Objective To compare and analyze the changes in the use of lung cancer therapeutic drugs before and after the national initiation of health insurance negotiations, and to study the impact of a series of policies on the use of lung cancer drugs. Methods Descriptive statistical methods were used analyze the basic situation of lung cancer patients and the changes of corresponding therapeutic drugs in Peking University People's Hospital from 2014 to 2020, as well as to the hospital procurement data of lung cancer therapeutic drugs in the database of the Chinese Medicine Economic Information. Results From 2014 to 2020, the total cost per capita of lung cancer patients showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, increasing before the national drug negotiation and gradually decreasing after the negotiation. After 2017, the use of small ATC categories such as VEGF/VEGFR inhibitors and EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors increased significantly, along with a rise in the number of monoclonal antibody varieties. The DDDs of osimertinib, anlotinib, alectinib, crizotinib and other drugs in the medical insurance list increased significantly, and the average daily cost decreased significantly. Conclusion The number of hospitalization days for lung cancer patients had continued to shorten in recent years, and the structure of drug use had changed significantly. The adjustment of the medical insurance catalog had led to more innovative lung cancer drugs showing the trend of volume up and price down.

Aim To investigate the effects of circ_0071653 targeting miR-197-3p on the proliferation and metastasis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ES-CC)cells.Methods The circular structure of circ_0071653 was confirmed by Sanger sequencing and ribo-nuclease R tolerance experiments.Real-time quantita-tive polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR)and tissue fluorescence in situ hybridization assay were performed to detect the circ_0071653 expression levels and ana-lyze its clinical relevance.Cell fluorescence in situ hy-bridization and nuclear cytoplasmic separation assays were used to verify the subcellular localization of circ_0071653 and miR-197-3p.Bioinformatics analysis,dual luciferase reporter gene and RT-qPCR assays were conducted to validate the interactions between circ_0071653 and miR-197-3p.Moreover,the cell counting Kit-8(CCK-8),colony formation,scratch,Transwell invasion and subcutaneous tumor formation in nude mice assays were used to evaluate the effects of circ_0071653 and miR-197-3p on cell viability,prolifera-tion,migration,and invasion and in vivo tumorigenesi-sability.Results Circ_0071653 was a circular RNA,which showed high expression in ESCC cell lines and tissues.The expression of circ_0071653 was signifi-cantly correlated with lymph node metastasis and clini-cal stage of ESCC patients.Circ_0071653 and miR-197-3p were mainly localized in the cytoplasm.The databases predict that circ_0071653 had complementa-ry binding sites with miR-197-3p,and their binding were confirmed by dual luciferase reporter geneand RT-qPCR assays.Moreover,the activity,proliferation,migration,invasion and in vivo tumorigenesis abilities of ESCC cells were significantly reduced after knocking down circ_0071653,and this effect could be reversed by downregulating the expression of miR-197-3p.Con-clusions Circ_0071653 promotes the malignant pro-gression of ESCC through targeted regulation of miR-197-3p.

Objective:To investigate the drug resistance gene characteristics, plasmid characteristics and genome tracing of Shigella sonnei causing a bacillary dysentery outbreak in Shandong Province. Methods:Sixty-five Shigella sonnei strains isolated from a 2021 outbreak in a county of Shandong Province were analyzed using antimicrobial susceptibility testing, whole genome sequencing (WGS), characterization of resistance and virulence genes, plasmid profiling, core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST), and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis. Results:All isolates had the same resistance phenotype and genotypes and were multidrug-resistant ESBL-producing Shigella sonnei, carrying important virulence genes. Plasmid analysis revealed a conserved genetic arrangement, pil( M/ N/ O2/ P)-tra( F/ H/ J/ K/ N/ O/ P/ Q)-IS Ecp1- blaCTX-M-14-Tn 903- yub( J/ I/ F/ G/ E/ D), and shared across strains from diverse regions and bacterial species. The cgMLST and SNP analyses demonstrated concordant clustering, with all 65 outbreak-related strains forming a single cluster alongside human-derived strains from Guangxi. Conclusion:The ESBL-producing Shigella sonnei responsible for the outbreak shares a homologous relationship with Guangxi human-derived strains, and the detected resistance plasmids and virulence genes underscore the need to strengthen drug resistance surveillance and genome tracing.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a widespread Gram-negative bacterium in Asia,and the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains has sig-nificantly complicated treatment strategies.Traditional Chinese medicine,which has made remarkable contributions to public health in Asia for thousands of years,may offer promising antibacterial strategies.Chinese herbal medicine(CHM),the primary therapeutic modality of traditional Chinese medicine,exhibits antimicrobial activity,modulates the immune system,and has the potential to reverse antibiotic resistance through various mechanisms.However,no review has comprehensively summarized the efficacy and underlying mechanisms of CHM in treating antibiotic-resistant K.pneumoniae infections.In this study,we conducted a comprehen-sive review of relevant literatures published up to 2025,using the keywords"Klebsiella pneumoniae,""traditional Chinese medicine,"and"Chinese herbal medicine"across databases including PubMed,Web of Science,ScienceDirect,and China National Knowledge Infrastructure.This review first introduces the taxonomy,virulence factors,and antibiotic resistance profile of K.pneumoniae.We then summarize CHM formulas,extracts,and active ingredients with reported antibacterial effects against K.pneumoniae,including their minimum inhibitory concentrations and mechanisms.Additionally,we highlight CHM interventions that enhance host immune responses and alleviate symptoms associated with K.pneumoniae infections.Furthermore,combining CHM with antibiotics rep-resents a novel strategy to enhance antibiotic efficacy and combat resistance.We therefore summarize the synergistic effects and mechanisms of CHM-antibiotic combinations.Overall,this review underscores the multifaceted therapeutic potential of CHM and its active ingredients,including direct antibacterial action,immune modulation,and synergy with conventional antibiotics,providing an integrative approach to address the global challenge of antimicrobial resistance.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of lumbar spondylolysis (LS) and the proportion of spondylolytic spondylolisthesis (SS) in China, and to evaluate the musculoskeletal status of patients with LS and SS. METHODS: Spine Computed Tomography (CT) images were collected from community populations aged 40 and above in a nationwide multi-center project. LS was diagnosed, and SS was graded by an experienced radiologist. Bone mineral density (BMD) and paraspinal muscle parameters were quantified based on CT images. RESULTS: One hundred and seventeen patients of a total of 3,317 individuals were diagnosed with LS, corresponding to a prevalence rate of 3.53%. 63 of the 1,214 males (5.18%) and 54 of the 2,103 females (2.57%) were diagnosed with LS. SS occurred in 64/121 vertebrae (52.89%). BMD was not associated with LS ( P = 0.341). The L5 extensor paraspinal muscle density was higher in the LS group than in the non-LS group. In the LS group, patients with SS had a smaller L5 paraspinal extensor muscle cross-sectional area than those without SS ( P = 0.003). CONCLUSION The prevalence of LS in Chinese adults was 3.53%, with prevalence rates of 5.18% in males and 2.57% in females. Patients with LS have higher muscle density, whereas those with SS have smaller muscle cross-sectional areas at the L5 level.

OBJECTIVE: Recombination events are common and serve as the primary driving force of diverse human adenovirus (HAdV), particularly in children with acute respiratory tract infections (ARIs). Therefore, continual monitoring of these events is essential for effective viral surveillance and control. METHODS: Respiratory specimens were collected from children with ARIs between January 2022 and December 2023. The penton base, hexon, and fiber genes were amplified from HAdV-positive specimens and sequenced to determine the virus type. In cases with inconsistent typing results, genes were cloned into the pGEM-T vector to detect recombination events. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) was performed to characterize the recombinant HAdV genomes. RESULTS: Among 6,771 specimens, 277 (4.09%, 277/6,771) were positvie for HAdV, of which 157 (56.68%, 157/277) were successfully typed, with HAdV-B3 being the dominant type (91.08%, 143/157), and 14 (5.05%, 14/277) exhibited inconsistent typing results, six of which belonged to species B. The penton base genes of these six specimens were classified as HAdV-B7, whereas their hexon and fiber genes were classified as HAdV-B3, resulting in a recombinant genotype designated P7H3F3, which closely resembled HAdV-B114. Additionally, a partial gene encoding L1 52/55 kD was identified, which originated from HAdV-B16. CONCLUSION A novel recombinant, P7H3F3, was identified, containing sequences derived from HAdV-B3 and HAdV-B7, which is similar to HAdV-B114, along with additional sequences from HAdV-B16.

The MXene/MF microspheres were prepared by coating MXene nanosheets on melamine formaldehyde(MF)resin microspheres.Co(NO3)2 was adsorbed on the surface of the microspheres by impregnation,and then calcined at high temperature in an argon atmosphere.MF pyrolysis generated reducing gases such as CO and NH3,reducing Co2+to elemental Co,which was then used as a catalyst for in situ growth of carbon nanotube(CNT)through chemical vapor deposition(CVD),forming MXene-Co-CNT microspheres(MXene-Co-CNT MS).During this process,the pyrolysis of MF microspheres had dual effects.On one hand,the template was sacrificed to produce an internal hollow structure,and on the other hand,the generated gas worked as carbon source to generate CNT,forming an external sea urchin-like structure.Both of them promoted the formation of a novel structure,which combined the advantages of large specific surface area and good conductivity,thus possessing excellent electrocatalytic activity.The MXene-Co-CNT MS was modified on glassy carbon electrode(GCE)and further used in highly sensitive detection of nitroaromatic compounds(NACs).The detection limits of MXene-Co-CNT MS/GCE for 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene(TNT),1,3,5-nitrobenzamide(TNB),2,4-dinitrotoluene(DNT),1,3-dinitrobenzene(DNB),1-Cl-2,4-dinitrotoluene(Cl-DNB),and 4-nitrophenol(4-NP)were 26.84,31.60,35.03,54.14,43.86 and 28.67 nmol/L,respectively.It also had excellent anti-interference ability,and was used to detect NACs in environmental water samples accurately.
