The recombinant human thyroid-stimulating hormone (rhTSH) can be used for differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) preparation before ¹³¹I therapy, and follow-up. Since its approval by the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1998, rhTSH has been clinically used in European countries, the United States, and other countries for nearly 30 years. In April 2024, China’s first independently developed rhTSH agent was approved. Based on clinical experience and evidence from domestic and international studies, an expert consensus on the application of rhTSH has been developed following thorough consultations among experts. The consensus offers evidence-based recommendations to guide the appropriate use of rhTSH in clinical practice.

Object:To explore the feasibility of using artificial intelligence for quality control of echocardiographic images.Methods:Retrospectively，5 000 two-dimensional echocardiographic video images within the period from 2021 to 2023 were randomly retrieved from the echocardiography database of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital，Affiliated Hospital of Medical School，Nanjing University. Among these selected images，1 559 of them were apical views. The physician team formulated the scoring rules，which specifically included four scoring criteria：gain，scaling ratio，cardiac axis angle，and structure. Subsequently，the data were labeled with view classification and image quality scores. The labeled data were further partitioned into the training set（ n = 643），the validation set（ n = 276），and the test set（ n = 640）. The training and validation sets were utilized for constructing the models for view classification and quality assessment，while the test set was employed to verify the models' effectiveness. The view classification module was implemented using the SlowFast model，and the quality assessment module involved algorithms such as ResNet，Video Swin Transformer，SSD，and U-Net. Results:The average accuracy，precision，recall rate and F1 score of the classification model in identifying each apical view were 0.987 1，0.983 0，0.987 1 and 0.984 9 respectively，and the inference time was（333.4 ± 105.4）ms. The average accuracies of the quality assessment module in terms of gain，scaling ratio，cardiac axis angle and display of main structures were 0.915 1，0.928 2，0.938 7 and 0.965 6 respectively，and the overall scoring accuracy was 0.912 7.Conclusions:The echocardiogram quality control system developed in this research can effectively classify and evaluate the quality of two-dimensional images of the apical views in echocardiograms. Moreover，it guarantees the objectivity，timeliness and high-efficiency of quality control，which has reference value for the establishment of the echocardiogram quality control system.

An ion chromatography method was developed for detection of nine kinds of trace organic amines(Methylamine,dimethylamine,trimethylamine,ethylamine,diethylamine,triethylamine,n-propylamine,n-butylamine,and ethanolamine)and six kinds of trace water-soluble inorganic cations(Li+,Na+,NH4+,K+,Ca2+,and Mg2+)in atmospheric fine particulate matter(PM2.5)in this wok.Various chromatographic columns(IonPac CS12,IonPac CS17 and IonPac CS19)were compared in terms of their separation efficiency for target analytes,and IonPac CS19 column was ultimately selected.Through meticulous optimization of the column temperature,a low temperature condition of 20℃was found to achieve the highest separation efficiency(All are above 1),effectively separating all 15 kinds of target analytes.Under the optimal analytical conditions inculding methanesulfonic acid(MSA)as eluent,100 μL of injection volume,column temperature at 20℃and eluent at flow rate of 1 mL/min,the detection limits of this method ranged from 0.05 to 7.15 μg/L,the quantification limits were 0.16-23.82 μg/L,and the spiking recoveries were 84%-105%.The proposed method exhibited high accuracy and excellent reproducibility,and was suitable for concurrent analysis and measurement of organic amines and water-soluble inorganic cations in PM2.5.

This study aims to analyze the screening results and epidemiological characteristics of prostate cancer (PCa) among elderly males in the rural areas of Songjiang, Shanghai City, through the implementation of a preliminary prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening based on a community-linkage model, and to explore an effective screening approach. A retrospective observational study design was employed to collect data from residents who underwent PSA screening at Songjiang Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, in collaboration with multiple community health service centers in Songjiang District, Shanghai City, between June 2022 and June 2024, through free clinics and annual health examinations. Prostate biopsy was recommended for individuals with total PSA (tPSA) levels >10 ng/ml and those with 4 ng/ml≤tPSA≤10 ng/ml and abnormal free-to-total PSA (f/tPSA) ratios. Clinical characteristics of detected PCa patients were analyzed. Follow-up was conducted through phone calls and home visits by family doctors, coupled with enhanced health education. The results indicated that a total of 17 198 residents participated in the screening, among which 2 234 (12.99%) had tPSA levels between 4 ng/ml and 10 ng/ml, and 257 (1.49%) had tPSA levels >10 ng/ml. Ultimately, 417 residents underwent prostate biopsy, with 171 being diagnosed with PCa, yielding a positive biopsy rate of 41.00% and a PCa detection rate of 0.99%. The predominant pathological subtype among PCa patients was adenocarcinoma (168 cases, 98.24%). Of the 146 PCa patients who received treatment, the majority were classified as intermediate or high-risk (124 cases, 84.93%). Furthermore, with the optimization of the screening model, there was a significant increase in the proportion of subsequent outpatient visits. In conclusion, the community-linkage-based PSA screening model demonstrated high effectiveness in screening for PCa among elderly males in the rural areas of Songjiang, Shanghai City. Epidemiological findings revealed that PCa patients in this region are primarily composed of intermediate and high-risk groups, highlighting the need for intensified early screening and health education.

Objective To explore the association between psychological resilience and internet addiction among senior primary school students,so as to provide a scientific basis for formulating strategies for preventing internet addiction and enhancing psychological resilience in this group.Methods A stratified cluster sampling method was employed.In May 2021,a total of 1 618 fourth-and fifth-grade students from 5 primary schools in Jiading District,Shanghai were surveyed on psychological resilience and internet addiction through questionnaires.Independent sample t-tests,chi-square tests,and Logistic regression models were used for data analysis.Results Among the 1 618 students,the prevalence rate of internet addiction was 8.8%(142 students).The total score of psychological resilience(t=6.215,P<0.001)and the scores of three dimensions,namely family support(t=3.509,P<0.001),goal focus(t=6.965,P<0.001),and positive perception(t=5.887,P<0.001),of those reported with internet addiction were all significantly lower than those without internet addiction.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with individuals with low psychological resilience,those with moderate(aOR=0.395,95%CI:0.267-0.584,P<0.001)and high psychological resilience(aOR=0.167,95%CI:0.077-0.365,P<0.001)had a lower probability of internet addiction.The three sub-dimensions of psychological resilience,namely goal focus,positive perception and family support,also showed a statistically significant negative association with internet addiction in these students.Conclusion Nearly one-tenth senior primary school students in Jiading District self-reported internet addiction.Higher levels of psychological resilience were associated with a lower probability of internet addiction among senior primary school students.Focusing on enhancing the goal focus,positive perception and family support dimensions in psychological resilience may be of great significance for preventing internet addiction among senior primary school students.

Objective To explore the relationship between triglyceride-glucose(TyG)index and hypertension in patients with cerebral hemorrhage.Methods A total of 1718 patients with cere-bral hemorrhage admitted to our hospital from January,2013 to May,2023 were enrolled in this study.According to the TyG index quartile,437 cases were assigned into Q1 group(≤8.375),424 cases into Q2 group(TyG index 8.376～8.737),429 cases into Q3 group(TyG index 8.738～9.087),and 428 cases into Q4 group(≥9.088).The general clinical data were compared in the four groups.Logistic regression analysis was used to study the correlation between TyG index and hy-pertension.Results There were significant differences among the four groups in terms of age,hy-pertension,diabetes,SBP,DBP,TC,TG,HDL-C,LDL-C,FBG,glycated hemoglobin and TyG in-dex(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Logistic regression analysis showed that when the TyG index was a con-tinuous variable,it was significantly correlated with the risk of hypertension(OR=1.999,95％CI:1.393-2.869,P=0.001).When the index was used as a categorical variable,with Q1as a ref-erence,TyG index in Q3 and Q4 was associated with an increase in OR of hypertension(OR=1.869,95％CI:1.220-2.865,P=0.004;OR=1.844,95％CI:1.125-3.020,P=0.015).After ad-justing cofounders,the association of TyG index and risk of hypertension was stronger in the fe-males(OR=2.618,95％CI:1.312-5.221,P=0.006)than the males(OR=1.783,95％CI:1.151-2.761,P=0.010),and in the patients ≥65 years old(OR=3.277,95％CI:1.600-6.741,P=0.001)than those＜65 years old(OR=1.782,95％CI:1.076-2.949,P=0.025).Conclusion TyG index is closely associated with hypertension in patients with cerebral hemorrhage,especially in women and elderly.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of patients with extranasal NK/T-cell lymphoma(NKTCL).Methods:The clinical data of 138 patients with NKTCL diagnosed in 10 medical centers of Huaihai Lymphoma Working Group from June 2015 to April 2021 were collected and analyzed retrospectively.The differences in clinicopathological characteristics of patients with different involvement and efficacy of pegaspargase regimen were compared,as well as perform survival analysis.Results:A total of 138 extranasal NKTCL patients were included,with a median age of 46 years,and the ratio of males to females was approximately 2∶1.There were 39 patients with gastrointestinal involvement,32 patients with oropharyngeal involvement,17 patients with skin involvement,11 patients with lymph node involvement,11 patients with orbital involvement,and 28 patients with other parts involvement.Patients with skin involvement had a higher proportion of advanced disease and a lower proportion of CD56 positive rate compared to those with oropharyngeal involvement.Among the patients with gastrointestinal involvement,the survival rate of patients who received pegaspargase regimen was significantly higher than those who were treated without pegaspargase(P＜0.01).Multivariate analysis showed that serum creatinine was an independent prognostic factor for patients with skin involvement(HR=1.027,95％CI:1.001-1.054,P=0.040),ECOG PS and EBV DNA were independent prognostic factors for patients with gastrointestinal involvement(HR=2.635,95％CI:1.096-6.338,P=0.030;HR=4.772,95％CI:1.092-20.854,P=0.038),and ECOG PS and CA stage were independent prognostic factors for patients with oropharyngeal involvement(HR=13.875,95％CI:2.517-76.496,P=0.002;HR=20.261,95％CI:2.466-166.470,P=0.005).Conclusion:The clinicopathological characteristics of extranasal NKTCL patients with different sites of involvement are vary,and effective individualized treatment need to be further explored.

Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the epidemiology and trends of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in Weifang, China (2013–2021) and to guide prevention strategies. Methods: The study examined the prevalence and incidence trends of HFRS in Weifang (2013–2021). Spearman correlation and wavelet analysis were employed to explore variable relationships and their associations with HFRS incidence. Generalized additive models (GAMs)were used to identify key risk factors, while structural equation modeling (SEM) quantified direct and indirect pathways influencing HFRS transmission. Finally, Bayesian time-series models wereapplied to predict future HFRS risk. Results: Weifang reported 2,118 HFRS cases, which displayed distinct seasonality. Spearman correlation linked economic factors (gross domestic product [GDP], crop area, grain output, green space) and meteorological factors (temperature, pressure) to incidence (r > 0.8). Wavelet analysis identified Mus musculus (2013–2016) and Rattus norvegicus (2017–2021) as dominant reservoirs, with temperature, precipitation, and humidity correlating with incidence. GAMsrevealed a U-shaped relationship between rodent density and HFRS and an inverted U-shapedrelationship between temperature (threshold, 11.64 °C) and HFRS. SEM highlighted the direct and indirect effects of climate via rodent density, mirrored by economic factors (e.g., GDP). Bayesianmodels effectively predicted HFRS (root mean square error, 7.36; mean absolute percentage error, 0.28; R2 = 0.65). Conclusion Climate, economic, and anthropogenic factors drive the spread of HFRS. Preventionstrategies should integrate local economic conditions with meteorological and anthropogenicfactors. Bayesian time-series modeling effectively predicts HFRS trends, supporting precisionprevention strategies.

Objective:To establish a method to detect IDH2 gene mutations in the cell-free DNA (cfDNA) sample of angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) based on the digital droplet PCR (ddPCR) method. The performance of this method was evaluated.Methods:Specific primers and probes were designed for IDH2 p. R172K, IDH2 p. R172M, and IDH2 p. R172W mutations, and primer combinations were optimized to establish the optimal ddPCR reaction system. In addition, the accuracy, precision, specificity, and detection limit of the method were evaluated using clinical cfDNA samples obtained from 40 patients with AITL at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University.Results:The IDH2 R172K/M/W F2/R2 primer combination was selected to establish the ddPCR detection method for IDH2 R172K/M/W mutations. Specific standard samples showed no false-positive results. The accuracy test revealed that the relative deviation of the standard sample measurements was within ±10%. The detection limit test indicated that the method could detect 1 ng/μl with a 0.2% mutation rate for IDH2 R172K/M/W mutations. The precision measurements (inter-experimenter, inter-run, and inter-laboratory) all had a coefficient of variation of <5%. ddPCR was applied to 40 clinical samples with IDH2 R172K/M/W mutations, and the results were fully consistent with gene sequencing.Conclusion:ddPCR can detect IDH2 gene mutations in cfDNA from AITL with high sensitivity, specificity, and absolute quantification. This method offers a simple, rapid, and reliable approach for diagnosing and monitoring.

Objective:To explore the application effect of problem chain-based flipped classroom in the internship teaching of gastroenterology nursing students.Methods:A total of 101 nursing students who interned in the Department of Gastroenterology at The Second Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu Medical College from June 2022 to March 2024 were selected and divided into a control group ( n=51, traditional teaching) and a research group ( n=50, problem chain-based flipped classroom). The control group received traditional teaching methods of theoretical instruction + clinical practice. The research group received a teaching plan of "problem chain design + flipped classroom + multiple evaluation". The effectiveness was evaluated in four dimensions: theoretical assessment, operational skills, clinical ability, and teaching satisfaction. The Self-Rating Scale of Self-Directed Learning was used to assess self-directed learning ability. The data were subjected to t test, non-parametric test, and chi-square test using SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 24.0. The mediation effect was examined using structural equation modeling. Results:The research group scored higher than the control group in theoretical assessment [(92.10±6.33) vs. (80.41±9.34)], operational skills [(45.04±3.91) vs. (39.51±5.94)], and clinical ability [(52.64±5.51) vs. (45.50±7.42)] (all P<0.001). The teaching satisfaction scores showed that the research group of nursing students rated higher in clinical thinking cultivation [(4.41±0.62) vs. (3.82±0.69)] and team collaboration ability improvement [(4.28±0.59) vs. (3.91±0.64)] (both P<0.01), as compared to the control group. The total score of Self-Rating Scale of Self-Directed Learning [(227.93±18.47) vs. (214.54±19.86), P=0.001] and mediation effect analysis (indirect effect accounting for 29.44%) indicated that problem chain-based flipped classroom indirectly optimized teaching effectiveness by enhancing self-directed learning ability. Conclusions:The flipped classroom based on problem chain can effectively improve the theoretical level, operational skills, and clinical thinking ability of gastroenterology nursing students, and further optimize teaching effectiveness by enhancing self-learning and teamwork abilities, making it a teaching method worthy of promotion.
