The Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) statement aims to enhance the quality of reporting for randomized controlled trial (RCT) by providing a minimum item checklist. It was first published in 1996, and updated in 2001 and 2010, respectively. The latest version was released in April 2025, continuously reflecting new evidence, methodological advancements, and user feedback. CONSORT 2025 includes 30 essential checklist items and a template for a participant flow diagram. The main changes to the checklist include the addition of 7 items, revision of 3 items, and deletion of 1 item, as well as the integration of multiple key extensions. This article provides a comprehensive interpretation of the statement, aiming to help clinical trial staff, journal editors, and reviewers fully understand the essence of CONSORT 2025, correctly apply it in writing RCT reports and evaluating RCT quality, and provide guidance for conducting high-level RCT research in China.

Objective:
To investigate an outbreak of acute gastroenteritis at a vocational and technical school in Shaanxi Province in 2024, ao as to provide the reference for the handling of school outbreaks.
Methods:
The conducted case searches, individual case investigations, and on-site hygienic investigations were established in accordance with the Guidelines on outbreak investigation, prevention and control of Norovirus infection (2015). The potential risk factors were analyzed by case-control study. Anal swab samples from cases and all canteen staff, as well as environmental swab samples were collected to detect common intestinal pathogens. All reserved food samples in canteen were collected to test for common pathogenic bacteria.
Results:
From October 26 to November 5, 2024, a cumulative total of 53 cases were reported, with an attack rate of 1.47%. The main clinical symptoms included vomiting (83.02%), abdominal pain (56.60%), diarrhea (30.19%), and fever (26.42%). The epidemic curve suggested an intermittent common-source outbreak, with no obvious clustering characteristics in terms of the population and spatial distribution of cases. The case-control analysis revealed that having dinner at the rice-with-dishes-on-top stall on the first floor of the canteen on October 28 was a risk factor for illness (OR=11.025, 95%CI: 2.186-55.601). GⅡ norovirus was detected as positive in anal swab samples from 6 cases and 2 asymptomatic infected canteen staff, as well as in 3 environmental swab samples from the rice-with-dishes-on-top stall. The test results for common pathogenic bacteria in the reserved food samples were all negative.
Conclusions
This outbreak was caused by an acute gastroenteritis epidemic induced by GⅡ norovirus infection, with a transmission pattern consistent with an intermittent homologous outbreak. The possible source of infection was asymptomatic infected canteen staff mainly through foodborne trasmission, and having meals at the rice-with-dishes-on-top stall was the primary risk factor for this outbreak.

PURPOSE:
To evaluate the relationship between the timing of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for blunt thoracic aortic injury (BTAI) and prognosis.
METHODS:
This is a single-center retrospective cohort study. Patients who received TEVAR for BTAI at our institution from October 2016 to September 2023 were divided into 2 categories depending on the injury severity score (ISS) (≤ 25 vs. > 25) and when the TEVAR was performed for BTAI (within 24 h vs. after 24 h), respectively. The analysis included all patients who received TEVAR treatment after being diagnosed with BTAI through whole-body CT angiography. Patients treated with open repair and non-operative management were excluded. After propensity-score matching for various factors, outcomes during hospitalization and follow-up were compared. These factors included demographics, comorbidities, concomitant injuries, cause and location of aortic injury, Glasgow coma scale score, society for vascular surgery grading, hemoglobin concentration, creatinine concentration, shock, systolic blood pressure, and heart rate at admission. The comparison was conducted using SPSS 26 software. Continuous variables were presented as either the mean ± standard deviation or median (Q1, Q3), and were compared using either the t-test or the Mann-Whitney U test. Categorical variables were expressed as n (%), and comparisons were made between the 2 groups using the χ2 test or Fisher's exact test. Statistical significance was defined as a 2-sided p < 0.05.
RESULTS:
In total, 110 patients were involved in the study, with 65 (59.1%) patients having ISS scores > 25 and 32 (29.1%) receiving immediate TEVAR. The perioperative overall mortality rate in the group with ISS > 25 was significantly higher than that in the group with ISS ≤ 25 (11 (16.9%) vs. 2 (4.4%), p < 0.001). Upon admission, the elective group exhibited a notably higher Glasgow coma scale score (median (Q1, Q3)) compared to the immediate group (15 (12, 15) vs. 13.5 (9, 15), p = 0.039), while the creatinine concentration (median (Q1, Q3)) at admission was significantly higher in the immediate group (90.5 (63.8, 144.0) vs. 71.5 (58.3, 80.8), p = 0.012). The final sample included 52 matched patients. Complications occurred significantly less frequently in the elective group compared to the immediate group (16 (50.0%) vs. 3 (10.0%), p < 0.001). Single-factor analysis of variance showed that complications in hospitalized patients were significantly associated with immediate TEVAR as the sole independent risk factor (odds ratio: 9.000, 95% confidence interval: 2.266-35.752, p = 0.002).
CONCLUSION
In this propensity-score matched analysis of patients undergoing TEVAR for BTAI, elective TEVAR was significantly associated with a lower risk of complication rates. In this study using propensity-score matching, patients who underwent elective TEVAR for BTAI had lower complication rates than immediate TEVAR.

Objective:To construct four recombinant hemagglutinin (HA) antigens from seasonal influenza viruses and evaluate their immunogenicity in mouse models.Methods:HA coding sequences from four seasonal influenza virus strains Wisconsin (H1N1), Darwin (H3N2), Austria (B/Victoria lineage, BV) and Phuket (B/Yamagata lineage, BY) were optimized and synthesized, and then used to construct four recombinant plasmids. Recombinant baculoviruses were obtained through transformation and transfection. The expression of recombinant HA antigens was identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. The recombinant HA antigens were purified by nickel column affinity chromatography and intramuscularly administered to BALB/c mice after formulation with Al(OH) 3 or AddaVax adjuvant. Humoral immune responses were assessed by indirect ELISA and hemagglutination inhibition test, while cellular immune responses were evaluated by ELISPOT. Microneutralization test was used to detect the titers of serum antibodies in mice. Statistical analysis was performed using t test or non-parametric rank sum test. Results:PCR amplification and agarose gel electrophoresis confirmed the correct construction of the recombinant bacmids. Western blot showed verified the successful expression of the four recombinant antigens (H1-HA, H3N2-HA, BV-HA, and BY-HA). SDS-PAGE results showed that the purity of all four recombinant HA antigens exceeded 95%. After three-dose immunization, the total IgG levels in mice immunized with the recombinant H1N1-HA, H3N2-HA, or BV-HA formulated with AddaVax adjuvant were higher than those in the corresponding groups immunized with the same recombinant antigen alone (all P<0.05). The secretion levels of IFN-γ, IL-2, and IL-4 in the group receiving the mixture of all four recombinant HA antigens formulated with AddaVax adjuvant were higher than those in the group immunized with a commercial quadrivalent split influenza vaccine (all P<0.01). Results of the microneutralization test showed that the antibody titer in the quadrivalent split influenza vaccine group was 1∶225, whereas the titer in the group immunized with the mixture of four recombinant HA antigens formulated with AddaVax adjuvant could reach up to 1∶1 200. Conclusions:In this study, four recombinant seasonal influenza virus HA antigens are successfully expressed and demonstrated good immunogenicity in mice when formulated AddaVax adjuvant.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of serum homocysteine (Hcy), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and total imaging load score on cognition disorders in patients with small cerebral vascular disease (CSVD).Methods:A total of 106 CSVD patients treated in Shanxi Hongdong County People's Hospital from June 2021 to June 2024 were retrospectively selected as the study objects. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA) was used to assess cognitive function. Among them, 43 patients with cognition disorders and 63 patients without cognition disorders were evaluated. Another 30 healthy subjects over 60 years old were selected as control group. General data and serum Hcy, NLR and other indicators of the three groups were compared, MRI examination was performed, and the total imaging load score was calculated. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of cognition disorders in CSVD patients, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive value of Hcy, NLR and radiographic total load score for cognition disorders in CSVD patients.Results:The levels of Hcy, NLR and total imaging load scores in the CSVD group were higher than those in the CSVD group and the control group : (20.32 ± 3.24) μmol/L vs. (17.75 ± 2.81), (14.96 ± 3.84) μmol/L; 2.77 ± 0.75 vs. 2.27 ± 0.68, 1.93 ± 0.47; (1.28 ± 0.73) scores vs. (0.92 ± 0.55), (0.36 ± 0.21) scores, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The results of Logistic regression showed that Hcy, NLR and total load score were risk factors for cognition disorders ( P<0.05). The results of ROC curve showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of Hcy, NLR, total imaging load score combined prediction of cognition disorders was 0.798. Conclusions:Hcy, NLR and total imaging load score are risk factors for cognition disorders in CSVD, and have certain predictive value for cognition disorders.

Objective:To integrate implicit templates with deep learning techniques, a novel neural network, the tooth-deformable deep implicit network (T-DDIN), was constructed to achieve high-precision shape completion of tooth defects in a personalized manner.Methods:A total of 550 intraoral scan models were collected from patients treated at the Department of Orthodontics and Department of Prosthodontics, West China Hospital of Stomatology, Sichuan University (500 for training and 50 for testing), between March 2022 and March 2024. T-DDIN reconstructed defective tooth morphology using an implicit template and a latent encoding prediction network. During model evaluation, Class Ⅱ cavity defects and occlusal wear defects were simulated in the test set. Morphological restoration was performed using both traditional computer aided design (CAD) methods and the T-DDIN deep learning approach. The two methods were compared based on three-dimensional deviation, occlusal adjustment volumes, cusp angle deviation, and restoration time.Results:The T-DDIN group demonstrated significantly lower three-dimensional deviation for Class Ⅱ cavity defects and occlusal wear restoration [(0.14±0.05) and (0.16±0.09) mm], occlusal adjustment volumes [(0.44±0.03) and (0.49±0.03) mm 3], and difference value of the tooth cusp angles (5.69°±1.90° and 6.04°±0.53°) compared to the traditional CAD group (both P<0.001). No significant differences were observed within the T-DDIN group between the two defect types in terms of three-dimensional deviation ( P=0.098) or occlusal adjustment volume ( P=0.154) or difference value of the tooth cusp angles ( P=0.196). However, in the traditional CAD group, three-dimensional deviation, occlusal adjustment volume and difference value of the tooth cusp angles was significantly higher in occlusal wear restorations than in Class Ⅱ cavity defects restorations ( P<0.001). The T-DDIN group, which involved Class Ⅱ cavity defects and occlusal wear, demonstrated significantly less recovery time of morphology (37.2±7.7) and (39.4±6.2) s compared to the traditional CAD group ( P<0.001). Conclusions:T-DDIN demonstrated superior stability and accuracy in morphological reconstruction for various types of dental defects while significantly reducing restoration time.

Objectives:This study aimed to explore the association between perceived mental stress (MS), lymphocyte subset variations, and coronary lesion severity in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).Methods:Patients with CAD were enrolled in this study from September 2023 to May 2024. Perceived Stress Scale-14 (PSS-14) was used to evaluate MS during the last 1 month. Lymphocyte subsets were analyzed, including the percentage and absolute counts of CD3 +, CD3 +CD4 +, CD3 +CD8 +, CD3 -CD19 +, CD3 -CD56 +16 +, and the Th/Ts ratio. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 24.0. Results:This study recruited patients with 323 CAD, with an average age of 61 (56, 68) years, including 203 males and 120 females. According to the PSS-14, a score of 14-42 and 43-70 were categorized as normal and increased MS, respectively. Patients with CAD with increased MS had significantly higher Gensini scores than those with normal MS [37(19,64) vs. 28(12,50), Z=-2.19, P=0.029]. Male CAD patients with increased MS exhibited significantly higher Gensini scores [39(20, 58) vs. 26(12, 45), Z=-2.37, P=0.018], levels of CD3 +CD8 +%[28.3%(23.6%,36.6%) vs. 25.9%(21.0%,32.4%), Z=-2.05, P=0.041], and CD3 +CD8 +absolute value [485 (346, 675) vs. 396 (309, 510) cells/μl, Z=-2.55, P=0.011] than those with normal MS. In male patients with CAD, a positive correlation was observed between Gensini scores (correlation coefficient: 0.181, P=0.011), PSS-14 scores, and CD3 +CD8 +absolute value (correlation coefficient: 0.162, P=0.038). Conclusion:This study reveals a positive correlation between MS and coronary stenosis severity, with notable sex differences. In male patients with CAD, higher levels of MS are associated with more severe coronary stenosis. The potential underlying mechanism may involve the regulation of lymphocyte subsets .
