		                        			ObjectiveTo understand the process and influencing factors affecting the utilization of influenza vaccination services and vaccination decision-making among the elderly in Shanghai, to explore the delivery of influenza vaccination services and the difficulties faced by the health service system, and to provide guidance for optimizing immunization strategies. MethodsBased on the vaccine hesitancy determinants matrix, semi-structured personal interviews were conducted with stakeholders involved in influenza vaccination services in Shanghai from January to February 2024, using a purposive sampling method. Participants were included until thematic saturation was achieved. Interview data were audio-recorded, transcribed, coded, and organized using NVivo 20 software, and analyzed using the thematic framework method. ResultsA total of 25 interviewees were included, including 9 medical staff, 12 elderly people aged 60 and above, and 4 family members. The study found that Shanghai had a well-managed and standardized influenza vaccination service. However, the promotion of vaccine-related information at the grassroots level was passive and limited. Out-of-pocket payment of the vaccine and cultural beliefs of the elderly negatively impacted vaccination rates. Meanwhile, recommendations from family, friends, and medical staff facilitated vaccination, although the impact varied depending on the type of medical staff. Neighborhood committees in townships and streets played a crucial role in delivering vaccination information to the target population. Additionally, the internet, social media, and the COVID-19 vaccine had both positive and negative impacts on influenza vaccination. Strategic optimization of vaccination should prioritize price concessions, enhance publicity strategies, and improve awareness, professionalism, and willingness among medical and healthcare workers to recommend vaccination. ConclusionThe influenza vaccination service in Shanghai is well-managed and standardized. However, it is essential to consider the influence of family and other support systems on the elderly. It is also necessary to enhance the professionalism, service awareness, and willingness to recommend among the medical staff. Furthermore, systematic interventions and publicity efforts should be effectively integrated with social media and the functions of neighborhood committees.

		                        			Background and purpose:Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K(hnRNPK)is an RNA special binding protein that participates in regulating the expression of related genes and protein translation.It has been linked to the malignant occurrence and development of various tumors,but its role in breast cancer remains unclear.The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of hnRNPK on ferroptosis in breast cancer cells and the underlying mechanisms.Methods:Based on The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)and Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)databases,hnRNPK expression in breast cancer tissues and normal tissues and its relationship with clinical prognosis were analyzed by bioinformatics.We detected hnRNPK expression in breast cancer cells and tissues using real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR),Western blot,and immunohistochemistry staining diagnosis methods.MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells were transfected with siRNA,and divided into control group(control),empty body group(NC),and interference vector group(si-hnRNPK).Cell proliferation was detected by cell counting kit-8(CCK-8)and plate clone formation assays.RNA-seq analysis was applied to explore potential targeted biological functions and signaling pathways affected by hnRNPK.Additionally,we investigated the impact of hnRNPK on ferroptosis phenotype using Western blot and commercial kits for reactive oxygen species(ROS),malondialdehyde(MDA),glutathione(GSH),and Fe2+,ferroptosis inhibitor(ferrostatin-1,Fer-1)was used to detect the rescue effect of hnRNPK knockdown on ferroptosis.The impact of hnRNPK on the expressions of Wnt/β-catenin pathway-related proteins were determined by Western blot.Results:The bioinformatics analyses indicated hnRNPK was upregulated in breast cancer tissues(P<0.01),and the overall survival of patients in the high expression group was poorer compared with those in the low expression group(P<0.05).hnRNPK was highly expressed in breast cancer tissues and cells,and knocking down hnRNPK weakened the proliferation ability of breast cancer cells(P<0.05).The RNA-seq analysis showed that hnRNPK was significantly enriched in ferroptosis,apoptosis,and the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.Knocking down hnRNPK promoted ferroptosis in breast cancer cells by inducing lipid ROS and MDA,as well as Fe2+accumulation(P<0.05).Interestingly,the ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1(Fer-1)reversed the promotive effect of hnRNPK knockdown on ferroptosis(P<0.05).Downregulation of hnRNPK led to a decrease in the expressions of β-catenin and c-Myc in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway,while expressions of CK1α,APC and the GSK-3β complex were elevated(P<0.05).Conclusion:hnRNPK is highly expressed in breast cancer,and knocking down hnRNPK promotes ferroptosis in breast cancer cells by inhibiting the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway,thereby suppressing the malignant progression of breast cancer.

		                        			BACKGROUND:
		                        			Management of gastric leak after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is challenging due to its unpredictable outcomes. We aimed to summarize the characteristics of SG leaks and analyze interventions and corresponding outcomes in a real-world setting.
		                        		
		                        			METHODS:
		                        			To retrospectively review of 15,721 SG procedures from 2010 to 2020 based on a national registry. A cumulative sum analysis was used to identify a fitting curve of gastric leak rate. The Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank tests were performed to calculate and compare the probabilities of relevant outcomes. The logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the predictors of acute leaks.
		                        		
		                        			RESULTS:
		                        			A total of 78 cases of SG leaks were collected with an incidence of 0.5% (78/15,721) from this registry (6 patients who had the primary SG in non-participating centers). After accumulating 260 cases in a bariatric surgery center, the leak rate decreased to a stably low value of under 1.17%. The significant differences presented in sex, waist circumference, and the proportion of hypoproteinemia and type 2 diabetes at baseline between patients with SG leak and the whole registry population ( P = 0.005, = 0.026, <0.001, and = 0.001, respectively). Moreover, 83.1% (59/71) of the leakage was near the esophagogastric junction region. Leakage healed in 64 (88.9%, 64/72) patients. The median healing time of acute and non-acute leaks was 5.93 months and 8.12 months, respectively. Acute leak (38/72, 52.8%) was the predominant type with a cumulative reoperation rate >50%, whereas the cumulative healing probability in the patients who required surgical treatment was significantly lower than those requring non-surgical treatment ( P = 0.013). Precise dissection in the His angle area was independently associated with a lower acute leak rate, whereas preservation ≥2 cm distance from the His angle area was an independent risk factor.
		                        		
		                        			CONCLUSIONS
		                        			Male sex, elevated waist circumference, hypoproteinaemia, and type 2 diabetes are risk factors of gastric leaks after SG. Optimizing surgical techniques, including precise dissection of His angle area and preservation of smaller gastric fundus, should be suggested to prevent acute leaks.

		                        			Objective:To analyze the frequency and characteristics of polymyositis (PM) in idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM), and to investigate whether PM is over-diagnosed.Methods:Patients diagnosed as IIM according to the Bohan & Peter criteria of IIM hospitalized in the Department of Rheumatology of China-Japan Friendship Hospital from 2008 to 2019 were involved in the study. Definite PM (dPM) was defined as typical clinical and pathological features including elevated creatine kinase (CK) level, muscle weakness and muscle biopsy findings with endomysial CD8 + T cell infiltration and expression of MHC-1 on sarcolemma. Meanwhile, dermatomyositis (DM), anti-synthase syndrome(ASS), immune-mediated necrotic myopathy(IMNM), sporadic inclusion body myositis(sIBM) and other myopathies were excluded according to the new classification criteria of IIM subtypes respectively. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software 24.0. The Kruskal-Wallis test and χ2 test were used to compare the clinical characteristics between the dPM group and other IIM subtypes. Results:A total of 1 259 patients with IIM including 1 015 (80.6%) DM and 244(19.4%) PM were enrolled in this study. According to the strict definition of PM criteria, only 0.5% of patients (6/1 259) in IIM could be diagnosed as dPM. Most PM patients were IMNM and ASS according to the new IIM subtypes criteria, of which 48.0% (117/244) were IMNM and 32.0% (78/244) were ASS. 66.7%(4/6) of dPM patients were women. One complicated with RA, and one was dPM overlaped with systemic sclerosis. All of them had muscle weakness, mild elevation of CK level [611(391,1 451) U/L], and were myositis-specific autoantibodies negative. Except one dPM patients who did not receive immunoregulatory therapy due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the others were administrated with low or medium dose prednisone combined with or without immunosuppressive agents. After a median follow-up of (38±26) months, the muscle strength of dPM patients were improved.Conclusion:dPM is a very rare clinical subtype of IIM. PM is an over-diagnosed entity in clinical practice. Patients with dPM have mild symptoms and good outcome.
