Objective:
To analyze the timeliness of antir-etroviral therapy (ART) and its influencing factors among newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2023, so as to provide a reference for improving the ART effect of HIV/AIDS cases.
Methods:
Newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Wenzhou City from 2016 to 2023 were selected as the research subjects. Demographic information, the situation of the first CD4+ T lymphocyte (CD4 cell) test, baseline CD4 cell count, and ART situation were collected through the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. The timely rate of ART was analyzed, and the influencing factors for timely ART among HIV/AIDS cases were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 4 500 newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Wenzhou City from 2016 to 2023 were included, among which 3 679 were males, accounting for 81.76%, and 821 were females, accounting for 18.24%. The median age was 46.24 (interquartile range, 26.23) years. Among these cases, 3 606 received timely ART, with a timely rate of 80.13%. The timely rate of ART increased from 57.54% in 2016 to 91.97% in 2023 (P<0.05). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that unmarried/divorced/widowed (OR=0.769, 95%CI: 0.641-0.922), detainees (OR=0.492, 95%CI: 0.269-0.900), untimely first CD4 cell test (OR=0.278, 95%CI: 0.234-0.330), baseline CD4 cell count ≥200 cells/µL (OR=0.709, 95%CI: 0.595-0.843) or undetected (OR=0.131, 95%CI: 0.080-0.213) were associated with a lower timeliness for ART among HIV/AIDS cases.
Conclusion
From 2016 to 2023, the timely rate of ART among newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Wenzhou City showed an upward trend, which was mainly affected by marital status, case source, timeliness of the first CD4 cell test, and baseline CD4 cell count.

OBJECTIVES:
To evaluate the application value of genetic newborn screening (gNBS) in the Yunnan region.
METHODS:
A prospective study was conducted with a random selection of 3 001 newborns born in the Yunnan region from February to December 2021. Traditional newborn screening (tNBS) was used to test biochemical indicators, and targeted next-generation sequencing was employed to screen 159 genes related to 156 diseases. Positive-screened newborns underwent validation and confirmation tests, and confirmed cases received standardized treatment and long-term follow-up.
RESULTS:
Among the 3 001 newborns, 166 (5.53%) were initially positive for genetic screening, and 1 435 (47.82%) were genetic carriers. The top ten genes with the highest variation frequency were GJB2 (21.29%), DUOX2 (7.27%), HBA (6.14%), GALC (3.63%), SLC12A3 (3.33%), HBB (3.03%), G6PD (2.94%), SLC25A13 (2.90%), PAH (2.73%), and UNC13D (2.68%). Among the initially positive newborns from tNBS and gNBS, 33 (1.10%) and 47 (1.57%) cases were confirmed, respectively. A total of 48 (1.60%) cases were confirmed using gNBS+tNBS. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis demonstrated that the areas under the curve for tNBS, gNBS, and gNBS+tNBS in diagnosing diseases were 0.866, 0.982, and 0.968, respectively (P<0.05). DeLong's test showed that the area under the curve for gNBS and gNBS+tNBS was higher than that for tNBS (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
gNBS can expand the range of disease detection, and its combined use with tNBS can significantly shorten diagnosis time, enabling early intervention and treatment.

OBJECTIVES:
To study the clinical characteristics of pediatric Behçet syndrome (BS).
METHODS:
A retrospective review was conducted on the medical records of children hospitalized in the Department of Pediatrics at the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University between December 2014 and December 2024 who met diagnostic criteria for BS.
RESULTS:
Among 45 children with BS, 26 (58%) were male. Oral aphthous ulcers were the most common manifestation (43/45, 96%), followed by genital ulcers (23/45, 51%) and gastrointestinal involvement (18/45, 40%). Genital ulcers were more frequent in girls, whereas ocular involvement was more common in boys (P<0.05). The pathergy test was positive in 10 (22%), and HLA-B51 was positive in 13 (29%). Fecal calprotectin (FC) was elevated in 16 (36%); gastrointestinal involvement was more frequent in children with elevated FC than in those with normal FC (P<0.05). According to the respective criteria, 17 (38%) patients met the International Study Group criteria (1990), 33 (73%) met the International Criteria for Behçet Disease (2014), and 13 (29%) met the Pediatric Behçet Disease criteria (2015).
CONCLUSIONS
Pediatric BS shows marked clinical heterogeneity. HLA-B51 is associated with disease susceptibility.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the application of targeted mRNA sequencing in fusion gene diagnosis of hematologic diseases.
METHODS:
Bone marrow or peripheral blood samples of 105 patients with abnormally elevated eosinophil proportions and 291 acute leukemia patients from January 2015 to June 2023 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were analyzed and gene structural variants were detected by targeted mRNA sequencing.
RESULTS:
Among 105 patients with abnormally elevated eosinophil proportions, 6 cases were detected with gene structural variants, among which fusion gene testing results in 5 cases could serve as diagnostic indicators for myeloid neoplasms with eosinophilia. In addition, a IL3∷ETV6 fusion gene was detected in one patient with chronic eosinophilic leukemia, not otherwise specified. Among 119 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), 38 cases were detected structural variants by targeted mRNA sequencing, accounting for 31.9%, which was significantly higher than 20.2% (24/119) detected by multiple quantitative PCR (P < 0.05). We also found one patient with AML had both NUP98∷PRRX2 and KCTD5∷JAK2 fusion genes. A total of 104 patients were detected structural variants by targeted mRNA sequencing in 172 cases with acute B-lymphoblastic leukemia who were tested negative by multiple quantitative PCR, with a detection rate of 60.5% (102/172).
CONCLUSION
Targeted mRNA sequencing can effectively detect fusion gene and has potential clinical application value in diagnosis and classificatation in hematologic diseases.

ObjectiveTo establish the fingerprint of seven commercially available Yangyin Qingfei preparations, to quantitatively analyze the index components, to evaluate their quality uniformity with multivariate statistical analysis, and to explore the quality differences among different dosage forms. MethodA total of 33 batches of commercially available 7 kinds of Yangyin Qingfei preparations were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC), the fingerprints were established and the common peaks were identified. Paeoniflorin, verbascoside, harpagoside, glycyrrhizic acid and paeonol were selected as the indicators of quality attributes to quantitatively analyze 33 batches of preparations. Based on the administration methods of Yangyin Qingfei preparations, the daily intake was calculated and the radar charts were poltted, and cluster analysis and principal component analysis were used to explore the quality differences of 7 kinds of Yangyin Qingfei preparations and the quality uniformity among different batches of the same dosage form. ResultThe similarity of fingerprints of 7 dosage forms was 0.248-0.956, suggesting that there were significant differences among different dosage forms of Yangyin Qingfei preparations, and a total of 15 common peaks were calibrated, of which peak 7, peak 8, peak 11, peak 13 and peak 15 were paeoniflorin, verbascoside, harpagoside, glycyrrhizic acid and paeonol, respectively. The radar plots showed that the average total daily intake of large honeyed pills and water honeyed pills was the highest, and the uniformity of pill components was better. The quality of 33 batches of samples was divided into poor quality and high quality by cluster analysis. Principal component analysis showed that the uniformity and dosage form of different dosage forms were significantly different, the oral liquid had the best quality homogeneity with the minimum dispersion. And the content of paeonol in different dosage forms was significantly different, which was the key component of quality control of Yangyin Qingfei preparations. ConclusionYangyin Qingfei large honeyed pills and water honeyed pills show high content and good uniformity, which are relatively preferred dosage forms. Different preparation processes have a great influence on the content of paeonol, and its quality control should be emphasized during production. This study provides a scientific method for the comparison of product quality of different dosage forms of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, which is helpful for the development of preferred dosage forms of different prescriptions, and provides a reference for efficient use of medication in the clinical practice.

To establish a medical imaging teacher competency model and evaluate its application value in group teaching for undergraduates. Based on literature review, a competency model for teachers in medical colleges and universities was established. This study collected the self-evaluation scores and student evaluation scores of the competency model for teachers from Radiology Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital who participated in the undergraduate medical imaging group teaching from September 2020 to November 2021, and compared the differences of various competencies before and after training, between different professional titles and between different length of teaching. A total of 18 teachers were included in the teaching of undergraduate medical imaging group, with 11 having short teaching experience (≤5 years) and 7 having long teaching experience (> 5 years). Altogether 200 undergraduate students participated in the course (95 in the class of 2016 and 105 in the class of 2017). There were 8 teachers with a junior professional title, 5 with an intermediate professional title, and 5 with a senior professional title. The teacher competency model covered a total of 5 first-level indicators, including medical education knowledge, teaching competency, scientific research competency, organizational competency, and others, which corresponded to 13 second-level indicators. The teachers' self-evaluation scores of two first-level indicators, scientific research competency and organizational competency, as well as three second-level indicators, teaching skills, academic research on teaching and research, and communication abilities, showed significant improvements after the training, compared to those before training(all The competency model of undergraduate medical imaging teachers based on teacher competency can be preliminarily applied for the training of medical imaging teachers, as it reflects the change of competency of the teachers with different professional titles and teaching years in the process of group teaching.

Osteoporotic proximal humeral fracture (OPHF) is one of the common osteoporotic fractures in the aged, with an incidence only lower than vertebral compression fracture, hip fracture, and distal radius fracture. OPHF, secondary to osteoporosis and characterized by poor bone quality, comminuted fracture pattern, slow healing, and severely impaired shoulder joint function, poses a big challenge to the current clinical diagnosis and treatment. In the field of diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of OPHF, traditional Chinese and Western medicine have accumulated rich experience and evidence from evidence-based medicine and achieved favorable outcomes. However, there is still a lack of guidance from a relevant consensus as to how to integrate the advantages of the two medical systems and achieve the integrated diagnosis and treatment. To promote the diagnosis and treatment of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, relevant experts from Orthopedic Expert Committee of Geriatric Branch of Chinese Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics, Youth Osteoporosis Group of Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Osteoporosis Group of Orthopedic Surgeon Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and Osteoporosis Committee of Shanghai Association of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine have been organized to formulate Expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic proximal humeral fracture with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine ( version 2024) by searching related literatures and based on the evidences from evidence-based medicine. This consensus consists of 13 recommendations about the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, aimed at standardizing, systematizing, and personalizing the diagnosis and treatment of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinse and Western medicine to improve the patients ′ function.
