CURRENT STATUS OF MATERNAL HEALTH CARE IN CHINA

For the protection of the health of mothers and children, Chinese government has paid much attention to maternal and child health (MCH) after the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. MCH, preventive and curative medicine are considered the three major tasks of China’s health work. Safe motherhood and decrease of maternal and infant mortality have been particularly marked since 1949. Maternal mortality has dropped from 1500/100000 in 1949 to 94.7/100000 in 1989 and infant mortality dropped from 200‰ to 51.1‰ in 1986.

Experimental primates and non-human primate(NHP) models of human diseases in China: current status and progress

Non-human primates （NHPs） are phylogenetically close to humans, with many similarities in terms of physiology, anatomy, immunology, as well as neurology, all of which make them excellent experimental models for biomedical research. Compared with developed countries in America and Europe, China has relatively rich primate resources and has continually aimed to develop NHPs resources. Currently, China is a leading producer and a major supplier of NHPs on the international market. However, there are some deficiencies in feeding and management that have hampered China＇s growth in NHP research and materials. Nonetheless, China has recently established a number of primate animal models for human diseases and achieved marked scientific progress on infectious diseases, cardiovascular diseases, endocrine diseases, reproductive diseases, neurological diseases, and ophthalmic diseases, etc. Advances in these fields via NHP models will undoubtedly further promote the development of China＇s life sciences and pharmaceutical industry, and enhance China＇s position as a leader in NHP research. This review covers the current status of NHPs in China and other areas, highlighting the latest developments in disease models using NHPs, as well as outlining basic problems and proposing effective to better utilize NHP resources and further foster NHP research in China.

History, current status, and prospects of soybean production and research in sub-Saharan Africa

Soybean(Glycine max(L.) Merr.) is a non-native and non-staple crop in sub-Saharan Africa(SSA) with potential to be a commercial crop owing to its wide range of uses as food, feed,and industrial raw material. Soybean was first introduced to SSA by Chinese traders in the19 th century and was cultivated as an economic crop as early as 1903 in South Africa. In the past four decades, soybean cultivation area and production in SSA has increased exponentially, from about 20,000 ha and 13,000 t in the early 1970 s to 1,500,000 ha and2,300,000 t in 2016. Soybean yield has been stagnant in SSA for decades at about 1.1 t ha^(-1),much lower than the world average, representing one of the most challenging issues in the soybean industry in SSA. The low soybean yield in SSA can be attributed to the use of poorperforming varieties and to the limited application of fertilizers and rhizobial inoculants in soils with no history of soybean production. South Africa, Nigeria, Zambia, and Uganda are the leading soybean producers in SSA. Soybean research in SSA is conducted by international and national research institutions, including IITA, national soybean improvement programs, universities, and the private sector. Between 1970 and 2011, 195 soybean varieties were released by IITA, private breeders, and national soybean improvement programs in SSA. This paper reviews the history and current state of soybean production and of the utilization and adoption of tropical varieties in SSA, addresses the major soybean yield-limiting factors across the region, and discusses the potential of the soybean industry in SSA. It also highlights soybean improvement efforts and lessons learned from previous soybean improvement efforts and the current progress of some national soybean improvement programs in SSA. Opportunities for scaling up tropical soybean as a major crop across SSA countries are promising.

Survey on the current status of the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer in public tertiary hospitals in China:a cross-sectional questionnaire-based,observational study

Objective:Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive digestive system malignant tumors,and its clinical diagnosis and treatment are still challenging.To further understand the current status and improve the multidisciplinary collaboration for diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer in China,we conducted an online questionnaire survey on the diagnosis and treatment status of pancreatic cancer in public tertiary hospitals of China in 2021.Methods:In this cross-sectional questionnaire-based,observational study,online questionnaires with real-name authentication were used to gather data from 500 clinicians,50 pharmacists,and 1000 pancreatic cancer patients in tertiary general hospitals or cancer hospitals nationwide.Results:A total of 485 valid questionnaires were obtained from the clinicians,majority of whom were from economically better developed regions or cities of China.There were multi-disciplinary team treatment(MDT)clinics for pancreatic cancer patients in 60%of the hospitals.Minimally invasive surgeries could be performed in all the surveyed hospitals.However,open surgery was still the mainstream choice in most cases.Gemcitabine-based chemotherapy was the most popular first-line adjuvant regimen for pancreatic cancer.A total of 50 valid questionnaires were collected from pharmacists,48%of them are not satisfactory with the efficacy of the chemotherapeutic drugs,and myelosuppression,liver,and renal damage were the most concerning side effects.In total,1011 valid questionnaires were collected from the patients.Approximately,48.4%of the patients did not know about pancreatic cancer before becoming ill.Over 80%of pancreatic cancer patients reported poor to very poor health-related quality of life,and the estimated overall medical expenses were within<400,000($58823.53)in 80%of the patients.Clinicians,pharmacists,and patients believe that popularizing scientific knowledge of pancreatic cancer,constructing MDT clinics and fast-lane system,and conducting clinical research will help further improve the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer.Conclusions:The MDT clinics for pancreatic cancer have been well developed in most of the public tertiary hospitals.Minimally invasive pancreatic surgery has developed rapidly in China;however,open surgery is still the mainstream choice for pancreatic cancer.The proportion of adjuvant treatment has been significantly improved,and the gemcitabine-based regimen is the most commonly used first-line regimen.Most of the public still lacks the general knowledge of pancreatic cancer,needing further popularization.The construction of a fast-lane treatment system and conducting of high-level clinical studies are the warm expectations of the clinicians and patients.The real-world situation of the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer in the other types of hospitals of China needs further exploration.
