Understanding the patterns and occurrence of influenza is crucial for effective public health responses. National sentinel surveillance systems provide invaluable data that can be used to track the prevalence, seasonality and evolution of influenza viruses, and to inform timely interventions and early warning systems for disease control. This study aimed to describe the trends in influenza-like illness (ILI) and influenza incidence based on data obtained from ILI surveillance conducted among patients presenting to health facilities with symptoms indicative of influenza in Cambodia during 2006–2023. A total of 27 098 samples were tested, of which 15.5% were positive for influenza. Of these, 63.6% were influenza A, 36.2% were influenza B, and 0.2% were both influenza A and B. The annual incidence of influenza among the outpatient population varied, averaging 8.2 cases (range: 0.05–23.8) per 1000 population. Incidence rates were highest in 2007, 2008 and early 2023. The overall positivity rate was 16%. Not all ILI surveillance sites were consistently active during the study period, primarily due to funding constraints. Given the constraints of sentinel site coverage and data collection inconsistency, the study emphasizes the vital need for ongoing and improved ILI surveillance to accurately assess influenza incidence. To gain a more detailed picture of influenza dynamics in Cambodia, surveillance systems should be strengthened and data collection should be expanded to include asymptomatic patients and other important patient characteristics. These results are needed to guide regional and national influenza preparedness, prevention and control initiatives.

In order to explore the effects of lipopolysaccharide(LPS)on the repair of bovine endo-metrial stromal cells(BESCs)during inflammatory response,BESCs were treated by LPS in this study.Cell apoptosis rate was detected using flow cytometry,cell viability was measured using the CCK-8 assay,cell migration ability was observed using a scratch assay,and the expression of con-nective tissue growth factor(CTGF),transforming growth factor-beta 3(TGF-β3)and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)mRNA was measured using qRT-PCR.Additionally,the expression of key proteins in the PI3K/AKT and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways was assessed using Western blot analysis.The results showed that cell viability of BESCs significantly decreased(P＜0.01),cell migration ability decreased(P＜0.05),apoptosis rate of BESCs increased(P＜0.01),CTGF and TGF-β3 mRNA expression levels decreased(P＜0.01),while VEGF mRNA ex-pression increased after treatment with LPS(P＜0.01).The phosphorylation levels of PI3K,AKT and GSK-3β proteins decreased(P＜0.05),as well as the expression levels of c-Myc and Cyclin-D1 proteins also decreased(P＜0.01).These results indicated that LPS can inhibit the proliferation of BESCs and promote cell apoptosis possibly through the inhibition of the PI3K/AKT and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways.

Objective To rescue a strain of Chikungunya virus(CHIKV)using reverse genetics system.Methods Molecular cloning experiments,including PCR,agarose gel electrophoresis and homologous recombination were employed to generate an infectious cDNA clone(pFK-CHIKV-LN)derived from the isolated Caribbean Chikungunya strain(Caribbean strain,isolate M100,Genbank LN898083.1).The mRNA obtained from vitro transcription were transfected into BHK-21 to rescue the CHIKV.The viral titer was determined by 50%tissue culture infection dose(TCID50),with calculations performed using the Reed-Muench method.Western blot(WB)and real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR)were employed to assess the levels of viral protein and mRNA at various time points during infection.Results The full-length cDNA clone of CHIKV was successfully constructed,enabling the rescue of CHIKV progeny.RT-qPCR and WB confirmed the significant increasing expression levels of NS1 mRNA and proteins(NS3,E1)of BHK-21 during the infection process.Conclusion The full-length infectious clone of CHIKV has been constructed successfully,which provides a good tool for subsequent studies on the gene structure,protein function and pathogenic mechanism of CHIKV.

Objective To investigate the mammographic imaging features of breast cancer and its correlation with microvascular density(MVD).Methods A total of 86 patients with breast cancer confirmed by surgical pathology in Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps 7th Division Hospital from January 2019 to December 2022 were selected as the research objects.According to the modified Bloom Richard-son scoring system,the breast cancer patients were classified into histological grade Ⅰ(n=22),grade Ⅱ(n=25)and grade Ⅲ(n=39).All patients underwent preoperative mammographic imaging examination.Immunohistochemistry staining was performed and MVD count was conducted after operation.Spearman rank correlation was used to analyze the correlation between MVD of breast cancer with different histo-logical grades and mammographic imaging features.Results The microvascular positive expression rate of breast cancer lesions was 100%,the MVD counts per visual field were 14～276 vessels,with an average of(72.58±16.37)vessels,of which the MVD counts of patients with histological grade Ⅰ to Ⅱ were 14 to 175 vessels,with an average of(42.10±13.51)vessels;the MVD counts of patients with histological grade Ⅲ was 22～276 vessels,with an average of(93.82±22.17)vessels.The MVD counts of patients with histological grade Ⅲ was signifi-cantly higher than that of patients with histological grade Ⅰ to Ⅱ,with statistically significant difference(t=19.627,P<0.001).The incidences of irregular margin,spicular sign,axillary lymph node metastasis and fine particle calcification in patients with histological gradeⅢ were higher than those in patients with histological grade Ⅰ to Ⅱ,with statistically significant difference(P<0.05).The MVD counts of breast cancer patients with irregular margin,spicular sign,axillary lymph node metastasis and fine particle calcification were higher than those of patients with smooth margin and without spicular sign,axillary lymph node metastasis or fine particle calcification,which was positively correlated with histological grades(P<0.05).Conclusion Some mammographic imaging features of breast cancer can reflect tumor angiogenesis to a certain extent,which can provide important reference for the treatment and prognosis of the disease,with certain clinical value.
