Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of a short video based health education model in enhancing e-cigarette awareness among junior high school students, so as to provide empirical evidence for optimizing school based health education in the digital era. Methods: In December 2024, a cluster sampling method was applied to recruit 465 eighth grade students from a middle school in Kunming for a survey. The intervention was implemented through playing short videos produced by the research team in the classroom, and a self designed adolescent e-cigarette questionnaire was used to conduct assessments before and after intervention, along with qualitative interviews with 60 teachers and students by purposive sampling. Pre and post intervention outcomes were compared by using paired t-test and Chi-square test. Qualitative data underwent a three stage coding process of "open, axial, and selective coding" to construct an explanatory framework. Results: Quantitative analysis showed significant post intervention increases in both baseline awareness scores（92.1±6.6）and deep awareness scores (70.0±17.6) compared with pre intervention( 78.2± 14.0，46.1±20.5)( t =23.54，26.72，both P <0.05), both meeting the criteria for large effect sizes (Cohen s d =1.09, 1.24). The improvement in deep awareness was particularly pronounced, specifically regarding addictive ingredients, illicit additives(tiletamine,metomidate,etomidate), and misconceptions about smoking cessation efficacy ( χ 2=150.54,113.27,117.40,112.92, 69.93 , all P <0.01). Qualitative insights revealed that narrative transportation and visual enhancement were the core mechanisms of efficacy: 87.3% of students preferred contextualized narratives, 85.5% of students decoded cognitive bottlenecks more effectively because of visual enhancement, and 72.7% relied on short videos for micro learning. Conclusion Short video based health education can effectively enhance e-cigarette awareness among junior high school students, offering a pragmatically viable digital pathway for school based health education.

Objective To analyze the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of influenza A(H3N2) in Tangshan City, Hebei Province, from 2023 to 2025, and to provide a scientific basis for precise prevention and control of local influenza. Methods The influenza-like cases and influenza outbreak cases in the influenza surveillance sentinel hospitals in Tangshan City from January 2023 to December 2025 were included in this study. The clinical characteristics and epidemic characteristics of H3N2 influenza patients were analyzed by descriptive epidemiological methods and chi-square test. Results A total of 11 567 influenza case samples were tested in the study, with a positive rate of 9.34% (1 080/11 567). Influenza A (H3N2) remained the predominant circulating subtype throughout the study period. January 2023 to February 2023 marked the tailing end of the previous season’s H3N2. Then, a minor peak dominated by H1N1 occurred from March to June, and H3N2 circulated again from October to December, peaking in December. From September 2024 to December 2024, H1N1 and H3N2 circulated concurrently, with H3N2 as the dominant strain, peaking in January of the following year. From March 2025 to September 2025, influenza activity remained at low level, and activity began to rise in October, with H1N1 peaking in November before declining, and H3N2 becoming the dominant strain in December. H3N2 mainly occurred in the 5-14 years old group. Cases in the 0–4-year-old group were primarily characterized by gastrointestinal symptoms, with high fever being common. Cases in the 5–59-year-old group were primarily characterized by systemic and respiratory symptoms, with better clinical outcomes. Cases aged 60 and older exhibited the highest rates of hospitalization, severe illness, and incidence of complications. Conclusion From 2023 to 2025, the influenza virus in Tangshan City, Hebei Province is dominated by influenza A (H3N2). The epidemic is characterized by a peak incidence during autumn and winter, co-circulation with H1N1, and fluctuations during the peak period. It is necessary to pay attention to the clinical management and prevention and control of influenza A (H3N2) in infants and the elderly.

Objective:To analyze the status of registration of clinical trials of radiopharmaceuticals in China, and to provide reference for the development and clinical application of radiopharmaceuticals.Methods:By searching the clinical trial registration and information disclosure platform of the Center for Drug Evaluation of the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA), the data on clinical trials of radiopharmaceuticals registered from 2014 to 2024 were collected and analyzed for trial design, administered dose, common indications, and geographical distribution.Results:A total of 77 clinical trials were included. The Compound Annual Growth Rate for the number of projects from 2014 to 2024 was 40%. Diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals were predominantly based on 18F and 99Tc m, while therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals primarily utilized 177Lu and 90Y. All indications were concentrated in the field of oncology. Regarding trial design, non-randomized (71.4%), open-label (89.6%), and single-arm (66.2%) trials accounted for the highest proportions. Geographical distribution showed Beijing (29 trials), Shanghai (18 trials), and Jiangsu province (14 trials) as the regions with the highest concentration of clinical trials. Conclusions:Radiopharmaceutical clinical trials in China have shown rapid growth. However, research remains predominantly focused on oncology, with a relatively high proportion of early-stage trials. In order to fully utilize the potentials of radiopharmaceuticals and improve the quality of clinical trials, nuclear medicine researches should broaden therapeutic applications, implement prudently administerd dose in clinical trials, and implement optimized radiation protection procedures across all clinical trial centers.

An assay was established for detection of toxigenic Clostridioides difficile by combining microfluidic chip analysis with immunochromatography,and its performance was evaluated and compared with those of the Xpert C.difficile/Epi and VIDAS CD AB tests.Primer pairs were designed according to the tcdB and tpi genes in C.difficile.The specificity,limit of detection,reproducibility,and stability were evaluated.A total of 215 stool samples from patients with diarrhea were collected and tested in parallel with the Xpert C.difficile/Epi,VIDAS CDAB,and our assay.C.difficile was isolated from samples,and the tcdB gene was identified when discrepant results were obtained from the three above assays.Our assay showed no cross-reaction with other diarrhea-associated pathogens.Its reproducibility was 100％in testing of two standard plasmids containing tcdB and tpi genes at two concentrations(105 and 102 copies/μL).Two standard plasmids were detected after the PCR and immunochromatography reagents had been stored for 3,6,9,and 12 months,and all the results were posi-tive.The limit of detection was 10 copies/μL for toxigenic C.difficile.Testing of 33 samples positive for C.difficile with our assay(33/215,15.3％)yielded findings statistically coherent with those of the Xpert C.difficile/Epi test(kappa value=0.965).The sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,and negative predictive value of our assay,with respect to Xpert C.difficile/Epi as the standard,were 94.3％,100.0％,100.0％,and 98.9％;these values were significantly higher than those of VIDAS CDAB(60.0％,98.9％,91.3％,and 92.7％)(Kappa=0.714,OR=157.50,95％CI:62.03-847.28,P=0.013).In conclusion,our newly developed assay is specific,stable,and reproducible,and may be used for rapid and accu-rate detection of toxigenic C.difficile.The assay could be used for C.difficile infection screening in outpatient and emergen-cy,community medical service center,and epidemiological settings.

Objective:To evaluate the quality of psychological distress assessment tools for cancer patients and provide evidence for clinical nurses in selecting appropriate instruments.Methods:A systematic literature search was conducted in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, Wanfang Data, China Biology Medicine disc, Embase, Cochrane Library, Medline, Web of Science, and PubMed from database inception to May 27, 2024, to identify studies on psychological distress assessment tools for cancer patients. Two reviewers independently screened the literature and extracted data based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The quality of the included tools was evaluated using the Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) guideline, and the quality grading was made using a modified Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach.Results:A total of 25 articles involving 21 assessment tools were included. None of the tools reported measurement error, responsiveness, or hypothesis testing. Among them, 3 instruments: Chinese version of the Cancer Distress Scales for Adolescent and Young Adults (CDS-AYA-C), Chinese version of the Memorial Anxiety Scale for Prostate Cancer (MAX-PC), and the Chinese version of the Short Demoralization Scale (DS-Ⅱ-C) were given grade A recommendations. The remaining 18 tools received grade B recommendations.Conclusions:The CDS-AYA-C, MAX-PC, and DS-Ⅱ-C demonstrated relatively balanced measurement properties and can be temporarily recommended for assessing psychological distress in cancer patients. However, further validation of their methodological quality and psychometric properties is needed. It is also recommended to develop culturally adapted psychological distress assessment tools for cancer patients in China.

Yinyang Gongji Pills have the effects of strengthening the body resistance to eliminate pathogenic factors, removing stasis, and reducing swelling, which is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) formula for treating intestinal accumulation. A real-world, registered, and single-arm clinical trial was conducted to observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Yinyang Gongji Pills combined with capecitabine in the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer and analyze the clinical characteristics of the patients. A total of 60 patients with advanced colorectal cancer who refused or could not tolerate standard treatment of western medicine were included in the study. They were treated with Yinyang Gongji Pills combined with capecitabine until disease progression or intolerable adverse events occurred. The main observation indicators were progression-free survival(PFS) and safety. The treatment effects of the patients under different baseline characteristics were analyzed. The clinical trial has found that the median PFS of all enrolled patients was 7.3 months, with 30.1% of patients having a PFS exceeding 12.0 months. Layered analysis showed that the median PFS of patients with the onset site being the colon and rectum were respectively 8.4 and 4.7 months. The median PFS of patients with high, medium, and low tumor burden were respectively 7.0, 4.7, and 10.8 months. The median PFS of patients with wild-type and mutant-type RAS/BRAF were respectively 7.9 and 6.9 months. The median PFS of patients with KPS scores ≥80 and ≤70 were respectively 7.9 and 6.5 months. The median PFS of patients treated with Yinyang Gongji Pills for ≥6, 3-6, and ≤3 months were respectively 8.0, 5.2, and 4.2 months. The median PFS of patients with spleen, kidney, liver, and lung syndrome differentiation in TCM were respectively 8.3, 6.7, 7.3, and 5.6 months. The median PFS of patients with TCM pathological factors including phlegm, dampness, and blood stasis were respectively 7.0, 7.3, and 6.5 months. Common adverse reactions include anemia, decreased white blood cells, decreased appetite, fatigue, and hand foot syndrome, with incidence rates being respectively 44.2%, 34.6%, 42.3%, 32.7%, and 17.3%. The results showed that the combination of Yinyang Gongji Pills and capecitabine demonstrated potential clinical efficacy and good safety in this study. The patients have clinical characteristics such as low tumor burden, onset site at the colon, KPS scores ≥ 80, long duration of oral TCM, and TCM syndrome differentiation including spleen or liver.
