ObjectiveTo investigate the status and influencing factors of the continuity of care needs in patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysm hemorrhage. MethodsFrom January, 2022 to April, 2025, 121 patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysm hemorrhage admitted to the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University were selected. A questionnaire survey was conducted using general information questionnaire and continuity of care needs questionnaire. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of continuity of care needs. ResultsA total of 121 questionnaires were distributed, with 115 returned (95.04%). The scores of continuity of care needs were with an average score of (100.54±6.97). Statistically significant differences were observed in scores of continuity of care needs among patients with different ages, education levels, primary family caregivers, preoperative Hunt-Hess grades, number of comorbid diseases, whether they received postoperative rehabilitation training and availability of nearby healthcare services (|F| > 8.104, |t| > 2.651, P < 0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that education level, primary family caregiver, preoperative Hunt-Hess grade, number of comorbid diseases and availability of nearby healthcare services were all influencing factors for the continuity of care needs in patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysm hemorrhage (|t| > 1.703, P < 0.05). ConclusionThe need for continuous care in patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms is influenced by factors such as educational level, primary family caregivers, preoperative Hunt-Hess grade, number of comorbid diseases and accessibility to nearby healthcare services. Medical staff should comprehensively consider patients' specific conditions and actual needs to provide targeted continuous care services.

ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological characteristics of a local dengue fever cluster outbreak in Qingpu District of Shanghai in 2024, and to provide a reference for subsequent dengue fever prevention and control. MethodsSeven confirmed local dengue fever cases reported through the National Notifiable Infectious Diseases Surveillance System in Qingpu District of Shanghai in 2024 were selected as the research subjects. Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to conduct investigation and analysis from the aspects of onset, medical treatment and reporting, clinical symptoms, travel and contact history within 15 days before onset, and activity trajectories. ResultsA total of 7 cases were identified in this outbreak. None of the cases had a travel history to dengue-endemic areas within 15 days prior to onset, while all had shared exposure environments and mosquito bite histories, indicating a local clustered transmission pattern. The main clinical manifestations included fever (100.00%) and myalgia (42.86%). All 7 cases were positive for dengue virus serotype 2 (DENV-2) by nucleic acid testing. Genetic sequencing showed that the virus strains belonged to the Cosmopolitan genotype and were most closely related to the epidemic DENV strains circulating in southern China in recent years. ConclusionThis outbreak might be a local secondary infection caused by the short-term stay of dengue fever-infected individuals, and the possible source of importation was dengue fever endemic areas in southern China.

Objective: This study employs metabolomics to analyze the characteristic biomarkers and metabolic pathways in the serum of pregnant women with positive thyroid peroxidase antibodies(TPOAb) during early pregnancy. The objective is to explore the relationship between thyroid dysfunction and maternal-fetal health. Methods : Early-pregnancy women undergoing antenatal check-ups for thyroid function and antibody testing at our hospital were selected. According to the TPOAb results, participants were categorized into a TPOAb-positive group and a TPOAb-negative group. The serum metabolic profiles were analyzed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS) technology to identify differences between the two groups. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) database was utilized for metabolic pathway enrichment analysis of differential metabolites. Results : A total of 79 significantly different metabolites were identified in the serum of TPOAb-positive pregnant women compared to the control group, including 20 upregulated and 59 downregulated metabolites. KEGG enrichment analysis indicated that these differential metabolites were mainly involved in 21 key metabolic pathways. Among the metabolites associated with TPOAb, 31 were identified, with 6 showing positive correlation and 25 showing negative correlation. Metabolic pathway enrichment analysis revealed that these differential metabolites were closely related to Glycerophospholipid metabolism, Valine, leucine and isoleucine biosynthesis, Glycosylphosphatidylinositol(GPI)-anchor biosynthesis, and Glycerolipid metabolism pathways. Conclusion Significant differences in metabolites and their associated metabolic pathways are identified in the serum of TPOAb-positive pregnant women during early gestation, indicating that these metabolite alterations are closely linked to thyroid dysfunction and maternal-fetal health.

Objective To investigate the application effect of postural gravity traction combined with floss and titanium clip pulley external traction in endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD)for early intestinal lesions.Methods A total of 100 patients with early colorectal lesions admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University from January 2022 to September 2024 were selected as the research subjects and divided in-to the observation group and the control group,with 50 cases in each group.The control group underwent con-ventional intestinal ESD treatment,while the observation group used positional gravity traction combined with dental floss and titanium clips to form pulley external traction in ESD treatment.Clinical data including opera-tion time,number of submucosal injections,intraoperative blood loss,lesion resection effect,complication inci-dence,and hospital stay were compared between the two groups.Results The total operation time in the ob-servation group was shorter than that in the control group,and the total number of submucosal injections was less than that in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).There were no signifi-cant differences in intraoperative blood loss,complete resection rate,complication incidence,en bloc resection rate,and hospital stay between the two groups(P>0.05).For lesions≤1 cm or>5 cm in size,there were no significant differences in operation time,complete resection rate and en bloc resection rate between the two groups(P>0.05).For lesions>1-3 cm or>3-5 cm in size and laterally spreading lesions,significant differences were observed in operation time,number of submucosal injections,complete resection rate,and en bloc resection rate between the two groups(P<0.05).For pedunculated polyps,there were no significant differences in the number of submucosal injections,complete resection rate and en bloc resection rate between the two groups(P>0.05),but the operation time differed significantly(P<0.05).Conclusion Postural gravity traction combined with dental floss and titanium clip to form pulley external traction is simple to oper-ate in ESD for early intestinal lesions.It can maintain a clear field of view,shorten operation time,reduce the incidence of complications,and is safe and effective.

Hypoxic-ischemic (HI) brain damage poses a high risk of death or lifelong disability, yet effective treatments remain elusive. Here, we demonstrated that miR-100-5p levels in the lesioned cortex increased after HI insult in neonatal mice. Knockdown of miR-100-5p expression in the brain attenuated brain injury and promoted functional recovery, through inhibiting the cleaved-caspase-3 level, microglia activation, and the release of proinflammation cytokines following HI injury. Engineered extracellular vesicles (EVs) containing neuron-targeting rabies virus glycoprotein (RVG) and miR-100-5p antagonists (RVG-EVs-Antagomir) selectively targeted brain lesions and reduced miR-100-5p levels after intranasal delivery. Both pre- and post-HI administration showed therapeutic benefits. Mechanistically, we identified protein phosphatase 3 catalytic subunit alpha (Ppp3ca) as a novel candidate target gene of miR-100-5p, inhibiting c-Fos expression and neuronal apoptosis following HI insult. In conclusion, our non-invasive method using engineered EVs to deliver miR-100-5p antagomirs to the brain significantly improves functional recovery after HI injury by targeting Ppp3ca to suppress neuronal apoptosis.

Hydropic ear disease is an otological disease caused by hydrops in the labyrinth of the inner ear membrane. According to the medical history and imaging classification system, it is mainly divided into two types: primary hydropic ear disease and secondary hydropic ear disease. The clinical manifestations vary depending on the anatomical localization of hydrops. Cochlear endolymphatic hydrops can lead to hearing loss, tinnitus, and ear fullness. Vestibular endolymphatic hydrops can cause dizziness, vertigo, nausea, vomiting, and gait instability. A number of studies on magnetic resonance imaging of hydropic ear disease have been carried out globally and relevant results have been obtained. This article reviews the research advances of magnetic resonance imaging of hydropic ear disease.

Cuproptosis, a recently discovered form of regulated cell death involving copper ion metabolism, has emerged as a promising approach for tumor therapy. This pathway not only directly eliminates tumor cells but also promotes immunogenic cell death (ICD), reshaping the tumor microenvironment (TME) and initiating robust anti-tumor immune responses. However, translating cuproptosis-based therapies into clinical applications is hindered by challenges, including complex metabolic regulation, TME heterogeneity, and the precision required for effective drug delivery. To address these limitations, nanoparticles offer transformative solutions by providing precise delivery of cuproptosis-inducing agents, controlled drug release, and enhanced therapeutic efficacy through simultaneous modulation of metabolic pathways and immune responses. This review systematically discusses recent advancements in nanoparticle-based cuproptosis delivery systems, highlighting nanoparticle design principles and their synergistic effects when integrated with other therapeutic modalities such as ICB, PTT, and CDT. Furthermore, we explore the potential of cuproptosis-based nanomedicine for personalized cancer treatment by emphasizing strategies for TME stratification and therapeutic optimization tailored to patient profiles. By integrating current insights from metabolic reprogramming, tumor immunotherapy, and nanotechnology, this review aims to facilitate the clinical translation of cuproptosis nanomedicine and significantly contribute to the advancement of precision oncology.

Traditional development of small protein scaffolds has relied on display technologies and mutation-based engineering, which limit sequence and functional diversity, thereby constraining their therapeutic and application potential. Protein design tools have significantly advanced the creation of novel protein sequences, structures, and functions. However, further improvements in design strategies are still needed to more efficiently optimize the functional performance of protein-based drugs and enhance their druggability. Here, we extended an evolution-based design protocol to create a novel minibinder, BindHer, against the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). It not only exhibits super stability and binding selectivity but also demonstrates remarkable properties in tissue specificity. Radiolabeling experiments with ^99mTc, ⁶⁸Ga, and ¹⁸F revealed that BindHer efficiently targets tumors in HER2-positive breast cancer mouse models, with minimal nonspecific liver absorption, outperforming scaffolds designed through traditional engineering. These findings highlight a new rational approach to automated protein design, offering significant potential for large-scale applications in therapeutic mini-protein development.
