"I myself received the nine-valent HPV vaccine very early. This time the school held a special HPV vaccination session, which was very good. The child happened to be 9 years old, 9 years and 6 months old."

This morning, Ms. Li took her daughter to the vaccination site. Minhang District, as the only city in Shanghai and one of the first national pilot districts for comprehensive cervical cancer prevention and treatment, will implement HPV vaccination for girls aged 9 to 14 years old starting today in accordance with the principle of "informed consent, voluntary self-payment". It is reported that vaccination clinics at various community health service centers across the region will open special sessions from June to July to provide vaccination services.

Cervical cancer is the "second largest killer" of women's health worldwide and in my country, ranking first among malignant tumors of the reproductive system. In recent years, the incidence and mortality of cervical cancer in my country have increased year by year, and they are getting younger. Almost all cervical cancers are related to human papillomavirus infection. Persistent infection with high-risk HPV is the only clear cause of cervical cancer.

Fortunately, cervical cancer is currently the only cancer that can be effectively prevented by vaccination with the HPV vaccine. HPV vaccines have been launched and used in most countries around the world, and have been included in government immunization plans in more than 100 countries. Authoritative organizations such as the World Health Organization have confirmed that HPV vaccines are very safe and effective.

WHO's "Global Strategy to Accelerate the Elimination of Cervical Cancer" points out that completing HPV vaccination for teenage girls before the age of 15 is one of the keys to eliminating cervical cancer. The age of 9 to 14 is the golden age for HPV vaccination, which has the best preventive effect. . Therefore, it is necessary to seize the "golden age" of HPV vaccination and get vaccinated early to benefit early.

The development of lung cancer may be related to fungi! Jiaotong University School of Medicine collaborates with multiple teams to release major results
The development of lung cancer may be related to fungi! Jiaotong University School of Medicine collaborates with multiple teams to release major results

The top international oncology journal "Cancer Cell" published online the results of the joint team of Wang Hui/Liu Ningning, School of Public Health, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine/Center for Single Cellomics and Disease Research/National Key Laboratory of Systemic Oncology Medicine. This study is the first to elucidate the molecular mechanism by which fungi promote the development of lung cancer, which has attracted widespread attention in the industry. The joint team isolated and identified a fungal strain that promotes the development of lung cancer, Aspergillus polypoly, from tumor tissue. By integrating multi-omics technologies such as deep metagenomics, culture omics, genomics, and transcriptomics, the lung cancer was analyzed. The types and distribution characteristics of the fungal microbiome in different tissue sites of adenocarcinoma patients elucidate the mechanism by which the intratumoral fungus Aspergillus polypolymerum induces a tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment through interaction with the host, ultimately promoting the development of lung cancer. It also confirms that

Since September, data from medical institutions in Shanghai has shown a significant increase in influenza cases, with some pediatric medical institutions experiencing an increase of over 50% compared to before. The main population affected by this round of influenza is primary school students, and the prevalent strain is A type H3N2, which is different from the A type H1N1 strain that spread from February to April this year. Pediatric experts said that over the past five years, Type A H3N2 has only been sporadic or slightly prevalent in the short term, with little "trouble making". In addition to the COVID-19 and other factors, it has led to the low immune level of the population to Type A H3N2, so it has become the main epidemic strain in the recent stage. In order to effectively protect themselves, getting vaccinated against influenza has become a choice for many citizens, their elderly, and children. However, recently there have been complaints from citizens that influenza vaccines, unlike most community health service centers in Puxi, have gradually arrived

Exploring "Curable Hematological Diseases": The First Immersive Lymphoma Light and Shadow Science Exhibition Opened in Shanghai

September 15th is the 20th World Lymphoma Awareness Day. This special patient group has become increasingly familiar to the public in recent years, but what are the classifications of lymphoma? Is it a curable disease? How can early diagnosis and treatment be achieved? In order to popularize knowledge about related diseases, the first immersive lymphoma themed light and shadow science popularization exhibition in China recently opened in Shanghai. The organizer stated that this exhibition takes the audience into the micro world of the human body, exploring the mysteries of life and the "past and present" of lymphoma diagnosis and treatment, aiming to convey the message that "lymphoma can be cured through standardized diagnosis and treatment", and hoping to showcase the spirit of doctors and patients working together to fight against lymphoma to society. This science popularization exhibition is jointly organized by Lymphoma Home and Roche Pharmaceuticals China. Immersive Journey Across the Lymphoma Planet, Known as the "Thousand Faced Tumors"

Thank you to Fudan Pediatric Hospital for giving the baby another life. After undergoing a heart transplant surgery, four year old Lele safely overcame various difficulties, recovered well, and was assessed to meet discharge standards. She was successfully discharged today. The mother of the child said that Lele's appetite has significantly increased and she is now sleeping peacefully. This is also the first heart transplant surgery at the Affiliated Pediatric Hospital of Fudan University. Four years ago, at the age of 8 months after birth, Lele was found to have an enlarged heart during a local hospital examination due to poor appetite and feeding difficulties. Doctors suggested going to Fudan Pediatrics for further diagnosis and treatment. After a comprehensive examination, Lele was diagnosed with "dilated cardiomyopathy". Experts explained that this is a congenital myocardial disease, and as age increases, heart function will deteriorate. Drug treatment can only alleviate some symptoms, and ultimately requires heart transplantation treatment. Although Lele's condition has improved in the past three years

Aunt Zhang likes to pick out her ears in her daily life, and is proficient in both cotton swabs and ear spoons. Two years ago, her right ear began to discharge pus, and she always thought it was otitis media. Occasionally, she used ear drops to drip on her ear. Last year, Aunt Zhang felt pain in her right ear. She took cephalosporins and traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations to relieve pain, but didn't take it seriously. It wasn't until a month ago that she had bloody secretions in her ear and symptoms of her right eye not closing properly, which caught her attention. The doctor found granulation like new organisms in Aunt Zhang's right ear canal accompanied by bleeding, telling her that it may be a malignant tumor of the ear. Will malignant tumors still grow in the ears? In life, many people, like Aunt Zhang, have never heard of malignant tumors occurring in their ears. In fact, although malignant tumors of the ear are rare, the consequences are very serious, even life-threatening, and the incidence rate is about 1/1 million people,
