Objective: To study the biological types on the seven isolates of Trichomonas vaginalis from Beijing, Hebei-Tangshan, Hebei-Chengde and Jiangxi-Jiujiang in the mainland of China.

Methods: The samples were analyzed by PAGE, isoenzyme stain and cluster analysis.

Results: The isoenzyme systems used in the study included MDH, LDH, G-6-PD, PGI and PGM. No difference in the isoenzyme patterns of G-6-PD and PGI was found among the seven isolates. The MDH and LDH patterns of Beijing 1, Beijing 2, Jiujiang 3 strains were identical, while they were distinguishable from those of Chengde, Tangshan, Jiujiang 1, Jiujiang 2 isolates. The PGM pattern of Beijing 1 and Beijing 2 isolates were same but was different from that of the remainders. Gene tree was constructed according to the isoenzyme profiles. The results showed that there are differences in the patterns of the five isoenzymes between the isolates of Beijing 1, Beijing 2, Jiujiang 3 and other four isolates, and Jiujiang 3 was different from Beijing 1, Beijing 2 slightly.

Conclusion: It seems reasonable to assume that there are at least three different biological types of Trichomonas vaginalis in China.

Effects of population aging on quality of life and disease burden: a population-based study.

Glob Health Res Policy

January 2025

Center for Public Health and Epidemic Preparedness and Response, Peking University, Haidian District, 38Th Xueyuan Road, Beijing, 100191, China.

Background: As population aging intensifies, it becomes increasingly important to elucidate the casual relationship between aging and changes in population health. Therefore, our study proposed to develop a systematic attribution framework to comprehensively evaluate the health impacts of population aging.

Methods: We used health-adjusted life expectancy (HALE) to measure quality of life and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) to quantify the burden of disease for the population of Guangzhou.

Utilizing innovative methods to advance the research and development (R&D) of health products and enhance their accessibility has become crucial to achieving universal health coverage, addressing public health emergencies, and promoting population health and wellbeing. However, structural contradictions do exist in the supply and demand of health products in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). With the joint support of the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, the Ministry of Education, and the China-ASEAN Center, Peking University established the China-ASEAN Science and Technology Cooperation Center for Public Health in April 2023.

High clinical utility of long-read sequencing for precise diagnosis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia in 322 probands.

Hum Genomics

January 2025

Department of Endocrine and Metabolic Diseases, Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, National Clinical Research Center for Child Health and Disorders, Ministry of Education Key Laboratory of Child Development and Disorders, Chongqing, China.

Background: The molecular genetic diagnosis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is very challenging due to the high homology between the CYP21A2 gene and its pseudogene CYP21A1P.

Methodology: This study aims to assess the clinical efficacy of targeted long-read sequencing (T-LRS) by comparing it with a control method based on the combined assay (NGS, Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification and Sanger sequencing) and to introduce T-LRS as a first-tier diagnostic test for suspected CAH patients to improve the precise diagnosis of CAH.

Results: A large cohort of 562 participants including 322 probands and 240 family members was enrolled for the perspective (96 probands) and prospective study (226 probands).

Background: Wound repair methods are commonly used in clinical practice, such as skin graft and flap repair, which can cause secondary injuries, and high costs. Many methods for skin stretching and repair have been reported domestically and internationally. However, their clinical use is limited owing to lack of equipment, complexity, and high costs.

Background: Advanced gastric cancer (GC) exhibits a high recurrence rate and a dismal prognosis. Myocyte enhancer factor 2c (MEF2C) was found to contribute to the development of various types of cancer. Therefore, our aim is to develop a prognostic model that predicts the prognosis of GC patients and initially explore the role of MEF2C in immunotherapy for GC.
