Objective To explore the imaging characteristics of lung cancers associated with cystic airspaces (LCCA) and the effects of different treatment regimens. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical and radiological data of LCCA patients who underwent surgical resection and pathological confirmation at the Department of Thoracic Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from 2016 to 2023. The relationship between various radiological classifications and clinical pathology was studied. Based on the postoperative adjuvant treatment follow-up results, the effects of different treatment regimens were analyzed. Results A total of 147 patients were included, including 90 males and 57 females, with a median age of 63 (55, 70) years. There were 21 patients of imaging typeⅠ, 50 patients of typeⅡ, 57 patients of type Ⅲ, and 19 patients of type Ⅳ. The lobulation sign or burr sign of typeⅠcyst walls (P=0.004), and intracystic septa (P=0.030) were more commonly seen in the high-aggressiveness group. The components of the cyst walls or nodules of types Ⅰ-Ⅳ in the high-aggressiveness group were mostly solid or sub-solid (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that subsolid cyst wall (OR=4.734, P=0.023), solid cyst wall (OR=97.972, P<0.001), and the lobulation sign or burr sign of the cyst wall (OR=13.215, P=0.024) were independent risk factors for aggressiveness. Fifty-eight patients received adjuvant therapy after surgery, including 22 in the chemotherapy group, 15 in the targeted therapy group, and 21 in the combined therapy group. The progression-free survival of the combined therapy group was better than the other two groups (P=0.045). Conclusion There is a correlation between the imaging features of LCCA and pathological aggressiveness. Compared to postoperative targeted therapy or chemotherapy alone, postoperative chemotherapy combined with targeted therapy can improve the progression-free survival of LCCA patients.

Objective : To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of pertussis among the population aged ≤18 years in Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2023, so as to provide a basis for optimizing pertussis prevention and control measures as well as immunization strategies. Methods: Data on pertussis cases among individuals aged ≤18 years in Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2023 were collected through the Infectious Disease Reporting Information System of Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. Vaccination records were obtained from the specialized pertussis epidemiological survey conducted in Zhejiang Province. The descriptive epidemiological method was employed to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of pertussis among the population aged ≤18 years, as well as the interval between disease onset and the last immunization among breakthrough cases. Results: A total of 7 431 pertussis cases aged ≤18 years were reported in Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2023, with an average annual reported incidence of 8.68/105. The overall trend showed no statistical significance (P>0.05). The reported incidence remained relatively low from 2016 to 2021, consistently below 10.00/105. In contrast, the incidence rose to 33.98/105 in 2022 and 13.39/105 in 2023. The peak incidence period was from April to August, during which 4 024 cases were reported, accounting for 54.15%. Hangzhou City, Wenzhou City, and Ningbo City reported the highest number of cases, with 3 844, 1 581, and 646 cases, representing 51.73%, 21.28%, and 8.69%, respectively. In terms of average annual incidence, Hangzhou City, Wenzhou City, and Huzhou City ranked the highest, with rates of 33.98/105, 12.38/105, and 12.27/105, respectively. Among age groups, the highest reported incidence was observed in children aged 0-<1 years, at 48.87/105. From 2016 to 2023, the incidence in the 5-<10 years and 10-18 years age groups showed upward trends (AAPC=108.193%, 106.709%, both P<0.05). The proportion of cases in the 5-<10 years age group also increased during this period (P<0.05). A total of 109 breakthrough pertussis cases were identified. The median interval between disease onset and the last immunization was 4.00 (interquartile range, 4.00) years. The numbers of cases with intervals of 1-<2 years and ≥6 years were both relatively high, comprising 25 cases and 37 cases, which accounted for 22.94% and 33.94%, respectively. Conclusions From 2016 to 2021, the reported incidence of pertussis in Zhejiang Province remained relatively stable. However, a sharp increase was observed in 2022. The disease peaked during spring and summer. Key populations for targeted prevention and control included children aged 0-<1 year, 5-<10 years, and 10-18 years. The interval between disease onset and the last immunization among breakthrough pertussis cases exhibited a bimodal distribution.

Myelin is an essential structure that facilitates rapid saltatory conduction in the nervous system. Discrepancies in myelin microstructure are a hallmark of numerous neurological disorders, rendering the assessment of myelin integrity and content an indispensable tool in clinical diagnostics and neuroscience research. Extensive research has been dedicated to scrutinizing its biochemical makeup and morphology under normal, pathological, and experimental conditions over the years. In this review, we present an updated summary of the myelin sheath's structure, composition, and developmental trajectory. We systematically enumerate and contrast eight prevalent myelin staining techniques across dimensions of sensitivity, specificity, and resolution, delving into their underlying staining principles. With an initial application of myelin histology on the mouse demyelination model, our review accentuates the accurate delineation of myelination and the microstructural analysis of the myelin sheath. Such insights are anticipated to significantly contribute to the evaluation and understanding of white matter pathologies.

Objective:To investigate the essential determinants that are critical to initiating the assembly of outer membrane proteins by replacing the POTRA domains of the translocator protein FhaC and the insertase protein TtOmp85 of the Omp85 family. Methods:FhaC, TtOmp85 proteins and their recombinant chimeric proteins after replacing the POTRA domain were obtained by overexpression and purification in vitro. An in vitro reconstitution system was used to investigate the effects of the different domains on the transport efficiency of the substrate outer membrane protein FhaB and the membrane insertion efficiency of OmpA. Results:Replacing the POTRA domain of FhaC with that of TtOmp85 led to the loss of the transport function of FhaB. During the membrane insertion process of OmpA, the FhaC mutant containing the POTRA of TtOmp85 protein acquired the ability to assemble OmpA. Conclusion:The compositional differences in the POTRA domain of Omp85 family proteins determine their abilities to recognize their substrate proteins.

Against the backdrop of the global acceleration of cervical cancer elimination, China has been promoting pilot programs offering free or subsidized HPV vaccination for eligible girls. In 2022, Zhejiang Province initiated a free bivalent HPV vaccination program for eligible girls, expanding from pilot areas to the whole province. Through key measures such as effective multi-sectoral collaboration, full financial support, comprehensive health education and high-quality vaccination services, the program was successfully implemented. However, challenges were encountered during the implementation of the program, including difficulties in target population definition and HPV vaccine selection, as well as significant gap between vaccination intention and behavior. This article systematically analyzes the practices and challenges faced by Zhejiang Province, and proposes corresponding strategies and suggestions based on the best practices both domestically and internationally. It aims to provide references for the implementation of similar programs in other regions or even integrating HPV vaccine into the immunization program.

Effective vaccine management is a prerequisite for successfully delivering immunization services while controlling costs, and it also guarantees the optimal performance of immunization. Research into vaccine wastage is a vital aspect of vaccine management. Currently, China lacks a comprehensive national-level system for monitoring vaccine wastage. This paper focuses on the types of vaccine wastage, the indicators of vaccine wastage, and the current state of research on vaccine wastage both domestically and internationally. It also contemplates and outlines the future prospects for vaccine wastage research in China.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of Internet addiction(IA)in adolescents with depression and explore its relationship with impulsivity and aggressive personality traits.Methods:A total of 71 adolescent patients with depressive disorders were recruited from the Child Psychiatry Outpatient Clinic of Peking University Sixth Hospital between April 2021 and November 2022 (15 males, 56 females; median age 14 [13, 15] years) as the depressive disorder group. Additionally, 83 healthy adolescents (27 males, 56 females; median age 14 [13, 17] years) were recruited as the control group during the same period. Internet addiction was assed using the Chinese version of Young′s Internet Addiction Test (YIAT), with a total score≥50 indicating internet addiction. Impulsivity was evaluated using the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-11(BIS-11), and aggression was measured with the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire(BPAQ). Differences in internet addiction, impulsivity, and aggression between the depression group and the control group were analyzed. Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between internet addiction and impulsivity, aggression. Hierarchical linear regression models were used to analyze the factors influencing internet addiction, and a parallel mediation model was used to examine the mediating effect of impulsivity and aggressive personality traits in the relationship between depressive disorders and internet addiction.Results:The prevalence of IA was significantly higher in adolescents with depression than the healthy control group [57.75%(41/71) vs 31.33%(26/83); χ 2=10.87, P<0.001]. Adolescents with depressive disorders also exhibited higher impulsivity (65.5±9.2 vs 57.0±9.2, t=-5.72, P<0.001) and aggression (56.3±16.0 vs 42.4±15.1, t=-5.13, P<0.001) compared to the control group. Internet addiction was positively correlated with aggression ( r=0.47, P<0.01) and impulsivity ( r=0.57, P<0.01). Hierarchical regression analysis with the YIAT total score as the dependent variable revealed that impulsivity ( β=0.48, P<0.001) and aggression ( β=0.24, P<0.001) significantly predicted internet addiction. Mediation analysis indicated that depressive disorders indirectly indirectly influenced internet addiction through parallel paths of impulsivity and aggression, with a total indirect effect of 0.543 (95% CI: 0.362-0.761). Conversely, internect addiction influenced depressive disorders through reverse parallel pathway of impulsivity and aggression with a total indirect effect of 0.038 (95% CI: 0.021-0.067). Direct effects were not significant in either direction. Conclusion:Adolescents with depressive disorders exhibit more internet addiction. Impulsivity and aggressive personality traits play bidirectional mediating roles in the relationship between depressive disorders and internet addiction.

Objective:To explore the relationship between anxiety symptoms and dispositional mindfulness and analyze the role of psychological resilience and interpersonal sensitivity in their relationship.Methods:A total of 478 college students were selected and assessed with the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-Anxiety subscale(DASS-A),Mindful Attention Awareness Scale(MAAS),Brief Resilience Scale(BRS)and Symptom Checklist 90-Interpersonal Sensitivity Scale(IPS).SPSS macro program PROCESS3.5 was used to test the mediating role.Results:The DASS-A scores were negatively correlated with the MAAS and BRS scores(r=-0.38,-0.33,Ps＜0.01),and positively correlated with the IPS scores(r=0.40,P＜0.01).The MAAS scores were positively correlated with the BRS scores(r=0.40,P＜0.01),and negatively with the IPS scores(r=-0.39,P＜0.01).The BRS scores were negatively correlated with the IPS scores(r=-0.42,P＜0.01).Psychological resilience and interpersonal sensitivity acted as mediators and chain mediators between dispositional mindfulness and anxiety symptoms,with effect sizes of-0.06,-0.07,-0.03,accounting for 15.79％,18.42％,7.89％of the total effect,respectively.Conclusion:It suggests that anxiety symptoms are related to dispositional mindfulness in college students,and psychological resilience and interpersonal sensitivity play a chain mediating role between them.

In order to explore the effects of lipopolysaccharide(LPS)on the repair of bovine endo-metrial stromal cells(BESCs)during inflammatory response,BESCs were treated by LPS in this study.Cell apoptosis rate was detected using flow cytometry,cell viability was measured using the CCK-8 assay,cell migration ability was observed using a scratch assay,and the expression of con-nective tissue growth factor(CTGF),transforming growth factor-beta 3(TGF-β3)and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)mRNA was measured using qRT-PCR.Additionally,the expression of key proteins in the PI3K/AKT and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways was assessed using Western blot analysis.The results showed that cell viability of BESCs significantly decreased(P＜0.01),cell migration ability decreased(P＜0.05),apoptosis rate of BESCs increased(P＜0.01),CTGF and TGF-β3 mRNA expression levels decreased(P＜0.01),while VEGF mRNA ex-pression increased after treatment with LPS(P＜0.01).The phosphorylation levels of PI3K,AKT and GSK-3β proteins decreased(P＜0.05),as well as the expression levels of c-Myc and Cyclin-D1 proteins also decreased(P＜0.01).These results indicated that LPS can inhibit the proliferation of BESCs and promote cell apoptosis possibly through the inhibition of the PI3K/AKT and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways.
