简介:AbstractObjective:To study the epidemiology of leprosy in China in 2019 and give suggestions to improve future leprosy control activities.Methods:We collected leprosy data from the Leprosy Management Information System in China, which includes data from 31 Chinese provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities, except for Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan. We then performed a descriptive analysis of these data.Results:A total of 464 new leprosy cases were reported nationwide in 2019, with a case detection rate of 0.033/100,000. The proportions of children younger than 15 years, multibacillary cases, and cases with World Health Organization grade 2 disability were 1.3%, 90.3%, and 21.6%, respectively. A total of 2,219 leprosy cases were registered in China by the end of 2019, giving a prevalence rate of 0.158/100,000. Fifty-six counties had a prevalence rate of more than 1/100,000, and most of them were located in Southwest China. There were 31 reported relapse cases.Conclusion:The prevalence of leprosy has improved continuously throughout China, but the southwest region is still an area of concern.
简介:AbstractBackground:Pancreatitis is a common disease of the digestive system. Acute pancreatitis is one of the most common reasons for gastrointestinal hospital admission, and chronic pancreatitis significantly reduces quality of life. However, national epidemiological data on pancreatitis in China are lacking. This study aimed to quantify the disease burden of pancreatitis in China from 1990 to 2019.Methods:This study was based on the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 dataset. Age-standardized rates of incidence (ASIR), prevalence (ASPR), mortality (ASMR), and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) were used to describe the disease burden of pancreatitis, and estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) was used to indicate the average change in age-standardized rates. We also described the trend of pancreatitis-related mortality and DALYs, which are attributable to alcohol use by age and sex.Results:From 1990 to 2019, the ASIR, ASPR, ASMR, and age-standardized DALYs of pancreatitis in China decreased by 10.90, 1.50, 0.49, and 15.54 per 100,000, respectively, with EAPCs of -1.35 (95% uncertainty interval [UI]: -1.67, -1.02) and -0.37 (95% UI: -0.43, -0.31), -2.01 (95% UI: -2.07, -1.94) and -2.32 (95% UI: -2.37, -2.28), respectively. Recently, the numbers of incident and prevalent cases have risen, with estimates of 380,018 (95% UI: 308,669-462,767) and 493,765 (95% UI: 416,705-578,675), respectively, in 2019. Among men, the disease burden of pancreatitis was more severe than among women, and with variances in the distribution among different age groups. Age-standardized DALYs caused by alcohol-related pancreatitis have gradually worsened in the past decade, accounting for 34.09% of the total in 2019.Conclusions:The disease burden of pancreatitis in China has declined in the past 30 years, but the exacerbation of population aging poses a challenge to prevention and control of pancreatitis. Alcohol use has gradually become an important factor in the disease burden of pancreatitis in recent years.

简介:AbstractObjective:Genital chlamydial infection is a globally common sexually transmitted infection caused by Chlamydia trachomatis. This study aimed to describe the epidemiological characteristics of the disease reported in China in 2019.Methods:Genital chlamydial infection cases were identified in 105 national sexually transmitted disease surveillance sites from the National Notifiable Infectious Disease Reporting System, which covers 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities in Chinese mainland. Data were collected and used to calculate the overall incidence, and the incidences per surveillance site, province, sex, and age group.Results:In 2019, there were 50,874 new cases of genital chlamydial infection reported in China, corresponding to an incidence of 55.32 cases per 100,000 population, and comprising a 9.98% increase from 2018 (50.30 cases per 100,000 population). The highest incidences of genital chlamydial infection occurred in Zhejiang, Guangdong province, Guangxi autonomous region, and Hainan province (average 137.49-233.37 cases per 100,000 population). The incidence of genital chlamydial infection was much higher in females than males, with a female-to-male ratio of 3.09 (84.55 per 100,000 population vs 27.35 per 100,000 population). The highest incidence of genital chlamydial infection was reported in the 20-24-year age group (184.70 cases per 100,000 population), followed by the 25-29-year age group (180.79 cases per 100,000) and 30-34-year age group (151.53 cases per 100,000 population). The highest proportion (68.30%) of genital chlamydial infection was reported from general hospitals, followed by maternal and child health hospitals (25.59%).Conclusion:The incidence rate of genital chlamydial infection in 2019 has an increase trend from 2018 and be a common sexually transmitted infection in China. The incidence is much higher in females than in males. Sexually active young adults are the highest risk population. There is substantial geographic diversity in incidence, with the highest incidence occurring in the southeast coastal areas with a developed economy. Epidemic of genital chlamydial infection in China should be concerned, and its surveillance needs to be improved.
简介:AbstractSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with extreme heterogeneity and potentially involvement of any organ or system. Numerous unanswered questions and challenges in SLE always prompt further exploration. In 2019, great progress in various aspects of SLE emerged. Both the classification criteria and management recommendation for SLE were updated. New promising medications have been widely developed and tested, although subsequent clinical studies are warranted. As an emerging number of most notable studies in SLE were published in both clinical area and basic research in 2019, we aim to summarize the highest quality data on SLE regarding novel insights of pathogenesis, updated recommendations, hot-spot issues on clinical manifestations, new understanding of disease prognosis, and most importantly, the therapeutic advances in SLE in this review.
简介:AbstractBackground:Medicines for the treatment of 2019-novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) infections are urgently needed. However, drug screening using live 2019-nCoV requires high-level biosafety facilities, which imposes an obstacle for those institutions without such facilities or 2019-nCoV. This study aims to repurpose the clinically approved drugs for the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in a 2019-nCoV-related coronavirus model.Methods:A 2019-nCoV-related pangolin coronavirus GX_P2V/pangolin/2017/Guangxi was described. Whether GX_P2V uses angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) as the cell receptor was investigated by using small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated silencing of ACE2. The pangolin coronavirus model was used to identify drug candidates for treating 2019-nCoV infection. Two libraries of 2406 clinically approved drugs were screened for their ability to inhibit cytopathic effects on Vero E6 cells by GX_P2V infection. The anti-viral activities and anti-viral mechanisms of potential drugs were further investigated. Viral yields of RNAs and infectious particles were quantified by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and plaque assay, respectively.Results:The spike protein of coronavirus GX_P2V shares 92.2% amino acid identity with that of 2019-nCoV isolate Wuhanhu-1, and uses ACE2 as the receptor for infection just like 2019-nCoV. Three drugs, including cepharanthine (CEP), selamectin, and mefloquine hydrochloride, exhibited complete inhibition of cytopathic effects in cell culture at 10 μmol/L. CEP demonstrated the most potent inhibition of GX_P2V infection, with a concentration for 50% of maximal effect [EC50] of 0.98 μmol/L. The viral RNA yield in cells treated with 10 μmol/L CEP was 15,393-fold lower than in cells without CEP treatment ([6.48 ± 0.02] × 10-4vs. 1.00 ± 0.12, t= 150.38, P < 0.001) at 72 h post-infection (p.i.). Plaque assays found no production of live viruses in media containing 10 μmol/L CEP at 48 h p.i. Furthermore, we found CEP had potent anti-viral activities against both viral entry (0.46 ± 0.12, vs.1.00 ± 0.37, t = 2.42, P < 0.05) and viral replication ([6.18 ± 0.95] × 10-4vs. 1.00 ± 0.43, t= 3.98, P < 0.05).Conclusions:Our pangolin coronavirus GX_P2V is a workable model for 2019-nCoV research. CEP, selamectin, and mefloquine hydrochloride are potential drugs for treating 2019-nCoV infection. Our results strongly suggest that CEP is a wide-spectrum inhibitor of pan-betacoronavirus, and further study of CEP for treatment of 2019-nCoV infection is warranted.
