Article Abstract
Objective: To understand the epidemiological features of two rabies cases in Baoshan city year 2006 and 2007 and to analyze its source of infection.
Methods: Questionnaires were used to do the epidemiological survey on each of the rabies cases. Brain tissue samples of rabies patients were collect to detect the rabies virus by direct immunofluorescence assay (DFA) and RT-PCR assay. Homology and phylogenetic tree were analyzed, based on the whole nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence of P, M and N gene of rabies virus followed by molecular epidemiological analysis.
Results: In July 2006, one human rabies case was identified in Longyang district, and another one in Tengchong county in Baoshan city in 2007. The degrees of exposure of these two patients was all at degree III. Two brain tissue samples among the dead patients (No. CYN0601H and CYN0701H) were confirmed positive by both DFA and RT-PCR assay. The homology analysis of P, M and N gene sequences among CYN0601H, CYN0701H and other rabies strains isolated from other provinces and other counties, showed that the samples in Baoshan city shared the highest homology with the strains in Thailand. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the two samples were very close and all belonged to genetype 1 Lyssavirus, with the closest relationship between samples in Baoshan city and strains in Thailand.
Conclusion: It was confirmed on the virus molecular level that the two patients in Baoshan city were both suffered from rabies. The prevalent strains in Baoshan city was probably imported from foreign country, suggesting that prevention and control measures on rabies virus in the boarder areas of Yunnan should be strengthened.

Gastric cancer remains a significant health burden globally, especially prevalent in Asian and European regions. Despite a notable decline in incidence in the United States and Western Europe over recent decades, the disease's persistence underscores the urgency for advanced research in its pathogenesis and treatment strategies. Central to this pursuit is the exploration of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, a pivotal cellular mechanism implicated in the complex processes of gastric cancer development, including cellular proliferation, invasion, migration, and metastasis.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) related to scrub typhus control among residents in Longling County, Yunnan Province in 2023, to improve management strategies for the disease.
- A total of 410 valid questionnaires were collected, revealing that many residents had heard of scrub typhus yet lacked in-depth knowledge, with only a small percentage being familiar or very familiar with it.
- Factors influencing participants' understanding included age, education level, occupation, outdoor activity frequency, and type of residence, with literacy significantly impacting knowledge scores on scrub typhus prevention.
