and a qualified iodized salt consumption rate of 92.8% (2 515/2 710). There are 1 803 salt samples from children's homes, with a median salt iodization of 21.9 mg/kg, the iodized salt coverage rate was 99.1% (1 786/1 803), and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 93.1% (1 678/1 803). Nine hundred and eight salt samples of edible salt were collected from the homes of pregnant women. The median salt iodine was 21.4 mg/kg, the iodized salt coverage rate was 98.0% (890/907), and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 92.2% (837/907). The median urinary iodine for children and pregnant women was 198.5 and 169.9 μg/L. The rate of goiter in children was 3.6% (22/602).Conclusion:In 2022, residents of Hohhot are at the appropriate level of iodine, salt iodine coverage, urinary iodine for children and pregnant women, and goiter rate for children are all in line with the standard for elimination of iodine deficiency diseases, and iodine deficiency diseases are in a state of continuous elimination.
