Objective:To characterize the epidemiology of respiratory syndrome across healthcare facilities of different types and tiers in Beijing City, to compare pathogen-testing modalities and their associations with adverse outcomes, and to identify key factors associated with progression to severe illness, thereby informing regional prevention, control, and clinical optimization.Methods:The multicenter observational cohort study was performed using outpatient and emergency department data from five sentinel hospitals in Beijing (Beijing Xiaotangshan Hospital, Beijing Chaoyang District Shuangqiao Hospital, Beijing Haidian Hospital, Beijing You′an Hospital, Capital Medical University (Beijing You′an Hospital), and Beijing Ditan Hospital, Capital Medical University (Beijing Ditan Hospital)) from October 1st, 2023 to April 9th, 2025. Dual-target (two-plex) and triple-target (three-plex) respiratory specimens were collected. Demographic characteristics, visit information, pathogen-testing modalities and results were collected, and the epidemiologic features of patients who progressed to severe illness between the influenza high-incidence season (December to May) and the non-influenza season (June to November) were compared. Categorical variables were analyzed using the chi-square test. Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate associations between covariates and risk of progression to severe illness.Results:Among the 192 131 cases, patients visited at Beijing You′an Hospital were concentrated in the 16 to 44 year age group, accounting for 66.79%(32 532/48 708). Beijing Xiaotangshan Hospital had a broad age distribution, with older adults comprising up to 22.35% (885/3 960). Of the 47 349 respiratory specimens across the five hospitals, Beijing You′an Hospital had the highest positivity rate for dual-target testing (46.76%(1 585/3 390)), while Beijing Haidian Hospital conducted the largest number of this tests ( n=12 514). For triple-target testing, Beijing You′an Hospital again had the highest positivity rate (45.03%(2 835/6 296)), whereas Beijing Ditan Hospital tested the most specimens ( n=12 011; positivity rate was 29.73%(3 571/12 011)). The influenza season within the same period (November 2023 to January 2024) exhibited a bimodal pattern, with alternating circulation of influenza viruses and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Among 32 744 outpatients/emergency patients who progressed to severe illness, significant seasonal differences were observed by sex, age, comorbidity status, and infection type ( χ2=6.60, 189.24, 32.71 and 189.99, respectively; all P<0.05). After adjustment for sex, age group, comorbidities, and infection type, testing modality remained significantly associated with risk of progression (dual-target testing, odds ratio ( OR)=0.116, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 0.111 to 0.122, P<0.001); no testing, OR=0.063, 95% CI 0.060 to 0.065, P<0.001). Conclusions:The epidemiological pattern of respiratory pathogens undergo significant changes after October 2023, which is characterized by alternating waves of influenza viruses and SARS-CoV-2 with pronounced seasonality and diversity. Substantial inter-hospital differences are observed in testing modalities and positivity rates. Risk of progression to severe illness varies significantly by sex, age, comorbidity burden, and infection type, and is closely associated with the testing modality. These findings support strengthening multiplex pathogen testing and targeted surveillance of high-risk groups to improve early identification and precise control of febrile-respiratory syndromes.

Objective: To analyze the association between alcohol consumption and lumbar disc herniation (LDH), so as to provide a reference for the development of prevention and treatment strategies for LDH. Methods: From May to July 2022, permanent residents aged ≥18 years from eight counties (cities/districts) in Gansu Province were selected using a multistage stratified random sampling method. Data on basic characteristics, alcohol consumption in the past 30 days, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus were collected through questionnaire surveys. LDH was determined based on imaging findings, combined with disease history or clinical symptoms. Multivariable logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between alcohol consumption and LDH, with subgroup analyses conducted by gender, age, ethnicity, and altitude of residence. Propensity score matching (PSM) was utilized for sensitivity analysis. Results: A total of 4 545 individuals were surveyed. There were 2 026 (44.58%) males and 2 519 (55.42%) females. The mean age was (44.82±15.33) years. The study participants were predominantly of Han ethnicity, with 2 598 persons accounting for 57.17%. The altitude of residence was mainly above 3 500 m, with 1 941 persons accounting for 42.71%. There were 574 alcohol drinkers, accounting for 12.63%. LDH was detected in 1 035 cases, with a detection rate of 22.77%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for gender, age, physical activity, and hypertension, compared to non-drinking residents, alcohol-consuming residents exhibited a 27.6% reduction in the risk of LDH (OR=0.724, 95%CI: 0.544-0.963). No significant interaction effects on LDH risk were observed between alcohol consumption and gender, age, ethnicity, or altitude of residence (all Pfor interaction >0.05). The results of the sensitivity analysis indicated that compared to non-drinking residents, alcohol-consuming residents exhibited a 38.8% reduction in the risk of LDH (OR=0.612, 95%CI: 0.382-0.976). Conclusion Alcohol consumption was statistically associated with a lower risk of LDH.

Objective To explore the application value of small airway function measurement in chil-dren with cough variant asthma(CVA).Methods A total of 155 children with chronic cough who visited the hospital from January to December 2022 were selected as the research subjects and divided into the CVA group(n=78)and the non-CVA group(n=77)according to the results of the bronchial provocation test.The small airway function was evaluated by three indicators in the basic lung function:the percentage of the maximum mid-expiratory flow to the predicted value(MMEF％pred),and the percentage of the instantaneous expiratory flow to the predicted value when forcefully exhaling 50％and 75％of the vital capacity(FEF50％％pred,FEF75％％ pred).If any one of the three indicators is lower than the lower limit of the normal value(＜65％),it is determined as small airway dysfunction.The incidence of small airway dysfunction and the indica-tors of atmospheric airway function[percentage of forced expiratory volume in one second to the predicted value(FEV1％pred),percentage of maximum expiratory flow to the predicted value(PEF％ pred)]and small airway(MMEF％pred,FEF50％％pred,FEF75％％)before and after bronchial provocation tests were compared between the two groups.Results Among 55 children with chronic cough,47 cases were found to have small airway dysfunction,with 33 cases in the CVA group and 14 cases in the non-CVA group.The incidence of small airway dysfunction in the CVA group was higher than that in the non-CVA group[42.3％(33/78)vs.18.2％(14/77)],and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Compared with before the bron-chial provocation test,the levels of large and small airway function indicators in both groups decreased after the bronchial provocation test.The decrease rate in the CVA group was higher than that in the non-CVA group,and the decrease rates of MMEF％pred,FEF50％％pred,and FEF75％％ pred were higher than those of FEV1％ pred and PEF％ pred,the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Small air-way function measurement can be performed in children with CVA for early diagnosis and therapeutic effect e-valuation.

Background:To compare the efficacy and safety of monthly administrations of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists LY01005 and Zoladex ? in Chinese patients with premenopausal breast cancer. Methods:From October 2020 to November 2021, 188 premenopausal breast cancer patients were enrolled in 34 hospitals and randomized 1:1 to receive either LY01005 or Zoladex ? every 28 days for a total of three injections. All patients concomitantly received oral tamoxifen (TAM). The primary efficacy endpoint was cumulative probability of maintaining menopausal level [oestradiol (E2) ≤30 pg/ml] from day 29 to day 85. The second efficacy endpoint included changes in E2, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) compared with the baseline. Pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and safety were analyzed. The study also evaluated the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of LY01005. Results:A total of 188 patients were randomised and 187 patients received either LY01005 or Zoladex ?. Cumulative probabilities of maintaining menopausal level (E2≤30 pg/ml) from day 29 to day 85 were 93.1% for LY01005 and 86.3% for Zoladex ?. The between-group difference was 6.8% (95% CI: -2.3%, 15.9%) and primary efficacy in the LY01005 group was not inferior to that in the Zoladex ? group. Changes in E2, LH, and FSH levels compared with the baseline were equivalent between the two groups (E2: 89.34% to 90.23% vs. 82.11% to 85.02%; LH: 88.89% to 95.52% vs. 89.70% to 97.02%; FSH: 75.36% to 80.85% vs.73.07% to 80.24%, respectively). After three consecutive doses of LY01005, the LH and FSH levels of the subjects showed a transient increase after the first dose, reached a peak on the second day and then started to decrease. The LH and FSH reached a lower level and remained at or below that level until the 85th day. Both treatments were well-tolerated. Conclusion:LY01005 is as effective as Zoladex ? in suppressing E2 to menopausal levels in Chinese patients with premenopausal breast cancer, with a similar safety profile.

Dental invagination is an abnormality of the crown or root development induced during tooth germ devel-opment when the enamel-forming apparatus or epithelial root sheath overpopulates and folds into the papilla.In severe cases,the invaginated channels are connected to the pulp and periodontal tissues,often causing endodontic and periapical diseases.The complex anatomical pattern of this disease adds difficulty in its preoperative diagnosis and clinical opera-tion.In this paper,we report a case of non-surgical treatment assisted by cone beam CT and microscopy for maxillary lat-eral incisor double dens invaginatus type Ⅲ(Ⅲa and Ⅲb)with apical periapical infection.After 1-year follow-up,the af-fected tooth was asymptomatic and the periapical lesion was significantly reduced.

ObjectiveTo screen the differential markers by analyzing volatile components in Dalbergia odorifera and its counterfeits， in order to provide reference for authentication of D. odorifera. MethodThe volatile components in D. odorifera and its counterfeits were detected by headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry（HS-GC-MS）， and the GC conditions were heated by procedure（the initial temperature of the column was 50 ℃， the retention time was 1 min， and then the temperature was raised to 300 ℃ at 10 ℃ for 10 min）， the carrier gas was helium， and the flow rate was 1.0 mL·min^-1， the split ratio was 10∶1， and the injection volume was 1 mL. The MS conditions used electron bombardment ionization（EI） with the scanning range of m/z 35-550. The compound species were identified by database matching， the relative content of each component was calculated by the peak area normalization method， and principal component analysis（PCA）， orthogonal partial least squares-discrimination analysis（OPLS-DA） and cluster analysis were performed on the detection results by SIMCA 14.1 software， and the differential components of D. odorifera and its counterfeits were screened out according to the variable importance in the projection（VIP） value>2 and P<0.05. ResultA total of 26， 17， 8， 22， 24 and 7 volatile components were identified from D. odorifera， D. bariensis， D. latifolia， D. benthamii， D. pinnata and D. cochinchinensis， respectively. Among them， there were 11 unique volatile components of D. odorifera， 6 unique volatile components of D. bariensis， 3 unique volatile components of D. latifolia， 6 unique volatile components of D. benthamii， 8 unique volatile components of D. pinnata， 4 unique volatile components of D. cochinchinensis. The PCA results showed that， except for D. latifolia and D. cochinchinensis， which could not be clearly distinguished， D. odorifera and other counterfeits could be distributed in a certain area， respectively. The OPLS-DA results showed that D. odorifera and its five counterfeits were clustered into one group each， indicating significant differences in volatile components between D. odorifera and its counterfeits. Finally， a total of 31 differential markers of volatile components between D. odoriferae and its counterfeits were screened. ConclusionHS-GC-MS combined with SIMCA 14.1 software can systematically elucidate the volatile differential components between D. odorifera and its counterfeits， which is suitable for rapid identification of them.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of low-dose tirofiban in stent-assisted coil embolization(SAC)for ruptured intracranial aneurysms.Methods From April 2011 to September 2020,335 patients of ruptured intracranial aneurysms with subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH)admitted in the First People's Hospital of Changzhou were retrospectively analyzed.All cases underwent stent-assisted coil embolization within 24-48 h and antiplatelet medications.The patients were divided into dual antibody group(89 cases)and tirofiban group(246 cases).Baseline and clinical data of all patients were collected for comparison between groups,including age,sex,hypertension,diabetes mellitus,Hunt-Hess grade at admission,modified Fisher scale score at admission,aneurysm diameter(＞5 mm,≤5 mm),aneurysm location(anterior circulation,posterior circulation),postoperative acute hydrocephalus or intraventricular hemorrhage,postoperative complete embolization rate of ruptured aneurysm.All patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysm with SAH were confirmed by emergency cerebral CT scan after admission.The Raymond grading criteria were used to evaluate the embolization effect after operation:grade Ⅰ refers to no development(complete embolization),grade Ⅱ refers to only aneurysm neck development(incomplete embolization),and grade Ⅲ refers to aneurysm body development,in which Raymond grading Ⅰ orⅡ indicates effective embolization.Tirofiban group:4.2 μg/kg tirofiban was intravenously injected after the coil was placed in the aneurysm lumen and the stent was released,followed by maintenance dose 0.07 μg/(kg·min)for 6-8 h,and aspirin 100 mg and clopidogrel 75 mg were given as sequential dual antiplatelet therapy 2 hours before the tirofiban infusion was stopped.Dual antiplatelet group:a loading dose of aspirin 300 mg and clopidogrel 300 mg was given at least 2 hours before stent implantation,and then transferred to aspirin 100 mg and clopidogrel 75 mg given on the second day after operation.All patients received aspirin(100mg/d)for 6 months and clopidogrel(75 mg/d)for 3 months after operation.The efficacy indicators,safety indicators,adverse events and other complications of the two groups were collected and compared.The efficacy indicators were the incidence of thrombotic events during operation and within 72 hours after operation.The safety indicators were the incidence of intraoperative and early postoperative intracranial hemorrhage(within 48 hours after operation),the incidence of late postoperative intracranial hemorrhage(over 48 hours after operation),and the incidence of intracranial hemorrhage related to external ventricular drainage(symptomatic and asymptomatic).The adverse event was the occurrence of drug-related thrombocytopenia.Other complications were delayed ischemic events.The modified Rankin scale(mRS)score was used to evaluate the clinical prognosis of patients at 180 days after operation.mRS score ≤2 was defined as good prognosis,mRS score＞2 was defined as poor prognosis,of which 6 was defined as death.Results(1)There were no significant differences in baseline and clinical data between the tirofiban group and the dual antibody group(all P＞0.05).(2)There was no significant difference in the proportion of patients with good outcome(75.2％[185/246]vs.74.2％[66/89],P=0.845)and death(10.2％[25/246]vs.12.4％[11/89],P=0.566)at 180 days after operation between the tirofiban group and the dual antiplatelet group.(3)There was no significant difference in the incidence of intraoperative(0.8％[2/246]vs.4.5％[4/89],P=0.075)and postoperative thrombotic events(11.0％[27/246]vs.13.5％[12/89],P=0.527)between the tirofiban group and the dual antiplatelet group.(4)Results about safety comparison between this two antiplatelet regimens showed that the incidence of early postoperative intracranial hemorrhage were lower in the tirofiban group than that in the dual antiplatelet group(2.8％[7/246]vs.10.1％[9/89],P=0.014).There were no significant differences in the symptomatic external ventricular drainage related intracranial hemorrhage(0 vs.2/15,P=0.050),incidences of intraoperative intracranial hemorrhage(1.6％vs.3.4％,P=0.580),late postoperative intracranial hemorrhage(3.3％vs.4.5％,P=0.836),and drug-related thrombocytopenia(0.4％vs.1.1％,P=0.461)between the two groups.Conclusion Low-dose tirofiban infusion in SAC for ruptured aneurysms may prevent perioperative thromboembolic events without high risk of intracranial hemorrhage.
