This paper aims to discuss the ideas and experience about the radiology residency training system of Canada with a presentation of its base accreditation standards for five aspects, competency goals for seven roles, four stages of training arrangement, and two types of final assessment questions. Although the Canada's radiology residency program differs from China's standardized resident and specialist training programs for radiology, there are still several points that are worth referencing, including emphasizing the training priority of competency goals, providing a specific basis for the stratification of training, offering clear guidance for the implementation of training content, and improving assessment methods to focus on competency goals. These points are of great value for improving the standardized radiology resident and specialist training programs in China, so as to provide a reference for the training of excellent radiologists in China.

Objective:To investigate the effect of spouse smoking cessation(SSC)on the pregnancy outcome of the patients with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)based on a secondary analysis of the results of a large randomized clinical trial.Methods:Basedon the inclusion and exclusion criteria,this secondary analysis included 861 female participants in the Trial of Acu-puncture Combined with Clomiphene for PCOS from 2011 to 2015.According to the smoking status of their husbands,we divided the subjects into a smoking group(n=345),a non-smoking group(n=387),and a smoking cessation group(n=129),collected their general demographics,anthropometric indexes,laboratory results and pregnancy outcomes,compared them among the three groups,and analyzed the relationship of SSC with the pregnancy outcomes of the PCOS patients.Results:The levels of total testos-terone(T)and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)in the smoking cessation group were similar to those in the non-smoking group,but significantly lower than those in the smoking group(P=0.014 and P=0.011).The contents of fasting insulin,total cho-lesterol,and apolipoprotein B exhibited statistically significant differences among the three groups(P=0.029,P=0.018 and P=0.024),dramatically lower in the smoking cessation and non-smoking groups than in the smoking group,but similar between the for-mer two.The ovulation rate of the smoking cessation group was similar to that of the non-smoking group,remarkably higher than that of the smoking group(P=0.038).No statistically significant differences were observed in other indicators among the three groups(P＞0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that SSC during pregnancy preparation was a protective factor for ovulation in the PCOS patients(OR=1.74,95％CI:1.04-2.92,P=0.035).Conclusion:SSC can improve androgen and glucolipid me-tabolisms of infertile patients with PCOS,and thereby significantly increase the ovulation rate.It is of positive significance to encourage SSC clinically for improving the pregnancy outcomes of infertile women with PCOS.

Clinical data of 3 patients with linezolid-induced lactic acidosis treated in 2 hospitals in Beijing and Shandong were retrospectively analyzed,and relevant literatures at home and abroad were retrieved.The pathogene-sis,risk factors,clinical manifestations,and treatment scheme were valuated.Three patients received linezolid anti-infection treatment due to their disease condition.At different phases of treatment,they developed lactic acidosis that was difficult to be explained with septic shock.After discontinuing linezolid and receiving bedside continuous veno-venous hemofiltration(CVVH)treatment,patient's blood lactate levels decreased significantly.It is clinically diagnosed linezolid-induced lactic acidosis finally,but the initial diagnosis was septic shock by all doctors.After ac-tive treatment,2 patients recovered and 1 patient died.Linezolid-induced lactic acidosis is easily to be misdiagnosed as septic shock.Clinicians should enhance their understanding and recognition of the early diagnosis of the adverse reactions,take effective measures,so as to improve patient prognosis.

Lung cancer is one of the malignant tumors with the highest mortality and the fastest growing incidence,which seriously threatens human life and health.With the popularization of low-dose spiral CT and the enhancement of public awareness of physical examination,more and more ground-glass nodules have been detected.Accumulating studies have shown that for patients with nodules diameter≤2 cm and ground-glass opacity≥50% ,under the condition of ensuring the cutting edge,thoracoscopic sublobectomy or subsegmentectomy can more effectively preserve the lung function of patients,and has gradually become the recommended surgical method.In recent years,with the continuous improvement of thoracoscopic surgery technology,thoracoscopic subsegmentectomy and combined subsegmentectomy have been gradually carried out.Compared with lobectomy and segmentectomy,subsegmental resection can retain more normal lung tissue and reduce the loss of lung function under the condition of ensuring the safe cutting edge.However,thoracoscopic subsegmental resection requires a higher level of surgical technique and anatomical knowledge for the operator,and is rarely reported in relevant literature.Therefore,this article reviews the progress of anatomical subsegmentectomy and combined subsegmentectomy in the treatment of early non-small cell lung cancer.

Objective To explore the molecular mechanism of Gualou Guizhi decoction which regulates the interferon regulator factor 5(IRF5)signaling pathway to inhibit M1 type microglia activation and reduce the inflammatory response to protect damaged nerve cells.Methods Microglia(BV2)cells were randomly divided into BV2-control,BV2-model,BV2-experimental-L,-M,-H groups.The BV2-control group was given routine culture;the BV2-model group used 100 ng·mL-1 lipopolysaccharide(LPS)to stimulate BV2 which establish an inflammatory model;the BV2-experimental-L,-M,-H groups were cultured in 50,100,200 μg·mL-1 GLGZD and 100 ng·mL-1 LPS.The HT22 cells were divided into the HT-22-blank group,HT-22-model group,HT-22-control group and HT-22 experimental group.HT-22-blank group were conventional culture;HT-22-model group were oxygen glucose deprivation was performed for 2 h,then the complete medium was replaced for 24 h;HT-22-control group were after 2 h of oxygen glucose deprivation,the 100 ng·mL-1 LPS conditioned medium was replaced and incubated for 24 h;HT-22-experimental group were after 2 h of oxygen glucose deprivation,the 200 μg·mL-1 GLGZD conditioned medium was added for 24 h.Interleukin-12(IL-12)and IL-23 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA);the protein of IRF5,cluster differentiation 16(CD1 6)and MHC class Ⅱ(MHC-Ⅱ)was detected by Western blot;the expression of the synaptic marker protein class Ⅲ β-Tubulin(Tuj-1)was observed by immunofluorescence.Results IL-12 contents in the BV2-control,BV2-model and BV2-experimental-L,-M,-H groups were(2.62±1.02),(10.67±3.22),(6.87±1.61),(3.96±1.22)and(3.36±1.04)pg·mL-1;IL-23 contents were(20.40±2.04),(77.08±3.25),(76.28±3.75),(63.96±4.94)and(54.48±3.34)pg·mL-1;relative expression levels of IRF5 protein were 0.80±0.41,2.22±0.69,1.11±0.11,0.92±0.39 and 0.65±0.29;relative expression levels of CD16 protein were 0.69±0.45,1.91±0.52,1.42±0.22,1.04±0.15 and 0.67±0.30;relative expression levels of MHC-Ⅱ protein were 0.89±0.27,1.96±0.19,1.34±0.38,1.15±0.19 and 0.68±0.24.BV2-experimental-M,-H groups were compared with the BV2-model group,the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).The Tuj-1 protein expression levels were 28.85±6.69,14.44±1.98,7.75±1.12 and 20.05±3.54,determined in the HT22-blank,HT22-model,HT22-control and HT22-experimental groups.The HT22-experimental group was compared with the HT22-control group,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion GLGZD may reduces the activation of microglia M1 phenotype through IRF5 signaling pathway,and then inhibits inflammatory response to protect damaged nerve cells.

Cuproptosis is a new type of cell death that depends on intracellular copper accumulation to trigger the aggregation of mitochondrial lipoacylated protein and the degradation of iron-sulfur cluster protein,with a different mechanism of action from autophagy,ferroptosis,pyroptosis,and necroptosis.Cuproptosis is closely association with the development of liver cancer and resistance to antitumor drugs,as well as the progression of various liver diseases such as hereditary liver diseases,nonalcoholic fatty liver disease,viral hepatitis,and liver cirrhosis.This article summarizes the mechanism of cuproptosis and its role in liver diseases,in order to provide a reference for further research and treatment of liver diseases.

Objective:To establish an in vivo infection model of West Nile virus (WNV) pseudovirus and evaluate the neutralizing activity of antibody WNV-XH1.Methods:A stable cell line that can package the WNV pseudovirus was established in the early stage to prepare the pseudovirus supernatant. The supernatant was concentrated and infected BHK21 cells to detect the titer of the pseudovirus. After intraperitoneal injection of the pseudovirus into C57BL/J mice, bioluminescence imaging was performed to observe the infection status of the pseudovirus in the mice. After simultaneous infection, blood was collected and ELISA was used to detect NS1 levels in mouse serum. The in vivo functional activity of antibody WNV-XH1 was evaluated using the established mouse infection model.Results:Fluorescence was detected in C57BL/J mice infected with WNV pseudovirus, and the NS1 levels in the peripheral blood serum of mice infected with pseudovirus were significantly higher than those of non infected mice (1.453±0.09vs0.305±0.018). After intravenous administration of WNV-XH1 antibody before the attack, the fluorescence signal in the mice decreased and the serum NS1 level decreased (0.384±0.015).Conclusions:A successful in vivo infection model of WNV pseudovirus was established, and it was confirmed that the antibody WNV-XH1 had a protective effect against WNV pseudovirus infection in vivo.

Objective:To investigate the concern about pollen broadcasting in Chinese population from multiple dimensions and to understand the information about allergic rhinitis (AR) in China by analyzing related factors.Methods:From March 1 to September 30, 2022, a large-scale multi-center cross-sectional survey was conducted based on the Questionnaire Star platform in 21 Chinese hospitals. A total of 7 056 subjects from 7 regions in China: Northeast, North, East, Central, South, Southwest, and Northwest China were included. Basic characteristics (including social demographic characteristics and disease characteristics of AR patients), concern about pollen broadcasting, the willingness of pollen-induced AR (PiAR) patients to receive pollen broadcasting, and the treatment satisfaction rate of AR patients were collected. The chi-square test, multivariate linear regression model, and Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the concern about pollen broadcasting in the Chinese population and related factors from multiple dimensions.Results:Among 7 056 subjects, 23.02% were concerned about pollen broadcasting. Among 3 176 self-reported AR and 1 019 PiAR patients, 25.60% and 39.16% were concerned about pollen broadcasting, respectively, which was higher than that of non-AR or non-PiAR subjects ( χ2 value was 21.74 and 175.11, respectively, both P<0.001). Among AR patients, the proportion of spring and autumn allergen-positive patients concerned about pollen broadcasting was higher than that in perennial allergen-positive patients ( χ2 value was 20.90 and 19.51, respectively, both P<0.001). The proportion of AR patients with asthma, sinusitis, allergic conjunctivitis, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases was higher than those without complications ( χ2 value was 50.83, 21.97, 56.78, 7.62, respectively, all P<0.05). The proportion of AR patients in North China who could find pollen broadcasting locally was 31.01%, significantly higher than those in other regions (all P<0.05). Multivariate linear regression model analysis showed that among PiAR patients, those with higher per capita household income and higher AR disease cognition levels had been concerned about pollen broadcasting in the past, and those complicated with allergic conjunctivitis had stronger intention to receive pollen broadcasting (B value was 0.24, 0.13, 0.66, 0.47, respectively, all P<0.05). The higher the disease cognition level of PiAR patients, the stronger their willingness to actively participate in treatment ( R2=0.72, P<0.001). Only 18.89% of AR patients felt satisfied with the treatment effect. Logistic regression analysis showed that in AR patients, the treatment satisfaction rate was significantly higher among those concerned about pollen broadcasting compared to those who were not ( OR=1.83, P<0.001). Conclusions:Currently, the dissemination of pollen broadcasting in China is hindered by various factors such as disease cognition level. The treatment satisfaction among AR patients remains unsatisfactory.

Objective:To explore the differences in distribution of colorectal cancer-related risk factors between patients with early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) and those with late-onset colorectal cancer (LOCRC) in a Chinese cohort, and to provide reference and guidance for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of EOCRC.Methods:Using data from the National Colorectal Cancer Cohort study cohort, 5377 patients with newly diagnosed colorectal cancer (CRC) attending the Department of Colorectal Surgery and Oncology of the Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from June 2018 to February 2023 were included in the study cohort. Questionnaires capturing epidemiological features, including lifestyle and dietary habits, were administered. The patients were divided into two groups, the cut-off age being 50 years. Those aged ≥50 years were defined as having LOCRC and those aged <50 years as having EOCRC. Wilcoxon (continuous variates) or χ 2 tests (categorical variates) were performed to compare differences in epidemiological features. Results:A total of 3799 people who had completed the questionnaire were included in this study, 491 of whom had EOCRC and 3308 LOCRC. The response rate to the questionnaire was 70.7%. The median ages of patients in the EOCRC and LOCRC groups were 43 and 66 years, respectively. There was a higher proportion of female patients (48.5% [253/491] vs. 35.8% [1184/3308], χ 2=28.8, P<0.001) in the EOCRC than the LOCRC group. Patients with EOCRC and lower body mass index (medium 22.1 kg/m 2 vs. 22.9 kg/m 2, W=744 793, P=0.005) and lower proportion of abdominal obesity (87.2% [428/491] vs. 93.8% [3103/3308], χ 2=38.3, P<0.001). Patients with EORC significantly less commonly reported a history of hypertension (5.9% [29/491] vs. 41.6% [1375/3308], χ 2=231.8, P<0.001), diabetes (1.4% [7/491] vs. 14.4% [476/3308], χ 2=63.6, P<0.001) and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (0.8% [4/491] vs. 7.3% [241/3308], χ 2=28.6, P<0.001). However, the proportion of patients with a family history of CRC was significantly higher ( P<0.05) in the EOCRC group (10.2% [50/491] vs. 6.9% [227/3 308], χ 2=6.5, P=0.010]. In terms of lifestyle, patients with EOCRC had shorter sleep duration (median: 8.0 hours vs. 8.5 hours, W=578 989, P<0.001), and were less likely to participate in physical exercise (29.5% [145/491] vs. 38.7% [1281/3308] χ 2=15.0, P<0.001) or engage in physical work (65.2% [320/491] vs. 74.1% [2450/3308], χ 2=16.7, P<0.001). Meanwhile, in the EOCRC group a lower percentage of patients were smokers (29.3% [144/491] vs. 42.7% [1411/3308], χ 2=46.9, P<0.001) and they smoked less (median 17.6 pack/year vs. 30.0 pack/year,W=55 850, P<0.001). Fewer patients in the EOCRC group habitually drank alcohol (21.0% [103/491] vs. 38.0% [1257/3308], χ 2=57.5, P<0.001) or tea (17.5% [86/491] vs. 28.7% [948/3308], χ 2=26.2, P<0.001) than in the LOCRC group. Compared with the LOCRC group, patients with EOCRC had a higher frequency of intake of fresh meat, fresh fruit, eggs, and dairy products and a lower frequency of intake of preserved meat and pickled vegetables; these differences are statistically significant (all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in consumption of fresh vegetables or a high-sugar diet between the two groups (both P>0.05). Conclusions:This study highlights disparities in adverse lifestyle and dietary habits between patients in China with EOCRC versus LOCRC.
