Objectives: The aims of this study were to determine the mechanism of an outbreak of measles in adults and to provide scientific measures for putting forward a measles elimination program.
Methods: We performed a cross-sectional investigation during the measles outbreak to identify a possible communication link.
Results: From November 1, 2011 to January 26, 2012, the town reported 11 cases of measles in total.
Background: Accumulated studies have suggested that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in microRNAs are associated with risk of colorectal cancer (CRC).
Objective: We tested our hypothesis that rs11014002 in hsa-miR-603 may be associated with CRC risk with a crosstalk of life-related factors.
Methods: We conducted a case-control study which included 102 CRC patients and 204 matched cancer-free controls in Xiaoshan County.
Accumulated evidence has indicated that Ephrin A1 (EFNA1) is associated with angiogenesis and tumorigenesis in various types of malignancies, including colorectal cancer (CRC). In the current study, we performed an online search using the public microarray database to investigate whether EFNA1 expression might be altered in CRC tissues. We then conducted a case-control study including 306 subjects (102 cases and 204 well-matched controls) in Xiaoshan County to assess any association between genetic polymorphisms in EFNA1 and CRC susceptibility.

Clinical and epidemiological characteristics on the 6 confirmed human cases in Zhejiang were also analyzed.
Methods: Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to test the nucleic acid of human H7N9 avian influenza infection, from pharyngeal swabs of the patients and their close contacts.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine how clinical and pathological factors affect the prognosis of colorectal cancer in 226 cases.
- Using univariate and multivariate analyses, researchers identified key factors influencing prognosis, such as tumor depth, invasions, lymph node involvement, and TNM stage.
- The findings concluded that six factors—age, TNM stage, tumor budding, perineural invasion, lymphocytic infiltration, and urine glucose—are significant independent predictors of colorectal cancer outcomes.
