ObjectiveTo analyze the infection characteristics of human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) among children hospitalized with acute lower respiratory tract infection (ALRTI) in a specialized pediatric hospital in Shanghai, so as to provide evidence-based support for optimizing the prevention and control strategies and clinical diagnosis and treatment of respiratory tract infections in children in this region. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed to the clinical and etiological data of 29 260 children hospitalized for ALRTI in Shanghai Children’s Hospital from January 2021 to December 2024. HRSV and 12 other common respiratory pathogens were detected with multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and capillary electrophoresis. Demographic and clinical data were collected for statistical analyses. A total of2 412 cases with positive HRSV were divided into the severe group and the non-severe group. Clinical characteristics between the two groups were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test and the chi- square (χ²) test. Additionally, the related influencing factors of severe HRSV infection were explored. ResultsThe overall positivity rate of HRSV from 2021 to 2024 was 8.24% (2 412/29 260), with statistically significant differences observed across the four years (χ²=389.42, P<0.001). The highest positivity rate was in 2021 (14.76%), with a high prevalence throughout the year. In 2022, when non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) were implemented, the HRSV positivity rate was the lowest (4.93%), with a winter-dominant epidemic pattern. In 2023, after the NPIs were lifted, the HRSV positivity rate showed a slight rebound (8.14%), presenting a double-peak pattern. In 2024, the HRSV positivity rate slightly decreased compared to that in 2023 (6.29%), exhibiting a winter and spring-dominant epidemic pattern. Among the hospitalized children with ALRTI, the HRSV positivity rate in males (8.85%) was higher than that in females (7.51%), and the difference was statistically significant (χ²=17.33, P<0.001). Age distribution showed that 82.26% (1 984/2 412) of HRSV infections occurred in children aged 3 years old and below. Besides, as age increased, the infection rate of HRSV showed a gradually decreasing trend (P<0.001). Among the 2 412 children with HRSV infection, the proportion of severe cases was 22.31% (538/2 412), while the non-severe cases accounted for 77.69% (1 874/2 412). Compared with non-severe cases, severe cases were more frequently presented with high fever, longer duration of wheezing, as well as higher rates of underlying diseases or co-infection with Mycoplasma pneumoniae (P<0.001). ConclusionThe prevalence intensity of HRSV varied yearly from 2021 to 2024. After the removal of NPIs in 2023, a slight rebound with a double-peak epidemic pattern was observed. HRSV remained a common pathogen in children hospitalized for ARLTI, and children aged 3 years old and below constituted the highest proportion for infection. Compared with non-severe cases, those with severe HRSV infections were more prone to presenting with high fever and a longer duration of wheezing. Children with positive HRSV who had underlying diseases or co-infection with Mycoplasma pneumonia were more likely to develop severe conditions.

In recent years， repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation （rTMS） has garnered significant attention as a therapeutic approach for sleep disorders in the elderly. However， the prevailing rTMS protocols are predominantly developed based on normative neurophysiological data derived from young adults and fail to incorporate individualized parameters tailored to the brain characteristics of the elderly. To address this gap， the consensus development group synthesized the latest evidence from 2010 to 2025 and established a standardized rTMS protocol specifically for elderly patients with sleep disorders. Adhering to the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II （AGREE II） framework， systematically screened randomized controlled trials （RCTs） and systematic reviews regarding rTMS in the treatment of sleep disorders across various conditions. Meanwhile， the Grading of Recommendations Assessment， Development and Evaluation （GRADE） system was employed to rigorously grade the quality of evidence and the strength of recommendations. This consensus guideline delineates precise rTMS protocols for the management of sleep disorders in the elderly， highlights the adjustment of stimulation intensity according to scalp-cortex distance recommends either MRI‑guided neuronavigation or the Beam F3/F4 heuristic approach for accurate target localization， thereby providing precise rTMS intervention protocol for sleep disorders in the elderly， aiming to enhance clinical efficacy while ensuring treatment safety. ［Funded by National Key Research and Development Program （number， 2023YFC3603200）； General Program of Shenzhen Science and Technology Innovation Commission （number， JCYJ20240813112859008， JCYJ20240813112900002）； Youth Program of Shenzhen Kangning Hospital （number， KN2023A004）； www.guidelines-registry.cn number， PREPARE-2026CN530］

AIM: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of compound anisodine combined with laser photocoagulation in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy(DR).METHODS: A prospective cohort study was used to select 80 patients(160 eyes)diagnosed with severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy(NPDR)and proliferative diabetic retinopathy(PDR)in Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital MedTcal University and Beijing Daxing District People's Hospital from May 2023 to July 2023. They were divided into control group(40 cases, 80 eyes)and observation group(40 cases, 80 eyes)by random number table method. The control group only received 532 nm laser panretinal photocoagulation(PRP)treatment, while the observation group received PRP treatment together with superficial temporal subcutaneous injection of compound anisodine. The clinical efficacy, changes in hemorheology, changes in retinal blood vessels, and incidence of adverse reactions in the two groups were observed before and at 2 mo after treatment.RESULTS: The visual acuity, fundus changes and hemorheological parameters of the two groups were analyzed before and after treatment. There were no significant differences in the two groups before treatment(all P>0.05). The best corrected visual acuity of the observation group was better than that of the control group at 2 mo after treatment(P<0.05), and the clinical curative effect of fundus was also better than that of the control group(all P<0.05). The hemorheological indexes of central retinal artery blood flow(peak systolic velocity and end diastolic velocity)in the observation group were higher than those of the control group(all P<0.05), and the blood flow resistance index was lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Compound anisodine combined with 532 nm laser photocoagulation is safe and effective in the treatment of DR, and the visual recovery effect is better.

With the widespread adoption of low-dose CT screening and the extensive application of high-resolution CT, the detection rate of sub-centimeter lung nodules has significantly increased. How to scientifically manage these nodules while avoiding overtreatment and diagnostic delays has become an important clinical issue. Among them, lung nodules with a consolidation tumor ratio less than 0.25, dominated by ground-glass shadows, are particularly worthy of attention. The therapeutic challenge for this group is how to achieve precise and complete resection of nodules during surgery while maximizing the preservation of the patient's lung function. The "watershed topography map" is a new technology based on big data and artificial intelligence algorithms. This method uses Dicom data from conventional dose CT scans, combined with microscopic (22-24 levels) capillary network anatomical watershed features, to generate high-precision simulated natural segmentation planes of lung sub-segments through specific textures and forms. This technology forms fluorescent watershed boundaries on the lung surface, which highly fit the actual lung anatomical structure. By analyzing the adjacent relationship between the nodule and the watershed boundary, real-time, visually accurate positioning of the nodule can be achieved. This innovative technology provides a new solution for the intraoperative positioning and resection of lung nodules. This consensus was led by four major domestic societies, jointly with expert teams in related fields, oriented to clinical practical needs, referring to domestic and foreign guidelines and consensus, and finally formed after multiple rounds of consultation, discussion, and voting. The main content covers the theoretical basis of the "watershed topography map" technology, indications, operation procedures, surgical planning details, and postoperative evaluation standards, aiming to provide scientific guidance and exploration directions for clinical peers who are currently or plan to carry out lung nodule resection using the fluorescent microscope watershed analysis method.

Intraoperative cell salvage (IOCS) has been widely applied as an important blood conservation measure in surgical operations. However, there is currently a lack of clinical practice guidelines for the implementation of IOCS in patients with malignant tumors. This report aims to provide clinicians with recommendations on the use of IOCS in patients with malignant tumors based on the review and assessment of the existed evidence. Data were derived from databases such as PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and Wanfang. The guideline development team formulated recommendations based on the quality of evidence, balance of benefits and harms, patient preferences, and health economic assessments. This study constructed seven major clinical questions. The main conclusions of this guideline are as follows: 1) Compared with no perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion (NPABT), perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion (PABT) leads to a more unfavorable prognosis in cancer patients (Recommended); 2) Compared with the transfusion of allogeneic blood or no transfusion, IOCS does not lead to a more unfavorable prognosis in cancer patients (Recommended); 3) The implementation of IOCS in cancer patients is economically feasible (Recommended); 4) Leukocyte depletion filters (LDF) should be used when implementing IOCS in cancer patients (Strongly Recommended); 5) Irradiation treatment of autologous blood to be reinfused can be used when implementing IOCS in cancer patients (Recommended); 6) A careful assessment of the condition of cancer patients (meeting indications and excluding contraindications) should be conducted before implementing IOCS (Strongly Recommended); 7) Informed consent from cancer patients should be obtained when implementing IOCS, with a thorough pre-assessment of the patient's condition and the likelihood of blood loss, adherence to standardized internally audited management procedures, meeting corresponding conditions, and obtaining corresponding qualifications (Recommended). In brief, current evidence indicates that IOCS can be implemented for some malignant tumor patients who need allogeneic blood transfusion after physician full evaluation, and LDF or irradiation should be used during the implementation process.

Surgical treatment is one of the key approaches for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Regular postoperative follow-up is crucial for early detection and timely management of tumor recurrence, metastasis, or second primary tumors. A scientifically sound and reasonable follow-up strategy not only extends patient survival but also significantly improves quality of life, thereby enhancing overall prognosis. This consensus aims to build upon the previous version by incorporating the latest clinical research advancements and refining postoperative follow-up protocols for early-stage NSCLC patients based on different treatment modalities. It provides a scientific and practical reference for clinicians involved in the postoperative follow-up management of NSCLC. By optimizing follow-up strategies, this consensus seeks to promote the standardization and normalization of lung cancer diagnosis and treatment in China, helping more patients receive high-quality care and long-term management. Additionally, the release of this consensus is expected to provide insights for related research and clinical practice both domestically and internationally, driving continuous development and innovation in the field of postoperative management for NSCLC.

The p21-activated kinase 4 (PAK4), a key regulator of malignancy, is negatively correlated with immune infiltration and has become an emergent drug target of cancer therapy. Given the lack of high efficacy PAK4 inhibitors, we herein reported the identification of a novel inhibitor 13 bearing a tetrahydrobenzofuro[2,3-c]pyridine tricyclic core and possessing high potency against MIA PaCa-2 and Pan02 cell lines with IC₅₀ values of 0.38 and 0.50 μmol/L, respectively. This compound directly binds to PAK4 in a non-ATP competitive manner. In the mouse Pan02 model, compound 13 exhibited significant tumor growth inhibition at a dose of 100 mg/kg, accompanied by reduced levels of PAK4 and its phosphorylation together with immune infiltration in mice tumor tissue. Overall, compound 13 is a novel allosteric PAK4 inhibitor with a unique tricyclic structural feature and high potency both in vitro and in vivo, thus making it worthy of further exploration.

Ischemic stroke (IS) is a globally life-threatening disease. Presently, few therapeutic medicines are available for treating IS, and rt-PA is the only drug approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the US. In fact, many agents showing excellent neuroprotection but no blood flow-improving activity in animals have not achieved ideal clinical efficacy, while thrombolytic drugs only improving blood flow without neuroprotection have limited their wider application. To address these challenges and meet the huge unmet clinical need, we have designed and identified a novel compound AAPB with dual effects of neuroprotection and cerebral blood flow improvement. AAPB significantly reduced cerebral infarction and neural function deficit in tMCAO rats, pMCAO rats, and IS rhesus monkeys, as well as displayed exceptional safety profiles and excellent pharmacokinetic properties in rats and dogs. AAPB has now entered phase I of clinical trials fighting IS in China.
