Objective To analyze the MRI imaging characteristics of brain metastases in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)with different epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)mutation types and programmed cell death-ligand 1(PD-L1)expression,and to provide imaging diagnostic support for patients who can't undergo genetic and immunohistochemical testing.Methods A retrospec-tive selection was performed in 88 patients diagnosed with brain metastases of NSCLC,all patients were divided into EGFR mutation group and wild group according to the results of genetic testing,and patients with EGFR mutation group were divided into EGFR mutation with PD-L1 expression positive group and EGFR mutation with PD-L1 expression negative group according to whether the expression of PD-L1 was≥1%.The clinical data and MR image characteristics of brain metastases were compared in EGFR mutation group and wild group,as well as in EGFR mutation with PD-L1 expression positive group and EGFR mutation with PD-L1 expres-sion negative group.Results There were statistically significant differences in smoking history and intracranial symptoms between EGFR mutation group and wild group(P<0.05).The edema diameter,edema index and enhancement ratio of EGFR mutation group and wild group were(0.67±1.10)cm,0.39±0.54,0.32±0.17 and(1.57±2.04)cm,1.05±1.21,0.53±0.27,respectively,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).There were 43 cases and 23 cases in EGFR mutation group and wild group with ≥2 metastases,respectively,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with>60 years old,there were 15 patients(75%)of EGFR mutation with PD-L1 expres-sion positive in≤60 years old(P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with EGFR wild patients,patients with EGFR mutation have more brain metastases(≥2),milder enhancement,less peritumoral edema,and fewer intracranial symptoms at initial diagnosis,and patients with EGFR mutation aged≤60 years are more likely to have PD-L1 expression positive.

Objective:
To investigate the association between plant-based dietary patterns and gestational weight gain (GWG) among pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), so as to provide the evidence for guiding the reasonable diet during pregnancy.
Methods:
GDM pregnant women who participated in the WeBirth project in Hangzhou Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital were selected. Maternal age and pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) were collected. The Chinese version of Pregnancy Physical Activity questionnaire was used to assess the daily activity equivalent. The food frequency questionnaire was used to collect the frequency and amount of food intake in the last month before enrollment. The overall plant-based diet index (PDI), healthy plant-based diet index (HPDI), and unhealthy plant-based diet index (UPDI) were constructed based on food intake and grouped by quartiles. Multiple linear regression models were used to analyze the association between plant-based dietary patterns and GWG.
Results:
A total of 1 943 pregnant women with GDM, with a median age of 30.91 (interquartile range, 4.92) years. The median BMI of pre-pregnancy was 21.51 (interquartile range, 4.06) kg/m2. The medians of PDI, HPDI and UPDI were 32.42 (interquartile range, 4.60), 32.48 (interquartile range, 4.41) and 32.40 (interquartile range, 5.36), respectively. The median of GWG was 11.30 (interquartile range, 4.52) kg. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that PDI (Q3 group, β=0.674, 95%CI: 0.064-1.285; Q4 group, β=0.702, 95%CI: 0.098-1.306), UPDI (Q3 group, β=1.332, 95%CI: 0.771-1.894; Q4 group, β=1.115, 95%CI: 0.550-1.681) were positively associated with GWG after adjusting for age, pre-pregnancy BMI, daily activity equivalent and daily energy intake. No significant association was found between HPDI and GWG (all P>0.05).
Conclusion
UPDI was associated with a higher risk of GWG in pregnant women with GDM.

OBJECTIVES:
Near vision loss (NVL) is one of the leading causes of visual impairment worldwide, exerting a profound impact on individual quality of life and socio-economic development. This study aims to analyze the burden of NVL in China by sex and age groups from 1990 to 2021 and to project trends over the next 15 years.
METHODS:
Using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 database, we conducted descriptive analyses of NVL prevalence in China, calculated age-standardized prevalence rates (ASPR) and age-standardized disability-adjusted life years rates (ASDR) to compare burden differences between sexes and age groups, and applied an autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model to predict NVL trends for the next 15 years. The model selection was based on best-fit criteria to ensure reliable projections.
RESULTS:
From 1990 to 2021, China's ASPR of NVL rose from 10 096.24/100 000 to 15 624.54/100 000, and ASDR increased from 101.75/100 000 to 158.75/100 000. In 2021, ASPR (16 551.70/100 000) and ASDR (167.69/100 000) were higher among females than males (14 686.21/100 000 and 149.76/100 000, respectively). China ranked highest globally in both NVL cases and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), with female burden significantly exceeding male burden. Projections indicated this trend and sex gap will persist until 2036. Compared with 1990, the prevalence cases and DALYs increased by 239.20% and 238.82%, respectively in 2021, with the highest burden among females and the 55-59 age group. The ARIMA model predicted continued increases in prevalence and DALYs by 2036, with females maintaining a higher burden than males.
CONCLUSIONS
This study reveals a marked increase in the NVL burden in China and predicts continued growth in the coming years. Public health policies should prioritize NVL prevention and control, with special attention to women and middle-aged populations to mitigate long-term societal and health impacts.

Objective To compare the incidence of catheter-related venous thrombosis between midline catheters and peripherally inserted central catheters.Methods Randomized controlled trials and cohort studies on the incidence of venous thrombosis associated with midline catheters and PICC catheters were searched from CNKI,Wanfang database,VIP database,Web of Science,PubMed,Embase and Cochrane Library from inception to December 31,2022.Review Manager 5.4 software and Stata 14.0 software were used to analyse and describe the outcome indicators.Results A total of 16 studies were included,including 12 cohort studies and 4 randomized controlled studies,with 21853 subjects.The results of the Meta-analysis showed that the incidence of catheter-related venous thrombosis per thousand catheter days of midline catheters was statistically significant compared with PICC[RR=2.74,95%CI(1.21,6.21),P=0.016].There was no significant difference in the incidence of catheter-related venous thrombosis compared with PICC[RR=0.85,95%CI=(0.70,1.03),P=0.101].In the subgroups,the incidence of superficial vein thrombosis in the midline catheter was significantly different from that in the PICC[RR=2.36,95%C/=(1.56,3.58),P<0.001].Conclusion The current evidence shows that the incidence rate of catheter-related venous thrombosis per thousand catheter days and superficial vein thrombosis was higher for midline catheters than PICCs.Therefore,in clinical practice,vascular access devices should be selected reasonably,and the occurrence and development of catheter-related superficial venous thrombosis should be paid attention to,and clinical screening should be effectively carried out on the basis of a full evaluation.
