ObjectiveTo analyze the protective effect of different types of influenza vaccines (InfV) against influenza A among the individuals aged between 3‒17 years old, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of influenza in the future. MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted to collect data on the incidence and InfV vaccination of the individuals aged between 3‒17 years during the influenza epidemic season from 2022 to 2023. Vaccine effectiveness (VE) was calculated, and a log-binomial regression model was used to calculate the corrected VE. ResultsThe incidence rate of influenza in InfV vaccinated and un-vaccinated groups was 7.32% (1 937/ 26 446) and 9.65% (4 421/45 837), respectively. After adjusting for age and gender factors, the unadjusted VE (95%CI) was 54.57% (52.24%‒56.78%). The unadjusted VE (95%CI) was 53.66% (50.36%‒56.74%) for males and 55.60% (52.24%‒58.72%) for females, respectively. The unadjusted VE (95%CI) for the age group of 3‒ years, 6‒ years, 9‒ years, 12‒ years, and 15‒17 years were 64.08% (60.89%‒67.01%), 57.40% (53.71%‒60.80%), 57.77% (52.49%‒62.47%), 24.36% (9.49%‒36.79%), and 24.09% (-17.59%‒51.00%), respectively. The unadjusted VE (95%CI) for quadrivalent split-virion inactivated influenza vaccine, trivalent split-virion inactivated influenza vaccine, trivalent subunit influenza vaccine, and trivalent live attenuated influenza vaccine were 53.84% (51.32%‒56.24%), 62.17% (56.28%‒67.26%), 79.83% (69.94%‒86.46%), and 31.59% (19.07%‒42.18%), respectively. ConclusionThe InfV used during the 2022‒2023 influenza season had a good protective effect against influenza A among the individuals aged between 3‒17 years old, especially in those aged between 3‒11 years old.

BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is the leading malignancy in China in terms of both incidence and mortality. With increased health awareness and the widespread use of low-dose computed tomography (CT), early diagnosis rates have been steadily improving. Surgical intervention remains the primary treatment option for early-stage lung cancer, and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has become a common approach due to its minimal invasiveness and rapid recovery. However, post-discharge recovery remains incomplete, underscoring the importance of postoperative care. Traditional follow-up methods, lack standardization, consume significant medical resources, and increase the burden of the patients. Artificial intelligence (AI)-driven disease management platforms offer a novel solution to optimize postoperative follow-up. This study followed 463 lung cancer surgery patients using an AI-based platform, aiming to identify common postoperative issues, propose solutions, improve quality of life, reduce recurrence-related costs, and promote AI integration in healthcare. METHODS: Using the AI disease management platform, this study integrated educational videos, collaboration between healthcare teams and AI assistants, daily health logs, health assessment forms, and personalized interventions to monitor postoperative recovery. The postoperative rehabilitation status of the patients was assessed by the Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ-MC). Two independent t-test and one-way ANOVA were used to analyze the causes of postoperative cough in lung cancer. RESULTS: Most issues occurred within 7 d post-discharge, significantly declined on 14 d post-discharge. Factors such as gender, smoking history, and surgical approaches were found to influence cough recovery. The incidence of cough on 7 d post-discharge in females was higher than that in males (P<0.01), while the incidence of cough on 14 d post-discharge in elderly patients was lower than that in young patients (P=0.03). The AI-based platform effectively addressed cough, pain, and sleep disturbances through phased interventions. CONCLUSIONS The AI-based platform significantly enhanced postoperative management efficiency and the self-care capabilities of the patients, particularly in phased cough management. Future integration with wearable devices could enable more precise and personalized postoperative care, further advancing the application of AI technology across multidisciplinary healthcare domains.

Objective:To explore the factors influencing ethical sensitivity of oncology nurses.Methods:Using purposive sampling, 15 oncology nurses from 13 tertiary general hospitals in Foshan, Guangdong Province were selected as research participants from July to September 2023. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted, and Colaizzi's seven-step content analysis method was applied to organize and analyze the collected data.Results:A total of 4 themes were summarized: insufficient clinical experience and knowledge reserve; lack of ethical education and management system processes; high-pressure working environment and communication barriers; and the constraints of the cultural concept of "valuing life over death".Conclusions:Oncology nurses have insufficient ethical sensitivity. Nursing managers should establish a systematic ethical education system, improve ethical management systems, optimize the clinical working environment, and integrate cultural sensitivity education to jointly enhance nurses' communication skills. Attention should also be paid to the inheritance of clinical experience from senior nurses, so as to improve the ethical sensitivity of oncology nurses in a multidimensional way.

Objective To investigate the voice emotion perception of bimodal listeners,and to provide refer-ence and suggestions for hearing rehabilitation of cochlear implant(CI)users.Methods A total of 17 Mandarin-speaking postingual deafness bimodal adults as well as 20 normal hearing(NH)adults and 18 adults with unilateral CI participated in the study.All participants received voice emotion recognition test.Results The NH group had significantly higher accuracy scores and shorter reaction times than the bimodal group and the unilateral CI group(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in accuracy between the bimodal group and the unilateral CI group(P＞0.05).The reaction time was significantly shorter in the bimodal users than in the unilateral CI users(P＜0.05).The bimodal listeners spent less time in female-speaker material than that in male-speaker material(P＜0.05).Neutral emotion had the highest accuracy(96.67％)and scared emotion had the lowest accuracy(41.82％).Conclusion A contralateral hearing aid(HA)improves the ability of voice emotion perception for Mandarin-speak-ing bimodal listeners,even though they continue to experience more challenges than NH peers.HA in the nonim-planted ear plays an important role in Mandarin-speaking bimodal listeners'voice emotion perception.

Objective To investigate the role of TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway in mediating sleep depriva-tion induced endolymphatic hydrops.Methods A total of 30 healthy sprague-dawley(SD)rats were randomly di-vided into the control group、big platform control group,and 2 w,3 w,4 w sleep deprivation group,with 6 rats in each group.Modified multiple platform method was adopted to establish the rat sleep deprivation model.Before and after the experiment,the open field and acoustic brain-stem response(ABR)was conducted to evaluate the behavior and hearing level.After ABR test,blood samples were collected from abdominal aorta,and serum levels of TNF-αand MCP-1 were detected by ELISA.The cochlea was dissected,the severity of endolymphatic hydrops was as-sessed by calculating the ratio of the cross sectional area of the membranous cochlear duct(SM)to that of the mem-branous cochlear duct+scale vestibuli(SM+SV).Positive expression of IL-1β,TNF-α,MCP-1,TLR4,NF-κB P65 in rat cochlear tissues was detected via immunohistochemical staining.After the experiment,the changes of hearing level,the severity of endolymphatic hydrops and TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway related proteins and down-stream inflammatory factors expression level were observed.The correlation between TLR4/NF-κB signaling path-way and hearing level and endolymphatic hydropsin rats was analyzed.Results ABR results showed an increased threshold of wave Ⅱ in the sleep deprivation group compared to those of the control group and big platform control group(P＜0.05).The rate of hydrops was 0％in control and big platform control groups,16.67％in 2w sleep deprivation group and 25％in 3 w and 4 w sleep deprivation group.The concentrations of TNF-αand MCP-1 in ser-um of rats in sleep deprivation groups were higher than those in control and big platform control groups,and the 4w sleep deprivation group were statistically significant compared with control and big platform control groups.The ex-pressions of IL-1β,TNF-α,MCP-1,TLR4 and NF-κB P65 in the cochlear spiral ganglion,spiral canal,stria vascu-laris and spiral ligament of rats in sleep deprivation groups were higher than those in control and big platform control groups.Conclusion Sleep deprivation may induce endolymphatic hydrops by the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.
