OBJECTIVE: To investigate the detection patterns, clinical phenotypic characteristics, and differences in diagnostic timeliness of Klinefelter syndrome (KS) across prenatal and postnatal stages, with an aim to provide a basis for optimizing strategies for early screening, diagnosis, and intervention. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted to analyze data from two phases. The prenatal diagnosis group included 33,302 pregnant women who underwent amniocytic karyotyping due to advanced maternal age, abnormal ultrasound findings, or high-risk non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT). The postnatal diagnosis group included 52,101 patients who underwent peripheral blood karyotyping due to primary infertility, abnormal external genitalia, or growth and developmental abnormalities. Additionally, medical histories of adult diagnosed patients were reviewed retrospectively to identify early occult symptoms. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Chengdu Women's and Children's Central Hospital (Ethics No.: LCYJ-2025-030). RESULTS: In the prenatal group, 96 cases of KS were detected (detection rate 0.29%). The primary indications for referral were NIPT indicating sex chromosome abnormalities (45.83%), advanced maternal age (16.66%), and ultrasound abnormalities (17.70%). In the postnatal group, 128 cases of KS were detected (detection rate 0.25%). Clinical presentations were primarily primary infertility/azoospermia (77.34%), and the patients were predominantly adults (84.40%). Retrospective analysis revealed that adult patients presented with specific physical signs that had been overlooked during childhood. CONCLUSION As KS lacks typical early clinical manifestations, diagnosis is often delayed until adulthood when reproductive needs arise, showing a pattern of "passive detection" and resulting in missed opportunities for optimal intervention. By conducting a comparative analysis of prenatal diagnostic data and postnatal retrospective data, a risk association model linking prenatal screening indications with childhood-specific signs was developed. This study has provided empirical evidence for establishing a multidisciplinary, full life-cycle management system of "screening ~ diagnosis ~ monitoring ~ intervention" helping to shift from "passive detection in adulthood" to "proactive management across the entire life course," and laid a foundation for improving early diagnosis rate and long-term quality of life for patients.

OBJECTIVE To develope a predictive model for medication deviation risks during the hospital-to-home transition period in coronary heart disease （CHD） patients with initial treatment， aiming to assist medical staff in rapidly identifying high-risk groups for medication deviation. METHODS A total of 462 CHD patients with initial treatment from the Affiliated Hospital of North China University of Science and Technology （hereinafter referred to as “our hospital”） between January and July 2024 were enrolled. The patients were randomly divided into a modeling group and an internal validation group. The modeling group was further categorized into a medication deviation group and a non-medication deviation group based on whether medication deviations occurred. Similarly， 57 CHD patients with initial treatment from the cardiology department of our hospital between June and September 2025 were collected as an external validation group. Univariate analysis was used to screen predictive factors， followed by multivariate Logistic regression to construct the predictive model. Internal validation methods were employed to evaluate model performance， while external validation methods were used to test the model’s generalizability. RESULTS The 462 patients were divided into a modeling group （319 cases） and an internal validation group （143 cases）. In the modeling group， the medication deviation group （192 cases， 60.19%） and the non-medication deviation group （127 cases， 39.81%） were identified. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that age， medication type， medication adherence， and self-efficacy in rational medication use were predictive factors for medication deviations in CHD patients with initial treatment （ P ＜0.05）. The predictive model equation was logit P ＝ln[ P /（1－ P ） ] ＝1.321+1.732×age+4.091×medication type －4.360×medication adherence －3.081×self-efficacy in rational medication use. The model demonstrated good discrimination， with a Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test P -value of 0.439， an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve （AUC） of 0.870， sensitivity of 0.970， and specificity of 0.607. A risk nomogram with a total score of 350 points and a cutoff value of 110 points was plotted. The internal validation group showed an AUC o f 0.787 and a prediction accuracy of 77.6%， while the external validation group exhibited an AUC of 0.802 and a prediction accuracy of 73.7%. CONCLUSIONS This study successfully developed a predictive model for medication deviation risks during the hospital-to-home transition period in CHD patients with initial treatment. The model demonstrates excellent discrimination and predictive accuracy， effectively identifying high-risk populations for medication deviations. Age （＞70 years）， number of drug types≥5， poor medication adherence， and poor self-efficacy in rational medication use are independent risk factors for medication deviations.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between physical development indicators and the onset and progression of myopia among children and adolescents, so as to provide theoretical support for coordinated vision and physical health management. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted. In September 2022, 3 102 students from grade one in primary school to grade three in junior high school (five year primary school and four year junior high school) from six schools in Huantai County, Shandong Province, were selected using multistage cluster random sampling method to participate in an epidemiological survey on myopia, with follow up completed in September 2023. Follow up value minus baseline value( d ) was used to assess changes in physical development and vision indicators. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between physical development indicators and the incidence of myopia. Generalized linear models were established to analyze the relationship between physical development indicators and changes in d spherical equivalent (SE) and d axial length (AL) . Results: Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that, after adjusting for factors such as gender, age, and baseline body mass index, the third ( Q 3)and fourth ( Q 4)quartiles of d height showed increased risks of myopia onset within one year compared to the first quartile( Q 1) ( OR =1.85,95% CI =1.18-2.88; OR =1.74,95% CI =1.09-2.78,both P ＜0.05). Results from the generalized linear model indicated that, after adjusting for confounding factors such as gender, age, and baseline SE, d SE was negatively correlated with d height and d weight in children and adolescents ( β =-0.024, 95% CI =-0.031 to -0.018; β =-0.006, 95% CI =-0.011 to -0.001), d AL was positively correlated with d height and d weight in children and adolescents ( β =0.011, 95% CI =0.008-0.013; β =0.005, 95% CI =0.003-0.007) (all P ＜0.05). Conclusions Physical development indicators in children and adolescents were associated with the onset and progression of myopia. Dynamic monitoring and early intervention of myopia should be strengthened for children and adolescents with rapid height and weight gain to achieve coordinated management of myopia and physical development.

ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological and etiological characteristics of a cluster of human metapneumovirus (HMPV) infection in a kindergarten in Gongshu District of Hangzhou City in May 2024, and to provide reference for the prevention and control of similar outbreaks. MethodsAn on-site investigation was conducted using an epidemiological case investigation form. Throat swab specimens collected from cases were screened for 13 respiratory pathogens using real-time fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (PCR). For HMPV nucleic acid positive specimens, the F gene of HMPV was used as the target gene for amplification and sequencing. The sequencing results were then compared with sequences in GenBank database to determine the virus subtypes and perform phylogenetic analyses. ResultsThe outbreak occurred in a kindergarter junior class with a total of 28 preschoolers and 3 teachers and childcare workers. A total of 11 cases (10 preschoolers and 1 teacher) were identified, including 8 male cases and 3 female cases. Clinical manifestations included fever in all 11 cases (100.00%), cough in 8 cases (72.72%), catarrhal symptoms in 4 cases (36.36%), and headache in 3 cases (27.27%). All symptoms were mild, and no severe cases were observed. A total of 11 throat swab samples were collected. Real-time fluorescent PCR test results showed that 3 samples were positive for HMPV nucleic acid, 2 samples were positive for both HMPV and Streptococcus pneumoniae, and 1 sample was positive for both HMPV and rhinovirus. The sequences of the 6 HMPV nucleic acid positive specimens were amplified and analyzed using specific primers, and all were determined to be HMPV subtype A2b. The F gene fragment sequence showed the highest similarity to PV081665.1/Brazil/2024 (99.65%), and also exhibited high similarity to PP683455.1/Indonesia/2021 (99.48%), PV016275.1/Beijing/2024 (99.31%), and PV052230.1/USA/2024 (99.13%). ConclusionThis cluster of acute respiratory tract infection was caused by HMPV subtype A2b, with co-infection of rhinovirus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. The F gene fragment sequences of the HMPV in this outbreak were highly homologous to those of the A2b strains isolated from Brazil, Beijing, Indonesia, and the the United States.

Objective: To investigate the distribution of pupil diameter and its association with myopia in school age children, providing ideas into the mechanisms of the role of pupil diameter in the onset and development of myopia. Methods: Adopting a combination of stratified cluster random sampling and convenience sampling method, 3 839 children from six schools in Shandong Province were included in September 2021. Pupil diameters distribution was analyzed by age, sex, and myopic status. Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the relationship between pupil diameter and cycloplegic spherical equivalent (SE), as well as axial length (AL) and other variables. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to match myopic and non myopic children at a 1∶1 ratio based on age and sex. A generalized linear model (GLM) was constructed with pupil diameter as the dependent variable to identify independent factors influencing pupil size and its association with myopia. Results: The mean pupil diameter of school age children was (5.77±0.80)mm. Pupil diameter exhibited a significant increasing trend with age ( F =49.34， P trend ＜ 0.01). Myopic children had a significantly larger mean pupil diameter [(6.10±0.73)mm] compared to non myopic children [(5.62±0.79)mm] with a statistically significant difference( t=18.10, P <0.01). Multivariable GLM analysis, adjusted for age, amplitude of accommodation, and uncorrected visual acuity, revealed a negative correlation between pupil diameter and cycloplegic SE (before PSM: β =-0.089, after PSM: β =-0.063, both P ＜0.01). Conclusions Myopic school age children exhibite larger pupil diameters than their non myopic counterparts. Pupil diameter may serve as a potential indicator for monitoring myopia development in school age children.

To analyze the investigation and disposal of an H5N6 human infection with animal derived influenza epidemic in Quanzhou City in 2024, and provide reference for the control and prevention of animal derived influenza epidemics in future.According to Technical Guidelines for Control and Prevention of Human infected with Zoonotic Influenza Viruses (Trial), we investigated the diagnosis and treatment of the case, suspected exposure, infection sources and routes, by the method of field epidemiological investigation. The case, close contacts, and relevant environmental samples were collected for nucleic acid testing and gene sequencing. A nasopharyngeal carcinoma patient who rapidly progressed to severe pneumonia and died of multiple organ failure after being diagnosed with H5N6. The H5N6 virus nucleic acid test results of 5 close contacts and 37 suspected exposed individuals were all negative, and no second-generation cases occurred. Through on-site investigation and genetic sequencing analysis, it is highly likely that the source of infection is the outdoor environment of free range poultry contaminated with H5N6 virus in the vicinity of the patient's home.Patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma or other immune restricted diseases should take personal protective measures, stay away from poultry and livestock breeding and trading places, and avoid close contact with poultry or other animals as much as possible. We should strengthen the training of management personnel of third-party testing institutions, enhance the work of thematic risk assessment and the application of risk assessment results,and expand the scope of monitoring human infected with zoonotic influenza viruses in breeding farms, live poultry markets, and migratory bird habitats.

Objective:To discuss the promotive effect of Shengji Yuhong Ointment extract(SYOE)on skin wound healing of zebrafish,and to clarify its mechanism.Methods:A total of 320 wild-type AB strain zebrafish were used to establish a wound model by making an incision on the lateral abdomen.The zebrafish were randomly divided into control group,low dose of SYOE group(raised in water containing 0.625 mg·L-1 SYOE),high dose of SYOE group(raised in water containing 1.250 mg·L-1 SYOE),and allantoin group(raised in water containing 1.000 mng·L-1 allantoin),and there were 80 zebrafish in each group.The wound areas were recorded by photographs on days 7,14,and 21 after injury,and the wound healing rates were calculated.The skin tissue samples from the wound sites of the zebrafish in various groups were collected at different time points to prepare histological sections.HE staining was used to observe the widths of skin wound edges of the zebrafish on days 0,7,14,and 21 in various groups;Sirius red staining was used to detect the collagen levels in the wound tissues of the zebrafish on days 2,4,6,and 8 after injury in various groups;enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect the levels of type Ⅰ collagen(Col Ⅰ)and α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA)in the wound tissues on day 4 after injury;real-time quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)was used to analyze the mRNA expression levels of Col Ⅰ-encoding genes(col1a1a,col1a1b,and col1a2)and α-SMA as wall as key factors of the transforming growth factor β(TGF-β)/Smad signaling pathway(tgfb1a,smad2,and smad3a)in the wound tissues of the zebrafish in various groups on day 4 after injury.Results:The wound healing assessment results showed that compared with control group,the wound healing rates of the zebrafish in low dose of SYOE group,high dose of SYOE group,and allantoin group were significantly increased on days 7,14,and 21 after injury(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01);the wound healing rate in high dose of SYOE group achieved 84％on day 21.The HE staining results showed that compared with control group,the widths of skin wound edges of the zebrafish in low dose of SYOE group,high dose of SYOE group,and allantoin group were significantly decreased on days 14 and 21 after injury(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).The Sirius red staining results showed that compared with control group,the collagen levels in the skin wound tissue of the zebrafish in low dose of SYOE group,high dose of SYOE group,and allantoin group were significantly increased on days 6 and 8 after injury(P＜0.01).The ELISA results showed that on day 4 after injury,compared with control group,the levels of Col Ⅰ and α-SMA in the skin wound tissue of the zebrafish in low dose of SYOE group,high dose of SYOE group,and allantoin group were significantly increased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).The RT-qPCR results showed that on day 4 after injury,compared with control group,the expression levels of col1a1b,col1a2,α-SMA,tgfb1a,and smad2 mRNA in the skin wound tissue of the zebrafish in low dose of SYOE group were significantly increased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),while the expression levels of col1a1a,col1a1b,col1a2,α-SMA,tgfb1a,smad2,and smad3a mRNA in the skin wound tissue of the zebrafish in high dose of SYOE group and allantoin group were significantly increased(P＜0.01).Conclusion:SYOE can increase the collagen deposition in skin wound of zebrafish,promote wound healing,and upregulate the expression of genes related to the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway.

Debates persist regarding the efficacy and safety of azvudine, particularly its real-world outcomes. This study involved patients aged ≥60 years who were admitted to 25 hospitals in mainland China with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection between December 1, 2022, and February 28, 2023. Efficacy outcomes were all-cause mortality during hospitalization, the proportion of patients discharged with recovery, time to nucleic acid-negative conversion (T _NANC), time to symptom improvement (T _SI), and time of hospital stay (T _HS). Safety was also assessed. Among the 5884 participants identified, 1999 received azvudine, and 1999 matched controls were included after exclusion and propensity score matching. Azvudine recipients exhibited lower all-cause mortality compared with controls in the overall population (13.3% vs. 17.1%, RR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.67-0.90; P = 0.001) and in the severe subgroup (25.7% vs. 33.7%; RR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.66-0.88; P < 0.001). A higher proportion of patients discharged with recovery, and a shorter T _NANC were associated with azvudine recipients, especially in the severe subgroup. The incidence of adverse events in azvudine recipients was comparable to that in the control group (2.3% vs. 1.7%, P = 0.170). In conclusion, azvudine showed efficacy and safety in older patients hospitalized with COVID-19 during the SARS-CoV-2 omicron wave in China.

Objective To investigate the incidence, severity and longitudinal trajectories of symptoms at various time points in the perioperative period of lung cancer patients, and to provide scientific basis for clinical staff to implement predictive nursing and dynamic management of symptom clusters. Methods A prospective longitudinal investigation was conducted. The patients with lung cancer who underwent thoracoscopic lung surgery in four wards of the Department of Thoracic Surgery in our hospital were investigated by face-to-face and telephone follow-up before surgery, 1-2 days after surgery, on the day of discharge and 2 weeks after discharge. The investigation tool was the revised Chinese version of MD Anderson Symptom Inventory lung cancer specific module. Results A total of 192 patients with lung cancer were included in this study, including 59 males and 133 females, with an average age of (55.68±11.01) years. There were two symptom clusters (respiratory-gastrointestinal and emotional/psychological-disturbed sleep symptom clusters) before surgery, three symptom clusters (respiratory, gastrointestinal, and emotional/psychological-disturbed sleep symptom clusters) 1-2 days after surgery, three symptom clusters (pain-fatigue-emotional/psychological, respiratory, and gastrointestinal symptom clusters) on the day of discharge, and two symptom clusters (pain-fatigue-respiratory and respiratory symptom clusters) 2 weeks after discharge. The composition of symptoms was different in each time point during perioperative period. Conclusion There are four symptom clusters in patients with lung cancer during perioperative period, which are pain-fatigue-disturbed sleep symptoms, gastrointestinal symptoms, respiratory symptoms and emotional/psychological symptoms. The symptom clusters of lung cancer patients at different time points are relatively stable, but the symptoms within the symptom clusters show dynamic changes. Medical staff should attach great importance to and continuously monitor the dynamic changes of perioperative symptom groups of lung cancer patients, do relevant education and nursing in advance, and timely adjust the management plan according to the symptom group evaluation results.
