OBJECTIVE To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of respiratory human adenovirus(H AdV)infections in hospitalized children in Ningbo,and to provide data for formulating infection prevention and control strategies for HAdV.METHODS A total of 65 022 children hospitalized with respiratory infections at the Women and Children's Hospital of Ningbo University from Jul.2019 to Dec.2024 were selected as the study sub-jects.Multiple reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)and capillary electrophoresis were used to detect 11 non-bacterial pathogens.Basic and clinical information of the children was collected for analysis.RESULTS A total of 65 022 specimens were tested,with 4 292 cases tested positive for HAdV positivity,yielding a positive rate of 6.60％.The lowest positive rate was observed in 2023(3.22％),while the highest was in 2024(13.97％).Compared to the years 2019-2023,the overall HAdV positive rate was high in 2024,peaking at 26.80％in Jun.,indicating an outbreak.The total HAdV positive rate was higher in boys(6.82％)than in girls(6.32％)(P=0.006).The highest HAdV positive rate was observed in the 2 to＜6 age group(9.00％),while the lowest was in the 0 to＜1 age group(2.33％).Among the HAdV-positive specimens,2 658 cases(61.93％)were single infections,and 1 634 cases(38.07％)were co-infections.The non-bacterial respiratory pathogens with the highest co-infection rates were human rhinovirus(34.09％),Mycoplasma pneumoniae(20.44％)and human parainfluenza virus(5.75％).CONCLUSIONS A n outbreak of HAdV infections is observed among hospitalized children in Ningbo in 2024.Higher positive rates are found in boys aged 2 to＜6 years,with a certain proportion of co-infections.

Alzheimer's disease(AD)is the most common neurodegenerative disease in the elderly,and its main pathological manifestations include senile plaques formed by β-amyloid deposition and neuronal fibrillar nodules formed by hyperphosphorylation of tau proteins.Lysosome is an important organelle in eukaryotic cells,containing a variety of hydrolytic enzymes that can break down proteins and other biomolecules.It is closely related to intracellular transport and autophagy,and is important for maintaining cellular homeostasis.This review summarizes the interaction between lysosomal dysfunction and the development and progression of AD and the potential therapeutic mechanisms in treating AD by regulating and restoring the functions of lysosomes.Lysosomal dysfunction can lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as AD.Modulation of lysosomal function is a promising treatment strategy for AD.It is expected that more drugs and therapeutic regimens based on this mechanism can be used in the clinical treatment for AD patients in the future.

Objective:To investigate the effects of psychological state on the setup errors of radiotherapy for breast cancer patients.Methods:A prospective cohort study was conducted. A total of 193 breast cancer patients in Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College from October 2022 to May 2023 were selected. Radiotherapy was performed after fixation with an integrated multi-functional device for the head, chest and abdomen. Psychological status of patients was assessed by using 9-item health questionnaire (PHQ-9) and generalized anxiety disorder 7 self-rating scale (GAD-7) before first radiotherapy, the 10th radiotherapy and the last radiotherapy. Based on the results of the questionnaires, patients were divided into psychological problem (anxiety or depression) group and non-psychological problem group. The general data and setup errors of radiotherapy in both groups were compared.Results:All the 193 patients were female, with a median age of 47 years. There were 53 patients in psychological problem group and they underwent a total of 507 image-guided procedures, with setup errors [ M ( Q1, Q3)] of 0.18 (0.07, 0.33), 0.20 (0.10, 0.33) and 0.19 (0.09, 0.30) in the left-right (X), superior-inferior (Y), and anterior-posterior (Z) directions, respectively; the remaining 140 patients in non-psychological problem group underwent 1 240 image-guided procedures, with setup errors [ M ( Q1, Q3)]of 0.17 (0.08, 0.30), 0.20 (0.10, 0.30) and 0.18 (0.09, 0.28) in the X, Y, and Z directions, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( Z values were -3.78, -2.00; P < 0.001, P = 0.046). Conclusions:Anxiety and depression have an influence on the setup errors of radiotherapy in patients with breast cancer. In the processs of radiotherapy for breast cancer, it is important to pay attention to the psychological status of patients.

Objective To analyze the impact of the interval time(IT)between prostate biopsy(PB)and radical prostatectomy(RP)on the perioperative safety and prognostic efficacy of prostate cancer patients.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 87 patients who underwent extraperitoneal laparoscopic RP at our hospitals during Jun.2022 to Nov.2024.The patients were divided into the IT ≤2 weeks group(n=42)and the IT ≥4 weeks group(n=45)according to the interval between PB and RP.Baseline data,perioperative indicators,postoperative inflammatory factors,postoperative pathological results,urinary continence,and complication rates were compared between the two groups.Results No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in baseline information,operation time,intraoperative blood loss,intraoperative transfusion rate,postoperative hospital stay,catheter removal time,inflammatory factors and complications(P＞0.05).Pathological results showed no significant differences in cancer tissue proportion,positive rate of lymph node,positive rate of surgical margins,and postoperative Gleason scores(P＞0.05).However,the IT ≤2 weeks group exhibited significantly fewer cases of perineural invasion(25 vs.36,59.52％vs.80.00％)and vascular invasion(5 vs.12,11.90％vs.26.67％)compared to the IT≥4 weeks group(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in postoperative urinary control rate and prostate-specific antigen(PSA)level between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Radical prostatectomy performed ≤2 weeks after prostate biopsy demonstrates better safety and prognosis.

Objective To investigate the application value of conventional MRI combined with diffusion tensor imaging(DTI)in evaluating the correlation between the texture composition of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)and the International Prostate Symptom Score(IPSS).Methods Seventy patients with BPH confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed and all patients underwent conventional MRI,DTI and IPSS before surgery.Evaluation metrics included:the mean signal intensity of T2WI(mean-SI-T2WI),apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)and fractional anisotropy(FA)values.Independent samples t-test,partial correlation analysis,and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve were used to assess the correlation between the texture parameters of the prostate transition zone and IPSS.Results The mean-SI-T2WI was significantly negatively correlated with IPSS(r=-0.683,P<0.001);the average ADC value was slightly negatively correlated with IPSS(r=-0.467,P<0.001);and the average FA value was slightly positively correlated with IPSS(r=0.419,P<0.001).The predictive value of MRI texture parameters for IPSS in BPH patients,ranked from high to low,mean-SI-T2WI[area under the curve(AUC)=0.734],average ADC value(AUC=0.673),and average FA value(AUC=0.635);However,the combination of mean-SI-T2WI+ADC+FA(AUC=0.791)did not significantly improve the diagnostic efficacy by DeLong's test(P>0.05).Conclusion Mean-SI-T2WI,DWI and DTI can be used to evaluate the composition of the prostate,among which mean-SI-T2WI is the best,and the com-bination of them can not improve the diagnostic efficacy.

Objective:To investigate the effects of target-oriented liquid therapy on the treatment outcomes of skin grafting in patients with severe burns.Methods:A total of 60 patients with severe burns (total burn area over 20%, and deep second-degree burn area ≥ 10%) who were scheduled for skin graft surgery at the Marine Police Corps Hospital of Chinese People's Armed Police Force from January 2019 to January 2022 were included in this cohort study. The patients were randomly divided into a control group (conventional fluid therapy) and an observation group (target-oriented fluid therapy) using a random number table method, with 30 patients in each group.The levels of lactate (Lac) and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (cTnI) were compared between the two groups. The usage of colloid and crystalloid fluids, urine output, length of hospital stay, and the incidence of complications were compared between the two groups.Results:At the end of the surgery, the levels of Lac and cTnI in the observation group were (1.13 ± 0.22) mmol/L and (0.95 ± 0.25) μg/L, respectively, both of which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(1.52 ± 0.34) mmol/L, (1.10 ± 0.31) μg/L; t = 5.24, 0.83, P < 0.001, P = 0.044]. The differences in Lac and cTnI levels in the observation group were (0.53 ± 0.36) and (0.13 ± 0.07), respectively, which were significantly greater than those in the control group [(0.23 ± 0.16), (0.02 ± 0.01), t = -4.17 and -3.45, P < 0.001, P = 0.001]. The volumes of colloid and crystalloid fluids and the length of hospital stay in the observation group were (960.25 ± 153.32) mL, (1 680.52 ± 253.08) mL, and (51.36 ± 17.25) days, respectively. These values were significantly lower or shorter than those in the control group [(1 459.73 ± 203.41) mL, (2 401.89 ± 301.23) mL, (81.05 ± 25.08) days, t = 10.74, 10.04, 5.34,all P < 0.001]. The incidences of postoperative infection, pneumonia, and arrhythmia in the observation group were 33.33% (10/30), 16.67% (5/30), and 16.67% (5/30), respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [63.33% (19/30), 46.67% (14/30), 30.00% (15/30); χ2 = 5.41, 6.24, 7.50, P = 0.020, P = 0.013, P = 0.006]. However, there was no statistically significant difference in acute lung injury, heart failure, and myocardial injury between the two groups ( χ2 = 1.36, 1.92, 0.29; P = 0.243, 0.166, 0.592). Conclusions:Compared with traditional fluid replacement therapy, target-oriented fluid therapy has a more significant therapeutic effect on patients with severe burns. It not only reduces fluid usage and the length of hospital stay but also decreases the incidence of infection, pneumonia, and arrhythmia in these patients.
