This paper introduces a real-world cohort research model for community-acquired pneumonia （CAP） based on the Jiangsu Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCM） Dominant Diseases Diagnosis and Treatment Data Platform. Firstly， data cleaning is performed by standardizing diagnosis， symptoms， treatment and imaging， intelligently extracting unstructured information， and cleaning and constructing a standardized database. Secondly， for cohort establishment， CAP patients across the province are screened in accordance with CAP diagnostic criteria to build a high-quality disease-specific cohort. Lastly， in terms of protocol design， the characteristics of TCM research and the CAP disease profile are considered to determine appropriate inclusion and exclusion criteria， estimate sample size， define interventions， outcomes and economic evaluations， providing a reference for real-world TCM research on CAP.

Objective Magnetoreception, the remarkable ability of diverse animals to sense and utilize the geomagnetic field for orientation and navigation, remains a molecularly unresolved mystery in sensory biology. The putative magnetoreceptor (MagR, previously known as IscA1) is a highly conserved iron-sulfur protein implicated in both magnetoreception and iron metabolism; however, the functional diversity among its cross-species homologs remains poorly understood. Cellular morphology is a key genetically determined trait that can be altered through genetic or environmental modifications—a process known as cell morphology engineering. Constructing engineered cells with specific morphological features and magnetic sensitivity to achieve remote, non-invasive magnetic modulation represents a crucial goal in this field with significant application potential. Therefore, this study aims to systematically investigate the effects of MagR heterologous expression on bacterial morphology and magnetic sensing capabilities, screen for MagR-based magnetically sensitive morphology engineering pathways, and reveal the underlying molecular mechanisms. Methods We systematically screened 28 MagR homologous genes from diverse prokaryotic and animal taxa to evaluate their expression and corresponding phenotypic effects in Escherichia coli (E. coli). To compare the differential magnetic responses among bacteria expressing various recombinant MagR proteins, we utilized high-throughput automated bright-field microscopic imaging and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Furthermore, comprehensive biochemical and biophysical characterizations of iron and iron-sulfur cluster binding were performed using Ferrozine colorimetric assays, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption, and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. Additionally, 100 mT static magnetic field (SMF) exposure experiments were conducted to assess magnetically tunable phenotypes, while the intrinsic magnetic properties of purified MagR proteins were directly measured using a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer. Results Our results demonstrated that the heterologous expression of MagR homologs induced varying degrees of bacterial filamentation. From this comprehensive screen, two distinct morphological patterns were identified: hydra (Hydra vulgaris) MagR (hyMagR) promoted uniform cell elongation and filamentation, exhibiting robust magnetic sensitivity manifested as significantly enhanced filamentation under the 100 mT SMF. In contrast, pigeon (Columba livia) MagR (clMagR) induced only low-frequency, extreme filamentation (sporadically exceeding 80 μm) with a relatively weaker magnetic morphological response. Mechanistically, our data unambiguously proved that these phenotypic differences are primarily driven by distinct iron redox preferences rather than total cellular iron accumulation. Specifically, hyMagR preferentially binds ferrous iron (Fe²⁺), whereas clMagR favors ferric iron (Fe³⁺) and forms more stable iron-sulfur clusters. Intriguingly, although SQUID magnetometry showed that purified clMagR exhibited approximately five-fold higher mass magnetic susceptibility than hyMagR, its cellular magnetic response was weaker. We hypothesize that the Fe²⁺-preferred intracellular environment associated with hyMagR overexpression primes the cell for enhanced generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) via the Fenton reaction. Exposure to an SMF synergizes with this primed redox state, triggering the bacterial SOS response and upregulating cell division inhibitors to efficiently induce uniform filamentation. Conclusion Our findings identify the Fe²⁺/Fe³⁺ redox state as a critical determinant of MagR-mediated morphological remodeling and magnetic responsiveness. This discovery suggests a potential strategy for engineering magnetically responsive cellular systems for synthetic biology applications, and provides a plausible framework, which potentially combines intrinsic protein magnetism with redox-state modulation, for further investigating the evolutionary mechanisms of MagR-mediated magnetoreception.

Work serves as a critical means of obtaining resources, facilitating personal growth, realizing self-worth, and engaging in social interactions. However, work-related diseases pose significant threats to workers’ health and productivity, and impose considerable economic burdens. This article categorized work-related diseases into six major types, including musculoskeletal disorders, mental and behavioral disorders, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, digestive system diseases, reproductive system diseases, and non-specific respiratory diseases, and summarized their risk factors, assessment methods, policy regulation, and prevention and control measures. Current research in this field predominantly relies on cross-sectional studies, which present limitations in causal inference and potential risks of bias. Future studies should expand sample sizes, optimize research designs, and establish multidimensional evaluation systems to comprehensively assess the health and economic impacts of work-related diseases. It is recommended to enhance the translation of research findings into practice, thereby providing a scientific basis for the occupational health protection system and promoting the well-being and sustainable development of the working population.

In 2022， Hainan provincial government launched the project for the prevention and control of viral hepatitis with the goals of a hepatitis B screening rate of 90%， a diagnostic rate of 90%， and a treatment rate of 80% among people aged 18 years and above by the year 2025， and the main intervention measures include population-based prevention， case screening， antiviral therapy， and health management. As of December 31， 2024， a total of 6.875 million individuals in the general population had been screened for hepatitis B， with a screening rate of 95.6%. A total of 184 710 individuals with positive HBsAg were identified， among whom 156 772 were diagnosed through serological reexamination， resulting in a diagnostic rate of 84.9%. A total of 50 742 patients with chronic hepatitis B were identified， among whom 42 921 had hepatitis B-specific health records established for health management， with a file establishment rate of 84.6%. A total of 31 553 individuals received antiviral therapy， with a treatment rate of 62.2%. A total of 2.503 million individuals at a high risk of hepatitis C were screened， among whom 4 870 tested positive for HCV antibody and 3 858 underwent HCV RNA testing， resulting in a diagnostic rate of 79.2%， and 1 824 individuals with positive HCV RNA were identified， among whom 1 194 received antiviral therapy， with a treatment rate of 65.5%. In addition， 159 301 individuals with negative HBsAg and anti-HBs and an age of 20 — 40 years were inoculated with hepatitis B vaccine free of charge.

Objective:To analyze the clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic factors of patients with Castleman disease (CD).Methods:A retrospective case-series study was conducted. A total of 85 patients newly diagnosed with CD in the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University between July 2007 and August 2024 were collected. Their clinical characteristics and prognostic factors were analyzed.Results:Among the 85 patients, 45 had unicentric Castleman disease (UCD) and 40 had multicentric Castleman disease (MCD). In the UCD group, females were more commonly affected (64.4%, 29/45), with a median age of onset of 39 years. The primary lesions were mainly located in the retroperitoneum, neck, abdomen, and axilla; and the hyaline vascular subtype was the predominant pathological type (69.4%, 25/36). In the MCD group, males were more frequently affected (62.5%, 25/40), with a median age of onset of 50 years; and the plasmacytic subtype was the main pathological type (68.2%, 15/22). Compared with UCD patients, MCD patients presented more systemic symptoms and signs [85.0% (34/40) vs. 13.3% (6/45), χ2 = 43.66, P < 0.001], splenomegaly [42.5% (17/40) vs. 2.2% (1/45), χ2 = 20.58, P < 0.001], hepatomegaly [25.0% (10/40) vs. 0 (0/45), χ2 = 10.46, P = 0.001], edema or effusion in serous cavity [67.5% (27/40) vs. 8.9%(4/45), χ2 = 31.40, P < 0.001], hematological system involvement [32.5% (13/40) vs. 0 (0/44), χ2 = 16.92, P < 0.001], and renal involvement [22.5% (9/40) vs. 2.3%(1/44), χ2 = 6.36, P = 0.012]. Laboratory findings showed that the levels of hemoglobin and albumin in MCD patients were lower than those in UCD patients, while white blood cell count in MCD patients was higher than that in UCD patients. Additionally, MCD patients exhibited elevated levels of C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, vascular endothelial growth factor, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and ferritin compared to UCD patients (all P < 0.05). Among UCD patients, 40 cases underwent simple surgical resection, with no deaths during follow-up and the 5-year overall survival (OS) rate of 100.0%; among MCD patients, 34 cases received chemotherapy, 4 received siltuximab, 3 died during follow-up with a 5-year OS rate of 87.5%; and there was no statistically significant difference in OS between the MCD and UCD groups ( χ2 = 3.67, P = 0.055). Among MCD patients, the OS of those with renal involvement (9 cases) was worse than that of those without renal involvement (31 cases) ( χ2 = 8.39, P = 0.004). Conclusions:CD is a highly heterogeneous disorder. Surgical resection is the primary treatment for UCD, with a favorable prognosis. Chemotherapy is the main treatment for MCD, with a relatively poor prognosis.

Objective To investigate the association between cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis and im-munonutritional status in the Kangbei Plateau and construct a prediction model.Methods A total of 121 pa-tients with active pulmonary tuberculosis treated at Ganzi County People's Hospital from June 2023 to June 2024 were retrospectively enrolled and divided into cavitary group(n=53)and non-cavitary group(n=68)based on imaging findings.Clinical and laboratory data were collected.Influencing factors for pulmonary cavi-tation in tuberculosis were screened using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis to construct a prediction model.The model's performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test.Results The cavitary group had higher proportions of smokers,spu-tum-positive cases,patients with disease duration>6 months,and patients with respiratory symptoms at ini-tial diagnosis,as well as higher neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR),platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio(PLR),neutrophil count,and platelet count than the non-cavitary group(P<0.05).Conversely,the prognostic nutri-tional index(PNI),lymphocyte count,and albumin(ALB)level were lower in the cavitary group(P<0.05).Multivariate analysis identified disease duration,NLR,and ALB as influencing factors for pulmonary cavitation in tuberculosis patients(P<0.05).The prediction model yielded an area under the curve(AUC)of 0.909,and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test indicated good model fit(χ2=10.740,P=0.217).Conclusion Pulmonary cavitation in high-altitude tuberculosis patients is associated with disease duration,ALB,and NLR.The com-bined predictive value of these three indicators is high.

Objective:This study aimed to investigate the association between anemia and hypothyroidism during early pregnancy.Methods:We conducted a retrospective analysis of 3,165 pregnant women who registered at Qingdao Women and Children's Hospital from April 2021 to March 2022.Participants were categorized into a hypothyroidism group(n=177)and a euthyroid control group(n=2 988).Maternal demographic data,anemia-related markers(hemoglobin,Hb),and thyroid function parameters(FT3,FT4,TSH)were collected.Statistical analyses included independent t-tests,chi-square tests,Spearman correlation,and multivariate logistic regression.Results:The hypothyroidism group exhibited a significantly higher anemia incidence(10.17%vs 5.02%,P<0.05)and lower mean Hb levels(122.70±10.19 g/L vs 124.60±9.19 g/L,P<0.05)compared to controls.Spearman analysis revealed positive correlations between Hb and FT3(r=0.176)and FT4(r=0.051)(both P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression identified anemia as an independent risk factor for hypothyroidism(OR=2.038,95%CI:1.202～3.455,P=0.008).Conclusion:Anemia in early pregnancy is associated with the risk of hypothyroidism.We recommend enhanced thyroid function screening and early intervention for anemic pregnant women to mitigate potential complications.

Acute pancreatitis(AP)is a common digestive disorder associated with moderate to high nutritional risks,necessitating timely nutritional support.Over the past five decades,medical nutrition therapy for AP has undergone a paradigm shift,transitioning from traditional fasting based on the"pancreatic rest theory"to the current emphasis on early enteral feeding to"awaken the gut."Currently,nutritional treatment has become a cornerstone of comprehensive AP management.The European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism(ESPEN),founded in 1980,is a leading professional organization dedicated to advancing research,clinical practice,and education in clinical nutrition and metabolism.To date,ESPEN has published five evidence-based guidelines on nutritional management in pancreatic diseases.This article reviews the evolution of AP nutritional therapy as outlined in these ESPEN guidelines,highlighting key recommendations and their clinical implications.
