Objective:
To understand the epidemiological characteristics and disease burden of influenza like illness (ILI) among student populations, so as to provide data support for policy formulation and optimal allocation of health resources.
Methods:
From January 2024 to February 2025, a questionnaire survey was conducted among parents of kindergarten, primary school, junior and senior high school students in 9 districts of Shenzhen, including Longhua, Futian, Bao an, Longgang, Luohu, Nanshan, Guangming, Pingshan and Yantian. Parents were asked to complete the questionnaire based on whether their children had fever, cough, vomiting, diarrhea, rash and other common symptoms in 2024. A total of 3 537 parents were investigated, and 444 ILI cases were included as study subjects. The epidemiological burden, including incidence rate of influenza, visitation rate, years lived with disability (YLDs) and economic burden (including direct economic burden, indirect economic burden and intangible burden) were analyzed.
Results:
The incidence rate of influenza among students in Shenzhen in 2024 was 12.55%. The ILI incidence rates in kindergarten, primary school, junior and senior high school were 14.01%, 11.69% and 5.23%, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( χ 2= 45.20, P <0.01). The ILI consultation rate among students was 85.36%, and the consultation rates in kindergarten (87.36%) and primary school students (84.62%) were higher than those in junior and senior high school students ( 56.52 %) ( χ 2=16.47, P <0.01). A total of 78.88% of cases did not receive etiological detection.The median total economic burden per ILI case was 2 354.62 yuan, including direct medical costs of 300.00 yuan, direct non medical costs of 212.50 yuan, indirect costs of 1 000.00 yuan, and intangible burden of 500.00 yuan.
Conclusions
Schools are high risk environment for influenza, and younger students are a high risk group for ILI. The disease burden caused by student ILI remains substantial.

Objective To explore the molecular mechanism of Jianfu mixture in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) by network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques, and validate its core targets and mechanisms through in vitro experiments. Methods The active components and corresponding molecular targets of Jianfu mixture were searched by searching TCMSP and Batman-TCM databases, and the disease targets of ED were searched by using GeneCards database. Find the intersection of drug ingredient target and disease target. The interaction between intersected targets was described and analyzed by String database, and the analysis results were visualized by Cytoscape software to determine the core target and the corresponding active components. GO functional enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were performed for intersection targets; the core target within the intersection were found through MCODE plug-in on Cytoscape software and molecular docking was performed with the corresponding active ingredients. An endothelial dysfunction model was established by transfecting HUVECs with si-eNOS. Intervene with different concentrations of the Jianfu mixture for the model cells for 24 h. QPCR was used to detect mRNA expression of core targets (MAPK1, MAPK3, JUN, ESR1, MAPK8); Western blot was used to analyze protein expression (eNOS, JUN, p-JUN, MAPK, p-MAPK) and phosphorylation levels. Results 144 effective active components and 168 active components target-disease targe intersection of Jianfu mixture were obtained. GO analysis revealed 200 5 biological processes, 151 molecular functions, and 63 cellular components. KEGG analysis yielded 181 pathways. 5 core targets including MAPK1, MAPK3, JUN, ESR1 and MAPK8 were screened out. The active components such as β-sitosterol, kaempferol, astapterocarpan had good binding affinity with the core target. In vitro experiments confirmed successful construction of the endothelial dysfunction model (eNOS expression significantly decreased after si-eNOS transfection). Jianfu mixture dose-dependently inhibited mRNA expression of MAPK1, MAPK3, JUN, ESR1, and MAPK8. Additionally, it reduced phosphorylation levels of JUN and MAPK, indicating inhibition of the JNK/c-Jun and ERK/MAPK signaling pathways to improve endothelial function. Conclusion Jianfu mixture treats ED by suppressing abnormal activation of multi-target signaling pathways (MAPK/JUN/ESR1), reducing endothelial apoptosis, and promoting NO synthesis. This mechanism aligns with the traditional Chinese medicine principle of “activating blood circulation, resolving stasis, tonifying Qi, and strengthening cardiovascular function.” The study provided molecular-level evidence for the therapeutic efficacy of Jianfu mixture in ED management.

Objective: To investigate the precise detection methods for weak partial D type 15 and evaluate their implications for blood transfusion safety, along with the development of corresponding strategies. Methods: A combination of serological methods, including the microplate method, indirect antiglobulin tube method, and microcolumn gel card method, was employed to identify RhD-negative and RhD variant samples. RhD-negative samples were screened for the presence of RHD genes using whole-blood direct PCR amplification. Subsequently, RhD variant samples and RhD-negative samples containing RHD genes underwent full-coding-region sequencing of the RHD gene to confirm their genotypes. The genotyping results were further correlated with the serological test findings for comprehensive analysis. Results: Among 615 549 first-time healthy blood donors, 3 401 samples with an RhD-negative phenotype and 156 samples with RhD variant were identified. Of the 3 401 RhD-negative samples, 1 054 were found to harbor RHD genes. Gene sequencing analysis of the 156 RhD variants and the 1 054 serological negative samples revealed that 89 samples contained the RHD
15 (c. 845G>A) allele. Conclusion: The integration of serological testing methods and genotyping technologies for the precise determination of RhD blood type plays a critical role in ensuring the safety and compatibility of blood transfusions.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of Huoxue Rongluo prescription (HXRLP) in repairing the blood-brain barrier (BBB) after ischemic stroke (IS). MethodsMale C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into sham operation (Sham) group, cerebral infarction model (MCAO) group, environmental circadian disruption with cerebral infarction model (ECD-MCAO) group, low-, medium-, and high-dose HXRLP (HXRLP-L, M, and H) groups (8.5, 17, 34 g·kg-1·d-1, respectively), and positive drug butylphthalide (NBP) group (0.23 mL·d-1). In the Sham group, only the exposed blood vessels were isolated without suture insertion. In the other groups, the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model of mice was prepared. In the ECD-MCAO group, HXRLP groups, and NBP group, the environmental circadian disruption (ECD) model was prepared. The mice in the Sham group, MCAO group, and ECD-MCAO group were given the same volume of soybean oil by gavage, while those in the other groups were given the corresponding drugs by gavage. Samples were collected after 7 consecutive days of administration. The mNSS score was used to evaluate the repair effect of HXRLP on neurological deficits after IS. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to assess the impact of HXRLP on the pathological damage of brain tissue after IS. 2,3,5-Triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining and cerebral blood perfusion status were used to evaluate the repair effect of HXRLP on brain tissue damage after IS. Evans blue staining and transmission electron microscopy were used to evaluate the improvement effect of HXRLP on the permeability injury of BBB after IS. Immunofluorescence (IF) staining was used to observe the expression of von Willebrand Factor (vWF), brain and muscle Arnt-like 1 (Bmal1), and Occludin in brain tissue. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of Bmal1, Occludin, tight junction protein (Claudin-5), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and angiopoietins(Ang), and related analysis was conducted. ResultsCompared with the Sham group, the MCAO group exhibited significantly aggravated neurological deficits, cerebral infarction volume, brain pathological damage, and BBB leakage (P0.01) and significantly reduced cerebral blood perfusion (P0.01). The expression of Bmal1, vWF, vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), and Ang in brain tissue was significantly enhanced (P0.01), while the expression of Occludin and Claudin-5 was significantly weakened (P0.01). Compared with the MCAO group, the ECD-MCAO group showed significantly aggravated neurological deficits, cerebral infarction volume, and BBB leakage (P0.01), obviously worsened brain pathological damage (P0.05), significantly reduced cerebral blood perfusion (P0.01), and significantly decreased expression of Bmal1, vWF, VEGFA, Ang, Occludin, and Claudin-5 in brain tissue (P0.01). Compared with the ECD-MCAO group, the HXRLP groups of all doses presented significantly improved neurological deficits, cerebral infarction volume, brain pathological damage, and BBB leakage (P0.01), significantly increased cerebral blood perfusion (P0.01), and enhanced expression levels of Bmal1, vWF, VEGFA, Ang, Occludin, and Claudin-5 in brain tissue (P0.01). ConclusionHXRLP can regulate the clock protein Bmal1 and promote the expression of VEGFA, Ang, Occludin, and Claudin-5, thereby improving BBB damage after IS.

Objective:To evaluate the feasibility and safety of performing multi-procedure remote urological surgeries by integrating 5G communication technology with domestically manufactured robotic surgical systems.Methods:Patients requiring urological laparoscopic surgery for benign lesions or tumors were prospectively enrolled at Gansu Provincial Hospital from May 2023 to June 2024. Inclusion criteria included age ≥18 years, body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 30 kg/m 2, and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification Ⅰ-Ⅲ. Tumor-related surgical indicators were as follows: renal tumors staged ≤T 2, solitary tumors, or maximum diameter ≤10 cm; intermediate- to low-risk prostate cancer (clinical stage ≤T 2b), with preoperative prostate-specific antigen (PSA) ≤20 ng/ml or Gleason score ≤7; adrenal tumors with a diameter ≤7 cm or ≥3 cm for non-functional adenomas; and bladder tumors staged ≤T 2. Exclusion criteria included participation in other investigational drug or device clinical trials within the past 1 month, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and patients requiring emergency surgery. Patients with severe cardiovascular or circulatory diseases contraindicating surgery, and individuals with epilepsy, psychiatric disorders, or cognitive impairments were also excluded. Additionally, patients with active bleeding, coagulation disorders, or platelet counts <80×10 9/L were excluded. A 5G communication link was established between the main campus and the new branch of Gansu Provincial Hospital, approximately 70 km apart. Remote surgeries were performed using the domestically manufactured robotic surgical system (Toumai MT-1000). Perioperative key indicators, intraoperative network conditions, and robotic system performance were systematically recorded. Results:This study involved 14 patients, comprising 3 cases of renal cysts, 3 cases of renal tumors, 3 cases of nonfunctional kidneys, 2 cases of adrenal tumors, 1 case of bladder tumor, 1 case of prostate cancer, and 1 case of ureteral-bladder wall thickening with pelvic ureteral stones. The cohort included 7 male and 7 female patients, with an average age of (57.4±12.3) years, a BMI of (24.6±3.0) kg/m 2, and ASA classifications of grade Ⅱ in 9 cases and grade Ⅲ in 5 cases. All remote surgeries were successfully completed without the need for conversion to alternative surgical methods. Three renal cyst unroofing decompression procedures were performed, with an average console operation time of (32.0±6.6) minutes and intraoperative blood loss of (13.3±2.9) ml. Two partial nephrectomies were conducted, with console operation times of 140 and 160 minutes, intraoperative blood loss of 20 ml each, and warm ischemia times of 19 and 25 minutes, respectively. The preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR) for these cases were 115.2 and 107.3 ml/(min·1.73m 2), and postoperative eGFR were 102.0 and 95.5 ml/(min·1.73m 2), respectively. Four radical nephrectomies were completed, with an average console operation time of (50.2±13.7) minutes and intraoperative blood loss of (20.5±13.2) ml. Two adrenal tumor resections were performed, each with console operation times of 45 and 50 minutes and intraoperative blood loss of 10 ml. Additionally, one partial bladder resection was conducted, requiring a console operation time of 60 minutes and resulting in intraoperative blood loss of 10 ml. A single radical prostatectomy was carried out, with a console operation time of 180 minutes, intraoperative blood loss of 120 ml, and pre- and postoperative PSA levels of 11.7 ng/ml and 0.06 ng/ml, respectively. One ureteral-bladder reimplantation was also performed, with a console operation time of 240 minutes and intraoperative blood loss of 10 ml. The average total delay for the 14 remote surgeries ranged from 194 to 250 ms, while the average network transmission delay ranged from 13 to 55 ms. During the procedures, six instances of sudden large fluctuations in network transmission delay were observed, ranging from 333 to 654 ms. These fluctuations resolved automatically within approximately 10 seconds but resulted in temporary disruptions: 2 cases of master-slave console lock (reset process lasted around 5 seconds) and 1 case of switching to the local console for emergency hemostasis (lasting approximately 7 minutes). These interruptions did not significantly affect the surgical process. Postoperative complications in all patients were classified as Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅰ and were unrelated to the surgical procedures or equipment. No cancer was detected in the resection margins of malignant tumors. Follow-up evaluations at three months, including blood tests, liver and kidney function tests, and CT scans of the surgical sites, revealed no significant abnormalities or adverse events. Conclusions:5G communication technology, with an average total latency of less than 250 ms, enables domestic surgical robots to perform multi-procedural remote urological surgeries effectively. However, during procedures requiring extensive suturing for urological reconstruction or managing unplanned intraoperative bleeding, network latency fluctuations exceeding 333 ms can extend the operation time and may necessitate switching to local control for emergency hemostasis.
