Higher mortality rates associated with rheumatoid arthritis in Saskatchewan,Canada, 2001–2019

ObjectivesTo estimate provincial all-cause mortality rates of Saskatchewan people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) for comparison with the general population over time and between different geographic regions.MethodsSaskatchewan provincial administrative health databases (2001–2019) were utilized as data sources. Two RA case definitions were employed: (1) ≥ 3 physician billing diagnoses, at least 1 from a specialist (rheumatologist, general internist or orthopaedic surgeon) within 2 years; (2) ≥ 1 hospitalization diagnosis (ICD-9 code 714, and ICD-10-CA codes M05, M06). Data from these definitions were combined to create an administrative data RA cohort. All-cause mortality rates across geographic regions, between rural/urban residences and between sexes were examined.ResultsOver an 18-year span, between fiscal-year 2001–2002 and fiscal-year 2018–2019, age- and sex-adjusted mortality rates ranged from 17.10 to 21.04 (95% CI 14.77, 19.44; 18.03, 24.05)/1000 RA person-years, compared with mortality rates for the general Saskatchewan population without RA, which ranged from 9.37 to 10.88 (95% CI 9.23, 9.51; 10.72, 11.05)/1000 person-years. Fiscal-year mortality rate ratios ranged from 1.82 to 2.13 (95% CI 1.56, 2.13; 1.83, 2.46). Provincial mortality rates were higher in men than in women for both general and RA populations. Northern Saskatchewan mortality rates were significantly higher in the general population but did not achieve significance compared with other provincial regions for the RA population. Regression analysis identified age, male sex, RA and geographic region as factors contributing to increased mortality. A trend towards lower mortality rates over time was observed.ConclusionHigher mortality rates were observed in the RA population overall. Men had higher mortality rates, as did residents of Northern Saskatchewan compared with residents of other regions for the general population.     

我国女性性工作者领域社会组织参与艾滋病防治项目管理能力建设需求研究

目的 了解为女性性工作者（FSW）提供艾滋病防治服务的社会组织项目管理能力建设需求。方法 向2017-2018年参与国家艾滋病防治基金项目的社会组织负责人开展问卷调查及访谈,结合基金项目管理信息系统相关数据,利用Excel 2016软件和SPSS 25.0软件整理分析社会组织的分布与基金获得情况,以及社会组织对项目管理能力的需求。结果 2017-2018年参与执行基金FSW项目的社会组织共184个,完成问卷调查的社会组织156个,主要集中在西部地区（44.0%,81/184）,以四川省、广西壮族自治区和云南省居多;东部地区获得的基金支持最多;社会组织对项目数据收集及分析利用的需求最高,占68.6%（107/156）,其次是项目风险分析应对及质控,占64.1%（100/156）;社会组织负责人学历对项目计划管理和项目财务管理能力建设需求的差异有统计学意义（χ²=5.78,P=0.016;χ²=8.99,P=0.003）。结论 当前我国FSW领域的社会组织数量和基金获得比例的分布,与异性性传播的艾滋病疫情分布不一致。仍需继续鼓励、引导扶持社会组织的发展资金;结合社会组织对能力建设的需求针对性的制定项目能力建设计划。     

1990-2019年中国动脉粥样硬化心血管病疾病负担变化及其危险因素分析

目的 量化分析1990-2019年我国动脉粥样硬化心血管病（ASCVD）疾病负担及其主要危险因素影响的变化趋势。方法 利用2019年全球疾病负担（GBD2019）研究结果,以伤残调整寿命年（DALY）及其年龄标准化率为指标,分析1990-2019年我国ASCVD疾病负担和危险因素归因疾病负担的变化情况,并采用Gupta建立的分解法对人口增长、老龄化、年龄别患病率和疾病严重程度所致的DALY变化进行了量化分析。结果 2019年我国61.00%的心血管病疾病负担由ASCVD所致,缺血性心脏病的DALY较1990年增长了133.66%,其中29.57%可归因于人口增长、108.74%归因于人口老龄化、8.87%归因于年龄别患病率的增加、-13.53%归因于疾病严重程度;缺血性卒中的DALY较1990年增长了138.64%,归因于上述4部分的变化率依次为30.95%、123.38%、55.80%和-71.49%。2019年高血压依然是ASCVD首要危险因素,其次是高LDL-C,归因于饮酒的年龄标准化DALY率较1990年增幅最大（486.01%）,年均增长10.93%。结论 1990-2019年,人口老龄化是我国ASCVD疾病负担大幅增长最主要的原因,而其他可改变危险因素的不利趋势,特别是代谢性危险因素的持续流行同样不容忽视。     

深圳市学龄儿童接种流感疫苗对缺课预防效果的实证研究

目的 评估深圳市采用入校接种方式以及学龄儿童流感疫苗接种率高低对缺课的影响。方法 以深圳市小学学龄儿童为研究对象,利用2017年12月至2020年6月深圳市286所小学缺课数据以及学龄儿童流感疫苗接种政策实施后深圳市9个区疫苗接种率和组织方式（入校接种与非入校接种）数据,以缺课人数作为被解释变量,分别以组织方式和区接种率作为分组变量,构建双重差分模型,采用泊松回归进行分析,并对回归结果进行稳健性检验。结果 相比于非入校接种和低接种率,入校接种和高接种率可有效降低缺课的发生风险,对缺课的预防效果分别为32.6%（95%CI： 17.0%~45.3%,P<0.01）和53.0%（95%CI：42.1%~61.8%,P<0.01）。结论 深圳市实施学龄儿童流感疫苗免费接种政策并优先采用入校接种的方式,可有效降低学生缺课的发生风险。

The establishment of the Korean medical device safety information monitoring center: Reviewing ten years of experience

Medical devices may revolutionize healthcare delivery but can lead to serious adverse events for treated patients and users. While reporting of adverse events related to medical devices is an essential starting point for post-market surveillance, underreporting of medical device adverse events is a global problem. Korea introduced a voluntary medical device adverse event reporting system in 2010, called the Medical Device Safety Information Monitoring Center, which has led to an increase in adverse event reports. For 10 years, the Medical Device Safety Information Monitoring Center has analyzed medical device adverse events systematically and has provided active feedback to the manufacturers and education on safe use. Recently, the Medical Device Safety Information Monitoring Center contributed to harmonization of international medical device vigilance through the sharing of adverse events. This experience of Korea might contribute to improvements in medical device vigilance, which is a critical prerequisite for improving medical device policies and regulations.     

Two immunogenic recombinant protein vaccine candidates showed disparate protective efficacy against Zika virus infection in rhesus macaques

Zika virus (ZIKV) infection has caused major public health problems recently. To develop subunit vaccines for ZIKV, we have previously constructed recombinant ZIKV envelope protein domain III (EDIII), and the entire ectodomain (E80, which comprises EDI, EDII and EDIII), as vaccine candidates and showed both of them being immunogenic and protective in murine models. In this follow-up study, we compared these vaccine candidates in non-human primates. Both of them elicited neutralizing antibody responses, but only E80 immunization inhibited ZIKV infection in both peripheral blood and monkey tissues, whereas EDIII increased blood ZIKV RNA through possibly antibody-dependent enhancement. Further investigations revealed that the virion-binding antibody response in E80 immunized monkeys persisted longer and stronger than in EDIII immunized monkeys. These results demonstrate that E80 is superior to EDIII as a vaccine candidate, and that the magnitude, quality and durability of virion-binding neutralizing antibodies are correlates of protection.
