Objective:To establish a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for accurate determination of plasma Lyso-GL-3 concentration.Method:Solid phase extraction technology was used to process plasma samples, and under positive ion mode and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) conditions, LC-MS/MS was used to determine the concentration of Lyso-GL-3. The linear range, detection and quantification limits, accuracy, precision, matrix effect, carrier effect of the method, and plasma sample stability were validated. And the accuracy of Lyso-GL-3 positive patients was compared by combining enzymatic and genetic testing results.Result:Lyso-GL-3 had good linearity in the range of 1.25-400 nmol/L. The detection limit and quantification limit were 0.15 nmol/L and 0.50 nmol/L, respectively. The spiked recovery rate was 88.78%-108.96%. The coefficient of variation ( CV) for intra batch precision, inter batch precision, and matrix effect were all less than 15%, the result of carrier effect was 0.55%. Plasma samples could be stably stored for 30 days under refrigeration conditions. The clinical conformity of the patient was 100%. Conclusion:The established LC-MS/MS detection method for plasma Lyso-GL-3 concentration takes 2.5 minutes, which is simple, fast, accurate, and reliable.

Cervical spinal cord injury without fracture-dislocation (CSCIWFD) is referred to as a special type of cervical spinal cord injury characterized by traumatic spinal cord dysfunction and no significant bony structural abnormalities on imagines. Duo to the high risk of missed diagnosis during the initial consultation, CSCIWFD may lead to progressive neurological deterioration or even complete paralysis, severely impacting patients′ prognosis. Currently, there are no established consensuses over the diagnosis and treatment of CSCIWFD, such as the lack of evidence-based standards for indications of non-surgical treatment and risk of secondary neurological injury, as well as debates over the optimal timing for surgical intervention and indications for different surgical approaches. To address these issues, the Spine Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the relevant fields to formulate Diagnosis and treatment guideline for acute cervical spinal cord injury without fracture- dislocation in adults ( version 2025) . Based on evidence-based medicine and the principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability, the guidelines proposed 11 recommendations covering terminology, diagnosis, evaluation treatment, and rehabilitation, etc., aiming to standardize the management of CSCIWFD.

Postoperative infection of internal fixation of closed fractures the lower limbs in adults represents a devastating complication, characterized by diagnostic challenges, prolonged treatment duration and high disability rates. Current management of these infections faces multiple challenges, such as difficulties in early accurate diagnosis, and various controversies about the treatment plan, leading to poor overall diagnosis and treatment results. To address these issues, based on evidence-based medicine and principles with emphasis on scientific rigor, clinical applicability and innovation, the Trauma Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Orthopedics Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Trauma Orthopedics and Polytrauma Group of the Resuscitation and Emergency Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association have collaboratively organized a panel of relevant experts to develop the Guideline for diagnosis and treatment of infection after internal fixation of closed lower limb fractures in adults ( version 2025). The guideline proposed 10 recommendations, aiming to provide a foundation for standardized diagnosis and treatment of postoperative infection in adults with closed lower limb fractures.

Vertebral refracture following percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) is commonly seen in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures (OTLCF). It can lead to recurrent pain, loss of vertebral height, progression of kyphosis, and even neurological dysfunction, significantly impairing patients′ quality of life. Current diagnosis and treatment face multiple challenges, including high misdiagnosis rate, difficulty in choosing between surgical and non-surgical treatment options, lack of standardized surgical protocols, interference from intralesional bone cement during procedures, inadequate stability of internal fixation in osteoporotic bone, and suboptimal compliance of anti-osteoporotic therapy. Establishing a standardized diagnostic and therapeutic framework is urgently needed. To standardize the management process and improve outcomes for vertebral refractures after PVA in elderly OTLCF patients, Spinal Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the field to develop Guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of vertebral refracture after percutaneous vertebral augmentation in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025), based on current literature and clinical experience, and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability. A total of 11 recommendations were proposed, encompassing diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of vertebral refracture after PVA in elderly patients with OTLCF, aiming to provide a foundation for a standardized management.

Objective:To analyze the synergistic relationship between financing and payment systems in China's urban employee basic medical insurance under the background of aging,providing decision-making basis for promoting coordinated development of these two systems.Methods:Based on statistical yearbook data from medical security systems,the Delphi method was employed to identify collaborative analysis indicators for urban employee medical insurance financing and payment under the aging population context.A collaborative theory-based model was constructed to measure the coordination degree of China's urban employee medical insurance financing and payment composite system,while simultaneously assessing the orderliness of the financing and payment system and the coordination degree of the composite system.Results:The order degree of the financing system ranged from 0.324 in 2019 to 0.517 in 2023;the order degree of the payment system ranged from 0.454 in 2019 to 0.517 in 2023;the synergy degree of both systems reached-0.084 in 2023.Conclusions:Influenced by aging,the development speed and scale of China's urban employee basic medical insurance financing system and payment system are asynchronous,with the payment system being more affected than the financing system,resulting in a non-coordinated and disordered development state of the composite financing-payment system.

Objective:To analyze and confirm the ambiguous results of HLA-DRB1 genotyping in one case.Methods:HLA genotyping was performed on a sample of hematopoietic stem cell donor using Illumina MiSeq-based next-generation sequencing(NGS).The ambiguous results of HLA-DRB1 locus were further analyzed and confirmed through PacBio SMRT third-generation sequencing.Results:The Illumina MiSeq-based NGS typing results suggested the presence of a new HLA-DRB1*11 allele(DRB1*11:NEW,12:01)in the specimen,with a mismatch of G＞A located in the 40th residue of exon 1 compared with the nearest allele DRB1*11:01:01:03.However,due to the long sequence of intron 1,this observed mutation site was so far away from the near heterozygous sites that no reads could cover this gap.Therefore,it was impossible to determine which consensus the mutation site was located in,and the NGS-based genotyping results were obtained from the random allocation by the software,which was ambiguous and unreliable.In order to confirm the results,the long-read third generation sequencing technology based on PacBio was applied to genotype the DRB1 locus.The results showed that the DRB1 typing was HLA-DRB1*11:01,12:10.E1-40A was actually located in the allele HLA-DRB1*12:XX,which was exactly matched with HLA-DRB1*12:10.Conclusion:For some new alleles suggested by NGS,especially the ambiguous ones that are far away from other heterozygous sites,it is necessary to analyze and confirm them by other methods such as the third-generation long-read sequencing technology to obtain reliable results.

Objective To investigate and compare the epidemiological characteristics of common respiratory viruses among influenza-like illness(ILI)and severe acute respiratory infection(SARI)cases in Huzhou,Zhejiang Province before and after the COVID-19 pandemic,so as to provide a basis for formulating and adjusting the prevention and control strategies for viral respiratory infectious diseases.Methods ILI and SARI cases at two influenza surveillance sentinel hospitals in Huzhou and had throat swab samples collected during Nov 2017 to Feb 2020(pre-COVID-19 pandemic period)and Dec 2022 to Apr 2024(post-COVID-19 mitigation phase)were selected as the participants.Seven common viral respiratory pathogens were tested,including influenza A virus(H1N1 and H3N2 subtypes),influenza B virus(Victoria lineage,FluB),respiratory syncytial virus(RSV),rhinovirus(HRV),adenovirus(ADV),and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2(SARS-CoV-2).The positive rates of respiratory pathogens before and after the COVID-19 pandemic were compared across different age groups and different time.Results A total of 7 948 ILI samples and 2 294 SARI samples were included.The overall positive rate of ILI samples increased from 33.6%to 47.1%,primarily due to the increase in influenza and COVID-19 infections;the overall positive rate of SARI samples decreased from 31.4%to 24.8%,mainly due to the reduction in HRV and ADV infections.During the post-COVID-19 mitigation phase,SARS-CoV-2(22.1%),H3N2(12.7%),and FluB(6.0%)were the primary pathogens in ILI samples,while RSV(7.1%),H3N2(5.3%),and HRV(4.5%)dominated in SARI samples.During the post-COVID-19 mitigation phase,the influenza virus circulation period was shortened.Before the COVID-19 pandemic,RSV was mainly detected in autumn and winter,while during the post-COVID-19 mitigation phase,out-of-season RSV epidemics were observed in spring and summer.Co-infection rate in ILI cases increased significantly in the post-COVID-19 mitigation phase,predominantly consisting of co-infections of COVID-19 and influenza A virus,while co-infection rate in SARI cases showed a decline.Conclusion We found important epidemiological changes in respiratory viruses in Huzhou during the post-COVID-19 mitigation phase compared to pre-COVID-19 period,including increased positive rates of influenza and COVID-19,and disruptions to the seasonal patterns of influenza and RSV.The prevention and control strategies should be adjusted in a timely manner based on the monitoring data.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the current financing status of Beijing's urban and rural residents'basic medical insurance,analyze equity disparities among different groups under the existing flat-rate financing policy.By simulating the equity changes of various financing schemes with different contribution rates,this study aims to provide foundations for advancing medical insurance financing system reform.Methods:Based on the per capita disposable income and number of insured residents in Beijing's 16 districts from 2018 to 2023,we separately calculated the Gini coefficient,concentration index,and Kakwani index,along with their changes before and after financing adjustments,to assess the funding burden among different insured groups.Using the geometric mean method,we projected per capita disposable income and insured populations for each district in Beijing from 2024 to 2035,simulating various financing schemes under different premium rate systems.Results:From 2018 to 2023,the Gini coefficient of net income after financing consistently exceeded that of original income before financing.The concentration index remained positive and showed an upward trend,while the Kakwani index was negative for all periods.The Gini coefficient after financing slightly decreased for the elderly and working populations with fiscal subsidy support,whereas it remained higher than that for students and children.Under the simulated differentiated rate system,the post-funding Gini coefficient for 2024-2035 was lower than the original value,and the Kakwani index was positive.Conclusions:The current fixed-amount financing mechanism for urban and rural residents'basic medical insurance exhibits regressive characteristics and insufficient fairness,with disparities in equity among different insured groups.It is necessary to establish differentiated financing standards based on differential rates,particularly implementing a financing mechanism with dynamic adjustments according to regional and group income levels,to enhance the fairness of financing for urban and rural residents'basic medical insurance.

In recent decades,the incidence of human papillomavirus(HPV)-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma(OPSCC)has shown a marked increase.Significant changes have also occurred in the OPSCC diagnosis and treatment paradigm.Deter-mining HPV status prior to treatment is now essential,and radiotherapy/chemotherapy,immunotherapy,and minimally invasive surgical techniques have progressively emerged as key modalities for managing OPSCC.However,alongside these paradigm shifts,a comprehen-sive technical consensus guiding the entire diagnostic and therapeutic process for OPSCC patients is currently lacking.Given China's large population base and the rising incidence of OPSCC,an expert panel convened to develop a clinical technical consensus on OPSCC diagno-sis and management tailored to China's specific context.This consensus aims to further enhance and standardize understanding of OPSCC management techniques among relevant healthcare professionals.

Objective:To investigate the incidence of shoulder work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among occupational population in China, and to explore their intrinsic association with personal and work-related factors.Methods:In April 2024, 73497 valid questionnaires of the Chinese version of the Musculoskeletal Disorders Electronic Questionnaire were retrospectively analyzed from June 2018 to December 2023 in 22 provinces and 29 key industries in China, and the general information, occurrence of WMSDs and related risk factors of key occupational populations in different regions in China were collected. By using Chi-square test and confirmatory factor analysis, the relationship between shoulder fatigue and pain in key occupational groups and individual factors, work type, work posture and work organization was discussed, and the internal relationship was analyzed based on structural equation model.Results:Higher incidence of shoulder fatigue and pain were associated with female, lack of physical exercise, uncomfortable working posture and neck leaning forward ( P<0.05). Structural equation model analysis showed that work type, work posture and work organization were strongly correlated ( r=0.58, 0.55). Work organization and work type were strongly correlated with shoulder fatigue ( r=0.65) and moderately correlated with shoulder fatigue ( r=0.21). Shoulder fatigue was moderately associated with shoulder pain ( r=0.40). Individual factors, work type, work posture and shoulder fatigue could directly affect shoulder pain ( OR=0.07, -0.09, 0.17 and 0.40), and work type and work posture could also indirectly affect shoulder pain through shoulder fatigue ( OR=0.08, 0.03). Work organization only indirectly affected shoulder pain through shoulder fatigue ( OR=0.26) . Conclusion:The main influencing factor of shoulder pain is shoulder fatigue, followed by work posture and individual factors. Structural equation model can better reflect the complex relationship between work type, work posture and work organization and shoulder WMSDs. Improving work posture and work organization may be an effective way to control the influence of shoulder fatigue on shoulder pain.
