Objective:To characterize the epidemiology of respiratory syndrome across healthcare facilities of different types and tiers in Beijing City, to compare pathogen-testing modalities and their associations with adverse outcomes, and to identify key factors associated with progression to severe illness, thereby informing regional prevention, control, and clinical optimization.Methods:The multicenter observational cohort study was performed using outpatient and emergency department data from five sentinel hospitals in Beijing (Beijing Xiaotangshan Hospital, Beijing Chaoyang District Shuangqiao Hospital, Beijing Haidian Hospital, Beijing You′an Hospital, Capital Medical University (Beijing You′an Hospital), and Beijing Ditan Hospital, Capital Medical University (Beijing Ditan Hospital)) from October 1st, 2023 to April 9th, 2025. Dual-target (two-plex) and triple-target (three-plex) respiratory specimens were collected. Demographic characteristics, visit information, pathogen-testing modalities and results were collected, and the epidemiologic features of patients who progressed to severe illness between the influenza high-incidence season (December to May) and the non-influenza season (June to November) were compared. Categorical variables were analyzed using the chi-square test. Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate associations between covariates and risk of progression to severe illness.Results:Among the 192 131 cases, patients visited at Beijing You′an Hospital were concentrated in the 16 to 44 year age group, accounting for 66.79%(32 532/48 708). Beijing Xiaotangshan Hospital had a broad age distribution, with older adults comprising up to 22.35% (885/3 960). Of the 47 349 respiratory specimens across the five hospitals, Beijing You′an Hospital had the highest positivity rate for dual-target testing (46.76%(1 585/3 390)), while Beijing Haidian Hospital conducted the largest number of this tests ( n=12 514). For triple-target testing, Beijing You′an Hospital again had the highest positivity rate (45.03%(2 835/6 296)), whereas Beijing Ditan Hospital tested the most specimens ( n=12 011; positivity rate was 29.73%(3 571/12 011)). The influenza season within the same period (November 2023 to January 2024) exhibited a bimodal pattern, with alternating circulation of influenza viruses and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Among 32 744 outpatients/emergency patients who progressed to severe illness, significant seasonal differences were observed by sex, age, comorbidity status, and infection type ( χ2=6.60, 189.24, 32.71 and 189.99, respectively; all P<0.05). After adjustment for sex, age group, comorbidities, and infection type, testing modality remained significantly associated with risk of progression (dual-target testing, odds ratio ( OR)=0.116, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 0.111 to 0.122, P<0.001); no testing, OR=0.063, 95% CI 0.060 to 0.065, P<0.001). Conclusions:The epidemiological pattern of respiratory pathogens undergo significant changes after October 2023, which is characterized by alternating waves of influenza viruses and SARS-CoV-2 with pronounced seasonality and diversity. Substantial inter-hospital differences are observed in testing modalities and positivity rates. Risk of progression to severe illness varies significantly by sex, age, comorbidity burden, and infection type, and is closely associated with the testing modality. These findings support strengthening multiplex pathogen testing and targeted surveillance of high-risk groups to improve early identification and precise control of febrile-respiratory syndromes.

Objective To analyze the clinical situation and related factors of subclinical hypothyroidism in patients with abnormal glucose metabolism, and to provide theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of subclinical hypothyroidism in patients with abnormal glucose metabolism. Methods A total of 428 patients with abnormal glucose metabolism who were treated in the Department of Endocrinology of Tianmen First People's Hospital from March 2018 to March 2020 were selected, and serum FT3, FT4 and TSH levels were determined by automatic immune analysis system. Automatic analyzer was used to measure the levels of FBG, HbA1c, TC, TG, LDL-C and UA. A self-made questionnaire was used to investigate the basic information of all subjects, including gender, age, abnormal course of glucose metabolism, BMI and blood pressure. The survey method was combined with telephone inquiry and field investigation. Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors for subhypothyroidism in patients with abnormal glucose metabolism. Results Among 428 patients with abnormal glucose metabolism, 89 patients were accompanied by subclinical hypothyroidism, including 39 males and 43 females, with an average age of (45.12±8.13) years. The prevalence of subhypothyroidism in females was higher than that in males, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=4.353 , P<0.05). There was no significant difference in serum FT3 and FT4 levels between the two groups (P>0.05). The serum TSH level in experimental group was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05). Univariate analysis showed statistically significant differences in age, gender, abnormal course of glucose metabolism, BMI, BMI, FBG, HbA1c, UA, TC, LDL-C and SBP between the two groups (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that old age, high levels of FBG, TC, SBP and UA were independent risk factors for subclinical hypothyroidism in patients with abnormal glucose metabolism (P<0.05). Conclusion The incidence rate of patients with abnormal glucose metabolism complicated with subclinical hypothyroidism is high. The biochemical indexes such as blood glucose, blood lipid, blood pressure and uric acid should be monitored regularly. The early regulation of glucose metabolism disorder is an effective way to prevent and treat subclinical hypothyroidism.

Objective:
To investigate the role of protein demethylase of lysine-specific demethylase 2 A(KDM2 A) in airway inflammation and remodeling in rats with bronchial asthma.
Methods:
Intraperitoneal injection of chicken ovalbumin(OVA) sensitized aerosol to stimulate the asthma rat model. Eighteen 6-8 weeks old SPF SD female rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, namely the control group, the asthma group for 4 weeks, and the asthma group for 8 weeks. After the success of the asthma model, the infiltration of inflammatory cells in the trachea and perivascular of the lung tissue was observed by HE staining; Goblet cell proliferation and mucus secretion were observed by PAS staining; Masson staining was used to observe the fibrosis of airway wall; The proliferation of airway smooth muscle was observed by fluorescence immunohistochemistry; The protein expression level of KDM2 A was detected by Western blot.
Results:
The inflammatory scores and inflammatory cell counts of rats in the asthma 4-week group and the asthma 8-week group were higher than those in the control group. There was a statistically significant difference in the above indicators between the asthma two groups(P<0.01). Compared with the control group, the proliferation of goblet cells and mucus secretion in the airway epithelium, the deposition of collagen fibers in the lung tissue and the proliferation of bronchial smooth muscle cells increased in the asthma groups(P<0.01). With the prolonged OVA sensitization time, airway inflammation and airway remodeling changes were more severe in the asthma 8-week group than those in the asthma 4-week group. The results of Western blot showed that the expression of KDM2 A in the lung tissues of the asthmatic 4-week group and the asthmatic 8-week group was higher than that of the control group, and the expression of KDM2 A in the asthma 8-week group was also higher than that of the asthma 4-week group. The differences were statistically significant(P<0.01). The expression of KDM2 A protein in lung tissue of rats in each group was positively correlated with airway inflammation score, total number of inflammatory cells, goblet cell mucus secretion score, lung tissue fibrosis ratio, and airway smooth muscle hyperplasia area(allP<0.01).
Conclusion
KDM2 A may play an important role in the pathogenesis of airway inflammation and airway remodeling in bronchial asthma.
