Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of lower respiratory tract infections oc-currence and respiratory system prognosis in infantile stage of children patients with bronchopulmonary dys-plasia(BPD).Methods Fifty premature infants with lower respiratory tract infection and BPD treated in this hospital from March 2017 to December 2020 were selected as the BPD group and 50 preterm infants with low-er respiratory tract infection without BPD during the same period were selected as the non-BPD group.The clinical data and occurrence situation of respiratory system diseases within 3 years after birth in the two groups were collected and analyzed.Results Compared with the non-BPD group,the incidence rates of tachy-pnoea(48.0%vs.12.0%),wheeze(44.0%vs.10.0%),wheezing rale(44.0%vs.10.0%),three concave sign(28.0%vs.8.0%),cyanosis(20.0%vs.4.0%),severe pneumonia(48.0%vs.12.0%)and respirato-ry failure(20.0%vs.4.0%)in the BPD group were higher,the hospitalization duration[7.5(7.0,10.0)d vs.7.0(6.0,7.0)d]was longer,the reaching peak time ratio[18.20%(14.65%,22.25%)vs.24.85%(19.55%,32.78%)],the reaching peak volume ratio[22.15%(19.43%,23.83%)vs.25.65%(22.40%,34.90%)]and the inspiratory/expiratory ratio(0.70±0.12 vs.0.76±0.11)were lower,the 3-year total lower respiratory tract infection times[5.0(4.0,10.0)times vs.3.0(2.0,5.0)times],wheeze times[2.0(1.0,4.0)times vs.0.5(0,1.0)times],the hospitalization times[3.00(2.00,5.00)times vs.2.00(1.00,2.00)times],severe pneumonia times[2.0(1.0,2.0)times vs.1.0(0,1.0)times]and wheeze times in differ-ent ages were more,total hospitalization duration[29.50(19.50,38.25)d vs.13.00(7.00,17.75)d]was lon-ger,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The children patients with BPD are prone to lower respiratory tract infections,especially 0-<1 years old,the proportion of severe pneumonia af-ter infection is higher and wheezing is easily to develop.

Aptamers are a class of short DNA/RNA single strand oligonucleotides that can bind to target molecules with high affinity specificity. They have the advantages of high affinity specificity, low molecular weight and low immunogenicity, and have been widely used in biomedical research, clinical diagnosis and therapy, and biosensor development. Systematic evolution of ligand by exponential enrichment (SELEX) is an in vitro screening technique, which enriches the aptamers with high affinity and specific binding to the target through multiple cycles of screening, and has a wide range of applications in tumor therapy.

Objective To systematically evaluate the risk factors for new-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) after off-pump coronary bypass grafting (OPCABG). Methods PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, Wanfang data, CBM, VIP, and CNKI databases were systematically searched by computer to collect studies related to the risk factors for NOAF after OPCABG from the establishment of the database to July 2023. Literature screening and quality evaluation were conducted independently by two researchers. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to evaluate the quality of the literature. RevMan 5.3 and Stata15.0 were used for meta-analysis. Results Finally, 19 case-control studies related to the risk factors for NOAF after OPCABG were included, all of which were high-quality literature with NOS score≥6 points, with a total of 7019 subjects. The results of meta-analysis showed that the following factors were associated with NOAF after OPCABG: (1) the patient’s own factors: age (MD=3.51, 95%CI 2.39 to 4.63, P<0.01); (2) preoperative factors: history of hypertension (OR=1.17, 95%CI 1.04 to 1.32, P=0.01), history of myocardial infarction (OR=1.21, 95%CI 1.06 to 1.38, P<0.01), history of percutaneous coronary intervention (OR=2.22, 95%CI 1.03 to 4.77, P=0.04), EuroSCOREⅡ score (MD=0.59, 95%CI 0.25 to 0.94, P<0.01), low-density lipoprotein (MD=0.11, 95%CI 0.02 to 0.20, P=0.02), left atrial diameter (MD=1.64, 95%CI 0.24 to 3.04, P=0.02); (3) postoperative and treatment factors: left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (MD=1.16, 95%CI 0.33 to 1.99, P<0.01), left ventricular ejection fraction (MD=0.90, 95%CI 0.07 to 1.73, P=0.03), mechanical ventilation time (MD=2.78, 95%CI 1.65 to 3.90, P<0.01), B-type natriuretic peptide (MD=219.67, 95%CI 27.46 to 411.88, P=0.03), ICU retention time (MD=7.07, 95%CI 5.64 to 8.50, P<0.01). Conclusion The existing evidence shows that age, history of hypertension, history of myocardial infarction, history of percutaneous coronary intervention, preoperative EuroSCOREⅡscore, preoperative low-density lipoprotein, preoperative left atrial diameter, postoperative left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, postoperative left ventricular ejection fraction, postoperative mechanical ventilation time, postoperative B-type natriuretic peptide, and postoperative ICU retention time are risk factors for NOAF after OPCABG. Clinical attention should be paid to the above factors to achieve early identification, thereby reducing the incidence of NOAF after OPCABG and improving the clinical prognosis of patients.

Drug repurposing offers a promising alternative to traditional drug development and significantly re-duces costs and timelines by identifying new therapeutic uses for existing drugs.However,the current approaches often rely on limited data sources and simplistic hypotheses,which restrict their ability to capture the multi-faceted nature of biological systems.This study introduces adaptive multi-view learning(AMVL),a novel methodology that integrates chemical-induced transcriptional profiles(CTPs),knowledge graph(KG)embeddings,and large language model(LLM)representations,to enhance drug repurposing predictions.AMVL incorporates an innovative similarity matrix expansion strategy and leverages multi-view learning(MVL),matrix factorization,and ensemble optimization techniques to integrate heterogeneous multi-source data.Comprehensive evaluations on benchmark datasets(Fdata-set,Cdataset,and Ydataset)and the large-scale iDrug dataset demonstrate that AMVL outperforms state-of-the-art(SOTA)methods,achieving superior accuracy in predicting drug-disease associations across multiple metrics.Literature-based validation further confirmed the model's predictive capabilities,with seven out of the top ten predictions corroborated by post-2011 evidence.To promote transparency and reproducibility,all data and codes used in this study were open-sourced,providing resources for pro-cessing CTPs,KG,and LLM-based similarity calculations,along with the complete AMVL algorithm and benchmarking procedures.By unifying diverse data modalities,AMVL offers a robust and scalable so-lution for accelerating drug discovery,fostering advancements in translational medicine and integrating multi-omics data.We aim to inspire further innovations in multi-source data integration and support the development of more precise and efficient strategies for advancing drug discovery and translational medicine.

Objective To explore the application of plasma 7 microRNA (miR7) testing in the differential diagnosis of very early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods This study is a multicenter real-world study. Patients with single hepatic lesion (maximum diameter≤2 cm) who underwent plasma miR7 testing at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Anhui Provincial Hospital, and Peking University People’s Hospital between January 2019 and December 2024 were retrospectively enrolled. Patients were divided into very early-stage HCC group and non-HCC group, and the clinical pathological characteristics of the two groups were compared. The value of plasma miR7 levels, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), and des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin (DCP) in the differential diagnosis of very early-stage HCC was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and area under the curve (AUC). In patients with both negative AFP and DCP (AFP＜20 ng/mL, DCP＜40 mAU/mL), the diagnostic value of plasma miR7 for very early-stage HCC was analyzed. Results A total of 64 528 patients from 4 hospitals underwent miR7 testing, and 1 682 were finally included, of which 1 073 were diagnosed with very early-stage HCC and 609 were diagnosed with non-HCC. The positive rate of miR7 in HCC patients was significantly higher than that in non-HCC patients (67.9% vs 24.3%, P＜0.001). ROC curves showed that the AUCs for miR7, AFP, and DCP in distinguishing HCC patients from the non-HCC individuals were 0.718, 0.682, and 0.642, respectively. The sensitivities were 67.85%, 43.71%, and 44.45%, and the specificities were 75.70%, 92.78%, and 83.91%, respectively. The pairwise comparison of AUCs showed that the diagnostic efficacy of plasma miR7 detection was significantly better than that of AFP or DCP (P＜0.05). Although its specificity was slightly lower than AFP and DCP, the sensitivity was significantly higher. Among patients negative for both AFP and DCP, miR7 maintained an AUC of 0.728 for diagnosing very early-stage HCC, with 67.82% sensitivity and 77.73% specificity. Conclusions Plasma miR7 testing is a potential molecular marker with high sensitivity and specificity for the differential diagnosis of small hepatic nodules. In patients with very early-stage HCC lacking effective molecular markers (negative for both AFP and DCP), miR7 can serve as a novel and effective molecular marker to assist diagnosis.

Objective:To evaluate the early efficacy and safety of the exclusively transnasal endoscopic approach and the combined transconjunctival-endoscopic approach in the resection of benign orbital apex lesions.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 51 patients who underwent transnasal endoscopic resection of benign lesions in the orbital apex at Peking University Third Hospital from May 2021 to December 2024. The study population was composed of 17 males and 34 females, with the age of (39.4±12.4) years (range: 4 to 65 years). Pathology diagnoses were identified as orbital cavernous hemangioma (OCH, n=38), schwannoma ( n=8), solitary fibrous tumor ( n=1), mucocele ( n=1), optic nerve sheath meningioma ( n=1), pseudotumor ( n=1), and organized hematoma ( n=1). Two surgical approaches were compared as the exclusively transnasal endoscopic resection ( n=27) and the combined transconjunctival-endoscopic approach (combined approach, n=24). Preoperative and postoperative evaluations were conducted for the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), visual field, intraocular pressure (IOP), and exophthalmos before and after surgery. Demographic characteristics, tumor features, and postoperative complications were analyzed between the two surgical groups. Differences in Orbital Resection by Intranasal Technique (ORBIT) stage between the two surgical approaches were analyzed. SPSS 27.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results:Among the 51 patients, 3 schwannomas underwent intracapsular resection (1 via exclusively transnasal endoscopic approach, and 2 via combined approach), and the remaining 48 patients underwent complete tumor resection. Significant postoperative improvements were observed in BCVA, visual field, IOP and exophthalmos ( t value was 2.96, 4.34, 4.85, and 4.63, respectively, all P<0.05). The combined approach required longer operative time but showed comparable intraoperative blood loss. Tumors resected via the combined approach were larger in volume, though not statistically significant. Postoperative complications (e.g., diplopia, mydriasis) were more frequent in the combined approach group but resolved within a short-term period. There was no significant difference in ORBIT stage between the two groups ( P=0.178). Conclusions:Both exclusively transnasal and combined transconjunctival-endoscopic approaches prove safe and effective for benign orbital apex lesions resection. The combined approach ensures complete tumor removal.

Objective:To study the resistance of Aedes albopictus to commonly used insecticides in Hangzhou, and to investigate the polymorphism distribution characteristics of voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) and acetylcholinesterase (AchE) 1 (Ace-1) genes in Aedes albopictus in the region, providing a scientific basis for control of Aedes albopictus in Hangzhou. Methods:From May to June 2023, Aedes albopictus larvae and pupae were collected from residential areas across divided different urban areas by directions in Hangzhou. They were reared in the laboratory, and their resistance to malathion, propoxur, pyrethroid insecticides (permethrin, deltamethrin, and beta-cypermethrin) was evaluated using the World Health Organization-recommended adult mosquito contact tube method. The 24 h mortality rates of adult mosquito of 98% - 100% was susceptible, 80% - < 98% was suspected resistance, < 80% was resistant. Genomic DNA was extracted from adult Aedes albopictus, and mutations in the VGSC and Ace-1 genes were detected through PCR amplification and Sanger sequencing. Results:The 24 h mortality rates of adult Aedes albopictus exposed to 0.5% malathion, 0.05% propoxur, 0.4% permethrin, 0.03% deltamethrin, and 0.08% beta-cypermethrin in Hangzhou were 100% (75/75), 96.00% (72/75), 41.43% (29/70), 17.33% (13/75), and 32.86% (23/70), respectively. A total of 146 surviving Aedes albopictus were tested for VGSC gene mutations at diagnostic doses of pyrethroid insecticides. Among them, 6 Aedes albopictus (4.11%) had a gene mutation at position V1016, and 146 Aedes albopictus (100%) had a gene mutation at position F1534. A total of 63 Aedes albopictus that died at diagnostic doses of pyrethroid insecticides were analyzed for VGSC gene mutations. No gene mutation was detected at position V1016, while 63 Aedes albopictus (100%) had a gene mutation at position F1534. One non synonymous mutation was detected at position V1016 of the VGSC gene, which was a heterozygous mutation of V1016V to V1016V/G. Two non synonymous mutations were detected at position F1534 of the VGSC gene, namely F1534F to F1534S or a F1534F/S heterozygous mutation. No Ace-1 gene mutation was detected in all Aedes albopictus exposed to 0.05% propoxur ( n = 75). Conclusions:The Aedes albopictus in Hangzhou has developed resistance to permethrin, deltamethrin, and beta-cypermethrin. It shows suspected resistance to propoxur and sensitivity to malathion. Moreover, a high frequency of mutations in the VGSC gene has been observed in these mosquitoes. It is crucial to enhance resistance monitoring in Aedes albopictus populations in Hangzhou and to implement the rational rotation of chemical insecticides to slow down the progress of drug resistance.
