Objective To investigate the registration rate and trend of pulmonary tuberculosis complicated with diabetes mellitus (PTB-DM) in Wuhan from 2020 to 2024, and to provide scientific evidence for formulating PTB-DM prevention and control policies. Methods PTB-DM case data in Wuhan (2020-2024) were collected through the Infectious Disease Registration and Management Information System. Joinpoint regression model was employed to analyze the trend of registration rates of PTB-DM among the general population and across different regions, genders, and age groups. ARIMA model was used to predict the short-term prevalence of PTB-DM. Results Among 26275 pulmonary tuberculosis cases registered in Wuhan (2020-2024), 2669 cases (10.16%) were PTB-DM. The average annual registration rate of PTB-DM was 3.96/100,000, increasing from 2.74/100,000 in 2020 to 5.40/100,000 in 2024 (APC=19.07%, 95% CI:12.99%-26.92%, P<0.001). The PTB-DM registration rates showed an upward trend across different regions, genders, and age groups in Wuhan, with higher registration rates observed in near urban area, males, and individuals aged 60~64 and 65 years and above (χ²=99.566, P<0.001; χ²=781.891, P<0.001; χ²=2211.930, P<0.001). ARIMA model predicted that the prevalence of PTB-DM in Wuhan would remain stable and fluctuating in the short time. Conclusion PTB-DM registration rate in Wuhan increases from 2020 to 2024. Near urban area, males, and elderly populations are high risk groups. Future efforts should focus on strengthening the prevention and control of PTB-DM among these populations.

This paper provides a systematic review of the policies, regulations, and management requirements in the development and use of in vitro diagnostic reagents by healthcare institutions, along with their current implementation status both domestically and internationally, and includes a case analysis of the pilot program at Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH). The Medical Affairs Department of PUMCH, serving as the leading and operational management unit, established a multi-department collaborative governance structure and developed a full-lifecycle management model encompassing project selection, manufacturing approach determination, regulatory submission and approval, batch production, and clinical implementation. Under this management model, the hospital successfully completed five projects within just one year, achieving the highest number of project filings nationwide. Economic benefit evaluation of the first approved reagent, which is urgently required by clinical practice and named allergen-specific immunoglobulin E detection assay for Fraxinus pennsylvanica pollen, demonstrates that the project realized controllable risk and predictable commercial value, and proves that proactive implementation of systematic management model and project systematic construction is the key to successfully advancing laboratory-developed test programs. The experiences provide both theoretical insights and practical guidance for peer medical institutions seeking to develop and implement self-developed in vitro diagnostic reagents.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) combined with upper limb robot on upper limb dysfunction in patients with ischemic stroke. MethodsFrom January, 2023 to March, 2024, 56 inpatients with upper limb dysfunction after ischemic stroke were selected from Zhejiang Rehabilitation Medical Center, and divided into control group (n = 28) and experimental group (n = 28) randomly. All the patients received comprehensive treatment and upper limb robot training, while the control group received sham HD-tDCS and the experimental group received HD-tDCS, for four weeks. They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremities (FMA-UE), Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) and modified Barthel Index (MBI) before and after treatment. The cortical amplitude, cortical latency and central motor conduction time (CMCT) of transcranial magnetic stimulation motor-evoked potential (MEP) were recorded, and a correlation analysis was conducted. ResultsThe scores of FMA-UE, WMFT and MBI, and MEP cortical amplitude, cortical latency and CMCT improved in both groups after treatment (t > 3.177, P < 0.01), and they were better in the experimental group than in the control group (t > 3.610, P < 0.01). The scores of FMA-UE and WMFT negatively correlated with MEP cortical latency and CMCT, and positively correlated with MEP cortical amplitude (|r| > 0.448, P < 0.001). ConclusionHD-tDCS is effective on upper limb motor function and activities of daily living for patients with ischemic stroke, and can improve corticospinal motor conduction.

BACKGROUND: The main cause of restenosis after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is the excessive proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Lin28a has been reported to play critical regulatory roles in this process. However, whether CCAAT/enhancer-binding proteins β (C/EBPβ) binds to the Lin28a promoter and drives the progression of restenosis has not been clarified. Therefore, in the present study, we aim to clarify the role of C/EBPβ-Lin28a axis in restenosis. METHODS: Restenosis and atherosclerosis rat models of type 2 diabetes ( n   =  20, for each group) were established by subjecting to PTA. Subsequently, the difference in DNA methylation status and expression of C/EBPβ between the two groups were assessed. EdU, Transwell, and rescue assays were performed to assess the effect of C/EBPβ on the proliferation and migration of VSMCs. DNA methylation status was further assessed using Methyltarget sequencing. The interaction between Lin28a and ten-eleven translocation 1 (TET1) was analysed using co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assay. Student's t -test and one-way analysis of variance were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: C/EBPβ expression was upregulated and accompanied by hypomethylation of its promoter in restenosis when compared with atherosclerosis. In vitroC/EBPβ overexpression facilitated the proliferation and migration of VSMCs and was associated with increased Lin28a expression. Conversely, C/EBPβ knockdown resulted in the opposite effects. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays further demonstrated that C/EBPβ could directly bind to Lin28a promoter. Increased C/EBPβ expression and enhanced proliferation and migration of VSMCs were observed after decitabine treatment. Further, mechanical stretch promoted C/EBPβ and Lin28a expression accompanied by C/EBPβ hypomethylation. Additionally, Lin28a overexpression reduced C/EBPβ methylation via recruiting TET1 and enhanced C/EBPβ-mediated proliferation and migration of VSMCs. The opposite was noted in Lin28a knockdown cells. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that the C/EBPβ-Lin28a axis is a driver of restenosis progression, and presents a promising therapeutic target for restenosis.

OBJECTIVE To construct ensemble learning models for predicting high-use days of budesonide based on meteorological factors， thereby providing reference for hospital pharmacy management. METHODS Meteorological data for 2024 and outpatient budesonide usage data from the jurisdiction of Sanming Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine were collected. High-use days were defined as the 75th percentile of outpatient budesonide usage， and a corresponding dataset was established. The prediction task was formulated as a classification problem， and three ensemble learning models were developed： Random Forest， Extreme Gradient Boosting （XGBoost）， and Histogram-based Gradient Boosting Classifier. Model performance was evaluated using accuracy， precision， recall， F1-score， and log-loss. Model interpretability was analyzed using Shapley Additive Explanations （SHAP）. RESULTS The Histogram-based Gradient Boosting Classifier achieved the best performance （accuracy＝0.75， F1-score＝0.48）， followed by XGBoost （accuracy＝0.74， F1-score＝0.43） and Random Forest （accuracy＝0.72， F1-score＝0.22）. SHAP results suggested that the prediction results of the last two models have the highest correction. CONCLUSIONS Ensemble learning models can effectively predict high-use days of budesonide， with the Histogram- based Gradient Boosting Classifier demonstrating the best predictive performance. Low temperature， high humidity， and low atmospheric pressure show significant positive impacts on the prediction of daily budesonide usage.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and value of nomogram based on base line clinical and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) characteristics for pretreatment predicting the depth of myometrial invasion and tumor grade of endometrioid endometrial carcinoma (EEC).Methods:Preoperative baseline clinical characteristics and DCE-MRI characteristics of 194 EEC patients were prospectively collected at Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Fudan University from October 2020 to January 2022 and used as a training set. Univariate analysis was conducted to compare baseline clinical characteristics and DCE-MRI quantitative parameters [including tumor volume, and mean, median, and standard deviation of volume transfer constant (K trans), rate constant (K ep), extravascular extracellular volume fraction (V e), and initial area under the enhancement curve (iAUC)] between patients with deep myometrial invasion (DMI) and those with superficial myometrial invasion (SMI), as well as between high-grade and low-grade EEC. Multivariate logistics regression analysis was used to identify independent predictors for the construction of nomogram. An independent external testing set comprising 127 EEC patients was retrospectively collected from Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University and Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University (Xiamen Branch). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used for evaluating the model′s predictive performance and clinical net benefit, respectively. Results:(1) The depth of myometrial invasion: univariate analysis showed that in the training set, the EEC patients with DMI differed significantly from those with SMI in clinical characteristics including higher proportion of postmenopausal state and overweight [body mass index (BMI)≥25 kg/m2], and abnormal levels of serum cancer antigen (CA) 125, CA 199, and human epididymis protein 4 (HE4), and in DCE-MRI quantitative parameters including tumor volume, and median, mean, and standard deviation of K trans, median of V e, as well as median, mean, and standard deviation of iAUC (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the patient′s menstrual status, BMI, CA 199, tumor volume, and mean of iAUC were independent predictors of the depth of myometrial invasion, and constructed the nomogram (recorded as Nomogram_1), achieving an AUC of 0.861 (95% CI: 0.803-0.919) in the training set. In the independent external testing set, the AUC was 0.876 (95% CI: 0.815-0.938), with corresponding sensitivity of 82.0%, specificity of 80.7%, accuracy of 81.1%, positive predictive value (PPV) of 65.3%, and negative predictive value (NPV) of 91.0% for predicting DMI. (2) The EEC grade: univariate analysis showed that in the training set, high-grade EEC patients differed significantly from low-grade EEC in clinical characteristics including patient′s age, the proportion of postmenopausal state and overweight, and abnormal levels of serum CA 125, and in DCE-MRI quantitative parameters including tumor volume, median, mean, and standard deviation of K trans, median and mean of V e, as well as median, mean, and standard deviation of iAUC (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the patient′s menstrual status, BMI, tumor volume, and median of V e emerged as independent predictors of EEC grade, and constructed the nomogram (recorded as Nomogram_2), achieving an AUC of 0.845 (95% CI: 0.786-0.893) in the training set. While in the external testing set, the AUC was 0.819 (95% CI: 0.744-0.894), with corresponding sensitivity of 72.4%, specificity of 72.4%, accuracy of 72.4%, PPV of 43.8%, and NPV of 89.9% for predicting high-grade EEC. (3) The DCA curves demonstrated that both Nomogram_1 and Nomogram_2 yielded obvious positive clinical net benefits across a wide range of threshold probabilities. Conclusion:The nomogram based on pretreatment clinical and DCE-MRI characteristics has the potential to noninvasive predict the depth of myometrial invasion and grade of EEC, providing valuable reference information for clinical management decision-making.

Turning to critical illness is a common stage of various diseases and injuries before death. Patients usually have complex health conditions, while the treatment process involves a wide range of content, along with high requirements for doctor′s professionalism and multi-specialty teamwork, as well as a great demand for time-sensitive treatments. However, this is not matched with critical care professionals and the current state of medical care in China. Telemedicine, which shortens the distance of medical professionals and the gap of disease diagnosis and treatments in various regions through electronic information, can effectively solve the current problem. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a standardized, high-quality visualization telemedicine round system .Therefore, experts have been organized to search domestic and foreign literature on telemedicine round for critically ill patients and to form this consensus based on clinical experiences so as to further improve the level of critical care treatments in regions.
