Article Abstract
Background: Rotavirus A group (RVA) is a leading cause of viral diarrhea, posing a substantial economic and public health burden. Compared to other enteric viruses, RVA possesses diverse genetic mechanisms, making it more challenging to control and prevent. Moreover, surveillance and evolutionary studies on RVA remain limited in Southern China.
Methods: We collected diarrheal stool samples from sentinel hospitals in Shenzhen and Zhuhai between 2020 and 2023. RVA-positive samples were identified via RT-PCR, followed by RNA extraction, sequencing, and genome assembly, yielding 57 RVA strains, comprising 604 sequences. Genotype trends were analyzed statistically. For phylogenetic analysis, global sequences were curated by CD-HIT, aligned with contributed sequences by MAFFT, and analyzed using IQ-TREE. Recombination and reassortment events were detected via RDP4.
Results: We analyzed the temporal distribution and genetic diversity of 57 newly sequenced strains from Shenzhen and Zhuhai in the context of global sequences. Our findings reveal that the prevalent genotypes of RVA in China have undergone changes over time with the decreasing of G9P[8] and the rising of G8P[8]. Phylogenetic analysis focusing on the VP7 and VP4 genes revealed distinct evolutionary patterns among different genotypes across temporal and geographical dimensions. Additionally, we discovered one reassortment event in the VP7 gene and two recombination events in the NSP1 and NSP5/6 gene.
Conclusions: we observed significant variability and complexity in the evolutionary characteristics of RVA in Shenzhen and Zhuhai. These insights enhance our understanding of global evolution and transmission of RVA and provide guidance for future research and vaccine development.

Climate change has heightened awareness of the health impacts of non-optimal temperatures (cold and heat), including the effect of gestational exposure and birth outcomes. However, temperature exposure assessment remains methodologically challenging due to unaccounted individual spatiotemporal mobility and adaptive behaviors, a gap that has not been adequately addressed in published studies. Using data from a prospective birth cohort in Guangzhou, China, conducted from 2017 to 2020, we assessed and compared three different exposure measures: home-based exposure, derived solely from ambient temperature data at residential locations; mobility-based exposure, incorporating individuals' spatiotemporal activities to capture dynamic environmental conditions; and AC & mobility-based exposure, an extension of the mobility-based approach that further integrates data on air-conditioning usage.

Megacities' inherent complexity and dense populations heighten vulnerability to health crises, necessitating pandemic resilience research. This study pioneers a tailored resilience assessment framework for pandemic-facing megacities, building upon a refined Tyler and Moench urban resilience model. Applying grey correlation-technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) methodology and barrier diagnosis modeling, we evaluated eight Chinese megacities.

Organic semiconductors are very attractive photocatalysts for the production of solar fuels. However, their development is greatly plagued by limited visible light absorption and severe restriction of photoexcited charge carrier separation and transfer caused by the exciton effect resulting from inherent dielectric constraints. Herein, a three-motif molecular junction hydrogen evolution photocatalyst is constructed by linking a donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) molecule integrating the photosensitizer unit and the redox unit with holey carbon nitride sheets (HCNS) as a second electron acceptor unit (A) based on the covalent strategy.

Dental infections continue to present significant challenges in clinical dentistry, often resulting in severe oral and systemic complications. Conventional treatments, including antibiotics and mechanical debridement, face increasing limitations due to microbial resistance and persistent biofilms. This review delves into the evolving field of biomaterials designed for dental infections, especially biological macromolecule-based biomaterials, including cellulose and chitosan, emphasizing their role in infection prevention, treatment, and tissue regeneration.

Ischemic stroke represent major global health challenges due to their high incidence and debilitating consequences. Similarly, lung ischemia-reperfusion injury has gained increasing attention in the medical research community. The emerging concept of the lung-brain axis has shed new light on the complex interplay between these two organ systems during pathological injury, demonstrating that their interaction can significantly exacerbate ischemia- reperfusion damage.
