To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of extracranial malignant rhabdoid tumor (eMRT) in children, and to provide a reference for the clinical treatment of this disease.

With the accelerating trend of population aging, the number of elderly patients with lung cancer continues to rise, and the disease burden is becoming increasingly heavy. The clinical management of these patients faces severe challenges due to their decreased physiological reserve, complex comorbidities, and significant individual heterogeneity. Consequently, under traditional diagnosis and treatment models, doctors often struggle to identify the individualized risks of elderly patients in a timely and comprehensive manner, which can easily lead to decision biases such as undertreatment or overtreatment. In view of this, this study advocates for the establishment of an umbrella decision-making model specifically tailored for elderly lung cancer patients. Grounded in a multidisciplinary team (MDT) platform, this model deeply integrates oncological indicators with the comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) system. By holistically considering multidimensional variables including tumor burden, organ function, frailty index, cognitive status, and social support, the model establishes an operational mechanism characterized by "single entry, precise stratification, and targeted selection". Accordingly, patients can be scientifically triaged into distinct intervention tiers, such as active surveillance, minimally invasive surgery, drug therapy, radiotherapy, and best supportive care, thereby achieving real-time alignment between treatment intensity and patient fitness. This article elaborates on the construction logic and key operational procedures of this novel decision-making framework, aiming to guide clinical practice beyond the limitations of a tumor-centric perspective toward a holistic, dynamic, whole-course management strategy. This transition seeks to ensure optimal quality of life and clinical net benefit for elderly patients alongside survival prolongation.

BackgroundSuicide and self-injury risk in patients with depression disorder is associated with pain symptoms， but the relationships between specific pain types and their severity and distinct self-injury/suicide risk phenotypes remain controversial. ObjectiveTo explore whether somatic pain can reflect different self-injury/suicide risk phenotypes， and to provide references for the clinical identification of suicide and self-injury risk in patients with depression. MethodsBased on data from the National Survey on Symptomatology of Depression （NSSD）， 3 275 patients who met the diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders， fourth edition， text revision （DSM-IV-TR） were recruited. According to previous suicidal behavior， suicidal ideation and self-injury behavior in the past two weeks， patients were divided into the no self-injury/suicide risk group， self-injury group， and high suicide-risk group. The occurrence of headache， muscle soreness， trunk pain， limb pain， and other pain symptoms was assessed using the structured symptom assessment instrument of the NSSD. With the no self-injury/suicide risk group as the reference， an ordinal Logistic regression model was used to analyze the associations between the risk groups and the occurrence frequency of pain， with demographic and clinical characteristics entered into the model as covariates for adjustment. ResultsA total of 3 211 patients （98.05%） were included in the analysis， including 1 329 cases （41.39%） in the no self-injury/suicide risk group， 415 cases （12.92%） in the self-injury group， and 1 467 cases （45.69%） in the high suicide-risk group. Compared with the no self-injury/suicide risk group， the occurrence frequencies of headache （OR=1.526， 95% CI： 1.221–1.894） and muscle soreness （OR=1.287， 95% CI： 1.034–1.597） were higher in the self-injury group， and the occurrence frequencies of headache （OR=0.583， 95% CI： 0.504–0.672）， muscle soreness （OR=0.682， 95% CI： 0.597–0.780）， trunk pain （OR=0.557， 95% CI： 0.475–0.634）， limb pain （OR=0.454， 95% CI： 0.384–0.522）， and other pain difficult to localize （OR=0.542， 95% CI： 0.472–0.631） were all lower in the high suicide-risk group. ConclusionPatients with depression disorder across different self-injury and suicide risk phenotypes exhibit distinct pain characteristics， and these differences may provide a reference for the clinical identification of suicide and self-injury risk in patients with depression disorder. ［Funded by The National Key Research and Development Program of China during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period （number， 2016YFC1307100）； Shanghai Key Clinical Specialties Construction Project］

Objective To understand the distribution, species composition, seasonal fluctuations, and presence of Dabie bandavirus in ticks in Tai'an City, providing a basis for assessing tick-borne disease risks and formulating prevention strategies. Methods Free-living ticks were monitored using the flagging method, whereas parasitic ticks were monitored through host surface examination. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the presence of Bandavirus dabieense in tick specimens. Results The density of free-living ticks in Tai'an City showed a continuous decreasing trend over the 3 years from 2021 to 2023, with an average tick density of 0.43 ticks/(flag·100 m). The dominant habitats were scenic areas and forests, and the seasonal fluctuations exhibited a bimodal pattern, peaking in March and August. The only free-living tick species captured was Haemaphysalis longicornis. Over the 3 years, the average tick index for parasitic ticks was 1.85, with sheep as the primary host. Seasonal fluctuations also followed a bimodal pattern, peaking in March and August. The primary parasitic tick species captured were H. longicornis and Rhipicephalus sanguineus. No Dabie bandavirus was detected in the tick specimens. Conclusions Tick density in Tai'an City remains relatively high, necessitating continued efforts to enhance tick surveillance and implement targeted prevention measures in rural environments to further reduce the health risks posed by tick-borne diseases.

After continuous development and improvement, lung transplantation has become the preferred means to treat a variety of benign end-stage lung diseases. However, the field of lung transplantation still faces many challenges, including shortage of donor resources, preservation and maintenance of donor lungs, and postoperative complications. Lung tissue samples removed after lung transplantation are excellent clinical resources for the study of benign end-stage lung disease and perioperative complications of lung transplantation. However, at present, the collection, storage and utilization of tissue samples after lung transplantation are limited to a single study, and unified technical specifications have not been formed. Based on the construction plan of the biobank for lung transplantation in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, this study reviewed the practical experience in the collection, storage and utilization of lung transplant tissue samples in the aspects of ethical review, staffing, collection process, storage method, quality control and efficient utilization, in order to provide references for lung transplant related research.

Objective To investigate the fatigue and workload status among medical students,and to explore the latent profiles of fatigue and workload and their effects on sleep and emotion.Methods A cross-sectional study design with convenience sampling was employed to distribute a comprehensive survey via mixed online and offline modes,and medical college students were enrolled as the subjects for this investigation.The general demographic data,depression,anxiety and stress scale,Pittsburgh sleep quality index,Epworth sleepiness scale,insomnia severity index,National Aeronautics and Space Administration task load index(NASA-TLX)and fatigue scale-14(FS-14)were used to investigate the basic information of the medical students,their emotions(depression,anxiety and stress),sleep(sleep quality,sleepiness and insomnia),workload and fatigue status.Based on latent profile analysis,the types of workload-fatigue profiles and differences in sleep and emotion were analyzed.Results A total of 485 medical students were enrolled,with an average age of(22.07±2.42)years.The total score of the NASA-TLX was 64.44±12.50,and the total score of the FS-14 was 7.90±3.63.Latent profile analysis identified 3 distinct workload-fatigue profiles:low workload-medium fatigue group(12.8％),medium workload-low fatigue group(32.8％),and high workload-high fatigue group(54.4％).Among these,the medium workload-low fatigue group exhibited the highest performance level(all P＜0.05),while the low workload-medium fatigue group showed the lowest effort level and performance level(all P＜0.05).The high workload-high fatigue group showed the highest task-related demand and frustration level(all P＜0.05).Regarding sleep and emotional status,the medium workload-low fatigue group had significantly better outcomes compared to the high workload-high fatigue group and the low workload-medium fatigue group(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Medical students experience a heavy workload and subjective fatigue.It is essential to appropriately adjust their workload,prioritize sleep and emotional well-being,and alleviate fatigue levels,so as to sustain personal physical and mental health.

Objective:To explore the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the cognition and ability in the activities of daily living (ADL) of persons with cerebral small vessel disease.Methods:A total of 71 patients with cognitive impairment due to cerebral small vessel disease were randomly divided into a control group ( n=35) and a treatment group ( n=36). The treatment group was further divided into a group with mild cognitive impairment (a score of 21 to 26 on the mini-mental state exam, n=23) and a moderate cognitive impairment group (scoring 10 to 20, n=13). The treatment groups received 10Hz rTMS, while the control group received sham rTMS. Before and after 90 days of treatment, all were assessed using the mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and the cognitive subscale of the vascular dementia assessment scale (VaDAS-cog). Ability in the activities of daily living was quantified using the Barthel Index (BI). Results:After treatment, significantly increased MMSE and BI scores, but significantly decreased VaDAS-cog scores were observed in both groups. At that point the treatment group showed a significantly higher average post-treatment MMSE score (25.61±2.94) and BI score (80.00±7.85), but a significantly lower average VaDAS-cog score (44.06±3.41) than the control group. The average MMSE scores were not significantly different between the mild and moderate cognitive impairment subgroups. No severe adverse reactions were observed during the rTMS treatment.Conclusions:The 10Hz rTMS can effectively improve the cognition and daily living ability of persons with cerebral small vessel disease.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of shockwave therapy,acupuncture,hyperthermia,biofeedback therapy,elec-trical nerve stimulation,magnetotherapy and ultrasound therapy in the treatment of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome(CP/CPPS),and to provide evidence-based support for clinical decision-making.Methods:Two researchers independently searched PubMed,Web of Science,Embase,Cochrane Library,CNKI,Wanfang,VIP and Chinese Biomedical Literature databases for randomized controlled trials(RCTs)on the effects of different interventions on CP/CPPS from the establishment of the databases to August 2024.We evaluated the quality of the included literature and extracted the relevant data according to the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions,followed by network meta-analysis using Revman 5.3,R 4.33 and Stata17 software.Results:A total of 25 RCTs involving 1 794 cases were included.The results of network meta-analysis showed that electrical nerve stimulation,shockwave therapy,biofeedback therapy,magnetotherapy,ultrasound therapy and acupuncture were significantly superior to conventional medication and placebo in the total NIH-CPSI scores(P＜0.05),and so were electrical nerve stimulation and shock-wave therapy to acupuncture and hyperthermia(P＜0.05),magnetic therapy to hyperthermia,and ultrasound therapy to placebo(P＜0.05).Shockwave therapy,biofeedback therapy,electrical nerve stimulation,magnetotherapy and ultrasound therapy achieved re-markably better clinical efficacy than conventional medication and placebo in the treatment of CP/CPPS,and so did shockwave therapy than electrical nerve stimulation,hyperthermia,ultrasonic therapy,magnetotherapy and acupuncture.Conclusion:For the treat-ment of CP/CPPS,electrical nerve stimulation is advantageous over the other interventions in improving total NIH-CPSI scores,and shockwave therapy is advantageous in relieving pain symptoms and clinical efficacy.This conclusion,however,needs to be further veri-fied by more high-quality clinical studies.

Objective To summarize the changing prevalence of carbapenem resistance in Enterobacterales based on the data of CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program from 2015 to 2021 for improving antimicrobial treatment in clinical practice.Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using a commercial automated susceptibility testing system according to the unified CHINET protocol.The results were interpreted according to the breakpoints of the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)M100 31st ed in 2021.Results Over the seven-year period(2015-2021),the overall prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales(CRE)was 9.43％(62 342/661 235).The prevalence of CRE strains in Klebsiella pneumoniae,Citrobacter freundii,and Enterobacter cloacae was 22.38％,9.73％,and 8.47％,respectively.The prevalence of CRE strains in Escherichia coli was 1.99％.A few CRE strains were also identified in Salmonella and Shigella.The CRE strains were mainly isolated from respiratory specimens(44.23±2.80)％,followed by blood(20.88±3.40)％and urine(18.40±3.45)％.Intensive care units(ICUs)were the major source of the CRE strains(27.43±5.20)％.CRE strains were resistant to all the β-lactam antibiotics tested and most non-β-lactam antimicrobial agents.The CRE strains were relatively susceptible to tigecycline and polymyxins with low resistance rates.Conclusions The prevalence of CRE strains was increasing from 2015 to 2021.CRE strains were highly resistant to most of the antibacterial drugs used in clinical practice.Clinicians should prescribe antimicrobial agents rationally.Hospitals should strengthen antibiotic stewardship in key clinical settings such as ICUs,and take effective infection control measures to curb CRE outbreak and epidemic in hospitals.

Objective To observe the value of deep learning(DL)reconstruction algorithm for improving imaging quality of accelerated T2WI of cervical tumors.Methods A total of 43 patients with suspected cervical tumors were prospectively enrolled.Cervical conventional T2WI and accelerated T2WI based on DL reconstruction(DL-T2WI)were acquired.The imaging quality was subjectively assessed by 2 physicians using a 4-point system,including overall image quality,artifact,noise,sharpness and lesion detectability scores,and then were compared between conventional T2WI and DL-T2WI.Results The acquisition of conventional T2WI took 116 s,while of DL-T2WI took 101 s.The inter-observer consistency of subjective evaluation results on the overall image quality,artifact,noise,sharpness and lesion detectability scores were all excellent(Kappa=0.851-0.969).No significant difference of subjective evaluation results on overall image quality nor lesion detectability scores was found between conventional T 2WI and DL-T2WI(both P＞0.05),while the artifact and sharpness scores of DL-T2WI were significantly higher but the noise score was significantly lower than those of conventional T2WI(all P＜0.05).Conclusion DL reconstruction algorithm was helpful for improving imaging quality of accelerated T 2WI of cervical tumors.
