ObjectiveTo analyze the temporal trend of knockdown resistance (kdr) gene mutations highly correlated with pyrethroid resistance in field populations of Aedes aegypti in Jinghong City of Yunnan Province, and to provide a scientific basis for formulating rational insecticide use strategies. MethodsAdult mosquito samples of Aedes aegypti from 2016 to 2023 and larvae mosquito samples from July 2022 to June 2023 were collected in Jinghong City of Yunnan Province. Allele specific PCR (AS-PCR) was used to measure kdr mutations at amino acid positions 989, 1016 and 1534 of the voltage-gated sodium ion channel (VGSC) gene. Data such as mutation rate and mutation allele frequency were calculated, SPSS software was used to perform trend chi square tests on mutation rate and mutation allele frequency with year and month, as well as comparison of mutation allele frequencies and genotype distributions between the dry and rainy seasons, thereby delineating the temporal trend of kdr gene mutations. ResultsAmong the 173 samples collected from 2016 to 2023, the mutation rates of S989P and V1016G were 100.00% for each year, while the mutation rate of F1534C ranged from 62.50% to 100.00%. The mutation rate and mutation allele frequency of F1534C were increased over the years (χ2=22.079, P<0.001; χ2=42.971, P<0.001). Concurrently, the proportion of the PPGGCC genotype was increased annually (χ2=60.790, P<0.001). Among the 288 samples collected from July 2022 to June 2023, the monthly mutation rates for S989P, V1016G, and F1534C were consistently 100.00%. There was only one type of mutation present, namely S989P+V1016G+F1534C. In the combinations of the three genotypes, the SPGGCC genotype accounted for 1.39% (4/288), the PPGGFC accounted for 2.78% (8/288), and the PPGGCC had the highest proportion at 95.83% (276/288). After tesiting the samples collected in August 2023, the mutation rates of 989, 1016 and 1534 sites of VGSC in females, males, and larvae of the same generation were all 100.00%. ConclusionSince 2016, the gene mutations at S989P and V1016G loci in the VGSC gene of wild Aedes aegypti in Jinghong City have remained consistently at 100.00%, while the mutation rate and mutant allele frequency of F1534C have increased year by year during the testing period. By 2023, the mutation rates at three loci in the VGSC gene of Aedes aegypti in Jinghong City had all reached 100.00%, and neither changes in insect developmental stage nor gender differences during transmission exerted a detectable impact on the mutation rates. In the control of Aedes aegypti in Jinghong City, the use of pyrethroid insecticides should be stopped or reduced, and regular monitoring of kdr genes should be carried out to promptly detect new mutations.

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors of the quality of inpatient medical record home page information in public hospitals under the background of the reform of diagnosis related groups(DRG)-based payment system and their mechanisms of action, so as to provide references for continuous improvement of the quality of medical record home page information.Methods:From July to August 2024, semi-structured interviews were conducted with clinical physicians and personnel engaged in the filling, quality control, review, and management of inpatient medical record home pages in public hospitals in Hangzhou, using purposeful sampling. The interview data were qualitatively analyzed based on the grounded theory to identify the influencing factors of the quality of medical record home page information and construct a theoretical model of the mechanisms of action of these factors.Results:Through open coding of the 17 interview materials, 53 initial concepts and 13 categories were identified. Further induction through axial coding led to the extraction of four main categories: external environment, organizational resources, person-job fit, and work ecology. The theoretical model of the mechanisms of action of the influencing factors on the quality of medical record home page information was as follows: external environmental factors such as policies and regulations played a macroscopic guiding role in the quality of medical record home pages; organizational resource factors such as the hospital′s information construction played a mesoscopic regulating role in the quality of medical record home pages; person-job fit factors such as the professional skills of clinical physicians and medical record-related staff played a direct driving role in the quality of medical record home pages; and work ecology factors such as the workload of clinical physicians and medical record-related staff played an external modulating role in the quality of medical record home pages.Conclusions:Under the background of DRG reform, the quality of inpatient medical record home page information was influenced by multiple factors. To systematically improve the quality of medical record home page information, it is necessary for multiple parties to work together. Relevant government departments should improve the top-level design and optimize the external environment, guide and assist medical institutions in building quality control systems, and strengthen resource allocation. Medical institutions should focus on enhancing the job competence and person-job fit of relevant personnel and also use intelligent means to optimize work processes to reduce workload.

Background::Atopic dermatitis (AD) affects approximately 10% of adults worldwide. CM310 is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin-4 receptor alpha that blocks interleukin-4 and interleukin-13 signaling. This trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CM310 in Chinese adults with moderate-to-severe AD.Methods::This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2b trial was conducted in 21 medical institutions in China from February to November 2021. Totally 120 eligible patients were enrolled and randomized (1:1:1) to receive subcutaneous injections of 300 mg CM310, 150 mg CM310, or placebo every 2 weeks for 16 weeks, followed by an 8-week follow-up period. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients achieving ≥75% improvement in the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI-75) score from baseline at week 16. Safety and pharmacodynamics were also studied.Results::At week 16, the proportion of EASI-75 responders from baseline was significantly higher in the CM310 groups (70% [28/40] for high-dose and 65% [26/40] for low-dose) than that in the placebo group (20%[8/40]). The differences in EASI-75 response rate were 50% (high vs. placebo, 95% CI 31%–69%) and 45% (low vs. placebo, 95% CI 26%–64%), with both P values <0.0001. CM310 at both doses also significantly improved the EASI score, Investigator’s Global Assessment score, daily peak pruritus Numerical Rating Scale, AD-affected body surface area, and Dermatology Life Quality Index compared with placebo. CM310 treatment reduced levels of thymus and activation-regulated chemokine, total immunoglobulin E, lactate dehydrogenase, and blood eosinophils. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) was similar among all three groups, with the most common TEAEs reported being upper respiratory tract infection, atopic dermatitis, hyperlipidemia, and hyperuricemia. No severe adverse events were deemed to be attributed to CM310. Conclusion::CM310 at 150 mg and 300 mg every 2 weeks demonstrated significant efficacy and was well-tolerated in adults with moderate-to-severe AD.Trial Registration::ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04805411.

After the promulgation and implementation of the Vaccine Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China, the compensation of suspected adverse reactions in China is to be reformed and innovated. There have been attempts at compensation through government finance and insurance, but there has been no precedent for a fund of vaccine-related compensation in China, which means that this could be a new method of solving disputes of compensation for vaccine-related incidences and enhancing public confidence in vaccination. It is suggested that under the current system, we can select a province as a pilot to explore the fund compensation mechanism. The fund comes from special financial allocation, special taxation of vaccine enterprises, fund investment income, charitable donation and other channels. Through a special fund management organization, the independent identification and compensation process can be realized, so as to shorten the current compensation procedure, improve the amount of compensation, ultimately protect the interests of all parties, and promote the steady development of vaccination.

Objective:
To investigate the safety and feasibility of proximal partial gastrectomy with Cheng's Giraffe esophagogastric reconstruction for the treatment of early Siewert II adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEG).
Methods:
Indication of Cheng's Giraffe esophagogastric reconstruction: (1) Siewert II AEG or Siewert III AEG with diameter < 4 cm; (2) preoperative staging as cT1-2N0M0. A descriptive case series study was carried out. Clinical data of 34 patients with Siewert II AEG undergoing proximal partial gastrectomy and Cheng's Giraffe esophagogastric reconstruction at Department of Abdominal Surgery of Zhejiang Cancer Hospital and Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from February to July 2018 were retrospectively collected and analyzed, including 14 cases in IA stage, 11 cases in IIA stage and 8 cases in IIB stage. Brief procedure of Cheng's Giraffe esophagogastric reconstruction was as follows: Firstly, 12 cm long tubular stomach was formed by longitudinal incision 4 cm away from the great curvature of the stomach. Secondly, the gastric fundus and His angle were formed. Finally, the distance from His angle to esophagal-tubular gastric anastomosis should be more than 5 cm. The reflux disease questionare (RDQ) scores, radionuclide gastric emptying scintigraphy, and 24-hour multichannel intraluminal (MII)-pH monitoring technology were used to evaluate postoperative gastric emptying and gastroesophageal reflux.
Result:
All 34 patients successfully completed proximal partial gastrectomy with Cheng's Giraffe esophagogastric reconstruction, including 13 cases by open surgery and 21 cases by laparoscopic surgery. The operation time was (144.6±39.8) minutes, the blood loss during operation was (35.4±17.2) ml. No laparoscopic case was converted to open surgery and no postoperative complication was observed. The postoperative hospital stay was (8.4±2.5) days. The postoperative RDQ score was 4.4±3.1 one month after operation, and 3.3±2.5 six months after operation. Gastric-half emptying time was (67.0±21.5) minutes, and the residual ratio was (52.2±7.7)% in 1 hour, (36.4±3.1)% in 2 hours and (28.8±3.6)% in 3 hours at postoperative 1-month. The 24-hour MII-pH monitoring at postoperative 2-month revealed the frequency of acid reflux was (12.6±7.9) times, frequency of non-acid reflux was (19.6±9.7) times, DeMeester score was 5.8±2.9.
Conclusion
Cheng's Giraffe esophagogastric reconstruction is safe and feasible in the treatment of Siewert type II AEG, and has good dynamic and anti-reflux effects.

Purpose To compare the mammography and ultrasound imaging features of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and non-triple-negative breast cancer (NTNBC), and to improve TNBC diagnosis. Materials and Methods Using immunohistochemical staining technique, 387 patients with pathologically conifrmed breast cancer were divided into TNBC group (n=54) and NTNBC group (n=333). Mammography and ultrasound ifndings as well as pathological data were retrospectively reviewed. Results TNBC was associated with higher tumor grades. There were signiifcantly more grade III inifltrating ductal carcinomas and axillary lymph node involvement in TNBC group than in NTNBC group (χ2=47.009, P<0.001;χ2=4.658, P<0.05). On mammography, TNBC most frequently presented with a mass (n=37, 69.8%) and was less associated with microcalciifcations (n=10, 18.9%). TNBC masses were mostly round or oval (n=28, 62.2%) with circumscribed margin (n=16, 35.6%). Spiculated margins were rare (n=5, 11.1%). NTNBC most frequently presented as a mass with calciifcations (n=138, 42.1%), and was more irregular in shape (n=119, 46.5%). Spiculated margins were common (n=77, 30.1%). There was statistically signiifcant difference between these two groups in mass, microcalcification, shape and margin (χ2=24.618, 19.889, 32.605 and 21.102, P<0.001). On ultrasonograhy, TNBC most frequently presented as a mass (n=52, 96.3%) with less microcalciifcations (n=5, 9.3%). TNBC masses were more frequently round or oval (n=27, 51.9%) with circumscribed margins (n=25, 48.1%). Spiculated margins were rare (n=3, 5.8%). TNBC was less likely to show attenuating posterior echoes (n=5, 9.6%);NTNBC most frequently presented as a mass (n=318, 96.1%) with microcalcifications (n=135, 40.8%). NTNBC masses were more frequently irregular in shape (n=243, 76.4%) with spiculated margins (n=76, 23.9%). NTNBC was more likely to show attenuating posterior echoes (n=78, 24.5%). There was statistically signiifcant difference between these two groups in microcalciifcation, shape, margin and posterior echo (χ2=19.006 and 18.339, P<0.001;χ2=16.170 and 8.429, P<0.05). Conclusion TNBC demonstrates round or oval mass with circumscribed margin and is less likely to show attenuating posterior echoes on mammography and ultrasound with benign imaging features. NTNBC frequently presents as irregular mass with spiculated margin, and is more associated with microcalciifcations. These imaging ifndings are useful in early diagnosis of TNBC.
