Rotor syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder of bilirubin metabolism， and it is difficult to diagnose and differentiate due to its extreme rarity and a lack of specific clinical manifestations. In recent years， the development of genetic testing technology has enabled the early diagnosis of atypical patients. Literature search shows that only 19 cases with detailed clinical and genetic data have been reported. This article reports a case of a pregnant woman with an increase in direct bilirubin during pregnancy who was diagnosed with Rotor syndrome based on a bi-allelic mutation in the SLCO1B1 and SLCO1B3 genes and delivered successfully at last， and a retrospective analysis was performed for related articles， in order to facilitate the early accurate diagnosis of patients with Rotor syndrome and guide medications from the perspective of genetic mechanisms.

"Dietary inquiry" is a core component of the diagnostic system in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， which can be divided into three aspects including appetite， eating capacity， and food preference. Abnormalities in appetite are mainly attributed to dysfunction of the mind and impaired regulatory mechanisms. Clinical inquiry should focus on hunger sensation and the willingness to eat voluntarily. Treatment should aim to soothe the liver， regulate the spleen， nourish and calm the mind. Abnormalities in eating capacity are related to disorders of qi movement and structural dysfunction， for which inquiry should focus on whether food descends smoothly and on postprandial reactions， and the corresponding treatment is descending qi， relieving fullness， and promoting bowel movement and digestion. Abnormalities in food preference arise from damage caused by the five flavors and imbalance of visceral qi， for which inquiry should focus on dietary preferences and whether eating brings comfort. It is important to distinguish between "stomach preference" and "oral preference"， and treatment should carefully differentiate flavor tendencies and correct imbalances through appropriate dietary flavors. By refining the content of dietary inquiry， this study explores how different dimensions of eating status reflect the holistic concept and syndrome differentiation-based treatment in TCM， providing a reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of spleen and stomach diseases and related disorders.

Objective: To analyze the trends in incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer in Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2024, and to predict the incidence and mortality from 2025 to 2027, so as to provide the evidence for improving regional colorectal cancer prevention and control strategies. Methods: Data on incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer in Jinhua City from 2016 to 2024 were collected through the Zhejiang Chronic Disease Surveillance Information Management System. The crude incidence and crude mortality were calculated, and standardized using the data from the Sixth National Population Census in 2010. Trends in incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer from 2016 to 2024 were analyzed using the average annual percent change (AAPC). A grey Markov model was constructed to predict the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer from 2025 to 2027. Results: From 2016 to 2024, the crude incidence and standardized incidence of colorectal cancer in Jinhua City were 46.90/100 000 and 30.69/100 000, respectively, showing upward trends (AAPC=4.594% and 2.051%, both P<0.05). The crude mortality and standardized mortality were 17.47/100 000 and 10.36/100 000, respectively, and the trends were not statistically significant (both P>0.05). The standardized incidence and standardized mortality of colorectal cancer in males were higher than those in females (35.38/100 000 vs. 25.68/100 000, 11.96/100 000 vs. 8.57/100 000, both P<0.05). The crude incidence and crude mortality of colorectal cancer in the ≥80 years age group were the highest, at 220.04/100 000 and 186.86/100 000, respectively. From 2016 to 2024, the standardized incidence of colorectal cancer in males and females showed upward trends (AAPC=5.069% and 3.965%, both P<0.05), while the trends in standardized mortality were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The crude incidence in the 70-<80 years age group showed an upward trend (AAPC=1.320%, P<0.05), and the crude mortality in the 40-<50 years age group showed a downward trend (AAPC=-3.756%, P<0.05). Trends in other age groups were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The prediction results of the grey Markov model showed that the predicted values of crude incidence and crude mortality of colorectal cancer in the whole population would increase from 58.20/100 000 and 20.04/100 000 in 2025 to 61.70/100 000 and 21.26/100 000 in 2027. Conclusions From 2016 to 2024, the incidence of colorectal cancer in Jinhua City showed upward trends, while the mortality trend was stable. Males and the elderly aged ≥80 years are high-risk populations for colorectal cancer incidence and mortality. It is predicted that both crude incidence and crude mortality will increase from 2025 to 2027.

ObjectiveTo analyze trends in the incidence and mortality of pancreatic cancer among the registered residents in Jinhua City of Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2024, and to predict incidence and mortality rates from 2025 to 2027, thereby providing a reference for refining prevention and control strategies. MethodsData on pancreatic cancer incidence and mortality among the registered residents in Jinhua City from 2016 to 2024 were collected. The Joinpoint regression model was used to calculate the average annual percentage change (AAPC) to analyze the temporal trends of pancreatic cancer incidence and mortality. Furthermore, a GM (1,1) model was constructed using Excel 2019 to predict incidence rates and mortality rates for the years 2025 to 2027. ResultsFrom 2016 to 2024, the crude incidence and crude mortality rates of pancreatic cancer among the registered residents in Jinhua City were 8.41/100 000 and 8.19/100 000, respectively, both showing upward trends (AAPC=3.55%, 95%CI: 1.69%-5.63%; AAPC=3.35%, 95%CI: 1.08%-5.93%), while the standardized incidence and mortality rates were 5.21/100 000 and 4.93/100 000, respectively, with no statistically significant trends (AAPC=1.12% and 0.52%, both P>0.05). The incidence and mortality rates of pancreatic cancer were higher in men than in women. Both crude incidence and crude mortality rates rose steadily with increased age (both P<0.01). According to the GM (1,1) model, the crude mortality rate of pancreatic cancer among the registered residents in Jinhua City is projected to continue its upward trend from 2025 to 2027 (9.37/100 000, 9.60/100 000, and 9.83/100 000, respectively). ConclusionFrom 2016 to 2024, both the crude incidence and crude mortality rates of pancreatic cancer among registered residents in Jinhua City showed continuous upward trends, and the crude mortality rate is likely to continue rising from 2025 to 2027. Efforts to prevent and control pancreatic cancer should be strengthened, particularly among men and the very elderly.

As one of the common chronic bacterial infections, Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection is a key pathogenic factor of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer and gastric cancer. In the formation of gastric ulcer, Hp virulence factors directly damage the gastric mucosal barrier, induce the local inflammation and immune response, interfere with the regulation of gastric acid secretion, and ultimately destroy the mucosal stability. In the occurrence of gastric cancer, Hp-driven chronic inflammation is the basis of inflammation-cancer transformation, and it induces the genomic instability and epigenetic changes by interfering with key signaling pathways in host cells, thereby promoting malignant transformation. This paper systematically reviews the related mechanisms of Hp-induced gastric ulcer and gastric cancer in recent years, holding great significance for the development of new intervention strategies and the precise prevention and treatment of gastric cancer.

ObjectiveTo develop and validate a diagnostic prediction model for differentiating pulmonary tuberculosis from community-acquired pneumonia based on routine blood parameters. MethodsA total of 642 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and 503 patients with community-acquired pneumonia were retrospectively enrolled from the Seventh Hospital of Tangshan. They were randomly divided into a training set and an internal validation set at a 7∶3 ratio. Additionally， 218 patients from the 981st Hospital were independently included as an external validation set. The Boruta algorithm and recursive feature elimination were employed to select predictors from 82 blood parameters， sex， and age. A multivariate Logistic regression model was established and evaluated using receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curves， calibration curves， and decision curve analysis. ResultsThe final model incorporated eight predictors， namely uric acid， urea nitrogen， alkaline phosphatase， monoamine oxidase， alanine aminotransferase， glutathione， neutrophil percentage， and age. The model achieved areas under the curve （AUCs） of 0.800 （95%CI： 0.769-0.830）， 0.787 （95%CI： 0.738-0.836）， and 0.736 （95%CI： 0.667-0.835） in the training， internal validation， and external validation sets， respectively. The model demonstrated good calibration， and decision curve analysis showed clinical net benefit within the threshold probability range of 10%-80%. ConclusionThe developed model exhibits good discriminative ability and clinical utility， serving as an effective early screening tool for primary healthcare institutions.

Objective: To analyze population distribution characteristics, routine blood parameters, and independent influencing factors of elevated hemoglobin in overweight red blood cell (RBC) products (suspected polycythemia), and to provide evidence for optimizing pre-donor screening and improving component quality and clinical transfusion safety. Methods: A total of 82 overweight RBC product cases verified by the quality control department from 2021 to 2025 were retrospectively enrolled. Product information, donor demographic data and blood disposal outcomes were statistically described. Correlation analysis and multiple linear regression were performed on 55 samples with complete routine blood test data. Results: Overweight products were mainly leukocyte-filtered suspended red blood cells (70.73%), with 2 U specifications accounting for 56.10%. Most donors were young and middle-aged males (96.34% male, 87.80% aged 18-49 years). Hb, RBC count and Hct in the overweight group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.001), with strong correlations among the three indicators. History of high-altitude exposure was an independent risk factor for elevated Hb (B=14.517, P=0.020). Higher Hb level was associated with higher discard rates of blood products for clinical use. Conclusion: Overweight RBC products result from synchronous abnormal elevation of Hb, RBC count and Hct among donors. Young and middle-aged males and those with a history high-altitude exposure are high-risk populations. Current donor screening only sets the lower limit of Hb without unified upper limits for RBC-related parameters. Incorporating upper-limit screening for Hb/Hct and standardized inquiry for high-altitude exposure to routine pre-donation assessment may reduce overweight events of RBC products, decrease blood discard rates and enhance transfusion safety. It also offers practical in-sights for implementing the 2026 edition of the Technical Operating Procedures for Blood Stations.

Objective To investigate and analyze the occupational stress levels and influencing factors among radiation workers in China, and provide a reference for alleviating occupational stress and promoting mental health. Methods Using the general situation questionnaire, Effort-Reward Imbalance questionnaire, and radiation protection knowledge questionnaire, a convenience sampling method was adopted to investigate the occupational stress of 243 radiation workers in Liaoning, Fujian, Guangdong, and Xinjiang provinces. The independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance, chi-square test, and binary logistic regression were used to analyze the influencing factors. Results The average score of Effort-Reward Imbalance was 0.97 ± 0.22, and 100 (41.15%) radiation workers had occupational stress. There were significant differences in the detection rate of occupational stress among radiation workers of different ages, working years in radiation positions, monthly incomes, daily sleep durations, and daily working hours (P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis identified daily working hours as a factor contributing to occupational stress. Conclusion The occupational stress among radiation workers in China is relatively severe. It is recommended to pay attention to the associated risks and implement targeted intervention measures to reduce the impact of occupational stress.

ObjectiveTo develop the Evidence Grading Scale for Ancient classical prescriptions in Traditional Chinese medicine， assess its reliability and validity， and apply it in practice to provide multi-source evidence for clinical practice guidelines development. MethodsLiterature retrieval was conducted to extract and screen existing evaluation dimensions， then the initial items were summarized using thematic analysis. Experts in the clinical medicine， medical history and literature participated in the Delphi questionnaire survey to evaluate and refine the items. An expert consensus meeting was conducted to finalize the included items， refine the method for items evaluation and evidence grading. The evidence quality rating scale for ancient classical traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） prescriptions was then established and tested for reliability and validity. ResultsThrough literature review， extraction， screening and summarization， a total of 3 dimensions and 12 initial items were formed. Questionnaires were sent to 69 experts to evaluate the initial items， with a questionnaire response rate of 100% and an expert authority coefficient of 0.92. All 12 items were retained for they had importance scores above 4. The Evidence Grading Scale on Ancient classical prescriptions in Traditional Chinese medicine includes 3 dimensions with 12 items. The 3 dimensions includes ancient evidence， inheritance status， and modern application. Each dimension contains 4 items， and each item has a full score of 5 points. The evidence was rated as high-level， moderate-level， and low-level according to the final scores. The content validity index （CVI） of the 12 items was ＞0.9， the average CVI of the scale was 0.98， and the intraclass correlation coefficient （ICC） was 0.90. ConclusionThe Evidence Grading Scale on Ancient classical prescriptions in Traditional Chinese medicine has good reliability and validity， which is practical for use in the development of TCM clinical guidelines and can better support clinical decision-making.
