In situ tumor vaccine has become an important strategy in cancer immunotherapy owing to its ability to induce immune responses locally and overcome tumor heterogeneity. However, the abnormal structure and mechanical properties of the tumor’s physical microenvironment significantly limit the efficiency of vaccine delivery and immune efficacy. In this review, the key factors in the tumor’s physical microenvironment, including solid pressure, interstitial fluid pressure, matrix stiffness, and tissue microstructure, are systematically discussed. Their obstructive roles in immune cell infiltration, antigen presentation, and immune activation are analyzed. The potential of approaches, such as radiotherapy, anti-angiogenic therapy, extracellular matrix degradation agents, nanomaterials, and hydrogel delivery platforms, in reshaping the tumor’s physical microenvironment is explored. This review aims to offer theoretical and practical guidance for optimizing in situ vaccine strategies through the regulation of the tumor’s physical microenvironment, ultimately advancing the precision and effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy.

Objective: To explore the factors affecting language development delay among children aged <3 years, so as to provide a basis for the prevention and early intervention of children's language development problems. Methods: Eighty-one children aged <3 years with language development delay who visited the children's language development clinic of Shaoxing Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January to December 2024 as the case group. Meanwhile, 118 children who underwent routine physical examinations at the children's health clinic during the same period, had normal language development were randomly selected as the control group. Data on children's basic information, parenting environment, and screen exposure were collected through questionnaire surveys. Language development delay was assessed using the Early Language Milestone Scale and the Gesell Developmental Diagnosis Scale. The factors for language development delay were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: The case group comprised 81 children, including 56 boys (69.14%) and 25 girls (30.86%), with a mean age of (23.14±4.84) months. The control group consisted of 118 children, including 81 boys (68.64%) and 37 girls (31.36%), with a mean age of (23.81±4.60) months. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that daily parental companionship time of ≥2 hours (OR=0.121, 95%CI: 0.040-0.367), attending childcare institutions (OR=0.103, 95%CI: 0.030-0.352), the average daily screen exposure time <1 hour (OR=0.614, 95%CI: 0.400-0.942), interactive parental accompaniment during screen exposure (OR=0.350, 95%CI: 0.157-0.779), and restricting screen exposure time (OR=0.162, 95%CI: 0.056-0.470) were associated with a lower risk of language development delay among children aged <3 years. Conclusion Daily paternal companionship of 2 hours or more, attending childcare institutions, daily screen exposure time of less than 1 hour, interactive parental companionship during screen time, and limiting screen exposure time can reduce the risk of language developmental delay among children aged under 3 years.

In recent years,enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS)has been widely used in clinical practice,aiming to optimize perioperative management measures through evidence-based medicine and reduce the physical and mental trauma,stress reactions,and complications of surgical patients through multidisciplinary collaboration.This paper examined the clinical practice of ERAS from the perspective of medical humanities,reviewed its development and characteristics,and first pointed out that the concept of"minimal harm"laid the medical humanities foundation for ERAS.However,the concept of"minimum harm"faced ethical and realistic challenges in practice,such as differentiated cognition between benefits and non-harm,the tension between generalization and personalization,and the gap between rehabilitation continuity and family care.This paper led into the caregiving perspective of social sciences,proposed"optimal care"as a supplement to the medical humanities concept of ERAS,and introduced its connotation and practice.The combination of"minimal harm"and"optimal care"can provide theoretical guidance for medical humanistic care in ERAS and innovate the practical path of medical humanities into clinical practice.

However， the concept of “minimum harm” faced ethical and realistic challenges in practice， such as differentiated cognition between benefits and non-harm， the tension between generalization and personalization， and the gap between rehabilitation continuity and family care. This paper led into the caregiving perspective of social sciences， proposed “optimal care” as a supplement to the medical humanities concept of ERAS， and introduced its connotation and practice. The combination of “minimal harm” and “optimal care” can provide theoretical guidance for medical humanistic care in ERAS and innovate the practical path of medical humanities into clinical practice.

The emerging and re-emerging arthropod-borne infectious diseases pose a serious threat to global public health security. Field and laboratory studies of arthropods of medical importance are essential and critical for the prevention and control of arthropod-borne infectious diseases. Various institutions or universities in China have been conducting research in the field or laboratory study of arthropods of medical importance, but up to 2023, it is still lacking detailed biosafety guidelines or recommendations that can guide the related work for arthropods of medical importance. In order to proactively address potential biosafety issues in the field or laboratory activities related to arthropods of medical importance, improve the standardization of arthropod biosafety classification, operations, and protection, and ensure the safety of practitioners, an expert consensus on the biosafety recommendation of arthropods of medical importance in field and laboratory has been developed, aiming to guide the future work of arthropods and ensure the national biosafety and biosecurity of China.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of Cryptosporidium infection and the distribution of parasite species and genotypes among HIV-positive individuals in Jiangxi Province. Methods HIV-positive individuals' sociodemographic and clinical data were collected from three AIDS designated hospitals in Jiangxi Province from January 2022 to March 2023. Subjects' stool samples were collected, and genomic DNA was extracted from stool samples. Nested PCR assay was performed based on the small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) gene of Cryptosporidium, and Cryptosporidium gp60 gene was amplified in stool samples positive for the SSU rRNA gene. The second-round PCR amplification product was checked with 1.5% agarose gel electrophoresis, and the products of suspected positive amplifications were sequenced, followed by sequence alignment. The phylogenetic tree was created using the Neighbor-Joining method with the software MEGA 11.0, to characterize the species, genotypes and sub-genotypes of Cryptosporidium. Results A total of 382 HIV-positive individuals were enrolled, with two cases identified with Cryptosporidium infection (0.52% prevalence), and both cases had no abdominal pain or diarrhea. Following sequencing and sequence alignment, the gene sequences of these two Cryptosporidium isolates shared 99.76% and 99.88% similarity with the gene sequence of C. meleagridis isolates. Phylogenetic analysis based on the Cryptosporidium SSU rRNA gene sequence identified the species of these two Cryptosporidium-positive stool samples as C. meleagridis. Following nested PCR amplification of the Cryptosporidium gp60 gene, sequencing and sequence alignment, the two C. meleagridis isolates were characterized as III eA17G2R1 and III bA25G1R1a sub-genotypes, and the sub-genotype III bA25G1R1a was firstly described in humans. Conclusion The prevalence of Cryptosporidium is low among HIV-positive individuals in Jiangxi Province. The likelihood of Cryptosporidium infection cannot be neglected among HIV-positive individuals without diarrhea.
