Objective:We aimed to develop a novel visualized model based on nomogram to predict postoperative overall survival.Methods:This was a multicenter, retrospective, observational cohort study, including participants with histologically confirmed gastric and colorectal cancer who underwent radical surgery from 11 medical centers in China from August 1, 2015 to June 30, 2018. Baseline characteristics, histopathological data and nutritional status, as assessed using Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) score and the scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment, were collected. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression and Cox regression were used to identify variables to be included in the predictive model. Internal and external validations were performed.Results:There were 681 and 127 patients in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. A total of 188 deaths were observed over a median follow-up period of 59 (range: 58 to 60) months. Two independent predictors of NRS 2002 and Tumor-Node-Metastasis (TNM) stage were identified and incorporated into the prediction nomogram model together with the factor of age. The model's concordance index for 1-, 3- and 5-year overall survival was 0.696, 0.724, and 0.738 in the training cohort and 0.801, 0.812, and 0.793 in the validation cohort, respectively.Conclusions:In this study, a new nomogram prediction model based on NRS 2002 score was developed and validated for predicting the overall postoperative survival of patients with gastric colorectal cancer. This model has good differentiation, calibration and clinical practicability in predicting the long-term survival rate of patients with gastrointestinal cancer after radical surgery.

Objective:To investigate the prognosis and the factors that influence it in patients with non-gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) who are at low risk of recurrence.Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study. Clinicopathologic and prognostic data from patients with non-gastric GISTs and at low risk of recurrence (i.e., very low-risk or low-risk according to the 2008 version of the Modified NIH Risk Classification), who attended 18 medical centers in China between January 2000 and June 2023, were collected. We excluded patients with a history of prior malignancy, concurrent primary malignancy, multiple GISTs, and those who had received preoperative imatinib. The study cohort comprised 1,571 patients with GISTs, 370 (23.6%) of whom were at very low-risk and 1,201 (76.4%) at low-risk of recurrence. The cohort included 799 (50.9%) men and 772 (49.1%) women of median age 57 (16–93) years. Patients were followed up to July 2024. The prognosis and its influencing factors were analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic curves for tumor diameter and Ki67 were established, and the sensitivity, specificity, area under the curve (AUC) and optimal cut-off value with 95% confidence intervals were calculated. Propensity score matching was implemented using the 1:1 nearest neighbor matching method with a matching tolerance of 0.02.Results:With a median follow-up of 63 (12–267) months, the 5- and 10-year overall survival (OS) rates of the 1,571 patients were 99.5% and 98.0%, respectively, and the 5- and 10-year disease-free survival (DFS) rates were 96.3% and 94.4%, respectively. During postoperative follow-up, 3.8% (60/1,571) patients had disease recurrence or metastasis, comprising 0.8% (3/370) in the very low-risk group and 4.7% (57/1,201) in the low-risk group. In the low-risk group, recurrence or metastasis occurred in 5.5% (25/457) of patients with duodenal GISTs, 3.9% (25/645) of those with small intestinal GISTs, 9.2% (6/65) of those with rectal GISTs, and 10.0% (1/10) of those with colonic GISTs. Among the 60 patients with metastases, 56.7% (34/60) of the metastases were located in the abdominal cavity, 53.3% (32/60) in the liver, and 3.3% (2/60) in bone. During the follow-up period, 13 patients (0.8%) died of disease. Receiver operating characteristic curves were plotted for tumor diameter and Ki67 and assessed using the Jordon index. This showed that the difference in DFS between the two groups was statistically significant when the cutoff value for tumor diameter was 3.5 cm (AUC 0.731, 95% CI: 0.670–0.793, sensitivity 77.7%, specificity 64.1%). Furthermore, the difference in DFS between the two groups was statistically significant when the cutoff value for Ki67 was 5% (AUC 0.693, 95% CI: 0.624–0.762, sensitivity 60.7%, specificity 65.3%). Multifactorial analysis revealed that tumor diameter ≥3.5 cm, Ki67 ≥5%, and R1 resection were independent risk factors for DFS in patients with non-gastric GISTs at low risk of recurrence (all P<0.05). Furthermore, age >57 years, Ki67 ≥5%, and R1 resection were also independent risk factors for OS in patients with non-gastric GISTs at low risk of recurrence (all P<0.05). We also grouped the patients according to whether they had received postoperative adjuvant treatment with imatinib for 1 or 3 years. This yielded 137 patients in the less than 1-year group, 139 in the 1-year plus group; and 44 in both the less than 3 years and 3-years plus group. After propensity score matching for age, tumor diameter, Ki67, and resection status, the differences in survival between the two groups were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The 10-year DFS and OS were 87.5% and 95.5%, respectively, in the group treated with imatinib for less than 1 year and 88.5% and 97.8%, respectively, in the group treated for more than 1 year. The 10-year DFS and OS were 89.6% and 92.6%, respectively, in the group treated with imatinib for less than 3 years and 88.0% and 100.0%, respectively, in the group treated with imatinib for more than 3 years. Conclusion:The overall prognosis of primary, non-gastric, low recurrence risk GISTs is relatively favorable; however, recurrences and metastases do occur. Age, tumor diameter, Ki67, and R1 resection may affect the prognosis. For some patients with low risk GISTs, administration of adjuvant therapy with imatinib for an appropriate duration may help prevent recurrence and improve survival.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of eosinophilic lung diseases(ELD) in children to enhance pediatricians′ understanding of ELD.Methods:In this retrospective cross-sectional study, a total of 149 children with ELD were recruited from Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University between April 1, 2007 and March 31, 2022.Chi-square test, Fisher′s exact test, Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test were used to analyze data and conclude clinical characteristics.Spearman correlation was used to analyze the correlation between eosinophils in peripheral blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.Chi-square test and Kappa consistency test were used to compare the differences and consistency in diagnostic results between bronchoalveolar lavage fluid or lung biopsy and eosinophil elevation with chest imaging abnormalities. Results:(1)The isolated lung involvement was mostly caused by allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis(9 patients), and other system involvement by idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome(89 patients).(2)The main respiratory manifestations included coughing(90 cases, 60.4%) and expectoration(41 cases, 27.5%), while 23.5%(35 cases) of patients had no respiratory symptoms; 50.3% had digestive system involvement, and 40.9% had skin involvement.These were the two most commonly affected organs.(3)Spearman correlation was performed between eosinophils in peripheral blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid( r=0.3, P<0.05).Chi-square test was performed to compare ELD diagnosed by bronchoalveolar lavage fluid or lung biopsy with peripheral blood eosinophilia accompanied by abnormal chest imaging( P<0.05).Kappa consistency test(Kappa<0.2) showed poor consistency between the two diagnostic methods. Conclusions:ELD are present in children, and multiple etiologies may be pathogenic.Among children with ELD, the isolated lung involvement is mainly caused by allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis.The digestive system and skin are the most commonly affected organs, except for lungs.The correlation between eosinophil levels in peripheral blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid is poor.

Objective:
To analyze the present situation and associated factors of physical fitness and overweight and obesity among primary and middle school students in Henan Province, and so as to explore the related factors and to provide reference for improving students physical fitness.
Methods:
The data of students physical health survey in Henan Province in 2019 were used to analyze the PFI and BMI of students aged 7-18. The Chi square test was used to compare difference in overweight and obesity prevalence by gender and residence. Analysis of variance was used to compare PFI differences among students of different age groups. Multi variable Logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyze the influencing factors of physical fitness.
Results:
A large proportion of students PFI was between -5 and 5. 0-<5 group(46.8%), followed by -5-<0 group(44.0%), and ≥5 group. The detection rates of overweight and obesity were higher in boys (16.8%, 12.3%) than in girls (12.8%, 7.6%), and in cities (16.1%, 11.8%) than in rural areas (13.3%, 7.9%)( χ 2=124.78, 245.43; 62.52, 166.23, P <0.01). PFI was negatively correlated with BMI( r= -0.23 , P <0.01). Age ( OR =1.01), urban and rural (rural s OR =1.21), gender (female s OR =1.11), over weight ( OR =1.94), obesity ( OR =4.85) were the influencing factors of physical fitness( P <0.05).
Conclusion
Age, residence, gender, overweight and obesity are the related factors of physical fitness. Controlling overweight and obesity can effectively improve students physical fitness.

Objective:
To analysis gender disparities in epidemiological trend of HIV/AIDS disease burden among Chinese population aged 10-24 years from 1990 to 2019.
Methods:
The Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD 2019) results tool was used to extract the number of deaths, mortality rate, disability adjusted life years (DALY), DALY rate, years of life lost (YLL), YLL rate, years lived with disability (YLD) and YLD rate to comprehensively analyze the change range of HIV/AIDS disease burden in the Chinese population aged 10-24 years from 1990 to 2019.
Results:
In 2019, the number of deaths, mortality rate, DALY, DALY rate, YLL, YLL rate, YLD and YLD rate of Chinese population aged 10-24 years due to HIV/AIDS were 847, 0.37 per 100 000 , 62 621 person years, 27.51 per 100 000, 58 036 person years, 25.49 per 100 000, 4 584 person years, 2.01 per 100 000 respectively, with the increase of 401.18%, 691.49%, 370.48%, 648.26%, 409.53%, 710.33%, 138.87% and 279.25% , compared with the data in 1990. In term of gender, the number of deaths, mortality rate, DALY, and DALY rate of Chinese male population aged 10-14, 15-19 and 20-24 years due to HIV/AIDS in 2019 were higher than those of female, and the growth rate (compared with 1990) was also higher than that of female. In term of the age group, the increase in people aged 10-14 years was higher than that of people aged 20-24 years. From 1990 to 2019, with the increase of year and age, gender disparity between mortality and DALY rate widened.
Conclusion
Compared with data in 1990, the risk of HIV/AIDS infection in 2019 among Chinese population aged 10-24 years continued to increase, especially among young people of 10-14 years. Gender disparity is exacerbating.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of infliximab(IFX)in pediatric patients with ulcerative colitis(UC).Methods:The clinical data of 17 UC patients who received IFX treatment at Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2017 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, and the pediatric ulcerative colitis activity index(PUCAI)and laboratory data were compared before and after treatment to evaluate the efficacy and safety of IFX.Results:A total of 17 UC patients were included, and among them there were 9 boys and 8 girls.The age of onset was 12.1(10.7, 12.8)years old, and median age at IFX initiation was 12.5(11.8, 13.6)years old.The duration of IFX medication was 46.1(17.4, 56.9)weeks, and the times of IFX injections was 8.0(4.5, 10.5). The mean PUCAI score of the 17 UC patients at start of IFX treatment was (50.6±21.2) points, and the Mayo endoscopic score showed: ten severe activity, six moderate activity, and one mild activity.IFX efficacy analysis: the clinical response rate was 87.5%(14/16), and the clinical remission rate was 56.3%(9/16) at the 14th week.The sustained response rate was 81.8%(9/11), and the sustained remission rate was 36.4%(4/11) at the 30th week.At the 14th week of IFX treatment, PUCAI score[2.5(0, 10.0)points vs.50.0(41.3, 70.0)points] and white blood cell count[5.7(4.8, 8.6)×10 9/L vs.8.7(6.4, 13.5)×10 9/L] significantly decreased(all P<0.05), hemoglobin[(113.8±20.4)g/L vs.(99.3 ± 19.4)g/L] and albumin level[42.2(40.0, 44.4)g/L vs.36.6(28.6, 40.2)g/L] significantly increased compared with those before IFX treatment, and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05). The Mayo endoscopic scores at 14 weeks of IFX treatment in 12 active UC patients showed: only 2 patients achieved mucosal healing, 5 patients had reduced from severe to moderate mucosal inflammation, and 5 patients had no improvement.Seven patients had 10 adverse events, 2 cases had 4 times acute infusion reactions, and 5 cases had 6 times infections. Conclusion:IFX is effective and relatively safe in inducing and maintaining clinical remission in pediatric UC patients.
