Owing to its inherent advantages—such as being non-destructive, rapid, highly molecule-specific, and minimally interfered with by moisture—Raman spectroscopy has been widely adopted in the fields of skin barrier function assessment, monitoring the transdermal penetration of active cosmetic ingredients, and the identification and quality control of cosmetic products. Despite these strengths, the practical application of this technique faces a significant bottleneck: the strong fluorescence background generated by endogenous skin components and exogenous cosmetic additives. Endogenous skin substances, such as structural proteins (e.g., collagen and elastin), metabolic coenzymes (e.g., nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), and pigments (e.g., melanin), together with exogenous cosmetic constituents like organic colorants, chemical sunscreens, and fragrances, often possess strong absorption and emission characteristics. When excited by lasers, these components produce a fluorescence background that can be 10⁶ to 10⁸ times stronger than the Raman scattering signals, effectively masking the inherently weak vibrational fingerprint information. In recent years, driven by the rapid development of optoelectronic hardware and artificial intelligence algorithms, fluorescence suppression strategies have evolved from isolated, single-method approaches into comprehensive, multi-level synergistic systems. These systems are categorized into three distinct tiers: sample preparation, signal acquisition, and data processing. At the sample preparation level, techniques such as photobleaching and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) are employed to eliminate or bypass the generation of fluorescence at the source. At the signal acquisition level, instrumental improvements—including the use of long-wavelength near-infrared excitation (typically 785 nm or 1 064 nm), confocal spatial filtering, and shifted excitation Raman difference spectroscopy (SERDS)— are utilized to physically isolate Raman signals from the fluorescence background. Furthermore, at the data processing level, numerical baseline correction methods such as polynomial fitting, penalized least squares (e.g., airPLS, arPLS), wavelet transform, and derivative algorithms are increasingly integrated into the analytical pipeline to extract Raman spectral features from mixed signals without increasing hardware costs or acquisition time. This review provides a systematic categorization and critical evaluation of these fluorescence suppression methods, detailing their underlying principles, technical advantages, and inherent limitations in diverse experimental setups. By focusing on critical application scenarios—including skin barrier assessment, percutaneous absorption monitoring, the routine quality control of cosmetics, and the emerging field of portable on-site detection—this paper explores the current state of technique selection and optimization. Finally, the article discusses future development trends, emphasizing the necessity of constructing adaptive, tiered suppression strategies, developing intelligent and automated data processing algorithms, and promoting the integration of portable, multi-modal diagnostic devices. The objective of this review is to provide a comprehensive technical reference to facilitate the transition of Raman spectroscopy from a specialized laboratory tool into a routine, robust analytical platform for advancements in skin science and cosmetic research.

Objective To use a physics-informed neural network(PINN)-based model to predict hemodynamics in intracranial aneurysms and address the problems of long simulation time and high computational cost in traditional computational fluid dynamics(CFD)simulations.Methods The PINN model was trained using only the computational domain coordinates and sparse velocity measurement points from CFD data of clinical patients.The predicted blood flow velocity,pressure,and wall shear stress(WSS)from the PINN model were compared with CFD simulation results.Results The proposed method was used to test and validate data from four different patients.For velocity prediction,the average mean absolute error(MAE),average mean relative error(MRE),average mean squared error(MSE)was 4.60％,6.61％,and 0.229％,respectively.For WSS prediction,the average MAE,MRE and MSE was 5.54％,8.58％,and 0.510％,respectively.The PINN model demonstrated a good generalization capability across different aneurysm models and could reduce the computation time of hemodynamics from several hours to just a few seconds.Conclusions The PINN model can effectively compensate for incomplete measurement data through physical constraints,even when boundary conditions are unknown and measurement data are sparse.It can rapidly and accurately simulate the hemodynamics of intracranial aneurysms.This method has the potential to provide effective support for clinical risk prediction in intracranial aneurysms.

This study analyzed the burden and trends in enteric infections in China from 1990 to 2021 from a One Health perspec-tive.Data on mortality associated with enteric infections were extracted from the 2021 Global Burden of Disease(GBD)database.The analysis focused on assessing the mortality rates of enteric infectious diseases attributed to various etiologies and risk factors,along with the age and sex distribution,from 1990 to 2021.Average annual percentage change(AAPC)was used to assess the total changes in disease burden.The age-standardized mortality rate of intestinal infections in China decreased from 9.642/100 000 in 1990 to 0.439/100 000 in 2021,with an AAPC of-57.103%(95%CI:-57.118%to-57.088%).In 2021,Rotavirus,Norovirus,and Crypto-sporidium were the top three etiologies contributing to disease burden,with mortality rates of 1.020/100 000,0.040/100 000 and 0.079/100 000,respectively.A significant variation in etiology distribution was observed across age groups:Rotavirus,Shigella,and Crypto-sporidium dominated among children under 5 years of age,whereas Cryptosporidium,Norovirus,and Clostridioides difficile were more prevalent in older populations.Risk factor analysis indicated that unsafe water sources and poor sanitation accounted for 73.394%of all enteric disease-related deaths.In conclusion,the burden of enteric infections in China markedly declined from 1990 to 2021,and sig-nificant variations in the etiological spectrum and disease burden were observed across age groups.The persistent effects of unsafe wa-ter sources and poor sanitation underscore the need for targeted interventions to further decrease the burden of these diseases.Our find-ings highlight the success of public health interventions in decreasing the burden of enteric infections in China,while emphasizing the need for targeted measures to address disparities in high-risk populations and improve environmental sanitation.

Objective:To investigate the applicability and surgical effect of direct horizontal suture in the repair of defects after the excision of eyelid nevus.Methods:The clinical data of patients with eyelid nevus who were admitted to Department of Facial and Neck Plastic Surgery, Plastic Surgery Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from March 2015 to March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. After the eyelid nevus was removed, the defect was closed by horizontal suture parallel to the eyelid margin. In the preoperative simulation suture scheme, one or more horizontal lines were marked on the eyelid skin according to the scope of the nevus. The intersection points of the horizontal lines and the edges of the nevus were marked for simulated suturing. If the marked points aligned horizontally, direct suturing was applied. After 3 months of postoperative follow-up, the therapeutic effect was evaluated based on eyelid function (classified as excellent, good and poor), cosmetic effects (classified as excellent, good and poor) and patient satisfaction (classified as very satisfactory, satisfactory and dissatisfactory). At the same time, the effect of different wound length (<1 cm, 1-2 cm, >2 cm) on the therapeutic effect was also analyzed. SPSS 27.0 software was used for statistical analysis of the data. The counting data were represented by examples and percentages, and Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison between groups. P<0.05 indicated that the difference was statistically significant. Results:A total of 71 patients were enrolled, including 30 males and 41 females. Aged 4 to 35 years old, with an average age of 15 years old. The lesions involved the upper eyelid in 47 cases, the lower eyelid in 14 cases, and co-involved in 10 cases. Lesion areas ranged from 0.5 cm×0.5 cm to 2.3 cm×2.0 cm. None of the lesions involved the palpebral margin and conjunctiva, and the depth did not reach the orbicularis oculi muscle. Immediately after the operation, all the patients had different degrees of eyelid deformation, and some severe patients had difficulty opening their eyes. The above symptoms were relieved within 7 days to 3 months after the operation, and eventually the eyelid movement returned to normal, leaving only mild scarring. In cases where the eyelid nevus was close to or involved the eyebrow area, eyebrow shape changed after surgery, and it gradually returned to normal after 1 month. Some patients with part of the eyebrow defect were able to improve their appearance through eyebrow tattoos, eyebrow transplatation and other methods. The eyelid function of 71 patients was excellent. The evaluation of cosmetic effect, 41 cases (58%) were excellent, and 30 cases (42%) were good. The evaluation of patient satisfaction, 56 cases (79%) were very satisfied, and 15 cases (21%) were satisfied. Statistical analysis showed that with the increase of the horizontal length of the wound, the cosmetic effect and patient satisfaction would be affected to a certain extent, but the differences were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Conclusion:For eyelid nevus excision defects that can be closed horizontally, direct suturing method should be considered priority. This method is simple to perform, offers stable postoperative effects, and leads to high patient satisfaction.

Objective:To investigate the value of nomogram model based on CT features in differentiating ectopic pancreas (EP) from gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) with a long diameter less than 3 cm.Methods:This study was a case-control study. The clinical and imaging data of 43 patients with EP and 90 patients with GIST confirmed by pathology in the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from August 2013 to March 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Preoperative CT images were analyzed to obtain qualitative features (number of lesions, location, morphology, growth pattern, borders, cystic degeneration, calcification, ulceration, catheter sign, central umbilication) and quantitative features (lesion long diameter, short diameter, long/short diameter, lesion and normal pancreas arterial-phase and venous-phase CT values, and enhancement ratio). Statistical analyses, including independent sample t-tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, χ2 tests, and Fisher exact tests, were performed to compare CT characteristics between the two groups. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to obtain independent predictors to identify the two groups, to establish a joint model, and to draw a nomogram. The discriminative performance of the independent predictors and the combined model was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, while calibration curves were used to evaluate model fit. Results:The differences in age, location, morphology, border, catheter sign, central umbilication, short diameter, long/short diameter, arteriovenous phase enhancement CT value and arteriovenous phase enhancement ratio were statistically significant between the EP group and the GIST group (all P<0.05). The logistic analysis showed that the differences in age ( OR=0.920, 95% CI 0.885-0.956, P<0.001), border ( OR=5.994, 95% CI 2.111-17.022, P=0.001), long/short diameter ( OR=7.820, 95% CI 1.841-33.224, P=0.005), and venous phase enhancement ratio ( OR=8.847, 95% CI 1.103-70.972, P=0.040) were the independent predictors for distinguishing EP from GIST, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) were 0.782 (95% CI 0.698-0.866), 0.684 (95% CI 0.600-0.767), 0.705 (95% CI 0.607-0.803), and 0.693 (95% CI 0.605-0.781), respectively. Combined age, border, long diameter/short diameter and venous phase enhancement ratio were plotted in a nomogram with an AUC of 0.881 (95% CI 0.817-0.945), sensitivity and specificity of 74.4% and 93.3%, respectively. The calibration curve demonstrated a strong agreement between predicted and actual probabilities (Hosmer-Lemeschow test, P=0.267). Conclusions:CT imaging reveals significant differences between EP and small GISTs (<3 cm). EP is more likely when patients are younger and lesions exhibit indistinct borders, a higher long-to-short diameter ratio, and greater venous-phase enhancement. The nomogram derived from CT features provides a valuable tool for differentiating EP from GIST.

This paper reported a case of fetal congenital chloride diarrhea (CCD) indicated by prenatal ultrasound and confirmed by whole-exome sequencing. At 26 weeks and two days of gestation, a routine prenatal ultrasound revealed fetal bowel dilation and numerous floating echogenic particles in the amniotic fluid, suggesting the possibility of CCD. Multiple follow-up ultrasounds in late pregnancy showed persistent bowel dilation, polyhydramnios with numerous floating echogenic particles, and fetal development larger than the gestational age. Whole-exome sequencing and Sanger validation revealed two compound heterozygous mutations in the fetal SLC26A3 gene: c.2006C>A (p.S669*) inherited from the mother and c.1355T>A (p.L452Q) inherited from the father, leading to a diagnosis of CCD. Postnatally, the infant exhibited persistent watery diarrhea. Based on prenatal ultrasound and diagnostic results, the infant was immediately given intravenous and oral electrolyte supplementation after birth, preventing severe electrolyte imbalance. As of June 2024, the infant was five months old, with follow-up showing good growth and development.
