Enlightening from optimizing post-authorization safety monitoring system of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in major economies worldwide / 中华预防医学杂志

Ongoing global pandemic of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has promoted the unprecedented rapid development and large-scale rolling out of different platform-based COVID-19 vaccines worldwide. How to effectively respond to the expected scale increasing adverse events after vaccination campaign of COVID-19 vaccines is a common problem faced by the world. A lot of countries and regions around the world have arranged in advance at different levels, optimizing the original vaccine safety monitoring system from the perspectives of strengthening the foundation and capabilities, promoting internal and external cooperation, upgrading methods, as well as improving transparency and public communication, which has ensured the good and efficient operation of the system and can provide reference for the construction of relevant fields in China.

Effectiveness evaluation of intensive lifestyle intervention on rural residents with metabolic syndrome / 预防医学

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of intensive lifestyle intervention on rural residents with metabolic syndrome (MS) . Methods A total of 253 patients with MS selected from cross-sectional survey were divided into intensive lifestyle intervention and conventional management group incomplete randomly. Aimed to control weight, patients in the intervention group were treated with dietary control and exercise guidance. Besides, their compliances were assessed. In conventional management group, patients were disposed according to chronic disease management specification. Anthropometric measurements and biochemical markers detection were carried out in both groups at baseline and at the end of 6 months. Results These main anthropometric measurements and biochemical markers have no significant difference between the intervention group and conventional management group at the baseline (P>0.05) . After 6 months intensive lifestyle modification, the prevalence of MS did not significantly differ between the two groups: it was 67.14% in the intervention group and 60.95% in the conventional management group (P>0.05) .In the intervention group, the body weight, BMI and the waist circumference were decreased by 3.11 kg, 1.50 kg/m2, 4.29 cm, respectively, and 1.23 kg, 0.47 kg/m2, 1.22 cm in the conventional management group. The changes were significantly larger in the intervention group than in the conventional management group (P<0.01) .Uric acid, triglyceride were decreased by 14.30 μmol/L, 0.01 mmol/L, respectively, in the intervention group and in the conventional management group they were increased by 18.17 μmol/L and 0.41 mmol/L conversely. While the high density lipoprotein cholesterol was increased by 0.02 mmol/L, it was decreased by 0.10 mmol/L in the conventional management group (P<0.01) . Body weight and BMI decreased by 3.93kg and 1.40 kg/m2 in the high compliance group, compared to low compliance group, there was statistically difference with regard to this change between the two groups (P<0.05) . While the body fat% was decreased by 2.27%, and it was increased by 1.01% in the conventional management group (P<0.05) . Conclusion For rural residents, the beneficial effects of intensive lifestyle intervention are improving metabolic risk factors. The compliance is the main factor of the effects of intervention.

Research progress on molecular genetics of forest musk deer / 中国中药杂志

Forest musk deer is one of the large-scale farming musk deer animals with the largest population at the same time. The male musk deer can secrete valuable medicines, which has high medicinal and economic value. Due to the loss of habitat and indiscriminate hunting, the numbers of wild population specie and the distribution have been drastically reduced. Therefore, in-depth understanding of the molecular genetics progress of forest musk deer will pave a way for musk deer protection and breeding. In this review, the progress associated with the molecular marker, genetic classification, artificial breeding, musk secretion and disease in past decades were reviewed, in order to provide a theoretical basis for subsequent molecular genetic researches in forest musk deer.

Research progress on musk secretion mechanism of forest musk deer / 中国中药杂志

Forest musk deer (Moschus berezovskii), a rare wild medicinal animal, is listed under the category of the state key protected wildlife list of China. Musk, secreted by the musk glands, is with high economic and medicinal value and used as precious traditional medicine in China. In order to meet the needs of musk in Chinese traditional medicine, forest musk deer farming was conducted in 1950s, but the research progress on musk secretion mechanism was slow. Therefore, by reviewing the histological and anatomical structure of forest musk deer musk gland, the relationship between sex hormones and the musk secretion process, and the molecular mechanism of the musk secretion, the existing problems in investigating the musk secretion mechanism were analyzed and the development trends in this field were also discussed, in order to provide a reference for further studies on the musk secretion mechanism and improve musk production of forest musk deer.
