Objective: To understand the characteristics of malaria prevalence in Wenzhou City in 2013, so as to provide the evidence for improving the elimination program of malaria.
Methods: The epidemiological data of malaria in Wenzhou City in 2013 were collected from the Chinese information system for disease control and prevention, and analyzed with the descriptive epidemiological methods for epidemiological characteristics of malaria.
Results: Totally 34 imported malaria cases were reported in Wenzhou City in 2013 with the incidence of 0.37 per 100,000 people. Plasmodiumfalciparum, P. ovale and P. vivax were identified in 31, 1 and 2 cases, respectively. No death cases were reported, and 64.71% (22/34) of the cases were reported in Cangnan County, Lucheng District and Rui' an City. The malaria cases were mostly concentrated in persons aged 20-49 years with male to female sex ratio at 4.67: 1, and the predominant portion of cases were workers and commercial service personnel. Totally 97.06% of the cases were imported from Africa.
Conclusions: The malaria endemic situation is relatively stable and no local malaria cases are reported in Wenzhou City in 2013. In order to achieve the goal of malaria elimination, the management and education of the transient population should be strengthened.

Objective: Rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) of respiratory cytology specimens is a critical technique for accurate and timely diagnosis of lung cancer. However, in China, limited familiarity with the Diff-Quik staining method and a shortage of trained cytopathologists hamper utilization of ROSE. Therefore, developing an improved deep learning model to assist clinicians in promptly and accurately evaluating Diff-Quik stained cytology samples during ROSE has important clinical value.

Background: The global burden of metabolic diseases is increasing, but estimates of their impact on primary liver cancer are uncertain. We aimed to assess the global burden of primary liver cancer attributable to metabolic risk factors, including high body mass index (BMI) and high fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels, between 1990 and 2021.
Methods: The total number and age-standardized rates of deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) from primary liver cancer attributable to each metabolic risk factor were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease Study 1990-2021.
Prevalence and Risk Factors of Covert Brain Infarction: a Community-based Cross-sectional Study.

Department of Neurology, Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Background: Covert brain infarction (CBI) is common and poses a potential and non-negligible burden of disease worldwide. The prevalence and risk factors for CBI have been reported inconsistently in previous studies.
Aims: This study aims to ascertain the prevalence and risk factors of CBI and its imaging phenotypes in community-dwelling adults.
Targeting /xCT improves radiofrequency ablation efficacy of HCC by dendritic cells mediated anti-tumor immune response.

Article Synopsis
- After RFA treatment for liver cancer, there's a notable increase in the expression of /xCT and the number of dendritic cells (DCs) in the tumor microenvironment (TME).
- /xCT is associated with poor prognosis in liver cancer and is primarily found in DCs within the TME.
- Combining xCT targeting in DCs with RFA treatment boosts anti-tumor immune responses, reduces tumor growth, and suggests a potential strategy for better treatment outcomes in liver cancer.

Intraluminal prosthetic graft thrombus (IPT) has been described in case of endovascular aortic pathology repair. This study aimed to assess hemodynamic indicators associated with various anatomical morphologies following endovascular aortic repair (EVAR), aiming to offer further references for the choice of clinical therapy. Six model models (normal, iliac compression, aortic compression, aortoiliac compression, iliac distortion, and long-leg stent) were established based on common anatomical morphologies following EVAR.
