Acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fracture (ASOTLF) can lead to chronic low back pain, kyphosis deformity, pulmonary dysfunction, loss of mobility, and even life-threatening complications. Vertebral augmentation is currently the mainstream treatment method for this condition. In 2019, the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma and the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association collaboratively led the development of Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation for acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures. Six years later, with advances in clinical diagnosis and treatment techniques as well as accumulating evidence in related fields, the 2019 guideline requires updating. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, the Spinal Health Professional Committee of China Human Health Science and Technology Promotion Association, and the Minimally Invasive Orthopedics Professional Committee of Shaanxi Medical Doctor Association have organized experts in the field to develop the Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation of acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025) , based on the latest evidence-based medical researches. This guideline incorporates 3 recommendations retained from the 2019 version with updated strength of evidence, along with 12 new recommendations. It provides recommendations from six aspects of diagnosis, pain management, treatment option selection, prevention of postoperative complications, anti-osteoporosis therapy, and postoperative rehabilitation, aiming to provide a reference for standard treatment of vertebral augmentation for ASOTLF in hospitals at all levels.

Objective To analyze the latent classes of social alienation in colorectal cancer patients and further explore the influencing factors and cumulative effects of risk factors across different classes,thereby providing a reference for individualized interventions.Methods Convenience sampling was used to select colorectal cancer patients hospitalized in the gastrointestinal surgery and oncology departments of 3 tertiary-level hospitals in Shandong Province from January to June 2023 as the study subjects.A questionnaire survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire,Social Avoidance Scale,Social Anxiety Scale,UCLA Loneliness Scale,Sense of Coherence Scale,Family Cohesion Scale,and Social Support Rating Scale.Data analysis was performed using latent profile analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results A total of 292 questionnaires were distributed,with 270 valid responses collected,yielding a response rate of 92.47％.The results of the latent profile analysis indicated that social alienation among colorectal cancer patients could be categorized into 3 latent groups:the"low alienation group"(42.59％),the"high alienation-high social avoidance group"(14.08％),and the"moderate alienation-high social anxiety group"(43.33％).Results of logistic regression analysis revealed that employment status,stoma status,metastasis,sense of coherence,family cohesion,and social support were influencing factors across different categories.Moreover,a cumulative effect of sense of coherence,family cohesion,and social support on distinct categories was observed(P＜0.05).Conclusion Social alienation among colorectal cancer patients exhibits group heterogeneity.Healthcare professionals should identify the characteristic differences among patients,prioritise those with multiple risk factors,and develop targeted intervention measures to help them better integrate into society.

The prevalence of anti-HCV antibody was 28.35%, showing an overall upward trend from 2017 to 2023 (P<0.05). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that females (OR=1.468, 95%CI: 1.169-1.844), 40 years and over (40 to <50 years, OR=2.441, 95%CI: 1.838-3.242; 50 to <60 years, OR=2.377, 95%CI: 1.787-3.161; 60 to 97 years, OR=1.637, 95%CI: 1.163-2.304), using traditional drugs (OR=2.488, 95%CI: 1.967-3.147) or mixed drugs (OR=2.950, 95%CI: 1.974-4.409), having injected drugs (not share needles, OR=3.649, 95%CI: 2.849-4.673; share needles, OR=3.532, 95%CI: 1.851-6.738) and never using condoms during sexual contacts with spouses/cohabitants in the past year (OR=1.975, 95%CI: 1.354-2.879) were associated with a higher prevalence of anti-HCV antibody; the educational level of high school/technical secondary school (OR=0.483, 95%CI: 0.280-0.835) or college and above (OR=0.280, 95%CI: 0.129-0.608) was associated with a lower prevalence of anti-HCV antibody. Conclusions The prevalence of anti-HCV antibody among drug users in Baoshan District showed an upward trend from 2017 to 2023. Gender, age, educational level, type of drugs, history of drug injection and never using condoms during sexual contacts with spouses/cohabitants were influencing factors for prevalence of anti-HCV antibody among drug users.

Abstract In April 2021, type Ⅰ vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV) was detected from two fecal samples of a male infant with acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) in Zhejiang Province when he was admitted to the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University in Shanghai, with 12 and 14 nucleotide mutations in the VP1 region, respectively. The case had a history of immunization with three doses of poliovirus vaccines, and grade Ⅲ proximal muscle strength and grade Ⅱ distal muscle strength of the right lower limb. After symptomatic treatment, the activity of the right lower limb and the muscle strength was significantly restored, thus he was discharged. VDPV was not detected from subsequent (the 8th to 12th) fecal samples of the case and fecal samples of close contacts. No similar cases were found in medical institutions in the county, surrounding areas, neighboring villages or towns. Since the case did not exhibit clinical symptoms of poliomyelitis caused by VDPV, poliomyelitis was excluded, and the case was diagnosed with hemophilia type A based on the epidemiological investigation, laboratory tests, and the history of poliomyelitis vaccination. This event involved cross-provincial (municipal) cooperation and was responsed promptly, preventing further spread of the virus. It suggested that the sensitivity of the AFP case surveillance system should be maintained, environmental monitoring methods should be increased, and the poliomyelitis vaccination should be promoted to prevent the spread of the virus.

OBJECTIVE To observe the effect of the Chinese herbal compound Weidiao No.3 Formula(WD-3)combined with immunotherapy and chemotherapy on survival outcomes in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)with lung-spleen qi dificiency type.METHODS A total of 216 patients with stage Ⅲb-Ⅳ NSCLC without driver gene mutations and with lung-spleen qi vacuity pattern and admitted to the oncology departments of Wuxi Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Jiangnan Uni-versity Affiliated Hospital between January 1,2020,and March 1,2025,were enrolled.Based on whether they received WD-3 oral treatment(≥3 months),they were divided into a Chinese medicine exposure group(n=98;WD-3+immunotherapy combined with chemo-therapy)and a non-exposure group(n=118;immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy alone).Propensity score matching(PSM)was used to balance baseline characteristics.Overall survival(OS),progression-free survival(PFS),and baseline characteristics were com-pared between the two groups.Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to analyze the association between exposure and outcome,and sensitivity analysis was performed.RESULTS After PSM,there were no statistically significant differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups(P>0.05).After matching,the median OS(32.92 months)and median PFS(9.07 months)in the Chinese medicine exposure group were longer than those in the non-exposure group(23.24 months and 7.89 months,respectively),with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Multivariate analysis was conducted,incorporating age,PD-L1 expression,KPS score,pathological type,and other factors as covariates to assess the independent association between WD3 exposure and OS and PFS outcomes.The results indicated that WD3 exposure was statistically significant in reducing the risk of death(OS outcome)and disease progression(PFS outcome).Specifically,for the OS outcome,the HR was 0.626,with a 95%CI of 0.438 to 0.894,and P=0.01;for the PFS outcome,the HR was 0.721,with a 95%CI of 0.535 to 0.972,and P=0.032.Sensitivity analysis showed robust results(E-value>2.1).CONCLUSION WD-3 combined with immunotherapy and chemotherapy may prolong OS and PFS and reduce mortality risk in patients with advanced NSCLC without driver gene mutations and with lung-spleen qi dificiency type,achieves adequate therapeutic effects.

Mosquito-borne viruses,a class of pathogens primarily transmitted by mosquitoes,present severe glo-bal epidemics and pose serious threats to human health.These viruses rely on specific mosquito species for transmi-ssion,and their clinical manifestations vary from mild symptoms to severe complications.Most viruses lack effective treatment agents and vaccines.This review systematically describes the mechanisms of the mosquito-borne virus in-fection transmission,encompassing two key stages:host infection and mosquito infection.During the host infection stage,saliva components of mosquito promote viral invasion and systemic spread within the host by disrupting host hemostasis process,directly interacting with the virus,altering host cell function,and regulating local immune re-sponse,ultimately targeting specific organs and causing disease.During the mosquito infection stage,the targeting of mosquito is regulated by metabolites from host's skin microbiome.Host blood components and mosquito's gut microbiome exert bidirectional regulation in the infection in mosquito's midgut.The viruses break through the mid-gut barrier to enter the hemolymph and further infect the salivary glands.These mechanisms reveal the viruses' adaptive strategies within the host-mosquito ecosystem and emphasize the importance of multifactorial regulation.Future research should focus on molecular interventions,microbial applications,and integrated prevention and con-trol strategies to reduce the risk of mosquito-borne viral transmission.

Objective:To evaluate the impact of postoperative radiotherapy (RT) and associated risk factors on the prognosis of patients undergoing postmastectomy breast reconstruction (PMBR) for breast cancer.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 1593 breast cancer patients who underwent PMBR at Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute & Hospital between January 2010 and October 2023. Patients were divided into an RT group ( n = 351) and a non-RT group ( n =1242) based on whether postoperative radiotherapy was administered. The primary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), and the secondary endpoint was the incidence of revision surgery. Propensity score matching (PSM) and inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) were used for pairing. Continuous variables were compared between the two groups using the independent samples t-tests, while categorical variables were compared using chi-square tests, and survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze survival influencing factors, and include propensity factors with P<0.2 in univariate analysis into multivariate analysis. Results:In the RT group, there were 3 deaths (0.9%) and 21 cases of disease progression (6.0%); in the non-RT group, 7 patients died (0.56%) and 40 experienced disease progression (3.22%). The median OS was 20.1 months (range: 0.1-164.9), and the median PFS was 19.5 months (range: 0.1-160.9). Pregnancy-associated breast cancer and higher N stage were identified as significant risk factors for OS, while neoadjuvant therapy, absence of adjuvant chemotherapy or endocrine therapy, and higher T stage were significant risk factors affecting patients' PFS. Radiotherapy significantly reduced the survival risk for PMBR patients with pregnancy-associated breast cancer or those receiving neoadjuvant therapy ( P=0.019, 0.027). Compared with other reconstruction methods, implant-based reconstruction was associated with a lower incidence of postmastectomy revision surgery(10.5% vs. 17.0%, P<0.001). Even after radiotherapy, the revision surgery incidence for implant-based reconstruction remained lower than that of other methods (12.2% vs. 14.2%, P=0.591). Compared with other reconstruction types, expander-based reconstruction was associated with an increased incidence of revision surgery (31.9% vs. 10.9%, P<0.001). Conclusions:Postmastectomy radiotherapy can reduce survival risk in PMBR patients with pregnancy-associated breast cancer or who received neoadjuvant therapy, showing positive effects on OS and PFS in high-risk patients. Pregnancy, higher T/N stage, and specific treatment strategies are critical factors influencing the prognosis of PMBR patients. Implant-based reconstruction is associated with a lower incidence of revision surgery, which remains low even after RT, whereas expander-based reconstruction may increase the long-term risk of revision surgery.
