Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections in hospitalized children under five years of age with acute respiratory infections in Qingdao, China, from 2023 to 2025.Methods:This cross-sectional study enrolled children under five years hospitalized with acute respiratory infections between May 1, 2023, and June 30, 2025. Nucleic acid testing was performed for six respiratory pathogens. Participants were stratified into seven age groups: 0 to 28 days, 29 days to <6 months, 6 to <12 months, 1 to <2 years, 2 to <3 years, 3 to <4 years, and 4 to <5 years. Intergroup differences were analyzed using Chi-square tests, with Bonferroni correction (adjusted α=0.016 7) for peak rate comparisons across three epidemic seasons. Results:Among 16 613 children, RSV was detected in 3 280 cases (19.74%), representing the highest pathogen detection rate. Infants under one year accounted for 56.37% (1 849/3 280) of RSV-positive cases, with significantly higher positivity rates in the 0-28 days [25.22% (286/1 134)], 29 days to <6 months [26.66% (1 072/4 021)], and 6 to <12 months [24.92% (491/1 970)] groups compared to other age groups ( χ2=314.20, P<0.001). Co-infections occurred in 13.66% (448/3 280) of RSV-positive cases, primarily with rhinovirus (6.13%, 201/ 3 280), followed by adenovirus and Mycoplasma pneumoniae (3.35% each, 110/3 280). Epidemiological surveillance revealed an off-season outbreak from May to July 2023 (duration ≥14 weeks, peak positivity rate 71.15%), while both 2024 (20 weeks, peak 52.55%) and 2025 (24 weeks, peak 46.49%) exhibited typical winter-spring seasonal patterns. The 2023 peak rate significantly exceeded those of subsequent years (all pairwise P<0.016 7). Conclusion:RSV is the predominant pathogen among hospitalized children under five years with acute respiratory infections in Qingdao, with infants under one year representing the highest-risk population. The epidemiological pattern demonstrates a transition from post-pandemic off-season outbreaks to prolonged winter-spring epidemics, highlighting the need for continued surveillance and targeted prevention strategies.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical features and genetic mutations in a neonate with atypical Cri-du-chat syndrome, whom only featured with weak cry but had no dysmorphic facial features and congenital heart disease. METHODS G-banding karyotyping was performed on the child and her parents. The result was validated by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Chromosome microarray (CMA) was used to further delineate the mutation. RESULTS G-banding analysis suggested that the child had a karyotype of 46,XX,del(5)(p14p15), while both of his parents had a normal karyotype. FISH confirmed the absence of D5S23 and D5S721 at 5p15.2. A 25.7 Mb deletion was detected in the 5p15.33p14.1 region by CMA. CONCLUSION The phenotype of Cri-du-chat syndrome can vary significantly among patients, particularly in neonates, and can be easily mis-diagnosed. Combined cytogenetic and molecular analysis can identify the missing fragments with greater precision.

Objective To explore the effect of nursing students' factors on the teaching effect of nurse patient communication experience . Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among 208 nursing students who received nurse-patient communication experience teaching. Research content included nursing students' subjective factors and objective factors, and non-technical expertise. The training effect factors affecting the personal factors questionnaire, self-made demographic characteristics questionnaire andnursing soft skills assessment scale were adopted to make evaluation and SPSS 17.0 was used to make correlation analysis to the obtained data. Result For respondents, the factors such as one-child in general demographic characteristics and social work experience had correlation with the teaching effect (r=0.270, 0.725; P=0.000, 0.010). Nursing students' non-professional and technical capacity, personal characteristics and the teaching effect were correlated with the teaching effect, among which the nursing students' interper-sonal relationship, organization and management skills, self-efficacy, learning power had the correlation coefficients with the teaching effect of 1.000, 0.725, 0.192 and 0.470, P<0.05, respectively. Conclusion In the teaching process, it has positive effect on the teaching effect to create the practice condition, increase the favorable factors, and guide the self awareness of nursing students.

Objective To explore the correlation between 18F-FLT SUVmax and intratumoral microvessel density (MVD) in NSCLC patients.Methods From January 2008 to December 2010,68 patients (48males and 20 females; age ranging from 36 to 84 years) with NSCLC underwent 18F-FLT PET/CT followed by surgery within two weeks.Tumor proliferation was evaluated in terms of Ki67 labeling index (LI) with SP.MVD was determined using anti-CD31 mAb (CD31-MVD),anti-CD34 mAb (CD34-MVD) and anti-CD105 mAb (CD105-MVD) for each resected tumor.Linear correlation analysis was used to analyze data.Results The mean values of CD31-MVD,CD34-MVD and CD105-MVD were 159.6,166.1,and 38.0 per view field,respectively.Tumor SUVmax was 4.1±2.9,and Ki67 LI was (37.0± 14.5) %,both of which had significantly correlations with CD105-MVD (r=0.550,0.633 ; both P<0.05),but there was no significant relationship between SUVmax and CD31-MVD,CD34-MVD (r=0.228,0.235; both P>0.05).Conclusion 18F-FLT PET/CT imaging has a positive relationship with CD105-MVD of NSCLC,and it could reflect the ability of tumor angiogenesis.
