In the context of burgeoning economic trade, there has been a remarkable increase in the number of ships travelling between domestic and international ports. Inbound and outbound cargo ships, cruise liners, ferries, and other types of vessels have emerged as critical vehicles for the dispersal of vector organisms and the spread of infectious disease agents. Public health concerns associated with these vessels represent a significant threat to human welfare. In this paper, we comprehensively review the hazards posed by vector organisms on ships, the latest advances in prevention and control strategies, and proposes appropriate countermeasures. The aim is to provide effective guidance for the prevention and control of public health security issues caused by ship-borne vector organisms.

Objective To explore the identification method,pathogenesis,clinical characteristics and individualized pharmacotherapy of asymptomatic hyperuricemia after renal transplantation.Methods The pharmacist was on duty at the organ transplant outpatient clinic.During this time,they analyzed and sorted out the medications,identified and differentiated a case of asymptomatic hyperuricemia related to spironolactone in a patient who had undergone a renal transplant,and provided comprehensive care throughout the entire process.Results The asymptomatic hyperuricemia in this patient might be associated with spironolactone,and the adverse reactions of the patient were alleviated by pharmacists through optimizing clinical treatment.Up to now,no hyperuricemia occurred.Conclusions Pharmacists are required to collaborate closely with clinicians to establish medication profiles for patients under long-term follow-up and to closely monitor and evaluate drug-related adverse reactions.Additionally,they should assess the renal function and immune status of transplant recipients promptly and formulate individualized treatment plans in order to enhance the long-term survival of both the transplanted kidneys and the recipients.

Postoperative infection of internal fixation of closed fractures the lower limbs in adults represents a devastating complication, characterized by diagnostic challenges, prolonged treatment duration and high disability rates. Current management of these infections faces multiple challenges, such as difficulties in early accurate diagnosis, and various controversies about the treatment plan, leading to poor overall diagnosis and treatment results. To address these issues, based on evidence-based medicine and principles with emphasis on scientific rigor, clinical applicability and innovation, the Trauma Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Orthopedics Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Trauma Orthopedics and Polytrauma Group of the Resuscitation and Emergency Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association have collaboratively organized a panel of relevant experts to develop the Guideline for diagnosis and treatment of infection after internal fixation of closed lower limb fractures in adults ( version 2025). The guideline proposed 10 recommendations, aiming to provide a foundation for standardized diagnosis and treatment of postoperative infection in adults with closed lower limb fractures.

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combining albumin-bound paclitaxel (abpaclitaxel) and anlotinib for ovarian cancer. In this study, 44 patients diagnosed with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer were enrolled. Patients received ab-paclitaxel along with anlotinib until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. Efficacy was assessed according to RECIST 1.1 criteria or Rustin's criteria. The primary endpoint was the investigator-evaluated objective response rate (ORR). 44 patients were enrolled between January 2021 and March 2023 with a median age of 49 years. Twenty-nine had measurable lesions and 15 had non-measurable lesions. Overall, the investigator-evaluated ORR was 56.8% (25/44; 95% CI 0.411-0.713) in intention-to-treat population and 58.1% (25/43; 95% CI 0.422-0.726) in per-protocol population. The median progression-free survival was 9.8 months, and the median duration of response was 7.4 months. For safety, grade 3/4 adverse events (AEs) included leukopenia, gum pain, hypertension, and hand-foot syndrome. The response rates were 55.0% (11/20) in patients with previous use of antiangiogenic reagents and who had previous use of PARP inhibitors. The combination of ab-paclitaxel and anlotinib showed promising anti-tumor activity and a manageable safety profile in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. Patients with previous use of antiangiogenic drugs or PARP inhibitors still benefited from this protocol.

Objective To explore the expression of peripheral blood Nod-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3)inflammasomes,serum caveolin-1(Cav-1),and sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1(S1P1)in children with Kawasaki disease(KD),and to elucidate their associations with coronary artery lesion(CAL).Methods A total of 223 children diagnosed with KD were recruited from our hospital between March 2023 and December 2024 and served as the KD study group.These children were classified into the CAL group(n=71)and the non-CAL group(n=152)based on their CAL status.Additionally,223 healthy children who underwent physical examinations at our hospital were selected as the healthy control group.Clinical data,levels of routine laboratory test indices,peripheral blood NLRP3 inflammasomes,serum Cav-1,and S1P1 were compared among the groups.Risk factors for CAL in children with KD were analyzed,and the diagnostic value of peripheral blood NLRP3 inflammasomes,serum Cav-1,and S1P1 levels for CAL in children with KD was evaluated.Results The levels of NLRP3,caspase-1,ASC in peripheral blood and messenger ribonucleic acid(mRNA)of serum Cav-1 were significantly higher in the KD study group than in the healthy control group(P<0.05).Conversely,the serum level of S1P1 was significantly lower in the KD study group compared to the healthy control group(P<0.05).In the CAL group,the levels of peripheral blood white blood cell count(WBC),NLRP3,caspase-1,ASC mRNA,serum C-reactive protein(CRP),and Cav-1 were all higher than those in the non-CAL group(P<0.05),while the serum level of S1P1 was lower than that in the non-CAL group(P<0.05).The levels of NLRP3,caspase-1,ASC mRNA in peripheral blood,along with serum Cav-1 and S1P1,were identified as independent risk factors for CAL in children with KD(P<0.05).The results of receiver operating characteristic(ROC)analysis indicated that the combined test of the levels of NLRP3,caspase-1,ASC mRNA in peripheral blood,serum Cav-1,and S1P1 for diagnosing CAL in children with KD had an area under the curve(AUC)value of 0.926.This value was significantly higher than that of each individual index(0.844,0.785,0.821,0.843,0.833,P<0.05).Conclusions The levels of NLRP3 inflamma-tory vesicles in peripheral blood and serum Cav-1 were highly expressed in children with KD,whereas the serum S1P1 was poorly expressed.These indices may be involved in the development process of CAL in children with KD.Moreover,the combination of these indices is more beneficial for the diagnosis of CAL in children with KD.

To evaluate the therapeutic effect of a modified Devine procedure with a subcutaneous sliding fixation method for the treatment of congenital concealed penis, we retrospectively selected 45 patients with congenital concealed penises who were admitted to General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University (Yinchuan, China) between September 2020 and November 2023. In all cases, the penis was observed to be short, and retracting the skin at the base revealed a normal penile body, which immediately returned to its original position upon release. All patients underwent the modified Devine procedure with subcutaneous sliding fixation and completed a 12-week postoperative follow-up. A statistically significant increase in penile length was observed postoperatively, with the median length increasing from 4.0 (interquartile range [IQR]: 3.5-4.8; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.9-4.4) cm to 8.0 (IQR: 7.8-8.0; 95% CI: 7.7-7.9) cm, with P < 0.001. The parents were satisfied with the outcomes, including increased penile length, improved hygiene, and enhanced esthetics. Except for mild foreskin edema in all cases, no complications (such as infections, skin necrosis, or penile retraction) were observed. The edema was resolved within 4 weeks after the operation. This study demonstrates that the modified Devine procedure utilizing the subcutaneous sliding fixation method yields excellent outcomes with minimal postoperative complications, reduced penile retraction, and high satisfaction rates among patients and their families.
