Objective:
To understand the epidemiological characteristics and disease burden of influenza like illness (ILI) among student populations, so as to provide data support for policy formulation and optimal allocation of health resources.
Methods:
From January 2024 to February 2025, a questionnaire survey was conducted among parents of kindergarten, primary school, junior and senior high school students in 9 districts of Shenzhen, including Longhua, Futian, Bao an, Longgang, Luohu, Nanshan, Guangming, Pingshan and Yantian. Parents were asked to complete the questionnaire based on whether their children had fever, cough, vomiting, diarrhea, rash and other common symptoms in 2024. A total of 3 537 parents were investigated, and 444 ILI cases were included as study subjects. The epidemiological burden, including incidence rate of influenza, visitation rate, years lived with disability (YLDs) and economic burden (including direct economic burden, indirect economic burden and intangible burden) were analyzed.
Results:
The incidence rate of influenza among students in Shenzhen in 2024 was 12.55%. The ILI incidence rates in kindergarten, primary school, junior and senior high school were 14.01%, 11.69% and 5.23%, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( χ 2= 45.20, P <0.01). The ILI consultation rate among students was 85.36%, and the consultation rates in kindergarten (87.36%) and primary school students (84.62%) were higher than those in junior and senior high school students ( 56.52 %) ( χ 2=16.47, P <0.01). A total of 78.88% of cases did not receive etiological detection.The median total economic burden per ILI case was 2 354.62 yuan, including direct medical costs of 300.00 yuan, direct non medical costs of 212.50 yuan, indirect costs of 1 000.00 yuan, and intangible burden of 500.00 yuan.
Conclusions
Schools are high risk environment for influenza, and younger students are a high risk group for ILI. The disease burden caused by student ILI remains substantial.
2.Expert recommendations on vision friendly built environments for myopia prevention and control in children and adolescents
Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(1):1-5
Abstract
The prevention and control of myopia in Chinese children and adolescents has become a major public health issue. While maintaining increased outdoor activity as a cornerstone intervention, there is an urgent need to explore new complementary approaches that can be effectively implemented in both indoor and outdoor settings. In recent years, environmental spatial frequency has gained increasing attention as one of the key environmental factors influencing the development and progression of myopia. Both animal studies and human research have confirmed that indoor environments lacking mid to high spatial frequency components, often characterized as "visually impoverished", can promote axial elongation and myopia through mechanisms such as disruption of retinal neural signaling, impaired accommodative function, and altered expression of related molecules. Based on the scientific consensus, it is recommended that "enriching of environmental spatial frequency" should be integrated into the myopia prevention and control framework. Following the principles of schoolled organization, family cooperation, community involvement, and student participation, specific measures are put forward in three areas:optimizing school visual settings, improving home spatial environments, and promoting healthy visual behavior. The aim is to create "visually friendly" indoor environments as an important supplement to outdoor activity, thereby providing a novel perspective and strategy for comprehensively advancing myopia prevention and control among children and adolescents.

Against the backdrop of digital transformation in higher education, the traditional teaching model has become inadequate to meet the demands for cultivating new-quality nursing talents. Nursing ethics teaching confronts several dilemmas, such as unbalanced regional development, disconnection between theory and practice, scattered teaching resources, and fragmented knowledge points. With the iterative update of modern digital technologies, the knowledge graph, due to its structured, semantic, scalable, and multi-source integrative characteristics, offers a technological pathway to address these issues. Based on the construction foundation of the Ministry of Education’s first batch of virtual teaching and research platforms for humanistic nursing courses, the nursing ethics artificial intelligence(Al)course was developed around the“thinking-research-teaching-learning”framework. By strengthening ideological and political guidance, constructing a curriculum knowledge graph, and promoting the deep integration of humanistic care and professional knowledge,the course realized intelligent support for research,learning,and teaching. This innovative education model provides a replicable paradigm for cultivating outstanding nursing talents equipped with humanistic literacy, digital competence, and advanced ethical thinking, while also offering references for the digital transformation of higher nursing education.

The hemostatic function in patients with liver cirrhosis is not simply in a state of hypocoagulability, but rather a fragile rebalanced state resulting from the simultaneous remodeling of procoagulant and anticoagulant systems, the von Willebrand factor-platelet axis, and the fibrinolytic system. Since patients with liver cirrhosis frequently exhibit laboratory abnormalities including thrombocytopenia, prolonged prothrombin time/international normalized ratio, abnormal fibrinogen level, and elevated D-dimer, these manifestations substantially overlap with the laboratory phenotype of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), leading to potential misdiagnosis and unnecessary blood product transfusion or correction of coagulation parameters in clinical practice. Current evidence suggests that factor Ⅷ level and the widely used International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis DIC scoring system have limited value in differential diagnosis in patients with liver disease, and there is still a lack of a unified pathway for differential diagnosis. This article systematically reviews the pathophysiological overlap between rebalanced hemostasis in liver cirrhosis and DIC and summarizes the diagnostic value of conventional coagulation parameters, emerging hemostatic biomarkers, and global hemostatic assays in differential diagnosis of these conditions. Furthermore, it proposes a four-step diagnostic pathway of “trigger identification, baseline comparison, dynamic monitoring, and organ assessment” with reference to the specific clinical scenarios including infection, acute decompensation, gastrointestinal bleeding, hepatocellular carcinoma, and the perioperative period. In the future, DIC prediction models based on the features of liver disease should be established in combination with viscoelastic testing and multidimensional biomarkers, so as to achieve precise risk stratification and individualized management of coagulation abnormalities in patients with liver cirrhosis.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of proximal femoral reconstruction osteotomy (PFRO) in hip revision arthroplasty.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted of the 92 patients (93 hips) who had undergone PFRO in hip revision arthroplasty at Department of Orthopedics, The First Affiliated Hospital, University of Science and Technology of China from January 2019 to December 2023. The cohort included 50 males (51 hips) and 42 females (42 hips), with an age of (64.5±11.7) years and a body mass index of (23.7±2.9) kg/m 2. Surgical procedures were performed under general anesthesia via a posterolateral approach. Biologic prostheses were used in femoral reconstruction, and PFRO fragments repositioned and fixed using cerclage wires. The data collected were operative time, intraoperative blood loss, length of osteotomy fragments, healing at the osteotomy site, intraoperative and follow-up complications, as well as Harris hip score (HHS) and leg length discrepancy (LLD) at the last follow-up. Results:For this cohort, operative time was (174.9±45.6) minutes, intraoperative blood loss (594.6±206.6) mL, and length of osteotomy fragments (12.3±2.3) mm. The 92 patients were followed up for (35.8±12.3) months. For them, HHS improved from preoperative (38.3±8.5) points to (80.5±12.8) points at the last follow-up, and LLD decreased from preoperative (21.2±13.0) mm to 2.0(0.0, 5.0) mm at the last follow-up, showing significant differences ( P<0.05). The osteotomy sites healed in 89 cases (90 hips), with a displacement of the greater trochanter <5 mm; 3 cases (3 hips) experienced nonunion with wire loosening and a displacement of the greater trochanter >10 mm. The osteotomy fragment of the greater trochanter got fractured in 2 patients (2 hips) and a fracture of the medial cortex of the proximal femur occurred in 11 patients (11 hips), but follow-ups observed healing of all the fractures. One patient (1 hip) developed postoperative posterior dislocation of the hip which was treated conservatively. One patient (1 hip) developed postoperative periprosthetic infection which did not recur after twice of debridement followed by prosthetic revision of the proximal femoral tumor. Conclusion:In hip revision arthroplasty, as PFRO demonstrates a low incidence of fragment fractures of the greater trochanter and a high rate of healing at the osteotomy site, its short-term clinical outcomes are satisfactory.

Objective:To analyze the long-term trends in cause-specific mortality across different sexes and age groups in China from 1990 to 2021, and quantitatively assess the impact of population aging on cause-specific deaths by sex.Methods:Based on data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021, this study extracted the number of deaths, crude mortality rates and age-standardized mortality rates (ASMRs) for all causes, Level 1 causes (communicable, maternal, neonatal, and nutritional diseases; non-communicable diseases; injuries) and Level 3 causes in China from 1990 to 2021, stratified by sex and age group. This study analyzed the current situation and long-term trends in mortality in China, applying decomposition analysis to quantify the impact of population aging on the number of deaths.Results:In 2021, the ASMRs of all-cause death and the three primary causes of death in Level 1 in China were 644.68, 26.59, 575.55, and 41.82 per 100 000, respectively. The ASMRs of the three primary causes continued to decline, with the smallest decrease observed in non-communicable diseases [EAPC=-1.79%, 95% CI (-1.92%, -1.66%)] and the largest in communicable, maternal, neonatal, and nutritional diseases (CMNND) [EAPC=-5.86%, 95% CI (-6.06%, -5.65%)]. The ASMRs were higher in males than females, with a smaller decline. Mortality was higher in the elderly. CMNND deaths mainly occurred in children under 5 and the elderly; non-communicable disease deaths were concentrated in the elderly; injury deaths were relatively evenly distributed across age groups. The proportion of CMNND deaths decreased annually, while the proportion of non-communicable disease deaths increased. From 1990 to 2021, population aging contributed to an increase of 8.11 million all-cause deaths, 167 464.42 CMNND deaths, 7.74 million non-communicable diseases deaths, and 196 287.78 injury deaths. The impact of population aging differed by sex and disease, with male and female aging-related deaths increasing by 4.47 million and 3.70 million, respectively. Compared to 1990, the age-specific mortality rate contributions in 2021 were -72.82% for males and -93.87% for females, with variations by sex and disease. Conclusion:The composition of disease-related deaths in China has changed notably. Population aging is linked to the sharp rise in deaths, with varying impacts across sexes and diseases. Reducing disease mortality can help lessen the negative effects of population aging.

Hospital culture refers to the unique values and hospital spirit forged in the long-term provision of medical services,which exerts a significant impact on a hospital's comprehensive competitiveness and soft power.Party building plays a crucial role in the construction and development of hospital culture.The hospital's people-oriented cultural philosophy is inher-ently consistent with the Party's fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly;therefore,Party building is of great significance for shaping hospital culture—as the inherent soul and driving force of a hospital—and promoting the sound develop-ment of the hospital.This paper analyzes the problems existing in the guidance of cultural construction by Party building in the 5th Party Branch of the Geriatrics & Gerontology Research Institute of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital,such as misalign-ments in ideological understanding,a shortage of Party affairs cadres,and inadequate excavation of cultural connotations.Draw-ing on the branch's experience and achievements,this paper introduces the specific measures and experiences of Party building guiding hospital cultural construction,including delving deeply into spiritual culture,intensifying efforts in institutional culture,fostering a culture of integrity,expanding service-oriented culture,and nurturing a culture of role models and heroes.Further-more,it puts forward valuable experiences:taking institutional development as the foundation to solidify the core mechanism of political guidance;taking innovative practices as the means to construct a multi-dimensional integrated promotion system;and a-dopting a problem-oriented approach as the pathway to drive the transformation and upgrading of practical outcomes.
