Objective To describe the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (SFTS) in Zibo City and identify its environmental influencing factors and potential high-risk areas, and to propose targeted strategies for SFTS prevention and control. Methods Data on SFTS incidence from 2010 to 2024 were collected. Spatiotemporal scan statistics were used to identify the time and area of SFTS clustering. The maximum entropy (MaxEnt) model was used to analyze environmental influencing factors and predict high-risk areas. Results From 2010 to 2024, a total of 459 cases of SFTS were reported in Zibo. The number of SFTS cases increased yearly, with a peak incidence from April to October each year. Spatiotemporal scan statistics showed the existence of one class I cluster and one class II cluster areas in Zibo. The class I cluster was in Yiyuan District and southern Boshan District, from April to September 2024. The class II cluster was in the center of Zichuan District, from July to September 2024. The MaxEnt model showed that yearly average atmospheric pressure (PRS), yearly average evaporation (EVP), yearly average sunshine duration (SSD) and goat density (Goat) were the key factors influencing the occurrence of SFTS. The predicted risk map showed that the area of high prevalence was 1116 km2, accounting for 18.71% of the total area of the city. Conclusion The spatiotemporal distribution of SFTS exhibits heterogeneity and is influenced by multidimensional environmental factors. This should be considered as a basis for delineating SFTS risk areas and developing SFTS prevention and control measures.

Cuproptosis, a recently discovered form of regulated cell death involving copper ion metabolism, has emerged as a promising approach for tumor therapy. This pathway not only directly eliminates tumor cells but also promotes immunogenic cell death (ICD), reshaping the tumor microenvironment (TME) and initiating robust anti-tumor immune responses. However, translating cuproptosis-based therapies into clinical applications is hindered by challenges, including complex metabolic regulation, TME heterogeneity, and the precision required for effective drug delivery. To address these limitations, nanoparticles offer transformative solutions by providing precise delivery of cuproptosis-inducing agents, controlled drug release, and enhanced therapeutic efficacy through simultaneous modulation of metabolic pathways and immune responses. This review systematically discusses recent advancements in nanoparticle-based cuproptosis delivery systems, highlighting nanoparticle design principles and their synergistic effects when integrated with other therapeutic modalities such as ICB, PTT, and CDT. Furthermore, we explore the potential of cuproptosis-based nanomedicine for personalized cancer treatment by emphasizing strategies for TME stratification and therapeutic optimization tailored to patient profiles. By integrating current insights from metabolic reprogramming, tumor immunotherapy, and nanotechnology, this review aims to facilitate the clinical translation of cuproptosis nanomedicine and significantly contribute to the advancement of precision oncology.

OBJECTIVE:
To identify the causative variants in 13 Chinese pedigrees affected with oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) so as to provide genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis to them.
METHODS:
Thirteen unrelated pedigrees with clinically diagnosed OCA were collected and classified based on the manifestation of skin and eyes. With informed consent obtained from the participants, peripheral blood samples were collected from the probands and their family members for the extraction of genomic DNA. Candidate variants were screened by targeted capture and next generation sequencing, and the results were validated by Sanger sequencing. Prenatal diagnosis was provided to the families upon their subsequent pregnancies.
RESULTS:
Causative variants were detected in all probands, including 10 with compound heterozygotes or homozygotes for TYR gene variants and 3 with compound heterozygotes for OCA2 gene variants. Among these, two variants [TYR: c.650G>C (p.Arg217Pro) and OCA2: c.516-2A>T] were unreported previously. The pathogenicity of the novel TYR: c.650G>C (p.Arg217Pro) variant was verified through bioinformatic analysis and prediction of three dimensional structure of the protein. Prenatal diagnosis was provided to 6 fetuses with a high risk for OCA. Four fetuses were found to be carriers, one did not carry the variants of the proband, and one was affected with OCA.
CONCLUSION
Identification of the pathogenic variants in the 13 probands, including 2 novel ones, has expanded the mutational spectrum of OCA and enabled genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis for the families.

Early recognition and treatment for early warning electrocardiogram (ECG) of sudden death are very important to prevent and treat malignant arrhythmia and sudden death. Previous studies have found that R-on-T and T wave alternation, and QT interval prolongation are closely related to malignant arrhythmia or sudden death, which are included in the critical value of ECG.By analyzing the ECG characteristics of 4 patients with sudden death, we found that although the causes of the patients were different, there were transient prolongation of QT interval after premature contraction in 12 lead ECG, followed by malignant arrhythmia or sudden death. Thus, we thought that the transient prolongation of QT interval after premature contraction had a high value for warning malignant arrhythmia or sudden death. This phenomenon should be paid enough attention to reduce the risk of sudden death.

Objective To compare and evaluate the clinical efficacy and side effect of vinorelbine plus gemcitabine and vinorelbine plus cisplatin combinations in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer(NSCLC). Methods 56 cases with non-treated advanced NSCLC were unrandomly divided into two groups: the GN group (27patients) treated with vinorelbine plus gemcitabine, the NP group (29 patients) treated with vinorelbine plus cisplatin,1/3 weeks×2~6 cycles. Results For the GN group, the overall response rate was 37.7 %, MTTP was 5.1months,one year survival rate (1-ySR) was 40.7 %. There were no significant difference in the response rates and the survival rates for the GN group compared with the NP group (P >0.05); But on the side effect of toxicities, WHO grade anemia and nausea/vomiting and tiredness of the GN group was significantly milder than the NP group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Vinorelbine combined Gemcitabine regimen (GN) is active and well-tolerated. It is worth to investigate GN recommended as the first line chemotherapeutic regimen for the treatment of patients with advanced NSCLC.
