Objective: To investigate the epidemic situation of notifiable infectious diseases in Zhejiang Province in 2024, so as to summarize the epidemic characteristics. Methods: Data of notifiable infectious diseases cases in Zhejiang Province from January 1 to December 31, 2024 were collected from the Infectious Disease Surveillance System of Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. The epidemiological characteristics were analyzed according to the classification and transmission routes using the descriptive epidemiological method. Results: A total of 32 types of notifiable infectious diseases with 1 858 695 cases and 392 deaths were reported in Zhejiang Province in 2024, with a reported incidence of 2 804.73/105 and a reported mortality of 0.591 5/100 000. A total of 238 infectious disease public health emergencies were reported, of which 218 (91.60%) occurred in schools and kindergartens. There were 22 types of class A and B notifiable infectious diseases reported, with incidence of 470.62/100 000 and mortality of 0.591 5/100 000. Totally 10 types of class C notifiable infectious diseases, with a reported incidence of 2 334.11/105, and no deaths were reported. Classified by transmission route, respiratory infectious diseases had the highest reported incidence of 2 423.87/100 000, among which influenza exhibited the highest reported incidence of 2 024.22/100 000. The reported incidence of intestinal infectious diseases was 312.94/105, among which the incidence of other infectious diarrhea and hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) were high, with reported incidences of 169.52/100 000 and 136.18/100 000, respectively. Blood-borne and sexually transmitted infectious diseases accounted for the largest number of reported deaths, among which AIDS had the highest mortality of 0.424 0/100 000. Natural and insect-borne infectious diseases exhibited a low reported incidence of 1.37/105. The reported incidence of dengue fever was 0.40/100 000, and 95.08% of the cases were imported. Conclusions The reported incidence of respiratory and intestinal infectious diseases and the reported mortality of AIDS were high in Zhejiang Province in 2024. It is recommended to strengthen the prevention and control of infectious diseases such as influenza, other infectious diarrhea, and HMFD in schools and kindergartens.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pulmonary hypertension (PH) are both chronic progressive respiratory diseases that cannot be completely cured. COPD is characterized by irreversible airflow limitation, chronic airway inflammation, and gradual decline in lung function, whereas PH is characterized by pulmonary vasoconstriction, remodeling, and infiltration of inflammatory cells. These diseases have similar pathological features, such as vascular hyperplasia, arteriolar contraction, and inflammatory infiltration. Despite these well-documented observations, the exact mechanisms underlying the occurrence and development of COPD and PH remain unclear. Evidence that mitochondrial dynamics imbalance is one major factor in the development of COPD and PH. Mitochondrial dynamics is precisely regulated by mitochondrial fusion proteins and fission proteins. When mitochondrial dynamics equilibrium is disrupted, it causes mitochondrial and even cell morphological dysfunction. Mitochondrial dynamics participates in various pathological processes for heart and lung disease. Mitochondrial dynamics may be different in the early and late stages of COPD and PH. In the early stages of the disease, mitochondrial fusion increases, inhibiting fission, and thereby compensatorily increasing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production. With the development of the disease, mitochondria decompensation causes excessive fission. Mitochondrial dynamics is involved in the development of COPD and PH in a spatiotemporal manner. Based on this understanding, treatment strategies for mitochondrial dynamics abnormalities may be different at different stages of COPD and PH disease. This article will provide new ideas for the potential treatment of related diseases.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics, treatment options, and prognosis of intranasal reactive hemangioma associated with camrelizumab therapy.Methods:Clinical data from patients with intranasal reactive hemangioma associated with camrelizumab treated at Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University from February 2021 to April 2022 were collected, including patients′ demographics, clinical symptoms, endoscopic lesion characteristics, enhanced MRI results of the sinuses, pathological examination results, treatment plans, and disease outcomes at the last follow-up.Results:A total of 5 patients with intranasal reactive hemangioma were included, comprising 3 males and 2 females, with ages ranging from 21 to 61 years. The primary diseases of these patients included advanced primary liver cancer and nasopharyngeal carcinoma with liver and lung metastases. All patients presented with recurrent nasal bleeding and progressively worsening nasal obstruction, rated as grade 2 adverse reactions. The onset of intranasal reactive hemangioma was observed after 2 to 15 cycles of camrelizumab injections, with lesions primarily located in the common nasal passage and nasopharynx. Endoscopically, intranasal reactive hemangiomas appeared as dark red, narrow-based, and easily bleeding tumor-like lesions. Enhanced MRI showed mild to moderate heterogeneous enhancement. All patients underwent endoscopic resection of hemangioma via a lesion-targeted technique, with the surgical procedure confined to the removal of the grossly visible tumor mass and 5 mm surrounding mucosal margins around the tumor bed. Postoperative pathological examination revealed hemangioma characteristics, including variably sized vascular lumens and endothelial cell proliferation. Follow-up duration ranged from 6 to 12 months, during which none of the patients experienced recurrence of intranasal reactive hemangioma.Conclusion:Prompt surgical excision of camrelizumab-induced intranasal reactive hemangioma is recommended upon diagnosis to mitigate bleeding complications.

Objective To discuss the correlation between free prostate specific antigen(fPSA),serum ferritin(SF),blood uric acid(SUA)levels and Gleason grading in patients with prostate cancer(PCa).Methods The clinical data of 61 patients with prostate biopsy treated in 411 Hospital of Shanghai University from January to December of 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the results of puncture,the patients were divided into benign prostatic hyperpla-sia(BPH)group(31 cases)and PCa group(30 cases).The levels of fPSA,SF and SUA in patients and Gleason grade in biopsy cases were analyzed.The correlation between fPSA,SF and SUA levels and Gleason grade was analyzed by the method of Spearman.And the diagnostic efficacy of fPSA,SF and SUA levels on PCa was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC).Results The levels of fPSA,SF and SUA in PCa group were significantly higher than those in BPH group(P＜0.05).There were statistically significant differences in levels of fPSA SF and SUA in PCA patients with different Gleason grades(P＜0.05).With the specificity reaching 96.08％and sensitivity reaching 94.35％,the ar-ea under the curve(AUC)of the combined fPSA,SF and SUA levels in the diagnosis of PCa was 0.982,which was higher than that of the single fPSA,SF and SUA levels(P＜0.05).SF and SUA levels in PCa patients were positively correlated with Gleason grade(P＜0.05),while fPSA levels were not correlated with Gleason grade(P＞0.05).Conclusion The levels of SF and SUA in PCa patients are positively correlated with Gleason grade,which can be used as an important index to predict Gleason grade in PCa patients.

Objective:To analyze the proportion of nonobstructive azoospermia(NOA)patients opting for sperm bank donation under different sperm retrieval methods[percutaneous testicular sperm aspiration(TESA),microdissection testicular sperm extraction(mTESE)]and its influencing factors.Methods:Retrospective data from assisted reproductive technology(ART)cycles at the Center for Reproductive Medical,Peking University Third Hospital(from January 2019 to December 2023)were collected.Data-complete ART cycles involving NOA patients and their partners(using the last treatment cycle as the endpoint)were selected.Sperm donation utilization rates were compared across retrieval methods(fresh mTESE,fresh TESA,thawed mTESE,thawed TESA).Log-linear models were used to analyze the rela-tionship between sperm retrieval method and sperm source.Results:Among the 1 730 couples,the over-all sperm donation utilization rate was 12.66％.The highest rate occurred in the fresh mTESE group(23.42％),followed by the thawed mTESE group(5.87％).The rates for the fresh TESA and thawed TESA groups were 5.22％and 0％,respectively.Log-linear analysis demonstrated that sperm retrieval method was significantly associated with sperm source(mTESE:Estimate=4.499;TESA:Estimate=2.780;P＜0.001).Conclusion:The low overall sperm donation utilization rate in ART cycles may re-flect the efficacy of synchronous sperm retrieval ART.The proportion of NOA patients opting for sperm donation was influenced by the retrieval method.Compared with patients undergoing TESA,those under-going mTESE were more inclined to utilize donor sperm after retrieval failure.

Neoadjuvant therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma is the frontier and hot topic in the current field of liver cancer research.The fundamental purpose is to reduce the risk of postoperative recurrence through standardized preoperative treatment methods.From the attempts of Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization monotherapy for neoadjuvant therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma to systematic treatment represented by"targeted combined with immunotherapy",the latter has become the most promising neoadjuvant strategy due to its high objective response rate and potential to induce pathological complete remission.However,the field still faces challenges such as lack of evidence of overall survival benefit in Phase Ⅲ randomized controlled trials,treatment-related adverse reactions that may lead to delay in surgery,optimal population screening,and timing of surgery.This article aims to briefly discuss the current research status of the application of neoadjuvant therapy in resectable hepatocellular carcinoma,explore relevant diagnosis and treatment concepts,and further understand neoadjuvant therapy.
