The Proctor's reporting guideline for implementation strategies represents a landmark framework in the field of implementation science, aiming to address the issue of inconsistent reporting in implementation research by standardizing the naming, definition, and operationalization of implementation strategies, thereby enhancing the credibility and utility of research findings. This paper provides an in-depth interpretation of the core connotations of this reporting guideline and illustrates its application in developing interview outlines and specifying implementation strategies, using a brief smoking cessation intervention project as a case study. Through this reporting guideline, abstract recommendations for implementation are systematically transformed into clear, multidimensional operational guides, significantly improving the transparency of strategy connotations and the replicability of actual execution. Meanwhile, the case study highlights the flexibility of the guideline, which allows researchers to adapt the content and format of strategies based on local resources and cultural contexts, thus enhancing practical adaptability while maintaining scientific rigor. However, the application of Proctor's reporting guideline still faces challenges, primarily manifested in the potential confusion surrounding the constructs of temporality and dose in practice, as well as the challenges that the inherent flexibility of the guideline may pose to the assessment of fidelity and effectiveness. Despite these limitations, the reporting guideline remains a vital tool for implementation research; future efforts should focus on optimizing its application—through refining operational guidelines, standardizing flexible adaptations, and involving stakeholders—to better guide implementation studies and continuously promote high-quality development in the field.

With the accelerating trend of population aging, the number of elderly patients with lung cancer continues to rise, and the disease burden is becoming increasingly heavy. The clinical management of these patients faces severe challenges due to their decreased physiological reserve, complex comorbidities, and significant individual heterogeneity. Consequently, under traditional diagnosis and treatment models, doctors often struggle to identify the individualized risks of elderly patients in a timely and comprehensive manner, which can easily lead to decision biases such as undertreatment or overtreatment. In view of this, this study advocates for the establishment of an umbrella decision-making model specifically tailored for elderly lung cancer patients. Grounded in a multidisciplinary team (MDT) platform, this model deeply integrates oncological indicators with the comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) system. By holistically considering multidimensional variables including tumor burden, organ function, frailty index, cognitive status, and social support, the model establishes an operational mechanism characterized by "single entry, precise stratification, and targeted selection". Accordingly, patients can be scientifically triaged into distinct intervention tiers, such as active surveillance, minimally invasive surgery, drug therapy, radiotherapy, and best supportive care, thereby achieving real-time alignment between treatment intensity and patient fitness. This article elaborates on the construction logic and key operational procedures of this novel decision-making framework, aiming to guide clinical practice beyond the limitations of a tumor-centric perspective toward a holistic, dynamic, whole-course management strategy. This transition seeks to ensure optimal quality of life and clinical net benefit for elderly patients alongside survival prolongation.

ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological and etiological characteristics of hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD) in Jinjiang District of Chengdu City from 2014 to 2024, and to provide a reference basis for HFMD prevention and control. MethodsA retrospective study was conducted to collect confirmed and clinically diagnosed cases of HFMD in Jinjiang District from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2024. Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the distribution of cases by person, time, and place. Joinpoint regression models were applied to examine trends for incidence and severe case rates, while seasonal patterns were analyzed using the seasonal index method. Chi-square tests were used for comparing rates, Mann-Whitney U tests were applied for comparing two groups with skewed distributions, and Kruskal-Wallis H rank-sum tests were used for multiple groups with skewed distributions. Pathogen characteristics were primarily analyzed using descriptive statistics. ResultsA total of 15 561 HFMD cases were reported from 2014 to 2024. The annual crude incidence rate ranged from 51.32/100 000 to 502.50/100 000, the age-standardized incidence rate ranged from 55.56/100 000 to 721.07/100 000, peaking in 2018, and the overall epidemic intensity generally showed an alternating-year pattern of intensification. A total of 85 severe cases were reported, showing a declining trend in the severe case rate (APC=AAPC=-37.57%, 95%CI∶ -51.49%‒21.33%, P<0.01). Severe cases were most common in the 1‑year‑old age group (43.53%), with a median age of 1.88 years. Recurrent infections accounted for 1 245 cases (8.00%), with 96.73% of these being reinfections. The median age at first infection for recurrent cases was 1.98 years, significantly lower than that of single-infection cases (2.69 years, P<0.001), and the median interval between consecutive infections was 1.19 years. The disease exhibited a bimodal seasonal pattern, with epidemic peaks occurring from May to July and from October to December, however, summer peaks extending into autumn were observed in 2018 and 2023. There were statistically significant differences in age distribution across different years (H=467.51, P<0.001), with the median age increasing from 2.25 years in 2018 to 4.18 years in 2024, and the interquartile range widening from 1.84 to 3.78 years. Since its initial detection in 2017, CVA6 has been identified annually, showing a peak proportion of 87.50% in 2023 and a second peak of 68.18% in 2018. CVA10 was detected during 2021‒2023, peaking at 18.75% in 2021 and decreasing to 14.29% in 2022. Male incidence rates were consistently higher than female rates each year (P<0.05). The proportion of males in the reinfection group was significantly higher than that in the single-infection group (χ2=9.951, P=0.002). Pathogen analyses showed that CVA16 was detected annually, EV71 detection declined fluctuantly and was not detected after 2022. CVA6 was first detected in 2017 and rapidly increased in prevalence, reaching 87.50% in 2023 and becoming the dominant strain. Among severe cases, EV71 accounted for the highest proportion (52.63%), while CVA16 was most common in non-severe cases (41.60%). There was a statistically significant difference in pathogen composition between severe and non-severe cases (χ2=10.402,P=0.011). ConclusionThe epidemiological profile of HFMD undergoes continuous changes over time. It is necessary to strengthen routine surveillance, with particular attention to changes in the pathogen spectrum and age distribution, so as to provide evidence for precise prevention and control measures and the adjustment of vaccination strategies.

Objective:To develop a self-locked DNAzyme nanoprobe-based fluorescence amplification strategy for wash-free and ultrasensitive detection of breast cancer-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEV).Method:A DNAzyme self-locked probe was designed to recognize the epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) specifically expressed on breast cancer-derived sEVs. Upon binding to EpCAM, the DNAzyme-lock structure was opened, restoring the DNAzyme cleavage activity. The activated DNAzyme then cyclically cleaved the RNA site on the substrate strand. Fluorescently labeled substrate strands were used to detect sEVs at varying concentrations, and the detection limit and linear range were determined.Results:The DNAzyme self-locked probe successfully identified breast cancer-derived sEVs and generated a fluorescent signal through cyclic cleavage. The proposed method achieved wash-free detection of sEVs, with the fluorescence intensity showing a strong linear correlation with sEV concentration ( R2=0.98). The linear detection range was 1.0×10 2-1.0×1.0 7 particles/μl, with a detection limit of 59 particles/μl. Conclusion:This study established a wash-free and highly sensitive strategy for quantifying breast cancer-derived sEVs, which provides a promising technical approach for the early diagnosis of cancer.

OBJECTIVE To observe the clinical efficacy of donafenib combined with programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors and vascular intervention therapy in the treatment of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS This retrospective study included 165 patients with unresectable HCC who were treated at the Fourth and First Affiliated Hospitals of Soochow University between June 2022 and March 2023. Among them, 89 patients received PD-1 inhibitors (tislelizumab or sintilimab, similarly hereinafter) plus vascular intervention (control group) and 76 patients received donafenib in combination with PD-1 inhibitors and vascular intervention (observation group). Short-term efficacy (3 months after treatment), long-term efficacy (2 years after treatment), the levels of liver function indexes [serum alanine amino-transferase (ALT), aspartate transferase (AST), and total bilirubin (TBil)] and tumor biomarkers [alpha fetoprotein (AFP), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), and des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin (DCP)] before treatment and after 3 months of treatment, as well as the occurrence of adverse drug reaction (ADR) during treatment, were compared between the two groups. In addition, overall response rate (ORR) stratified by PD-1 inhibitor type was analyzed. RESULTS After treatment, the ORR was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05); although the disease control rate was higher in the observation group compared to the control group, the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The median overall survival of patients in the observation group was 16.9 months [95% confidence interval (CI): 14.2 to 19.1 months], which was significantly longer than that in the control group (12.4 months, 95%CI: 10.1 to 15.3 months) (P<0.05). Subgroup analysis result indicated that therapeutic advantage was consistent across both sintilimab and tislelizumab subgroups, with no significant heterogeneity (P>0.1, I 2<0.001%). Before treatment, there were no significant differences in liver function indexes or tumor marker levels between 2 groups (P>0.05). After treatment, both groups showed significant declines in these indicators compared with baseline (P<0.05), with greater reductions observed in the observation group (P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in overall incidence of ADR and grade ≥3 ADRs between the two groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS For patients with unresectable HCC, the combination of donafenib, PD-1 inhibitors and vascular intervention therapy may achieve superior clinical outcomes without increasing the risk of treatment-related ADR.
