ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological characteristics of 21 respiratory pathogens in influenza-like illness (ILI) cases in Jing’an District, Shanghai in 2024, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of respiratory infectious diseases. MethodsData of1 907 ILI cases at four sentinel hospitals in Jing’an District were collected from January to December 2024. Nasopharyngeal swab samples were collected and tested for 21 respiratory pathogens using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods. Chi-square test and Cochran-Armitage trend test were used for data analyses. ResultsAmong the 1 907 ILI cases, 1 340 were tested positive (70.27%), including 1 160 (60.83%) virus-positive cases, 424 (22.23%) bacteria-positive cases , and 86 (4.51%) positive cases of other pathogens (fungi, mycoplasma, and chlamydia). The top five viruses by detection rate were: influenza virus (14.84%), SARS-CoV-2 (14.47%), rhinovirus (12.69%), adenovirus (7.08%), and parainfluenza virus (6.71%). The top two bacteria by detection rate were Streptococcus pneumoniae (14.47%) and Haemophilus influenzae (10.33%). Among other pathogens (fungi, mycoplasma, and chlamydia), Mycoplasma pneumoniae showed the highest detection rate (4.30%). In terms of age distribution, statistically significant differences were observed in the detection rates of SARS-CoV-2, Legionella, and Klebsiella pneumoniae (P<0.05), with the highest rates found in individuals aged 65 years and above. Statistically significant differences were also found in the detection rates of rhinovirus, adenovirus, enterovirus, common coronavirus, respiratory syncytial virus, bocavirus, parainfluenza virus, human metapenu-movirus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae among different age groups (P<0.05), all showing the highest detection rates in the 0‒<15 years age group. In terms of seasonal distribution, SARS-CoV-2, adenovirus, parainfluenza virus, enterovirus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae showed epidemic peaks in summer; rhinovirus, common coronavirus, bocavirus, and Klebsiella pneumoniae had higher detection rates in autumn. Influenza virus exhibited a peak incidence during winter, while human metapenu-movirus peaked in winter and spring. Significant differences in co-infection detection rates were observed among age groups, with the rate in children aged 0‒<15 years (34.81%) being the highest. The co-infection detection rate was higher in males than in females (P=0.019). Both the single-pathogen detection rate and the co-infection detection rate (P<0.001) varied significantly across seasons: the single-pathogen detection rate was highest in winter (62.06%), while the co-infection detection rate peaked in summer (31.20%) and was lowest in winter (14.52%). ConclusionBased on detection rates, the main pathogens in the ILI population of Jing’an District, Shanghai, 2024 were influenza virus, SARS-CoV-2, rhinovirus, adenovirus, parainfluenza virus, common coronavirus, enterovirus, Human metapenu-movirus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Pathogen detection rates varied by age and season. Coinfection rates were much higher in children than in adults, higher in males than in females, and peaked in summer while being lowest in winter.

BackgroundBoth modified Suanzaoren Decoction and estazolam serve as effective treatments for chronic insomnia disorder （CID）. Default mode network （DMN） dysfunction is recognized as the primary pathophysiological mechanism underlying CID. However， it remains unclear whether the two treatments exert their therapeutic effects via convergent modulation of DMN functional connectivity. ObjectiveTo investigate the convergent remodeling characteristics of bidirectional effective connectivity （EC） of core DMN nodes with both the intra-network and the remaining whole-brain regions in CID patients with Yin-deficiency and fire-hyperactivity syndrome following the treatment with modified Suanzaoren Decoction or estazolam， so as to provide neuroimaging evidence for the convergent neural mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of both therapies in treating CID. MethodsEighty-two patients diagnosed with CID according to the International Classification of Sleep Disorder， third edition （ICSD-3） were consecutively recruited from the outpatient clinic of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Mental Health Center from October 2020 to September 2023. Based on treatment preference， patients were assigned to receive a 6-week intervention in either the modified Suanzaoren Decoction group （n=52） or the estazolam group （n=30）. Ultimately， 66 patients completed follow-up assessments （modified Suanzaoren Decoction group， n=41； estazolam group， n=25）. All CID patients underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging scanning before and after treatment. Core DMN nodes including medial prefrontal cortex （mPFC）， bilateral inferior parietal lobule （IPL）， and precuneus （PCUN） were selected as seed regions. Granger causality analysis （GCA） was employed to assess bidirectional EC between the seed regions and both the other intra-DMN nodes and the remaining whole-brain regions. Hepatic and renal function indices were detected pre- and post-treatment to evaluate the safety profiles of both treatments. ResultsAt baseline， significant between-group differences were identified in EC from the left IPL to the left middle fronto-orbital gyrus/gyrus rectus （t=5.24， Z=4.84， voxel-level P<0.001， cluster-level P<0.05， GRF-corrected）， with the modified Suanzaoren Decoction group exhibiting stronger EC than the estazolam group. No significant between-group differences were observed in EC between other core DMN nodes and remaining whole-brain regions （P>0.05）. Within-group pre- to post-treatment comparisons demonstrated consistent connectivity alterations in both groups. Specifically， EC from the left IPL to the supplementary motor area （SMA） decreased after treatment （modified Suanzaoren Decoction group： t=-6.28， Z=5.208； estazolam group： t=-5.58， Z=4.425）. Conversely， EC from the SMA to the left IPL increased （modified Suanzaoren Decoction group： t=5.89， Z=4.968； estazolam group： t=6.15， Z=4.720）. Furthermore， both groups demonstrated reduced EC from the PCUN to the left IPL （modified Suanzaoren Decoction group： t=-5.85， Z=4.94； estazolam group： t=-5.75， Z=4.515）， and elevated EC from the left IPL to the PCUN （modified Suanzaoren Decoction group： t=5.29， Z=4.579； estazolam group： t=4.55， Z=3.826） （voxel-level P<0.001， cluster-level P<0.05， GRF-corrected）. No significant pre- to post-treatment differences were observed in hepatic or renal function indices in either group （P>0.05）. ConclusionIn CID patients with Yin-deficiency and fire-hyperactivity syndrome， both modified Suanzaoren Decoction and estazolam induce convergent bidirectional remodeling of EC between the left IPL and the SMA and the PCUN. ［Funded by Natural Science Fund Project of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region （number， 2019MS08099）； ClinicalTrials.gov number， NCT06452953］

Objective:To investigate the relationship between lipid levels and cognitive impairment in the elderly Chinese population using prospective cohort data.Methods:Based on the China-PAR (Prediction for Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk in China) cohort, this study included 24 380 individuals aged ≥60 years who participated in the cognitive function follow-up survey from 2018 to 2019. Cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), with cognitive impairment defined according to different educational levels: MMSE ≤17 for illiterate individuals, MMSE ≤20 for those with primary education and MMSE ≤24 for those with secondary education or above. Multivariable linear regression and logistic regression models were employed to examine the associations between six baseline lipid indicators and cognitive scores, as well as cognitive impairment. Additionally, restricted cubic splines were used to explore the exposure-dose relationship between lipid levels and cognitive function.Results:The study population had a median follow-up time of 11.6 years, with a baseline age of (59.7±6.8) years. Among the participants, 9 510 (39.0%) were males, and the mean MMSE score was 24.7±6.8. A total of 3 887 individuals (15.9%) were identified as cognitively impaired. The results of multivariable linear regression and logistic regression indicated that total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) levels were not only significantly positively associated with cognitive scores but also significantly associated with a lower risk of cognitive impairment. Each 1 mmol/L increase in these lipid levels corresponded to β values (95% CI) of 0.267 (0.173-0.361), 0.385(0.271-0.499) and 0.331(0.231-0.431), respectively. Each 1 mmol/L increase in these lipid levels corresponded to odds ratio ( OR) (95% CI) values of 0.915 (0.876-0.956), 0.875 (0.830-0.923) and 0.886 (0.848-0.927), respectively. The dose-response curve demonstrated that the negative association was primarily observed within the guideline-recommended optimal lipid level range. Specifically, when LDL-C was less than 3.4 mmol/L and non-HDL-C was less than 4.1 mmol/L, the corresponding OR (95% CI) values were 0.859 (0.796-0.926) and 0.876 (0.818-0.939). Conclusion:Lipid levels exhibit a certain linear negative association with cognitive impairment in elderly Chinese adults, with LDL-C and non-HDL-C demonstrating a stronger effect, particularly within the guideline-recommended optimal range.

Objective To explore the risk factors of hemodynamic abnormalities in patients with coronary heart disease(CHD)after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)and to determine the contribution of these factors.Methods A total of 150 CHD patients undergoing PCI in our de-partment from January 2021 to December 2023 were prospectively recruited in the study.Accord-ing to the hemodynamic conditions,they were divided into a normal group(104 cases)and an abnor-mal group(46 cases).The causes of hemodynamic abnormalities were analyzed,and attributable risk percentage and population attributable risk percentage of these factors were estimated with logistic regression analysis.Results The hemodynamic abnormalities incidence was 30.7％.The abnormal group had significantly larger proportions of diabetes,smoking,and failures to take medication on time and in the prescribed dosage after surgery,longer stent length,and more stents,but lower level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDLC)when compared with the normal group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified the following risk factors,estimated attributable risk percentage and population attributable risk percentage,diabetes,HDL-C,stent length,smoking,number of stents,and postoperative medication use in turn accord-ing to their contribution levels.Conclusion Rather complex causes lead to hemodynamic abnor-malities in CHD patients after PCI.In order of the contribution levels from high to low,they are diabetes,HDL-C,stent length,smoking,number of stents,and postoperative medication use.

Drug-induced liver injury(DILI)is one of the major challenges in drug development and clinical practice,and effective prevention and con-trol measures remain lacking.Research has shown that DILI is primarily mediated by immune respons-es.Human leukocyte antigen(HLA)alleles are cur-rently the strongest genetic factors reported to be associated with DILI.Due to the low positive predic-tive value of HLA alleles,preemptive HLA genetic screening has limited clinical utility in preventing DILI.However,its high negative predictive value makes it valuable for DILI diagnosis and causality assessment.In recent years,polymorphisms in im-mune-related genes-such as those involved in anti-gen processing and presentation pathways,T-cell receptors,immunostimulatory molecules,and cyto-kines-have been found to be associated with DILI.Future studies combining these genes with HLA analysis may provide deeper mechanistic insights into DILI and facilitate their translational applica-tion in clinical practice,ultimately improving drug safety.

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 construct a prognostic model across multiple cancer types based on exhausted T cell(Tex)gene sets and to identify novel Tex cell markers.Methods:A pan-cancer single-cell dataset of CD8+T cells was utilized to identify the pan-cancer Tex gene set.Differential expression analysis and Cox regression analysis of TCGA data were performed to screen pan-cancer prognostic genes.These genes were then intersected with the Tex gene set,yielding a pan-cancer Tex prognostic gene set.Cox regression analysis was used to construct a pan-cancer prognostic model,and the model's performance was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier survival curve and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analyses.In addition,correlation analysis was further applied to explore the role of TNFRSF18 in immunotherapy.Results:Cox regression analysis identified CXCL13,CDKN2A,TNFRSF18,and IL2RA as key prognostic genes,on which the prognostic model was constructed.Survival analysis showed that patients in the low-risk group exhibited significantly higher survival rates across various cancer types(P<0.05).Single-cell data analysis demonstrated that TNFRSF18 was specifically expressed in Tex cells and was significantly upregulated in tumor samples from various cancers(P<0.05).Conclusion:The pan-cancer Tex cell-based prognostic model showed robust predictive performance across various cancers.TNFRSF18 may function as a novel potential biomarker of Tex cells and play a role in cancer immunotherapy.
