ObjectiveTo clearly identify the difference between rescue injuries and agonal injuries and to avoid duplicate identifications and misidentifications. MethodsBased on the forensic pathological data of 5 923 cases of death cause identification from 2013 to 2022 in Sun Yat-sen University Forensic Identification Center and Guangzhou Tianhe District Branch of Guangzhou Public Security Bureau， this study retrospectively studied the characteristics of rescue injuries and agonal injuries seen in cause of death identification and their influence on cause of death identification. ResultsAmong all the 5 923 cases， 640 cases were found to have rescue injuries or agonal injuries， and 624 cases received treatment， of which 609 cases were found to have rescue injuries （97.60%）， 44 cases were found to have agonal injuries， and 13 cases were found to have both types of injuries. Among the 640 cases， 441 were male and 199 were female. The age of death was discontinuously distributed from 0 to 95 years old. The leading cause of death was disease， followed by mechanical injury and asphyxia. The main manifestations of rescue injuries were rib and sternum fractures， soft tissue injuries in the prechest area or face， and pericardial rupture. The most common injuries in agonal stage were falling after unconsciousness， inhalation of foreign body in respiratory tract or multiple violent injuries. Among the 640 cases， 19 cases were repeatedly identified， including 15 cases of rescue injuries， 6 cases of agonal injuries， and 2 cases of both types of injuries. Compared with the cases where neither type of injuries was detected， the repeated identification rate of treatment injuries and agonal injuries was significantly increased （χ²=4.04， P=0.044； χ²=43.49， P<0.001）. Among the 640 cases， 11 cases （1.72%） were misidentified as the initial injuries in the first identification， and 13 cases had combined rescue injuries or agonal injuries that were involved in death. ConclusionsBy elucidating the epidemiological characteristics of the two types of injuries， this study proved that the two types of injuries were associated with higher rates of repeated identification and misidentification， which provided a reference for reducing repeated identification and misidentification and improving the accuracy of cause of death identification.

Organ transplantation has become an effective treatment for multiple end-stage diseases. However, the recipients of organ transplantation need to take immunosuppressive drugs for a long time after operation, which leads to low immune function and relatively high incidence of bacterial, viral and fungal infections. Traditional microbial detection methods, such as pathogen culture, immunological detection and polymerase chain reaction, have been widely applied in infection detection, whereas these methods may cause problems, such as long detection time and presumed pathogens. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing has been widely adopted in infection prevention and control in organ transplantation in recent years due to high detection rate and comprehensive detection of pathogen spectrum. In this article, the application of metagenomic next-generation sequencing in the prevention and control of infection in solid organ transplantation was reviewed, aiming to provide reference for the diagnosis and treatment of transplantation-related infection.

Objective: To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of varicella outbreaks in primary and middle schools, and to establish a risk predictive model, so as to provide scientific guidance for the prevention of varicella outbreaks in schools. Methods: Based on a nested case-control study, primary and middle schools in 4 districts of Shanghai (Yangpu District and Jingan District) and Hangzhou (Xiaoshan District and Linping District) from January to December 2023 were selected to observe the status of varicella outbreaks. Associated factors of varicella outbreaks were investigated and used for establishing the predictive model, which was evaluated by the Hosmer-Lemeshow(H-L) goodness of fit test, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, Calibration curve, decision curve analysis (DCA). Results: A total of 98 varicella outbreaks were included, with 195 schools without varicella outbreaks during the same period as controls. Eight factors, including the availability of warm water in restroom, availability of hand soap in restroom, average class size, duration of student attendance at school per day, presence of a fulltime school doctor, hesitancy of the school principal towards varicella vaccination, and rates of first and second doses of varicella vaccination, were identified as potential factors for school varicella outbreaks, with statistically significant differences (χ2/Z=10.01, 20.49, 17.43, 9.74, 32.17, 6.60, 2.20, 3.39, P<0.05). The 8 variables above were employed to construct a risk predictive model, and Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test yielded a χ2 value of 5.863 (P>0.05); the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.846 (95%CI=0.799-0.893); Calibration curve analysis indicated good consistency between predicted and actual values of the model. DCA demonstrated favorable predictive performance of the model over a wide range. Conclusions The predictive model for school varicella outbreaks demonstrates satisfactory accuracy and efficacy. It suggested to make good use of this prediction model and take relevant measures to reduce the risk of varicella transmission in schools.

Lung transplantation is an effective means of treating various end-stage lung diseases.However,compared with other solid organ transplants,the survival rate after lung transplantation is relatively low.The main reason is the numerous complications after lung transplantation,among which infection is one of the most common complications.Respiratory viral infections are an important type of infection after lung transplantation,which severely affect the survival time and quality of life of lung transplant recipients.Early identification,early prevention,and active diagnosis and treatment are of great significance in reducing the incidence and fatality of respiratory viral infections after lung transplantation.This article reviews the epidemiology,risk factors,prevention and treatment principles,and specific prevention and treatment progress of common viruses in respiratory viral infections after lung transplantation at home and abroad,in order to provide a reference for the prevention and treatment of respiratory viral infections after lung transplantation in clinical practice.

Objective To explore the predictive value of 3D quantitative shape features based on enhanced CT for disease-free survival(DFS)of primary gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors(GIST)patients receiving curative resection.Methods From January 2010 to December 2016,a total of 154 patients with primary gastric GIST who received curative resection in Zhongshan Hospital,Fudan University were retrospectively collected.The conventional CT imaging features and 3D quantitative shape features of tumors were evaluated,and the influencing factors of DFS were analyzed by univariate and multivariate Cox regression.Cut-off values were extracted,and Kaplan-Meier curves were used for survival analysis.Results Maximum 3D diameter(HR=1.829,95% CI 1.389-2.408,P＜0.001)and spherical disproportion(HR=2.153,95% CI 1.474-3.146,P＜0.001)were independent risk factors for DFS in primary gastric GIST.Kaplan-Meier curves showed that patients with maximum 3D diameter＞90.5 mm and spherical disproportion＞1.5 showed shorter DFS after curative resection(P＜0.001).Conclusion Maximum 3D diameter and spherical disproportion based on preoperative enhanced CT are valuable in the diagnosis of postoperative DFS in primary gastric GIST.

Objective:This study aimed to develop a rapid and accurate integrated nucleic acid detection method tailored for the influenza virus.Methods:We designed primers and probes targeting the predominant influenza virus strains circulating in China in recent years. These were integrated with extraction and amplification reagents and a point of care testing (POCT) system to facilitate a seamless and expedited process involving nucleic acid extraction, reaction system preparation, amplification, and result interpretation for the influenza virus. The specificity of the POCT system was evaluated using cultured influenza viruses, while its cross-reactivity was assessed against common respiratory pathogens, including adenovirus and respiratory syncytial virus.Results:Our study successfully developed duplex amplification primers and probes for both influenza A and B viruses, achieving a detection threshold as low as 500 copies/ml. Specificity tests confirmed that the detection reagents did not show cross-reactivity with other respiratory pathogens such as adenovirus and respiratory syncytial virus. The POCT-based rapid nucleic acid detection method for influenza virus was established, it is capable of completing the entire process from nucleic acid extraction to amplification and result interpretation within 50 minutes, while enabling real-time data upload.Conclusions:The POCT-based rapid influenza virus detection kit developed in this study offers a " sample in, results out" convenience, making it suitable for rapid influenza virus detection in primary care settings. This innovation has significant potential for clinical application.

AIM:To analyze the effectiveness and safety of upper eyelid combined fascia sheath(CFS)suspension and levator muscle(LM)shortening surgery in correcting severe ptosis.METHODS:Retrospective study. A total of 80 cases(84 eyes)of severe ptosis treated in our hospital from June 2018 to June 2022 were divided into two groups based on the surgical method, including 40 cases(41 eyes)underwent CFS suspension + LM shortening surgery in CFS group, and 40 patients(43 eyes)underwent frontal muscle flap suspension surgery in frontal muscle group; the clinical total effective rate, postoperative complications, and patient satisfaction rate of both groups of patients were compared.RESULTS:At 12 mo postoperatively, the clinical effective rates of the two groups of patients were 98% and 91%, respectively(P>0.05). The incidence of complications was 26%(11/43)in the frontal muscle group and 7%(3/41)in the CFS group(P=0.024). The satisfaction rate of the frontal muscle group was 80%(32/40), while the CFS group was 98%(39/40; P=0.029).CONCLUSION:The use of CFS+LM surgery can effectively correct severe ptosis, with fewer complications and a more natural appearance.

Objective: To examine the Longitudinal influence of perceived discrimination on pro social behavior of left alone junior middle school students and to explore the longitudinal mediating role of teacher-student relationship and classmate relationship, so as to provide a reference for improving pro social behavior of left behind junior middle school students. Methods: The Perceived Discrimination Questionnaire, Teacher-Student Relationship Questionnaire, Classmate Relationship Questionnaire and Prosocial Behavior Questionnaire were used to conduct two follow up surveys on 930 left behind junior middle school students in Guizhou Province at two time points, in mid November 2021(T1) and mid May 2022(T2). Deviation corrected Bootstrap method was used to examine the mediating effect of T2 teacher-student relationship and T2 classmate relationship on the impact of T1 discrimination perception on T2 pro social behavior. Results: The perceptions of discrimination, teacher-student relationship, classmate relationship, and pro social behavior scores of the left behind junior high school students were (1.98±0.94) (4.13± 0.77 ) (3.54±0.91) (3.52±0.75) for T1, and (3.98±0.83)(3.42±0.86)(3.48±0.72) for teacher-student relationship, classmate relationships and pro social behavior scrores of T2. After controlling for gender, age and self assessment of family economic status, T1 perceived discrimination negatively predicted T2 pro social behavior ( β =-0.07); and T1 perceived discrimination indirectly influenced T2 pro social behavior through T2 teacher-student relationship, and mediated effect value was -0.02(95% CI = -0.02 to -0.01); and T1 perceived discrimination indirectly influenced T2 pro social behavior through T2 classmate relationship, mediated effect was -0.03(95% CI =-0.05 to -0.02)( P <0.05). Conclusions Perceived discrimination not only directly reduces pro social behavior of left behind junior middle school students, but also indirectly and negatively affects pro social behavior of left alone junior middle school students by reducing teacher-student relationship and classmate relationship.

Objective To observe the effects of acupuncture at acupoints along the meridians on the expression of frontal lobe associated protein kinase in pchlorophenylalanine(PCPA)induced insomnia rats;To explore the mechanism of acupuncture in improving insomnia.Methods Totally 60 rats were randomly divided into blank group,model group,sham acupuncture group,acupuncture group and Western medicine group,with 12 rats in each group.An insomnia model rat was induced by intraperitoneal injection of PCPA.The acupuncture group received acupuncture at"Baihui","Shenmen"(bilateral),and"Sanyinjiao"(bilateral),while the sham acupuncture group only fixed the needle at the corresponding acupoints but did not penetrate the skin,while the model group was only fixed for 30 minutes,the Western medicine group was given a solution of estazolam by gavage for 7 consecutive days,the blank group was not treated.The pentobarbital sodium reversal experiment was used to detect the sleep latency and sleep time of rats,ELISA was used to detect the content of melatonin(MT)in plasma,RT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expressions of calmodulin dependent protein kinase(CaMK)Ⅱ,protein kinase C(PKC)and p38 mitogen activated protein kinase(MAPK)in frontal lobe tissue,and Western blot was used to detect the protein expressions of CaMKⅡ,PKC and p38MAPK in frontal lobe tissue.Results Compared with the blank group,the sleep latency of the model group rats were significantly prolonged and the sleep time were significantly shortened(P<0.01),the content of MT in plasma was significantly reduced(P<0.01),and the mRNA and protein expressions of CaMKⅡ and PKC in frontal lobe tissue were significantly decreased(P<0.01),the mRNA and protein expressions of p38MAPK were significantly increased(P<0.01).Compared with the model group,the sleep latency were significantly shortened and the sleep time were significantly prolonged in the acupuncture group and the Western medicine group(P<0.01),the plasma MT content significantly increased(P<0.01),the mRNA and protein expressions of CaMKⅡ and PKC in frontal lobe tissue significantly increased(P<0.05),and the mRNA and protein expression of p38MAPK significantly decreased(P<0.01).Compared with the sham acupuncture group,the sleep latency shortened and sleep time were significantly prolonged in the acupuncture group and the Western medicine group(P<0.01),plasma MT content significantly increased(P<0.01),PKC mRNA expression in frontal lobe tissue significantly increased(P<0.01),and p38MAPK mRNA expression significantly decreased(P<0.01).There was no statistically difference in various indicators between the acupuncture group and the Western medicine group(P>0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture at acupoints along the meridians can shorten the sleep latency and prolong sleep time,improve sleep status by regulating the expression of associated protein kinase in frontal lobe of insomnia rats.

Breast cancer has been the second most common solid tumor that metastasizes to the central nervous system after lung cancer.Triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC)has an earlier occurrence and high incidence of brain metastasis with its associated poor prognosis and limited treatment options due to the presence of the blood-brain barrier and lack of targeted drugs.Local treatment,including surgery and radiation therapy,are still the main therapy for brain metastasis.Surgical resection can not only relieve neurologic impairment of brain metastasis patients,but also can clarify the pathological type.Moreover,surgical resection combined with radiotherapy can improve the prognosis of brain metastasis patients compared to surgery or radiotherapy alone.By now,whole-brain radiation therapy(WBRT)is still considered the gold standard for multiple brain metastases,and meningeal metastases,but it will lead to neurocognitive decline,so hippocampal avoidance is essential.For selected patients with oligometastases,stereotactic radiotherapy has replaced WBRT to reduce cognitive toxicity.However,local treatment of TNBC brain metastasis cannot control the progress of brain metastasis and has significant side effects,so systemic therapy is needed.Chemotherapy drugs such as capecitabine and cisplatin can penetrate the blood-brain barrier,but their efficacy is limited.Therefore,the research and development of new targeted drugs and the exploration of new targets are necessary for TNBC brain metastasis.Research has found that patients carrying germline BRCA1/2 mutations have a higher risk of brain metastasis.Currently,the poly adenosine diphosphate ribose polymerase(PARP)inhibitor demonstrated antitumor activity in patients with advanced breast cancer and a germline BRCA1/2 mutation,and it can penetrate the blood-brain barrier.The phase Ⅲ trial EMBRACA reported that the PARP inhibitor talazoparib can prolong the progression-free survival of TNBC patients with brain metastasis.In addition,antibody drug conjugates(ADCs)trastuzumab deruxtecan(T-DXd)can also penetrate the blood-brain barrier.Studies such as DEBBRAH have shown that T-DXd has significant therapeutic effects in HER2 positive brain metastasis patients,while research on HER2 low expression patients has not yet reached the endpoint,and its role in TNBC brain metastasis is worth looking forward to.Sacituzumab govitecan(SG)is also an ADC composed of an antibody targeting the human trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2.The phase Ⅲ ASCENT study showed that in the full population(including 61 patients with brain metastasis),SG could significantly prolong the progression-free survival of advanced TNBC patients compared to the patients who received chemotherapy.ANG1005,a novel taxane derivative,can cross the blood-brain barrier as well.A multicenter,open-label phase Ⅱ study revealed that ANG1005 could prolong overall survival of patients with brain metastasis.In addition,phosphoinositide3-kinase,(PI3K)/protein kinase(AKT)/mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR)pathway inhibitors,fatty acid synthase inhibitors,and the drugs with new delivery systems have become potential treatment options for TNBC brain metastasis patients.Although the Impassion 130 reported that no benefit trend for immunotherapy in TNBC brain metastasis,basic research has shown that radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy has a synergistic effect.Currently,multiple clinical trials(NCT03483012,NCT03449238,etc.)are exploring the efficacy of radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy in brain metastasis,and the results are promising.This article reviewed the research progress of TNBC brain metastasis treatment.
