BACKGROUND: The proportion of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations is relatively high in China. However, these patients currently lack significant benefits from available neoadjuvant treatment options. This study aims to explore the potential application value of neoadjuvant targeted therapy by evaluating its efficacy and safety in patients with EGFR-mutant resectable lung adenocarcinoma. METHODS: A multicenter retrospective study was used to analyze the treatment effect of patients with stage IIA-IIIB EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma who underwent surgical resection after receiving neoadjuvant targeted therapy from July 2019 to October 2024. RESULTS: A total of 24 patients with EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma from three centers were included in this study. All patients successfully underwent surgery and achieved R0 resection of 100.0%. The objective response rate (ORR) was 83.3% (20/24) . The major pathologic response (MPR) rate was 37.5% (9/24), with 2 patients (8.3%) achieving pathological complete response (pCR). During neoadjuvant therapy, 13 out of 24 patients (54.2%) experienced adverse events of grade 1-2, with no occurrences of ≥ grade 3. The most common treatment-related adverse events were rash (n=4, 16.7%), mouth sores (n=2, 8.3%), and diarrhea (n=2, 8.3%). The median follow-up time was 33.0 months, no deaths occurred in all patients, and the overall survival (OS) rate was 100.0%. The 1-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate was 91.1%, and the 2-year DFS rate remained at 86.2%. CONCLUSIONS The application of neoadjuvant targeted therapy in patients with EGFR-mutant resectable lung adenocarcinoma is safe and feasible, and is expected to become a highly promising neoadjuvant treatment option for the patients with EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma.

Objective:To understand the pathogenic composition and epidemiological characteristics of febrile respiratory syndrome (FRS) in elderly people aged 60 and above in China, and to provide a reference basis for the scientific and precise prevention and control of FRS in the elderly.Methods:Based on FRS cases surveillance data from information management system of National Technical Platform for Infectious Disease Surveillance, National Science and Technology Major Project of China, the surveillance pathogens included 8 viruses, including influenza virus (IFV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), adenovirus (HAdV), parainfluenza virus (HPIV), metapneumovirus (HMPV), coronavirus (HCoV), bocavirus and rhinovirus (HRV); 7 bacterias, namely Streptococcus pneumoniae ( S.pneumoniae), Staphylococcus aureus ( S.aureus), Klebsiella pneumoniae ( K.pneumoniae), Pseudomonas aeruginosa ( P.aeruginosa), Group A Streptococcus ( GAS), Haemophilus influenzae ( H.influenzae) and Legionella pneumophila ( L. pneumophila), in addition to Chlamydia pneumoniae ( C. pneumoniae) and Mycoplasma pneumoniae ( M. pneumoniae). A descriptive epidemiological approach was used to analyze the pathogenic composition and major epidemiological characteristics of FRS cases aged 60 years and older nationwide from 2009 to 2021. Results:The predominant viruses of FRS cases aged≥60 years accounted for 87.93% of the pathogen spectrum in China, including IFV (42.42%), HRV (16.71%), HPIV (11.53%), HCoV (9.52%), and RSV (7.75%), while the pathogen spectrum of the major bacteria accounted for 94.60%, including S. pneumoniae (25.71%), P. aeruginosa (24.97%), K. pneumoniae (22.47%), H. influenzae (12.23%), and S. aureus (9.22%). Influenza viruses have always been at the top of the viral pathogen spectrum, and P. aeruginosa, K. pneumoniae and S. pneumoniae, ranked high in the bacterial pathogen spectrum. Among them, the proportions of HRV, HPIV, RSV, K. pneumoniae, and H. influenzae fluctuated and increased during the 13 years of observation. The positive rate of any pathogen in FRS cases was higher in out patient emergencies (32.83%) than in hospitalized cases (27.26%) ( χ2 =125.89, P<0.001). The positive rate of IFV was higher in cases aged 60-74 years (13.66%). The positive rate of P. aeruginosa and K. pneumoniae were higher in cases aged ≥90 years (10.71%, 9.40%) and in northern regions (8.32%, 7.30%). The positive rate of any pathogen in FRS cases was higher in winter (33.82%) than in other seasons ( χ2=212.03, P<0.001). The positive rate of IFV and HRV were higher in winter (22.87%) and autumn (5.98%) and the positive rate of P.aeruginosa (8.11%) and K.pneumoniae (8.30%) were higher in summer. Conclusions:IFV, HRV, HPIV, S. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa and K. pneumoniae were respectively the top three pathogens in the viral and bacterial pathogen spectrum of FRS cases aged 60 years and above in China from 2009 to 2021, and the positive rate of these main pathogens showed differences between age groups, seasons, and geographic regions. In the future, the dynamic surveillance of various pathogens in the elderly with respiratory tract infections should be continuously strengthened.

Objective To investigate the impacts of percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar discectomy(PEID)on pain level and lumbar function in patients with lumbar disc herniation(LDH).Methods From January 2022 to August 2023,84 patients were diagnosed with L4/5 LDH based on clinical data and imaging information were selected as the study subjects.And they were assigned into 42 cases in experimental group and 42 cases in traditional groups complying with treatment methods.The traditional group underwent traditional open approach treatment,while the experimental group underwent PEID.The surgical indicators(including hospitalization time,surgical time,bed rest time,and intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency),the levels of interleukin-6(IL-6)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)were compared between the two groups,the visual analogue scale(VAS)score and Oswestry disability index(ODI)were used to quantify the pain level of waist and lower limbs and lumbar function,and the excellent and good rate of clinical satisfaction and the incidence of complications were compared.Results The hospitalization time and bed rest time of the experimental group were obviously shorter than those of the traditional group,while the fluoroscopy frequency was less than that of the traditional group,and surgical time was longer than that of the traditional group,the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).After treatment,the pain VAS score and ODI of waist and lower limbs,the IL-6,and TNF-α in the two groups were lower than those before treatment,the experimental group was lower than the traditional group,the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The excellent and good rate of the experimental group and the traditional group were 88.10％and 83.33％,respectively,with no statistically significant difference(P＞0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the total incidence of complications between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion PEID surgery can effectively alleviate nerve compression,alleviate pain of waist and lower limbs,promote the recovering of lumbar function,and facilitate postoperative recovery in LDH patients.

AIM: To evaluate the effect of remimazolam on early postoperative cognitive function in elderly patients with hip fracture based on a randomized controlled trial. METHODS: A total of 106 elderly patients, aged 65-90 years, ASA grade Ⅱ or III, who underwent hip fracture surgery under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia in the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from December 2022 to June 2023 and met the inclusion criteria, were selected and randomized into remimazolam group (group R) and propofol group (group P) according to the random number table, with 53 cases in each group. Patients in group P received a slow intravenous injection of propofol at a dose of 0.3-0.5 mg / kg (injection time of 1min), followed by a pump infusion at 0.5-3 mg · kg

Objective:To identify the risk factors for 1-year death after surgery in elderly patients with hip fractures and evaluate the accuracy of the prediction model based on LASSO-logistic regression analysis.Methods:A case-control study was conducted on elderly patients (age ≥65 yr) who underwent surgical treatment for hip fractures in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January to December 2019. Patients were divided into death group and survival group according to their survival status at 1-year after surgery. General data and preoperative laboratory indicators were obtained. The variables were selected by utilizing LASSO regression and incorporated into multivariate logistic regression analysis to identify the risk factors for 1-year death after surgery in elderly patients with hip fractures. Then a prediction model was established based on the results and evaluated.Results:There were 63 patients in death group and 564 in survival group. The results of LASSO regression and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, preoperative cognitive dysfunction, Chalson comorbidity index ≥3 points and preoperative serum prealbumin level were the independent risk factors for 1-year death after surgery in elderly patients with hip fractures ( P<0.05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the prediction model was 0.788 (95% confidence interval [0.731-0.846]), with the sensitivity and specificity of 76.2% and 68.6% respectively. The average absolute error of the calibration curve was 0.007. The results of Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test showed that there was no significant difference between the predicted value and actual observed value ( χ2=5.065, P=0.751). Decision curve analysis showed that patients had a high net benefit rate when the threshold probability range was 0-0.7. Conclusions:Age, preoperative cognitive dysfunction, Chalson comorbidity index ≥3 points and preoperative serum prealbumin level are the independent risk factors for 1-year death after surgery in elderly patients with hip fractures, and the prediction model developed based on LASSO-logistic regression has high accuracy.

Objective:To introduce the progress in research of rash and fever syndrome (RFS) surveillance and early warning both at home and abroad, and provide reference for surveillance and prevention of RFS in China.Methods:The keywords "fever" "rash" and "surveillance" and others were used for a literature retrieval by using China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, PubMed and Web of Science. The languages of literatures were limited in Chinese and English. The key information of the literatures were collected and analyzed with Excel.Results:A total of 36 study papers (21 in Chinese and 15 in English) were included. The studies mainly focused on the pathogen surveillance of RFS ( n=19). The pathogens included measles virus, varicella-zoster virus, rubella virus, enterovirus, human B19 virus, dengue virus, streptococcus group A, Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratyphoid,human herpesvirus, mumps virus and adenovirus. Eight studies were about the surveillance in major events, such as sport game, World Expo and religious gathering, or sudden natural disasters, such as earthquake and tropical storm, during 2010-2015. Eight studies focused on case or epidemic surveillance, most of which were studies from other counties. The surveillance sites were medical institutions. RFS was diagnosed according to the International Classification of Diseases, 9 th (ICD-9) and symptoms descripted in chief-complaint. Only one study in Mongolia conducted RFS epidemic prediction. The analysis methods of 36 papers included simple descriptive analysis, time-based early warning models (such as regression analysis, fixed threshold method, Hugh Hart control chart method and cumulative sum control chart method) and time series analysis method. Conclusions:In the future, RFS surveillance system should cover both known pathogens and emerging pathogens. Automatic surveillance using information capture and intelligent modelling can be applied to improve the sensitivity and specificity of RFS surveillance and early warning.

Medical and preventive integration effectively bridges the gap between "treating diseases" and "preventing diseases". Over the years, medical and preventive integration research has focused on chronic and chronic infectious diseases, with insufficient attention to acute ones. Confronting newly emerging infectious diseases establishing continuous monitoring, early warning, emergency response, and appropriate treatment will be a key focus for developing and reforming the healthcare system. Interoperability and sharing of medical and health data are essential prerequisites for bridging the gap between medical treatment and disease prevention and are also important for promoting intelligent surveillance and early warning of infectious diseases. Informatization is necessary to achieve efficient collaboration between medical treatment and disease prevention. Reviewing the development of medical and health informatization in the United States and Europe, this paper compares and discusses the problems and challenges in developing medical and health informatization in China. The aim is to provide references for the development of medical and health informatization and the innovation of medical and preventive integration mechanisms in the country.

ObjectiveIn order to explore the utilization value of the seeds dropped in the harvesting， processing， storage and transportation of Prunellae Spica， the character， turgidity and chemical composition of the seeds were analyzed and compared with those of the commercially available varieties， such as chia seeds and basil seeds. MethodCharacter was observed directly. The turgidity was determined according to the method of general rule 2101 of Chinese Pharmacopoeia （part Ⅳ， the 2020 edition）. The contents of six phenolic acids （danshensu， protocatechuic acid， protocatechuic aldehyde， caffeic acid， salviaflaside and rosmarinic acid） were determined by ultra performance liquid chromatography （UPLC）， acetonitrile （A）-0.1% formic acid aqueous solution （B） was used as mobile phase for gradient elution （0-7 min， 2%-8%A； 7-13 min， 8%A； 13-14 min， 8%-17%A； 14-30 min， 17%A）， the detection wavelength was at 280 nm. The liposoluble components were extracted by n-hexane and identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry （GC-MS）， and the contents of five fatty acids， namely palmitic acid， oleic acid， stearic acid， linolic acid and α-linolenic acid， were determined on a DB-35MS capillary column （0.25 mm×60.0 m， 0.25 µm）， the injection temperature was 250 ℃， the carrier gas was high-purity helium with a flow rate of 1.0 mL·min^-1 and the splitting ratio of 50∶1. The volatile oil was extracted by steam distillation method and its components were identified by GC-MS on a WM-5MS capillary column （0.25 mm×30.0 m， 0.25 µm） with the injection temperature of 250 ℃， the flow rate of 1.0 mL·min^-1 and the splitting ratio of 10∶1. ResultPrunellae Spica seeds were slightly smaller than chia seeds and basil seeds， and their color of seed coat was obviously different. Prunellae Spica seeds had strong water absorption and swelling characteristics， and the turgidity was 17.4 mL·g^-1， which was lower than that of chia seeds （25.2 mL·g^-1） and basil seeds （35.6 mL·g^-1）. Prunellae Spica seeds were rich in phenolic and fatty acids， while the content of volatile oil was very low. The main phenolic acids were salviaflaside and rosmarinic acid， with the contents of 0.579% and 0.392%， respectively. The total content of five fatty acids in n-hexane extract was 90.1%， and total content of unsaturated fatty acids was 80.6%， among which content of α-linolenic acid was 50.0%， which was slightly lower than 57.2% of chia seeds and similar to 50.0% of basil seeds. ConclusionPrunellae Spica seeds have good turgidity， rich in phenolic acids and unsaturated fatty acids， and especially with high amount of α-linolenic acid. It is worthy of being developed as functional food to realize comprehensive utilization of the waste resources of Prunellae Spica.
