Background: and Purpose Vertebrobasilar fusiform aneurysms (VBFAs) carry substantial morbidity and mortality, but optimal management for unruptured VBFAs remains unclear. We compared the safety and efficacy of conservative management (CM), stent-assisted coiling (SAC), and flow diverters (FDs) in patients with unruptured VBFAs, focusing on long-term prognosis. Methods: This study included data from a nationwide Chinese cohort of patients with vertebrobasilar dissecting aneurysms. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) balanced confounders across groups. The primary outcome was poor prognosis (modified Rankin Scale score >2). Secondary outcomes included aneurysm rupture, ischemic stroke, compression symptoms, and VBFA-related deaths. Logistic regression estimated odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were performed. Results: Among 1,115 patients with unruptured VBFAs, 838 (median age, 54 years; 655 men) were included. After IPTW, baseline characteristics were balanced. Median follow-up was 54 months. FD was associated with a lower risk of poor prognosis than CM (OR, 0.48 [95% CI, 0.30 to 0.77]; p=0.002), with no difference between CM and SAC. FD also reduced aneurysm rupture (OR, 0.20 [95% CI, 0.07 to 0.60]; p=0.004) and compression symptoms (OR, 0.30 [95% CI, 0.13 to 0.68]; p=0.004) versus CM. Time-to-event analyses further revealed significant differences in vertebral artery lesions and Type I–II VBFAs, whereas no significant differences were observed in basilar or vertebrobasilar junction lesions or in Type III–IV VBFAs. Conclusions Compared with CM, FD was associated with improved long-term outcomes in unruptured VBFAs, particularly in vertebral artery lesions and Type I–II VBFAs, although residual confounding cannot be excluded.

With the rapid rise of large language models(LLM),the natural language generation capabilities of deep learning have demonstrated significant value in the medical field.However,the"closed nature"of model parameters makes them prone to generating"hallucinations",making it difficult to provide accurate answers to the latest knowledge,and the reasoning process lacks transparency and traceability.Retrieval-augmented generation(RAG)technology addresses these issues by actively connecting external information sources such as document databases and knowledge graphs during the generation process.This significantly reduces the dependence of LLM on outdated training data and introduces verifiable evidence and real-time knowledge updates into their responses.In the medical field,RAG technology effectively addresses the high-accuracy and traceability requirements of literature retrieval and clinical decision support.It is widely applied in areas such as drug discovery,pharmacovigilance,and the diagnosis and treatment of rare diseases.By integrating emerging technologies such as reinforcement learning,multimodal processing,and compliant privacy protection,RAG technology is evolving towards a more open and highly customizable direction,providing innovative intelligent solutions for medical information retrieval and decision-making support.

This paper summarizes the progress of theoretical research and practice of One Health in China,and discusses the paradigm of One Health governance to improve the prevention and control of infectious diseases in China and the world,and provide an example for the improvement of the public health system.In particular,China has long history to apply the concept of One Health in the national schistosomiasis control programmes and patriotic health campaigns,which were not only focusing on human health,but also emphasizing the sustainable development of animal health and ecological environment.At the same time,the application of tools such as system dynamics model,eDNA technology,One Health economic assessment and global One Health index(GOHI)in the field of disease control and environmental health provides technical support for the concept of One Health.Despite the challenges of practical application of these tools,the One Health concept will play a greater role in providing sustainable solutions for human-animal-environmental health by strengthening interdisciplinary collaboration,improving standardization protocols and promoting inter-national cooperation.

Mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)play a crucial role in tissue repair and regeneration,and the extracellular vesicle(EV)released by them holds great promise for applications in clinical biomarkers,vaccines,and drug delivery.However,MSCs-derived EV(MSCs-EV)face challenges such as low pro-duction yield,poor retention,and targeted delivery issues.There-fore,engineering MSCs-EV to enhance their performance and en-able visual research has become a hot topic.Curcumin(CUR),an active component in traditional chinese medicine,exhibits pharmacological effects but has limited bioavailability.Using MSCs-EV as a carrier for CUR delivery can address its solubility and bioavailability challenges.This article reviews the drug loading methods,engineering strategies of MSCs-EV,and their important applications in the delivery and treatment of CUR for cartilage injury diseases.It provides a basis for the clinical ap-plication of engineered MSCs-EV in CUR delivery for cartilage repair,offering potential solutions to the challenges in cartilage tissue repair.

Objective:To report the nationwide surveillance results of pathogenic profiles and antimicrobial resistance patterns of Gram-positive bloodstream infections in China in 2023.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-posttive bacteria from blood cultures were collected in member hospitals of National Bloodstream Infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System（BRICS）during January to December 2023. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using the dilution method recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute（CLSI）. Statistical analyses were conducted using WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software.Results:A total of 4 385 Gram-positive bacterial isolates were obtained from 60 participating center. The top five pathogens were Staphylococcus aureus（ n=1 544，35.2%），coagulase-negative Staphylococci（ n=1 441，32.9%）， Enterococcus faecium（ n=574，13.1%）， Enterococcus faecalis（ n=385，8.8%），and α-hemolytic Streptococci（ n=187，4.3%）. The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus（MRSA）and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci（MRCNS）was 26.2%（405/1 544）and 69.8%（1 006/1 441），respectively. Notably，all Staphylococci remained susceptible to glycopeptide or daptomycin. Staphylococcus aureus demonstrated excellent susceptibility（>97.0%）to cephalobiol，rifampicin，trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole，linezolid，minocycline，tigecycline，and eravacycline. No Enterococcus exhibiting resistance to linezolid were detected. Glycopeptide resistance was uncommon but more frequent in Enterococcus faecium（resistance to vancomycin and teicoplanin：both 1.7%）compared to Enterococcus faecalis（both 0.3%）. The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS exhibited significant regional variations across the country（ χ2=17.674 and 148.650，respectively，both P<0.001）. No vancomycin-resistant Enterococci were detected in central China. Institutional comparison demonstrated higher prevalence of MRSA（ χ2=14.111， P<0.001）and MRCNS（ χ2=4.828， P=0.028）in provincial hospitals than that in municipal hospitals. Socioeconomic analysis identified elevated detection rates of both MRSA（ χ2=18.986， P<0.001）and MRCNS（ χ2=4.477， P=0.034）in less developed regions（per capita GDP

Objective:To report the results of bacterial resistant investigation collaborative system（BRICS）on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical Gram-negative bacteria isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2023，and provide reference for clinical tretment of bloodstream infections and prevention and control of bacterial resistance.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-negative bacteria from blood cultures in member hospitals of BRICS were collected during January 2023 to December 2023. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute（CLSI）. WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 were used to analyze the data.Results:During the study period，11 492 strains of Gram-negative bacteria were collected from 60 hospitals，of which 10 098（87.9%）were Enterobacterales and 1 394（12.1%）were non-fermentative bacteria. The top 5 bacterial species were Escherichia coli（50.0%）， Klebsiella pneumoniae（26.1%）， Pseudomonas aeruginosa（5.1%）， Acinetobacter baumannii complex（5.0%）and Enterobacter cloacae complex（4.1%）. The ESBL-producing rates in Escherichia coli， Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirablilis were 46.8%（2 685/5 741），18.3%（549/2 999）and 44.0%（77/175），respectively. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli（CREC）and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae（CRKP）were 1.3%（76/5 741）and 15.0%（450/2 999）；32.9%（25/76）and 78.0%（351/450）of CREC and CRKP were sensitive to ceftazidime/avibactam combination，respectively. 94.7%（72/76）and 90.2%（406/450）of CREC and CRKP were sensitive to aztreonam/avibactam combination. Furthermore，57.9%（44/76）and 79.1%（356/450）were sensitive to imipenem/relebactam combination. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii（CRAB）complex was 64.6%（370/573），while more than 80.0% of CRAB complex was sensitive to tigecycline，eravacycline and polymyxin B. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa（CRPA）was 17.0%（99/581）. There were differences in the composition ratio of Gram-negative bacteria in bloodstream infections and the prevalence of important Gram-negative bacteria resistance among different regions in China，with statistically significant differences in the prevalence of CREC，CRKP，CRPA and CRAB complex（ χ2=10.6，28.6，10.8 and 19.3， P<0.05）. The prevalence of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli， CREC，CRAB complex and CRKP were higher in provincial hospitals than those in municipal hospitals（ χ2=12.5，9.8，12.7 and 57.8，all P<0.01）. Conclusions:Gram-negative bacteria are the main pathogens causing bloodstream infections in China，and Escherichia coli is ranked in the top，while the trend of Klebsiella pneumoniae increases continuously with time. CRKP infection shows a slow upward trend，CREC infecton maintains a low prevalence level，and CRAB complex infection continues to exhibit a high prevalence rate. The composition and resistance patterns of pathogens causing bloodstream infections vary to some extent across different regions and levels of hospitals in China.

Objective:To summarize and analyze the characteristics of delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction in children,in order to provide a scientific basis for clinical prevention,and ensure the safety of children's blood transfusion.Methods:The basic situation,clinical symptoms and signs,diagnosis time and disappearance time of alloantibody of delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction in children were retrospectively analyzed.The serological test,routine blood test,biochemical detection and urine analysis results were compared pre-and post-transfusion.Results:Among 15 164 children with repeated blood transfusion,23 cases occurred delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions,with an incidence rate of 0.15％,and mainly children with thalassemia and acute leukemia.39.13％of delayed hemolytic reactions occurred in children with more than 20 times of blood transfusions.Anemia was the main clinical symptom in 86.96％of children.4.35％of children had hypotension and dyspnea.Serological test results showed that the positive rate of direct antiglobulin test was 91.30％,and that of erythrocyte homologous antibody test was 100％.Erythrocyte alloantibodies were common in Rh and Kidd blood group systems,accounting for 73.91％and 13.04％,respectively.Laboratory test results showed that hemoglobin,reticulocyte,spherocyte,total bilirubin,indirect bilirubin,lactate dehydrogenase,serum ferritin and urine color were significantly different after transfusion compared with those before transfusion(all P＜0.05).The average diagnosis time of delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions was 18.56 days,and the average disappearance time of erythrocyte alloantibodies was 118.43 days.Conclusion:The incidence of delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction is high in children with repeated blood transfusion,and the disappearance time of erythrocyte homologous antibody is long.Blood matched ABO,Rh and Kidd blood group antigens should be transfused prophylactically.Once diagnosed,erythrocyte alloantibody corresponding to antigen-negative blood should be used throughout the whole process.

Objective To establish a combined model of spectral CT multi-parameters and clinical features to distinguish between gastric poorly cohesive carcinoma and tubular adenocarcinoma.Methods A total of 87 patients with gastric cancer confirmed by postoperative pathology were retrospectively selected,including 26 patients with poorly cohesive carcinoma and 61 patients with tubular adenocarcinoma.Predictors were identified by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses,and a combined model was established.The area under the curve(AUC)of receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the differential diagnostic efficiency of the parameters and the model.The AUC was compared by DeLong method.Results The gender[odds ratio(OR)5.124,P=0.004],normalized iodine density in the arterial phase(nIoDAP)(OR 5.789,P=0.017),arterial enhancement fraction(AEF)(OR 7.007,P=0.002)and ΔIoD(OR 0.025,P=0.021)were identified as independent predictors for poorly cohesive carcinoma by logistic regression analysis.The AUC of combined model established by four variables in distinguishing poorly cohesive carcinoma and tubular adenocarcinoma was 0.837[95％confidence interval(CI)0.716-0.907],which was significantly higher than that of single tumor spectral CT parameters(P＜0.01).Conclusion The combined model based on patients'gender and tumor spectral CT parameters(nIoDAP,AEF and ΔIoD)can effectively distinguish gastric poorly cohesive carcinoma and tubular adenocarcinoma,providing a basis for gastric cancer patients'individualized treatment strategy.

This study was aimed at understanding the resistance status of dairy cow-derived Streptococcus strains in China,and providing scientific guidance for the rational use of antimicrobials and the development of new antimicrobials.Meta-analysis was used to explore the resistance of Streptococcus strains to 20 antimicrobials between 2000 and 2023.A total of 67 articles de-scribing 3 154 strains were included after a literature search,and a meta-analysis was conducted on the overall collection area according to time subgroups for 20 antimicrobials.Streptococci of dairy origin in China showed varying resistance rates(≥30％),as follows:penicillin(60％,95％CI=0.48-0.72),streptomycin(57％,95％CI=0.46-0.68),cotrimoxazole(56％,95％CI=0.28-0.82),lincomycin(51％,95％CI=0.26-0.76),tetracycline(49％,95％CI=0.40-0.59),doxycyc-line(42％,95％CI=0.24-0.60),clindamycin(41％,95％CI=0.28-0.54),ampicillin(39％,95％CI=0.27-0.52),e-rythromycin(37％,95％CI=0.28-0.45),kanamycin(36％,95％CI=0.20-0.54),and amoxicillin(30％,95％CI=0.10-0.53).On the basis of findings in the collection area,the resistance rates of dairy cow-derived Streptococcus to antimicrobials in Northeast China and Southwest China was generally high.The resistance rates of Streptococcus from dairy cattle to antimi-crobial drugs such as tetracycline,doxycycline,and lincomycin increased significantly over time.However,the resistance rates to antimicrobial drugs such as streptomycin,gentamicin,and enrofloxacin showed a significant decreasing trend.Dairy cow-de-rived Streptococcus had high resistance to some antimicrobials,and the resistance varied by region,because of differences in breeding and management.Monitoring of antimicrobial resistance rates,enhancing research on resistance mechanisms,and reg-ulating the use of antimicrobials remain necessary.
