Objective:To elucidate the etiological and epidemiological characteristics and epidemiological patterns of viral acute respiratory infections (ARI) in Shanghai during 2023, with the aim of providing robust laboratory evidence for effective prevention and control strategies against related respiratory diseases and facilitating risk assessment.Methods:Respiratory pathogens were detected in the clinical surveillance specimens submitted by sentinel hospitals through multiplex PCR, as part of the multi-pathogen surveillance of acute respiratory infections in Shanghai during 2023. The obtained detection result were statistically analyzed in conjunction with sample information.Results:The positive detection rate of viral pathogens in 2023 was 21.17% (984/4 648), with rates of 33.53% (504/1 503) observed in ILI cases and 15.62% (480/3 145) in SARI cases. Influenza A virus (FluA) was the predominant virus detected, accounting for 13.7% (637/4 648). Other viruses identified in the surveillance samples included influenza B virus (Flu B), human rhinovirus/enterovirus (HRV/HEV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), human metapneumovirus (HMPV), parainfluenza virus (PIV), adenovirus (ADV) and human bocavirus (HBoV). Regarding temporal distribution, HRV/HEV and RSV exhibited the highest detection rates during the second quarter at 2.27% each (28/1 236). PIV had its peak during the third quarter at a rate of 2.49% (35/1 405), and HMPV showed prevalence mainly during the third and fourth quarters, with detection rates of 2.63% (37/1 405) and 2.35% (32/1 360), respectively.Conclusions:In acute respiratory infection surveillance cases in Shanghai in 2023, Flu A emerged as the predominant respiratory pathogen. The detection rate of HMPV ranked second only to Flu A, while other respiratory viruses such as HRV/HEV, RSV, and PIV were detected during different seasons and co-circulated. The prevalence of various respiratory viruses varied among different infected populations and over times.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors and prognostic value of the textbook outcome (TO) in patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC) who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgical resection.Methods:This is a retrospective cohort study. A total of 253 patients with AGC who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with gastrectomy and D2 lymphadenectomy in the Department of Gastric Surgery, Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from January 2010 to December 2019 were retrospectively included. There were 195 males and 58 females, aged (60.3±10.0) years (range: 27 to 75 years). The patients were then divided into the TO group ( n=168) and the non-TO group ( n=85). Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent predictors of TO. Univariate and multivariate Cox analysis were used to analyze independent prognosis factors for overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). Propensity score matching was performed to balance the TO and non-TO groups, and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rates and draw survival curves. Results:Among the 253 patients, 168 patients (66.4%) achieved TO. The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score ( OR=0.488, 95% CI: 0.278 to 0.856, P=0.012) and ypN stage ( OR=0.626, 95% CI:0.488 to 0.805, P<0.01) were independently predictive of TO. Multivariate analysis revealed that TO was an independent risk factor for both OS ( HR=0.662, 95% CI: 0.457 to 0.959, P=0.029) and DFS ( HR=0.687, 95% CI: 0.483 to 0.976, P=0.036). After matching, the 5-year OS rate (42.2% vs. 27.8%) and the 5-year DFS rate (37.5% vs. 27.8%) were significantly higher in the TO group than in the non-TO group (both P<0.05). Furthermore, patients in the non-TO group benefited significantly from postoperative chemotherapy (both P<0.05), but those in the TO group did not (both P>0.05). Conclusion:TO is an independent prognosis factor in patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery for AGC and is associated with postoperative chemotherapy benefits.

Objective:To establish Wistar rat models of acute radiation esophagitis, and observe the histopathological changes at different time points after modeling.Methods:Wistar rats were locally irradiated with different doses of 6 MV X-rays, and the rats were sacrificed on the 3 rd, 5 th, 7 th, and 14 th days after irradiation. The full-length esophagus tissue was taken for paraffin embedding, sectioning, and hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining for pathological assessment. The pathological changes of the esophagus of the rats were observed at the 3 rd, 5 th, 7 th, and 14 th days after 25 Gy and 30 Gy irradiation. The changes of daily dietary intake of rats in different irradiation groups within 1-2 weeks after radiation exposure were observed. Results:No rat died in two groups after being irradiated with 25 Gy and 30 Gy rays. All the rats in the 30 Gy group had esophagus injury. On the 7 th day, the degree of injury was the most serious, with a pathological score of 5.00±0.75 and a food intake of 0 g. On the 14 th day, the degree of injury was relieved, and the food intake was restored to the level before irradiation. Conclusions:The Wistar rat model of acute radiation esophagitis can be established by a single dose of 6 MV X-ray 30 Gy irradiation to the esophagus. The 7 th day after irradiation is an ideal observation time for the acute injury phase, which is gradually alleviated after the 7 th day. The time can be chosen from 7-14 days after irradiation as the observation point for the healing repair phase.

(8) Correlation between results of IHC staining and clinical features. Results of IHC staining analysis showed that the IHC score of DNM3 was 3(2,4) in the 105 gastric cancer tissues, versus 6(4,9) in the 105 paired normal tissues, showing a significant difference between them ( Z=-7.35, P<0.05). There were significant differences in gender, tumor location and N stating between the 70 patients with low expression of DNM3 and the 35 patients with high expression of DNM3 ( χ2=4.29, 7.67, 6.86, P<0.05). (9) Analysis of independent factors influencing 5-year overall survival rate of gastric cancer patients. Results of multivariate analysis showed that stage pT3?4 and low IHC score of DNM3 were independent risk factors for 5-year overall survival rate of gastric cancer patients ( hazard ratio=1.91, 0.51, 95% confidence interval as 1.06?3.43, 0.26?0.98, P<0.05). The 5-year overall survival rate was 44.3% in patients with low expression of DNM3, versus 65.7% in gastric cancer patients with high expression of DNM3, showing a significant difference between them ( χ2=5.02, P<0.05). Conclusion:DNM3 is a tumor suppressor and an independent predictor of poor prognosis for gastric cancer, which may regulate gastric cancer cell cycle and immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment through methylation.

The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn, and the area under curve (AUC), the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were used to assess the model′s performance. Results:(1) Incidence of prolonged surgical duration. Of 534 patients, 284 cases underwent total gastrectomy, and 250 cases underwent distal gastrectomy, with operation time of (206±42)minutes and (187±36)minutes, res-pectively. Cases with prolonged surgical duration and without prolonged surgical duration who under-went total gastrectomy were 41 and 243, and cases with prolonged surgical duration and without prolonged surgical duration who underwent distal gastrectomy were 40 and 210.

Results of univariate analysis showed that BMI ≥25 kg/m2, tumor located in the lower stomach, clinical T3-T4a stage, clinical N1-N3 stage were correlated factors influencing prolonged surgical duration in Da Vinci robotic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer ( odds ratio=1.88, 0.40, 6.24, 6.51, 3.08, 3.39, 17.15, 95% confidence interval as 1.03-3.42, 0.21-0.76, 1.40-27.76, 1.50-28.30, 1.43-6.60, 1.29-8.92, 4.84-60.74, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that BMI ≥25 kg/m2, clinical T3 stage, clinical N3 stage were independent risk factors influencing prolonged surgical duration in Da Vinci robotic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer ( odds ratio=2.31, 4.97, 11.08, 95% confidence interval as 1.19-4.46, 1.05-23.55, 2.72-45.13, P<0.05). (5) Construction and evaluation of an artificial neural network predictive model for pro-longed surgical duration. The BMI, tumor location, clinical T staging, and clinical N staging were incorporated into a multilayer perceptron to construct an artificial neural network predictive model for prolonged surgical duration. Results of ROC curve showed that the AUC, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value of the predictive model in the training dataset were 0.73 (95% confidence interval as 0.68-0.78), 91.4%, 68.1%, 94.8%, 65.3%, 95.4%. The above indicators of the predictive model in the validation dataset 0.72 (95% confidence interval as 0.65-0.79), 88.1%, 67.6%, 93.7%, 74.2%, 91.5%. Conclusions:BMI ≥25 kg/m2, clinical T3 stage, clinical N3 stage are independent risk factors influencing prolonged surgical duration in Da Vinci robotic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer. The artificial neural network predictive model con-structed based on BMI, tumor location, clinical T staging, and clinical N staging can effectively predict patients at high risk of prolonged surgical duration in Da Vinci robotic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
