Objective:
: Baculovirus inhibitory of apoptosis repeat-containing 5 (BIRC5) is critically implicated in various types of tumors. However, the specific mechanisms by which it operates in glioma are yet to be fully understood.
Methods:
: The data sourced from The Cancer Genome Atlas and Gene Expression Omnibus were merged and analyzed using the R software to investigate the relationship between BIRC5 expression and prognosis and diagnosis outcomes. This exploration was conducted utilizing various biological information repositories. The correlation between BIRC5 and immunity was obtained based on TIMER and TISIDB databases.
Results:
: Gliomas displayed a markedly elevated level of BIRC5 expression compared to adjacent tissues. Patients with glioma who exhibit elevated levels of BIRC5 experience poorer prognoses and shorter survival times. Subgroup classification further revealed that heightened expression of BIRC5 led to diminished overall survival. Analysis of logistic regression and COX indicated that expression of BIRC5 serves as a risk factor in glioma development. Functional enrichment pathways showed that the 72 hub genes related to BIRC5 were mainly closely related to nuclear division, spindle, tubulin binding, and cell cycle in glioma patients. BBIRC5 methylation suggested that BIRC5 might influence the immune response regulation and the tumor microenvironment within gliomas. BIRC5 is associated with many chemicals. Additionally, studies conducted using cell experiments and pathological sections have consistently shown that BIRC5 expression is higher in tumor cells compared to normal cells and tissues.
Conclusion
: BIRC5 holds promise as a valuable tool in the diagnosis, prognosis, and management of gliomas.

Cleft lip and palate (CLP) are common congenital craniofacial developmental disorders with a high incidence rate among newborns. Due to the influence of the cleft, an increased frequency of anomalies occurs in cleft-adjacent teeth. This review summarizes the abnormality of tooth development and malposition characteristics of the central incisors, lateral incisors, and canines adjacent to the alveolar cleft in CLP patients and treatment progress in order to provide information for related clinical treatment and research. The literature reveals that central incisors, lateral incisors, and canines adjacent to the alveolar cleft exhibit various types and degrees of abnormalities. The alveolar cleft-adjacent central incisors show significantly smaller mesiodistal diameters, root lengths, and root volumes compared to the non-alveolar cleft side, while the crown-to-root ratio is larger. Further, they are inclined distally and lingually compared to the non-alveolar cleft side. The alveolar cleft-adjacent lateral incisor is the most common missing or impacted tooth and is often affected by microdontia. The total length and root length of the alveolar cleft-adjacent canines are significantly smaller, while the crown-to-root ratio is larger on the alveolar cleft side. In addition, they are inclined mesially and buccally compared to the non-alveolar cleft side. Further, they are higher positioned and located closer to the midline. For developmental anomalies, impacted central incisors can be addressed by orthodontic space preparation to facilitate eruption or surgical crown exposure and orthodontic traction. Treatment of missing lateral incisors can involve orthodontic closure of the gap or preservation of the space for subsequent prosthetic restoration. When lateral incisors present with developmental defects, such as microdontia, peg-shaped teeth, or invaginated teeth, a comprehensive decision is necessary to determine whether to retain and restore or extract the malformed lateral incisors. Treatment of impacted canines after bone grafting involves either extraction or traction to facilitate the eruption of the impacted tooth. For malposition, presurgical orthodontic treatment can correct teeth with excessive inclination or rotation on the cleft side to improve the effectiveness of bone grafting surgery. Postsurgical orthodontic treatment can enhance the stability of bone grafting surgery. Although numerous studies have explored the dental characteristics of patients with CLP, the lack of applicability and specificity still need to be elucidated, thus indicating the need for further research.

Objective:
To explore the long term trend of forced vital capacity to weight index (FWI) among Chinese Han students aged 7-18 from 2000 to 2019, and to predict its changes over the next decade, so as to provide scientific evidences for targeted health interventions and school health policies.
Methods:
Based on the data of the five Chinese National Surveys on Students Constitution and Health conducted from 2000 to 2019, a total of 216 500, 233 565, 215 267, 214 256 and 212 632 Han students aged 7-18 were included, respectively. The long term trend of FWI among students was analyzed, and the GM (1,1) grey model was used to predict FWI changes over the next decade. Subgroup analyses were conducted by sex, age, and urban-rural residence.
Results:
The FWI levels of Chinese Han students aged 7-18 were (55.30±11.47)(47.43±11.92)(48.11±12.46)(48.75±12.81)(50.93±13.11)mL/kg in 2000, 2005, 2010, 2014, and 2019, respectively. The FWI of Chinese Han students showed a decreasing then increasing trend from 2000 to 2019, reaching the lowest point of approximately 47.03 mL/kg around 2006, and was projected to recover to 52.88 mL/kg by 2029. Boys had higher FWI for each year and the total level than girls from 2000 to 2019( t =72.58-304.66), and the decline between 2000 and 2005 was smaller in boys (13.1%) than in girls (15.4%). However, the gender gap gradually narrowed and was projected to reduce to 5.36 mL/kg by 2029. FWI increased with age, with the largest difference observed in 2014 between the 7-9 and 16-18 age groups (8.62 mL/kg). Before 2014, urban boys had slightly lower FWI than rural boys; the gap narrowed thereafter, and their FWI levels were expected to become similar by 2029. Urban girls generally had higher FWI than rural girls, and the urban-rural gap showed an increasing trend. By 2029, the largest difference was projected to occur in the 13-15 age group, reaching 7.74 mL/kg.
Conclusions
The FWI of Chinese Han students showed a trend of initial decline followed by a gradual increase from 2000 to 2019, with notable differences across sex, age, and urban-rural residence. Greater attention should be paid to the respiratory health of rural girls, and effective measures should be taken to reduce urban-rural disparities.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of respiratory virus infections in Sichuan from 2017 to 2023, and investigate the changes in detection rates of various viruses in different periods and age groups.Methods:The study included 41 516 patients with acute respiratory infections. Clinical laboratory results of these patients were retrospectively collected to calculate the detection rates of various viruses. The epidemiological characteristics of respiratory virus infections before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic, the prevalence of mixed infections, and the detection rates in different seasons and age groups were analyzed.Results:The overall detection rate of respiratory viruses was 23.35% (9 696/41 516), with influenza A virus (8.47%, 3 515/41 516), rhinovirus (7.13%, 2 961/41 516), and influenza B virus (2.04%, 846/41 516) being the most prevalent. The highest detection rate was observed in children aged 0-14 years (48.62%, 1 429/2 939), while the detection rates in young, middle-aged, and elderly individuals were similar [21.00% (1 482/7 057), 22.06% (3 828/17 350), 20.33% (2 685/13 205)]. The detection rate of influenza A virus dropped to 1.35% (253/18 717) during the COVID-19 pandemic, and rebounded to 13.05% (1 560/11 953) after the pandemic. A similar pattern was observed in other viruses such as human metapneumovirus, influenza B virus, coronavirus, and respiratory syncytial virus, with significant reductions during the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent increases that even exceeded pre-pandemic levels. The detection rates of adenovirus, bocavirus, and rhinovirus gradually decreased over time, while the prevalence of parainfluenza virus remained stable, indicating a less significant impact of COVID-19 on these viruses. Higher detection rates were observed in autumn (28.90%, 2 324/8 041) and winter (26.52%, 4 093/15 433) as compared to that in spring (17.61%, 1 848/10 494) and summer (18.96%, 1 431/7 548), suggesting significant seasonal impacts on virus detection rates ( P<0.001). This study identified 8 666 cases of single-virus infections, 948 double infections, 77 triple infections, and five quadruple infections. Co-infection of bocavirus and rhinovirus was the most common type of double infections (17.41%, 165/948), and 59.60% (565/948) of double infections involved rhinovirus. Conclusions:The overall detection rate of respiratory viruses is higher in autumn and winter than in spring and summer. The prevalence of some respiratory viruses such as influenza viruses decreases during the COVID-19 pandemic. People of different ages can develop multiple infections with rhinovirus being the most common in double infections.
