RESUMO
Seasonal influenza leads to a significant disease burden, and older people infected with influenza are susceptible to various complications. Influenza immunization can prevent infection effectively and significantly reduce the risk of complications and severe cases. Creating a supportive environment for vaccination is crucial in advancing the influenza vaccination rate among the elderly population. In China, the present environment for supporting influenza vaccinations among the elderly is primarily comprised of policies for free vaccination and expense reimbursement, which exhibit noteworthy regional variations across cities and regions. This study systematically analyses the supportive environment and regional disparities associated with influenza vaccination among the elderly in China. It aims to comprehend the opportunities for influenza prevention and control resulting from the current background of influenza vaccination and to identify potential health inequality challenges caused by regional differences. The findings should inform the introduction of relevant national policies and programs to protect the health and well-being of the elderly population.

Recently we witness the rising number of genetically modified (GM) soybean (Glycine max) events approved for importing from abroad and developed domestically, so it is urgent to establish a rapid screening protocol that can cover more events with less detection targets and fit the national condition. Additionally, in order to control the detection workload, it is also necessary to construct a multi-targets plasmid (MTP) molecule that can be used as the positive material. In this study, the information of the transgenic elements in 29 GM soybean events was collected and the combinations and frequencies of these elements were analyzed, to establish a novel screening protocol. It includes eight detecting targets, CaMV 35S promoter (P-35S), NOS terminator (T-nos), herbicide tolerance gene pat, E9 terminator (T-E9), insecticidal gene cry1Ac, AHAS promoter (P-AHAS), pin Ⅱ terminator (T-pin Ⅱ), and the event-specific sequence of the transgenic event DP305423, and an endogenous reference gene of soybean Lectin. After validation, the 29 GM soybean events described above can be screened by detection of the nine targets. This is referred to as the “8+1” protocol for GM soybean screening. Then these targeted sequences described in the protocol were simultaneously inserted into a cloning vector to construct the corresponding MTP pDDSC-1910. Finally, we tested whether it could be a positive plasmid. As expected, PCR analysis using pDDSC-1910 as a template showed that specific amplicons were observed with high sensitivity. Therefore, the “8+1” screening protocol for GM soybean was established, and the positive plasmid molecule pDDSC-1910 containing corresponding targets was successfully constructed. These results would facilitate the efficient screening and detection of transgenic soybeans.
