Prevalence and risk factors of anxiety and depression in patients with multi-drug/rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis.

Background: Mental health disorders in patients with multi-drug or rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (MDR/RR-TB) receive consistent attention. Anxiety and depression can manifest and may impact disease progression in patients with MDR/RR-TB. Given the heightened stressors resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, this scenario is even more concerning.

Temporal dynamic in the impact of COVID- 19 outbreak on cause-specific mortality in Guangzhou, China.

Background: Studies related to the SARS-CoV-2 spikes in the past few months, while there are limited studies on the entire outbreak-suppressed cycle of COVID-19. We estimate the cause-specific excess mortality during the complete circle of COVID-19 outbreak in Guangzhou, China, stratified by sociodemographic status.

Methods: Guangzhou Center for Disease Control Prevention provided the individual data of deaths in Guangzhou from 1 January 2018 through 30 June 2020.

Synthesis of silica amino-functionalized microporous organic network composites for efficient on-line solid phase extraction of trace phenols from water.

Microporous organic network (MON) is a promise class of functional materials in solid phase extraction (SPE). However, the previous MON-based SPE works are all focused on off-line mode. The inherent drawbacks of off-line SPE such as complicated operation steps and poor repeatability still hinder the potential applications of MON.

[Epidemiological analysis of malaria prevalence in Jiangsu Province in 2017].

Objective: To understand the malaria epidemic situation and characteristics in Jiangsu Province in 2017, so as to provide the evidence for formulating the targeted strategy of malaria elimination.

Methods: The data of malaria cases in Jiangsu Province in 2016 were collected from China's Routine Diseases Surveillance Information System (CRDSIS).

Results: Totally, 239 imported malaria cases were reported in Jiangsu Province in 2017, and the cases decreased by 22.

[Results analysis of Jiangsu Provincial Malaria Diagnostic Reference Laboratory in 2017].

Objective: To analyze the results of samples testing of Jiangsu Provincial Malaria Diagnostic Reference Laboratory in 2017, so as to provide the evidence for improving the malaria diagnostic performance in this province.

Methods: The samples of reported malaria cases in Jiangsu were collected by the provincial reference laboratory (PRL) in 2017. The microscopy and nucleic acid test were performed to confirm the infection of species of each case, while antigen tests (rapid diagnostic test, RDT) were performed as well.
