Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of malaria and provide a basis for developing improved prevention and control measures. Methods Data were obtained from the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. Malaria surveillance data for Nanning City from January 1,2023, to December 31,2024, were exported from the Infectious Disease Reporting Information Management Subsystem. The characteristics of the two groups of malaria cases were compared. Results A total of 103 imported malaria cases were reported in Nanning City in 2024, representing a 38.32% decrease compared with the same period of the previous year. No statistically significant difference were observed between cases reported in 2023 and 2024 in terms of average age, gender ratio, proportion of parasite species, and monthly reporting distribution;however, statistically significant differences were found in the proportion of reporting areas and current residence areas(χ2= 13.572 and 10.355, respectively; P = 0.001 and 0.035, respectively). The proportion of cases reported in Shanglin County and the proportion of cases residing in Shanglin County were both lower than those during the same period of the previous year. Conclusions The high aggregation of imported malaria cases in Nanning City has decreased. Medical institutions in areas other than Shanglin County should strengthen their vigilance against malaria.

Objective To gain insights into the biological characteristics of different populations of Culex tritaeniorhynchus within and around the Yellow Sea wetland from the perspective of the occurrence of resistance, we investigated the levels of resistance to deltamethrin and kdr gene mutation in the wetland and its peripheral areas. Methods Specimens were collected from Cx. tritaeniorhynchus populations at two monitoring sites in the Rare Bird National Nature Reserve and Tiaozi Ni Wetland Scenic Area, and also from two populations in Yancheng City and the Liuhe District of Nanjing, and the resistance of these mosquitoes to deltamethrin was determined using the CDC biotest bottle method. For each concentration of deltamethrin assessed, a random subset of exposed specimens was selected for amplification of the kdr gene fragment, followed by Sanger sequencing to identify and analyze resistance-associated mutations. Results The LC50 levels of deltamethrin among mosquitoes from the four populations in Luhe, Yancheng, the Rare Bird National Nature Reserve and the Tiaozi Ni Wetland Scenic Area were 2.048 5, 7.798 2, 3.473 3, and 17.695 5 mg/mL, respectively, with corresponding concentrations of deltamethrin ranging from 0.005 to 5.000,0.050 to 50.000,0.050 to 25.000 and 0.050 to 50.000 mg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, the ranges of the KT50 values were 11.76-107.43, 67.05-216.30,29.77-107.43 and 28.40-329.51 min; the 1-h knockdown rates were 34.58%-99.15%, 9.52%-43.80%, 55.09%-73.01%, and 10.09%-68.07%; and the 24-h mortality rates were 12.15%-67.52%,9.52%-79.56%,13.17%-82.21%, and 11.01%-78.99%, respectively. With respect to kdr gene mutation, we assayed a total of 63,70,59, and 57 mosquitoes for the four populations, for which we detected L1014F mutation frequencies of 14.29%, 35.00%, 20.34%, and 31.58%, respectively, with a majority of these mutations being heterozygous for resistance. In addition, five adult mosquitoes were identified has having synonymous mutations at site 1011[i. e. , AAT(asparagine)mutation to AAC(asparagine)]. Conclusions Our findings revealed the clear resistance of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus to deltamethrin in the Yancheng region of the Yellow Sea wetland, and the resistance phenotype and kdr frequency of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus in the wetland environment were comparable to those of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus in the wetland environment, thereby indicating that the resistance of different populations of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus was homogeneous under the pressure of different insecticide selection within and around the wetland. However, the underlying mechanisms need to be further studied.

Objective To develop a method capable of real-time,rapid,and visual detection of MEs,providing a powerful tool for early diagnosis and assessment of diseases.Methods In this study,flake graphene oxide(2D GO)with excellent peroxidase-like activity(POD-like)was prepared by a modified Hummers'method,and a sensing strategy for the rapid visual detection of MEs was constructed by integrating colorimetry with a smartphone.Results 2D GO can catalyse the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)to produce highly oxidative hydroxyl radicals(·OH),which oxidize the colourless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine(TMB)into blue ox-TMB.The strong reducing effect of MEs on the"2D GO+TMB+H2O2"colorimetric sensing system enables rapid visual detection of MEs.Conclusion The colorimetric platform constructed based on 2D GO has a wide linear detection range(10-1 000 μmol/L)and a good detection limit(LOD<7 μM),and was successfully used for the determination of MEs in foetal bovine serum samples,with satisfactory recovery rates.

Objective: To analyze the unregistered treatment situation and its influencing factors among pulmonary tuberculosis patients in Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province from 2017 to 2023, so as to provide a basis for promoting the management of tuberculosis patients and optimizing disease prevention and control strategies. Methods: Data of pulmonary tuberculosis patients including demographic information, etiological results, and mortality status were collected through the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System Infectious Disease Reporting and Surveillance System and the Tuberculosis Management Information System. Pulmonary tuberculosis patients not matched in the Tuberculosis Management Information System were defined as unregistered treatment patients, and the unregistered treatment rate was analyzed. Factors affecting unregistered treatment among pulmonary tuberculosis patients were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 10 779 pulmonary tuberculosis patients were reported in Quzhou City from 2017 to 2023, including 7 700 males (71.44%) and 3 079 females (28.56%). There were 5 484 cases aged <65 years, accounting for 50.88%. Among them, 630 cases were unregistered treatment, with an unregistered treatment rate of 5.84% (95%CI: 5.42%-6.38%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed pulmonary tuberculosis patients aged ≥65 years (OR=1.829, 95%CI: 1.512-2.212) had a higher risk of being unregistered treatment than those aged <65 years; patients with non-local household registration (OR=5.710, 95%CI: 4.724-6.901) had a higher risk than local patients; and patients engaged in housework/unemployed (OR=2.001, 95%CI: 1.421-2.818) or other occupations (OR=2.396, 95%CI: 1.789-3.137) had a higher risk than farmers. The mortality of unregistered treatment pulmonary tuberculosis patients was higher than the registered treatment patients (26.67% vs. 5.02%),with a significantly elevated mortality risk (OR=7.147, 95%CI: 5.738-8.902). Conclusions The unregistered treatment rate among pulmonary tuberculosis patients was well controlled in Quzhou City from 2017 to 2023, but the elderly, patients with non-local household registration, and those engaged in housework/unemployed had a higher risk of unregistered treatment. It is recommended to improve medical and social security policies, strengthen health education on tuberculosis prevention, enhance treatment adherence, and reduce mortality risk.

The dramatically rising incidence of chronic diseases decreases quality of life, increases complications and all-cause mortality, and raises medical costs. Scientifically sound nutritional therapy is currently the most affordable and safest basic treatment for patients with chronic diseases, as it can help improve nutritional status, clinical outcomes, quality of life, and survival rates for patients with chronic diseases. The Nutrition Oncology Branch of Chinese Nutrition Society has developed the Expert consensus on nutritional therapy for patients with common chronic diseases (2025) based on the latest research evidence, clinical practice, and clinical nutrition guidelines to inform the nutritional diagnosis and treatment of chronic disease.

Cross-border teaching provides new opportunities for college students to gain diverse insights amid the globalization and internationalized education, In July 2024, guided by the Chinese Association for Science and Technology, the Chinese Nutrition Society and the Hong Kong Nutrition Association collaborated to host a three-week clinical nutrition internship at Peking Union Medical College Hospital for five college students from Hong Kong SAR, China. This program included participating in outpatient rounds, attending in inpatient nutrition management, and attending lectures, aiming to enhance students' professional skills and clinical experience. Cultural exchange and value-based education also enriched students' social responsibility and cultural understanding. The Hong Kong students also brought diverse cultural backgrounds and inputs, enabling multidimensional communication during the training. Post-internship feedback survey showed that the students found the inernship valuable for their career development and hoped for more learning opportunities. This cross-border high-quality internship program fostered skill enhancement, cultural exchange between young students in Beijing and Hong Kong and contributed to advancement of clinical nutrition.

Objective:To evaluate the impact of a high-energy-density, high-protein, immune-modulating, cancer-specific foods for special medical purposes (FSMP) on nutritional adequacy, safety, and efficacy in postoperative cancer patients.Methods:This multicenter randomized controlled trial enrolled patients with gastrointestinal or head and neck cancer scheduled for surgery and at nutritional risk. Participants were randomized 1∶1 to receive either the investigational cancer-specific FSMP (FSMP group) or a commercially available tumor-specific enteral nutrition (EN) formula (control group). The "nutritional transition phase" (postoperative days 0-3) provided the assigned EN, with energy deficits supplemented by parenteral nutrition (PN). This was followed by the "full EN phase" (intervention period: 10±3 days), with a target energy intake of 105-146 kJ/kg/day. Nutritional adequacy was considered achieved if the actual intake reached ≥80% of the target in both phases. The primary outcomes were the body weight and prealbumin improvement rates after intervention , and the secondary outcomes were the improvement rates of handgrip strength, gait speed, serum albumin, and hemoglobin. Non-inferiority was tested using the confidence intervals, with the least squares mean difference and its 95% CI derived from a Logistic regression model (non-inferiority margin: -0.12).Results:A total of 220 patients from 17 centers completed the study (FSMP group: n=109; control group: n=111). After the nutrition support, the weight loss was (-0.9±2.1) kg and (-1.3±1.8) kg in the FSMP and control groups ( P=0.162), whereas prealbumin increased in both groups (59.0±69.0 mg/L vs. 50.0±62.0 mg/L, P=0.418). The lower bounds of the 95% CIs were -0.08 for both weight and prealbumin improvement rates, exceeding the predefined non-inferiority margin (-0.12). No significant differences were observed in the improvements in albumin, hemoglobin, handgrip strength, or gait speed (all P>0.05). No serious adverse events related to the formulas occurred. The FSMP group had a higher incidence of diarrhea (31.9% vs. 17.8%) and lower compliance rate (<80% intake: 13.4% vs. 5.9%), but the percentages of total energy intake over the estimated energy requirements (% of target) were comparable (89.9%±24.5% vs. 94.0%±22.3%, P=0.310). Conclusions:The cancer-specific FSMP can improve postoperative nutritional status in cancer patients, demonstrating non-inferiority to existing tumor-specific EN formulas in terms of nutritional adequacy, safety, and efficacy.

?Colorectal cancer treatment has entered the immunotherapy era. While immunotherapy has markedly improved outcomes for microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) patients, the majority of microsatellite stable (MSS) cases remain unresponsive to immune monotherapy, leading to distinct "cold" and "hot" tumor response states. Transforming "cold tumors" into "hot tumors" is a pivotal research focus. Drug repurposing combined with immunotherapy emerges as a novel strategy that enhances efficacy and reduces adverse effects by repurposing existing drugs, while addressing comorbidities. This approach offers cost-effective and rapid clinical translation. This review systematically explores the potential and challenges of this synergistic approach. In the future, efforts can be focused on initiating prospective studies among the neoadjuvant treatment population, improving drug delivery approaches with the help of materials science, and identifying immune-favorable subgroups. Additionally, considering the characteristics of comorbidity between chronic diseases and colorectal cancer against the backdrop of China's aging society, large-scale multicenter retrospective analyses should be conducted to screen drugs, clarify the interactions between chronic disease medications and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). This aims to provide more precise combined treatment guidance for colorectal cancer patients, especially those with comorbid chronic diseases, and help achieve the goals of organ preservation and quality of life improvement for more patients.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical process of fragment reattachment in crown-root fractures (CRF) of teeth that the fracture occurred between sub-gingival and supra-alveolar ridge (sub-gingival & supra-alveolar ridge) in the esthetic zone, and to analyze the feasibility of this minimally invasive technique for sub-gingival & supra-alveolar ridge CRF involving anterior teeth.Methods:Fourteen sub-gingival & supra-alveolar ridge CRF involving anterior teeth in 12 patients received fragment reattachment in the Department of Prosthodontics, School of Stomatology, the Fourth Military Medical University from January 2016 to August 2024. The success rate of the fractured teeth 3 years after reattachment and the complications during the follow-up period were retrospectively analyzed. The 3-year success rate and complications during follow-up were evaluated to assess the clinical efficacy of this technique.Results:The 14 treated teeth were followed for an average of (36.0±33.7) months (range: 4-99 months). Complications occurred in 2 teeth: one was extracted due to debonding and replaced with a removable partial denture, while the other developed a palatal sinus post-reattachment, which healed after local saline irrigation and medication (followed for 12 months without recurrence). The remaining 12 teeth exhibited no complications, resulting in a success rate of 13/14.Conclusions:Fragment reattachment is a minimally invasive, rapid, and cost-effective treatment option for sub-gingival & supra-alveolar ridge CRF in the anterior esthetic zone. With strict case selection, it delivers favorable outcomes and extends the clinical lifespan of affected teeth.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of clinically isolated Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis in hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021,and provide evidence for rational use of antimicrobial agents.Methods Data of H.influenzae and M.catarrhalis strains isolated from 2015 to 2021 in CHINET program were collected for analysis,and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by disc diffusion method or automated systems according to the uniform protocol of CHINET.The results were interpreted according to the CLSI breakpoints in 2022.Beta-lactamases was detected by using nitrocefin disk.Results From 2015 to 2021,a total of 43 642 strains of Haemophilus species were isolated,accounting for 2.91％of the total clinical isolates and 4.07％of Gram-negative bacteria in CHINET program.Among the 40 437 strains of H.influenzae,66.89％were isolated from children and 33.11％were isolated from adults.More than 90％of the H.influenzae strains were isolated from respiratory tract specimens.The prevalence of β-lactamase was 53.79％in H.influenzae strains.The H.influenzae strains isolated from children showed higher resistance rate than the strains isolated from adults.Overall,779 strains of H.influenzae did not produce β-lactamase but were resistant to ampicillin(BLNAR).Beta-lactamase-producing strains showed significantly higher resistance rates to these antimicrobial agents than the β-lactamase-nonproducing strains.Of the 16 191 M.catarrhalis strains,80.06％were isolated from children and 19.94％isolated from adults.M.catarrhalis strains were mostly susceptible to both amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and cefuroxime,evidenced by resistance rate lower than 2.0％.Conclusions The emergence of antibiotic-resistant H.influenzae due to β-lactamase production poses a challenge for clinical anti-infective treatment.Therefore,it is very important to implement antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae and guide rational antibiotic use.All local clinical microbiology laboratories should actively improve antibiotic susceptibility testing and strengthen antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae.
