Analyzing the influence of the bed allocation and utilization efficiency in healthcare institutions on the isolation proportion of Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) to provide data to support prevention and control of MDROs. In this study, the provincial panel data from 2014 to 2020 in China on health resource indicators, including the number of beds per 1,000 population, hospital bed utilization rate, and average hospital stay from 2014 to 2020 in China were used to analyze the relationship between bed allocation or utilization efficiency and MDROs by the panel data quantile regression model. It was shown that the number of beds per 1,000 population had a negative effect on the isolation proportion of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium, penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae, methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus, and cefotaxime or ceftriaxone resistant Escherichia coli (regression coefficient < 0, P < 0.

Objective: To investigate the epidemiological status of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency among children from Yunnan with unique ethnic origins.
Methods: DNA samples from 11759 children were tested with fluorescent spot test, G6PD/6PGD quantitative ratio assay and hemoglobin electrophoresis.
Results: The detection rate of G6PD deficiency was 2.
Objective: To investigate the level and distribution characteristics of anemia of the minority ethnic group children in Yunnan.
Method: The cases with anemia were surveyed from 13 336 samples of 15 minority ethnic groups and Han children in Yunnan by Taking the method of random cluster sampling.
Result: The prevalence of anemia among the children under 7 years of age of 15 ethnic groups of minority in Yunnan was 13.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the carrier rate of thalassaemia in children from 10 minority ethnic groups in three border states of Yunnan Province.
- A total of 6,562 blood samples from children under 10 years old were analyzed, revealing significant differences in carrier frequencies across regions.
- The findings indicated a high overall carrier rate of thalassaemia, particularly in Dehong (46.2%), with variations in beta and alpha thalassaemia rates among different ethnic groups, highlighting the need for targeted prevention efforts.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to determine the prevalence of thalassemia in children ages 0-7 from six ethnic groups in Yunnan province's Xishuangbanna and Dehong regions.
- - Blood samples from 4,973 children revealed a high incidence of thalassemia, with β-thalassemia at 37.4% and α-thalassemia at 22.6%, with variations based on age, ethnicity, and region.
- - Findings suggest that regional factors increased thalassemia rates while the ethnicity of mothers served as a protective factor, providing essential data for prevention and genetic research in these communities.
