Objective To investigate the natural progression of pulmonary ground-glass nodule(GGN)to invasive adenocarcinoma(IAC)and the diagnostic value of follow-up CT.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 45 GGN in 45 patients who were followed up for more than 2 years,surgically resected and pathologically confirmed.They were divided into IAC group(n=25)and non-IAC group(n=20),and the clinical and imaging characteristics between the two groups were compared.Results Significant differences were observed in initial volume(P=0.025),initial mass(P=0.005),margin(P=0.027),and time to GGN progression(P=0.005)between the IAC group and the non-IAC group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that initial mass and time to GGN progression were independent predictors for the diagnosis of IAC.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis results revealed that when using a maximum Youden's index of 0.456,the optimal cutoff for time to GGN progression was 30 months,with a sensitivity of 75.0%and a specificity of 70.6%,and an area under the curve(AUC)of 0.761[95%confidence interval(CI)0.606-0.916](P=0.005).When the maximum Youden's index reached 0.615,the sensitivity,specificity and AUC of the logistic regression model in the diagnosis of IAC were 79.2%,82.4%,and 0.860(95%CI 0.743-0.977)(P=0.001),respectively.The calibration curves demonstrated an excellent consistency between predicted and observed probabilities.Conclusion The optimal observation window for GGN is 30 months,during which IAC generally progresses.Close monitoring is recommended after the initiation of lesion growth.

In February 2025, a local cluster outbreak caused by the D8 genotype Measles virus (MV) was first discovered in Henan Province. Epidemiological investigations and laboratory testing were conducted, including the collection of serum and throat swabs for MV IgM antibody and nucleic acid detection, virus isolation and genetic homology analysis. Measures such as close contact tracing, vaccination rate assessment and supplementary immunization activities were implemented, successfully preventing broader community transmission. A total of three cases were reported during the outbreak, including one imported-related adolescent and two secondary local adult cases. All cases presented with typical symptoms such as fever and rash. Both adult cases were complicated by pneumonia, with one case developing into severe pneumonia. MV genotyping showed that the two secondary cases were both the D8 genotype, with the viral sequences being completely homologous to the Kazakhstan strain. Among the close contacts, 98.2% were adults, and 142 individuals received emergency vaccination.

Objective To explore the transvaginal three-dimensional ultrasound characteristics in women with abnormal uterine cavity and compare the diagnostic value with hysteroscopy.Methods A total of 102 women who underwent transvaginal three-dimensional ultrasound and hysteroscopy in the Department of Ultrasound of Lu'an People's Hospital for various reasons were selected as the research subjects.Hysteroscopy was the gold standard.The three-dimensional ultrasound characteristics of patients with different uterine cavity lesions were statistically analyzed.A 2×2 4-grid table was drawn to calculate the diagnostic value of transvaginal three-dimensional ultrasound for various types of uterine cavity lesions.Results There were 22 cases of endometrial polyps,9 cases of intrauterine adhesions,and 5 cases of submucosal fibroids.The accuracy rates of diagnosing endometrial polyps,intrauterine adhesions and submucosal fibroids through transvaginal three-dimensional ultrasound were 90.91%,88.89%and 80.00%,respectively.The transvaginal three-dimensional ultrasound of patients with endometrial polyps mainly showed deformation of the uterine cavity line,high echoic masses,clear differentiation between the edge of the echogenic mass and the endometrium,almost no deformation of the endometrial basal line,and scattered distribution of blood flow on CDFI ultrasound.Intrauterine adhesions mainly manifested as uneven endometrial thickness and low echogenicity by transvaginal three-dimensional ultrasound,and fluid accumulation may found in the uterine cavity of some patients.Transvaginal three-dimensional ultrasound showed that submucosal fibroids were mainly hypoechoic,elliptical or irregular in shape,with CDFI revealing abundant blood flow signals.Conclusion When women with abnormal uterine cavity are examined with transvaginal three-dimensional ultrasound,patients with different types of lesions have different typical ultrasound characteristics,and transvaginal three-dimensional ultrasound diagnosis has a high diagnostic accuracy with respect to hysteroscopy as the gold standard,exhibiting its advantages of non-invasive and rapid diagnosis,worthy of clinical promotion.

ObjectiveTo analyze the temporal trend of knockdown resistance (kdr) gene mutations highly correlated with pyrethroid resistance in field populations of Aedes aegypti in Jinghong City of Yunnan Province, and to provide a scientific basis for formulating rational insecticide use strategies. MethodsAdult mosquito samples of Aedes aegypti from 2016 to 2023 and larvae mosquito samples from July 2022 to June 2023 were collected in Jinghong City of Yunnan Province. Allele specific PCR (AS-PCR) was used to measure kdr mutations at amino acid positions 989, 1016 and 1534 of the voltage-gated sodium ion channel (VGSC) gene. Data such as mutation rate and mutation allele frequency were calculated, SPSS software was used to perform trend chi square tests on mutation rate and mutation allele frequency with year and month, as well as comparison of mutation allele frequencies and genotype distributions between the dry and rainy seasons, thereby delineating the temporal trend of kdr gene mutations. ResultsAmong the 173 samples collected from 2016 to 2023, the mutation rates of S989P and V1016G were 100.00% for each year, while the mutation rate of F1534C ranged from 62.50% to 100.00%. The mutation rate and mutation allele frequency of F1534C were increased over the years (χ²=22.079, P<0.001; χ²=42.971, P<0.001). Concurrently, the proportion of the PPGGCC genotype was increased annually (χ²=60.790, P<0.001). Among the 288 samples collected from July 2022 to June 2023, the monthly mutation rates for S989P, V1016G, and F1534C were consistently 100.00%. There was only one type of mutation present, namely S989P+V1016G+F1534C. In the combinations of the three genotypes, the SPGGCC genotype accounted for 1.39% (4/288), the PPGGFC accounted for 2.78% (8/288), and the PPGGCC had the highest proportion at 95.83% (276/288). After tesiting the samples collected in August 2023, the mutation rates of 989, 1016 and 1534 sites of VGSC in females, males, and larvae of the same generation were all 100.00%. ConclusionSince 2016, the gene mutations at S989P and V1016G loci in the VGSC gene of wild Aedes aegypti in Jinghong City have remained consistently at 100.00%, while the mutation rate and mutant allele frequency of F1534C have increased year by year during the testing period. By 2023, the mutation rates at three loci in the VGSC gene of Aedes aegypti in Jinghong City had all reached 100.00%, and neither changes in insect developmental stage nor gender differences during transmission exerted a detectable impact on the mutation rates. In the control of Aedes aegypti in Jinghong City, the use of pyrethroid insecticides should be stopped or reduced, and regular monitoring of kdr genes should be carried out to promptly detect new mutations.

Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)is a chronic intestinal disorder characterized by an immune response to factors in the intestinal environment.Dysregulation of the gut microflora(GM)may lead to inflammation.Studies suggest that fecal microbiota transplantation,probiotics,prebiotics,and dietary treatments may reshape the GM and treat the disease.MicroRNAs(miRNAs)participate in physiological processes,including cell development,proliferation,and apoptosis.Additionally,miRNAs are important for inflammatory processes and play a role in regulating pro-and anti-inflammatory pathways.MiRNA profiles may serve as diagnostic and prognostic markers for IBD.The relationship between miRNAs and GM has not been fully elucidated,and recent studies have demonstrated their roles in regulating GM and inducing ecological dysbiosis.In turn,GM regulates miRNA expression and improves intestinal homeostasis.It is important to continue exploring this relationship.Therefore,the purpose of this review is to analyze the relationship between gut microbiota and miRNAs in IBD and identify possible precision-targeted therapies for IBD.

Objective:To analyze the changes in the retinal and choroidal microvascular structures in the macular region of patients with acute central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC), as well as the influencing factors of subretinal fluid (SRF) volume.Methods:A prospective selection of 37 patients with monocular acute CSC diagnosed by ophthalmology examination at the Xi ′an First Hospital from January to October 2023 was conducted. The affected eye group was Group A, and the contralateral eye was Group B. The right eye of 30 age and gender matched normal individuals during the same period was selected as the normal eye group (group C). The scanning frequency source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCTA) was used to scan the macular area of the tested eye within a range of 6 mm×6 mm. We analyzed and recorded the vascular density (VD), perfusion area (PA), retinal thickness (RT), choroidal thickness (CT), as well as choroidal vascular volume (CVV) and choroidal vascular index (CVI) of the superficial and deep retinal capillary plexus (SCP) and deep retinal capillary plexus (DCP) in the macular area of 0-1 mm, 0-3 mm, and 0-6 mm using our own software. At the same time, we recorded the volume of SRF in the affected eye group. We compared the changes in VD, PA, RT, CT, CVV, and CVI among three groups. The Spearman rank correlation test was used to analyze the correlation between SRF volume and microvascular structural parameters.Results:(1) There was no statistically significant difference in VD and PA of SCP between the affected eye group and the contralateral eye group within the range of 0-6 mm in the macular area (all P>0.05); The VD and PA of SCP in the affected eye group and the contralateral eye group were lower than those in the normal eye group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05); The VD and PA of DCP in the affected eye group were lower than those in the contralateral eye group, and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). Within the range of 0-3 mm in the macular area, the VD and PA of DCP in the affected eye group and the contralateral eye group were lower than those in the normal eye group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The RT of the affected eye group was higher than that of the contralateral eye group, and the RT of the contralateral eye group was higher than that of the normal eye group, with statistical significance (all P<0.05). (2) Within the range of 0-6 mm in the macular area, the CT of the affected eye group was higher than that of the contralateral eye group, and the CT of the contralateral eye group was higher than that of the normal eye group, with statistical significance (all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the CVV and CVI of the choroidal vessels between the affected eye group and the contralateral eye group (all P>0.05); The CVV and CVI of the choroidal vessels in the affected eye group and the contralateral eye group were higher than those in the normal eye group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). (3) The volume of SRF is negatively correlated with the VD of DCP within the range of 0-3 mm in the macular area ( P<0.05), and positively correlated with CT within the range of 0-6 mm ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Acute CSC is a binocular choroidal disease, and choroidal thickening is mainly due to the thickening of the large and medium vascular layers; Acute CSC can cause a decrease in superficial and deep retinal blood flow density in the macular region; The volume of SRF is negatively correlated with the VD of DCP and positively correlated with CT.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.
