OBJECTIVE To standardize the strategies for prevention and control of Chikungunya(CHIK)in healthcare in-stitutions so as to reduce the risk of transmission in the institutions.METHODS A working group comprising the ex-perts in hospital infection control,infectious diseases,and microbiology systematically reviewed domestic and international evidence and current guidelines,integrated China's vector ecology and healthcare realities,conducted two rounds of Delphi to achieve expert consensus,and graded the evidence and recommendation strength using the Oxford Centre for Evidence Based Medicine system.RESULTS The consensus issues 18 actionable recommendations on triage,patient mosquito-proof isolation,integrated vector control,protection of susceptible populations,environmental cleaning and disinfection,specimen management,medical textile handling,and outbreak emergency response,with each statement assigned an evi-dence level and recommendation strength.CONCLUSION This consensus is for the first time in China to provide evidence-graded strategies for control of CHIK in healthcare institutions,offering work flow-oriented,implementable guidance for clinicians,laboratorians,and infection-control personnel under different risk scenarios and enhancing the comprehensive coping capacity of the healthcare institutions.

Sacroiliac complex injuries are commonly seen in high-energy pelvic fractures. The injuries make a big difference in treatment patterns due to the diverse injury types, posing considerable challenges in formulating optimal treatment strategies, and hence are persistent clinical difficulties in orthopedic trauma. The clinical management of sacroiliac complex injuries presents several key challenges such as a non-negligible rate of missed diagnoses in associated vascular and visceral injuries, absence of standardized protocols for surgical approaches and reduction-fixation strategies across different injury patterns, and ongoing controversies regarding surgical indications and optimal timing for patients combined with concomitant lumbosacral plexus injuries. Currently, no systematic clinical guidelines are available for the diagnosis and treatment of sacroiliac complex injuries both domestically and internationally. To this end, the Pelvic and Acetabular Surgery Group, Orthopedic Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care and Orthopedic Physician Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized a panel of domestic experts in the field to develop the Clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of sacroiliac complex injuries ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medicine and adhering to the principles of scientific rigor, clinical applicability, and innovation. These guidelines provided 11 recommendations covering diagnosis, therapeutic principles and techniques, management protocols for lumbosacral plexus injuries, outcome evaluation, and postoperative rehabilitation pathways, etc., aiming to standardize the clinical management of sacroiliac complex injuries.

Objective:To observe any effect of electroacupuncture on the urodynamics of rats modeling chronic urinary retention after a sacral cord injury (SCI), and to explore its regulatory effect on interstitial Cajal cells (ICCs) in the bladder and the mechanism.Methods:Seventy-five female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a sham operation group, a model group, an electroacupuncture group, an inhibitor group, and an inhibitor plus electroacupuncture group, each of 15. On day 1 of the experiment the sacral spinal cord was completely transected at the level of the 3rd lumbar vertebra in all groups except the sham operation group. In that group the spinous processes and laminae of L 2-4 were exposed but not injured, and then sutured. On day 16, both the inhibitor group and the inhibitor plus electroacupuncture group were given intraperitoneal injections of imatinib mesylate, while the electroacupuncture group and the inhibitor plus electroacupuncture group began 14 consecutive days of electroacupuncture. After the intervention, urodynamic testing was performed on the rats in all five groups, and they were then sacrificed. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe any morphological changes in the bladder. Transmission electron microscopy was employed to assess the ultrastructure and quantity of ICCs in the bladder. And the gene and protein expression of c-Kit and stem cell factor (SCF) in bladder tissue were detected using polymerase chain reactions and western blotting. Western blotting was also applied to detect the relative expression of c-Kit phosphorylated proteins. Results:Compared with the sham group, the model and inhibitor groups showed significant differences in their urination rates, residual urine volumes, bladder volumes and compliance on the 30th day of the experiment. Compared with the model group, the rats who received electroacupuncture displayed more complete voiding, lower residual urine volume, greater bladder volume and better compliance. Compared with the electroacupuncture group, the urodynamic evaluation of the inhibitor plus electroacupuncture group indicated a significant decrease in urination rate, but a significant increase in residual urine volume, bladder volume and compliance. The SCI modeling had destroyed the morphology of the bladder detrusor muscle and the ultrastructure of the ICCs. And the number of Cajal interstitial cells and the relative expression of c-Kit, SCF, and p-c-Kit had decreased significantly. Compared with the model group, a significant improvement was observed in all urodynamic indicators, the morphology of the detrusor muscle, the ultrastructure and number of ICCs, and the relative expression of c-Kit, SCF, and p-c-Kit in the electroacupuncture groups. There were poorer urodynamic indicators, detrusor muscle morphology, ultrastructure and number of ICCs in the inhibitor plus electroacupuncture group compared with the group which received electroacupuncture alone, but there was a significant decrease in the relative expression of p-c-Kit.Conclusions:Electroacupuncture can improve the urodynamics of chronic urinary retention after sacral cord injury, at least in rats. The mechanism may be related to the benign regulation of ICCs through the bladder′s c-kit/SCF signal system.

Acute urinary retention(AUR)occurs frequently among astronauts on orbit.The current treatment is complex and easy to damage the urethra,which seriously affects the life and work of astronauts.In contrast,acupuncture,a traditional Chinese remedy,has shown promising results in managing urinary retention.However,the specific acupoints that could potentially prevent AUR remain uncertain due to the unique physiological conditions experienced by individuals in space compared to those on Earth.To address this gap,our research delved into the mechanisms of AUR and acupuncture within both traditional Chinese medicine and modern medical practices.We conducted a thorough literature review from Pubmed,Web of Science,CNKI,Wanfang database,VIP database and Chinese Medical Code database.A hierarchical evidence-scoring approach was utilized to analyze the included literatures,thus devised acupuncture protocols for the treatment of AUR.The outcomes of our study aim to establish a foundation for the application of acupuncture in managing AUR.

Objective To investigate whether transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation(TEAS)can improve the muscle strength,endurance and work efficiency of calf muscles in healthy young men,aiming to explore a new method for preventing and combating microgravity-induced muscle atrophy in space environments.Methods 40 healthy young men aged 18-35 years were randomly divided into a Control group(Pseudo Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation)and a Experimental group(Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation)in a 1∶1 ratio,with 20 participants in each group.In the Control group,the indicator light of the stimulator was covered,and the device was turned on,but the electrodes did not contact the skin,The device automatically turned offafter 3 seconds.In the Experimental group,the TEAS device was connected to the current and TEAS intervention was performed.The electrical stimulation waveform was a sperse-dense wave with a frequency of 4/20 Hz,and the intensity was determined by patient tolerance.The acupoints selected for electrical stimulation in both groups were bilateral Zusanli(ST36)、Liangqiu(ST34),Taixi(KI3),and Fuliu(KI7).Zusanli and Liangqiu were paired,and Taixi and Fuliu were paired.The intervention frequency was 30 min/time,1 time/day,6 days/week,for 2 weeks.The relative peak torque at 60°/s,relative peak torque at 180°/s,and average power at 180°/s of the bilateral calf muscles were measured using an isokinetic dynamometer at 0th,7th,and 14d day of the experiment.Results After 1 week of TEAS,compared with Control group,there were no significant changes in the relative peak torque at 60°/s,relative peak torque at 180°/s and average power at 180°/s of the bilateral anterior calf muscles in the Experimental group(all P>0.05);however,compared with Control group,the relative peak torque at 60°/s and the relative peak torque at 180°/s of the bilateral posterior calf muscles in the Experimental group were significantly increased(all P<0.05).After 2 weeks TEAS;compared with the Control group,there were no significant changes in the relative peak torque at 60°/s,relative peak torque at 180°/s and average power at 180°/s of the bilateral anterior calf muscles in the Experimental group(all P>0.05);however,the relative peak torque at 60°/s,relative peak torque at 180°/s,and average power at 180°/s of the bilateral posterior calf muscles were significantly increased in the Experimental group(all P<0.05).Conclusion TEAS of Zusanli,Liangqiu,Fuliu and Taixi acupoints on the lower limbs for 2 weeks can effectively improve the maximum muscle strength,endurance and work efficiency of the posterior calf muscles in healthy young men.

Objective·To prepare self-assembled drug-loaded nanoprobes with activatable chemical exchange saturation transfer(CEST)imaging capability,and evaluate their imaging performance and therapeutic potential for photodynamic-sensitized pyroptosis in breast cancer in vivo and in vitro.Methods·GC nanoprobes co-loaded with gemcitabine(Gem)and chlorin e6(Ce6)were constructed by using a self-assembly strategy.The physicochemical properties of the GC nanoprobes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and dynamic light scattering(DLS).The pH-/time-dependent CEST activation and drug release profiles were investigated.The 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate(DCFH-DA)probe was used to detect the generation of reactive oxygen species(ROS),and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect the release of inflammatory factors such as interleukin-1β(IL-1β)and IL-18 in mouse breast cancer 4T1 cells after treatment with GC nanoprobes with synergistic laser irradiation.Immunofluorescence was performed to detect immunogenic cell death(ICD)markers,including calreticulin(CRT)and high mobility group box 1 protein(HMGB1).The 4T1 breast cancer mouse models were established to validate tumor-specific CEST activation and evaluate anti-tumor efficacy by measuring tumor volume and detecting inflammatory factors and ICD markers.Results·SEM and DLS confirmed the uniform spherical morphology of the GC nanoprobes.The CEST imaging results showed that the nanoprobes had excellent pH-concentration and time-dependent activation imaging effects both in the simulated acidic microenvironment and at the cellular level in vitro.The drug release from this drug-loaded nanoprobe was 80％at pH 5.0,which was significantly higher than at pH 7.4(P=0.003).DCFH-DA fluorescence staining demonstrated that GC-mediated photodynamic therapy induced a significant generation of ROS.Analysis of pyroptosis-related factors revealed a marked increase in the release levels of IL-1β and IL-18(both P＜0.05),along with elevated fluorescence expression of CRT and HMGB1.The in vivo CEST imaging results showed that the CEST signal at the tumor site was significantly enhanced,peaking at 4 h with tail vein injection of GC.The GC nanoprobes with synergistic laser irradiation group showed markedly elevated inflammatory factors(IL-1β,IL-18),changed ICD biomarkers(HMGB1 and CRT),and significant tumor suppression,compared to the PBS control group(all P＜0.05).Conclusion·The GC nanoprobes enables specific CEST imaging-guided photodynamic therapy,effectively inducing pyroptosis and precise ablation of breast cancer.

Objective To explore the relationship between dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging(DCE-MRI)and clinical pathological features of invasive breast cancer and lymphovascular invasion(LVI).Methods Imaging and clinical pathological data were retrospectively collected from 508 patients with invasive breast cancer who underwent breast DCE-MRI at the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2019 to August 2021.Patients were divided into the LVI-positive(LVI+)group(n=79)and LVI-negative(LVI-)group(n=429)based on postoperative pathological results.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify risk factors for LVI.Results Compared with LVI-group,LVI+group had a higher proportion of patients aged<45 years(44.3%vs.27.0%,P=0.002),non-mass-like enhancement(NME)(31.7%vs.17.7%,P=0.004),Ki-67 expression rate(40.0%vs.30.0%,P<0.001),high Ki-67 expression(94.9%vs.78.1%,P=0.001),Luminal B subtype(76.0%vs.60.1%,P=0.008),and positive axillary lymph nodes rate(72.2%vs.31.5%,P<0.001),while the proportion of Luminal A subtype was lower(2.5%vs.21.5%,P<0.001).Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that age≥45 years(OR=0.468,95%CI 0.280-0.783,P=0.004)was an independent protective factor for LVI,while NME(OR=1.987,95%CI 1.126-3.444,P=0.016)was an independent risk factor.Compared with Luminal A subtype,patients with Luminal B subtype(OR=10.482,95%CI 3.164-64.923,P=0.001),HER-2 overexpression subtype(OR=11.571,95%CI 2.755-79.341,P=0.003)and triple-negative subtypes(OR=8.433,95%CI 1.985-57.908,P=0.009)had a higher risk of LVI.Conclusions Age≥45 years is an independent protective factor for LVI,while NME is an independent risk factor.Among molecular subtypes,patients with Luminal B,HER-2 overexpression and triple-negative subtypes have a higher risk of LVI compared with the Luminal A subtype.

Objective To assess the global and Chinese disease burden of early-onset lung cancer(di-agnosed in patients aged 15-49 years)and its major risk factors.Methods Based on the GLOBOCAN 2022 and Global Burden of Disease(GBD)2021 datasets,we evaluated the disease burden and associated risk fac-tors of early-onset lung cancer globally and in China,stratified by age,sex,geographic location,and human development index(HDI).Key indicators included age-standardized incidence rate(ASIR),age-standardized mortality rate(ASMR),and disability adjusted life years(DALYs)attributable to risk factors.Results In 2022,there were 137 705 new cases and 72 646 deaths from early-onset lung cancer globally,with ASIR and ASMR of 3.43 per 100 000 and 1.82 per 100 000 population,respectively.The disease burden was higher in males than in females(ASIR:3.72 per 100 000 vs.3.14 per 100 000;ASMR:2.31 per 100 000 vs.1.33 per 100 000).High-HDI regions exhibited the highest ASIR(5.51 per 100 000)and ASMR(2.57 per 100 000),with health inequality analysis revealing a concentration of disease burden in higher-HDI areas.China bore the heaviest burden,accounting for 48.69%of global new cases and 35.77%of deaths.China's ASIR(8.21 per 100 000)and ASMR(3.17 per 100 000)exceeded global averages,with incidence higher in fe-males(8.78 per 100 000 vs.7.67 per 100 000)but mortality higher in males(4.01 per 100 000 vs.2.29 per 100 000).Smoking and ambient particulate matter pollution were the leading risk factors globally(DALYs contribution:42.01%and15.62%)and in China(DALYs contribution:46.78%and 20.84%).Globally,household air pollution ranked third,whereas in China,secondhand smoke replaced it as the third leading risk factor,with household air pollution dropping to fifth.Risk factor profiles varied significantly across age groups,with modifiable risks contributing less to disease burden in the 15-24 age group.Conclusions The burden of early-onset lung cancer varies markedly by sex,region,and HDI,with China facing a disproportionately high burden.Policymakers should prioritize equitable resource allocation and targeted interventions,particularly in tobacco control and air pollution mitigation,to enhance cancer prevention and control efforts.
