Cervical spinal cord injury without fracture-dislocation (CSCIWFD) is referred to as a special type of cervical spinal cord injury characterized by traumatic spinal cord dysfunction and no significant bony structural abnormalities on imagines. Duo to the high risk of missed diagnosis during the initial consultation, CSCIWFD may lead to progressive neurological deterioration or even complete paralysis, severely impacting patients′ prognosis. Currently, there are no established consensuses over the diagnosis and treatment of CSCIWFD, such as the lack of evidence-based standards for indications of non-surgical treatment and risk of secondary neurological injury, as well as debates over the optimal timing for surgical intervention and indications for different surgical approaches. To address these issues, the Spine Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the relevant fields to formulate Diagnosis and treatment guideline for acute cervical spinal cord injury without fracture- dislocation in adults ( version 2025) . Based on evidence-based medicine and the principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability, the guidelines proposed 11 recommendations covering terminology, diagnosis, evaluation treatment, and rehabilitation, etc., aiming to standardize the management of CSCIWFD.

Wastewater-based epidemiology has emerged as a transformative surveillance tool for estimating substance consumption and monitoring disease prevalence, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. It enables the population-level monitoring of illicit drug use, pathogen prevalence, and environmental pollutant exposure. In this perspective, we summarize the key challenges specific to the Chinese context: (1) Sampling inconsistencies, necessitating standardized 24-hour composite protocols with high-frequency autosamplers (≤ 15 min/event) to improve the representativeness of samples; (2) Biomarker validation, requiring rigorous assessment of excretion profiles and in-sewer stability; (3) Analytical method disparities, demanding inter-laboratory proficiency testing and the development of automated pretreatment instruments; (4) Catchment population dynamics, reducing estimation uncertainties through mobile phone data, flow-based models, or hydrochemical parameters; and (5) Ethical and data management concerns, including privacy risks for small communities, mitigated through data de-identification and tiered reporting platforms. To address these challenges, we propose an integrated framework that features adaptive sampling networks, multi-scale wastewater sample banks, biomarker databases with multidimensional metadata, and intelligent data dashboards. In summary, wastewater-based epidemiology offers unparalleled scalability for equitable health surveillance and can improve the health of the entire population by providing timely and objective information to guide the development of targeted policies.

Objective:The Fuxing Program was established in Zhuhai as an action plan to micro-eliminate hepatitis C in response to the World Health Organization's goal of eliminating hepatitis C by 2030. Therefore, the effectiveness of this program in terms of hepatitis C screening, treatment, follow-up, and other aspects is evaluated here.Methods:The "Fuxing Project" was established in May 2021 under the supervision of the Zhuhai Medical Quality Control Center for Infectious Diseases. A bridge was formed among the governmental entities, hospitals at all levels, and the community to train hepatitis C prevention and control strategies. Hepatitis C screening, publicity, and educational awareness were conducted in-and out-of-hospital. The responsibility for the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of a patient with hepatitis C was assigned to the staff. The screening and treatment rates of hepatitis C in hospitals before and after the initiation of the project were compared and analyzed using the χ2 test or Fisher's exact test. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and treatment status were investigated and analyzed among the general population, high-risk populations such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, drug addicts, and the population residing in supervised sites within Zhuhai communities, rural areas, schools, or factories. Results:Anti-HCV positivity rate (0.82% vs. 0.43%, P<0.001), HCV RNA detection rate (98.1% vs. 59.5%, P<0.001), HCV RNA detection positivity rate (52.56% vs. 29.76%, P<0.001), HCV RNA positivity rate (0.4% vs. 0.13%, P<0.001), and hepatitis C treatment rate (76.76% vs. 31.97%, P<0.001) were significantly higher among the inpatient population after the Fuxing Program initiation than before. The HCV RNA detection rate (58.52% vs. 6.93%, P<0.001) and HCV RNA detection positivity rate (77.72% vs. 29.41%, P<0.001) in Zhuhai were significantly higher after the Fuxing Program initiation than before. Anti-HCV positivity rate (0.46% vs. 1.28%, P=0.009) and HCV RNA (0.32% vs. 0.99%, P=0.03) were significantly lower in the Zhuhai general population of urban communities than those of the general population in rural areas. The HCV infection rate was more than three times higher in rural populations than in urban populations. Anti-HCV positivity rate, HCV RNA positivity rate, HCV RNA detection positivity rate, and hepatitis C treatment rates were 2.64% (31/1 175), 3.40% (69/2 022) and 94.4% (34/36), 2.64% (31/1 175), 2.72% (55/2 022), 50.00% (18/36), and 100% (31/31), 79.71% (55/69) and 52.94% (18/34), and 100% (31/31), 0 (0/55) and 55.55% (10/18) among the HIV infection, supervised population under supervised sites, and methadone maintenance treatment clinic population, respectively. Anti-HCV positivity rate (4.15% vs. 0.72%, P<0.001) and HCV RNA (3.22% vs. 0.53%, P<0.001) were significantly higher in the high-risk group than those in the general population, while the treatment rate of hepatitis C in the high-risk group (39.42% vs. 82.35%, P<0.01) was significantly lower than that of the general population. Conclusion:The establishment of the hospital grid linkage mechanism and the management model of hepatitis C follow-up by specialists, with the infectious diseases medical quality control center as the supervisory body, have improved the screening rate, the HCV RNA detection rate, and the treatment rate in the hospital, thereby providing a reference for exploring a management model to eliminate the nationwide threat of hepatitis C.

Objective:To optimize the technical parameters related to the preparation of novel frozen human platelets and formulate corresponding protocol for its preparation.Methods:Novel frozen human platelets were prepared with O-type bagged platelet-rich plasma(PRP),the key technical parameters(DMSO addition,incubation time,centrifugation conditions,etc.)of the preparation process were optimized,and the quality of the frozen platelets was evaluated by routine blood tests,apoptosis rate,platelet activation rate and surface protein expression level.Results:In the preparation protocol of novel frozen human platelets,the operation of centrifugation to remove supernatant was adjusted to before the procedure of platelets freezing,and the effect of centrifugation on platelets was minimal when the centrifugation condition was 800 xg for 8 min.In addition,platelets incubated with DMSO for 30 min before centrifugation exhibited better quality after freezing and thawing.The indexes of novel frozen human platelets prepared with this protocol remained stable after long-term cryopreservation.Conclusion:The preparation technique of novel frozen human platelets was established and the protocol was formulated.It was also confirmed that the quality of frozen platelets could be improved by incubating platelets with DMSO for 30 min and then centrifuging them at 800 ×g for 8 min in the preparation of novel frozen human platelets.

Objective To study the diagnosis,treatment,and complications of hypophosphatemic rickets(HR)in children,explore effectiveness evaluation indicators for the disease,and understand the pattern in height growth among these patients.Methods A retrospective analysis of the initial clinical data and five-year follow-up data of 85 children with HR treated at Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2008 to December 2022.Results Among the 85 children with HR,there were 46 males(54%)and 39 females(46%).The age at initial diagnosis ranged from 6 months to 13 years and 9 months,with a median age of 2.75 years.The average height standard deviation score was-2.0±1.1.At initial diagnosis,children exhibited reduced blood phosphate levels and elevated alkaline phosphatase(ALP),with 99%(84/85)presenting with lower limb deformities.The positive rate for PHEX gene mutations was 93%(55/59).One year post-treatment,there was a significant reduction in ALP levels and the gap between the lower limbs(P<0.05).The fastest height growth occurred in the first year after treatment,at 8.23 cm/year,with a peak height velocity(PHV)phase lasting about two years during puberty.The height increased by 9-20 cm in male children during the PHV stage and 10-15 cm in female children.Major complications included nephrocalcinosis and hyperparathyroidism.The incidence rate of nephrocalcinosis in the first year after treatment was 55%(22/40),which increased with the duration of the disease(P<0.001);an increased urinary phosphate/creatinine ratio was positively associated with a higher risk of nephrocalcinosis(OR=1.740,P<0.001).The incidence of hyperparathyroidism in the first year after treatment was 64%(27/42).Conclusions For children presenting with lower limb deformities,short stature,and slow growth,early testing for blood levels of phosphate,calcium,and ALP,along with imaging examinations of the lower limbs,can aid in the early diagnosis of HR.Genetic testing may be utilized for definitive confirmation when necessary.ALP combined with improvements in skeletal deformities and annual height growth can serve as indicators of therapeutic effectiveness for HR.Compared to normal children,children with HR demonstrate a lower height increase during the PHV phase,necessitating close follow-up and timely adjustment of treatment plans

Aim To study the active ingredients and mechanism of action of Xinkeshu tablets against myo-cardial ischemia by network pharmacology and ze-brafish model.Methods The anti-myocardial ische-mia activity of Xinkeshu tablets was evaluated by iso-prenaline hydrochloride(ISO)-induced zebrafish myo-cardial ischemia model and H2O2-induced H9c2 dam-age model.The active ingredients of Xinkeshu tablets were retrieved using databases such as TCMSP.The potential targets were predicted by PharmaMapper data-base.Myocardial ischemic disease targets were searched by OMIM database.The potential therapeutic targets of Xinkeshu tablets against myocardial ischemia were analyzed.GO and KEGG enrichment analysis were conducted on core targets.The active ingredients were verified by zebrafish and cell model.qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of key targets.Re-sults Xinkeshu tablets could significantly alleviate ISO-induced pericardial edema and bradycardia.It al-so could increase sinus venous-bulb aortic(SV-BA)distance and improve the cell viability.The 30 poten-tial active ingredients of Xinkeshu tables mainly acted on 30 core targets,including ALB,AKT1 and MAPK1,to regulate 627 GO items,including protein phosphorylation,negative regulation of apoptosis and positive regulation of PI3K signal transduction.KEGG results showed that 117 signaling pathways,including PI3K/Akt,FOXO and Ras,exerted anti-myocardial ischemia effect.Salvianolic acid A,lithospermic acid,rosmarinic acid,salvianolic acid D,salvianolic acid B,ginsenoside Rg2,hyperoside,3'-methoxypuerarin,3'-hydroxypuerarin and ginsenoside Rg1 could alleviate ISO-induced zebrafish myocardial ischemia and im-prove the cell viability.Xinkeshu tablets could upregu-late the expression of genes such as ras and akt1,and downregulate the expression of genes such as mapk1 and mapk8.Conclusion The active ingredients,in-cluding salvianolic acid A in Xinkeshu tablets,exert anti-myocardial ischemia effects by targeting targets,such as AKT1,MAPK1,and regulating signaling path-ways,such as PI3K/Akt,MAPK and Ras.
