Article Synopsis
- Upper respiratory infections (URIs) are prevalent worldwide, making it essential for governments to understanding their impact for effective healthcare planning and resource allocation.
- An analysis of the GBD 2021 data showed a significant decline in various URI metrics (incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability) from 1990 to 2021, particularly affecting the elderly and young children.
- Future projections indicate a rise in URI incidence and prevalence from 2022 to 2050, while mortality rates are expected to decline, highlighting ongoing public health challenges, especially related to factors like low birth weight.
Background: Sepsis is a complex and life-threatening systemic disease. A positive blood culture is the criterion standard of diagnosis for sepsis; however, it does not produce results for 24 to 72 hours. Besides, the clinical manifestations of sepsis are variable and nonspecific.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aims to forecast monthly echinococcosis cases in China using the ARIMA model to aid in disease prevention and control.
- - Two ARIMA models were developed based on different time periods (2007-2015 and 2007-2014), with the latter showing a better prediction accuracy (0.56% error compared to -13.97%).
- - Results indicate that different time series data may require distinct ARIMA models, and ongoing adjustments to the model are necessary as more data becomes available to improve prediction accuracy.
[Effects of rosiglitazone on peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-γ pathway in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease].

Objective: To explore the effects of rosiglitazone on peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ), nuclear factor-κB and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Methods: From Apr. 2010 to Nov.
Objective: To explore the relationship between coagulation/anticoagulation imbalance and oxidative stress in the patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease during acute exacerbation (AECOPD) before and after treatment.
Methods: Plasma tissue factor (TF) and tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) activity was detected by chromogenic assay in 28 AECOPD patients before and after treatment as well as in 30 healthy controls. The total antioxidative capacity (TAC), malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) in plasma were measured in both groups.
