ObjectiveTo analyze the composition of respiratory virus pathogen spectrum and epidemiological characteristics among adult influenza-like illness (ILI) cases in Putuo District of Shanghai from 2015 to 2024, to summarize the epidemic patterns of respiratory viruses across different time periods and populations, and to provide scientific evidence for the prevention and control of adult respiratory virus infections in Putuo District of Shanghai. MethodsSurveillance data of 2 273 adult ILI cases from sentinel hospitals under the comprehensive surveillance system for acute respiratory infections in Putuo District of Shanghai from 2015 to 2024 were retrospectively collected. Descriptive epidemiological methods were adopted to analyze the temporal and population distribution characteristics of respiratory viruses, including influenza virus (IFV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), adenovirus (ADV), and human metapneumovirus (HMPV). The mixed infection status among different age groups was compared, and the distribution of influenza virus subtypes was described. SPSS 22.0 and WPS Office software were used for statistical analyses. ResultsThe overall detection rate of respiratory viruses in 2 273 adult ILI cases was 43.51%. The detection rate in females (45.48%) was significantly higher than that in males (41.25%), with statistical significance (χ²=4.113, P=0.043). Individuals aged 60 years old and above had the highest detection rate (47.41%) (χ²=8.430, P=0.014). The detection rates in winter (50.41%) and summer (48.42%) were higher than those in other seasons (χ²=47.028, P<0.001). The overall viral detection rate decreased after 2020 (χ²=208.411, P<0.001). Detection rates of various viruses varied by year, with IFV and ADV showing high rates from 2015 to 2019 (all P<0.001), while human coronavirus (HCoV) and rhinovirus/enterovirus (HRV/EV) exhibited higher rates from 2020 to 2022 (all P<0.001). Co-infection with IFV and HCoV was the most common, followed by co-infection with IFV and ADV, together accounting for 50.00% of all mixed infections. During the surveillance period, the detection rate of IFV was significantly higher than that of other respiratory viruses. Influenza B/Victoria lineage predominated in 2021, followed by successive predominance of influenza A(H1N1), A(H3N2), and the co-circulation of the two subtypes from 2022 to 2023. Influenza A(H1N1) re-emerged as the predominant subtype in the first half of 2024. ConclusionFrom 2015 to 2024, respiratory virus infections in adults prevailed in winter and summer, and people aged 60 years old and above were the key high-risk population. The detection rates of respiratory viruses declined after 2020. IFV was the predominant pathogen detected, and different influenza virus subtypes circulated alternately each year.

Human genetic resources are an indispensable part of national natural science and technology resources,as well as an important strategic resource for safeguarding national security,public health,and social public interests.To promote the effective protection and rational utilization of human genetic resources,as well as improve and optimize the local human genetic resources management system in China,this paper summarized the current situation of administrative approval and supervision of national human genetic resources from 2004 to 2021 by sorting out the national human genetic resources management policies and regulations.Furthermore,the current situation and progress of local human genetic resources management in China were understood from three aspects,including development planning and programs of human genetic resources,administrative licensing and penalties,and the construction of management expert committees.The main problems of local human genetic resources management in China were discussed and analyzed,such as unclear supervision,difficulty in supervision and inspection,and capacity for services.Based on the causes of the problems and the local management work,specific countermeasures and suggestions were put forward from the perspective of clarifying the regulatory policies and procedures for human genetic resources,improving the supervision and inspection mechanisms,and improving the management and service capabilities.

Objective:To analyze the vascular distribution of palmar digital arteries in syndactyly through color Doppler ultrasound angiography and make the classification according to the level of artery bifurcation points, discusse its clinical significance.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed for the data of children with congenital and digital malformations admitted to Wuxi Ninth People’s Hospital from January 2017 to December 2022. Preoperative vascular ultrasonography of the hand was performed to locate the bifurcation point of the common palmar digital artery in the digital webbed area. The vascular conditions were classified according to the distance between the bifurcation point and the 1/3 point of the proximal phalangeal as the reference, such as normal type (<0 mm), mild reduction type (0-5 mm), moderate decrease type (6-10 mm), and severe reduction type (>10 mm), absent type (only 1 artery between the fingers). The total variation of the bifurcation point of the common palmar digital artery in the children, as well as the proportion of different vascular condition subtypes were recorded. According to the classification of blood vessels, the corresponding operation plan was made. The positioning accuracy of color Doppler ultrasound angiography was evaluated based on the gold standard of common palmar digital artery bifurcation points detected during operation. Complications such as postoperative infection, flap necrosis, finger vasospasm and the morphology of finger web at the last follow-up were observed. Descriptive statistical analysis was used.Results:A total of 123 children with 181 finger webs were enrolled, including 72 males and 51 females, aged 10-28 months. There were 55 cases of simple type, 36 cases of complex type (bone) and 32 cases of Poland syndrome. Color Doppler ultrasound angiography showed that the total variation rate of the common palmar digital arterial bifurcation point was 24.3% (44/181), of which 11.6% (21/181) were mildly reduced type, 8.3% (15/181) were moderately reduced type, 3.3% (6/181) were severe reduced type, and 1.1% (2/181) were absent type. The vascular variation rates of simple syndactyly, bony syndactyly, and Poland syndrome were 0 (0/55), 19.5% (7/36), and 41.1% (37/90), respectively. Compared with the actual situation during surgery, the positioning accuracy of color Doppler ultrasound angiography was 100%. All pediatric surgeries were successfully completed, and the flaps and skin grafts survived smoothly. There were no postoperative complications such as infection, vascular crisis, or finger necrosis. All patients were followed up for 6 to 27 months, with an average of 13.5 months. At the last follow-up, the depth, width, and slope of the fingerwebs were all close to normal.Conclusion:Congenital syndactyly has a high variation rate at the bifurcation point of the common palmar digital artery, and bony syndactyly and Poland syndrome refer to the need to improve preoperative vascular evaluation. Color Doppler ultrasound angiography has the advantages of no radiation, high sensitivity and low price, and the vascular typing based on color Doppler can improve the reliable basis for the formulation of clinical surgical plans.

Under the background of technological assistance to prepare for the Beijing Winter Olympics in China, the biomechanical research highlights and the latest achievements related to competitive performance of alpine skiers in recent years were systematically analyzed in this paper, so as to determine biomechanical factors affecting competitive performance of alpine skiers, including aerodynamic drag, frictional forces, ground reaction force (GRF), energy dissipation, turn radius, trajectory of the skis and/or center of mass (COM). In addition, biomechanical differences in turn techniques, multiple turns connections and abilities of individuals were also considered as important factors affecting the alpine skiing performance. In the case of slalom and giant slalom events, the earlier initiation of turns, longer path length and trajectory, earlier and smoother application of GRF, and carbene technique carving to reduce the ski-snow friction and thereby dissipate energy should be used to improve sports performance. During speed skiing, minimizing the exposed frontal area and positioning the arms close to the body can reduce the energy loss caused by aerodynamic drag, thereby improving sports performance. Top-level alpine skiers will always perform well on different courses, terrains and snow conditions during the race. Excellent alpine ski performance from a biomechanical perspective includes the efficient use of potential energy, minimizing ski-snow friction and aerodynamic drag, choosing optimal trajectory and maintaining high-speed skiing. Individual tactics and techniques should be valued in training and competition. For better results, the same performance on multiple sections and on different terrains is more important than excellence in individual sections and specific conditions.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of occlusal interference on the afferent pathway of the trigeminal nerve and neuronal excitability in the trigeminal subnucleus caudalis (SPVC) of rats by electrical stimulation of the trigeminal ganglion (TG) and extracellular recordings of SPVC activities. METHODS: Twenty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group and model group (=10). In the model group, occlusal interference for 30 consecutive days was induced using light-cured flowable resin on the right maxillary molars. During occlusal interference, the pain sensitivity was scored with von Frey Fibers in the masseter. Simultaneous recordings of electrical activities from the SPVC, electrocardiogram, body temperature and electromyogram of the breath muscles of the anesthetized rats were performed, and the responses evoked by electrical stimulation of the TG were analyzed. RESULTS: Compared with the control rats, the rats in the model group showed significantly increased pain sensitivity scores ( < 0.05) and increased spontaneous discharge frequency of the SPVC ( < 0.05). The amplitude of the SPVC responses induced by electrical stimulation of the TG showed stimulus intensity-dependent changes ( < 0.05), and the amplitude evoked by 4 mA and 8 mA stimulation was similar between the model group and the control group (>0.05). Train stimulation (0.2 ms, 1 mA, 30 s, 100 Hz) of the TG significantly increased the discharge frequency of the SPVC only in the rats in the model group ( < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The functional activities of the pain afferent pathway of the trigeminal nerve can be electrophysiologically monitored by electrical stimulation of the TG and extracellular recordings of SPVC activities in rats. Occlusal interference can increase the excitability of the neurons in the SPVC and enhance their sensitivities to TG afferent activation, suggesting the neural plasticity of the pain afferent pathway.

Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of the long-term intermittent maintenance treatment with tacrolimus 0.03％ ointment versus traditional treatment in reducing relapses and prolonging the recurrence interval in children with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD).Methods A two-phase randomized,open-labelled,controlled clinical trial was conducted from September 2012 to November 2013.In the first phase,a total of 171 children aged 2-15 years with moderate to severe AD were enrolled from 7 hospitals in China,and received conventional treatment with tacrolimus 0.03％ ointment twice a day for 2-6 weeks.At the end of the treatment,the patients who achieved an investigator's global assessment (IGA) score ≤ 2 (n =125) were randomly classified into 2 groups to receive the second-phase treatment:test group (n =62) receiving intermittent maintenance treatment with tacrolimus 0.03％ ointment twice a week (Monday and Thursday),and control group (n =63) receiving no treatment.If the patients in the 2 groups experienced relapse,they received conventional treatment with tacrolimus 0.03％ ointment twice a day.The overall observation period was 6 months.The primary endpoint was the time to the first relapse,which was defined as the number of days from the end of the first-phase treatment to the first relapse.The secondary endpoints included the number of relapses at the second-phase trial,the disease severity at the time of relapse,the duration of relapse,the pruritus score at the time of relapse,the total amount of tacrolimus ointment used,the total response rate at the second-phase trial,and the incidence of adverse events.Results A total of 125 children with AD were enrolled into the second-phase trial,and 121 of them completed the follow-up.Among the 121 patients,the recurrence rate was significantly lower in the test group (25/60,41.7％) than in the control group (46/61,75.4％;x2 =14.20,P ＜ 0.001).The time to the first relapse was significantly longer in the test group (46.9 ± 37.7 d) than in the control group (28.8 ± 32.3 d;Z =1 093.50,P =0.020).The total number of recurrence was 31 and 86 in the test group and control group respectively,and the mean number of recurrence in each patient was significantly lower in the test group (0.52 ± 0.68) than in the control group (1.41 ± 1.23,t =4.96,P ＜ 0.001).There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding disease severity during relapse (eczema area and severity index:Z =971.50,P =0.39),duration of relapse (Z =747.00,P =0.07),and pruritus score during relapse (Z =894.00,P =0.95).The therapeutic drug was tolerated well in all the children,and no tacrolimus-related serious adverse events occurred.Conclusion The intermittent maintenance treatment with tacrolimus 0.03％ ointment twice a week for 6 months can effectively and safely prevent and reduce relapses,and prolong the recurrence interval in children with moderate to severe AD.

Objective: To evaluate left atrial (LA) function and synchrony in lone atrial fibrillation (LAF) patients by two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) and to explore the predictive value of 2D-STE parameters for AF recurrence after ablation procedure. Methods: Our research included in 2 groups: LAF group,n=50 patients diagnosed in our hospital from 2013-06 to 2015-05; it was further divided into 2 subgroups as Non-LA enlargement subgroup,n=34 and LA enlargement subgroup,n=16 and Control group,n=35 healthy subjects. With sinus rhythm, 2D-STE was conducted to obtain LA peak ventricular systolic longitudinal strain (PALS), strain rate (SRs) and atrial contraction longitudinal strain (ACLS), strain rate (SRa). Standard deviation for the time to peak (TPSD) of regional strain was calculated. TPSD during ventricular systole was named as SDs and TPSD during ventriculardiastole was named asSDa. Results: Compared with Control group, LAF group had reduced PALS (28.34±8.57) vs (38.73±6.13), SRs (1.17±0.31) vs (1.57±0.25), ACLS (14.11±4.91) vs (18.86±3.57 ) and SRa (-1.41±0.58) vs (-1.90±0.30), allP<0.05; while elevated SDs (8.11±3.00) % vs (4.67±1.48) % and SDa (5.57±2.26) % vs (3.11±1.13) %, bothP<0.05. Furthermore, Compared with Control group, Non-LA enlargement subgroup had decreased PALS, SRs, ACLS and SRa, allP<0.05; while increased SDs and SDa, bothP<0.05. Logistic regression analysis indicated that compared with traditional parameters, SDs and SDa could more effectively distinguish LAF patients from normal subjects (SDs with the sensitivity 83%, speciifcity 72% and SDa with the sensitivity 81%, speciifcity 76%). Elevated SDa and SDs were the best predictors for post-operative AF recurrence (SDs with the sensitivity 80%, speciifcity 71% and SDa with the sensitivity 86%, speciifcity 79%). Conclusion: 2D-STE may detect LA dysfunction and dyssynchrony in LAF patients, abnormal parameters could be found in LAF patients without LA enlargement. SDs and SDa were the best predictors for post-operative AF recurrence.

Objective: To study the value of speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) for assessing left ventricular remodeling (LVR) in patients of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with late percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: A total of 127 STEMI patients with elective PCI were enrolled. Echocardiography was conducted within 48 hours of admission and the patients were followed-up for 6-9 (median 7.8) months after discharge. LVR was deifned by left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV) elevation >15% than the ifrst echocardiography. The patients were divided into 2 groups: LVR group,n=41 and Non-LVR group,n=84. Results: There were significant differences between 2 groups in left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS), longitudinal Ts-SD, radial strain (RS) and longitudinal postsystolic index. Further Logistic regression analysis indicated that GLS (OR=0.39, 95% CI 0.26-0.57,P<0.01) and RS (OR=1.07, 95% CI 1.02-1.13,P=0.01) were the independent predictors for LVR occurrence; ROC presented that the optimal cut-off value for GLS was -10.85% (sensitivity 89.7%, specificity 91.7%) and for RS was 28.46% (sensitivity 82.1%, speciifcity 66.7%). Conclusion: STE measured GLS and RS were the independent predictors for LVR occurrence in STEMI patients with late PCI.
