Objective To explore scientific and accurate prediction methods for the incidence of hand, foot, and mouth disease in the post-pandemic era, and to address modeling challenges caused by abnormal fluctuations in case numbers from 2020 to 2023. Methods The seasonal index was used to pre-process the data. The traditional seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) model, singular spectrum analysis (SSA)-ARIMA model, ARIMA-Long short-term memory (LSTM) model, and SSA-ARIMA-LSTM model were used to fit the incidence from 2013 to 2023, and the incidence of hand, foot and mouth disease in 2024 was predicted. The real data collected in 2024 were used as the test set to compare the prediction performance of the models. Results The fitting performance of the constructed models was as follows: the ARIMA model had MAE=107.50 and RMSE=144.53, the SSA-ARIMA model showed MAE=2.84 and RMSE=4.33, the ARIMA-LSTM model achieved MAE=99.46 and RMSE=131.59, and the SSA-ARIMA-LSTM model had MAE=96.35 and RMSE=132.13. In terms of prediction performance, the ARIMA model resulted in MAE=151.64 and RMSE=146.70, the SSA-ARIMA model demonstrated MAE=41.22 and RMSE=57.01, the ARIMA-LSTM model yielded MAE=220.75 and RMSE=257.89, and the SSA-ARIMA-LSTM model recorded MAE=58.83 and RMSE=72.06. Conclusion The SSA-ARIMA model has the best fitting degree and the highest prediction accuracy, and is suitable for predicting the incidence trend of hand, foot and mouth disease.

Objective Jejunal interposition is an important option for restoring gastrointestinal continuity in patients with complex esophageal cancer in whom the stomach is unavailable for reconstruction due to previous gastrectomy, tumor involvement, failed gastric conduit, or other constraints. Although the jejunum offers a caliber similar to the esophagus, a rich blood supply, and preserved peristaltic function, anatomical variations in mesenteric length and vascular arcades render long-segment and high-level reconstruction susceptible to excessive tension, mesenteric torsion, venous congestion, and inadequate distal perfusion. This consensus aims to provide standardized recommendations for the application of jejunal interposition in this specific patient population. Methods This consensus was developed in accordance with the WHO Handbook for Guideline Development and Chinese national guideline development standards, with reference to the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation Ⅱ(AGREE Ⅱ), Reporting Items for Practice Guidelines in Healthcare (RIGHT), and Scientific, Transparent and Applicable Rankings (STAR) checklists. The project was registered on the international practice guidelines registry platform (PREPARE-2026CN1384). The working group systematically searched Chinese and English evidence addressing 12 clinical questions. Evidence was graded using the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (OCEBM) 2009 system, with structured appraisal of risk of bias, inconsistency, indirectness, and imprecision. Recommendations were formulated through two rounds of Delphi surveys and a face-to-face consensus meeting, with an agreement threshold of ≥75%. Results The consensus generated 12 recommendations covering indications, selection between jejunum and colon, preoperative assessment, surgical approach and reconstruction route, pedicled jejunal interposition (PJI), supercharged pedicled jejunal interposition (SPJ), indocyanine green (ICG) perfusion assessment, perioperative nutrition, management of anastomotic leakage, long-term follow-up, and special treatment scenarios. Given that the available direct evidence is predominantly derived from single-center retrospective cohorts and case series, recommendations extrapolated from general esophagectomy or other gastrointestinal surgical evidence are deliberately phrased with caution. Conclusion Jejunal interposition is a safe and effective approach for digestive tract reconstruction in patients with complex esophageal cancer in whom the stomach is unavailable. This consensus emphasizes that clinical decision-making should be individualized based on the patient's prior treatment history, reconstruction height, vascular anatomy, technical availability, and institutional experience in the Chinese context.

Percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI),as one of the primary approaches for revascularization,still faces complications such as restenosis,myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and no-reflow/slow-flow phenomena,with no currently effective interventions ensuring long-term efficacy.Based on Li Dongyuan's theory that"fire and original qi cannot coexist",this article inherited Academician Chen Keji's academic perspective on"toxin-stasis pathogenesis"and the hemodynamic characteristics of coronary arteries to propose a"four-stage pathological progression"in post-PCI patients,namely spleen-stomach impairment-original qi deficiency-endogenous yin-fire-toxin-stasis accumulation.It emphasized that the heart vessels rely on qi and blood for nourishment and patency for function,elucidated the therapeutic rationale of Danggui Buxue Decoction,and presented the self-formulated Yixin Hemai Prescription,modified through syndrome differentiation,and performed simultaneous reinforcement and dredging,in order to provide diagnosis and treatment ideas for coronary heart disease after PCI treated with TCM.

Objective:To systematically review the current registered clinical study schemes in China regarding the combination of TCM and targeted drug therapy for lung cancer; To analyze their strengths and weaknesses; To provide reference for future study.Methods:Chinese Clinical Trial Registry for clinical study schemes combining TCM with targeted drug therapy for lung cancer treatment was retrieved from the inception to July 10, 2024. The general characteristics, study types, intervention measures, and outcome indicators of existing schemes were systematically summarized and analyzed.Results:A total of 15 studies were included, with the earliest study registered in 2013. Registration locations were concentrated in Shanghai, Guangdong, Tianjin, and Zhejiang. Among them, 9 studies received funding from local, national finance, or hospitals; 13 studies passed ethical review, and 12 included informed consent. The design schemes included 10 randomized controlled studies, 1 cohort study, 1 interventional single-arm study, and 3 observational studies. 6 studies had a sample size smaller than 100 cases, and most were single-center trials. Intervention measures primarily involved the combination of Chinese patent medicine or TCM with targeted drugs, with evaluation indicators mainly focusing on clinical symptoms and laboratory indicators. The setting of outcome indicators lacked a unified standard.Conclusions:Since 2013, clinical studies combining TCM with targeted drug therapy for lung cancer have been relatively methodologically sound but face challenges such as small sample sizes and a certain degree of regional concentration, leading to relatively insufficient representativeness. The future direction for improvement lies in multi-center, large-sample, and well-designed clinical trials. It is also necessary to establish a standardized and normalized system for evaluating outcomes. Integrating basic research to clarify the mechanisms of TCM can provide a theoretical basis for the combination of TCM and targeted drugs, which is conducive to enhancing the rigor and scientific nature of clinical trial design and promoting the formation of high-level evidence-based medicine.

Objective To explore the correlation between the expression of microRNA-452(miR-452)and micro-RNA-221(miR-221)in peripheral blood and post-operative urinary sepsis after percutaneous nephrolithotripsy(PCNL).Methods From January 2019 to June 2023,92 patients with post-operative urinary sepsis after PCNL admitted to 909 Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Joint Logistic Support Force were regarded as the disease group,92 patients who underwent PCNL surgery during the same period without urinary sepsis were collect-ed as control group.RT-qPCR was applied to detect the expression of miR-452 and miR-221 in peripheral blood;Logistic regression was applied to analyze the influencing factors of urinary sepsis after PCNL surgery;Receiver op-erating characteristic(ROC)curve was applied to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of peripheral blood miR-452 and miR-221 levels for post-operative urinary sepsis in PCNL patients.Results The time length of the surgical opera-tion in disease group was longer than that in the control group,and the level of miR-452 and miR-221 in peripheral blood,were higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Peripheral blood miR-452,miR-221,procalcitonin(PCT),C-reactive protein(CRP),neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio(NLR),urine routine and surgical time were all influence factors for post-operative urinary sepsis in PCNL(P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)for the combined diagnosis of peripheral blood miR-452 and miR-221 in patients with urinary sepsis after PCNL surgery was 0.888,which was better than their individual detection(Zcombination-miR-452=2.005,Zcombination-miR-221=2.972,P=0.045,0.003),the sensitivity and specificity were 77.17%and 91.30%,respectively.Conclusions The change of miR-452 and miR-221 level in peripheral blood is closely related to urinary sepsis after PCNL.Combined testing has a high diagnostic efficacy for post-operative urinary sepsis after PCNL surgery.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of scoliosis and congenital heart disease(CHD)and their correlation among children and adolescents of Drung nationality in Yunnan Province.Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted in November 2022 among all Drung school-aged children and adolescents aged 5-18 years in Gongshan Drung and Nu Autonomous County,Yunnan Province.Visual inspection,Adams for-ward flexion test,and trunk rotation angle(ATR)measurement were comprehensively used for school prelim-inary screening of scoliosis.Individuals who tested positive in the school preliminary screening underwent fur-ther X-ray examination for auxiliary diagnosis.Cardiac auscultation and echocardiography were used for school preliminary screening of CHD.The personal information of the screening subjects,the screening results,etc.were recorded.The prevalence of scoliosis and CHD among children and adolescents of the Drung nationality and the relationship between the two diseases were statistically analyzed,and the positive predictive value of school-based scoliosis screening and its influencing factors were also analyzed.Results A total of 1 036 chil-dren and adolescents of Drung nationality were enrolled,with a mean age of(10.72±3.75)years,icluding 542 males and 494 females.A total of 45 subjects tested positive for scoliosis in the school preliminary screening,with a preliminary positive rate of 4.34%.A total of 22 cases were finally diagnosed with scoliosis,with a prevalence rate of 2.12%.Among them,21 cases were idiopathic scoliosis(accounting for 95.45%),and 1 case was congenital scoliosis(accounting for 4.55%).The prevalence rate was higher in females(2.83%)than that in males(1.48%),higher in the 10 to 18-year-old group(2.30%)than that in the 5 to<10-year-old group(1.87%),and higher in the secondary school group(2.78%)than that in the primary school group(1.78%),hut there were no statistically significant differences(P>0.05).Most idiopathic scoliosis cases were mild(Cobb angle 10° to<20°,90.48%)and classified as Lenke type Ⅴ(57.14%).Two cases of CHD were confirmed,both of which were atrial septal defects,with a prevalence rate of 0.19%.The co-occurrence rate of idiopathic scoliosis and CHD was 4.76%(1/21).The positive predictive value of school-based scoliosis pre-liminary screening was only 48.89%.When the BMI was<18.5 kg/m2,the positive predictive value was sig-nificantly higher than that for BMI≥18.5 kg/m2(P<0.05).Conclusion The prevalence rate of scoliosis a-mong adolescents of the Drung ethnic group in Yunnan Province is 2.12%,predominantly idiopathic scoliosis,with Lenke type V being the most common classification.The prevalence rate of congenital heart disease is 0.19%.BMI is a significant influencing factor for the positive predictive value of school-based scoliosis prelimi-nary screening.

Objective:To observe and analyze the correlation between the changes of macular microvascular structure and the level of intracocular fluid cytokines in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME).Methods:A prospective clinical study. From December 2022 to June 2024, 20 patients with 25 eyes of DME diagnosed by Department of Ophthalmology of Linyi People's Hospital were included in the study. Among them, 14 males had 17 eyes and 6 females had 8 eyes. Age was (55.08±10.34) years. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) were used to scan the macular region at a range of 6 mm×6 mm. Central retinal thickness (CRT), blood flow density of superficial retinal capillary plexus (SCP) and area of fovea avascular zone (FAZ) were measured. The anterior aqueous humor was extracted before the first intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), the concentrations of interleukin (IL-6), IL-8, VEGF, vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM), placental growth factor (PLGF) and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) were detected. The correlation between macular microvascular structure and aqueous humor cytokines was analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis.Results:The CRT of the affected eyes was (617.40±167.64) μm, the SCP flow density was (39.56±1.55)%, and the FAZ area was (0.46±0.13) mm 2. The concentrations of IL-6, IL-8, VEGF, VCAM, PLGF and MCP-1 in aqueous humor were (301.36±690.52), (29.15±20.56), (71.37±29.32) and (5 621.22±7 241.06), (72.40±13.43), (464.07±163.26) pg/ml, respectively. Correlation analysis showed that there was a significant positive correlation between CRT and the concentrations of aqueous cytokines VEGF and PLGF ( r=0.460, 0.462, P<0.05). FAZ area was positively correlated with VEGF and MCP-1 concentrations ( r=0.414, 0.465; P<0.05). There was a significant negative correlation between SCP blood flow density and IL-6 ( r=0.401, P<0.05). Conclusion:There was a significant correlation between the morphological structure of macular area and the damage degree of microvessels around macular area in DME patients and the concentration of aqueous cytokines.

Objective To prepare a variety of quality control(QC)materials for SARS-CoV-2 variants as an addition to the conven-tional SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid QC products for the laboratory detection of mutant strains by optimizing the preparation and purification process of MS2 phage virus-like particle(VLP)technique,and evaluate their performances.Methods The typical mutation sequence fragments or full length S genes were designed and synthesized according to the genomic information of SARS-CoV-2 variants.Then,they were inserted into the downstream of maturase gene,coat protein and the pac-site of MS2 phage to construct a series of recombi-nant expression vectors.After induced by the prokaryotic expression system,the VLP products were purified through the polyethylenei-mine precipitation,ultrafiltration,nuclease digestion,and gel filtration chromatography.The obtained VLP were validated by the nucle-ic acid electrophoresis,protein electrophoresis,protein concentration determination,and fluorescence PCR,and their performances such as nucleic acid residue and stability were also evaluated.Results A total of 10 kinds of VLP containing the targeted sequences of the gene to be tested were prepared.The length of the foreign sequence wrapped in them ranged from 297 bp to 3 822 bp,which could be combined into a variety of QC materials for the mutation detection of different SARS-CoV-2 variants.The prepared VLP QC materials could not be effectively amplified without nucleic acid extraction or reverse transcription steps during the routine nucleic acid detection.The simulated QC samples remained stable after repeated freeze-thaw cycles.They could be stored stably for 2 months at 25 ℃ and 4 weeks at 37 ℃.Conclusion The established preparation and combined purification process of VLP QC materials can encapsulate vari-ous exogenous nucleic acid sequences with different lengths into the viral coat protein to form VLP,with high production efficiency.The VLP QC products prepared by the above process have stable performance and almost no residual exogenous nucleic acid,which can ef-fectively meet clinical requirements and ensure the quality of laboratory testing.

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury （MIRI） is a major complication following coronary revascularization. Studies indicate that its pathophysiological mechanisms of MIRI are closely associated with oxidative stress， iron overload， inflammatory responses， and lipid peroxidation. Oxidative stress refers to an imbalance in redox homeostasis under pathological conditions， characterized by the abnormal accumulation of reactive oxygen species （ROS）， which disrupts the dynamic balance between pro-oxidant systems and antioxidant defense networks. In recent years， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has demonstrated unique advantages in the prevention and treatment of MIRI due to its multi-target and multi-pathway antioxidant properties. Research reveals that TCM primarily exerts protective effects against oxidative stress-induced MIRI by regulating signaling pathways such as nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 （Nrf2）， adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase （AMPK）， phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B （PI3K/Akt）， nuclear factor kappa-B （NF-κB）， Janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （JAK2/STAT3）， and protein kinase C beta Ⅱ/nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 2/reactive oxygen species （PKCβⅡ/NOX2/ROS）. This article reviews recent literature on TCM monomers， compound formulas， and their active components， which alleviate oxidative stress to prevent and treat MIRI by modulating the aforementioned signaling pathways. It summarizes a concise overview of the molecular mechanisms by which oxidative stress-related signaling pathways lead to MIRI， discusses how TCM regulates these pathways to reduce oxidative stress-induced MIRI， and explores clinical application prospects and research challenges， aiming to provide a theoretical reference for the research and clinical management of MIRI.
