Objective: To analyze epidemiological trends and changing characteristics of syphilis among students in Yunnan Province from 2005 to 2023, so as to provide evidence for the comprehensive prevention and control of syphilis in schools. Methods: The case data of syphilis among students in Yunnan Province from 2005 to 2023 were obtained from the China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention. The Joinpoint regression model was used to conduct a time trend analysis of the reported incidence rate of syphilis. Results: From 2005 to 2023, a cumulative total of 3 191 cases of syphilis were reported in schools in Yunnan Province(1 248 male cases and 1 943 female cases). The reported incidence rate rose continuously from 0.17/100 000 in 2005 to 8.26/100 000 in 2023, with an average annual percent change (AAPC) of 24.89%( Z =13.18, P <0.01). The reported incidence rate was higher in female students than in male students ( χ 2=229.48, P <0.05). The incidence rates in the primary school, junior high school, senior high school and higher education were 0.21/100 000, 2.42/100 000, 4.45/100 000 and 6.29/100 000 respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=3 432.84, P <0.05). The average annual growth rate was the highest in the junior high school stage(AAPC= 30.68% , Z =7.57, P <0.05),followed by the senior high school stage (AAPC=24.28%, Z = 5.70 , P <0.05).The reported incidence rate of primary and secondary syphilis increased from 0.12/100 000 in 2005 to 2.06/ 100 000 in 2023, with an AAPC of 16.86% ( Z = 4.57, P <0.05). Conclusions The overall reported incidence rate of syphilis among students in schools in Yunnan Province shows a sustained upward trend, with the most rapid annual increase observed in junior high schools. Schools should prioritize syphilis education and expand awareness campaigns to curb transmission.

Objective: To explore the association between maternal lipid levels during pregnancy and the risk of overweight and obesity in offspring at 3 years of age, providing scientific evidences for the prevention and control of childhood obesity. Methods: A total of 2 432 mother-child pairs with maternal lipid tests during pregnancy and offspring s physical growth data at 3 years of age were included from the Borin in Guangzhou Cohort Study up to September 2021. Lipid indicators, including high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C), triglycerides (TG), and total cholesterol (TC), were measured at 13-19 +6 weeks (mid pregnancy) and 32-39 +6 weeks (late pregnancy). Children s body mass index (BMI) Z score were calculated according to the World Health Organization s growth standards for children under 5 years old. The lipid Z score were divided into four quartiles: Q 1, Q 2, Q 3 and Q 4. Linear regression was used to analyze the relationship between maternal lipid levels during pregnancy and offspring’s BMI Z score at 3 years of age. Poisson regression with a robust error variance was employed to evaluate the association between maternal lipid levels during pregnancy and the at risk of overweight and obesity in offspring at 3 years of age, after adjusting for maternal age at conception, education level, parity, pre pregnancy BMI and gestational diabetes mellitus. Results: There was a statistically significnt difference in the detection rate of overweight and obesity risk among children with different mothers s pre pregnancy BMI ( χ 2=22.85, P <0.05). Linear regression analysis showed that TG levels in late pregnancy were positively related to BMI Z score ( β=0.10, 95%CI=0.02-0.18, P <0.05). Poisson regression with a robust error variance indicated that, compared with the Q 1 group of TC, the Q 4 group of TC in mid pregnancy was associated with an increased risk of overweight and obesity in offspring at 3 years of age ( RR=1.59, 95%CI =1.04-2.44); compared with the Q 1 group of TG, the Q 4 group of TG during late pregnancy increased the risk of overweight and obesity in offspring at 3 years of age ( RR=1.79, 95%CI =1.02-3.12) (both P <0.05). Conclusions Maternal serum TC level during mid pregnancy can increase the risk of overweight and obesity in offspring at 3 years of age. Maternal serum TG levels during late pregnancy is positively correlated with BMI and the risk of overweight and obesity in offspring at 3 years of age.

Objective: To analyze the association between poor sleep characteristics and the coexistence of negative emotions and overweight/obesity among college students, so as to provide a scientific basis for improving their physical and mental health. Methods: From November to December 2023, a convenience sampling method was used to survey 6 600 college students from nine universities in Jiangxi, Hunan, and Hubei provinces. The Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and physical examinations were employed to assess negative emotions, poor sleep characteristics, and overweight/obesity. Chi square test and Logistic regression were used to analyze the impact of poor sleep characteristics on the coexistence of negative emotions and overweight/obesity. Results: The coexistence rates of different categories of negative emotions (depression, anxiety, stress) and overweight/obesity were 6.1% ( n= 405), 8.0% ( n =529), and 3.3% ( n =217), respectively. Gender, grade level, major, maternal education level, annual family income, physical activity level, only child status, and carbonated beverage consumption were statistically associated with the coexistence rates of different categories of negative emotions and overweight/obesity ( χ 2=4.01-35.18, all P <0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for gender, grade level, major, only child status, maternal education level, annual family income, physical activity level, and carbonated beverage consumption, poor sleep characteristics were significantly associated with an increased risk of the coexistence of negative emotions and overweight/obesity ( OR =1.41-6.65); moderate and poor sleep quality levels were significantly associated with an increased risk of the coexistence of different categories of negative emotions and overweight/obesity among female students ( OR =1.99-4.71) (all P <0.05). Conclusions Poor sleep characteristics are associated with the coexistence of negative emotions and overweight/obesity among college students. Greater attention should be paid to sleep issues in this population, and sleep education should be actively promoted to reduce the risk of comorbid negative emotions and overweight/obesity.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy has achieved remarkable success in the treatment of hematological malignancies. Based on the immunomodulatory capability of CAR-T cells, efforts have turned toward exploring their potential in treating autoimmune diseases. Bibliometric analysis of 210 records from 128 academic journals published by 372 institutions in 40 countries/regions indicates a growing number of publications on CAR-T therapy for autoimmune diseases, covering a range of subtypes such as systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, among others. CAR-T therapy holds promise in mitigating several shortcomings, including the indiscriminate suppression of the immune system by traditional immunosuppressants, and non-sustaining therapeutic levels of monoclonal antibodies due to inherent pharmacokinetic constraints. By persisting and proliferating in vivo, CAR-T cells can offer a tailored and precise therapeutics. This paper reviewed preclinical experiments and clinical trials involving CAR-T and CAR-related therapies in various autoimmune diseases, incorporating innovations well-studied in the field of hematological tumors, aiming to explore a safe and effective therapeutic option for relapsed/refractory autoimmune diseases.

Chronic pancreatitis(CP)is a progressive fibroinflammatory disease characterized by destruction of pancreatic aci-nar cells,infiltration of inflammatory cells,activation of pancreatic stellate cell(PSC),and pancreatic fibrosis.Autophagy partici-pates in the maintenance of cell homeostasis.Recent studies have shown that autophagy closely related to the occurrence and develop-ment of CP.However,several autophagy types in the pancreatic microenvironment play different roles in the progression of CP.The autophagy of acinar cells has a"double-edged sword"effect.PSC autophagy is positively correlated with its activation,while the role of autophagy of inflammatory cells is still unclear.This study focused on some key cells in the CP microenvironment and explored the role and mechanism of autophagy in the progression of CP.

Objective To develop the assessment scale of proactive health behavior ability for the disabled elderly in nursing homes and to test its reliability and validity.Methods The first draft of the scale was formed by literature review,qualitative interviews and Delphi method.From December 2023 to March 2024,525 disabled elderly people from 9 nursing homes in Sichuan Province and Chongqing City were selected as the survey subjects,and item analysis and reliability and validity test were carried out on the scale.30 disabled elderly people were re-investigated after 2 weeks to calculate the retest reliability of the scale.Results The scale consisted of 4 dimensions and 27 items.Exploratory factor analysis extracted 4 common factors,with the cumulative vanance contribution rate of 65.992％,and confirmatory factor analysis showed that the modified model fitting index was within acceptable range.The content validity index at item level was 0.917-1.000,and that at scale level was 0.997.The Cronbach's α coefficient,test-retest reliability and split-half reliability of the total scale were 0.944,0.997 and 0.882,respectively.Conclusion The scale has good reliability and validity,and it can be used to evaluate the proactive health behavior ability of the disabled elderly in nursing homes.

Objective To investigate the effect and clinical efficacy of dapagliflozin on homocysteine(Hcy),uric acid(UA),and cystatin C(Cys C)in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)complicated by nephropathy and hypertension.Methods A total of 292 patients diag-nosed with T2DM nephropathy and hypertension admitted to our hospital between December 2022 and June 2023 were retrospectively recruited,and based on their medication regimens,they were divided into dapagliflozin group(147 cases)and control group(145 cases).After all of them were followed up for 3 months,the serum levels of Hcy,UA,cys C,urinary microalbumin/urinary creatinine ratio(UACR),estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR),and other metabolism-related indicators were measured and compared before and after treatment.Pearson correlation analysis was used to determine the correlation between Hcy and UA,while logistic regression analysis was employed to identify risk factors for proteinuria among the patients with T2DM ne-phropathy and hypertension.Results After treatment,the BMI,SBP,DBP,FBG,glycosylated Hb,TC,TG,LDL-C,UA,Cys C,Hcy,insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR),and UACR were all decreased in comparison to their levels before treatment(P＜0.05).Dapagliflozin treatment resul-ted in more significant declines in BM1,FBG,LDL-C,UA,Cys C,Hcy,HOMA-IR,and UACR when compared with the control group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Pearson correlation analysis revealed that the relationship between Hcy and UA was positively correlated across the entire population(r=0.560,P＜0.01),as well as among males(r=0.510,P＜0.01)and females(r=0.640,P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified female gender,diabetic peripheral neu-ropathy,TC,eGFR,and Hcy ≥15 μmol/L as independent risk factors for proteinuria among eld-erly patients with T2DM nephropathy and hypertension(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Conclusion Dapa-gliflozin,a novel antidiabetic agent,may offer further renal protection by lowering Hcy and UA levels in patients with T2DM nephropathy and hypertension.It can potentially decelerate the pro-gression of proteinuria and improve patient's outcomes.

Objective To investigate the effect of early combined use of liraglutide on cardiometa-bolic risk factors and prognosis in patients with T2DM and CMVD.Methods A total of 124 T2DM patients with concomitant CMVD admitted in our hospital from May 2021 to June 2023 were enrolled,and divided into the liraglutide group(n=59)and the non-liraglutide group(n=65)according to taking liraglutide or not.The main observation indicators were compared between the two groups,including cardiometabolic risk factors,such as Hcy,UA,FPG,eGFR,HbA1c,hs-CRP,WC,BMI,WWI,and echocardiographic indicators,such as LAD,LVEDD,LVPWT,IVST,E/e',e',LVEF,LAVI,LVMI,and RWT.And the incidence of adverse reactions and read-mission rates were recorded during follow-up.Results After treatment,in the liraglutide group,Hcy,UA,FPG,HbA1c,hs-CRP,WC,BMI,WWI,E/e',LAVI,LVMI,RWT,IVST and LVPWT values,and anteroposterior,transverse and long diameters of left atrium were all lower than before treatment,and eGFR and e'value were increased(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),and no significant difference was seen in LVEF and LVEDD(P＞0.05).The non-liraglutide group obtained lower HbA1c,FPG,BMI,E/e'and LAVI values,and transverse diameter of left atrium,elevated LVPWT and e'value(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),and no obvious changes in Hcy,UA,eGFR,hs-CRP,WC,WWI,BMI,LVEF,LVMI,RWT,LVEDD,IVST,and anteroposterior and long diameters of left atrium when compared with the indicators before treatment(P＞0.05).At the end of the fol-low-up,when compared with the non-liraglutide group,the liraglutide group had more significant decreases in E/e',LAVI,LVMI and RWT values and increase in e'value(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),and higher total effective rates(94.92％vs 72.31％,P＜0.01).What's more,the readmission rate due to adverse cardiovascular events was notably lower in the liraglutide group and the non-liraglutide group(3.39％vs 15.38％,P＜0.05).Conclusion Compared with BMI,WWI may be more sensi-tive in reflecting changes in cardiometabolic risk factors in T2DM patients with CMVD;Early combined application of liraglutide has good efficacy and safety,and exerts multiple cardiovascular protective effects,including reducing cardiometabolic risk factors,improving cardiac diastolic function and renal function,inhibiting chronic inflammation and decreasing the occurrence of ad-verse cardiovascular events in the patients.

Objective:To explore the differential efficacies of conventional chemotherapy, autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for T lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) .Method:From January 2012 to December 2022, the relevant clinical data were retrospectively reviewed for 82 T-LBL patients hospitalized at Affiliated Tongji Hospital. According to different treatments, they were assigned into two groups of non-transplantation (49 cases) and transplantation (33 cases). The transplantation group was divided further into two groups of allo-HSCT (22 cases) and auto-HSCT (11 cases) according to different transplantation modes. In non-transplantation group, remission was induced mostly by cyclophosphamide+messosodium+doxorubicin+dexamethasone+vincrine/methotrexate+Hyper CAVD A/B. Six patients achieved remission based upon cyclophosphamide+cytarabine+6-mercaptopurine (CAT), etoposide+vincristine+doxorubicin+cyclophosphamide+cyclophosphamide+ prednisone (EPOCH), high-dose methotrexate+dexamethasone and vincristine+pirubicin+ cyclophosphamide+ pemasase+prednisone (VDCLP). The transplantation group underwent HSCT after multi-drug combination intensive induction therapy. Efficacy and survival were analyzed by observing the rates of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) .Result:There were 64 males and 18 females with a median age of 23 (11~74) year. Among them, 62 cases (75.61%) had clinical stage Ⅲ~Ⅳ. And 43 cases (53.44%) had systemic symptoms (B symptom) of fever, night sweats and weight loss at an onset of disease. Fifty cases (61.00%) had an involvement of bone marrow and 33 cases (80.5%) belonged to Ann Arbor stage Ⅲ and above. There were 65 cases (79.27%) with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score ≤2 and 17 cases (20.73%) with ECOG score >2. International Prognostic Index (IPI) was ≤3 (63 cases, 76.83%) and >3 (19 cases, 23.17%). Follow-up period was 27.5 (5~118) month. And 3-year OS and PFS were 53.64% (95% CI: 42.35%~64.62%) and 47.56% (95% CI: 36.53%~58.82%). Significant inter-group difference existed in 3-year OS[42.86% (95% CI: 29.12%~57.71%) vs 69.70% (95% CI: 51.13%~83.79%), P=0.014]and 3-year PFS was 38.76% (95% CI: 25.54%~53.76%) and 60.61% (95% CI: 42.24%~76.57%). And the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.032) . Conclusion:As a consolidation therapy, HSCT may improve the long-term outcomes of T-LBL patients as compared with chemotherapy alone.

Objective:To investigate the factors influencing the decision to delivery interval (DDI) in emergency cesarean section in Guangzhou and the impact of DDI on maternal-infant outcomes.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on clinical data of pregnant women who underwent emergency cesarean section at municipal and district maternal and child health hospitals in Guangzhou city in 2021. Per the classification method of emergency cesarean section and recommendations for DDI provided by National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence guidelines, these subjects were classified into Category Ⅰ and Category Ⅱ cesarean sections. Each category was further divided into two subgroups based on DDI: the Category Ⅰ group into >30 min and ≤30 min subgroups, and the Category Ⅱ group into >75 min and ≤75 min subgroups. Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test, two independent samples t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and logistic regression were used to analyze the potential factors influencing DDI and the impact of DDI on maternal-infant outcomes. Results:(1) Totally 502 women underwent urgent cesarean section, including 304 (60.6%) Category Ⅰ and 198 (39.4%) Category Ⅱ, were analyzed. Among the Category Ⅰ group, 30.3% (92/304) achieved a DDI of ≤30 min, while 37.4% (74/198) of Category Ⅱ cases had a DDI of ≤75 min. (2) For the Category Ⅰ cases, multivariate logistic regression showed that more patients under intravertebral anesthesia, than those under general anesthesia, had a DDI >30 min ( OR=14.04, 95% CI: 6.14-32.10) as well as more with ward-based emergencies than those with delivery room emergencies ( OR=3.21, 95% CI: 1.72-6.00, both P=0.001). Among the Category Ⅱ cases, logistic regression revealed that cesarean section during routine working hours was more likely to achieve DDI >75 min than that during resting hours ( OR=3.93, 95% CI: 2.03-7.63, P=0.001). The risk of DDI >75 min was higher in tertiary maternal and child health hospitals compared with secondary maternal and child health hospitals ( OR=2.45, 95% CI: 1.06-5.70, P=0.037). (3) Among the Category Ⅰ cases, compared with the DDI ≤30 min group, the DDI >30 min group had a lower risk of neonatal Apgar score ≤7 at 1 min ( OR=0.31, 95% CI: 0.14-0.69, P=0.004), but there was no significant difference in the risk of neonatal Apgar score ≤7 at 5 min ( OR=0.21, 95% CI: 0.04-1.17) or neonatal asphyxia ( OR=0.32, 95% CI: 0.07-1.44) between the two subgroups. In cases of Category Ⅱ cesarean sections, there was no significant difference in any maternal-infant outcomes between DDI ≤75 min and DDI >75 min subgroups. Conclusions:The location of emergency and types of anesthesia are the influencing factors of DDI for Category Ⅰ cesarean sections, while the operation time and level of maternal and child health hospital are the influencing factors of DDI for Category Ⅱ cesarean sections. We did not find any impact of DDI on maternal or infant outcome.
