ObjectiveTo explore the effectiveness of health information dissemination and its influencing factors using the "Shanghai CDC" WeChat public account as a case study, providing references for public health institutions to optimize the use of official new media platforms for effective publicity. MethodsA total of 1 030 headline articles published on the "Shanghai CDC" WeChat public account between 2016 and 2019 were analyzed using content analysis and non-parametric tests to examine the impact of factors such as titles and content categories. ResultsFrom 2016 to 2019, the number of WeChat public account followers increased by 280 000, with the articles accumulating over 8.8 million views. The median (P25, P75) open rate of articles was 5.90% (3.69%, 10.31%), and the median (P25, P75) sharing and forwarding rate was 6.60% (4.25%, 9.17%). Factors such as the use of first- and second-person pronouns, degree adverbs, negative adverbs, explicit viewpoints, and title length all significantly affected the open rate of articles, with OR (95%CI) values of 0.175 (0.041‒0.756), 32.606 (2.350‒452.432), 4.079 (1.093‒15.230), 0.106 (0.028‒0.409), and 1.184 (1.063‒1.319),respectively (all P<0.05). In terms of content, statistical significant differences in dissemination effectiveness were observed across article categories and themes (P<0.05). In terms of article categories, articles related to news hotspots and service information had higher open rates of 9.58% and 14.00%, respectively. These two types of articles also obtained higher sharing and forwarding rates of 7.65% and 9.16%, respectively. In terms of article topics, compared with healthy life and health products, among the top four topics in terms of publication volume, the open rates of articles about infectious diseases and disease-causing biology and immunization programs were higher, accounting for 7.88% and 6.88%, respectively, with no significant difference in sharing and forwarding rates. ConclusionThe "Shanghai CDC" WeChat public account demonstrated good dissemination effectiveness. Enhancing article titles by increasing informational content and degree adverbs (e.g., "highly," "most," and "extremely") and negative adverbs (e.g., "no") can improve dissemination reach. Public health WeChat accounts should incorporate news hotspots or service information in their articles. While maintaining their strengths in disseminating knowledge on infectious diseases and immunization programs, they should also enhance public education in other professional fields within their scope of responsibility to improve the overall dissemination impact of health information.

OBJECTIVE To provide valuable insights for the adjustment of anti-infectious regimens, identification of adverse reactions, and individualized pharmaceutical care in patients with critically severe scrub typhus. METHODS Clinical pharmacists actively participated in the pharmaceutical care process for a patient with severe scrub typhus leading to mixed shock undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Initially, the patient received meropenem (1 g, q12 h, ivdrip), in combination with doxycycline (0.1 g, q12 h, po), which was later switched to meropenem (1 g, q8 h, ivdrip) along with omacycline (100 mg, qd, ivdrip) due to impaired gastrointestinal function. However, as the patient’s condition progressively deteriorated and the infection became uncontrolled, the clinical pharmacists recommended that the clinicians adjust the anti-infective regimen to meropenem (2 g, q8 h, ivdrip) combined with tigecycline (100 mg for first dose; 50 mg, q12 h for maintenance; ivdrip). The clinicians followed the advice of the clinical pharmacists. After treatment, the patient’s symptoms exhibited significant improvement, accompanied by a notable decrease in inflammatory markers, indicating that the infection had been successfully controlled. However, due to continuously increasing bilirubin levels, in order to reduce the risk of drug-induced liver injury, the clinicians changed tigecycline to azithromycin (0.5 g, qd, ivdrip) following the recommendation of the clinical pharmacists. RESULTS Ultimately, metagenomic next-generation sequencing of the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and blood specimens indicated that Orientia tsutsugamushi had been completely eradicated in the patient. CONCLUSIONS Tigecycline may be a viable therapeutic choice for patients with severe scrub typhus. In the context of critically ill patients with scrub typhus, combining tigecycline with azithromycin might potentially enhance the efficacy in eliminating Orientia tsutsugamushi.

Objective To explore the feasibility of applying artificial intelligence (AI) technology in chromosomal aberration (CA) analysis for occupational health surveillance of radiation workers and in biological dose estimation during nuclear emergency responses. Methods Peripheral blood samples from healthy volunteers were irradiated in vitro with X-rays and cobalt-60 (⁶⁰Co) γ rays. Chromosome slides were prepared using an automated harvesting and dropping device. The data training and outcome evaluation of CA analysis was performed on the AI software using chromosome images from occupational medical examination of radiation workers from the current lab or chromosome slides from blood samples irradiated with X-rays. The trained AI software was then used to assist in CA analysis and biological dose estimation among occupational medical examination of radiation workers, with results compared with manual reading and actual exposure doses. Results The trained AI software achieved a CA recognition accuracy of 95.11%. In the occupational health examination of radiation workers, the positive CA detection rate using AI + manual review was 2.25% higher than that in manual reviewing alone. The errors in biological dose estimation for ⁶⁰Co γ rays and X-rays using AI + manual review analysis were 11.86% and 7.33%, respectively, both within the acceptable 20.00% error margin. Conclusion AI + manual review can be effectively applied in CA analysis for occupational health examination and biological dose estimation during nuclear emergencies, significantly improving analysis efficiency.

To investigate the genetic relatedness between carbapenem-resistant A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from patients screened for carbapenem-resistant Among 12 878 patients screened for CRE, 60 (0.47%) were identified with intestinal CRKP colonization. Of these, 6 (10.0%) developed bloodstream infections, with an all-cause mortality rate of 66.7% (4/6) during hospitalization. The predominant strain type among paired isolates was ST11-KL64 producing KPC-2, accounting for 91.7%(11/12) of cases. Except for one patient(with a categorical agreement of 82.6%), colonizing and bloodstream isolates from the same patient showed complete agreement (100% categorical agreement) in antimicrobial susceptibility profiles for all antibiotics except tigecycline. Intraclass correlation coefficients for biofilm formation and siderophore production were both > 0.75 of all paired strains, indicating high phenotypic consistency. Except for one patient, core genome single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis and phylogenetic reconstruction revealed high genetic homology between colonizing and bloodstream isolates from the same patient (SNP difference < 10). Clonal relatedness was also observed among colonizing strains from different departments (SNP difference < 120). Although the intestinal colonization rate of CRKP is low, it poses a high mortality risk once bloodstream infection occurs. The high consistency in antimicrobial resistance profiles, biofilm formation, siderophore production, and genomic homology between colonizing and bloodstream isolates suggests that intestinal colonization is the direct source of subsequent invasive infection. Enhanced early screening, dynamic monitoring, risk-stratified prevention, and optimized intervention strategies are recommended to reduce the risk of CRKP infection and mortality.

Definitive treatment of lung cancer with radiotherapy is challenging, as respiratory motion and anatomical changes can increase the risk of severe off-target effects during radiotherapy. Online adaptive radiotherapy (ART) is an evolving approach that enables timely modification of a treatment plan during the interfraction of radiotherapy, in response to physiologic or anatomic variations, aiming to improve the dose distribution for precise targeting and delivery in lung cancer patients. The effectiveness of online ART depends on the seamless integration of multiple components: sufficient quality of linear accelerator-integrated imaging guidance, deformable image registration, automatic recontouring, and efficient quality assurance and workflow. This review summarizes the present status of online ART for lung cancer, including key technologies, as well as the challenges and areas of active research in this field.

INTRODUCTION:
Lecanemab has shown promise in treating early Alzheimer's disease (AD), but its safety and efficacy in Chinese populations remain unexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and 6-month clinical outcomes of lecanemab in Chinese patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild AD.
METHODS:
In this single-arm, real-world study, participants with MCI due to AD or mild AD received biweekly intravenous lecanemab (10 mg/kg). The study was conducted at Hainan Branch, Ruijin Hospital Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. Patient enrollment and baseline assessments commenced in November 2023. Safety assessments included monitoring for amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) and other adverse events. Clinical and biomarker changes from baseline to 6 months were evaluated using cognitive scales (mini-mental state examination [MMSE], montreal cognitive assessment [MoCA], clinical dementia rating-sum of boxes [CDR-SB]), plasma biomarker analysis, and advanced neuroimaging.
RESULTS:
A total of 64 patients were enrolled in this ongoing real-world study. Safety analysis revealed predominantly mild adverse events, with infusion-related reactions (20.3%, 13/64) being the most common. Of these, 69.2% (9/13) occurred during the initial infusion and 84.6% (11/13) did not recur. ARIA-H (microhemorrhages/superficial siderosis) and ARIA-E (edema/effusion) were observed in 9.4% (6/64) and 3.1% (2/64) of participants, respectively, with only two symptomatic cases (one ARIA-E presenting with headache and one ARIA-H with visual disturbances). After 6 months of treatment, cognitive scores remained stable compared to baseline (MMSE: 22.33 ± 5.58 vs . 21.27 ± 4.30, P = 0.733; MoCA: 16.38 ± 6.67 vs . 15.90 ± 4.78, P = 0.785; CDR-SB: 2.30 ± 1.65 vs . 3.16 ± 1.72, P = 0.357), while significantly increasing plasma amyloid-β 42 (Aβ42) (+21.42%) and Aβ40 (+23.53%) levels compared to baseline.
CONCLUSIONS:
Lecanemab demonstrated a favorable safety profile in Chinese patients with early AD. Cognitive stability and biomarker changes over 6 months suggest potential efficacy, though high dropout rates and absence of a control group warrant cautious interpretation. These findings provide preliminary real-world evidence for lecanemab's use in China, supporting further investigation in larger controlled studies.

OBJECTIVES:
To develop a risk prediction model for the transformation of chronic atrophic gastritis to high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGIN) based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome patterns.
METHODS:
Clinical data of 201 chronic atrophic gastritis patients who visited the Second People's Hospital Affiliated to Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Dong'erhuan Branch between January 2022 and March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 32 patients with HGIN (HGIN group) and 169 patients with moderate and severe chronic atrophic gastritis (non-HGIN group). The information of demographic characteristics, dietary habits, lifestyle factors, social and psychosocial factors, family history of tumors, medical history and comorbidities, long-term medication, endoscopic findings, histopathological examination results, as well as TCM syndrome types were collected. Potential HGIN risk factors were screened using LASSO regression, and the significant risk factors for establishing an HGIN risk prediction model were identified using logistic regression analysis. The final model was visually presented using a nomogram, and its diagnostic performance was evaluated through receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.
RESULTS:
Spleen-stomach Qi deficiency was the most common TCM syndrome in both HGIN and non-HGIN groups. LASSO-logistic regression model analysis showed that heavy alcohol consumption (X1), syndrome of static blood in stomach collaterals (X2), low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (X3), high-salt diet (X4), and age (X5) were independent risk factors related to the occurrence of HGIN, and the predictive model was ln[P/(1-P)]=2.159X1+2.230X2+1.664X3+2.070X4+0.122X5- 11.096. The model demonstrated good discriminative ability, calibration, and goodness-of-fit, with area under the curve values of 0.940 and 0.891 in the training and validation sets, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS
The TCM syndrome of static blood in stomach collaterals shows correlation with the transformation from chronic atrophic gastritis to HGIN. The HGIN prediction model based on TCM syndrome patterns developed in the study demonstrates potential value in clinical application.

Journal of Central South University(Medical Sciences) 2025;50(2):227-236
OBJECTIVES:
In recent years, the incidence and detection rate of pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) have increased significantly. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) plays an indispensable role in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of PCLs. However, evidence comparing the diagnostic performance of EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) and fine-needle biopsy (FNB) remains limited. This study aims to compare the diagnostic yield, adequacy of tissue acquisition, and safety between EUS-FNA and EUS-FNB in evaluating PCLs to inform clinical practice.
METHODS:
A retrospective review was conducted on patients with PCLs who underwent either EUS-FNA or EUS-FNB between January 2014 and August 2021. The diagnostic yield, tissue acquisition adequacy, and incidence of adverse events were compared between the 2 groups.
RESULTS:
A total of 90 patients with PCLs were included (52 in the FNA group and 38 in the FNB group). The diagnostic yield was similar between the FNA and FNB groups (94.2% vs 94.7%, P>0.05). The adequacy of tissue acquisition was 71.2% in the FNA group and 81.6% in the FNB group (P>0.05). No statistically significant difference was observed in the incidence of adverse events between the 2 groups (P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
Both EUS-FNA and EUS-FNB demonstrate equally high diagnostic yields and tissue adequacy in PCLs, with excellent safety profiles. Both methods are safe and effective diagnostic tools for evaluating PCLs.

Objective:To observe and analyze the levels of vitamin D(VD) and their influencing factors in children undergoing adenoidectomy and/or tonsillectomy. Methods:A total of 147 children who received adenoidectomy and/or tonsillectomy in our hospital from November 2018 to March 2019 were selected as the experimental groups, gender and age matched 147 healthy children of the same period were selected as the control group. The differences of VD levels between the two groups were compared, the factors affecting VD levels were investigated, and patients with VD deficiency/insufficiency in the experimental groups were followed up postoperatively. Results:The VD levels of the experimental groups were(19.6±6.6) ng/mL and those of the control groups were (22.5±6.5)ng/mL, which was significantly different (P<0.01). The experimental groups were divided into inflammation groups and Sleeping disorder breathing(SDB)groups. The VD levels of the two groups were (19.1±6.7)ng/mL and (21.9±6.4)ng/mL, which was significantly different (P<0.05). Regression analysis showed that VD levels were negatively correlated with age, body mass index (BMI), adenoid hypertrophy, tonsil hypertrophy and Anti-streptolysin O(ASO)levels (P<0.05). VD values were remeasured one year postoperatively in 23 of 72 children in the VD deficiency/deficiency groups, and there was a statistically significant difference between preoperative and postoperative VD values[(14.3±3.9)ng/mL and (17.1±5.5) ng/mL, respectively, P<0.05]. There was a significant difference in postoperative VD value between the inflammation groups and the SDB groups[ (15.6±5.9) ng/mL and (20.5±2.1) ng/mL, respectively, P<0.05]. Conclusion:Children who underwent adenoidectomy and/or tonsillectomy had lower VD levels than healthy children.VD levels decreased with increasing age,BMI and ASO values,and associated with the size of adenoid and tonsil. Preoperative VD levels were lower in the inflammation groups, adenoidectomy and/or tonsillectomy improved VD deficiency/insufficiency status, and postoperative elevation of VD levels was more pronounced in the SDB groups.
