Article Synopsis
- Pneumococcal Diseases (PDs) are a major public health issue in China, and the introduction of a free 13-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV 13) in Weifang City aims to improve vaccination rates among children aged 6 months to 2 years.
- A study analyzed vaccination data for nearly 594,000 children under 5 years to assess changes in PCV13 coverage before and after the implementation of the program, noting differences based on gender, birth year, and other factors.
- Results showed an increase in vaccination rates post-program, particularly in children over 12 months, but overall coverage remained low, with only 6.59% of children
Article Synopsis
- RSV infection in infants poses significant global health challenges, with cough and shortness of breath being common symptoms, especially in those under one year old.
- A comprehensive review of 47 studies revealed that manifestations of RSV are reported less frequently in medium and low HDI countries compared to high HDI countries.
- The study found that RSV-infected infants are at a higher risk of developing wheezing, with odds ratios indicating significant associations for both immediate and long-term respiratory issues.
Monkeypox is a zoonotic disease. Since the first human monkeypox case was detected in 1970, it has been prevalent in some countries in central and western Africa. Since May 2022, monkeypox cases have been reported in more than 96 non-endemic countries and regions worldwide.

- A nationwide study in China from 2009 to 2019 analyzed over 231,000 patients with acute respiratory infections, revealing significant insights into viral and bacterial infection rates.
- Children under 5 and school-aged children had the highest rates of viral (46.9%) and bacterial (30.9%) infections, with influenza and Streptococcus pneumoniae identified as the leading pathogens.
- The research highlighted complex interactions between different pathogens and suggested that targeted strategies for diagnosis and prevention should consider factors such as age, location, and seasonal variation in respiratory infections.
Background: COVID-19 can lead to increased psychological symptoms such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety among patients with COVID-19. Based on the previous mindfulness-based interventions proved to be effective, this protocol reports a design of a randomized controlled trial aiming to explore the efficacy and possible mechanism of a mindful living with challenge (MLWC) intervention developed for COVID-19 survivors in alleviating their psychological problems caused by both the disease and the pandemic.
Methods: In April 2021, more than 1600 eligible participants from Hubei Province of China will be assigned 1:1 to an online MLWC intervention group or a waitlist control group.
Mortality burden from seasonal influenza in Chongqing, China, 2012-2018.
Hum Vaccin Immunother
July 2020
Purpose: To estimate influenza-associated excess mortality rates (EMRs) in Chongqing from 2012 to 2018.
Methods: We obtained weekly mortality data for all-cause and four underlying causes of death (circulatory and respiratory disease (CRD), pneumonia and influenza (P&I), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and ischemic heart disease (IDH)), and influenza surveillance data, from 2012 to 2018. A negative-binomial regression model was used to estimate influenza-associated EMRs in two age groups (<65 years and ≥65 years).
Background: The seasonal influenza vaccine coverage rate in China is only 1.9 %. There is no information available on the economic burden of influenza-associated outpatient visits and hospitalizations at the national level, even though this kind of information is important for informing national-level immunization policy decision-making.

Twenty-nine cases of patients with suprasellar meningioma diagnosed through enhanced magnetic resonance imaging scans and postoperative histopathologic examination underwent resection of tumors (the largest diameter ranged from 3 cm to 6 cm) by the microsurgical technique of small bone window (about 5 cm × 6 cm) through the interhemispheric approach. Among all cases, 25 (86%) (Simpson I, II) were of total resection of tumors and 4 were of subtotal resection of tumors.

Material And Methods: Twenty-nine cases of patients with suprasellar meningioma diagnosed through enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and postoperative histopathological examination underwent resection of tumours (the largest diameter ranged from 3 cm to 6 cm) by the microsurgical technique of a small bone window (about 4 cm × 5 cm) through the interhemispheric approach.
Results: Among all cases, 25 (86%) (Simpson I, II) were of total resection of tumours and 4 were of subtotal resection of tumours.
Background: Studies have demonstrated that brain oedema formation following spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage is associated with substances derived from blood clots or blood components. However, these studies did not completely reveal the role of blood components in brain oedema formation following traumatic intracerebral haemorrhage (TICH). Here, we explore the role of erythrocytes in brain oedema development by studying the effect of erythrocytes on brain water content (BWC) and expression of haem oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in rats with TICH.
