Real-world data of China: Analysis of HPV vaccine coverage and post-vaccination adverse reaction monitoring in Western Chinese provinces from 2018 to 2021.

To investigate the HPV vaccine coverage and post-vaccination adverse reactions in Gansu Province, Western China, from 2018 to 2021. Data on suspected adverse reactions to HPV vaccines were collected from the Chinese Vaccine Adverse Event Following Immunization (AEFI). Estimate the incidence rates of Common Adverse Reaction and Rare Adverse Reaction.

Coverage of 13-Valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine Among Children 0-15 Months of Age - 9 Provinces, China, 2019-2021.

What Is Already Known On This Topic?: Limited data exist regarding the coverage of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) in China. A lack of official statistics, coupled with an insufficient body of published literature, hinders the accurate depiction of the current situation.

What Is Added By This Report?: This study investigated the utilization of PCV13 and estimated its coverage in nine provinces across eastern, central, and western China between 2019 and 2021.

The relationship between Alu I polymorphisms in the calcitonin receptor gene and fluorosis endemic to Chongqing, China.

Objective: This study explored the association between an Alu I polymorphism at position 1,377 of the calcitonin receptor (CTR) gene and endemic fluorosis.

Subjects And Methods: A case-control study of 321 participants was conducted in regions with high fluorosis rates (Wushan and Fengjie counties) and those without high fluorosis rates (Yubei Qu county; termed nonfluorosis areas) in Chongqing, China. The participants were divided into three groups: the fluorosis group (FG) from areas with high fluoride exposure (121), the nonfluorosis group (NFG) from areas with high fluoride exposure (130), and a control group (CG) from areas with no excessive fluoride exposure (70).

The relationship between chemical elements in soil and whole blood, and fluorosis induced by coal-fired pollution.

To study the relationship between chemical elements in soil and whole blood, and fluorosis induced by coal-fired pollution, ecological and case-control studies were carried out. We determined the concentrations of 11 chemical elements and pH values in soil in two fluorosis-affected counties in Chongqing, China, and analyzed the correlation between these values and prevalence of dental fluorosis. Ni, I, F, Hg, and pH values positively correlated with fluorosis prevalence (P < 0.

[Association between ameloblastin gene polymorphisms and the susceptibility to dental fluorosis].

Objective: To study the distribution of ameloblastin (AMBN) gene polymorphism in coal-fire caused fluorosis (CFCF) in Chongqing municipality and the relationship between AMBN gene polymorphism and the susceptibility to dental fluorosis.

Methods: Under a case-control study, 100 children aged 8 - 12 and 30 adults with dental fluorosis were enrolled in Wushan and Fengjie counties of Chongqing from December 2010 to February 2011. Another 100 children aged 8 - 12 and 30 adults with non-dental fluorosis were chosen as internal control groups together with 50 children and 30 adults without dental fluorosis were selected as external control groups in the non-epidemic area of Yubei district.

[Study on the association between environmental chemical elements and fluorosis caused by coal-fire pollution].

Objective: To understand the distribution of chemical elements in soil. To investigate the differences between patients under different state of fluorosis and normal population after preventive measurement was implemented to get rid of some chemical elements and to lower the urine fluoride levels so as to illustrate the pathogenesis of the disease.

Methods: Both ecological and comparative studies had been used to analyze the rates and levels of chemical elements.
