Background: Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to global health, with its spread intricately linked across human, animal, and environmental sectors. Revealing the antimicrobial resistance gene (ARG) flow among the One Health sectors is essential for better control of antimicrobial resistance.
Results: In this study, we investigated regional ARG transmission among humans, food, and the environment in Dengfeng, Henan Province, China by combining large-scale metagenomic sequencing with culturing of resistant bacterial isolates in 592 samples.
To evaluate the efficiency of a 20 μg hepatitis B vaccine(HepB) for disease prevention in two counties in Henan Province, China. A questionnaire was designed to examine the information of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive pregnant women, and their blood samples were collected to test for hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg), hepatitis B e antibody, and hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA. Three doses of 20 μg HepB and one dose of hepatitis B immune globulin(HBIG) were administered to newborns.

Here we aimed to assess the safety and immunogenicity of an inactivated COVID-19 vaccine candidate, WIBP-CorV, in participants aged 3-17 years. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 1/2 clinical trial was conducted in Henan Province, China, in healthy children aged 3-17 years.

An efficacious vaccine for children and adolescents could therefore assist pandemic control. For further evaluation of the inactivated COVID-19 vaccine candidate BBIBP-CorV, we assessed the safety and immunogenicity of BBIBP-CorV in participants aged 3-17 years.

Background: Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging infectious disease with the high case-fatality rate, and lack of vaccines. We aimed to systematically analysed the epidemiological characteristics, clinical signs, routine laboratory diagnosis, risk factors, and outcomes.
Methods: Documents on SFTS were collected by searching the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wan Fang Data, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases from 2011 to 2018.
Background: Despite many reports on the characteristics of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Wuhan, China, relatively little is known about the transmission features of COVID-19 outside Wuhan, especially at the provincial level.
Methods: We collected epidemiological, demographic, clinical, laboratory, radiological and occupation information, along with contact history, of 671 patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 reported from January 23 to February 5, 2020, in Henan province, China. We described characteristics of these cases, compared the diagnostic accuracy and features of blood testing, computed tomography (CT) scans and X-rays, and analysed SARS-CoV-2 transmission sources and patients' occupations in Henan province.
The "1-3-7" approach to malaria surveillance and response was a key measure for malaria elimination in China and was first introduced into the World Health Organization (WHO) as an international guideline for malaria surveillance and response in 2018. The "1-3-7" approach was well implemented in Henan Province from 2012-2018. Over this study period, a total of 1,294 malaria cases were detected and reported, and all cases were diagnosed and reported within 1 day with 99.

Methods: The reported cases of hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection from 2005 to 2018 in Henan province, China, were analyzed. Data of vaccinated children were assessed on the childhood immunization information management system.
Background: The occurrence of acute ischemic stroke in cancer patients is not unusual. In clinical practice, acute ischemic stroke with cancer usually cannot be diagnosed promptly due to lack of specific markers. But for cancer patients, advanced prevention, accurate diagnosis and proper treatment of acute ischemic stroke are very important.
