Existing studies have found that health poverty is mainly triggered through the external environment and individual characteristics, and health risks such as natural risks, family risks, and social risks all affect the occurrence of poverty. This paper summarizes China’s health poverty alleviation policy evolution and practical effect and experience, and thinking about the future research trends of health poverty. It is important for the academia to provide theoretical support and prospective analysis before policy formulation, and has important reference significance for the accurate formulation and smooth implementation of policies in the political circles, and at the same time, it is also of great practical significance for the formulation of health poverty alleviation policies in the new era, and for preventing the people who have been lifted out of poverty from falling back into poverty and consolidating the results of the poverty alleviation campaign.</p> Ruixin Li Zhaohua Zhang Copyright (c) 2023 Ruixin Li, Zhaohua Zhang http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 2023-10-17 2023-10-17 1 1 SARS-CoV-2: Mapping its features that made it as a unique virus https://ojs.acad-pub.com/index.php/EPHR/article/view/490 <p>SARS-CoV-2 attracts the attention of nearly the whole world during the last four years. It is a corona virus that responsible for the death of millions. It is responsible for economical corruption in many countries. As a response, excessive vaccination programs were installed everywhere. But many variants are elevated and the virus prove ability to escape from the immune system because of different mutations. The progress in different scientific domains, instrumentation, bioinformatics, and the like, makes fast vaccines developing easier. As a response, new strategies were introduced including new vaccine production and administration strategies, genomic surveillance, immunopeptidome, gene sequencing, and the like, to enable the vaccine to cover all the targeted populations in correct time and to install early alarming system against any elevated new variants. This review contains more information about some important station for the history of vaccine development and the strategies invented by scientists to control different viruses and other microbes. Some important issues that might influence the type of the used vaccines about the SARS-CoV-2 are addressed. They include their symptoms, the virus evasion of the innate immune system, the response of the adaptive immunity, and the like. Although the world still in need of better understand for the SARS-CoV-2 behavior to gain the war against it, previous historical successful vaccine productions, important examples, and station during the human struggle against the viruses are described and discussed.</p> Amro Abd Al Fattah Amara Copyright (c) 2024 Amro Abd Al Fattah Amara http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 2024-04-10 2024-04-10 1 1 490 490 10.59400/ephr.v1i1.490
