Objective To compare functional differences of CD8+T cells in lung tissues between young and aged C57BL/6J mice during the contraction phase and memory immune response phase after infection with influenza A(H1N1)virus.Methods Lung tissues from young(3-month-old)and aged(24-month-old)C57BL/6J female mice without influenza virus infection were collected to prepare single-cell suspensions,which were stimulated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate(PMA)/ionomycin or cluster of differentiation(CD)3/CD28 antibodies(T-cell antigen receptor/co-stimulatory signals)respectively(non-specific antigens stimulation).Flow cytometry intracellular cytokine staining(ICS)was performed on lung CD8+T cells to detect their secretion capacity of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interferon-γ(IFN-γ).Young and aged C57BL/6J mice were infected intranasally with 490 PFU PR8 influenza virus,and reinfected with homologous influenza virus 28 days later.Lung tissues were isolated on day 28(the contraction phase)and day 32(the memory immune response phase)after primary infection.Influenza virus-specific MHC-Ⅰ tetramer staining was used to detect the proportion of virus-specific CD8+T cells in lung tissue CD8+T cells,and ICS was used to analyze TNF-α,IFN-γ,and granzyme B expression in CD8+CD44high T cell subset.Results After non-specific antigen stimulation,TNF-α and IFN-γ secretion capacity in lung tissue CD8+T cells of aged group mice was significantly higher than that of young group(P＜0.05).After virus-specific antigen stimulation,there were no statistically significant differences in the proportion of virus-specific CD8+T cells and the expression levels of TNF-α,IFN-γ,and granzyme B between the two groups of mice during the contraction phase(P＞0.05),while during the memory immune response phase,the proportion of virus-specific CD8+T cells and the expression levels of TNF-α,IFN-γ,and granzyme B in the aged group mice were significantly lower than those in the young group(P＜0.05).Conclusion CD8+T cells in aged mice maintain normal immune-related factor expression function under non-specific antigen stimulation,but show impaired immune-related factor expression function during antigen-specific memory immune response phase,suggesting that aging leads to defects in the formation or maintenance of CD8+T cell immune memory.

Objective:To evaluate the differences in total effectiveness, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores, and Cox Menstrual Symptom Scale (CMSS) scores among four non-invasive Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) techniques: moxibustion, massage therapy, acupoint application, and auricular acupressure, for the care of primary dysmenorrhea (PD) using network Meta-analysis, providing evidence-based guidance for clinical decision-making.Methods:Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving the four non-invasive TCM techniques for PD care were retrieved from databases including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, Wanfang, SinoMed, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library up to November 30, 2023. Network Meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.4 and Stata 17.0.Results:A total of 83 studies involving 8 370 PD patients were included. The network Meta-analysis showed that all four TCM techniques were superior to control measures in terms of total effectiveness and reducing VAS scores. Moxibustion, acupoint application, and auricular acupressure were also superior in reducing CMSS scores. Ranking of the effects of different interventions: total effectiveness: auricular acupressure > moxibustion > acupoint application > massage therapy > acupuncture > Chinese patent medicine > Western medicine > blank control > placebo treatment; VAS scores: moxibustion > auricular acupressure > acupoint application > acupuncture > placebo treatment > massage therapy > Western medicine > Chinese patent medicine > blank control; CMSS scores: auricular acupressure > moxibustion > acupuncture > placebo treatment > acupoint application > Western medicine > blank control.Conclusions:The four non-invasive TCM techniques have significant advantages in PD care, with auricular acupressure and moxibustion being the preferred choices for clinical care.

OBJECTIVE To explore the diagnostic value of combined detection of microRNA(miRNA)and alpha-fetoprotein(AFP),protein induced by vitamin K absence or antagonist-Ⅱ(PIVKA-Ⅱ)in ascites and serum ex-tracellular vesicles(EVs)for hepatitis B virus(HBV)-related primary hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).METHODS From Nov.2023 to Nov.2024,41 patients with liver cancer and 26 patients with liver cirrhosis who underwent ascites placement or ascites concentration and reinfusion procedures at the Fifth Medical Center of Chi-nese PLA General Hospital were selected as study subjects.Ascites and serum samples were collected.Real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)was used to detect the expression levels of miR-21,miR-125a,miR-150 and miR-200a in EVs.Chemiluminescence was used to measure the levels of AFP and PIVKA-Ⅱ in ascites,serum and EVs from ascites and serum.An artificial neural network was utilized to con-struct a combined diagnostic model of serum and ascites markers.RESULTS The area under the curve(AUC)for distinguishing HCC from liver cirrhosis using a combination of serum and other indicators was 0.933.The AUC for distinguishing HCC from liver cirrhosis using a combination of ascites and other indicators was 0.912.By screening all detected indicators using an artificial neural network and incorporating indicators with a relative im-portance＞0.5 into the diagnostic model,the model included four indicators:ascites AFP,ascites EVs miR-21,ascites EVs miR-200a and serum EVs miR-200a.This model had a sensitivity of 80.77％,a specificity of 87.80％and an AUC of 0.960 for distinguishing HCC from liver cirrhosis patients.CONCLUSION The combined diagnos-tic markers of miRNA,AFP and PIVKA-Ⅱ in ascites and serum-derived EVs have good application value in the diagnosis of HCC.

Objective To investigate the prevalence proportion and influencing factors of erectile dysfunction in male patients receiving peritoneal dialysis(PD),and to provide a basis for clinical intervention.Methods A total of 170 male patients undergoing maintenance PD in Jinling Hospital from January to June 2025 were selected as the study subjects.And the international erectile function index-5 was used to evaluate sexual function of the patients.The general data,dialy-sis adequacy,nutritional status and other clinical indicators were collected.The logistic regression analysis was used to identify the influence factors of erectile dysfunction in the patients with PD.Results The incidence of erectile dysfunction in male patients with PD was 45.3％.And univariate analysis showed that age,education level,smoking history,dialysis-related symptoms and depressive status were significantly correlated with erectile dysfunction in male patients(all P＜0.05).Ordered logistic regression analysis identified age,sleep duration,smoking history,albumin and total cholesterol as independent risk factors for erectile dysfunction in male patients with PD.Conclusion The incidence of erectile dys-function is relatively high in male patients with PD which is influenced by various physiological and psychological factors.Clinically,attention should be paid to patients' nutritional status,sleep quality,and other factors,with comprehensive in-terventions implemented to improve sexual function and overall quality of life.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of enteric-coated metformin hydrochloride capsules(Junlida?)in patients with T2DM and poor glycemic control under lifestyle interventions.Methods In this study,419 patients with T2DM were recruited from 15 research centers from July 2020 to March 2022,and randomly divided into observation(Obs)group(n=209)and control group(Con,n=210)using a multicenter,randomized,double-blind,non-inferiority trial design.Patients in the Obs group were treated with enteric-coated Metformin hydrochloride capsules(Junlida?),and patients in the Con group were treated with Metformin hydrochloride tablets(Glucophage?).The optimal effective dose of 2 g/d was achieved within 4 weeks,and the reasonable dose was maintained until the end of treatment.The treatment period was 24 weeks.HbA1c and its compliance rate,FPG,and body weight were compared between the two groups in full analysis set(FAS)and protocol set(PPS).Safety and adverse events(AE)were evaluated in safety set(SS).Results A total of 414 participants were randomized(207 cases in Obs group and 207 cases in Con group).414 cases in FAS population(207 cases in Obs group and 207 cases in Con group),and 328 cases in PPS population(164 cases in Obs group and 164 cases in Con group),and 414 cases in SS population(207 cases in Obs group and 207 cases in Con group).After treatment,HbA1c,FPG and body weight were lower in both groups(P<0.05)in FAS and PPS.HbA1c compliance rate was not significantly different between the two groups in FAS and PPS(P>0.05).The results of non-inferiority test showed that the lower limit was>-0.4%in both FAS(-0.154,95%CI-0.384～0.069)and PPS(-0.139,95%CI-0.390～0.112),and the Obs group reached non-inferiority end point.The achievement rate,compliance rate,safety index and incidence of AE were not significantly different between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusions Junlida? demonstrated non-inferiority to Glucophage? in glycemic control and can be safely and effectively used in patients with diabetes.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of enhanced computed tomography (CT) combined with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination on prognosis of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and its correlation with clinical features. Methods:The postoperative follow-up data of enhanced CT and MRI of 80 patients with suspected (ccRCC) who admitted to Bozhou People's Hospital from March 2019 to May 2023 were selected,and they were divided into disease progression group (24 cases) and disease progression-free group (56 cases) according to the condition of disease progression. The disease progression of them were diagnosed through relevant examinations (collection of disease history,physical examination,enhanced CT,MRI,laboratory examination,pathological examination and so on). According to the information of clinical imaging,the age,gender,tumor diameter,with or without tumor thrombus,the location of tumor and surgical method were used to conduct single factor logistic regression analysis,so as to confirm independent predictors. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive value of enhanced CT combined with MRI to the prognosis of ccRCC. The Pearson linear correlation was adopted to analyze the correlation between the results of enhanced CT combined with MRI and prognosis. Results:Based on the results of the follow-up study,CT value of cortex phase,CT value of medullary phase and apparent dispersion coefficient (ADC) in the disease progression group were significantly smaller than those in the disease progression-free group,and the differences of them between two groups were statistically significant (t=10.610,4.697,2.901,P<0.05),respectively. The diffusion coefficient (K value) of disease progression group was significantly larger than that of disease progression-free group,and there was significant difference between the two groups (t=6.375,P<0.05),while there was no significant in diffusion rate (D) between the two groups (P>0.05). The area under curve (AUC) values of ROC curve of single enhanced CT examination,single MRI examination and the combined examination of them were larger than 0.5 in predicting the prognosis of ccRCC,which indicated that both the two examinations had a certain value in predicting the prognosis of ccRCC,and the AUC value of combined examination was the highest (0.940),which indicated the value of combined examination was the highest in predicting the prognosis of ccRCC. There were not significant differences in gender,surgical method,tumor thrombus and tumor location between the two groups (P>0.05). The age and tumor diameter of the disease progression group were significantly larger than those of the disease progression-free group (t=4.292,3.219,P<0.05),respectively. The results of the logistic regression analysis showed that the age and tumor diameter were respectively independent influencing factor on the prognosis of ccRCC (HR=2.167,0.689,P<0.05). The results of Pearson correlation analysis indicated that there was negative correlation between enhanced CT examination and prognosis (r=-0.65,P<0.05),and there was positive correlation between MRI examination and prognosis (r=0.72,P<0.05). In addition,there was a negative correlation in the results between enhanced CT examination and MRI examination (r=-0.58,P<0.05). Conclusion:The prediction of enhanced CT combined with MRI examination is higher than that of each single examination of them for the prognosis of ccRCC,and there is a certain correlation between that and clinical features,but it is still necessary to conduct comprehensive judgement after combines other influence factors in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of pathogens isolated from the children with bloodstream infection in pediatric intensive care unit(PICU)so as to provide guidance for empirical clinical treatment of infections.METHODS Based on the Pediatric Intensive Care Database(PIC,http://pic.nbscn.org),the etiological data were collected from the PICU children of Children's Hospital,Zhejiang University School of Medicine by R software in 2010-2019 and were retrospectively analyzed.The species,distribution and drug resist-ance of the pathogens isolated from the children were observed.RESULTS Totally 991 strains of pathogens were isolated,727(73.36％)of which were gram-positive bacteria,213(21.49％)were gram-negative bacteria,and 51(5.15％)were fungi.Staphylococcus epidermidis(320 strains,32.29％)was the predominant species of the gram-positive bacteria,followed by Staphylococcus hominis(118 strains,11.91％),Staphylococcus capitis(55 strains,5.55％)and Enterococcus faecium(Group D,33 strains,3.33％);Klebsiella pneumoniae(59 strains,5.95％),Escherichia coli(58 strains,5.85％),Acinetobacter baumannii(25 strains,2.52％)and Pseudo-monas aeruginosa(18 strains,1.82％)were the major species of gram-negative bacteria.The analysis of drug re-sistance showed that the gram-positive bacteria were generally resistant to β lactams and maintained sensitive to vancomycin and linezolid;the gram-negative bacteria showed high drug resistance rates,especially,A.baumannii and P.aeruginosa,showed multi-drug resistance.CONCLUSIONS The gram-positive bacteria are dominant among the pathogens isolated from the PICU children with bloodstream infections.The empirical treatment should be performed based on the distribution and drug resistance data of the pathogens,and sensitive drugs should be cho-sen for optimization of the treatment regimen.

Objective:To understand spatial aggregation of lung cancer mortality and its changing trends over the past fifty years in different counties and districts of Shandong Province from 1970 to 2021.Methods:The mortality data of lung cancer were obtained from the death registration system of Shandong province and three retrospective surveys of death cause. The mortality rate and age-standardized mortality rate were used to describe the changing trend of lung cancer in different years, and the contribution value of population factors and non-population factors in lung cancer mortality change was calculated by the mortality differential decomposition method. GeoDa 1.20 and ArcGIS 10.8 software were used for spatial autocorrelation analysis and visualization map display.Results:The crude mortality rate of lung cancer in Shandong Province showed a significant upward trend from 1970 to 2021, rising from 7.22 per 100 000 in 1970-1974 to 62.73 per 100 000 in 2020-2021, with an increase of 7.69 times. Meanwhile, the standardized mortality rate of lung cancer exhibited a trend of increasing first and then decreasing. The differential analysis of lung cancer mortality in different years revealed that changes in crude mortality rates were the result of the combined effects of demographic and non-demographic factors. The proportion of population factors (aging population) leading to an increase in lung cancer mortality rate rose from 2.12% in 1990-1992 to 40.20% in 2020-2021. From a spatial distribution perspective, there were significant regional differences in lung cancer mortality rates among counties (cities, districts) in Shandong Province across different eras. Compared to the period of 1970-1974, the lung cancer mortality rates in all counties and districts in 2020-2021 showed a considerable increase, and there were noticeable changes in the areas of high-high and low-low clustering of lung cancer mortality rates across different eras.Conclusion:There have been significant temporal and spatial changes in the mortality rate of lung cancer in Shandong Province from 1970 to 2021. The crude mortality rate has shown an upward trend, while the standardized mortality rate increases first and then decreases. The concentration of lung cancer mortality rates in counties and districts has also undergone significant changes.
