Category and working mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and their effectiveness in clinical trials / 上海预防医学

Since the pandemic outbreak of the COVID-19， there had been about 121 million confirmed cases and more than 2.6 million deaths， which had significantly affected the economies and health resources in more than 233 countries and regions. Currently， no effective therapeutic option is available for the COVID-19， andimplementation of public health interventions suffers inconvenience. Consequently， the development of COVID-19 vaccines remains crucial. This review updates the current research progression， advantages and disadvantages of inactivated vaccine， live attenuated vaccine， recombinant subunit vaccine， recombinant virus-vectored vaccine， DNA vaccine， and RNA vaccine for the COVID-19. It warrants joint research and development of vaccines on multiple platforms， which would facilitate better control and prevention of the COVID-19 epidemic.

Mortality analysis of primary liver cancer in the mainland of China from 2004 to 2018 / 上海预防医学

Objective:To determine the mortality and changing trend of primary liver cancer by using the death data of Chinese mainland from 2004 to 2018. Methods:The death certificate data was collected from China National Mortality Surveillance System from 2004 to 2018. The crude mortality rate（CMR）and age-standardized mortality rate（ASMR）of primary liver cancer in different ages， regions and living environments were calculated by Joinpoint regression model to analyze the basic situation and mortality trend. Results:From 2004 to 2018， there were 556 241 primary liver cancer deaths in China， with a CMR of 25.18/105 and an ASMR of 17.98/105. It suggested that the mortality of primary liver cancer was on a decreasing trend. During the 15 years， the ASMR of primary liver cancer was 15.56/105 in urban areas and 19.29/105 in rural areas. In urban areas， CMR was 32.89/105 in males and 12.14/105 in females， respectively； while in rural areas， CMR was 38.39/105 in males and 14.02/105 in females， respectively. The CMR in eastern， central and western urban regions was 22.25/105， 22.66/105 and 23.50/105， respectively. The CMR in the rural areas of these three regions was 27.82/105， 26.98/105 and 23.85/105， respectively. The patients were divided into four age groups： 0-19 years old， 20-39 years old， 40-59 years old， and more than 60 years old. The CMR of four groups in urban areas was 0.14/105， 2.59/105， 24.51/105 and 91.80/105. In rural areas， the CMR of four groups was 0.17/105， 4.05/105， 32.16/105 and 103.02/105. Conclusion:From 2004 to 2018， the mortality rate of liver cancer in China has a decreasing trend. However， the primary liver cancer death burden is still serious because of the large population base， severe aging population problem， and significant urban-rural and male-female disparities in China.

Sequence comparison of the hemagglutinin gene of the duck-origin H9N2 subtype avian influenza viruses / 病毒学报

To demonstrate the phylogenetic evolution, the molecular characteristics of the motif of HA protein cleavage site and the varieties at the receptor binding sites of the hemagglutinin gene of the duck-origin H9N2 subtype avian influenza viruses, sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis were performed by MEGA 4.1 Neighbor-Joining method.. The results revealed that the duck-origin H9N2 AIV viruses originated from CK/BJ/1/94-like and North-Ame-like, all the duck-origin H9N2 AIV viruses from mainland China belonged to CK/BJ/1/94-like and formed multiple genotypes through complicated re-assortment, while other duck-origin H9N2 AIV, isolated from other countries in Aisa, American and European such as Korea, Japan, Alberta, Austria, Switzerland, Iran, belonged to the North-Ame-like phylogenetic lineage. The amino acids at positions 183, 190, and 226 of the receptor binding sites of North-Ame-like group isolates had highly conserved H, E and Q respectively. In contrast with duck-origin H9N2 AIV viruses isolates from mainland China, the amino acids had N at positions 183, A, T, or V at 190, L or Q at 226, which was the same as the chicken-origin H9N2 AIV from mainland China. Most newly isolated chicken-origin H9N2 AIV in Fujian Province in Southern China had L at position 226 emphasized the higher risk of cross-infection between the chicken-origin and duck-origin H9N2 AIV in China.

Treatment of post operative complications of the procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids / 中国基层医药

Objective To evaluate and analyze the postoperative complications induced from the procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids(PPH).Methods The data of the third or fourth degree hemorrhoids operated by pro- cedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids were analyzed.Results Total 224 patients with hemorrhoids were operated on by PPH,and the mean operative time was 25 minutes and mean postoperative hospital stay were 3.5 days.Postoper- ative bleeding requiring haemostatic procedures occurred in two patients.Urine retention rate was 30.36%,there were 56 eases pain scores＞5,there of re-prolapse,16 cases of residual skin tags.One case of mucocele.Conclusion The rule of PPH is individual management.
