ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological characteristics of 21 respiratory pathogens in influenza-like illness (ILI) cases in Jing’an District, Shanghai in 2024, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of respiratory infectious diseases. MethodsData of1 907 ILI cases at four sentinel hospitals in Jing’an District were collected from January to December 2024. Nasopharyngeal swab samples were collected and tested for 21 respiratory pathogens using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods. Chi-square test and Cochran-Armitage trend test were used for data analyses. ResultsAmong the 1 907 ILI cases, 1 340 were tested positive (70.27%), including 1 160 (60.83%) virus-positive cases, 424 (22.23%) bacteria-positive cases , and 86 (4.51%) positive cases of other pathogens (fungi, mycoplasma, and chlamydia). The top five viruses by detection rate were: influenza virus (14.84%), SARS-CoV-2 (14.47%), rhinovirus (12.69%), adenovirus (7.08%), and parainfluenza virus (6.71%). The top two bacteria by detection rate were Streptococcus pneumoniae (14.47%) and Haemophilus influenzae (10.33%). Among other pathogens (fungi, mycoplasma, and chlamydia), Mycoplasma pneumoniae showed the highest detection rate (4.30%). In terms of age distribution, statistically significant differences were observed in the detection rates of SARS-CoV-2, Legionella, and Klebsiella pneumoniae (P<0.05), with the highest rates found in individuals aged 65 years and above. Statistically significant differences were also found in the detection rates of rhinovirus, adenovirus, enterovirus, common coronavirus, respiratory syncytial virus, bocavirus, parainfluenza virus, human metapenu-movirus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae among different age groups (P<0.05), all showing the highest detection rates in the 0‒<15 years age group. In terms of seasonal distribution, SARS-CoV-2, adenovirus, parainfluenza virus, enterovirus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae showed epidemic peaks in summer; rhinovirus, common coronavirus, bocavirus, and Klebsiella pneumoniae had higher detection rates in autumn. Influenza virus exhibited a peak incidence during winter, while human metapenu-movirus peaked in winter and spring. Significant differences in co-infection detection rates were observed among age groups, with the rate in children aged 0‒<15 years (34.81%) being the highest. The co-infection detection rate was higher in males than in females (P=0.019). Both the single-pathogen detection rate and the co-infection detection rate (P<0.001) varied significantly across seasons: the single-pathogen detection rate was highest in winter (62.06%), while the co-infection detection rate peaked in summer (31.20%) and was lowest in winter (14.52%). ConclusionBased on detection rates, the main pathogens in the ILI population of Jing’an District, Shanghai, 2024 were influenza virus, SARS-CoV-2, rhinovirus, adenovirus, parainfluenza virus, common coronavirus, enterovirus, Human metapenu-movirus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Pathogen detection rates varied by age and season. Coinfection rates were much higher in children than in adults, higher in males than in females, and peaked in summer while being lowest in winter.

OBJECTIVE To study the imaging characteristics of the normal cricoarytenoid joint.METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on the upper airway CT images of 175 subjects with normal laryngoscopic findings.According to age groups,a qualitative evaluation was made of the calcification of the arytenoid cartilage(AC),the hyperplasia of the AC,and the degree of stenosis of the cricoarytenoid joint(CAJ).The study aimed to explore the changing trends of these factors with age.We evaluated the spatial position structures such as the length of the vocal cords(l-VC),the distance between the muscle process of the arytenoid cartilage and the thyroid cartilage(d-MPCC),and the angle of the cricoarytenoid joint(a-CAJ).RESULTS There were differences in calcification of AC,hyperplasia of AC and stenosis of CAJ among different age groups.The calcification of AC(r=0.36,P<0.001),hyperplasia of AC(r=0.49,P<0.001)and stenosis of CAJ(r=0.54,P<0.001)the were positively correlated with age.Bilateral l-VC and a-CAJ were symmetry(all P>0.05).CONCLUSION The morphology of the CAJ was symmetrical in the normal population.It gradually underwent calcification,hyperplasia,and stenosis with age.Upper airway CT examination could evaluate the morphology and spatial position of the CAJ,providing an anatomical reference for clinical practice

Objective:To investigate the pregnancy outcomes and cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) after in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection and embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET) in patients with high basal follicle-stimulating hormone (bFSH) levels. Methods:This retrospective cohort study included clinical data from patients who underwent IVF/ICSI-ET treatment at the Reproductive Medical Center of Peking University Third Hospital from January 2018 to December 2022. Patients were divided into three groups based on the highest bFSH level during all cycles of treatment: group A (15 U/L≤bFSH<25 U/L), group B (25 U/L≤bFSH<40 U/L), and group C (bFSH≥40 U/L). After propensity score matching (PSM) based on the female body mass index, the baseline data, embryology laboratory outcomes, and assisted reproductive outcomes such as clinical pregnancy rate among the three groups of patients were compared. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to explore the impact of various factors on live birth, and the trend of CLBR across multiple cycles was also studied.Results:After PSM, 340 cycles were included in group A, 340 cycles were included in group B, 127 cycles were included in group C. There were statistically significant differences among the three groups in antral follicle count, bFSH, basal progesterone, basal luteinizing hormone, and anti-Müllerian hormone levels ( P=0.004, P<0.001, P<0.001, P<0.001, P<0.001). In the analysis of controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) protocols, groups A and B mainly used conventional COS protocol, while group C primarily used mild stimulation protocol. The duration and dosage of gonadotropin used were the highest in group A [10 (7, 12) d, 2 728 (1 650, 3 725) U], with statistically significant differences among the three groups (all P<0.001). On the day of human chorionic gonadotropin injection, there were statistically significant differences in estradiol and progesterone levels among the three groups ( P=0.022 and P=0.048, respectively). The cancellation rate of cycles did not differ significantly among the three groups ( P>0.05), while the number of oocytes retrieved ( P<0.001) and the rate of cycles with no transferable embryos ( P=0.034) showed statistically significant differences. The type of embryos transferred in all three groups was mainly cleavage-stage embryos, and there were statistically significant differences in the rate of two pronuclei and high-quality embryos among the groups ( P=0.003 and P=0.006, respectively). The rate of high-quality embryos decreased with increasing bFSH levels, and comparisons between group A and group B, as well as group A and group C, showed statistically significant differences (all P<0.016 7). The biochemical pregnancy rate and the clinical pregnancy rate in fresh cycles differed significantly among the three groups ( P=0.025 and P=0.010, respectively), while the live birth rate per initiated cycle showed marginal significance ( P=0.058). However, the miscarriage rate and the live birth rate per transfer cycle did not differ significantly among the groups (all P>0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that bFSH ( OR=0.955, 95% CI: 0.912-1.000, P=0.050) and the number of oocytes retrieved ( OR=1.104, 95% CI: 1.009-1.207, P=0.031) were independent predictors of live birth. Analysis of CLBR curves across multiple oocyte retrieval cycles showed that CLBR gradually increased with the number of oocyte retrievals and stabilized at 14.32% after the fifth retrieval. Conclusion:High bFSH levels reduce the live birth rate per initiated cycle but do not affect the live birth rate per transfer cycle. Increasing age and a low number of oocytes retrieved can both decrease the live birth rate. Multiple oocyte retrieval and transfer cycles can improve CLBR in patients with high bFSH level to some extent, but it tends to stabilize after the fifth cycle.

Since the birth of the first "test-tube baby" in Chinese mainland in 1988, assisted reproductive technology (ART) in China has matured significantly. The number of ART cycles has surpassed one million, and the number of assisted reproductive institutions and practitioners has attained a significant scale, contributing to the establishment of a fertility-friendly society. However, due to the complexity of the ART process, the diversity of personnel backgrounds, and the profound impact of any error that may occur, there is an urgent need to establish an efficient and effective safety management model for error prevention. This paper aims to outline the key processes and steps involved in the implementation of ART, explore control measures for these critical processes, and delve into error prevention strategies for gamete and embryo laboratories through the creation and utilization of a "gamete safety checklist".

Objective:To investigate the outcomes of natural cycle (NC) and modified natural cycle (MNC) assisted reproductive technology (ART) in patients with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), and to provide a scientific basis for individualized treatment strategies for DOR patients.Methods:A retrospective cohort analysis was performed on the clinical data of DOR patients who underwent ART at the Center for Reproductive Medicine of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Peking University Third Hospital from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2023. Patients were divided into the NC group ( n=801) and the MNC group ( n=385) based on their treatment protocol. The primary outcomes were cycle cancellation rate and oocyte retrieval rate. Secondary outcomes included clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rate per fresh embryo transfer cycle and frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycle, cumulative pregnancy rate and cumulative live birth rate per started cycle and per transfer cycle, as well as laboratory parameters such as the number of retrieved oocytes, the number of two pronuclei (2PN) fertilized oocytes, the number of transferable embryos, and transferable embryo formation rate. Further, multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the impact of the treatment protocol on pregnancy and live birth outcomes. Results:There were no statistically significant differences between the NC and MNC groups in terms of general characteristics such as age, body mass index, and baseline hormone levels (all P>0.05). The cycle cancellation rate was significantly higher in the NC group [19.10% (153/801)] than in the MNC group [10.65% (41/385), P<0.001], and the oocyte retrieval rate was significantly lower in the NC group [66.31% (431/650)] than in the MNC group [74.86% (259/346), P=0.005]. The number of retrieved oocytes [1 (0,1)], the number of 2PN fertilized oocytes [1 (0,1)], and the number of transferable embryos [0 (0, 1)] were also significantly lower in the NC group than in the MNC group [1 (1, 2), P<0.001; 1 (1, 1), P<0.001; 0 (0, 1), P<0.001]. However, there were no statistically significant differences in 2PN fertilization rate and transferable embryo formation rate between the NC and MNC groups (all P>0.05). In both fresh embryo transfer cycles and frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles, there were no statistically significant differences in clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rate between the NC and MNC groups (all P>0.05). The cumulative pregnancy rate per started cycle and transfer cycle, the cumulative live birth rate per started cycle and per transfer cycle were also not significantly different between the NC and MNC groups (all P>0.05). Multivariate logistic analysis showed no significant association between NC and clinical pregnancy or live birth compared with MNC. Conclusion:While MNC to some extent reduced the cycle cancellation rate and improved oocyte retrieval rates compared with NC, it did not ultimately improve pregnancy outcomes in DOR patients.

To provide in-service medical technicians and nurses with convenient access to continuing education resources in transfusion medicine, reduce transfusion-related adverse events, and ensure the safety, rationalization, and effectiveness of clinical transfusion, we designed and developed an online transfusion continuing education platform. The platform was based on the new managed code programming model.NET Core and the powerful functions of hypertext preprocessor PHP 7.4, addressing current issues in transfusion online continuing education. Through in-depth analysis of student attributes, learning behaviors, and teaching behaviors, a comprehensive online continuous teaching quality evaluation index system was established. This system not only facilitates the quantitative assessment of teaching quality but also successfully integrates the two core functions of teaching and management, thereby achieving unified online teaching.

Objective:To investigate brain damage and treatment efficacy in patients with first-episode schizophrenia with comorbid auditory and visual hallucinations and cognitive decline based on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Methods:This study adopted a retrospective cohort design. Eighty patients with first-episode schizophrenia who received treatment at Wenzhou Seventh People's Hospital from January to June 2024 were included in this study. The patients were divided into an observation group (40 cases of first-episode schizophrenia with comorbid auditory and visual hallucinations) and a control group (40 cases of first-episode schizophrenia without comorbid auditory and visual hallucinations) based on whether they had symptoms of comorbid auditory and visual hallucinations. Forty healthy individuals who concurrently underwent physical examinations were included in the normal group. All patients received standardized treatment. Cranial MRI data were collected from all subjects. Cranial MRI data, Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) score, Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) score, and changes in cognitive function were compared among the three groups. Additionally, the changes in cranial MRI data, PANSS score, GAF score, and the score of MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB) in the observation group were compared between before and after treatment.Results:The horizontal distance between the corpus callosum and the underside of the cingulate gyrus, the vertical distance between the corpus callosum and the underside of the cingulate gyrus, and PANSS and GAF scores in the observation group were all significantly higher than those in the normal and control groups (all P < 0.05). The scores on all MCCB scales in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the normal and control groups (all P < 0.05). After treatment, the left horizontal distance between the corpus callosum and the underside of the cingulate gyrus [(5.72 ± 0.71) mm] and the right horizontal distance [(5.13 ± 0.55) mm], as well as the left vertical distance [(6.37 ± 0.69) mm] and the right vertical distance [(5.61 ± 0.67) mm], were all significantly lower than the pre-treatment values [(6.98 ± 0.83) mm, (6.07 ± 0.49) mm, (7.54 ± 0.58) mm, and (6.52 ± 0.51) mm, t = 7.30, 8.07, 8.21, 6.84, all P < 0.05]. Post-treatment PANSS scores [(39.95 ± 6.65)] were significantly lower than pre-treatment scores [(97.47 ± 18.47)], while post-treatment GAF scores [(71.26 ± 8.87)] were significantly higher than pre-treatment scores [(34.68 ± 7.71), t = 18.53, 19.69, both P < 0.05]. Post-treatment scores for the MCCB [(8.57 ± 2.45), (2.25 ± 0.47), (25.16 ± 2.43), (24.10 ± 2.64), (17.08 ± 2.25), (20.43 ± 3.76), (2.07 ± 0.36), (22.16 ± 3.24), (57.81 ± 7.69), (0.28 ± 0.05)] were significantly higher than pre-treatment scores [(5.65 ± 1.37), (1.62 ± 0.34), (21.21 ± 2.27), (20.27 ± 1.78), (12.16 ± 2.08), (14.56 ± 2.34), (1.71 ± 0.25), (17.92 ± 1.64), (40.29 ± 6.56), (0.21 ± 0.03), t = 6.58, 6.87, 7.51, 7.61, 10.15, 8.38, 5.19, 7.38, 10.96, 7.59, all P < 0.05]. Conclusions:The comorbid auditory and visual hallucinations in patients with first-episode schizophrenia, based on brain MRI findings, are closely related to cognitive decline and brain damage. After treatment, both cognitive function and cranial damage in these patients have considerably improved, which is worthy of clinical consideration.
