ObjectiveTo investigate the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of human bocavirus (HBoV) in hospitalized children with acute lower respiratory tract infection (ALRTI) at a single-center children’s hospital in Shanghai, thereby providing evidence for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of HBoV infection. MethodsA retrospective study was conducted on 19 537 hospitalized children with ALRTI at Shanghai Children’s Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023. Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) combined with capillary electrophoresis was used to detect HBoV and 12 other common respiratory viruses /atypical pathogens. The positive detection rate, demographic characteristics (sex, age), temporal distribution (year, season) of HBoV, as well as the clinical characteristics of severe and non-severe pneumonia were analyzed. ResultsThe overall HBoV-positive rate was 2.57% (503/19 537), with 59.44% (299/503) being single infections and 40.56% (204/503) being co-infections. The positive detection rate was significantly higher in boys than that in girls (2.78% vs 2.33%, χ²=3.88, P=0.049). The highest infection rate was observed in toddlers, followed by infants (χ²=379.57, P<0.001). The positive rate peaked in 2021 and reached its lowest point in 2023 (χ²=45.49, P<0.001), with epidemics mainly prevalent in summer and autumn. The main clinical symptoms were cough (90.06%, 453/503), fever (75.94%, 382/503), and wheezing (39.96%, 201/503). Children with severe pneumonia showed a higher incidence of wheezing compared with the non-severe group (P<0.001), while underlying diseases and co-infections had no significant association with disease severity (P>0.05). ConclusionHBoV was an important pathogen of ALRTI in children, predominantly affecting infants and toddlers, with higher susceptibility in boys and seasonal peaks in autumn and summer. The main clinical manifestations included cough, fever, and wheezing, with wheezing being more prevalent in children with severe pneumonia.

Liver cirrhosis recompensation refers to the process in which patients with decompensated cirrhosis achieve the disappearance of decompensated complications and restoration of liver function and clinical phenotype to a compensated state after etiological treatment or symptomatic treatment. In recent years, with effective control of the etiology of cirrhosis and treatment or prevention of decompensated complications, the clinical significance of recompensation has gained increasing attention. This article elaborates on recompensation from the aspects of definition, diagnostic criteria, influencing factors, mechanisms affecting long-term prognosis, and clinical management strategies, and with reference to the latest research evidence, this article also discusses the core value of recompensation in improving quality of life and reducing the risk of end-stage events, in order to provide a basis for optimizing the comprehensive management of liver cirrhosis.

Objective:The purpose of this study was to develop a dynamic prediction model for patients with gastric signet ring cell cancer (GSRCC)following laparoscopic radical gastrectomy in order to improve the precision and usefulness of prognoses prediction for overall survival and disease-free survival.Methods:From 2011 to 2018, 914 National Cancer Center patients participated in the study. To find independent prognostic indicators and create a prognostic nomogram model, univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed. Calibration curves, receiver operating characteristic curves, and consistency indices were used to assess the model's performance. To make clinical application more convenient, two web-based prediction tools were created.Results:A training set of 639 cases and a validation set of 275 instances were randomly selected from among the patients. Important predictive variables such as age, tumor size, location, pN and pT staging, and postoperative chemotherapy were all incorporated in the model (all P<0.05). The model's consistency index and area under the receiver operating characteristic curves were both higher than 0.7, and the calibration curves demonstrated a good fit between the expected and actual values, indicating high accuracy and consistency in postoperative survival prediction for patients with gastric signet ring cell carcinoma. Conclusion:We successfully developed two dynamic prediction models in this study, which improved its clinical practicability using web-based tools and is anticipated to be crucial to clinical practice going forward.

Objective To investigate the dosimetric effects of tumor treating fields(TTFields)patches on different radiotherapy modes for glioblastoma(GBM)patients who wear TTFields patches during radiotherapy,thereby providing dosimetric guidance for determining the appropriate radiotherapy mode.Methods With the TTFields data from GBM patients,artifact-free radiotherapy CT images were obtained utilizing 3D-printed TPU TTFields patches(3D-Print-TTFields)and anthropomorphic phantoms,and then a TTFields-synchronized radiotherapy image model was constructed.Furthermore,the treatment planning system was used to construct a dosimetric calculation model for TTFields-synchronized radiotherapy by simulating and fitting the ray attenuation rate of TTFields patches measured by accelerators.Using these models,3 kinds of radiotherapy plans were simulated and developed.Specifically,P1 simulated the conventional radiotherapy mode;P2 simulated the TTFields-combined radiotherapy mode(TTF-Com-RT),in which patients underwent radiotherapy using the P1 plan while wearing TTFields patches;and P3 simulated the TTFields-synchronized radiotherapy(TTF-Syn-RT)mode where the TTFields patches were worn throughout the entire radiotherapy process.The paired t-test was used to analyze dosimetric parameters such as target dose(D95),average scalp dose(D-skin),conformity index(CI)and homogeneity index(HI)in 3 plans(P1,P2,and P3),as well as the D95 and D-skin parameters for intensity-modulated radiotherapy(IMRT)and volumetric modulated arc therapy(VMAT)techniques in the P3 plan.Results The D95 simulated by P2 decreased by 1.35%as compared with P1(P<0.05),and the D95 simulated by P3 was 1.31%higher than that in P2(P<0.05).Compared with P1,P2 and P3 increased the D-skin by 12.56%and 14.30%,respectively(P<0.05),and the D-skin simulated by P3 increased by 1.55%as compared with P2(P<0.05).However,there were trivial differences in D95 between P3 and P1,CI and HI among all plans,D95 and D-skin between IMRT and VMAT techniques in P3 plan(P>0.05).Conclusion Based on GBM patient data,CT simulation images obtained from 3D-Print-TTFields combined with anthropomorphic phantom are artifact-free and meet radiotherapy requirements.The target and scalp dose differences between TTF-Com-RT and TTF-Syn-RT are less than 2%,and the dosimetric difference of TTF-Syn-RT using IMRT/VMAT techniques is insignificant.Therefore,clinicians can choose radiotherapy modes and techniques according to actual needs.

ObjectiveTo compare the clinical features of patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related early-onset liver cancer and those with late-onset liver cancer, to assess the severity of the disease, and to provide a theoretical basis for the early diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for 695 patients who were diagnosed with HBV-related liver cancer for the first time in Guangzhou Eighth People’s Hospital, Guangzhou Medical University, from January 2019 to August 2023, among whom 93 had early-onset liver cancer (defined as an age of50 years for female patients and40 years for male patients) and 602 had late-onset liver cancer (defined as an age of ≥50 years for female patients and ≥40 years for male patients). Related clinical data were collected, including demographic data, clinical symptoms at initial diagnosis, comorbidities, smoking history, drinking history, family history, routine blood test results, biochemical parameters of liver function, serum alpha-fetoprotein(AFP), virological indicators, coagulation function, and imaging findings. The pan-inflammatory indices neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) were calculated, as well as FIB-4 index, aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI), S index, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score, Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) score, albumin-bilirubin (AIBL) grade, and Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups, and the Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups; the chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test were used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. ResultsThere were significant differences between the two groups in the proportion of male patients and the incidence rates of diabetes, hypertension, and fatty liver disease (χ2=6.357, 15.230, 11.467, and 14.204, all P0.05), and compared with the late-onset liver cancer group, the early-onset liver cancer group had a significantly higher proportion of patients progressing to liver cancer without underlying cirrhosis (χ2=24.657, P0.001) and a significantly higher proportion of patients with advanced BCLC stage (χ2=6.172, P=0.046). For the overall population, the most common clinical symptoms included abdominal distension, abdominal pain, poor appetite, weakness, a reduction in body weight, edema of both lower limbs, jaundice, yellow urine, and nausea, and 55 patients (7.9%) had no obvious symptoms at the time of diagnosis and were found to have liver cancer by routine reexamination, physical examination suggesting an increase in AFP, or radiological examination indicating hepatic space-occupying lesion; compared with the late-onset liver cancer group, the patients in the early-onset liver cancer group were more likely to have the symptoms of abdominal distension, abdominal pain, and jaundice (all P0.05). Compared with the late-onset liver cancer group, the early-onset liver cancer group had a significantly larger tumor diameter (Z=2.845, P=0.034), with higher prevalence rates of multiple tumors and intrahepatic, perihepatic, or distant metastasis (χ2=5.889 and 4.079, both P0.05), and there were significant differences between the two groups in tumor location and size (χ2=3.948 and 11.317, both P0.05). Compared with the late-onset liver cancer group, the early-onset liver cancer group had significantly lower FIB-4 index, proportion of patients with HBsAg ≤1 500 IU/mL, and levels of LMR and Cr (all P0.05), as well as significantly higher positive rate of HBeAg and levels of log10 HBV DNA, AFP, WBC, Hb, PLT, NLR, PLR, TBil, ALT, Alb, and TC (all P0.05). ConclusionCompared with late-onset liver cancer, patients with early-onset liver cancer tend to develop liver cancer without liver cirrhosis and have multiple tumors, obvious clinical symptoms, and advanced BCLC stage, which indicates a poor prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the effect of peripheral white blood cell(WBC) count on adverse pregnancy outcomes.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on pregnant women who delivered at Minhang Hospital affiliated with Fudan University between January 2013 and June 2020. Demographic data, WBC counts, and diagnostic information on gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM), gestational hypertension, and preeclampsia/eclampsia were extracted from electronic medical records. Logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association between WBC counts in the first(WBC-1) and second trimesters(WBC-2) and metabolically related pregnancy outcomes.Results:A total of 24 143 pregnant women were included, with a mean age of(29.1±4.9) years and a mean pre-pregnancy body mass index(BMI) of(21.1±2.8) kg/m 2. The mean WBC counts in the first and second trimesters were 8.1×10 9/L and 8.9×10 9/L, respectively. The incidence rates of GDM, gestational hypertension, and preeclampsia/eclampsia were 5.6%, 4.8%, and 1.8%, respectively. After adjusting for relevant confounders, a core standard deviation( s) increase in WBC-1 was associated with a 6%, 18%, and 14% increased risk of GDM, gestational hypertension, and preeclampsia/eclampsia, respectively( P<0.001). Similarly, a one s increase in WBC-2 was associated with a 10% increased risk for all three adverse outcomes( P<0.001). Conclusion:Elevated peripheral WBC levels in the first and second trimesters are independently associated with increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, independent of traditional risk factors.

Objective:The aim was to analyze key indicators for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic hepatitis B(CHB),including virus detection rate,standardized treatment rate,and loss to follow-up rate,in order to provide a basis for optimizing diagnosis and treatment plans,improve the diagnosis and treatment level of CHB,and improve patient prognosis.Methods:Patients with CHB admitted to the Guangzhou Eighth People′s Hospital Affiliated to Guangzhou Medical University from January 2024 to January 2025 were enrolled. The datas were collected and organized using Excel. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 26.0 software,with a focus on evaluating core indicators such as virus detection rate,standardized treatment rate,and loss to follow-up rate.Results:The positive rate of hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg)in non-specific patients was 28.95%,the antiviral treatment rate in specialized patients was 90.78%,and the standardized antiviral drug conversion treatment rate in low-level viremia(LLV)patients was 61.45%. The standardized antiviral drug conversion treatment rates for high-risk patients with combined kidney/bone injuries were 72.75% and 74.40%,respectively. The overall dropout rate was 10.47%,with a dropout rate of 13.80% for LLV patients.Conclusions:The antiviral treatment coverage rates in CHB patients were over 90%,but in certain groups(such as LLV patients and those with kidney or bone injuries),the standardized treatment rates were still low and loss to follow-up rates were high,suggesting the need to improve HBV screening,treatment for special populations,and patient adherence.

Objective:A novel grass-root community screening and management model of hepatitis B was developed in order to improve the diagnosis and treatment rate of hepatitis B in Guangzhou city.Methods:A three-tier collaborative framework[tertiary hospitals-center for disease control and prevention(CDC)-primary care clinics]implemented dual-track screening(fixed-site+mobile units)using rapid hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg)testing and structured surveys. Digital closed-loop management integrated screening,referral,and follow-up. Data were analyzed via SPSS 26.0.Results:Among 30 012 community-dwelling adults screened(Male∶Female=1∶1.68),overall HBsAg positive rate was 5.21%(1 565/30 012),peaking in the 50-59-year cohort( χ2=271.80, P<0.001). Hepatitis B knowledge awareness was critically low(39.24%). Of 140 referred HBsAg-positive individuals,15 chronic carriers required no immediate antiviral therapy per guidelines. Treatment linkage surged from 32.8%(41/125)to 86.4%(108/125)post-intervention. aMAP hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)risk stratification(n=82)revealed low(36.6%),intermediate(32.9%),and high-risk(30.5%)profiles. Conclusions:This coordinated,digitally-enhanced strategy significantly improved hepatitis B detection and treatment access. However,persistent knowledge gaps underscore the imperative for targeted community education and adherence support.
