Objective:To characterize the epidemiological features of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in Jixi region, Heilongjiang Province, and to develop an autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model to predict the incidence trend of HFRS, thus to provide a scientific basis for targeted prevention and control.Methods:HFRS case data and host animals surveillance data from January 2013 to December 2024 in Jixi City were collected. Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the temporal, spatial, and population distribution characteristics of HFRS, with comparisons made using the chi-square test. ArcGIS10.8.2 software was employed for spatial clustering analysis. Moran I was used to assess the overall spatial trend of HFRS incidence. Getis-Ord Gi * analyses was used to identify the hotspots and coldspots. SaTScan v10.2 software was applied to detect spatiotemporal clusters. The Spearman correlation analysis was used to examine the relationship between rodent viral load index and HFRS incidence. ARIMA model was constructed and optimized using Bayesian information criterion (BIC) for short-term prediction of HFRS. Results:From January 2013 to December 2024, a total of 1 045 HFRS cases were reported in Jixi City, with an average annual incidence rate of 5.09/100 000. Three epidemic peaks were observed: 2014 (8.12/100 000), 2019 (7.22/100 000), and 2023 (3.86/100 000). The temporal distribution showed a bimodal pattern, with the autumn-winter peak (October to December) having more cases than the spring-summer peak (May to June). Geographically, cases were mainly concentrated in the central-eastern urban areas of Jixi City. The average annual incidence rate in males (7.89/100 000) was significantly higher than that in females (2.24/100 000), the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=322.15, P<0.001). The highest incidence rate was observed in the 50 to 59 age group (6.79/100 000), and farmers accounted for the largest proportion of cases (59.04% (617/1 045)). Spatial analysis revealed clustered distribution (Moran I=0.50, P<0.05), with hotspots in Hulin City and Mishan City. Spatiotemporal analysis identified one significant cluster (radius=89.2 km). No correlation was found between the rodent viral load index and HFRS incidence ( r=0.455, P=0.138). The optimal short-term prediction model was ARIMA (1, 0, 0) (0, 1, 1) (BIC=-3.24), which forecasted 38 HFRS cases in Jixi City in 2025. Conclusions:HFRS incidence in Jixi City exhibits periodicity, seasonality, and spatial clustering. The developed ARIMA model provides a valuable tool for predicting incidence trends, thus to optimize vaccination, rodent control, and surveillance measures in high-risk areas and populations.

Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI). WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 were used to analyze the data.Results:During the study period,11 492 strains of Gram-negative bacteria were collected from 60 hospitals,of which 10 098(87.9%)were Enterobacterales and 1 394(12.1%)were non-fermentative bacteria. The top 5 bacterial species were Escherichia coli(50.0%), Klebsiella pneumoniae(26.1%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa(5.1%), Acinetobacter baumannii complex(5.0%)and Enterobacter cloacae complex(4.1%). The ESBL-producing rates in Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirablilis were 46.8%(2 685/5 741),18.3%(549/2 999)and 44.0%(77/175),respectively. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli(CREC)and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)were 1.3%(76/5 741)and 15.0%(450/2 999);32.9%(25/76)and 78.0%(351/450)of CREC and CRKP were sensitive to ceftazidime/avibactam combination,respectively. 94.7%(72/76)and 90.2%(406/450)of CREC and CRKP were sensitive to aztreonam/avibactam combination. Furthermore,57.9%(44/76)and 79.1%(356/450)were sensitive to imipenem/relebactam combination. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii(CRAB)complex was 64.6%(370/573),while more than 80.0% of CRAB complex was sensitive to tigecycline,eravacycline and polymyxin B. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa(CRPA)was 17.0%(99/581). There were differences in the composition ratio of Gram-negative bacteria in bloodstream infections and the prevalence of important Gram-negative bacteria resistance among different regions in China,with statistically significant differences in the prevalence of CREC,CRKP,CRPA and CRAB complex( χ2=10.6,28.6,10.8 and 19.3, P<0.05). The prevalence of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli, CREC,CRAB complex and CRKP were higher in provincial hospitals than those in municipal hospitals( χ2=12.5,9.8,12.7 and 57.8,all P<0.01). Conclusions:Gram-negative bacteria are the main pathogens causing bloodstream infections in China,and Escherichia coli is ranked in the top,while the trend of Klebsiella pneumoniae increases continuously with time. CRKP infection shows a slow upward trend,CREC infecton maintains a low prevalence level,and CRAB complex infection continues to exhibit a high prevalence rate. The composition and resistance patterns of pathogens causing bloodstream infections vary to some extent across different regions and levels of hospitals in China.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic efficacy of time-dependent diffusion MRI (t d-dMRI)-derived microstructural parameters for clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) and their associations with the pathological grade of prostate cancer(PCa) based on the International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grades. Methods:This cross-sectional study prospectively enrolled 196 patients suspected of PCa from March 2023 to March 2024 at the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University. All patients underwent multiparametric MRI and t d-dMRI to obtain microstructural parameters, including cell diameter (d), intracellular volume fraction (f in), extracellular diffusion coefficient (D ex), cellularity, and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value at oscillation frequencies of 33 Hz, 17 Hz, 0 Hz (ADC 33, ADC 17, and ADC 0). Pathologically, 95 cases were classified as csPCa (ISUP 2-5), and the rest 101 cases were classified as non-csPCa (benign or ISUP 1). Comparison of these microstructural metrics was made between csPCa and non-csPCa groups by independent t-tests or Mann-Whitney U tests, and multivariable logistic regression was used to identify independent predictors. A combined diagnostic model was then constructed based on the independent predictors. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to evaluate the diagnostic performance. Finally, in PCa, the correlation between microstructural parameters and ISUP grades was investigated by Spearman correlation. Results:The t d-dMRI measurements, including d, f in, cellularity, ADC 33,ADC 17 and ADC 0, were significantly different between csPCa and non-csPCa groups (All P<0.05). But D ex was not significantly different between the two groups ( Z=-1.27, P=0.204). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) for diagnosing csPCa were 0.701 (95% CI 0.628-0.775) for d, 0.869 (95% CI 0.819-0.920) for f in, 0.884 (95% CI 0.835-0.932) for cellularity, 0.777 (95% CI 0.712-0.842) for ADC 33, 0.852 (95% CI 0.799-0.905) for ADC 17, and 0.840 (95% CI 0.786-0.894) for ADC 0. Cellularity ( OR=6.142, 95% CI 2.920-12.929, P<0.001) and ADC 17 ( OR=0.108, 95% CI 0.027-0.429, P=0.002) were identified as the independent predictors, and their combined model achieved an AUC of 0.896 (95% CI 0.852-0.941). In PCa f in and cellularity were positively correlated with ISUP grades ( r=0.490 and 0.397, P<0.001), while ADC 33, ADC 17, and ADC 0 were negatively correlated with ISUP grades ( r=-0.198, -0.345, -0.360; P=0.041,<0.001,<0.001). d and D ex were not correlated with ISUP grades ( P>0.05). Conclusion:t d-dMRI based microstructural mapping correlates with ISUP grades of PCa and may be useful for the differential diagnosis of csPCa.

Objective:To establish a rapid method for determination of iodine in water by sodium persulfate oxidation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).Methods:A 100 μl of 30% sodium persulfate solution was added to 10 ml of water sample, followed by reaction at room temperature for 30 min. A 50 μg/L mixed solution containing indium and 8 other elements was used as the internal standard solution. The flow ratio of the internal standard solution to the test solution was 1∶7. The iodine in water was determined by ICP-MS. The linear range, detection limit, accuracy, precision, and anti-interference ability of the method were evaluated.Results:Iodine in water could be determined and had a good linear relationship within the range of 0 - 100 μg/L, with a correlation coefficient ( r) of ≥0.999 9. The detection limits of potassium iodate and potassium iodide were 0.07 and 0.08 μg/L, respectively, and the quantitation limits were 0.24 and 0.26 μg/L, respectively. The low, medium, and high concentration spiked recovery rates of six substrate water samples (source water, treated water, end-use water, packaged drinking water, packaged mineral water, and natural mineral water) ranged from 94.0% to 104.0%, with a relative standard deviations ( RSD) ranged from 0.5% to 2.8%. Interference test confirmed that 29 elements (at 1.00 mg/L) did not affect the determination of iodine at 6.00 μg/L. The determination results of the standard substance (GBW09114K) for iodine content in water were all within the standard range (56.0 - 68.0 μg/L), with an RSD of 0.6%. Conclusions:A method for rapid determination of iodine in water by the sodium persulfate oxidation ICP-MS method is successfully established. This method is easy to operate, has high sensitivity and good accuracy, and is suitable for batch analysis of iodine in drinking water and mineral water.
