Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of acute respiratory infections(ARIs)during the autumn-winter season in Beijing,providing evidence for the prevention,control,diagnosis,and treatment of ARIs.Methods A convenience sampling method was employed,enrolling patients who visited Peking Union Medical College Hospital(PUMCH)between September 2023 and February 2024 due to ARIs.Na-sopharyngeal swabs were collected,and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect six common respiratory pathogens[influenza A virus(FluA),influenza B virus(FluB),human rhinovirus(HRV),Myco-plasma pneumoniae(MP),respiratory syncytial virus(RSV),and adenovirus(ADV)],as well as SARS-CoV-2 infection.The distribution patterns of pathogen infections were analyzed.Results A total of 5556 eligible patients were included.The overall positivity rate for the six common respiratory pathogens was 63.7％,with sin-gle-pathogen positivity at 54.0％,dual-pathogen positivity at 8.9％,and triple or more pathogen positivity at 0.7％.The predominant pathogens detected were FluA(16.1％)and RSV(15.7％),followed by ADV(11.1％),MP(11.1％),HRV(10.0％),and FluB(10.0％).No significant difference in overall pathogen positivity was observed between genders.However,significant differences were found between autumn and winter(x2=34.617,P＜0.001)and among pediatric,young/middle-aged,and elderly patients(x2=422.38,P＜0.001).Specifically,MP(x2=8.647,P=0.003),FluA(x2=131.932,P＜0.001),and HRV(x2=174.199,P＜0.001)exhibited significantly higher positivity rates in autumn than in winter,whereas FluB was more prevalent in winter(x2=287.894,P＜0.001).In pediatric patients,MP,RSV,HRV,and ADV positivity rates were significantly higher than in young/middle-aged and elderly patients(all P＜0.001),whereas FluB was more common in young/middle-aged patients(both P＜0.001).The positivity rates of the six common respiratory pathogens significantly declined during the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic period,exhibiting an asynchronous seasonal pattern.Conclusions The prevalence of respiratory pathogens in Beijing is associated with age and season.Tar-geted preventive measures should be implemented in different seasons and for key populations.

Objective To explore the predictive value of electroencephalograph(EEG)quantitative parameters combined with serum microRNAs(miR)-146a-5p in cognitive dysfunction in patients with Alzheimer's disease(AD).Methods A total of 96 AD patients diagnosed in Shaoxing Seventh People's Hospital from March 2022 to May 2024 were selected to assess whether the patients had cognitive impairment according to the Montreal cognitive scale(MoCA)score,and 40 patients with cognitive impairment were set as occurrence group(MoCA score＜26points).A total of 56 patients with normal cognitive function were set as non-developing group(MoCA score ≥ 26points).Quantitative electroencephalography(EEG)parameters and serum miR-146a-5p were compared between the two groups.The risk factors of cognitive dysfunction in AD patients were analyzed by Logistic regression,and receiver operating characteristic curve was used to predict efficacy of EEG quantitative parameters and serum miR-146a-5p on cognitive dysfunction in AD patients.Results The δ frequency band,θ frequency band,and serum miR-146a-5p levels were lower in occurrence group than those in non occurrence group,while β frequency band and α frequency band were higher in occurrence group than in those non occurrence group(P＜0.05).δ frequency band,θ frequency band,miR-146a-5p,age,and years of education were risk factors for cognitive dysfunction in AD patients(P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of predicting cognitive impairment in AD patients using the combination of δ frequency band,θ frequency band,βfrequency band,α frequency band,and miR-146a-5p was 0.908.The sensitivity of predicting cognitive impairment in AD patients using the combination of delta frequency band,δ frequency band,β frequency band,α frequency band,and miR-146a-5p was higher than that of individual detection(P＜0.05).Conclusion The decrease in δ frequency band,θ frequency band,serum miR-146a-5p,and the increase in β frequency band and α frequency are closely related to the occurrence of cognitive dysfunction in AD patients.Combined detection of EEG of electroencephalogram and serum miR-146a-5p can improve the predictive efficiency of cognitive dysfunction.

Thyroid nodules are a common endocrine disorder with complex pathogenesis that remains incompletely understood. In recent years, studies have revealed that the gut microbiota may play a critical role in the occurrence and progression of thyroid nodules. This review systematically summarizes the current research progress on the association between gut microbiota and thyroid nodules, with a particular focus on potential mechanisms through which gut dysbiosis influences nodule formation via immune regulation, metabolic pathways, and gut barrier function. Evidence suggests that reduced gut microbial diversity, decreased abundance of specific beneficial bacteria, and an increased proportion of pro-inflammatory bacteria may contribute to a pro-inflammatory environment and metabolic disturbances associated with thyroid nodules. Furthermore, this review explores the potential of interventions such as probiotics, prebiotics, dietary modifications, and fecal microbiota transplantation in modulating gut microbiota and improving thyroid nodule outcomes. Although direct clinical evidence is currently lacking, the regulation of gut microbiota has emerged as a promising direction for the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid nodules, demonstrating significant clinical potential. Future efforts should focus on advancing basic and clinical research strategies to facilitate the translational application of findings in this field.

Objective:To analyze the current situation and influencing factors of information need for cardiac rehabilitation of urban and rural patients with coronary heart disease, and explore the inequality of information need for cardiac rehabilitation among urban and rural patients with coronary heart disease and its influencing factors, so as to provide a scientific reference for formulating targeted cardiac rehabilitation programs.Methods:From June to July 2024, hospitalized patients with coronary heart disease from a Class A tertiary hospital in Suzhou City were selected by convenience sampling as the study subjects. A General Information Questionnaire, Information Need in Cardiac Rehabilitation Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Health Literacy Management Scale, and Coronary Artery Disease Self-Management Scale were used to conduct a questionnaire survey. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of the cardiac rehabilitation information needs and the oaxaca-blinder model was used to analyze the causes of unequal information needs in urban and rural patients.Results:A total of 254 hospitalized patients with coronary heart disease who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were surveyed, included 127 males and 127 females, 182 of them were aged 60 years or older. The total cardiac rehabilitation information needs score of rural and urban patients with coronary heart disease were 168.00 (115.50, 255.00) and 213.00 (132.00, 255.00), respectively, the difference was significant ( U = 5 389.50, P<0.05). Multiple regression analysis showed that health literacy ( β = 0.871, P<0.05) was the influencing factor of cardiac rehabilitation information needs of rural coronary heart disease patients, and depression ( β = 0.719, P<0.05) and living status ( β = -0.186, P<0.05) was the influencing factor of cardiac rehabilitation information needs of urban coronary heart disease patients. Average monthly household income per capita (C = 14.50%) and health literacy (C = 88.30%) were the main causes of the difference in cardiac rehabilitation information needs between urban and rural patients with coronary heart disease. Conclusions:The information demand for cardiac rehabilitation of patients with coronary heart disease in rural area is lower than that in urban areas in Suzhou, mainly due to health literacy and monthly income. It is recommended to narrow the urban-rural gap by improving rural health literacy, optimizing medical insurance policies, and promoting a multi-level rehabilitation service network.

OBJECTIVE To understand the current management status of the special campaign for enhancing the pathogen detection rate before antimicrobial therapy in hospitalized patients in China,analyze identified issues dur-ing implementation,and propose improvement suggestions.METHOD A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect data from medical institutions participating in the special campaign within the region from May to Jul.2024,covering aspects such as quality control management,coordination mechanisms,data sources,indicator connotations and existing issues.RESULTS Variations were observed among medical institutions in the manage-ment of pathogen detection rates,primarily reflected in inconsistent usage of detection rate indicators,varying im-plementation levels of quality control measures and differences in multi-departmental participation.Additionally,discrepancies in data sources,statistical methods and interpretations of indicator connotations limited the compara-bility of data.CONCLUSIONS To address these issues,improvement measures such as strengthening informatiza-tion construction,standardizing indicator statistical methods and enhancing multi-departmental coordination mech-anisms should be implemented.These efforts will provide a scientific basis for the implementation of special cam-paign and robust support for the rational use of antimicrobial agents.

Objective To examine the changing prevalence and antimicrobial resistance profiles of Burkholderia cepacia in 52 hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021.Methods A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were collected from 52 hospitals between January 1,2015 and December 31,2021.Antimicrobial susceptibility of the strains was tested using Kirby-Bauer method or automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing systems according to a unified protocol.The results were interpreted according to the breakpoints released in the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)guidelines(2023 edition).Results A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were isolated from all age groups,especially elderly patients.The proportion was 11.1％(1 032 strains)in children,significantly lower than the proportion in adults.About half(46.5％,4 310/9 261)of the strains were isolated from patients at least 60 years old and 42.3％(3 919/9 261)of the strains were isolated from young adults.Most isolates(71.1％)were isolated from sputum and respiratory secretions,followed by urine(10.7％)and blood samples(8.1％).B.cepacia isolates were highly susceptible to the five antimicrobial agents recommended in the CLSI M100 document(33rd edition,2023).B.cepacia isolates showed relatively higher resistance rates to meropenem and levofloxacin.However,the resistance rates to ceftazidime,trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole,and minocycline remained below 8.1％.The percentage of B.cepacia strains resistant to levofloxacin was the highest compared to other antibiotics in any of the three age groups(from 12.4％in the patients＜18 years old to 20.6％in the patients aged 60 years or older).Conclusions B.cepacia is one of the clinically important non-fermenting gram-negative bacteria.Accurate and timely reporting of antimicrobial susceptibility test results and ongoing antimicrobial resistance surveillance are helpful for rational prescription of antimicrobial agents and proper prevention and control of nosocomial infections.
