Background: Norovirus gastroenteritis outbreaks were common in schools and kindergartens and were more related to faculty knowledge, attitude, and practice level. Gastroenteritis outbreaks caused by norovirus in educational institutions were the prominent cause of Public Health Emergency Events in China. This study aimed to explore the transformation in the contribution of KAP items related to outbreak prevention before and after intervention and the impact of demography factors on the intervention.

This study aims to explore whether the deubiquitinase Usp9x influences the TLR4/NF-B pathway to cause sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (S-AKI). The model of AKI was established in Sprague-Dawley rats using the cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) method, while renal tubular epithelial cell NRK-52E was stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) .

After the severe acute respiratory syndrome epidemic in 2003, China established a comprehensive reporting system for infectious diseases (IDs) and public health emergencies. The relatively lagging warning thresholds, limited warning information, and outdated warning technology are insufficient to meet the needs of comprehensive monitoring for modern KIDs.

To evaluate the performance of "Vaccination Rates Monitoring Report System" implemented by Shenzhen CDC, we conducted an analysis of the data quality and identify key areas for system improvement. Following evaluation guidelines provided by WHO and United States CDC, we established six evaluation attributes: representativeness, simplicity, acceptability, data reliability, stability and timeliness. In eastern, central and western regions of Shenzhen, we selected one district from each region, of which the local CDC and ten CHSCs under jurisdiction were chosen for evaluation.

At present, there are obvious differences in demand for different HPV vaccines. We aimed to investigate knowledge level of cervical cancer and HPV vaccine and its influencing factors among the eligible female recipients in Shenzhen, China, and to analyze the factors influencing choice of 2vHPV vaccine (domestic or imported) would be selected.

Methods: The epidemic curve of COVID-19 was drawn and the impact of the comprehensive non-pharmaceutical interventions and measures was analysed by the different periods of the epidemic.
Results: A total of 427 cases (417 confirmed cases and 10 asymptomatic infectious cases) were reported in Shenzhen, of which 259 (60.

Objective: Our aim was to investigate whether circular RNA (circRNA) circ_0003420 mediates inflammation in sepsis-induced liver damage and to determine the mechanism involved.
Materials And Methods: Liver tissue samples from patients with sepsis and healthy subjects were used to identify differentially expressed circRNAs. Additionally, Kupffer cells were treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to establish an model of sepsis-induced liver damage.
Lung injury caused by chemical gas inhalation is a common clinically severe disease that very easily progresses to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Traditional respiratory support consists mainly of mechanical ventilation, but the prognosis of this condition is still poor. "Awake" extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) maintains oxygenation, improves ventilation, adequately allows the injured lungs to rest, and avoids complications associated with sedation, intubation, and mechanical ventilation.

Previous studies have reported conflicting effects of TSLP on sepsis in mice, and the effect of TSLP on sepsis in humans has not been investigated. In this study, we used the ELISA to measure serum levels of TSLP in patients with sepsis, and used flow cytometry and ELISA to evaluate the proinflammatory phenotype of circulating immune cells.

Objective: To investigate the effect of angiotensin II (Ang II) on the expression of aquaporin 1 (AQP1) in lung of rats with acute lung injury (ALI) and the role of Ang II in the formation of lung edema.
Methods: Forty healthy Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group, model group, Ang II receptor blocker pretreatment group, and Ang II receptor blocker treatment group according to random digits table, with 10 rats in each group. ALI model of rats was reproduced with administration of endotoxin after hemorrhagic shock.
Background: Paraquat (PQ) is an effective herbicide and is widely used in agricultural production, but PQ poisoning is frequently seen in humans with the lung as the target organ. Clinically pulmonary pathological changes are often used to predict the severity and prognosis of the patients. In this study, we observed the expression of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in rat lung after PQ poisoning and to investigate the therapeutic effects of ulinastatin.
