Background: An influenza H3N2 epidemic occurred throughout Southern China in 2012.
Methods: We analyzed the hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) genes of influenza H3N2 strains isolated between 2011-2012 from Guangdong. Mutation sites, evolutionary selection, antigenic sites, and N-glycosylation within these strains were analyzed.
Results: The 2011-2012 Guangdong strains contained the HA-A214S, HA-V239I, HA-N328S, NA-L81P, and NA-D93G mutations, similar to those seen in the A/ Perth/16/2009 influenza strain. The HA-NSS061-063 and NNS160-162 glycosylation sites were prevalent among the 2011-2012 Guangdong strains but the NA-NRS402-404 site was deleted. Antigenically, there was a four-fold difference between A/Perth/16/2009 -like strains and the 2011-2012 Guangdong strains.
Conclusion: Antigenic drift of the H3N2 subtype contributed to the occurrence of the Southern China influenza epidemic of 2012.

Developing a new diagnostic prediction model for osteoarthritis (OA) to assess the likelihood of individuals developing OA is crucial for the timely identification of potential populations of OA. This allows for further diagnosis and intervention, which is significant for improving patient prognosis. Based on the NHANES for the periods of 2011-2012, 2013-2014, and 2015-2016, the study involved 11,366 participants, of whom 1,434 reported a diagnosis of OA.

Background: The cardiometabolic index (CMI) is a novel metabolic biomarker, but research on its association with osteporosis (OP) is limited. The objective of this research was to clarify the relationship between CMI and OP in the older adult population of the United States.
Methods: This study conducted a cross-sectional analysis using NHANES data 2007-2018 with exclusion of 2011-2012 and 2015-2016 cycles.

Background: Exposure to different concentration levels of fatty acids (FAs) may have an impact on depression. However, previous studies using individual FAs may not reflect the performance of mixtures of various FAs, and the associations of FA patterns with depression remain unclear.
Methods: We conducted the cross-sectional analysis in 792 adults aged 18 and older with available serum FAs and depression screening data in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2012.
