Objective: To understand the characteristics of malaria endemic situation in Dongtai City, from 1999 to 2013.
Methods: The data of diagnosed malaria cases and related information of prevention and treatment were collected and analyzed with the epidemiological method.
Results: From 1999 to 2013, there were 27 malaria cases in total, and among which 2 cases were local-infected with Plasmodium vivax, 10 cases were imported P. vivax infections, 13 cases were imported P. falciparum infections, and 1 case was a mixed infections (P. falciparum, P. vivax and P. ovale). The imported cases accounted for 92.59% and local-infected cases accounted for 7.41%. There were no local-infected cases after 2003, and all the cases were overseas-imported. The main first-diagnosis points were town hospitals and village health stations, accounting for 33.33% and 33.33% respectively. Totally 62.96% of cases visited the clinic in 1 day after the attacking, the median of time-interval from the attacking to visiting the clinic was 1 day, the median of time-interval from the attacking to confirmed diagnosis was 3 days, and the max time from the attacking to confirmed diagnosis was 33 days.
Conclusion: The malaria cases are mainly imported cases in Dongtai City from 1999 to 2013, and therefore, the key of eliminating malaria should be the monitoring of the retuned exporting labors.

Ferroptosis represents a newly programmed cell death, and the process is usually accompanied with iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Importantly, ferroptosis is implicated in a myriad of diseases. Recent literature suggests a potential position of ferroptosis in the pathogenesis of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), the most widespread liver ailment worldwide.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the relationship between interstitial lung abnormality (ILA) and checkpoint inhibitor-related pneumonitis (CIP) in patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) undergoing first-line chemoimmunotherapy.
- It was found that ILA is present in 32.03% of patients studied, and a significant number (12.50%) developed CIP, with ILA and past thoracic radiation therapy identified as independent risk factors for CIP.
- The presence of ILA also indicated a higher risk of mortality, indicating that SCLC patients with ILA face both increased chances of developing CIP and a poorer prognosis overall.

Objective: Multiple myeloma (MM) and Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are distinct hematologic malignancies originating from different cell lineages. Their coexistence is extremely rare, and current treatment approaches are even more so. Therefore, exploring the clinical features of their coexistence and the promising treatment strategy is worthwhile.

Native to Asia, Euwallacea interjectus (Blandford) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) is a destructive and invasive pest of live trees, and now it has been found in the United States and Argentina. In recent years, this pest appeared in high densities in poplar monocultures from Eastern China (Jiangsu and Shanghai) and Argentina and caused significant poplar mortality. However, the origin of the pests related to tree damage and the Fusarium mutualists from some poplar zones in China remained unclear.

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an important cause of acute hepatitis, however, is highly neglected and largely underreported. This study aimed to describe the detailed epidemiology of hepatitis E (HE) through a 10-year surveillance. A community-based active hepatitis surveillance was conducted between November 2007 and October 2017 in 11 townships of Dongtai City in China, involving 355,673 residents.
