[Current and predicted disease burden in middle aged and elderly population aged 55 years and above in Shenzhen, 2016-2030].

To analyze the disease burden in middle-aged and elderly population aged ≥55 in Shenzhen from 2016 to 2030 and provide evidence for the development of healthy aging strategies. The years of life lost (YLL), years lost due to disability (YLD), and the disability-adjusted life year (DALY) in this population from 2016 to 2022 were calculated. Joinpoint log-linear regression model was used to analyze the time trend.

Phthalate exposure and subfecundity in preconception couples: A nested case-control study.

Background: Phthalates (PAEs) are endocrine-disrupting chemicals ubiquitously found in the environment. This study aimed to examine the association between exposure of PAEs and subfecundity in preconception couples.

Methods: This is a nested case-control study based on preconception cohort.

Association between medical male circumcision and HIV risk compensation among heterosexual men: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Medical male circumcision (MMC) reduces HIV infection among heterosexual men. There are concerns MMC might prompt higher-risk sexual behaviours because of lower self-perceived risk of HIV infection. We reviewed the published literature to examine associations between MMC and both condom use and number of sex partners among heterosexual men.

Persistent Asymptomatic Human Infections by Salmonella enterica Serovar Newport in China.

serovar Newport ( Newport) infections are gradually on the rise in China from the last decade. For humans' infections, Newport has been ranked among the top five serovars responsible for persistent infections, globally. A total of 290 Newport strains with their relevant clinical metadata were analyzed, and the strains were subjected to whole-genome sequence analysis.

[Surveillance and control strategy of imported schistosomiasis mansoni: an expert consensus].

In 1980s, , an intermediate host of , was found in Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province, China, and currently, this snail has colonized in Shenzhen City and spread to peripheral cities involving of Dongguan and Huizhou. Since imported cases infected with have been reported from time to time in China, Mainland China is facing the potential risk of transmission of schistosomiasis mansoni. With the deepening of the opening-up policy, notably the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative, there is an increase in the risk of transmission of schistosomiasis mansoni in Mainland China.

Nonlinear effect of wind velocity on mumps in Shenzhen, China, 2013-2016.

Objectives: Plenty of studies have shown that wind velocity has an influence on airborne diseases. There is, however, no consistent conclusion found on the relationship between wind velocity and mumps, and the regional heterogeneity has been largely neglected in previous studies. This study aims to explore the association between wind velocity and mumps in Shenzhen.

[The study of exposure levels of dioxin-like compounds in cord blood of newborns in an e-waste dismantling area in Guangdong Province].

To study the pollution status of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) in cord blood of newborns in an e-waste dismantling area of Guangdong Province. We recruited 20 eligible mothers and newborns who could meet the inclusion criteria in local hospitals of Guiyu in 2007. The inclusion criteria included directly engaged in dismantling e-waste during pregnancy and within 1 year before pregnancy; living in the e-waste dismantling workshops or the distance between living place and the e-waste dismantling areas was ≤200 m; the father of newborn was directly engaged in electronic waste dismantling for more than 1 year; the frequency of visiting the e-waste dismantling workshop during pregnancy was ≥3 times in a week.

[Prevalence and trends of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents from 2013 to 2017 in Shenzhen].

To examine the status and trends of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents aged 6-17 in Shenzhen between 2013 and 2017. Six primary schools, three junior high schools and three high schools were selected in Shenzhen from 2013 to 2017, through stratified cluster sampling method. Height and weight of the selected students were measured.

Phylodynamics of major CRF01_AE epidemic clusters circulating in mainland of China.

As the most dominant HIV-1 strain in China, CRF01_AE needs to have its evolutionary and demographic history documented. In this study, we provide phylogenetic analysis of all CRF01_AE pol sequences identified in mainland China. CRF01_AE sequences were collected from the Los Alamos HIV Sequence Database and the local Chinese provincial centers of disease control and prevention.

[Molecular epidemiology on vpr gene of HIV-1 strains].

Objective: To understand the rule of vpr gene variance of HIV-1 strains.

Methods: RT-PCR was used to amplify vpr gene of HIV-1 strains in Shenzhen. PCR products were sequenced and used for gene phylogenetic analysis and the 32 - 46 amino acids of Vpr protein were compared.
