Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes of endolymphatic sac tumor（ELST）, and improve the experience of diagnosis and treatment of this disease. Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of patients with ELST who underwent surgical treatment by the Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2015 to December 2024.The clinical and image features, perioperative management, surgical methods and follow-up results of the disease were summarized. Results:Of the 6 cases, 4 were male and 2 were female. The primary clinical characteristics were hearing loss（6 cases）, tinnitus（5 cases）, dizziness（2 cases）, facial paralysis（1 case）, and headache（1 case）. CT and MRI of temporal bone were performed in all cases. The manifestation of CT was a space occupying lesion centered on the region of endolymphatic sac, accompanied by bone destruction and intertumoral calcification. MRI showed tumor center isosignal and peripheral hypersignal in T1 and T2 sequences in 3 cases, and mixed hypersignal in T1 and T2 sequences in 3 cases. Enhancement was observed in all cases on the enhanced scan. 5 cases underwent DSA examination and showed the tumors were supplied by the occipital artery（2 cases）, posterior auricular artery（4 cases）, and the bunch of internal carotid artery（1 case）. Embolization of the feeding artery was performed in 3 patients. Five patients underwent tumor resection. Translabyrinthine approach were performed in 4 cases, and middle cranial fossa approach was performed in 1 case. All cases followed up for 24 to 70 months with no distant metastases or death. Two patients experienced twice recurrences and were treated with surgical operation. The tumors were found to be closely related to the internal auditory canal or dura during the surgery. Conclusion:The clinical manifestations of ELST are not typical, and hearing loss is the most common clinical symptom. CT and MRI exhibit typical imaging characteristics. ELST has a risk of recurrence, and the tumor should be carefully managed when invade to the internal auditory canal and dura to reduce postoperative recurrence.

Abstract In recent years, the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents has risen rapidly, posing a serious threat to their physical and mental health. To provide scientific, systematic, and standardized weight management guidance for overweight and obese children and adolescents, the study focuses on the core concept of healthy lifestyle intervention, integrates multidisciplinary expert opinions and research findings,and proposes a comprehensive multidisciplinary intervention framework covering scientific exercise intervention, precise nutrition and diet, optimized sleep management, and standardized psychological support. It calls for the establishment of a multi agent collaborative management mechanism led by the government, implemented by families, fostered by schools, initiated by individuals, optimized by communities, reinforced by healthcare, and coordinated by multiple stakeholders. Emphasizing a child and adolescent centered approach, the consensus advocates for comprehensive, multi level, and personalized guidance strategies to promote the internalization and maintenance of a healthy lifestyle. It serves as a reference and provides recommendations for the effective prevention and control of overweight and obesity, and enhancing the health level of children and adolescents.

Objective:To determine the prevalence, risk factors, and longitudinal associations of loneliness during mid- to late pregnancy with anxiety and depressive symptoms in late pregnancy.Methods:In this prospective cohort study, 1 107 pregnant women at 24-28 weeks' gestation were enrolled between June 2021 and December 2022. Psychological status was assessed during mid-pregnancy (24-28 weeks) and late pregnancy (≥32 weeks) using standardized electronic questionnaires, including the Revised University of California Los Angeles Loneliness Scale (UCLA) Loneliness Scale-Short Form (Cronbach's α=0.82), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 ( α=0.86), and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 ( α=0.88). Multivariate logistic regression identified independent risk factors for loneliness. Cross-lagged path models analyzed the longitudinal predictions between loneliness and anxiety/depressive symptoms. Results:The prevalence of loneliness decreased significantly from 10.8% (120/1 107) in mid-pregnancy to 4.8% (37/777) in late pregnancy ( χ2=21.81, P<0.001). Multivariate analysis identified independent risk factors for loneliness: age <30 years ( OR=1.70, 95% CI: 1.15-2.50), annual household income <50 000 CNY ( OR=2.53, 95% CI: 1.28-5.02), unemployment during pregnancy ( OR=1.57, 95% CI: 1.03-2.39), history of alcohol consumption ( OR=1.63, 95% CI: 1.03-2.56), and the presence of mid-pregnancy depressive ( OR=2.76, 95% CI: 1.51-5.04) and anxiety symptoms ( OR=1.65, 95% CI: 1.01-2.71) (all P<0.05). Cross-lagged path models indicated bidirectional associations between loneliness and both anxiety ( β=0.32, P<0.01) and depressive symptoms ( β=0.28, P<0.01). However, the predictive effect of loneliness on subsequent depressive and anxiety symptoms ( β=0.28-0.32) was substantially stronger than the reverse prediction (mid-pregnancy anxiety on late-pregnancy loneliness: β=0.12; mid-pregnancy depression on late-pregnancy loneliness: β=0.11). Loneliness demonstrated high temporal stability (autoregressive effects β=0.29-0.32). Conclusion:Loneliness in mid-pregnancy exhibits a symmetric bidirectional association with anxiety and depressive symptoms in late pregnancy, suggesting it may be a core driver in the development of these emotional symptoms. Younger maternal age (<30 years), low household income (<50 000 CNY/year), unemployment during pregnancy, and a history of alcohol consumption were associated with a higher risk of loneliness and should be prioritized for psychological screening and intervention.

Objective:To elucidate the complete genomic characteristics of the Akabane virus (AKV) DHL10M117 strain and the Tibet orbivirus (TIBOV) DH10M1019 strain, isolated from mosquito specimens collected in 2010 from Dehong prefecture, Yunnan province.Methods:The complete RNA virus sequences were obtained using metatranscriptomics and high-throughput sequencing.Results:The complete genome sequences of the DHL10M117 strain, consisting of the S, M, and L gene segments with lengths of 856 bp, 4 309 bp, and 6 869 bp, respectively, were acquired. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the DHL10M117 strain is an AKV strain, closely related to the AKV strain DHL10M110, isolated from Yunnan. The S and M segment phylogenetic trees revealed that the strain is closely related to AKV strains circulating in southern China and Japan, and distantly related to strains from Australia, suggesting that this strain belongs to the Asian lineage with distinct regional characteristics. Homology analysis confirmed that the gene sequences of the S, M, and L segments of the DHL10M117 strain showed 100% nucleotide and amino acid identity with the DHL10M110 strain. Additionally, the complete genome sequences of the DH10M1019 strain, comprising ten gene segments (Seg-1 to Seg-10) with lengths of 3 950 bp, 2 904 bp, 2 769 bp, 1 978 bp, 1 772 bp, 1 638 bp, 1 165 bp, 1 142 bp, 1 103 bp, and 832 bp respectively, were obtained. Phylogenetic analysis showed that DH10M1019 is a TIBOV strain, with eight gene segments (Seg-1 to Seg-4, Seg-6, Seg-8 to Seg-10) clustering with known strains in the same major branch, while Seg-5 and Seg-7 formed distinct branches, independent of known reference strains, suggesting that DH10M1019 may represent a new serotype of TIBOV.Conclusions:Through complete genome sequence analysis, it was confirmed that DHL10M117 and DH10M1019 are AKV and TIBOV, which provided a scientific basis for the epidemiological characterisation, pathogenicity analysis and investigation of the two viruses.

Objective:The complete genome sequence characteristics of Quang Binh virus (QBV) and Manglie virus (MaV) isolated from mosquitoes in Daluo Town, Menghai county.Methods:Mosquitoes collected in Daluo Town, Menghai county in July 2012 were used for virus isolation. The nucleic acid was extracted from the supernatant of Aedes albopictus cell line (C6/36) showing cytopathic effect (CPE) positivity, and was sent to a company for sequencing after library construction. Phylogenetic and nucleotide/amino acid sequence similarity analysis was performed using DNAStar, Maff, and other softwares.Results:RNA libraries of strains BNDL1205 and BNDL1227 yielded 67 336 692 and 61 259 266 qualified gene sequences (reads) respectively. After assembly and alignment, sequences of lengths 10 865 bp and 10 864 bp were obtained. Sequence analysis indicated that they belong to QBV, with strains BNDL1205 and BNDL1227 clustering with QBV (strain VN180) isolated from Vietnam on the same evolutionary branch, sharing nucleotide similarity of 84.2% and 84.1%, and amino acid similarity of 94.6% and 94.4% respectively. RNA library of strain BNDL1223 yielded 48 622 610 qualified reads. After assembly and alignment, three gene fragments (Contigs) matched MaV. Further merging using SeqMan produced a complete nucleotide sequence of 9 219 bp. Analysis revealed that strain BNDL1223 is closely related to MaV isolated in Yunnan in 2018, sharing nucleotide similarity of 97.8% and amino acid similarity of 99.2%.Conclusions:During the investigation of arboviruses in mosquitoes in Daluo Town, Menghai county, three strains of viruses were identified: 2 strains of QBV and 1 strain of MaV. Local mosquitoes play a significant role in the transmission of QBV and MaV, necessitating enhanced monitoring and detection of local vector mosquitoes.

Aural vertigo frequently encountered in the otolaryngology department of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） mainly involves peripheral vestibular diseases of Western medicine， such as Meniere's disease， benign paroxysmal positional vertigo， vestibular neuritis， and vestibular migraine， being a hot research topic in both TCM and Western medicine. Western medical therapies alone have unsatisfactory effects on recurrent aural vertigo， aural vertigo affecting the quality of life， aural vertigo not relieved after surgery， aural vertigo with complex causes， and children's aural vertigo. The literature records and clinical practice have proven that TCM demonstrates unique advantages in the treatment of aural vertigo. The China Association of Chinese medicine sponsored the "17th youth salon on the diseases responding specifically to TCM： Aural vertigo" and invited vertigo experts of TCM and Western medicine to discuss the difficulties and advantages of TCM diagnosis and treatment of aural vertigo. The experts deeply discussed the achievements and contributions of TCM and Western medicine in the diagnosis and treatment of aural vertigo， the control and mitigation of the symptoms， and the solutions to disease recurrence. The discussion clarified the positioning and advantages of TCM treatment and provided guidance for clinical and basic research on aural vertigo.

BACKGROUND:The alteration of miR-146a-3p level is a common event in the pathogenesis of most neurological diseases,and the specific mechanism of miR-146a-3p regulation of astrocytes has not been studied. OBJECTIVE:To verify that miR-146a-3p regulates astrocyte proliferation,migration and apoptosis through insulin-like growth factor 1. METHODS:12 SD rats were divided into a sham operation group and a spinal cord injury group,with six rats in each group.RNA sequencing analysis was performed on the spinal cord tissues of all groups 2 weeks after surgery to screen out the differential genes(log2FC>2),and to select spinal cord injury-related genes(Score>20)in the Genecards database,and then to predict the target genes of miR-146a-3p by Targetscan.The intersection of three gene sets was obtained to screen out insulin-like growth factor 1 as one of the important target genes.qPCR,western blot assay and immunohistochemistry were performed to analyze the expression level of insulin-like growth factor 1 in spinal cord tissues.The primary astrocytes were divided into NC group,NC-mimics group and miR-146a-3p mimics group.Annexin-V/PI staining was used to detect cell apoptosis.CCK-8 assay was used to detect cell proliferation.Transwell assay was used to detect cell migration ability. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The expression of miR-146a-3p in the spinal cord tissue of the spinal cord injury group was lower than that of the sham operation group(P<0.05).The expression of insulin-like growth factor 1 in the spinal cord tissue of the spinal cord injury group was higher than that of the sham operation group(P<0.05).Compared with the NC group and NC-mimics group,the apoptotic rate of astrocytes was increased(P<0.01);the proliferation of astrocytes was decreased(P<0.01)and the number of migration was decreased(P<0.01)in the miR-146a-3p mimics group.To conclude,the expression of miR-146a-3p decreased and the expression of insulin-like growth factor 1 increased in spinal cord tissue after spinal cord injury.miR-146a-3p targeted regulation of insulin-like growth factor 1 in astrocytes,inhibited the proliferation and migration of astrocytes and promoted their apoptosis.
