The study used the Delphi method to conduct two rounds of expert consultations involving 23 experts nationwide, aiming to establish the comprehensive index system for field epidemiological investigations of viral respiratory infectious diseases and determine the weights assigned to each index through the hierarchical analysis. Both rounds of consultation witnessed a 100% participation rate among all experts, with a coefficient of authority (Cr) reaching 0.89. The Kendall's W coefficients for assessing the importance and feasibility in both rounds were 0.108, 0.234, 0.439 and 0.427, respectively. Finally, an index system consisting of seven first-level indicators, 18 second-level indicators, and 36 third-level indicators was constructed for the technical guidelines governing field epidemiological investigations into viral respiratory infectious diseases, and the weight of each indicator was established. The index system constructed in this study has a high degree of scientificity, reliability and operability, but it still needs to be further adjusted and improved in combination with the epidemiological characteristics of viral respiratory infectious diseases.

Trained immunity-based vaccines (TIbV) is an emerging vaccine strategy in the field of vaccine research, referring to vaccines designed based on the principles of trained immunity (TI). TI involves the enhanced immune response of innate immune cells upon re-stimulation after being trained. TIbV, built on the concept of TI, aims to enhance resistance to various infectious pathogens by training the host's innate immune system to acquire natural immune memory. This approach is designed to bolster immunity against a wide range of infectious agents, including those not covered by conventional vaccines. This article reviews the concepts, mechanisms, application areas, and future prospects of TIbV, intending to offer a new perspective for vaccine development and design.

This study focuses on the cases(mainly characterized by respiratory symptoms such as cough, runny nose, fever, sore throat, and nasal congestion)of an outbreak of upper respiratory tract infections in a kindergarten in Jingyuan County, Baiyin City, Gansu Province, in May 2023. The epidemiological data were collected, and pharyngeal swab specimens were also obtained from the patients. The specimens of the research participants were subjected to respiratory multi-pathogen testing, and the positive specimens were further analyzed by sequencing the second hypervariable region (HRV2) of the G gene of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and constructing a phylogenetic tree. A total of 90 patients were collected, with an incidence rate of 22.84% (90/394), and the highest incidence was observed in the junior class group at 29.55%. Among the 17 pharyngeal swab specimens collected, 16 specimens were identified with the A subtype of respiratory syncytial virus. Sequencing analysis confirmed that it was the A subtype ON1 genotype. Based on the aforementioned testing results, it can be concluded that the current epidemic was primarily caused by infection with the A subtype of respiratory syncytial virus. Following the implementation of intervention measures, the epidemic has been effectively controlled.

Vegetable and fruit allergies are common types of food allergies worldwide, most of them are triggered by primary sensitization to pollen. Most allergens in vegetables and fruits belong to a few cross-reactive proteins such as PR-10 proteins, profilins, and nsLTPs. The presence of these allergens in various plants can lead to widespread cross-reactive allergic responses. Component-resolved diagnostics (CRD) can improve diagnostic accuracy by precisely identifying specific allergenic proteins, aiding physicians in making more accurate treatment and management decisions, and reducing unnecessary food avoidance. This article, based on the "Molecular Allergology User's Guide 2.0 (MAUG 2.0)" issued by the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI), analyzes the primary mechanisms, relevant allergens, and diagnostic and clinical management strategies for vegetable and fruit allergies. By detailing and analyzing these allergenic components, this article may help the healthcare professionals to deep the understandings of vegetable and fruit allergies, offer new perspectives and practical guideline for the research and treatment of these allergies, and promot the development of precise diagnostics and personalized treatment strategies.

The surveillance data of new cases of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2021, in Tengzhou City, Shandong Province, were used to analyze the incidence rate of AMI and its change trend among residents. The age and gender standardized incidence rate was calculated based on the 7th National Population Census 2020. The Cochran-Armitage trend test was used to analyze the trend of onset time and age. From 2013 to 2021, the crude and standardized incidence rate of total AMI in Tengzhou City declined from 130.07/100 000 and 161.12/100 000 to 76.15/100 000 and 72.77/100 000 (Z=-13.785 and -20.822, both P<0.001). The crude and standardized incidence rates of males were higher than those of females. In 2016, males aged 45-54 years old and females aged 35-64 years old increased by 33.33%, 103.65%, 106.30%, and 95.75% compared to 2015, and the differences were statistically significant (χ²=6.512, 4.965, 25.115, and 46.004, all P<0.05). The incidence rate of AMI in men aged<35 and 35-44 years old had an upward trend. From 2013 to 2021, the incidence rate of AMI decreased by 55.15% in urban areas and 36.59% in rural areas (Z=-8.529 and -11.235, both P<0.001).

Vaccination is an effective public health measure to prevent and control vaccine-preventable diseases for individual and society. However, China currently confronts significant challenges, including a dearth of skilled professionals in the field of vaccination and disparities in the capacity for immunization services. This review introduced the experiences of four prime international vaccinology education models, including London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, Johns Hopkins University, Leading International Vaccinology Education, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, in the aspect of personnel development, academic research and communication platforms establishment. It is supposed to give some insights and feasible suggestions on the establishment and advancement of vaccinology as a sub-discipline within high-level public health school in China, with the aim of development of a robust vaccinology education framework in China, which is essential for nurturing the next generation of public health leaders and practitioners for our country.

The "Healthy China 2030" plan outlines the goal of providing equitable, accessible, and continuous health services to achieve overall health for the population. However, with the increasing aging population in China, the burden of chronic non-communicable diseases and infectious diseases negatively impacts public health. The elderly population has high hospitalization rates due to infections from influenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus, and Streptococcus pneumoniae, which can even lead to death, posing a heavy economic burden on the healthcare system. Meanwhile, the prevalence of chronic diseases and multimobidity among adults are continuously rising, and infections could attack the high-risk groups which cause comlicaitons and severe outcomes. Vaccination is considered as most cost-effective measure for preventing infectious diseases, significantly reducing the disease burden on individuals while effectively controlling the spread of epidemics within the community. Currently, the adult vaccination service system in China is significantly lagging, making it difficult to fully utilize the health protection benefits of vaccines throughout the entire lifecycle. Therefore, to improve adult vaccination services and increase the vaccination rate among high-risk populations for severe diseases, this expert consensus analyzes the current status and challenges of adult vaccination services based on literature reviews and expert discussions. To provide suggestions for the establishment and improvement of adult vaccination service system, and reference health authorities and disease control and prevention departments to formulate relevant policies.

Objective: To assess the value of serum tumor specific protein 70 (SP70) for prognostic stratification in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Methods: A cohort study design was adopted. 129 newly diagnosed AML patients from September 2022 to January 2024 at the Hematology Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were included, as well as a control group consisted of 120 healthy individuals and 7 cases with benign hematologic diseases during the same period (total 127 cases). Clinical data were collected from Electronic Medical Records. According to the 2023 edition of the Chinese Leukemia Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines, AML patients with good or moderate prognosis were categorized as low-to-intermediate risk, while those with poor prognosis were high-risk group. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify variables significantly associated with AML prognostic risk. ROC analysis was used to evaluate diagnostic performance. A nomogram for predicting patient prognostic risk was constructed by R 4.0.2 software, and the internal validation was performed using bootstrapping. Results: Among 129 AML patients, there were 71 males (55.0%) and 58 females (45.0%), with 42 (32.6%) classified as high-risk and 87 (67.4%) as low-intermediate risk. The high-risk group had a significantly higher median age [62 (48, 67) years] compared to the low-intermediate risk group [50 (35, 63) years, Z=-2.381, P=0.017], and a significantly higher proportion of males (30 patients, 71.4%) compared to the low-intermediate risk group (41 patients, 47.1%, χ²=6.760, P=0.009). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that serum SP70 (OR=2.54, 95%CI: 1.68-3.84, P<0.001), hemoglobin (HB) (OR=0.96, 95%CI: 0.93-0.99, P<0.05), and bone marrow blast (BM blast) (OR=1.07, 95%CI: 1.02-1.13, P<0.05) were independent risk factors for high-risk prognosis in AML patients. ROC analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) for SP70 predicting high-risk patients was 0.908 (cut-off value of 5.74 ng/ml, 95%CI: 0.845-0.952, sensitivity 90.5%, specificity 82.8%). The combined model of serum SP70, HB, and BM blasts had an AUC of 0.931 (95%CI: 0.890-0.973); C-index=0.925 (95%CI: 0.876-0.963),with no statistically significant difference compared to serum SP70 alone (Z=1.693,P>0.05). Conclusion: Serum SP70 may be a promising non-invasive molecular biomarker for prognostic stratification in AML.
