ObjectiveTo characterize the seasonal patterns of influenza in Kunming City, Yunnan Province before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic, and provide scientific evidence for optimizing influenza prevention and control strategies. MethodsInfluenza-like illness (ILI) and etiological surveillance data for influenza from the 14^th week of 2010 to the 13^th week of 2024 in Kunming City of Yunnan Province were collected. Harmonic regression models were constructed to analyze the epidemic characteristics and seasonal patterns of influenza before (2010/2011‒2019/2020 influenza seasons), during (2020/2021‒2022/2023 influenza seasons), and after (2023/2024 influenza season) the COVID-19 pandemic. ResultsBefore the COVID-19 pandemic, influenza in Kunming City mainly exhibited an annual cyclic pattern without a significant semi-annual periodicity, peaking from December to February of the next year, with an epidemic duration of 20‒30 weeks. During the pandemic, influenza seasonality shifted, with an increase in semi-annual periodicity and an approximate one month delay in annual peaks. However, after the pandemic, the annual amplitude of influenza increased compared with that before the pandemic, and the epidemic duration extended by about one month. Although the annual peak largely reverted to the pre-pandemic levels, the annual peaks for different influenza subtypes/lineages had not fully recovered. ConclusionInfluenza seasonality in Kunming City underwent substantial alterations following the COVID-19 pandemic and has not yet fully reverted to pre-pandemic levels. Continuous surveillance on different subtypes/lineages of influenza viruses remains essential, and prevention and control strategies should be adjusted and optimized in a timely manner based on current epidemic trends.

Breast cancer is one of the most common tumors worldwide.Despite significant pro-gress in diagnosis and treatment,the incidence and mortality rates remain high due to its highly inva-sive and metastatic characteristics.Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome type 1(TRPS1)is an atypical globin transcription factor-1(GATA).It plays an important role in regulating cell proliferation and differentiation and tissue growth.Studies have found that TRPS1 is significantly overexpressed in breast cancer and closely related to tumor invasion and metastasis.TRPS1 is specifically expressed in the ductal epithelial cells of breast tissue and closely associated with the differentiation of breast ducts.In recent years,scholars have mainly focused on the role and mechanisms of TRPS1 in the di-agnosis and treatment of breast cancer.This review summarized the research progress of TRPS1 in breast cancer,aiming to further analyze its clinical application value in the occurrence,development,diagnosis,and treatment of breast cancer.

Objective By comparison with the surgical resection,to evaluate the relapse-free survival(RFS),overall survival(OS),and clinical safety of transcatheter hepatic arterial chemoembolization(TACE)combined with microwave ablation(MWA)in the treatment of early primary hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods From January 2013 to January 2018 at authors'hospital,51 HCC patients received TACE combined with MWA(TACE+MWA group)and 58 HCC patients received surgical resection(RES group).The HCC lesions were single tumor with diameter ≤7 cm or multiple tumors with stage Ⅰ a-Ⅱ a meeting the"up-to-7"criteria.The postoperative RFS,OS,and clinical safety were compared between the two groups.Results The one-,3-and 5-year RFS in the TACE+MWA group were 84.3％,37.3％and 13.7％respectively,which in the RES group were 67.2％,27.6％and 13.8％respectively.The difference in the one-year RFS between the two groups was statistically significant(P=0.039),and the differences in the 3-and 5-year RFS between the two groups were not statistically significant(P=0.281 and P=0.992,respectively).The one-,3-and 5-year survival rates in the TACE+MWA group were 98％,62.7％and 45.1％respectively,which in the RES group were 94.8％,75.9％and 44.8％respectively,and the differences between the two groups were not statistically significant(P=0.704,P=0.137 and P=0.977 respectively).No treatment-related death occurred in both groups.In the TACE+MWA group,the main complications included transient embolism syndrome,abdominal pain during ablation procedure,and mild to moderate transient elevation of transaminase after treatment.In the RES group,the main postoperative complications included fever,pleural effusion,abdominal effusion,and intraoperative bleeding;and in one patient the postoperative liver function impairment worsened to Child grade C.The average cost of hospitalization in the TACE+MWA group was(39 834.98±6 717.38)Chinese yuan,which in the RES group was(49 042.59±11 810.69)Chinese yuan,the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P=0.017).The hospitalization length in the TACE+MWA group was 23 days(19-28 days),which in the RES group was 21 days(17-25 days),and the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant(P=0.196).Conclusion For the treatment of early HCC,TACE combined with MWA has reliable curative effect,and also has the advantages of being safe and economical.Therefore,this therapy can be used as a preferred option of non-surgical treatment for single tumor with ≤7 cm diameter or multiple tumors with stage Ⅰ a-Ⅱa meeting"up-to-7"criteria.(J Intervent Radiol,2024,33:488-494)

Objective To discuss the clinical efficacy and safety of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy(HAIC)combined with carrelizumab and sorafenib in treating advanced hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods The clinical data of 36 HCC patients,who were admitted to the Affiliated Nantong Third Hospital of Nantong University of China to receive HAIC combined with carrelizumab and sorafenib from August 2019 to August 2020,were collected.According to modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors(mRECIST),the objective response rate(ORR)and disease control rate(DCR)of the combination therapy were evaluated.The Common Terminology Criteria Adverse Events Version 5.0 developed by American National Cancer Institute was used to evaluate the clinical safety.Results After receiving 4 cycles of FOLFOX-HAIC,the ORR and DCR of the patients were 38.9％and 77.8％respectively.The patients were followed up for 30 months.The median progression-free survival(mPFS)was 306 days(95％CI:242.7-369.3),and the median overall survival(mOS)was 515 days(95％CI:2 482.5-547.5).After HAIC treatment,one patient was successfully changed to surgical operation.The overall incidence of adverse events were 100％.There were 9 adverse events(25％)above grade m,including severe abdominal pain(n=2,5.6％),nausea(n=1,2.8％),vomiting(n=1,2.8％),elevated alanine aminotransferase(n=3,8.3％),elevated aspartate aminotransferase(n=1,2.8％),and death due to pulmonary failure caused by severe immune-induced pneumonia(n=1,2.8％).Conclusion For the treatment of advanced HCC,HAIC combined with carrelizumab and sorafenib has better ORR and DCR with controllable safety,which provides a new option for the treatment of advanced HCC.However,studies with large sample size need to be conducted before its long-term survival benefit of patients can be further validated.

Objective:It analyzed the population aggregation characteristics of the treatment costs for Traditional Chinese Medi-cine(TCM)dominant diseases,and make targeted recommendations for relevant health policies.Methods:A total of 205 medical insti-tutions were obtained through stratified whole-cluster sampling to analyze the composition of the beneficiary population based on Sys-tem of Health Accounts 2011 for the treatment costs of TCM dominant diseases for local residents in Beijing in 2019.Results:The treatment costs of Beijing's TCM dominant diseases are dominated by diseases that include basic western medicine treatment,with male patients'costs accounting for a higher proportion than those of females,and the trend of younger patients in types of diseases treated by TCM and the costs have mainly flowed to females,with more than 50%of the treatment costs being consumed by patients aged 60 years old and above.Conclusion:It is needed to pay attention to male and child patients aged 0～14 years and their priority diseases,strengthen the construction of Chinese medicine geriatric health services,and adopt differentiated strategies for different groups of people so as to maximize the advantages of Chinese medicine.
