Introduction: A comprehensive analysis of nationwide survival trends for people living with human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS, PLWHA) from the initial reported case to present has not been conducted. This study evaluated the survival outcomes of PLWHA reported in China from 1985 to 2022.
Methods: We analyzed data from PLWHA recorded in the National HIV/AIDS Comprehensive Response Information Management System from 1985 to 2022.
African swine fever (ASF), which is caused by the African swine fever virus (ASFV). There are currently no effective vaccines or therapies for ASF; rapid diagnosis has become an important way to control the disease. The p11.

This behavior is particularly prevalent among young men who have sex with men (YMSM). However, limited research has been conducted to investigate the correlation between recreational drug use and HIV incidence within this population.

Methods: Plasma samples and epidemiological information were collected from 4180 newly diagnosed HIV-1 positive patients in Zhejiang Province in 2021. Pol sequences were obtained to determine the subtypes via multiple analytical tools.
Intracranial aneurysm (IA) is a common cerebrovascular disease. Immune system disorders and endothelial dysfunction are essential mechanisms of its pathogenesis. This study aims to explore the therapeutic effect and mechanism of Geniposide (Gen) on IA, which has a protective impact on endothelial cells and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Our findings revealed that 38.56% (386/1001) of individuals clustered across 109 molecular transmission clusters (TCs), with MSM aged 50 and below being the group most commonly transmitting HIV-1.

Currently, there is a lack of studies that have comprehensively classified the cells present in hematomas removed during surgery, and their correlation with CSDH recurrence remains elusive. This study aims to analyse the subcellular populations and occupancy levels within peripheral blood.

Little was known about long-term effects of COVID-19 prevention and control strategies on sexual behaviors among men who have sex with men (MSM). This study aimed to examine changes in risky sexual behaviors of MSM before and after the local epidemic.

In this study, we purified 14 type 3 original viral isolates from this case and characterized the molecular evolution of these iVDPVs for 298 days. Genetic variants were found in most of the original viral isolates, with complex genetic and evolutionary relationships among the variants.

This study aimed to assess existing evidence on treatment failure and its associated factors among PLHIV in mainland China.
Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, WanFang, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and SinoMed databases.
Coxsackievirus A12 (CVA12) is an enterovirus that has been isolated in many countries in recent years. However, studies on CVA12 are limited, and its effective population size, evolutionary dynamics and recombination patterns have not been clarified now. In this study, we described the phylogenetic characteristics of 16 CVA12 strains isolated from pediatric HFMD patients in mainland China from 2010 to 2019.

Based on the national hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) surveillance system, seven strains of echovirus 33 (E33) were isolated from Mainland of China between 2010 and 2018. The whole genomes of these strains were isolated and sequenced, and phylogenetic trees were constructed based on the gene sequences in different regions of the prototype strains.

Enterovirus 76 (EV-A76) is a serotype of enterovirus A and has been rarely reported. In this paper, we present the genetic characteristics of 15 EV-A76 isolates reported to circulate in the Xinjiang Uighur autonomous region of China in 2011. Sequence analysis revealed that all Chinese EV-A76 isolates had high similarity (> 98.

Nucleotide sequencing revealed that the full-length VP1 of 19 CVA9 isolates was 906 bases encoding 302 amino acids. The combination of the thresholds of the phylogenetic tree and nucleotide divergence of different genotypes within the same serotype led to a value of 15-25%, and enabled CVA9 worldwide to be categorized into ten genotypes: A-J.

Background: China implemented the globally synchronized switch from trivalent oral poliovirus vaccine (tOPV) to bivalent OPV (bOPV) on May 1, 2016. During April 2018 to May 2019, the first outbreak caused by type 2 circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV2) after the switch occurred in Xinjiang and Sichuan, China. We performed sequence analysis of VP1 and the whole genome to determine the genomic characteristics of type 2 cVDPVs, and carried out coverage surveys to assess the risk of viral propagation.
