Objective: To analyze the characteristics of influenza-like illness (ILI) and etiological monitoring results among children aged 0 to 14 years in Heilongjiang Province, so as to provide a basis for formulating prevention and control measures against influenza in children. Methods: Data on ILI among children aged 0 to 14 years and pathogen surveillance results were collected from 18 influenza sentinel hospitals in Heilongjiang Province from 2020 to 2024 through the Chinese Influenza Surveillance Information System. The characteristics of ILI and the distribution of influenza viruses were descriptively analysed. Results: From 2020 to 2024, 215 782 cases of ILI in children aged 0 to 14 were reported in Heilongjiang Province, accounting for 1.18% of all outpatient and emergency cases. The proportion of ILI among outpatient and emergency cases from 2020 to 2024 were 0.56%, 0.52%, 0.78%, 1.63% and 1.87%, respectively, showing an upward trend (P<0.05). The higher number of ILI was reported between November and March of the following year, with 32 784 cases, accounting for 15.19%. A total of 29 300 throat swab samples were collected, of which 2 595 were positive for influenza virus, with an overall detection rate of 8.86%. More positive specimens were detected in winter and spring, with 1 994 cases, accounting for 76.84%. The positive detection rate of influenza virus was higher in boys than in girls (9.23% vs. 8.46%, P<0.05). The positive detection rate was higher among students, at 13.64%. The influenza virus subtypes detected were influenza A (H1N1), influenza A (H3N2) and influenza B (Victoria lineage), accounting for 30.17%, 31.33% and 38.50%, respectively. No influenza B (Yamagata lineage) was detected. Influenza A(H3N2) was the predominant subtype in 2020, only influenza B (Victoria lineage) was detected in 2021, influenza A (H3N2) and influenza A (H1N1) were the predominant subtypes in 2023, and influenza B (Victoria lineage) was the predominant subtype in 2022 and 2024. Conclusions From 2020 to 2024, the proportion of ILI among children aged 0 to 14 years in Heilongjiang Province showed an upward trend, with peak incidence occurring in winter and spring. Boys and students were the key target population for prevention and control, and as dominant strains alternate in circulation, targeted monitoring and prevention measures need to be strengthened.

Objective:To study the alveolar bone remodeling of maxillary anterior teeth after extraction treatment and 2-year recovery period in adolescent patients with maxillary anterior arch protrusion.Methods:15 adolescent patients with maxillary anterior arch protru-sion were included,2 maxillary first premolars were extracted and implant anchorage combined with sliding method were used to close the extraction gap.CBCT images were taken before treatment(T0),after treatment(T1)and 2 years of recorvery period(T2),respectively.After multi-plane reconstruction with Dophin Imaging,the alveolar bone area(ABA)changes of maxillary central incisor,lateral incisor and canine at cementoenamel junction(CEJ-3 mm),root neck,central part,and root tip were measured and recorded as TAC,TA1,TA2 and TA3 respectively.The labial palatal alveolar crest to CEJ bone height(BH)of each tooth was recorded as BCL,BCP respectively.The data were analyzed by IBM SPSS statistics 25.0.Results:In T0-T2 phase,TA1 of each tooth was reduced.In T0-T1 phase,the horizontal adsorption of teeth was significantly correlated with ΔBCP,followed by ΔTA3.In T0-T2 phase,ΔBCP,ΔTA2,ΔTA3 and the horizontal adsorption of teeth showed low negative correlation.In T0-T1 phase,the vertical reduction of teeth was significantly positively correlated with ΔTAC,followed by low correlation with ΔTA3 and ΔTA1.Conclusion:In the treatment of anterior arch protrusion after extraction correction in adolescent patients the more the vertical reduction and horizontal adsorption of teeth in the treatment phase,the more the alveolar bone thickness and height around the tooth root in the maintenance phase,which were significantly positively correlated.Reasonable control of the vertical move-ment of teeth in the alveolar bone can improve the periodontal condition around the teeth to a certain extent.

ObjectiveTo explore the underlying mechanism of Tripterygium wilfordii polyglycoside tablets （TWPT） in the prevention and treatment of kidney injury in diabetic nephropathy （DN） through the nuclear factor of activated T-cells 2（NFAT2）/cyclooxygenase-2（COX-2） pathway. MethodForty-two male SD rats of SPF grade were selected and randomly divided into a normal group （n=8） and an experimental group （n=34） after one week of adaptive feeding. The rats in the normal group were fed conventionally. The DN model was established in rats of the experimental group by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin （STZ） following one week of feeding on a high-fat and high-glucose diet. After the death and failure cases during modeling were eliminated， the remaining 24 model rats were randomly divided into model group， valsartan （8.33 mg·kg^-1·d^-1） group， and TWPT （5 mg·kg^-1·d^-1） group. Rats in normal group and model group were given equal amounts of normal saline by gavage. After six weeks， body weight was measured and urine samples were collected. Blood samples were collected from the abdominal aorta， and then the rats were sacrificed for sampling. Biochemical indicators， such as serum blood urea nitrogen （BUN）， serum creatinine （SCr）， alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， blood lipid， blood glucose， and 24-hour urine total protein （24 h UTP）， were determined. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining and Masson staining were used to observe the pathology of the kidney. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to detect NFAT2 and COX-2 expression levels in the serum. Western blot and Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction（Real-time PCR）were adopted to detect NFAT2， COX-2 protein and mRNA expression in kidney tissues， respectively. ResultCompared with the normal group， the model group showed elevated 24 h UTP， BUN， SCr， CHO， TG， and FBG， increased serum NFAT2 and COX-2 production and expression （P<0.01）， and elevated protein and mRNA expression of NFAT2 and COX-2 in kidney tissues （P<0.01）. In addition， the pathology of the kidney showed enlarged glomeruli， mild proliferation of mesangial cells， and widened mesangial stroma. Compared with the model group， the TWPT group showed decreased 24 h UTP， BUN， SCr， CHO， TG， and FBG （P<0.05，P<0.01）， basically normal glomerular morphology， decreased expression of serum NFAT2 and COX-2 （P<0.01）， and down-regulated protein and mRNA expression of NFAT2 and COX-2 in kidney tissues （P<0.01）. ConclusionTWPT can alleviate 24 h UTP in DN model rats， protect renal function， and improve renal pathology， and its mechanism of action may be related to the down-regulation of NFAT2/COX-2 expression in the serum and kidney tissues.

Objective To compare the application value of three different planes obtained by automated breast volume scanner for the observation of margin characteristics of breast masses.Methods Two hundred and eight women patients with 237 masses (120 benign and 1 1 7 malignant,confirmed by pathology)were included in this study.The detection rates of mass margin characteristics in three different planes were compared.The diagnostic performance of mass margin characteristics in differentiating benign and malignant breast masses in three different planes was compared by area under the ROC curve (AUC). Results The detection rate of angular margins for malignant masses in sagittal planes(41 .9%)was higher than that in coronal planes(22.2%)and axial planes(26.5%)with statistical difference (P =0.001 ,0.013);the detection rate of spiculated margins for malignant masses in coronal planes(42.7%)was higher than that in sagittal planes (1 1 .1 %)and axial planes (1 7.1 %)with statistical difference (both P < 0.001 ).No significant difference was found between any two of the three planes in the detection rates of margin characteristics for benign masses.The AUC of angular margins in sagittal planes (0.693)was higher than that in coronal planes (0.607)and axial planes (0.624);the AUC of spiculated margins in coronal planes (0.697)was higher than that in sagittal planes (0.55 1 )and axial planes (0.573 );the AUC of indistinct margins in axial planes(0.606)was higher than that in coronal planes (0.552)and sagittal planes (0.552);the AUC of microlobulated margins in axial planes (0.825)was higher than that in coronal planes (0.778) and sagittal planes (0.81 7).Conclusions Three different planes of ABVS have their own advantages for the observation of margin characteristics of breast masses.
