Objective To explore a method for rapid and differential diagnosis of rejection after kidney transplantation through urine hyperspectral imaging technology. Methods Hyperspectral data information from urine samples of 118 recipients after kidney transplantation was collected, and a deep learning model was constructed to diagnose and classify the types of rejection. Results A deep learning diagnostic model based on the 34-layer residual network (ResNet-34) was constructed, and 118 patients were included and divided into the training set and the test set. Based on the pathological results of the transplanted kidney puncture, the urine samples of the patients were classified into five groups: the non-rejection group, the T-cell-mediated rejection group, the antibody-mediated rejection group, the mixed rejection group and the nephropathy recurrence group. The results showed that the diagnostic sensitivities of the model for the above five groups were 0.960, 0.980, 0.930, 0.940 and 0.943 respectively, and the diagnostic specificities were 0.983, 0.993, 0.997, 0.989 and 0.989 respectively. The overall diagnostic accuracy rate reached 95.7%. Conclusions The study provides a non-invasive, rapid and accurate auxiliary diagnostic method for the differential diagnosis of rejection after kidney transplantation.

Laboratory animal science is an emerging interdisciplinary field supporting life science and medical research, and a key component of talent cultivation and technological innovation in medical colleges. Currently, this field faces challenges such as a significant imbalance between talent supply and demand and a weak systematic training system. To respond to national strategies and societal needs, Shandong First Medical University established the School of Laboratory Animal through industry-education integration during the 14th Five-Year Plan period. The school is based on The Medical Laboratory Technology major, cultivates application-oriented, interdisciplinary professionals in laboratory animal science, and has constructed a three-in-one training system integrating "course learning–scientific research–industry practice". Specific measures for talent cultivation include: optimizing the general education, professional courses, and intensive practical modules in the talent training program, and establishing the "Yellow River Class" integrating industry and education; implementing an undergraduate mentor system, and conducting scientific research training based on The Model Animal Research and Development Engineering Laboratory; collaborating with bases across the entire industrial chain of laboratory animal production, research, application, and quality control, appointing industry mentors, and strengthening practical teaching. Practice has shown that this system has been remarkably effective: a total of 320 undergraduate students have been enrolled since 2020; the employment rate of undergraduate graduates for two consecutive cohorts has reached 100%, and the postgraduate enrollment rate has exceeded 50%; undergraduate students have won numerous national and provincial awards in academic competitions, and have obtained multiple patents and published papers. In the future, the school will further integrate the advantages of medicine, agriculture, and science, optimize the depth and breadth of courses, strengthen the construction of faculty and teaching materials, and improve the undergraduate-master's integrated training mechanism. This article can provide a reference for the training of professionals in laboratory animal science and related biomedical fields in medical colleges.

Objective To provide a scientific basis for vector prevention and control in port areas, vector monitoring has been conducted continuously to characterize the composition, density, and seasonal fluctuations of vectors across 21 port-areas of Shandong province from 2017 to 2023. Methods In accordance with the Regional Vector Monitoring Plan for Frontier Ports, vector surveillance of mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches, rodents, and other disease vectors was performed. Data were analyzed to describe vector community composition and identify seasonal fluctuations. Results A total of 601 rodents belonging to 1 family, 4 genera, and 4 species were captured. Three dominant rodent species inhabit port areas. In addition, 88 104 mosquitoes were captured and classified into 3 subfamilies, 4 genera, and 12 species; 38 959 flies were trapped and classified into 8 families,31 genera, and 51 species, including 9 dominant fly species in port-areas; and 54 672 captured cockroaches were classified into 2 families,4 genera, and 4 species, with Blattella germanica as the dominant species. Conclusions Significant vector community changes(P<0.005)have been identified after the epidemic. To improve the pertinence and efficacy of port health quarantine work, continuous and strong attention should be paid to vector compositions and population densities at Shandong ports.

Objective To understand the epidemiological characteristics of a clustered outbreak of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome(SFTS)as well as the ecological tick monitoring results for Zibo City, and to provide a scientific basis for formulating prevention and control strategies. Methods A case definition was cited before epidemic investigations were performed. Epidemiological investigations were performed on the index cases and their close contacts. Blood samples were collected from cases and close contacts, and quantitative real-time RT-PCR was used to detect SFTS virus(SFTSV)nucleic acid sequences. A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze risk factors and develop prevention and control strategies. Results This clustered outbreak involved two index cases and six close contacts with no deaths. Case A exhibited symptom onset on July 26. SFTS was confirmed on August 2. Case B exhibited symptom onset on August 1, and SFTS was confirmed on August 3. Patient B reported a recent history of tick bites. In both index cases, the incubation period for SFTS was inferred to be 7-12 days. The time interval from symptom onset to clinical diagnosis in the two cases ranged from 2-8 days, with an average period of 5 days. SFTSV nucleic acid test result were positive for both patients, whereas all six close contacts tested negative. All captured ticks tested negative for SFTSV using quantitative real-time RT-PCR. The densities of parasitic and free-living ticks in the emergency monitoring area around the cases were 12.60 and 4.65 ticks/(flag·100 m). In 2024, the average parasitic tick index and free-living tick density index were 4.21 and 2.43 ticks/(flag ·100 m)in Yiyuan County, respectively. Conclusions No evidence of human-to-human transmission was found in the assessed SFTS clusters. The infections were likely acquired through tick bites during fieldwork, and the risk of a subsequent outbreak spreading was low.

Objective To investigate the capacity of municipal and county-level Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Shandong Province for γ radionuclides in food as well as gross α and gross β in drinking water, and to provide evidence for strengthening radiological laboratories. Method Data regarding radioactive detection capacity were collected from 16 prefecture-level cities and 136 county-level CDCs. Chi-square test and Fisher's exact tests were used to compare capacity differences across regions and between cities with and without nuclear power plants. Correlation analysis was used to evaluate the spatial equity of gross α and gross β detection capacity for drinking water. Result The detection capacity of gross α and gross β in drinking water varied significantly among counties (χ2=81.026, P<0.001),no significant difference was found between coastal and inland cities (χ2=2.021,P>0.155); Cities with nuclear power plants showed better detection capacity (χ2=20.253,P<0.01). The detection capacity for γ radionuclides in food was primarily concentrated in the prefecture-level cities that host nuclear power plants. Conclusion The overall detection capacity for radioactivity in drinking water was acceptable but spatially uneven. The capacity for monitoring radioactive contamination in food was generally weak. It is necessary to strengthen capacity building at the grassroots level.

Lung cancer constitutes the most prevalent and lethal malignant tumor in China. Approximately 85% of lung cancer diagnoses correspond to the non-small cell histological subtype [non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)]. Despite surgery being the mainstay for early-stage disease, postoperative recurrence remains high and adjuvant chemotherapy offers limited benefit. In recent years, targeted therapy has demonstrated substantial advantages in driver mutation-positive NSCLC. To this end, the Lung Cancer Medical Education Committee of the Chinese Medical Education Association developed guidelines based on a systematic review of evidence through November 2025, using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) approach and a modified Delphi method. Focusing on epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), and addressing ROS proto-oncogene 1 (ROS1), B-Raf proto-oncogene serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) V600E mutation, and mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET) exon 14 (METex14) skipping, the guideline covers molecular testing, neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy, perioperative strategies, minimal residual disease monitoring, and postoperative surveillance. It defines testing requirements, specifies stage-directed and subtype-specific treatments, and standardizes minimal residual disease monitoring. These recommendations emphasize precision and feasibility to improve survival and quality of life.

To explore the predictive value of carotid corrected flow time (FTc) and velocity time integral (VTI) for post-induction hypotension (PIH) in elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal tumor surgery. Elderly patients scheduled for elective gastrointestinal tumor surgery at Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital Affiliated to Qingdao University, from October 2024 to March 2025, with an American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) anesthesia classification of Ⅰ-Ⅲ were selected as the study subjects. Before anesthesia induction, carotid FTc and VTI were measured using ultrasound in all patients. According to whether hypotension occurred after anesthesia induction, the patients were divided into a hypotension group and a non-hypotension group. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of FTc and VTI, and their combination for PIH. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to screen the influencing factors of PIH. A total of elderly 115 patients were included in this study. After excluding 2 patients with unclear carotid spectra, 2 patients with canceled surgeries, and 3 patients with multiple systolic blood pressure(SBP) measurements exceeding 180 mm Hg(1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa) after entering the operating room, 108 patients were finally included. Among them, 43 patients (39.8%) developed hypotension after anesthesia induction (hypotension group), and 65 patients (60.2%) did not develop hypotension (non-hypotension group). The proportions of patients with higher SBP, mean arterial pressure (MAP), ASA classification of Ⅲ, and concurrent hypertension in the hypotension group were all higher than those in the non-hypotension group. The FTc in the hypotension group was shorter, and the VTI was lower than those in the non-hypotension group, with statistically significant differences (all Both carotid FTc and VTI can predict the occurrence of PIH in elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal tumor surgery, but the predictive efficacy of FTc is higher than that of VTI. The combined application of FTc and VTI has a higher predictive efficacy for the occurrence of PIH in elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal tumor surgery than FTc or VTI alone.

BACKGROUND:
The optimal antidepressant dosages remain controversial. This study aimed to analyze the efficacy of antidepressants and characterize their dose-response relationships in the treatments of major depressive disorders (MDD).
METHODS:
We searched multiple databases, including the Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PubMed, and Web of Science, for the studies that were conducted between January 8, 2016, and April 30, 2023. The studies are double-blinded, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving the adults (≥18 years) with MDD. The primary outcomes were efficacy of antidepressant and the dose-response relationships. A frequentist network meta-analysis was conducted, treating participants with various dosages of the same antidepressant as a single therapy. We also implemented the model-based meta-analysis (MBMA) using a Bayesian method to explore the dose-response relationships.
RESULTS:
The network meta-analysis comprised 135,180 participants from 602 studies. All the antidepressants were more effective than the placebo; toludesvenlafaxine had the highest odds ratio (OR) of 4.52 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.65-7.72), and reboxetine had the lowest OR of 1.34 (95%CI: 1.14-1.57). Moreover, amitriptyline, clomipramine, and reboxetine showed a linear increase in effect size from low to high doses. The effect size of toludesvenlafaxine increased significantly up to 80 mg/day and subsequently maintained the maximal dose up to 160 mg/day while the predictive curves of nefazodone were fairly flat in different dosages.
CONCLUSIONS:
Although most antidepressants were more efficacious than placebo in treating MDD, no consistent dose-response relationship between any antidepressants was observed. For most antidepressants, the maximum efficacy was achieved at lower or middle prescribed doses, rather than at the upper limit.
