Kashgar, Xinjiang is located in the westernmost part of China, with a total area of 166000 square kilometers. The region is vast, and the construction of the medical and health service system at the county, township, and village levels is relatively weak. In the new round of cooperation between districts and counties, the tight paired assistance model will continue to be promoted: in Minhang District, in addition to the connection between Shanghai Fifth People's Hospital, Minhang District Central Hospital and Zepu County People's Hospital, Minhang District Maternal and Child Health Hospital and Zepu County Maternal and Child Health Station, Minhang District CDC and Zepu County CDC, as well as 13 community health service centers and 13 township health centers in Zepu County, will also cooperate.

In 2022, Baoshan District promoted the "three reductions and one improvement" and public health capacity building project in Yecheng County. Prenatal screening for pregnant women filled the gap in Yecheng District where pregnant women were unable to undergo Down's and NIPT screening during pregnancy. In the past, pregnant women needed to go to regional hospitals for this test, and some families refused the test because they could not afford it. As of now, a total of 320000 yuan has been invested, and 960 people have completed prenatal screening, reducing the risk of birth defects in the jurisdiction. In the new round of cooperation, Baoshan District will continue to consolidate the effectiveness of the "three reductions and one improvement" project, pilot the free colorectal cancer screening project, and carry out the "Yuying" plan, targeting the disease situation of children and adolescents, such as establishing refractive records for adolescents.

Wen Daxiang, director of the Municipal Health Commission, said that the work of Shanghai medical and health assistance in Xinjiang helped the Second Kashgar Hospital to successfully establish a Grade III A hospital, and continued to move towards the goal of strengthening the Grade III A hospital. The incidence rate of infectious diseases, maternal mortality and neonatal mortality in the four counties of the city fell significantly, and the per capita life expectancy continued to rise. "Today's signing event marks a new stage of development for medical exchange and cooperation between Shanghai and Kazakhstan. Through sustained efforts and long-term persistence, we will continue to do our best to meet the higher-level health needs of local people of all ethnic groups."

Why is "Cancer King" immunotherapy ineffective? Fudan Cancer Hospital Reveals New Mechanisms of Immunosuppressive Environment for pancreatic cancer CRIP1 | Tumor | pancreatic cancer

Immunotherapy has been proven to achieve significant therapeutic effects in various solid tumors. However, for pancreatic cancer, known as the "king of cancer", immunotherapy has been ineffective. On August 4, Professor Yu Xianjun, Dean of the Cancer Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University, and Shi Si, Associate Professor of Pancreatic Surgery released a research achievement, which first found the key role of cysteine rich protein 1 in shaping the immunosuppressive microenvironment of pancreatic cancer, filled the gap in the research field of immunosuppressive microenvironment of pancreatic cancer, and provided a theoretical basis for precise immunotherapy of pancreatic cancer patients. Ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas is the main type of pancreatic cancer, accounting for about 90% of all pancreatic cancer. Due to its high malignancy and poor treatment effectiveness, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma has always been one of the most malignant tumors. In recent years, the level of surgical techniques and comprehensive treatment has been achieved

A 14-year-old girl has been experiencing symptoms such as protruding pupils, incomplete eye closure, corneal injury, restricted eye movement, and overall fatigue for several years. The physical discomfort and facial abnormalities caused by eye diseases have made her increasingly reticent, and her temperament is vastly different from before. At the Ophthalmology Department of the Ninth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, the pupil has been diagnosed with a rare thyroid ophthalmopathy combined with myasthenia gravis, which requires prompt treatment. However, considering the young age of the pupil, conventional hormone and radiation therapy cannot be used. Therefore, Zhou Huifang, Deputy Director of Ophthalmology and thyroid ophthalmology expert, has developed a targeted drug combined with surgical treatment plan for it, and targeted drug treatment will be performed first. Three months ago, I was hospitalized for one week with mydriasis and received intravenous targeted drug treatment. Afterwards, I went home for observation and followed up on time

Recently, autologous hematopoietic stem cell therapy was completed in Shanghai, and British girls born in the 1990s have suffered from multiple relapses of blood diseases, including stem cells, peripheral blood, and diseases

Recently, Catherine, a British girl born in the 1990s, received autologous peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transfusion at the Cancer Center of Shanghai Jiahui International Hospital, and was successfully discharged from the warehouse. She is now on her way back to China after being discharged from the hospital. She is also the first patient at Shanghai Jiahui International Hospital to complete relevant treatments. In 2019, Catherine was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in the UK, and after treatment, the disease completely improved. During her work and life in China in 2021, she went to seek medical attention due to multiple enlarged lymph nodes. Pathological biopsy confirmed a recurrence of Hodgkin's lymphoma, and through combined targeted drug treatment, her condition was temporarily under control. Last year in the second half of the year, when the disease recurred, the girl began to use immunotherapy combined with targeted drugs for treatment. Expert evaluation suggests that for young patients with hematological tumors, the risk of recurrence is high and treatment difficulty is increasing in the future. Autologous hematopoietic stem cell therapy is recommended
