Objective:
To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of pertussis in Jiaxing City from 2004 to 2023 and spatio-temporal clustering characteristics from 2022 to 2023, so as to provide insights into formulation of pertussis control measures.
Methods:
Data of pertussis cases in Jiaxing City from 2004 to 2023 were collected through the Infectious Disease Report Information System of Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. The epidemiological characteristics of pertussis cases in Jiaxing City from 2004 to 2023 were descriptively analyzed, and the spatio-temporal clustering characteristics from 2022 to 2023 were analyzed using spatio-temporal scanning.
Results:
A total of 478 pertussis cases were reported in Jiaxing City from 2004 to 2023, with an average annual reported incidence of 0.53/105. The reported incidence showed an upward trend from 2004 to 2023 (P<0.05), with the highest in 2022 (3.17/105). Higher incidence of pertussis was reported in June to August (149 cases, 31.17%) and November to December (112 cases, 23.43%). There was no statistically significant difference in the reported incidence between males and females (0.56/105 vs. 0.50/105, P>0.05). The cases aged under one year accounted for the highest proportion, with 199 cases (41.63%). Haining City (0.68/105), Jiashan County (0.64/105) and Tongxiang City (0.60/105) ranked the top three in the reported incidence of pertussis. Spatio-temporal scanning analysis showed that from 2022 to 2023, the primary clustering area of pertussis was centered in Daqiao Town of Nanhu District, covering 27 towns (streets) in Nanhu District, Jiashan County, Xiuzhou District and Pinghu City, and the clustering time was from November to December, 2023.
Conclusions
The reported incidence of pertussis was at a low level in Jiaxing City, but showed an upward trend from 2004 to 2023. The incidence of pertussis was higher among infants under one year of age, peaked in June to August and November to December, and was concentrated in Nanhu District and its surrounding areas.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of anlotinib on the malignant phenotype of glioma cells by regulating the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway. METHODS Human glioma T98G cells were cultured in vitro, and 5-fluorouracil was used as positive control to investigate the effects of different concentrations of anlotinib (5, 10, 20 μmol/L) on the ability of proliferation, adhesion, migration and invasion, the expressions of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) related proteins [E-cadherin, N-cadherin, vimentin and fibronectin (FN)]. NF- κB signaling pathway inhibitor (BAY 11-7082) and activator (prostratin) were additionally used to verify the possible mechanism of the above effects of anlotinib. RESULTS Anlotinib with 5, 10, 20 μmol/L could significantly decrease the activity of cell proliferation (except for 5 μmol/L anlotinib group), migration rate, and the number of adherent cells and invasive cells, could significantly up-regulate the expression of E-cadherin protein while down-regulate the expressions of N-cadherin, vimentin and FN protein (P<0.05); the effect of 20 μmol/L anlotinib was similar to that of positive control (P>0.05). Compared with 10 μmol/L anlotinib, pathway inhibitor could significantly decrease the ability of proliferation, adhesion, migration and invasion, and the expressions of N-cadherin, vimentin, FN and phosphorylated NF-κB p65 protein, while could significantly up-regulate the expression of E-cadherin protein (P<0.05); above indexes were reversed significantly by pathway activator (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Anlotinib may inhibit the proliferation, adhesion, migration and invasion of human glioma T98G cells, which may be associated with the inhibition of the NF-κB signaling pathway, thus inhibiting cell EMT-like processes.

The research focus of diabetes, a common chronic metabolic disease, has shifted from individual factors to environmental factors at the population level. Epidemiological studies suggest an association between exposure to environmental pollutants and the risk of diabetes. Major environmental pollutants include organochlorine pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls, phthalates and their metabolites, and arsenics, which primarily enter the human body through the skin, respiratory tract, and digestive system. Long-term exposure to these pollutants can affect the pathology of diabetes through various mechanisms, such as promoting insulin resistance, causing insulin secretion deficiencies, inducing oxidative stress-induced glucose metabolism disorders, and affecting DNA methylation. However, the potential damaging mechanism of the impact of environmental pollutants on diabetes remain unclear. Limitations such as insufficient sample sizes, uncertainties regarding exposure time and dosage, and differences between single and co-exposures. In the future, it is necessary to focus on exploring and analyzing the mechanisms of environmental pollutant exposure on diabetes to develop effective prevention strategies, control and reduce the incidence and development of diabetes, and provide new insights into its diagnosis and treatment.
