Objective:To analyze the epidemic trend of influenza-like illness(ILI)cases,etiological detection results,and the evolution of the hemagglutinin(HA)gene of the predominant strains in Hanzhong City,Shaanxi Province during the 2018-2024 influenza seasons.Methods:ILI sentinel surveillance data and network laboratory test results during the 2018-2024 influenza seasons in Hanzhong City,Shaanxi Province were collected for descriptive analysis. The HA gene sequences of 25 predominant strains were obtained through whole-genome deep sequencing method,and then compared with the vaccine strains recommended by the World Health Organization in the same period to analyze the evolution of the virus.Results:A total of 37 770 cases of ILI were reported in Hanzhong City during the 2018-2024 influenza seasons,and the proportion of total ILI cases(ILI%)was 2.87%(37 770/1 316 009). The epidemic trend of ILI showed an obvious epidemic peak in winter and spring(from December of the current year to March of the following year). The specimens with the highest positive rate were of type A(H3N2)(39.12%,365/933),and the predominant epidemic strains in each influenza season alternated among A(H1N1)pdm09(in the 2018-2019 and 2022-2023 influenza seasons),A(H3N2)(in the 2019-2020 and 2023-2024 influenza seasons)and B(Victoria)(in the 2021-2022 influenza season). The phylogenetic relationship gradually became more distant over time across different influenza seasons. Among them,the epidemic strains of A(H1N1)pdm09 belonged to the 6B.1 clade,and the evolution mainly occurred in the Sa and Sb regions of the HA epitope. Meanwhile,the epidemic strains of A(H3N2)belonged to the 3C clade,and the evolution mainly took place in the A,B and C regions of the HA epitope. The strains of the B(Victoria)lineage belonged to the V1a.3a.2 clade,and the evolution mainly occurred in the 120-loop,150-loop,and 190-helix regions of the HA epitope.Conclusions:The influenza epidemic in Hanzhong City has obvious seasonality,and the amino acids of the epidemic strains have shown a certain degree of variation over the years. In future prevention and control work,influenza surveillance should be continuously strengthened,and the change trend of the predominant circulating strains should be closely monitored.

BACKGROUND:
Anlotinib is a newly developed small molecule multiple receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitor that was approved for the treatment of patients with lung cancer in China. We aim to report 3 cases of rare complication of anlotinib-bronchial fistula (BF) during the treatment of lung cancer patients and summarize the possible causes.
METHODS:
We collected three patients who developed BF due to anlotinib treatment, and conducted a search of Medline and PubMed for medical literature published between 2018 and 2020 using the following search terms: "anlotinib," "lung cancer," and "fistula."
RESULTS:
Our literature search produced two case reports (three patients) which, in addition to our three patients. We collated the patients' clinical characteristics including demographic information, cancer type, imaging features, treatment received, risk factors for anlotinib related BF, and treatment-related outcomes. The six patients shared some common characteristics: advanced age, male, concurrent infection symptoms, diabetes mellitus (DM), advanced squamous cell and small cell lung cancers, centrally located tumors, tumor measuring ≥5 cm in longest diameter, and newly formed tumor cavitation after multi-line treatment especially after receiving radiotherapy. Fistula types included broncho-pericardial fistula, broncho-pleural fistula, and esophago-tracheobronchial fistula. Six patients all died within 6 months.
CONCLUSIONS
Although anlotinib is relatively safe, it is still necessary to pay attention to the occurrence of BF, a rare treatment side effect that threatens the quality of life and overall survival of patients. Anlotinib, therefore, requires selective use and close observation of high-risk patients.

Patients with advanced lung cancer should be given proper hospice care .Doctors should not only practice protective medicine on the foundation of laws and regulations , informing the patients about their conditions tactfully , but also try their best to provide the patients with optimal therapeutic strategies , taking the patient's physi-cal tolerance, economy, etc.into account and achieving the goal of humanized and individualized therapy .Mean-while, the construction of professional medical -nursing institution is in urgent need .Only providing general nurs-ing in multiple aspects of illness , mental health , social functions , can we relieve the pain both physically and men-tally, and improve the patient's quality of their terminal times .
