An outbreak associated with in a junior high school, China.

is an emerging foodborne enteropathogen associated with infectious diarrhoea in humans. In February 2023, an outbreak of acute gastroenteric cases was reported in a junior high school located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, China. Twenty-two investigated patients presented diarrhoea (22/22, 100%), abdominal pain (21/22, 95.

Riding practices of e-bike riders after the implementation of electric bike management regulations: An observational study in Hangzhou, China.

Objective: This study aimed to understand the riding behaviors of electric bike (e-bike) users in Hangzhou after the "Regulations of Zhejiang Province on the Administration of Electric Bicycles".

Methods: The study consisted of two parts, including a questionnaire survey of local e-bike users in Shangcheng District and Jiande County in Hangzhou City, and a cross-sectional observational study of 16 intersections.

Results: A total of 789 e-bike riders participated in the questionnaire survey, and the riding behavior of 99,407 e-bike users was observed.

A person-to-person transmission cluster of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome characterized by mixed viral infections with familial and nosocomial clustering.

Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging tick-borne infectious disease with sporadic occurrence and high mortality. Herein, we report an example of the in-hospital transmission of SFTS virus (SFTSV) infections with familial and nosocomial clustering in Zhejiang Province, eastern China, from March to April 2023. The epidemiological investigation and genomic analysis revealed that at least eight suspected cases of SFTS occurred in this cluster, including one death and one asymptomatic case.

Discovery of new genetic loci for male sexual orientation in Han population.

Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that the genetic factors partly influence the development of same-sex sexual behavior, but most genetic studies have focused on people of primarily European ancestry, potentially missing important biological insights. Here, we performed a two-stage genome-wide association study (GWAS) with a total sample of 1478 homosexual males and 3313 heterosexual males in Han Chinese populations and identified two genetic loci (rs17320865, Xq27.3, FMR1NB, P = 8.

Application of Easy Wet Healing Therapy for Chronic Noninfectious Wounds in Limbs.

Chronic wounds in limbs without infection are common. This study was to identify an economical, simple, and useful wet healing therapy for patients with chronic noninfectious wounds in the limbs, especially for low-income patients. In total, 56 patients with chronic limb wounds without infection from April 2018 to March 2019 were included.

Therapeutic Effect of Topical Negative Pressure Therapy/Vacuum-Associated Closure Therapy on Cephalic Facial Skin Abscess.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical negative pressure therapy/vacuum-associated closure (TPN/VAC) in the treatment of cephalic facial skin abscess with infection. Forty-seven patients with cephalic facial skin abscesses were divided into two groups. The observation group was treated with negative pressure sealing drainage technique and primary wound suture.

Study of Two Separate Types of Macrolide-Resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae Outbreaks.

To study the complete natural process of a Mycoplasma pneumoniae outbreak in a semiclosed room such as a primary school room, we investigated two separate M. pneumoniae outbreaks involving 81 students in total in two primary schools in Hangzhou, China. M.
