ObjectiveTo evaluate the pregnancy outcomes of assisted reproductive technology （ART） in women with a history of thyroid cancer who retained fertility intentions after completing cancer treatment. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed on 61 patients with a history of thyroid cancer who underwent in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm microinjection and embryo transfer （IVF/ICSI-ET）. These patients were included as the case group. A total of 122 non-cancer patients who received ART during the same period were selected as the control group using 1∶2 matching based on age and oocyte retrieval time. Baseline characteristics， outcomes of the first ART cycle， and cumulative pregnancy outcomes were compared between the two groups. ResultsThere was no significant difference in the basic data， the total amount of gonadotropin （Gn） and the days of use between the case group and the control group （P>0.05）. However， the case group had significantly fewer retrieved oocytes， mature oocytes （MII）， lower fertilization and cleavage rates， and fewer transferable and high-quality embryos， as well as fewer embryos transferred during the first cycle （P < 0.05）. However， there was no significant difference in the rate of first embryo implantation and first clinical pregnancy between the two groups （P>0.05）. In the analysis of cumulative outcomes， the two groups did not show statistically significant differences in the cumulative pregnancy rate， clinical pregnancy rate per transfer cycle， the number of oocyte retrieval cycles required per live birth， the number of embryo transfer cycles required per live birth， and the number of embryos used for each live birth （P>0.05）. However， the cumulative live birth rate was significantly lower in the case group compared to the control group （P=0.005）. ConclusionAfter treatment for thyroid cancer， when ART is used to help pregnant women， the pregnancy outcome is comparable to that of women without tumors. Individualized reproductive management and timely fertility preservation strategies are recommended to optimize reproductive outcomes in this population.

Objective The aim of the study is to analyze the incidence patterns and epidemiological characteristics of parasitic and vector-borne diseases in the Minhang and Jinshan districts of Shanghai, and provide evidence-based information for optimizing prevention and control measures. Methods We collected information from epidemic reports and epidemiological investigation forms for cases of parasitic and vector-borne diseases from 2005 to 2024 in Shanghai's Minhang and Jinshan districts. Descriptive epidemiological method were adopted to conduct a comparative analysis of incidence trends, epidemic characteristics, and infection sources. Results A total of 229 cases in 7 categories were reported between 2005 and 2024, with an average annual incidence rate of 0.36/100 000. The average annual incidence rate in Minhang District was significantly higher than that in Jinshan District. The most prevalent diseases were malaria and dengue fever, followed by Japanese encephalitis. Monthly case reports were available, predominantly from June to October, with a peak in July-August. A statistically significant difference was observed between the two districts in case distribution during June-October (P＜0.001), whereas no significant difference was found for July-August (P=0.331). The majority of cases were young men (111/229,48.47%), aged 20-39 years. Migrant workers/farmers constituted the largest occupational group (55/229, 24.02%). Registered residents of other provinces and cities (147/229,64.19%), and the main source of infection was overseas importation (112/229,48.91%). There were no statistically significant differences in gender and household-registration composition between the two districts (P＞0.05). Significant differences existed in age, occupation, and source of infection (P＜0.05). The imported diseases were malaria and dengue fever, with Africa and Southeast Asia being the primary source locations. Malaria was the predominant disease imported from other provinces and cities, with cases having been imported from abroad since 2012. Local infections were mainly Japanese encephalitis, followed by malaria (with the last local case reported in 2010). Cases between 2005 and 2009 were predominantly imported from other provinces and cities. The proportion of cases imported from abroad increased sharply after 2010, particularly in Minhang District. Local infections sometimes arise in Jinshan District, with Japanese encephalitis serving as the primary type. Conclusions Incidence rates of parasitic and vector-borne diseases in Minhang and Jinshan districts have generally remained low. To further reduce this disease burden, it will be necessary to strengthen joint measures for prevention and control, eliminate the environmental risk factors of vector organisms, enhance monitoring and precise control of the environment and inbound personnel to prevent the occurrence and transmission of parasitic and vector-borne diseases.

Objective To construct a model combining with traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome for predicting the risk of disease progression in patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy(IMN)by machine learning methods,thus to quantitatively evaluating the value of TCM syndrome in the prediction of the risk of disease progression in IMN.Methods Monofactor analysis,recursive feature elimination(RFE)and multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis were used to screen the independent related factors affecting the risk of disease progression of IMN,and then a risk prediction model was constructed.A total of 102 patients with IMN were randomly assigned to the training set and the test set in a ratio of 65∶35,and then the comparison was conducted in the performance indicators of accuracy,sensitivity,specificity,F1 value,and area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)area under the curve(AUC)of the risk prediction model with or without the inclusion of the TCM syndrome information.Results Before the inclusion of TCM syndrome information,12 clinical characteristic variables for patients with MN were obtained after monofactor analysis combined with RFE screening,and they were age,hemoglobin quantification,urinary occult blood,24-hour urine protein quantification,urine protein-creatinine ratio,estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR),creatinine,uric acid,alanine transaminase,anti-phospholipase A2 receptor antibody(PLA2R-Ab),total cholesterol,and low-density lipoprotein cholesterd.A risk cholesterol prediction model containing the above variables was constructed.The multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis showed that the differences of the clinical variables mentioned above between the training-set group and test-set group were statistically significant,and the risk prediction model presented good sensitivity and predictability.Monofactor analysis combined with RFE screening was performed again after the inclusion of TCM syndrome information,and then 14 variables were obtained,which included blood stasis syndrome and dampness obstruction syndrome.The sensitivity and specificity of the model with the inclusion of the TCM syndrome information were significantly improved when compared with those without the inclusion of TCM syndrome information.Conclusion The results of the study initially indicate that TCM syndrome can be used as an important supplementary variable for predicting the risk of disease progression in IMN,and will provide a reference for intelligent diagnosis through the integration of traditional Chinese and western medicine information,and will supply the guidance for the treatment of IMN with TCM.

Objective To explore the mechanism by which the sanguis draconis flavones(SDF)regulates the reactive oxygen species(ROS)/thioredoxin-interacting protein(TXNIP)pathway to mediate cell pyroptosis and improve cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury(CIRI)in rats.Methods The experimental rats were randomly divided into the control group(Ctrl),the CIRI group,the low-dose SDF group(SDF-L),the high-dose SDF group(SDF-H),and the SDF-H+ROS/TXNIP pathway activator,trimethylamine oxide(TMAO)group(SDF-H+TMAO).Among them,except for the control group,the remaining rats all needed to establish the CIRI rat model by the modified suture method.Zea Longa scoring was performed on rats from each group.ELISA was used to detect the levels of serum inflammatory factors interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-18 and oxidative stress-related factors superoxide dismutase(SOD),malondialdehyde(MDA),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px).Flow cytometry was used to measure the ROS levels.Cerebral edema was detected.Cerebral infarction was detected by 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride(TTC)staining.HE staining was used to detect the pathological changes of brain tissue.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of pyrolytic effector protein dermolin D(GSDMD).Western blotting was used to detect the expression of proteins related to the ROS/TXNIP pathway.Results Compared with the control group,a large area of cerebral infarctions were observed in the brain tissue of the CIRI group,accompanied by mild hemorrhage and obvious infiltration of inflammatory cells.Neuronal cells underwent degeneration and necrosis,with sparse and disordered arrangement.The phenomena of nuclear condensation and nucleolus lysis were obvious.The Zea Longa score,cerebral infarction volume,brain tissue water content,levels of IL-1β,IL-18,ROS,MDA,and the expressions of GSDMD,TXNIP,nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3),apoptosis-related punctate protein(ASC),and Caspase-1 increased,while the activities of SOD and GSH-Px decreased(P＜0.05).Compared with the CIRI group,the pathological damage of brain tissues in the SDF-L group and the SDF-H group was significantly improved.The Zea Longa score,cerebral infarction volume,brain tissue water content,levels of IL-1β,IL-18,ROS,MDA,and the expressions of GSDMD,TXNIP,NLRP3,ASC,and Caspase-1 decreased.The activities of SOD and GSH-Px increased(P＜0.05);TMAO treatment partially reversed the improvement effect of SDF on CIRI in rats.Conclusion SDF ameliorates cerebral CIRI in rats by inhibiting ROS/TXNIP pathway-mediated pyroptosis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the intervention effects and mechanisms of the flavonoid hyperoside （Hyp） on lipopolysaccharide （LPS）-induced inflammation in the zebrafish model. MethodsZebrafish larvae were either microinjected with 0.5 g·L^-1 LPS or immersed in 1 g·L^-1 LPS for the modeling of inflammation. The larvae were then treated with Hyp at 25， 50， and 100 mg·L^-1 through immersion for four consecutive days. The inflammatory phenotypes were assessed by analyzing the mortality rate， malformation rate， body length， and yolk sac area ratio. Behavioral tests were conducted to evaluate the inflammatory stress responses， and macrophage migration was observed by fluorescence microscopy. Additionally， the mRNA levels of inflammation-related genes， including interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， chemokine C-C motif ligand 2 （CCL2）， chemokine C-X3-C motif receptor 1 （CX3CR1）， chemokine C-C motif receptor 2 （CCR2）， and genes associated with the Toll-like receptor 4 （TLR4）/myeloid differentiation factor 88 （MyD88）/nuclear factor-kappa B （NF-κB） signaling pathway， were measured by Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction（Real-time PCR）. ResultsCompared with the pure water injection group， the model group exhibited increased mortality， malformation rates and yolk sac area ratio （P0.01）， reduced body length （P0.01）， increased total swimming distance and high-speed swimming duration （P0.01）， and up-regulated mRNA levels of TLR4， MyD88， NF-κB， IL-1β， IL-6， CCL2， CX3CR1， and CCR2 （P0.01）. Hyp at low， medium and high doses， as well as aspirin， reduced the mortality and malformation rates （P0.05，P0.01）， increased the body length （P0.05，P0.01）， decreased the yolk sac area ratio （P0.01）， reduced the high-speed swimming duration （P0.01）， and down-regulated the mRNA levels of TLR4， MyD88， NF-κB， IL-1β， IL-6， CCL2， CX3CR1， and CCR2 （P0.05，P0.01） compared with the model group. ConclusionHyp may modulate the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway to ameliorate inflammatory phenotypes and alleviate stress conditions in zebrafish， thereby exerting the anti-inflammatory effect.

Objective:To improve the understanding of pediatric acute promyelocytic leukemia with TTMV::RARA fusion gene positive caused by torque teno mini virus (TTMV).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of a patient with relapsed TTMV::RARA fusion gene-positive acute promyelocytic leukemia who was admitted to Children's Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University in July 2024, and literature review was conducted.Results:The patient was a girl with the age of 5 years and 7 months. She presented with joint pain and fever. Combined with bone marrow cell morphology and whole transcriptome sequencing, she was diagnosed with TTMV::RARA fusion gene-positive acute promyelocytic leukemia. After induction therapy with regimens such as retinoic acid +daunorubicin+cytarabine and retinoic acid+venetoclax+homoharringtonine, the joint pain was relieved, but the primary disease did not improve. Subsequently, there was no regular treatment. One year later, the disease recurred and was complicated with severe infection. Her condition improved following anti-infection and induction therapy.Conclusions:TTMV::RARA fusion gene-positive pediatric acute promyelocytic leukemia is a special type of acute promyelocytic leukemia caused by the insertion of viral sequences from TTMV infection. It is rare in clinical practice and difficult to treat, and the overall prognosis may be poor.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

To evaluate the diagnostic performance of a three-gene (GBP5, DUSP3, and TBP) tuberculosis (TB) score in bacteriologically-negative pulmonary tuberculosis, and to develop and validate a discriminative diagnostic model by integrating inflammatory cytokines (IL-2, IL-5, IL-17, and IFN-γ). A prospective cohort study was conducted, a total of 238 patients admitted to the Affiliated Infectious Disease Hospital of Soochow University from May 2023 to May 2024 were enrolled, including 119 pathogen-negative pulmonary tuberculosis patients and 119 patients with other pulmonary diseases (OPD). The GeneXpert MTB-HR kit was used to detect the three-gene TB scores from residual blood routine samples. The diagnostic performance was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Concurrent data on 12 inflammatory cytokines were collected from patients. Potential biomarkers were screened using univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression, and selected features were incorporated into the construction of four machine learning models: logistic regression, support vector machine (SVM), K-nearest neighbors (KNN), and adaptive boosting (AdaBoost). The samples were randomly split into a training set (85%) and a test set (15%). The models were trained on the training set, and their diagnostic performance was validated using the test set. The predictive ability of each model was evaluated based on ROC curve parameters. The results showed that the three-gene TB score alone yielded an AUC of 0.539 (sensitivity: 50.94%, specificity: 60.50%) in distinguishing pathogen-negative pulmonary tuberculosis from OPD. Four non-col-linear inflammatory factors (IL-2, IL-5, IL-17, and IFN-γ) were selected and combined with the three-gene TB score to construct machine learning models. The AdaBoost model demonstrated the best performance, achieving an AUC of 0.893 (sensitivity: 85.4%, specificity: 73.0%) in the training set and an AUC of 0.873 (sensitivity: 88.2%, specificity: 72.2%) in the test set. In conclusion,the AdaBoost diagnostic model integrating the three-gene TB score with inflammatory factors (IL-2, IL-5, IL-17, and IFN-γ) exhibits superior discriminating performance for pathogen-negative pulmonary tuberculosis compared to OPD, significantly outperforming the three-gene TB score alone.

Objective:To investigate the effects of CO2 intracavitary laser combined with pelvic floor magnetic stimulation on surface electromyography(sEMG)values and pelvic floor three-dimensional ultrasound parameters in female patients with stress urinary incontinence(SUI).Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 92 female SUI patients treated at the outpatient department of Meizhou People's Hospital from October 2021 to July 2023.The patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group(n=46 each)using a random number table.Both groups received home-based pelvic floor muscle training.The control group additionally received pelvic floor magnetic stimulation,while the observation group was treated with CO2 intracavitary laser combined with pelvic floor magnetic stimulation.The urinary leakage status,treatment efficacy,pelvic floor muscle sEMG,pelvic floor three-dimensional ultrasound parameters,quality of life,and sexual quality of life were compared between the two groups.Assessments included the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form(ICIQ-SF),the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-Short Form(IIQ-7),and the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire(PISQ-12).Results:1-hour leakage volume:0 g(observation group)vs.3 g(control group),24-hour leakage episodes:0 times(observation group)vs.0 times(control group),the observed differences were statistically significant(Z=-2.866,-2.355,P<0.05).Total effective rate:95.65%(observation)vs.58.70%(control),the observed differences were statistically significant(x2=4.083,P<0.05).Pelvic floor muscle sEMG(after treatment):Maximal fast contraction:(40.78±3.28)μV(observation)vs.(35.17±5.10)μV(control),Mean tonic contraction:(31.56±4.20)μV(observation)vs.(25.87±3.82)μV(control),Mean endurance contraction:(29.34±2.58)μV(observation)vs.(25.37±2.67)μV(control),all differences between the two groups were statistically significant(t=2.736,19.919,3.025,15.426,P<0.05).After treatment,both groups showed reductions in bladder neck descent(BND)during Valsalva maneuver,bladder-symphysis distance(BSD),urethral rotation angle(URA),and posterior vesicourethral angle(RVA).However,the observation group demonstrated significantly greater reductions compared to the control group(post-treatment data:observation group(24.30±3.21)mm,(2.34±0.23)mm,(56.40±5.87)°,(89.54±9.21)°;control group(26.21±3.48)mm,(3.57±0.35)mm,(60.29±6.45)°,(126.71±13.50)°.These differences were statistically significant(t=2.736,19.919,3.025,15.426,P<0.05).Similarly,both groups exhibited decreased scores on the ICIQ-SF and IIQ-7 scales,along with increased scores on the PISQ-12.Again,the observation group showed superior improvement,with statistically significant differences(t=11.478,13.168,6.631,P<0.05).Conclusion:On the basis of pelvic floor muscle training,CO2 intracavitary laser therapy combined with pelvic floor magnetic stimulation can effectively alleviate urinary incontinence symptoms in patients with female stress urinary incontinence(FSUI),enhance therapeutic efficacy,improve pelvic floor muscle strength and the stability of pelvic support structures,and promote quality of life and sexual function.

With the rapid evolution of medical information technology, internet hospitals had become an integral part of China′s healthcare service system and could play a unique role in multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment (MDT). In 2023, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital built a smart service platform for MDT based on its internet hospital under the design concept of " global collaboration, process re-engineering, and smart empowerment", and officially launched in November of the same year. The platform included a five-tier architectur: user interaction, application services, data management, system integration and infrastructure, and embeds functional modules such as consultation management, an AI-assisted engine and a workflow engine. This platform covered Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital Group members, implemented an online-offline integrated, end-to-end workflow (pre-intra-post consultation). It realized the integration and utilization of high-quality medical resources across regions and institutions, and improved the quality and efficiency of MDT. As of December 2024, the platform had covered 30 specialties and completed 75 MDT consultations. The consultation cycle had been shortened from the traditional MDT mode of 14.2 days to 2.4 days, effectively reducing the number of patients traveling to and from the hospital. This platform had expanded the business scope of internet hospitals, improved the utilization rate of medical resources, and could provide references for other public hospitals in China to optimize the MDT service mode.
