Radiation-induced lung injury is a prevalent side effect of radiotherapy for chest cancer. The "three phases and three methods "is an innovative theory based on the evolution of the core pathogenesis of radiation-induced lung injury. Its formation also considers the understanding of radiation-induced lung injury by ancient and modern medical practitioners, pathological characteristics, clinical manifestations, and the development patterns of radiation-induced lung injury. The "three phases and three methods" refers to the three phases of the course and the three treatment methods. The core pathogenesis of radiation-induced lung injury from the beginning, middle and late stages is heat toxicity, yin deficiency, and blood stasis. Therefore, the course of radiation-induced lung injury is divided into three phases: blazing heat toxin, yin deficiency and heat accumulation, and static blood obstruction. The method of clearing the lung and resolving toxins, enriching yin and venting heat, invigorating blood and dissolving stasis are used respectively. Traditional Chinese medicines commonly used in each phase include Flos Lonicerae, Atrina Glass, heartleaf houttuynia herb, Radix Ophiopogonis, American Ginseng, Forsythiae Fructus, Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae, Rhizoma Ligustici chuanxiong, Scorpio, etc. This article presents the theoretical origins of the "three phases and three methods" concept by reviewing of ancient literature, inheriting experience, and summarizing disease pathogenesis, as well as elaborating on the academic connotations of the "three phases and three methods". The scientific validity of the "three phases and three methods" is verified by literature, clinical, and basic research. The "three phases and three methods" interprets the core characteristics of each stage of radiation-induced lung injury, improves the traditional Chinese medicine prevention and treatment system for radiation-induced lung injury, and provides theoretical basis for achieving complete process management.

Objective:
To explore the correlation and lag effects of environmental factors on pediatric respiratory disease visits at hospital, so as to provide scientific basis for disease prediction and optimizing clinical diagnosis and treatment.
Methods:
Data from 503 889 pediatric respiratory disease outpatient and emergency visits a central hospital in Minhang District of Shanghai between 2017 and 2019, along with concurrent meteorological data were collected. A distributed lag non-linear models (DLNM) was constructed to explore the specific relationship between pediatric respiratory disease consultations and various environmental factors and to quantify the cumulative lag effects of environmental factors on respiratory disease consultations.
Results:
Among the environmental factors, temperature, fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ), inhalable particulate matter (PM 10 ), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2), and sulfur dioxide (SO 2) were associated with pediatric respiratory disease visits. After adjusting for temperature, PM 2.5 and PM 10 concentrations did not show significant immediate or lag effects. The relative risk (RR) of pediatric respiratory disease visits increased with rising NO 2 concentrations. When NO 2 concentration ≥55 μg/m 3, significant immediate and lagged effects (lag 3, 5, and 7 days) were observed. The RR values were 1.05, 1.13, 1.17, and 1.21( P <0.05). The RR values showed an inverted “U” shaped relationship with SO 2 concentrations. When SO 2 concentration ≥5 μg/m 3, significant lagged effects (lag 3, 5, and 7 days) were observed. The RR values were 1.03 , 1.03, and 1.04 ( P <0.05).
Conclusion
High concentrations of NO 2 and SO 2 increase the risk of pediatric respiratory disease visits, with observable lag effects.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of areola approach endoscopic thyroidectomy (AET) and gasless axillary approach endoscopic thyroidectomy (GAET) in the treatment of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients.Methods:A total of 96 PTC patients from the Thyroid Surgery Department of Linyi People’s Hospital from May. 2019 to May. 2022 were selected and randomly divided into 48 patients using a random number table method. The areola group received AET, while the armpit group received GAET. The surgical situation, postoperative recovery, relevant biochemical indicators [white blood cell count (WBC), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), parathyroid hormone (PTH), blood calcium] before and after surgery, postoperative pain level, discomfort level, neck function, and complications were compared between the two groups.Results:The surgical time and extubation time of the armpit group were (125.71±15.73) minutes and (3.12±0.53) days, respectively, which were shorter than those of the areola group (137.94±20.02) minutes and (3.48±0.46) days. The intraoperative bleeding volume was (14.19±4.16) mL, which was less than that of the areola group (22.65±7.39) mL, and the number of lymph nodes cleaned was 5.06±1.02, which was more than that of the areola group (4.23±1.14) ( P<0.05) ; there was no significant difference in postoperative drainage volume and hospital stay between the two groups ( P>0.05) ; Peripheral blood WBC in the armpit group on the 1st and 3rd day after surgery [ (5.69±0.15) ×10 9/L, (5.52±0.14) ] ×10 9/L, ESR [ (8.21±0.55) mm/h, (7.64±0.60) mm/h], CRP [ (10.06±1.78) ng/L, (8.93±1.33) ng/L] were lower than those in the areola group [ (5.83±0.21) ×10 9/L, (5.70±0.23) ×10 9/L, (8.87±0.74) mm/h, (8.19±0.68) mm/h, (12.45±1.90) ng/L, (10.45±1.50) ng/L] ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the levels of the above biochemical indicators 5 days after surgery ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in peripheral blood PTH and calcium levels between the two groups on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th postoperative days ( P>0.05). The pain level [ (3.25±0.32) scores, (2.53±0.27) scores, (1.82±0.22) scores] and discomfort level [ (6.85±0.71) scores, (5.24±0.66) scores, (3.51±0.57) scores] in the axillary group were lower than those in the areola group [ (3.78±0.40) scores, (2.89±0.34) scores, (2.06±0.26) scores, (7.46±0.84) scores, (6.09±0.73) scores, (4.16±0.60) scores] on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th postoperative days ( P<0.05). The neck flexion, lateral flexion, and extension range of motion in the axillary group on the 3rd day after surgery were (33.16±3.09) °, (27.63±2.57) °, and (30.44 2.73) °, respectively, which were greater than those in the areola group[ (30.08±2.76) °, (25.14±2.30) °, and (27.98±2.54) °], and the swallowing disorder index was (30.16±4.97) points lower than the (34.83±4.13) points in the areola group ( P<0.05). The incidence of complications in the axillary group was 4.17% (2/48), lower than the 16.67% (8/48) in the areola group. Conclusion:GAET treatment for PTC patients can improve the effect of lymph node dissection, reduce the degree of surgical trauma, postoperative pain and discomfort, accelerate early postoperative recovery of neck function, and reduce complications.

Objective To examine the impact of arid climates on distribution of Oncomelania hupensis snails in the Poyang Lake area, so as to provide insights into precision control of O. hupensis snails in the Poyang Lake area. Methods O. hupensis snails-infested grass islands in Hukou County, Lianxi District and Lushan City in the northern Poyang Lake area, and Jinxian County, Nanchang County and Poyang County in the southern Poyang Lake area were selected as the study areas, and the occurrence of frames with living snails and the mean density of living snails were captured from snail surveys in the study areas in spring and autumn each year from 2006 to 2023. Five years 2007, 2011, 2013, 2019 and 2022 were selected as drought years, and the mean daily water levels were collected at the Xingzi hydrological station in the drought years, normal flow year (2012) and flood year (2020). The numbers of days with water levels ranging from the lower elevation (11 m) to the upper elevation (16 m) for snail survival and the numbers of days with water levels of 11 m and below were collected in the Poyang Lake area, and the changes of snail indicators were compared in different grass islands in the Poyang Lake area before and after drought. Results The numbers of days with water levels ranging from 11 to 16 m were 110, 88, 136 d and 125 d at the Xingzi hydrological station in four drought years 2007, 2011, 2013 and 2019, which were less than in the flow year and flood year, and the days with water levels of 11 m and below were 242, 277, 220 d and 198 d in four drought years 2007, 2011, 2013 and 2019, which were longer than in the flow year and flood year. A total of 416 snails-infested marshlands were surveyed in the Poyang Lake area from 2006 to 2021, and the survey marshlands accounted for 43.12% (307/712) and 46.98% (109/232) of total marshlands in the southern and northern Poyang Lake areas, respectively. The median occurrence of frames with living snails and mean density of living snails were 0.60% (interquartile range, 4.04%) and 0.010 1 snail/0.1 m2 (interquartile range, 0.076 1 snail/0.1 m2) in drought years, which were both lower than those [1.33% (5.19%) and 0.022 8 (0.098 9) snail/0.1 m2] in non-drought years (χ2= 42.170 and 44.911, both P values < 0.01). The proportion of grass islands with a continuous decline in snail indicators was higher in the southern Poyang Lake area than in the northern Poyang Lake area after the next year of drought (24.24% vs. 2.33%; χ2 = 10.633, P < 0.01), and the proportion of grass islands with rebounding snail indicators was higher in the northern Poyang Lake area than in the southern Poyang Lake area (53.49% vs. 15.76%; χ2 = 26.966, P < 0.01). A longitudinal analysis of snail indicators in marshlands with rebounding snail indicators after drought showed 1 to 5 years for return to pre-drought snail status, with a median of 2 (interquartile range, 1) years, and snail status was more likely to rebound if the occurrence of frames with living snails and the mean density of living snails were 2.11% and 0.025 5 snail/0.1 m2 and greater in snails-infested grass islands. Conclusions Drought causes a remarkable decline in O. hupensis snail indicators in the Poyang Lake area, with a more remarkable impact in the southern Poyang Lake area, and 1 to 5 years are required for return to pre-drought snail status.
8.Effects of Maternal Biologics Use on Infant Immunization:Recent Research Progress
Journal of Sun Yat-sen University(Medical Sciences) 2024;45(6):876-882
Women of childbearing age are at a heightened risk for autoimmune diseases,with an incidence rate ranging from 1.5 to 10 cases per 10000 individuals. Biologic agents,recognized for their efficacy and minimal adverse effects,are commonly utilized in this population. Research indicates significant variability among different biologic agents regardingtheir ability to cross the placental barrier. Currently,the World Health Organization (WHO)and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) have not established a standardized vaccination protocol for infants exposed to these agents during pregnancy. This article aims to review the selection of biologic agents by pregnant women and their effects on fetal development and vaccine immune responses. The goal is to provide clearer guidance for clinical decision-making and to enhance maternal and infant health outcomes.

This study aimed to explore the relationship between comorbidity factors and in-hospital mortality related to factors in patients with carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) pneumonia. This study collected clinical data from 218 patients with CRKP pneumonia in Beijing hospital from November 2011 to December 2023, analyzed the number of comorbidities carried by CRKP pneumonia patients, comorbidity patterns, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) scores, and comorbidity of underlying diseases, and explored the relationship between various indicators and comorbidity factors and in-hospital mortality in CRKP pneumonia patients. The Ward.D cluster analysis was performed on the comorbidities of patients and used to draw heatmaps. Using a multiple logistic regression model, a nomogram model was constructed to predict in-hospital mortality in patients with CRKP pneumonia. This study included 218 patients with CRKP pneumonia. The results showed that there were significant differences in the age ( P=0.003), comorbidities such as heart failure ( P<0.001), arrhythmia ( P=0.002), chronic liver disease ( P=0.003), chronic kidney disease ( P=0.002), CCI score ( P=0.007), total number of comorbidities ( P<0.001), and comorbidity patterns (respiratory/immune/psychiatric disease patterns and cardiovascular/tumor/metabolic disease patterns, P=0.003) between the survival and death groups of CRKP pneumonia patients. The multiple logistic regression showed that cardiovascular/tumor/metabolic disease patterns ( P=0.030), CCI score ( P=0.040), concomitant heart failure ( P=0.011), and concomitant arrhythmia ( P=0.025) were independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality in patients with CRKP pneumonia. The nomogram model for predicting the risk of in-hospital mortality in patients with CRKP pneumonia, constructed based on the identified risk factors, had an area under the ROC curve of 0.758. Both the ROC curve and validation curve indicated that the nomogram model had stable performance in predicting in-hospital mortality in patients with CRKP pneumonia. In summary, comorbidity factors are risk factors for predicting in-hospital mortality in patients with CRKP pneumonia, and the role of comorbidity factors in in-hospital mortality in patients with CRKP pneumonia should be taken seriously.
