ObjectiveTo characterize the seasonal patterns of influenza in Kunming City, Yunnan Province before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic, and provide scientific evidence for optimizing influenza prevention and control strategies. MethodsInfluenza-like illness (ILI) and etiological surveillance data for influenza from the 14^th week of 2010 to the 13^th week of 2024 in Kunming City of Yunnan Province were collected. Harmonic regression models were constructed to analyze the epidemic characteristics and seasonal patterns of influenza before (2010/2011‒2019/2020 influenza seasons), during (2020/2021‒2022/2023 influenza seasons), and after (2023/2024 influenza season) the COVID-19 pandemic. ResultsBefore the COVID-19 pandemic, influenza in Kunming City mainly exhibited an annual cyclic pattern without a significant semi-annual periodicity, peaking from December to February of the next year, with an epidemic duration of 20‒30 weeks. During the pandemic, influenza seasonality shifted, with an increase in semi-annual periodicity and an approximate one month delay in annual peaks. However, after the pandemic, the annual amplitude of influenza increased compared with that before the pandemic, and the epidemic duration extended by about one month. Although the annual peak largely reverted to the pre-pandemic levels, the annual peaks for different influenza subtypes/lineages had not fully recovered. ConclusionInfluenza seasonality in Kunming City underwent substantial alterations following the COVID-19 pandemic and has not yet fully reverted to pre-pandemic levels. Continuous surveillance on different subtypes/lineages of influenza viruses remains essential, and prevention and control strategies should be adjusted and optimized in a timely manner based on current epidemic trends.

ObjectiveThis study aims to develop and validate a novel multimodal predictive model， termed criss-cross network（CCNet）-directed graph neural network（DGNN）（CGN）， for accurate assessment of pulmonary nodule progression in high-risk individuals for lung cancer， by integrating longitudinal chest computed tomography（CT） imaging with both traditional Chinese and western clinical evaluation data. MethodsA cohort of 4 432 patients with pulmonary nodules was retrospectively analyzed. A twin CCNet was employed to extract spatiotemporal representations from paired sequential CT scans. Structured clinical assessment and imaging-derived features were encoded via a multilayer perceptron， and a similarity-based alignment strategy was adopted to harmonize multimodal imaging features across temporal dimensions. Subsequently， a DGNN was constructed to integrate heterogeneous features， where nodes represented modality-specific embeddings and edges denoted inter-modal information flow. Finally， model optimization was performed using a joint loss function combining cross-entropy and cosine similarity loss， facilitating robust classification of nodule progression status. ResultsThe proposed CGN model demonstrated superior predictive performance on the held-out test set， achieving an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve（AUC） of 0.830， accuracy of 0.843， sensitivity of 0.657， specificity of 0.712， Cohen's Kappa of 0.417， and F₁ score of 0.544. Compared with unimodal baselines， the CGN model yielded a 36%-48% relative improvement in AUC. Ablation studies revealed a 2%-22% increase in AUC when compared to simplified architectures lacking key components， substantiating the efficacy of the proposed multimodal fusion strategy and modular design. Incorporation of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）-specific symptomatology led to an additional 5% improvement in AUC， underscoring the complementary value of integrating TCM and western clinical data. Through gradient-weighted activation mapping visualization analysis， it was found that the model's attention predominantly focused on nodule regions and effectively captured dynamic associations between clinical data and imaging-derived features. ConclusionThe CGN model， by synergistically combining cross-attention encoding with directed graph-based feature integration， enables effective alignment and fusion of heterogeneous multimodal data. The incorporation of both TCM and western clinical information facilitates complementary feature enrichment， thereby enhancing predictive accuracy for pulmonary nodule progression. This approach holds significant potential for supporting intelligent risk stratification and personalized surveillance strategies in lung cancer prevention.

This paper aims to discuss the ideas and experience about the radiology residency training system of Canada with a presentation of its base accreditation standards for five aspects, competency goals for seven roles, four stages of training arrangement, and two types of final assessment questions. Although the Canada's radiology residency program differs from China's standardized resident and specialist training programs for radiology, there are still several points that are worth referencing, including emphasizing the training priority of competency goals, providing a specific basis for the stratification of training, offering clear guidance for the implementation of training content, and improving assessment methods to focus on competency goals. These points are of great value for improving the standardized radiology resident and specialist training programs in China, so as to provide a reference for the training of excellent radiologists in China.

Aim To investigate the effects of Cartham-us tinctorius L.extract(CTLE)on oxidative stress,lipid metabolism,and apoptosis levels of mice with al-cohol-induced liver injury and its mechanism of action.Methods The mouse model of alcohol-associated liver disease was established by chronic alcohol feeding and acute alcohol gavage.Mice were randomly divided into four groups.During the modeling period,the state changes of mice were observed every day,and their weight was recorded.At the end of modeling,blood and liver tissues were collected from each group of mice.The blood of mice was analyzed biochemically,and HE staining and Oil Red O staining were used to evaluate further the degree of pathological damage in the liver of mice.Quantitative real-time PCR(qPCR)and Western blot were applied to detect the mRNA and protein expression levels of p-PI3K,PI3K,p-Akt,Akt,p-mTOR,mTOR,p-FoxO1,FoxO1,p-FoxO3a,FoxO3a,p-FoxO4,FoxO4,BCL and BAX factors.Results Compared to the model group,the CTLE administration group showed improved hepatic patho-logical injury and reduced lipid deposition.The bio-chemical indexes in serum and liver,such as ALT,AST,TG,TC,and MDA levels were reduced,while GSH and SOD levels increased.Regulating the PI3K/Akt/FoxO pathway resulted in increased production of SOD,which reduced damage and apoptosis caused by reactive oxygen species(ROS).Conclusions CTLE can exert anti-oxidative stress and anti-apoptotic effects through the PI3K/Akt/FoxO pathway and attenuates alcoholic liver injury in mice,providing new ideas for the treatment of alcoholic liver disease and the develop-ment of related drugs.

Apoptosis is a process of programmed cell death,which has the function of maintaining skin balance.In psoriasis,the disturbance of apoptosis is characterized by abnormal prolif-eration of keratinocytes.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)has a regulatory effect on keratinocyte apoptosis,which can in-hibit the excessive proliferation of psoriasis epidermis,promote normal epidermal differentiation,and maintain epidermal homeo-stasis.It has the advantages of fewer adverse reactions and multi-targets.Therefore,this article summarizes and analyzes the specific mechanism of various active ingredients of TCM to in-duce the apoptosis of psoriasis keratinocytes by interfering with related factors and signaling pathways,hoping to provide a refer-ence for the treatment of psoriasis with TCM.

Objective:To explore the risk factors affecting the survival and efficacy of patients with acute myeloid leukemia with myelodysplasia-related changes(AML-MRC)transformed from myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS).Methods:The clinical data of 60 patients with AML-MRC transformed from MDS who hospitalized in The Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2010 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.The demographic data and laboratory parameters,cytogenetic karyotypes,target genes of AML detected by next generation sequence,risk stratification,treatment regimen,therapeutic efficacy and survival outcome were documented.Rank sum test and Chi-square test or Fisher exact test were used to compare the survival and efficacy.The effects of clinical parameters,risk stratification and treatment regimens on the survival and efficacy of the AML-MRC patients were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analysis.Results:The median overall survival(OS)of the AML-MRC patients was 4.5 months,the 1-year OS rate was 28.3％,and the complete remission(CR)rate after treatment was 33.3％.The univariate analysis showed that age≥60 years,leukocytosis,severe thrombocytopenia,poor-risk group and only accepted hypomethylating agents(HMAs)or supportive therapy were the risk factors affecting OS.COX multivariate analysis showed that thrombocytopenia(HR=4.46),HMAs therapy(compared to transplantation,HR=10.47),supportive therapy(compared to transplantation,HR=25.80)and poor-risk group(compared to medium-risk group,HR=13.86)were independent hazard factors for median OS of patients with AML-MRC.The univariate analysis showed that the risk factors affecting 1-year OS in patients with AML-MRC were age ≥ 60 years,thrombocytopenia,time of transformation from MDS to AML(TTA)≥3 months,fibrinogen-albumin ratio index(FARI)≥ 0.07,CONUT score≥5,poor-risk group and supportive therapy.Binary logistic regression analysis showed that the independent risk factors for 1-year OS in AML-MRC patients were age ≥ 60 years(HR=11.23),thrombocytopenia(HR=8.71),FARI ≥ 0.07(HR=5.19)and poor-risk group(HR=14.00).The risk factors affecting CR of AML-MRC patients in univariate analysis were age ≥ 60 years,thrombocytopenia,FARI ≥ 0.1,CONUT score ≥ 5,poor-risk group and supportive therapy,while binary logistic regression analysis showed that age ≥ 60 years(HR=7.35),CONUT score ≥ 5(HR=9.60),thrombocytopenia(HR=12.05)and poor-risk group(HR=32.5)were independent risk factors affecting CR of the patients.Conclusion:The OS of AML-MRC patients is poor,old age(≥ 60 years old),supportive therapy,HMA therapy,poor-risk,thrombocytopenia,FARI ≥ 0.07 and CONUT score ≥ 5 may be associated with poor prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the expression level of small nucleolar RNA(snoRNA)SNORA63 in bone marrow of patients with acute leukemia(AL)and its significance in the clinical diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of AL patients.Methods:Bone marrow samples of 53 newly diagnosed AL patients and 29 healthy subjects in the Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University from March 2018 to December 2021 were collected.Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)was used to detect the relative expression level of SNORA63 in bone marrow mononuclear cells of the two groups.The median expression level of SNORA63 in AL patients was used as the boundary value to divide the patients into SNORA63 high and low expression groups,and the relationship between the expression level of SNORA63 and the clinical characteristics,clinical indicators and prognosis of AL patients was analyzed and discussed.Results:The relative expression level of SNORA63 in AL patients was significantly lower than that in healthy control group[0.3018(0.0244-1.2792)vs 1.0882(0.2797-1.9889)](P＜0.01).The expression level of SNORA63 in AL patients without remission after initial treatment was significantly lower than that in healthy controls and the patients who received complete remission(CR)(P＜0.01),while there was no statistical difference in the expression level of SNORA63 between AML and ALL groups(P＞0.05).The abnormal low expression of SNORA63 was closely related to fever,hemorrage,poor prognosis,efficacy,platelets(PLT),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),albumin(ALB),and molecular biological abnormalities of AL patients(P＜0.05),but not significantly correlated with sex,age,AL subtype,pallor,fatigue,extramedullary infiltration,white blood cell count(WBC),hemoglobin(HGB),C-reactive protein(CRP),procalcitonin(PCT),fibrinogen(FIB)or chromosome karyotype(P＞0.05).Meanwhile,overall survival(OS)and event-free survival(EFS)of AL patients in SNORA63 high-expression group were significantly higher than those in SNORA63 low-expression group(P＜0.05).Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that SNORA63,molecular biological abnormalities,fever,PLT and LDH were the factors influencing OS and EFS in AL patients(P＜0.05).Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that fever,molecular biological abnormalities and LDH were independent factors associated with OS and EFS in AL patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion:SNORA63 is significantly down-expressed in AL patients,which is a molecular marker of great clinical value for disease monitoring and prognosis evaluation in AL patients.

Objective:To explore and analyze the clinical features and prognostic factors of secondary intestinal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(SI-DLBCL),in order to provide reference for the basic research and clinical diagnosis and treatment of secondary lymphoma of rare sites in the field of hematology.Methods:The clinical data of 138 patients with SI-DLBCL admitted to Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from June 2011 to June 2022 were collected and sorted,the clinical and pathological features,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis were analyzed.Cox regression risk model was used to conduct univariate and multivariate analysis on the prognostic risk factors.Results:Among the 138 patients with SI-DLBCL included in this study,85(61.59％)were male,53(38.41％)were female,the median age of onset was 59.5(16-84)years,the clinical manifestations lacked specificity,the first-line treatment regimen was mainly chemotherapy(67.39％),94 cases(68.12％)received chemotherapy alone,40 cases(28.98％)were treated with chemotherapy combined with surgery,and 4 cases(2.90％)were treated with surgery alone.The median follow-up time was 72(1-148)months.Among the 138 patients with SI-DLBCL,79(57.25％)survived,34(24.64％)died,25 cases(18.12％)lost to follow-up,the PFS rates of 1-year,3-year and 5-year were 57.97％,49.28％and 32.61％,and the OS rates of 1-year,3-year and 5-year were 60.14％,54.35％and 34.06％,respectively.The results of univariate Cox regression analysis showed that age,Lugano stage and IPI score were the influencing factors of OS in SI-DLBCL patients,and age,Lugano stage and IPI score were the influencing factors of PFS in SI-DLBCL patients.The results of multivariate Cox analysis showed that Lugano stage was an independent prognostic factor affecting OS and PFS in SI-DLBCL patients.Conclusion:Patients with SI-DLBCL are more common in middle-aged and elderly men,and the early clinical manifestations lack specificity,and the first-line treatment regimen is mainly R-CHOP chemotherapy,and Lugano stage is an independent prognostic factor affecting OS and PFS in SI-DLBCL patients.

Objective:To explore the relationship between parental psychological control,school climate and future orientation of high school students.Methods:Totally1 430 senior high school students were evaluated with parental control questionnaire,Adolescent perceived Campus atmosphere questionnaire and Adolescent Future orien-tation questionnaire.The moderating effect of school climate was analyzed using Modell of the PROCESS mac-ro.The bridge function in the network analysis methodology was usedto calculate the bridge expected influence in-dex to evaluate the bridge nodes between parental psychological control and future orientation network,school cli-mate and future orientation network.Results:The analysis of moderating effects shows a negative correlation be-tween parental psychological control and future orientation(β=-0.11,P＜0.001).Both positive and average school climates demonstrated a positive moderating effect(β=-0.11,-0.17,P＜0.001).The bridge expected impact index showed that the bridge connection nodes of parental psychological control and campus atmosphere on future orientation were guilt-thoughtfulness(bridge El=0.23,0.19)and teacher support-optimism(bridge EI=0.19,0.15).Conclusion:A positive school climate could mitigate the negative effects of parental psychological control on high school students'future orientation,with future emotional experience being a key aspect in how both influence the students'future direction.

A 57-year-old male patient was admitted to Shanghai Huashan Hospital due to recurrent systemic sclerosis in May 2023. The patient presented with mild diarrhea (2-3 times per day) and was suspected of having concurrent infectious diarrhea. Fecal samples, after selective enrichment and isolation, identified a'non-A-F serogroup Salmonella′. Salmonella Michigan ST2065 was identified in the reference laboratory by serotyping, drug resistance phenotyping, whole genome sequencing and cross-referencing with the regional serotype database of Salmonella in China. Combined with drug resistance and virulence results, the strain was determined to exhibit a phenotype characterized by high drug resistance and low enterotoxin production. The patient was prescribed oral tigecycline for 7 days and was discharged with improved symptoms.
