Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals generate slant tropospheric delays when they pass through the atmosphere, which is recognized as the main source of error in many spatial geodetic applications. The zenith tropospheric delay (ZTD) derived from radio occultation data is of great significance to atmospheric research and meteorology and needs to be assessed in the use of precision positioning. Based on the atmPrf, sonPrf, and echPrf data from the Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate (COSMIC) Data Analysis and Archiving Center (CDAAC) from 1 January to 31 December 2008 and 2012, we obtained the ZTDs of the radio occultation data (occZTD) and the corresponding radiosonde (sonZTD) and ECWMF data (echZTD).

Article Synopsis
  • The Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine, while generally safe, can lead to lymphadenitis, with a study in Shanghai reporting 51 cases of this complication from 2010 to 2019.
  • The incidence of BCG lymphadenitis was 173 cases per 1,000,000 doses, showing a slight increase initially, but a significant decline in the years following.
  • Given the risks, particularly for immunocompromised children, it is recommended that healthcare providers improve training and monitoring to minimize these adverse effects.

Disseminated bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) disease is a rare and serious adverse event following immunization (AEFI) with BCG. Here, we reported two cases of disseminated BCG disease in the same family and reviewed the literature to identify another 35 cases in China. The average age at onset was 3.

Objective: To observe the long-term effect of plasma-derived HBV vaccine.

Methods: The effect of a plasma-derived HBV vaccine which was given to children born in 1986 in Huangpu district in Shanghai were followed up once every two years and testing for HBsAg, anti-HBs and anti-HBc was carried out. Compared to background results from cross-sectional survey of hepatitis B virus in 1984 and 1985 (as internal control) as well as finding of survey targeted in non-plasma-derived HBV vaccine of children born in the same time in the nearby area from results investigated in 1991 (as external control), positive rate was calculated to assess the effect of protection.
