Objective:To investigate the potential causes of the rising epidemic of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) in Weifang, Shandong province.Methods:The temporal trend of SFTS epidemic was segmented using Joinpoint regression analysis. Changes in epidemiological characteristics across different periods were compared, and correlation analysis was conducted to identify meteorological factors influencing the epidemic trend.Results:Joinpoint regression revealed two distinct periods for SFTS epidemic in Weifang: 2015-2021 and 2022-2024. No significant trend was observed during 2015-2021 ( P=0.634), while a sharp annual increase of 46.69% occurred from 2022 to 2024 ( P=0.006). Spatial autocorrelation analysis demonstrated a global Moran’s I of 0.42 ( Z=8.55, P<0.001) for 2015-2021, with 15 high-high clustering areas identified. For 2022-2024, the global Moran’s I decreased to 0.37 ( Z=7.31, P<0.001), with 13 high-high clusters, including newly emerging hotspots in Anqiu and Zhucheng in the southeastern region. High-risk populations remained individuals aged ≥50 in mountainous and hilly areas, with a marked rise in incidence in these groups. The male-to-female ratio of cases was higher in plain areas than in mountainous/hilly regions. Autumn (September-November) temperatures from the preceding year showed a positive correlation with annual case numbers ( P=0.004, r=0.82). The linear regression expression is y=40.61x-580.78 (y is the annual incidence, and x is the average daily temperature of last autumn). Conclusions:The SFTS epidemic in Weifang is showing a rising trend. There is a linear correlation between the temperature of the previous autumn and the scale of SFTS epidemic in the following year. This correlation allows for predicting the subsequent year′s epidemic, thereby enabling early warning of SFTS.

Clinical data of two patients with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) initially presenting as Addison′s disease were collected from the Department of Endocrinology, First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital. Relevant medical history, clinical features, laboratory tests, and genetic results were analyzed. The two male patients, aged 7 years (case 1) and 15 years (case 2), initially presented with generalized skin hyperpigmentation, without any family history of similar disorders. Both had normal growth and development, and adrenal CT and brain MRI revealed no significant abnormalities. Elevated very long-chain fatty acid (VLCFA) levels were detected. Genetic analyses identified a maternally inherited missense mutation (c.830G>A, p.Gly277Glu) in the ATP-binding cassette subfamily D member 1 (ABCD1) gene in case 1, and a missense mutation (c.1499G>T, p.Gly500Val) in case 2. Protein structural predictions indicated both mutations as potentially damaging or damaging, and both were classified as likely pathogenic according to American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) criteria (PM1/PM2/PP3_Moderate and PM2/PP3_Moderate/PM6, respectively), supporting their correlation with the clinical phenotype. Clinicians should maintain vigilance for X-ALD in male patients presenting with Addison′s disease, and combined VLCFA and genetic testing can effectively prevent misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis.

Objective:To explore the development process of family resilience in children with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) and to understand the long-term challenges and coping strategies that CPT imposes on the families of affected children.Methods:This study combined purposive sampling and theoretical sampling. It selected 15 caregivers of CPT children from Hunan Children's Hospital for semi-structured interviews. Grounded theory was used to analyze the interview results.Results:The development of family resilience in CPT children's families occurred in three stages: pre-formation stage, formation stage, and maintenance stage. In facing negative emotions and family challenges, caregivers first needed to rebuild their inner beliefs. They then adjusted the family organizational model, adopted open and inclusive communication, and actively sought external support to foster the development of family resilience. Ultimately, caregivers were able to self-regulate their emotions, accumulate caregiving experience, and begin to shift their life perspective.Conclusions:The development of family resilience in CPT children's families is a dynamic, multi-stage process with interactions of multiple factors. Healthcare providers should offer professional health guidance according to the different stages of family development. Moreover, the government and schools should increase their attention and support, working together with families and healthcare providers to enhance family resilience for children with CPT.

Objective To analyze the efficacy,safety,and survival of laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC)combined with lymph node dissection in the treatment of elderly primary gallbladder cancer.Methods 59 elderly patients with primary gallbladder cancer who underwent open cholecystectomy combined with lymph node dissection from January 2018 to July 2021 were selected as the control group,and 59 elderly patients with primary gallbladder cancer who underwent LC combined with lymph node dissection were selected as the study group.The clinical efficacy,perioperative indicators,and T cell subsets were compared between the two groups CD4+、CD4+/CD8+]、Quality of life(SF-36).Results The difference in recent treatment effectiveness between the research group and the control group is relatively small,(94.0％VS 72.5％,x2=0.209,P=0.648).The time required for lymph node dissection was(39.27±5.63)min and surgery time was(235.16±31.37)min in the study group,which was longer than that in the control group[(35.61±4.75)min and(194.59±30.82)min(P＜0.05).In the study group,the intraoperative bleeding volume was(32.63±5.42)ml and first exhaust time was(3.18±0.72)d,gastrointestinal function recovery time was(3.98±1.04)d,and hospitalization time was(6.24±1.25)d,which were shorter than those in the control group[(61.27±7.85)ml,(4.02±0.83)d,(4.65±1.18)d,(10.41±2.18)d,respectively,(P＜0.05)].After surgery,the levels of CD3+(16.52％±5.24％),CD4+(15.79％±3.83％),and CD4+/CD8+(0.47％±0.11％)in the study group were higher than those in the control group(13.74％±4.30％,10.83％±3.14％and 0.29％±0.05％)(P＜0.05).One month after surgery,the total quality of life score(SF-36)of the observation group(90.86±3.75)was higher than that of the control group(86.85±3.14)(P＜0.05).The incidence of complications in the study group was lower than that in the control group(7.01％VS 23.73％,x2=4.627,P＜0.05).The median survival time of the study group was(13.8±1.50)months,which was significantly higher than that of the control group[(12.5±1.25)months,P＞0.05].Conclusion LC combined with lymph node dissection is a safe and effective treatment for elderly primary gallbladder cancer,without affecting long-term prognosis and survival.

Objective:To investigate the effect and regulation of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) on islets function and NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) and autophagy in type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) mice.Methods:Experimental study. Twenty, 8-week-old, male C57BL/6J mice were selected and divided into a normal control group ( n=5) and a high-fat feeding modeling group ( n=15). The model of T2DM was established by high-fat feeding combined with intraperitoneal injection of low-dose streptozotocin. After successful modeling, those mice were divided into a diabetes group ( n=7) and a UC-MSCs treatment group ( n=7). The UC-MSCs treatment group was given UC-MSCs (1×10 6/0.2 ml phosphate buffer solution) by tail vein infusion once a week for a total of 4 weeks; the diabetes group was injected with the same amount of normal saline, and the normal control group was not treated. One week after the treatment, mice underwent intraperitoneal glucose tolerance tests and intraperitoneal insulin tolerance tests, and then the mice were sacrificed to obtain pancreatic tissue to detect the expressions of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and pancreatic and duodenal homeobox 1 (PDX-1) by immunofluorescence. The bone marrow-derived macrophages were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide and adenosine triphosphate (experimental group) in vitro, then co-cultured with UC-MSCs for 24 h (treatment group). After the culture, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the secretion level of IL-1β in the supernatant, and immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the expression of NLRP3 inflammasome, and related autophagy proteins. Statistical analysis was performed using unpaired one-way analysis of variance, repeated measure analysis of variance. Results:In vivo experiments showed that compared with the diabetes group, the UC-MSCs treatment group partially repaired islet structure, improved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity (all P<0.05), and the expression of PDX-1 increased and IL-1β decreased in islets under confocal microscopy. In vitro experiments showed that compared with the experimental group, the level of IL-1β secreted by macrophages in the treatment group was decreased [(85.9±74.6) pg/ml vs. (883.4±446.2) pg/ml, P=0.001], the expression of NLRP3 inflammasome and autophagy-related protein P62 was decreased, and the expressions of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3β (LC3) and autophagy effector Beclin-1 were increased under confocal microscopy. Conclusions:UC-MSCs can reduce the level of pancreatic inflammation in T2DM mice, preserving pancreatic function. This might be associated with the ability of UC-MSCs to inhibit the activity of NLRP3 inflammasomes in macrophages and enhance autophagy levels.

OBJECTIVE The N-methyl-D-aspartate(NMDA)receptor has been shown to be strongly associ-ated with rapid antidepressant effects.GW043 is a com-pound with a novel structure that we designed and syn-thesized to act on the NMDA receptor(NMDAR).METH-ODS In this study,we first confirmed the target of GW043 using a receptor binding assay.We observed the effect of GW043 on NMDAR currents in vivo and in vitro assays using a membrane clamp technique with a view to characterizing the function of GW043.We investi-gated the antidepressant effect of GW043 in rodent behavioral models such as FST,TST and CUMS.Fur-thermore,we explored the mechanism of GW043 onset using Western blotting,BrdU staining,Golgi staining and electrophysiological techniques.RESULTS GW043 interacts with high affinity only at the NMDAR.Electro-physiological studies have indicated that GW043 is a par-tial agonist of NMDAR.Meanwhile,behavioral experi-ments were conducted to confirm the antidepressant effect of GW043 in rodents.The mechanism study found that GW043 regulate synaptic plasticity through LTP and BDNF/mTOR pathways and increase the number of new-born neurons to cause antidepressant effects.GW043,a partial agonist of NMDAR,reversed depression-like behav-ior in rats by modulating synaptic plasticity,suggesting an antidepressant effect.CONCLUSION The results suggest that GW043 is a partial agonist of NMDA recep-tors and has significant antidepressant effects.
