Objective: To understand the epidemiological characteristics and disease burden of influenza like illness (ILI) among student populations, so as to provide data support for policy formulation and optimal allocation of health resources. Methods: From January 2024 to February 2025, a questionnaire survey was conducted among parents of kindergarten, primary school, junior and senior high school students in 9 districts of Shenzhen, including Longhua, Futian, Bao an, Longgang, Luohu, Nanshan, Guangming, Pingshan and Yantian. Parents were asked to complete the questionnaire based on whether their children had fever, cough, vomiting, diarrhea, rash and other common symptoms in 2024. A total of 3 537 parents were investigated, and 444 ILI cases were included as study subjects. The epidemiological burden, including incidence rate of influenza, visitation rate, years lived with disability (YLDs) and economic burden (including direct economic burden, indirect economic burden and intangible burden) were analyzed. Results: The incidence rate of influenza among students in Shenzhen in 2024 was 12.55%. The ILI incidence rates in kindergarten, primary school, junior and senior high school were 14.01%, 11.69% and 5.23%, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( χ 2= 45.20, P <0.01). The ILI consultation rate among students was 85.36%, and the consultation rates in kindergarten (87.36%) and primary school students (84.62%) were higher than those in junior and senior high school students ( 56.52 %) ( χ 2=16.47, P <0.01). A total of 78.88% of cases did not receive etiological detection.The median total economic burden per ILI case was 2 354.62 yuan, including direct medical costs of 300.00 yuan, direct non medical costs of 212.50 yuan, indirect costs of 1 000.00 yuan, and intangible burden of 500.00 yuan. Conclusions Schools are high risk environment for influenza, and younger students are a high risk group for ILI. The disease burden caused by student ILI remains substantial.

Objective To explore the feasibility of magnetic compression technique (MCR) in the treatment of severe single mid-ureteral stricture in a rabbit model. Methods After 10 female New Zealand rabbits were selected, the distal end of the right ureter was ligated with silk thread. Two weeks after the operation, when the right ureter was dilated, the mid-ureter was ligated again with silk thread to create a severe single mid-ureteral stricture animal model. Longitudinal incisions were made at the upper and lower ends of the ligation site, and cylindrical NdFeB magnets with central holes (sub-magnets and main magnets) were placed to anastomose and recanalize the mid-ureteral stricture. The magnets were adjusted to the appropriate position to automatically align and attract each other. The longitudinal incision sites of the ureter were sutured with 6-0 Prolene thread, and the abdominal cavity was closed layer by layer. The operation time was recorded. X-ray films were taken every two days to confirm the position of the magnets and record the time of magnet detachment. Three weeks after the operation, the anastomotic specimens were obtained, and the formation of the anastomosis was evaluated with gross observation and histological staining. Results Two weeks after ligation, all experimental rabbits showed obvious dilation of the right ureter. The mid-ureteral ligation and placement of the male and female magnets were successfully completed in all 10 experimental rabbits, with an operation time of (24.00±5.15)minutes. The male and female magnets attracted each other well. X-ray examination showed that the magnets detached and entered the distal ureter (14.0±1.9) days after magnetic compression. The recanalization of the severe single mid-ureteral stricture was successfully achieved. The gross specimens and histological examination of the anastomosis showed that the anastomosis remained patent and the mucosal healing was good. All experimental rabbits survived well after the operation without serious complications. Conclusion MCT provides a new idea and novel method for the treatment of mid-ureteral stricture. This study confirmed the feasibility of this technique in treating severe single mid-ureteral stricture in a rabbit model. The operation is relatively simple and has potential for clinical application.

An 85-year-old male patient received immunotherapy with toripalimab (240 mg by intravenous infusion on day 1, 21 days as one treatment cycle). After one week of the first medication, the patient experienced fatigue, poor appetite, weight loss, gradually developed mild ptosis of the right eyelid, shortness of breath and palpitations after activity, which were progressively aggravated. The patient also developed unclear speech, choking on water, and difficulty breathing. Laboratory tests showed alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 93 U/L, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 171 U/L, creatine kinase (CK) 2 982 U/L, creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB) 110 U/L, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) 603 U/L, and high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-cTnT) 243 ng/L. All indicators of thyroid function were abnormal. Based on results of the laboratory tests, neurophysiological examination, and electrocardiogram examination, combined with the patient′s clinical symptoms, immune-mediated hepatitis of grade 2, immune-mediated myocarditis of grade 3, myasthenia gravis of grade 3, immune-mediated myositis of grade 2, and thyroid dysfunction of grade 1 were diagnosed, which was considered to be induced by toripalimab. Toripalimab was stopped. After treatments with glucocorticoids, liver-protective drugs, and symptomatic treatments, above-mentioned indicators showed a downward trend. After 27 days of treatments, the patient′s clinical symptoms were improved significantly. Laboratory tests showed ALT 123 U/L, AST 68 U/L, CK 116 U/L, CK-MB 42 U/L, LDH 305 U/L. The thyroid function indicators were all normal. After 57 days of treatments, above symptoms in the patient basically disappeared, and laboratory indicators tended to be normal.

Objective To explore the mechanism of the intervention effect of Qizhu Xiaozheng Fang(QZXZF),a representative prescription of Yiqi Jianpi Jiedu(replenishing qi,strengthening spleen,and removing toxicity),in treating HBx-mediated liver cancer stem cells(LCSCs).Methods The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to investigate the effects of Yiqi Jianpi Jiedu on the prognosis of patients with HBV-HCC.The network pharmacology method was utilized to predict the targets and pathways of QZXZF in treating HBx-related LCSCs(HBx-LCSCs).HBx-LCSCs cells were screened by stably transfecting HBx and serum-free culture.The therapeutic effect of QZXZF on HBx-LCSCs was tested in vitro,and its effect on stemness markers and PI3K/Akt pathway was verified by qRT-PCR and Western blot.Results Yiqi Jianpi Jiedu could improve the overall survival time of HBV-HCC patients.Combined with the results of network pharmacology,the mechanism of action of QZXZF against HBx-LCSCs was explored from the PI3K/Akt pathway.Compared with the blank vector group,HBx can promote the expression of stemness markers in HBx-LCSCs cells;compared with the HBx-LCSCs control group,QZXZF could significantly inhibit the proliferation and colony formation of HBx-LCSCs cells(in a concentration-dependent manner),and could reduce the expression of stemness markers(EpCAM,NANOG,SOX2,and OCT4),phosphorylated PI3K(p-PI3K)and phosphorylated AKT(p-AKT)proteins.Conclusion QZXZF may regulate HBx-mediated LCSCs through PI3K/AKT pathways,providing a reference for the mechanism of TCM intervention in LCSCs.

Objective:To explore the safety and efficacy of intraosseous regional administration (IORA) of vancomycin for preventing infection in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods:A total of 124 patients with knee osteoarthritis undergoing TKA between February 2024 and May 2024 at nine hospitals were enrolled. Preoperative infection prophylaxis involved either IORA (0.5 g vancomycin administered via intraosseous regional infusion before incision) or intravenous infusion (1 g vancomycin via peripheral vein). The IORA group included 15 males and 47 females with a median age of 66.5 years (range, 60.0-70.0 years), while the intravenous group included 14 males and 48 females with a median age of 66.0 years (range, 61.8-70.3 years) years. Intraoperative samples were collected including fat and synovium tissues after incision, before prosthesis placement, and after tourniquet release; distal femoral cancellous bone during femoral osteotomy; proximal tibial cancellous bone during tibial osteotomy; proximal intercondylar cancellous bone before prosthesis placement; and peripheral blood from non-infused arms at surgery initiation and after tourniquet release. Vancomycin concentrations were measured using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Vital sign changes were recorded from admission to 5~10 minutes post-IORA (IORA group) or post-incision (intravenous group). Follow-ups were conducted on postoperative day 1 and 3, and at 1 and 3 months, to document complications including IORA-related adverse events, periprosthetic joint infections, surgical site infections, red man syndrome, acute kidney injury, deep vein thrombosis and so on.Results:Vancomycin concentrations in bone, fat, and synovial tissue samples were significantly higher in the IORA group than in the intravenous group ( P<0.05), while vancomycin concentrations in blood samples were significantly lower in the IORA group than in the intravenous group ( P<0.05). Only 7.3%(41/558) of tissue samples in the IORA group had vancomycin concentrations below 2.0 μg/g (the minimum inhibitory concentration of vancomycin against coagulase-negative staphylococcus), compared to 59.3%(331/558) in the intravenous group (χ 2=11.285, P<0.001). In the intravenous group, 16.9%(21/124) of blood samples had vancomycin concentrations exceeding 15.0 mg/L (the threshold associated with a significantly increased risk of nephrotoxicity), while all concentrations in the IORA group were below this threshold, the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=22.943, P<0.001). There were no statistically significant difference ( P>0.05) in vital signs changes before and after vancomycin administration between the two groups. Two patients in the intravenous group experienced incision exudate, while no other related complications occurred in either group. Conclusions:Compared to the traditional intravenous infusion of 1 g vancomycin, intraosseous injection of a low dose (0.5 g) of vancomycin achieves higher local tissue concentrations in the knee joint with a lower incidence of adverse reactions and is safe for infection prophylaxis. Despite guidelines not recommending the routine use of vancomycin for preventing infection after primary TKA, intraosseous injection of 0.5 g vancomycin may be considered intraoperatively for primary TKA in the following scenarios: patients in medical institutions with a high prevalence of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections, patients with potential preoperative MRSA colonization, or patients with cephalosporin allergy.

Objective To investigate the impact of two different surgical methods, orthotopic kidney transplantation and abdominal heterotopic kidney transplantation, on the surgical outcomes of pig-to-pig kidney transplantation and the short-term survival of recipient pigs after surgery. Methods Twenty-four Bama miniature pigs were divided into two groups, with 12 pigs in each group, and underwent orthotopic kidney transplantation and abdominal heterotopic kidney transplantation, respectively. The perioperative indicators of the recipient pigs, renal blood perfusion, the overall incidence rate of complications and survival rate were compared between the two surgical methods. Results The total surgical time, renal artery anastomosis time, renal vein anastomosis time, cold ischemia time and total ischemia time were all shorter in the abdominal heterotopic kidney transplantation group than in the orthotopic kidney transplantation group, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). The number of satisfactory renal perfusion cases was higher in the abdominal heterotopic kidney transplantation group than in the orthotopic kidney transplantation group (83% vs. 75%), but the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The total incidence of postoperative complications was 33% in the heterotopic kidney transplantation group, with a survival rate of 92%, and the cause of death was rupture of the vascular anastomosis. The total incidence of postoperative complications was 50% in the orthotopic kidney transplantation group, with a survival rate of 83%, and the causes of death were renal vein thrombosis and renal artery thrombosis. There were no statistically significant differences in the total incidence of postoperative complications and survival rates between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions Compared with orthotopic kidney transplantation, abdominal heterotopic kidney transplantation showes better surgical outcomes in pig-to-pig kidney transplantation and is more beneficial for the short-term survival of recipient pigs after surgery. This provides experience for improving the stability of pig-to-non-human primate kidney xenotransplantation models in the future.

Objective: To explore the core features of trait aggression in children and adolescents, so as to provide a theoretical basis for behavioral interventions targeting the central psychological characteristics of aggression in children and adolescents. Methods: From March to May 2020, a simple random convenience sampling method was employed to recruit 39 165 students from grades 4 to 12 in Sichuan, Chongqing, Guizhou, and Shandong. Data were collected via online questionnaires, with all participants completing the Chinese Version of the Aggression Questionnaire. Psychometric network analysis was utilized for data processing. Results: Trait aggression among Chinese children and adolescents was at a moderately low level. The core nodes of the network structure included physical aggression [if someone intentionally causes trouble for me, I will hit them severely (AGG6); if someone hits me, I will retaliate (AGG11)] and self aggression [When I am very irritable, I think of hurting myself (AGG5); when I am in a bad mood, I engage in behaviors that harm my health, such as overeating (AGG25)]. Across grade levels, core nodes primarily originated from the anger dimension [When I m angry, I feel like a powder magazine that could explode at any moment (AGG13); I can t control my temper (AGG18); I am prone to getting angry when I see things that are not pleasing to the eye (AGG23); I will get angry for no reason (AGG27)]. Except for grades 7 and 9, core nodes in other grades included the verbal aggression dimension [I am prone to arguments with people (AGG22)]. Before grade 8, core nodes incorporated the self aggression dimension (AGG 5, AGG 25); after grade 8, core nodes included the physical aggression dimension [AGG 6, AGG 11, I fight slightly more than others (AGG16), and if people around me make things difficult for me to a certain extent, I will fight with them (AGG26)]. No statistically significant differences were found in the trait aggression network structures across grades, genders, or within gender comparisons of different grades. Conclusion These findings broaden our understanding of aggression in children and adolescents, suggesting that behavioral interventions can effectively reduce aggressive behaviors in this population.

[Objective] To explore the clinical features of IgG4-related urinary diseases so as to provide reference for the diagnosis and treatment of such diseases. [Methods] The clinical data of 4 cases of IgG4-related urinary system diseases diagnosed and treated in Xijing Hospital of Air Force Medical University during Aug.2019 and Dec.2023 were retrospectively collected.Here, we report on the diagnosis and treatment of these patients, analysing their symptoms, serology, imaging and pathology as well as their treatment and outcomes. [Results] The patients included 2 male and 2 female.The lesions were involved with the retroperitoneum and urinary system.Three patients had symptoms of lumbar pain.The imaging manifestations were complex, including retroperitoneal mass involving urinary system organs in 2 cases, tabdense shadow of the right kidney in 1 case, and simple cystic mass of kidney in 1 case.Serum IgG4 value was not detected before surgery.All patients underwent radical surgical treatment.Postoperative pathology showed fibrous tissue hyperplasia with a large number of plasma cells, lymphocytes, a few neutrophil infiltrates, and lymphoid follicles and obliterated vasculitis in some specimens.The number of IgG4⁺ plasma cells was more than 10 in all tissues under high power microscope.After surgery, 3 patients had symptoms improved, and serum IgG4 value was within the normal range; 1 patient (patem 3) had elevated IgG4 value during follow-up, received subsequent hormone therapy, and the serum IgG 4 level remained stable. [Conclusion] The symptoms of IgG4-related diseases involving the urinary system are non-specific, and the imaging findings are various, easily confused with other diseases.Early detection of serum IgG4 and biopsy pathology can help clinicians make correct diagnosis in the early stage.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of bundled property management under multidisciplinary coopera-tion mode on prevention and control of multidrug-resistant organisms(MDROs)in intensive care units(ICUs)and explore the evidence-based methods for prevention and control of MDROs.METHODS A control study before and after the same time period was designed,the post-intervention period was 2024 when the bundled measures were fully implemented,and the pre-intervention period was 2023.Totally 8 ICUs of general and special depart-ments of a three-A hospital in Hubei Province were recruited as research subjects,the multidisciplinary coopera-tion team was established,the bundled management measures were introduced to optimize the quality of property cleaning work.The quality of service of the property cleaning work was evaluated through surveillance of hospital-associated infections and environmental hygiene surveillance before and after the bundled measures were imple-mented.RESULTS The isolation rate of MDROs from object surfaces of ICU environment declined from 0.34％to 0.10％after the bundled management measures under multidisciplinary cooperation model were implemented(P＜0.05).The incidence of MDROs hospital-associated infections was reduced from 0.07％to 0.03％(P＜0.05);the isolation rate of MDROs from patients decreased from 14.68％to 12.69％(P＜0.05);the performance as-sessment score of the cleaning staff was raised from(85.56±7.21)points to(91.06±3.07)points,however,there was no significant difference.The hand hygiene compliance rate of the cleaning staff was raised from 42.86％to 68.52％(P＜0.05).The positive rate of random ATP fluorescent test for environmental object surfaces de-clined from 25.41％to 10.05％(P＜0.05).Other environmental hygiene indexes for the cleaning and disinfection effects were improved in varying degrees.CONCLUSION The bundled management measures under multidiscipli-nary cooperation mode boost the property service quality,enhance the cleaning staff's awareness of disinfection,prevention and control,reduce the isolation rate of MDROs in environment,and thus decrease the incidence of MDROs hospital-associated infections and prevent the transmission.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of failure mode and effect analysis(FMEA)on management of hospi-tal-associated infections(HAIs)in hemodialysis center.METHODS In Nov.2023,the risk priority number(RPN)integrated with action priority(AP)was adopted to identify,analyze and evaluate the risk factors in man-agement of HAIs in hemodialysis center of Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College,Huazhong Uni-versity of Science and Technology by FMEA method.The high risk points that needed to be taken interventions were screened out,and the targeted measures were formulated to control the risks.At the end of the intervention period,a second round of risk assessment was carried out for improvement status of the high-risk points in Nov.2024,and the effect on the management of HAIs was evaluated.RESULTS The risk assessment was carried out for 48 risk points covering eight aspects,including organizational structure,self-inspection and supervision,staff management,environmental layout,cleaning and disinfection,surveillance,operation procedures and i-tem management.There were 9 risk points with the RPN values greater than 125,3 of which were with the AP value of"H".There were 8 risk points with the RPN value less than 125 and 6 risk points with the AP value drop-ping down to L after the targeted intervention measures were taken,indicating that the risk management has a-chieved favorable effect.CONCLUSIONS The RPN and AP integrated with FMEA can accurately identify the high-risk points in the quality management of the hemodialysis center.It is necessary to take targeted interven-tion measures so as to boost the effect on prevention and control of HAIs in the hemodialysis center and reduce the risk of HAIs in the hemodialysis patients.
