Objective This study conducted molecular biological identification of the viruses carried by Culex pipiens pallens specimens collected in Shunyi District, Beijing in 2023, and observed the changes in the infection rate of the viruses carried by Cx. pipiens pallens at different collection times. Methods Cx. pipiens pallens were collected using carbon dioxide mosquito traps. The mosquito samples were ground in batches and analyzed by molecular biology technologies. The virus infection rate at different collection times was analyzed statistically. Results 17 strains of Culex pipiens pallens densovirus(CppDNV)were identified from Cx. pipiens pallens samples collected in Shunyi District, Beijing, in 2023. The nucleotide sequence analysis of the virus genome coding region showed that CppDNV was a single-stranded DNA virus with a total length of 3 335 nt, encoding 2 non-structural proteins(NS1, NS2)and 1 capsid protein(VP). The nucleotide(amino acid)sequence lengths of the three proteins were 2 376 nt(791 aa),1 092 nt(363 aa)and 1 071 nt(356 aa), respectively. Phylogenetic analysis showed that CppDNV was located in genus Brevihamaparvovirus. Statistical analysis showed no significant difference in infection rates across collection times(χ2=4.429, P=0.194). Conclusions CppDNV was identified in Cx. pipiens pallens in Beijing, and it was stably maintained in this natural population.

ObjectiveTo investigate the current status of ethical sensitivity among clinical nursing interns in the context of artificial intelligence （AI） and analyze its influencing factors. MethodsAdopting mixed research methods and convenience sampling， a total of 237 nursing interns from a tertiary A hospital in Xi’an were selected as research subjects. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire and the Nursing Students’ Ethical Sensitivity Scale， and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 8 nursing interns. ResultsThe total score of ethical sensitivity among nursing interns was （33.98±6.32）， which was at a moderate level. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that academic degree （undergraduate： β=0.147， P<0.05； postgraduate： β=0.139， P<0.05）， affinity for the nursing profession （β=0.118， P<0.05）， whether they had taken nursing ethics courses （β=-0.124， P<0.05）， and familiarity with artificial intelligence （β=-0.159，P<0.05） were influencing factors of ethical sensitivity among nursing interns. Four themes were extracted from semi-structured interviews， namely， the incomplete mastery of nursing ethics-related knowledge among nursing interns， weakened ethical sensitivity in the AI teaching scenario of nursing interns， insufficient professional identity affecting the development of nursing interns’ ethical sensitivity， and technological dependence leading to the lack of humanistic care among nursing interns. ConclusionEthical sensitivity of nursing interns represents a moderate level， primarily influenced by educational background， degree of fondness for the nursing profession， learning experience of nursing ethics courses， and familiarity with AI. Nursing educators and clinical administrators urgently need to establish a sustainable school-hospital collaborative model of nursing ethics education， attach importance to the cultivation of ethical awareness and value guidance for nursing interns， and strengthen the intensity and depth of nursing ethics education among nursing interns， thereby improving their level of ethical sensitivity in the context of AI.

ObjectiveTo understand the development stages and use of policy tools of general practitioner policies in China since it was first proposed, to summarize the experience and explore the shortcomings, so as to provide references for the adjustment and optimization of China’s general practitioner policies. MethodsContent analysis and mathematical statistics analysis were used to conduct a quantitative research on 111 policy documents with 422 policy items involving general practitioners at the national level from 1997 to 2023, through a three-dimensional analysis framework integrating policy tools, human capital process and policy development stages. ResultsCapacity‑building policy tools were most frequently used in general practitioner policies, and the policy tools gradually shifted from mandate to inducement. The general practitioner policies paid less attention to the career selection link, but paid full attention to every segment of human capital links, with a comprehensive application of policy tools observed in the integrated development stage, despite the existence of unbalanced internal distribution. ConclusionIt is suggested to promote the use of incentive policy tools and to explore multiple approaches based on incentive theory; pay attention to the career selection link for guiding the employment of general practitioners; take the appropriateness between the policy tools and human capital process into comprehensive consideration, striking a dynamic balance of the internal structure of general practitioner policies.

ObjectiveTo analyze the characteristics of policy texts related to the physician periodic assessment system in China, providing references for the improvement of the system. MethodsContent analysis was employed, examining 116 policy documents from three dimensions: policy process, policy themes, and policy tools. ResultsA total of 298 codes were obtained. The number of policies related to the periodic assessment of physicians showed an overall trend of increasing first and then decreasing, with the peak annual issuance period between 2011 and 2021, and the average number of policy texts showing a downward trend. Policy documents were summarized into 3 levels: physician periodic assessment work, individual behavior, and institutional systems, encompassing a total of 8 categories of themes. The proportion of supply-oriented, environmental-oriented, and demand-oriented policy tools were 4.03%, 60.40%, and 35.57%, respectively. Moreover, environmental-oriented tools continued to dominate over time, followed by demand-oriented tools, with supply-oriented tools being the least. ConclusionThe policy themes are relatively broad and difficult to implement, focusing on establishing regulations while neglecting resource provision, and failing to continuously improve the construction of the system. It is recommended to clearly define the scope of the periodic assessment management, improve supporting systems, increase resource supply, and continuously promote the execution of assessments and policy revisions.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features, genetic characteristics, and differential diagnosis of glomangiomatosis with uncertain malignant potential.Methods:Two cases of glomangiomatosis with uncertain malignant potential were collected at Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from 2013 and 2023. Immunohistochemistry and next generation sequencing (DNA-seq) were used to detect the related protein and gene variation. Patients were followed up.Results:Case 1 was male, 34 years old; and case 2 was female, 28 years old. Both had tumor recurrence in the original site. There were multiple nodules at right calf and ankle, involving superficial subcutaneous tissue and deep interfascicular muscles; some nodules were borderless and painful. Microscopically, the tumor was nodular with fibrous pseudocapsule, some had indistinct borders and diffuse infiltration to the surrounding adipose tissue. The tumor cells were round to ovoid with inconspicuous nucleoli, partly surrounding small irregularly dilated thin-walled blood vessels. The recurrent tumors showed epithelioid morphology in some of the tumor cells, with eosinophilic cytoplasm, some apparent nucleoli, mild to moderate nuclear atypia, and brisk mitotic figures. Focally, perimuscular cell differentiation was noted. The small lesion showed intravascular tumor thrombus. NGS revealed BRAF V600E mutation in case 1, and BRAF V600E mutation combined with PDGFRB gene amplification in case 2.Conclusions:Glomangiomatosis with uncertain malignant potential is a rare variant of glomus tumor. It has a unique growth pattern morphologically, BRAF V600E mutation, and invasive biological behavior.

Spine fracture and dislocation are common traumatic spinal conditions that often require surgical intervention due to compromised spinal stability. Surgical approaches include anterior, posterior, and combined anterior-posterior spinal procedures. According to the specific surgical requirements, patients may be placed in the prone position or repositioned between prone and supine positions during surgery. Intraoperative repositioning has become an essential step in patient positioning. However, during repositioning, patients with spinal fracture and dislocation are at increased risk for complications such as hemodynamic instability, nerve injury, and pressure injuries to the skin and soft tissue. Notably, due to the instability of the spinal cord, even minor manipulations can further exacerbate the damage, potentially leading to severe outcomes like paraplegia. Although the current clinical guidelines provide instructive recommendations for standard position, there remains no specific protocols for intraoperative repositioning in patients with spine fracture and dislocation. With a concern for the lack of clinical studies on positioning techniques, risk prevention, and operational norms for special patients, no applicable guidelines or standards are available. A consensus was required to provide clinical reference, meet the requirements of surgical treatment, and minimize the safety risks of patients caused by improper placement of positions. Professional Committee of Operating Room Nursing of Shaanxi Nursing Association organized experts in nursing management and operating room nursing from major hospitals across China to formulate Expert consensus on intraoperative repositioning for patients with spinal fracture and dislocation ( version 2025). The consensus provides 11 recommendations covering pre-repositioning preparation, intraoperative maneuvers, and post-repositioning observation, aiming to provide references for clinical standardization of the intraoperative repositioning process and protection of patients′ safety.

Objective:To investigate the impact of metformin on the Beh?et's disease (BD) mice model via the Treg/Th17 axis.Methods:The BD mice model was established by subcutaneous injection of HSV-1. Four groups were established, including healthy control group, model group, high-dose metformin group, and low-dose metformin group. The HSV-1 DNA copy number in the peripheral blood was measured using qRT-PCR. Plasma levels of TGF-β 1, IL-10, IL-17, IL-23, IL-6, and TNF-α were assessed by ELISA. Flow cytometry was employed to determine the proportion of Treg and Th17 cells in the spleen. One-way analysis of variance was used for inter-group comparisons, pairwise comparisons were performed using SNK- q test. Results:Thirty-eight BD models were successfully established, with 28 survived. Compared to the BD model group, the metformin treatment groups showed faster healing of genital ulcers, joint redness/swelling, and skin ulcers, along with better mental status. HSV-1 copy numbers decreased in the metformin groups compared to the model group at 20 and 30 days post-treatment. Compared to the healthy control group, the model group exhibited elevated levels of TGF-β 1, IL-17, IL-6, IL-23, and TNF-α, but a decrease in IL-10. Following high-dose metformin treatment, TGF-β 1, IL-17, IL-6, IL-23, and TNF-α were significantly reduced ( q=16.17, P<0.001; q=8.76, P<0.001; q=6.78, P=0.004; q=4.45, P=0.020; q=12.08, P<0.001), accompanied by elevated IL-10 (specific value) ( q=6.28, P<0.001). Compared with the control group [Treg: (1.82±0.68)%; Th17: (2.12±0.86)%], the model group showed significantly elevated proportions of Treg cells[(6.03±2.42)%] ( q=5.01, P<0.001) and Th17 cell [(3.40±0.58)%] ( q=2.96, P=0.017). After high-dose metformin treatment, both Treg cell proportion [(3.20±1.66)%] and Th17 cell proportion [(2.16±0.78)%] decreased compared to the model group ( q=3.05, P=0.014). No significant differences were observed between the high-and low-dose metformin groups across all measured indicators, indicating similar efficacy. Conclusion:Metformin could reduce HSV-1 virus replication, reduce the levels of inflammatory cytokines and regulate Treg/Th17 axis to alleviate the BD symptoms. This study provides evidence for repurposing metformin in the treatment of Beh?et's disease.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of zoledronic acid in patients with Paget′s disease of bone based on clinical data from a single medical center.Methods:This retrospective study included 24 patients diagnosed with Paget′s disease of bone and treated with zoledronic acid at Peking Union Medical College Hospital between January 2009 and June 2020. Demographic data, clinical symptoms, treatment efficacy, and safety outcomes were collected. The primary efficacy measure was serum alkaline phosphatase(ALP) levels. Treatment was considered effective if ALP levels returned to normal or decreased by more than 75% from baseline in the difference between the ALP level and its normal median value.Results:Among the 24 patients with Paget′s bone disease, the most commonly affected site was the skull(in 17 cases). All patients received a single 5 mg intravenous infusion of zoledronic acid. Serum ALP levels significantly decreased after treatment. Among the 15 patients who completed at least 3 months of follow-up, all achieved treatment success. The median time for serum ALP levels to reach the target was 13.1(9.4, 26.1) weeks. In 12 patients, ALP levels normalized within a medium of 16.9(11.5, 37.3) weeks, and remained stable over a medium follow-up of 4.56(2.42, 5.71) years. The most common side effects were hypocalcemia(21 cases, 87.5%) and flu-like symptoms(17 cases, 70.8%). Seven patients had severe hypocalcemia(serum calcium<1.75 mmol/L), and they had higher baseline levels of ALP, calcium, and phosphorus compared to those with mild hypocalcemia.Conclusions:Zoledronic acid 5 mg intravenous infusion effectively controlled disease activity in patients with Paget′s disease of bone. Generally, Most patients achieved treatment goals within 3-4 months, with sustained remission for a median of 4 years. Hypocalcemia was the most frequent side effect, underscoring the importance of timely calcium and vitamin D supplementation.
