Objective: To investigate the epidemiological and spatio-temporal characteristics of influenza in Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide insights into perfecting the prevention and control strategies of influenza. Methods: Data of influenza in Jiaxing City from 2019 to 2023 were collected from the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. Population data of the same period were collected from the Zhejiang Health Information Network Reporting System. The epidemiological characteristics of influenza were analyzed using descriptive analysis. Vector map information was collected from the Open Street Map, and the spatio-temporal clustering characteristics of influenza were analyzed using spatial autocorrelation and spatio-temporal scanning. Results: A total of 181 501 cases of influenza were reported in Jiaxing City from 2019 to 2023, with an average annual reported incidence of 653.93/105. The majority of cases were aged 5 to <15 years (59 785 cases, 32.94%). The majority of the occupations were students (78 239 cases, 43.11%) and pre-school children (33 715 cases, 18.58%). The county (city, district) with the highest reported incidence was Haining City (1 451.70/105), and the town (street) with the highest reported incidence was Chang'an Town (1 932.78/105). Spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that the incidence of influenza in Jiaxing City from 2019 to 2023 had positive spatial correlations (all Moran's I>0, all P<0.05), with a high-high clustering in the southern region. Spatio-temporal scanning analysis showed that there was a spatio-temporal clustering of influenza in Jiaxing City from 2019 to 2023, with the southern region being the primary-type clustering area and the period between November and January of the following year being the clustering time. Conclusion There was a significant spatio-temporal clustering of influenza in Jiaxing City from 2019 to 2023, with winter being the peak season and the southern region being the primary area.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the preferences of patients who underwent solid organ transplantation regarding therapeutic drug monitoring （TDM） of mycophenolic acid （MPA） and explore the factors influencing patients’ decision-making process， so as to provide support for the development of individualized medication guidelines for MPA and improvement of clinical decision-making. METHODS The cross-sectional study was used to design the questionnaire on the patients’ preferences to accept MPA TDM， and involved patients who underwent solid organ transplantation and received MPA treatment at two tertiary hospitals in Beijing from April 14， 2022， to June 27， 2022. The Likert 5-level scoring method was used to score the patients’ preferences to accept MPA TDM， the influencing factors and their correlation of the patients’ preferences to accept MPA TDM were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis and binary Logistic regression analysis， and the nonparametric test and chi-square test were used to rank and analyze the consistency of the factors affecting patients’ preference decision. RESULTS A total of 140 questionnaires were collected， and the effective recovery rate was 77.35%. The average preference score of 140 patients to receive MPA TDM was （4.01±0.65）， and the overall preference value was high. There were 116 （82.86%） patients agreed or strongly agreed with MPA TDM. Significant differences were observed in preference scores between patients who had previously undergone MPA TDM and those who had never undergone it （[ 4.30±0.53） scores vs. （3.80±0.65） scores， P＜0.001]. Additionally， patients’ preference scores were significantly influenced by their understanding level and attention level （P＜0.001）. The ranking of factors contributing to decision-making exhibited consistency （P＜0.001）. The factors were ranked in descending order of clinical efficacy， safety， comfortability， economy and time cost. CONCLUSIONS The patients who underwent solid organ transplantation hold high preferences towards MPA TDM. The primary factors influencing their decisions are their prior experience， understanding level， and attention level.

OBJECTIVE To confirm the therapeutic effect of Jintiange capsules on osteoarthritis(OA) and the potential mechanism of synovial mesenchymal stem cell exosomes(SMSC-Exos) and articular chondrocytes(ACs) in the treatment of OA based on high-throughput sequencing technology. METHODS Type Ⅱ collagenase-induced OA rats were used for efficacy verification through general behavioral observation, bipedal balance difference experiment, mechanical foot reflex threshold, Micro-CT observation, and Safranin O-Fast Green staining. SMSCs and ACs were cultured in suitable concentration of drug-containing serum, and mRNA sequencing was performed on ACs in the control, model, and Jintiange capsules groups, as well as miRNA sequencing on SMSC-Exos. Differential expressed mRNAs and miRNAs were screened and target genes were predicted. The common differential expressed genes between SMSC and ACs were obtained by intersecting the differential expressed genes, and a miRNA-mRNA regulatory network was constructed using Cytoscape software. The expression trend analysis of common differential expressed genes was conducted, as well as the correlation analysis between differential expressed gene mRNA and miRNA, Micro-CT efficacy indicators, and differential expressed gene mRNA. RESULTS Under the pathological state of OA, the expression of miRNA-23a-3p, miRNA-342-3p, miRNA-146b-5p, miRNA-501-3p, and miRNA-214-3p were down-regulated, while miRNA-222-3p, miRNA-30e-3p, miRNA-676-3p, and miRNA-192-5p were up-regulated (P<0.05). The expressions of these miRNAs were significantly reversed after intervention with drug-containing serum of Jintiange capsules. There was a certain correlation between Micro-CT efficacy indicators, mRNA and miRNA. CONCLUSION Jintiange capsule has obvious efficacy in the treatment of OA, and its mechanism may be related to the promotion of SMSC-Exos targeting ACs to transport miRNA and then regulate Serpinb10, Ntn1, Il1b, Tgm2, Megf10, Il11, Cd40, Slc15a3, Pou2f2 and other genes.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of Peritoneal interposition flap (PIF) technique in preventing postoperative pelvic lymphocele formation during laparoscopic radical prostatectomy with extended pelvic lymph node dissection (LRP+ ePLND).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of 113 patients with locally high-risk or locally advanced prostate cancer who underwent LRP+ ePLND at Shanghai East Hospital, from January 2020 to November 2023. Among them, 27 patients received PIF technique and 86 received traditional LRP+ ePLND. ePLND was carried out as the clearance of external iliac vessels, medial side of the internal iliac artery, and pararectal lymph nodes. The PIF technique was the suturing the peritoneal flap after freeing the bladder to the lateral side of the bladder, pulling the peritoneal edge that follows the bladder's free edge posteriorly to the pubis, curling it onto the lateral surface of the bladder. This could expose the lymph node clearance bed, establishing a pathway from the lymph node clearance bed to the abdominal cavity space, allowing exuded lymphatic fluid to flow into the abdominal cavity for absorption by the peritoneum. There were no statistically significant differences in age [(68.37±6.92)years vs.(70.47±5.72)years], body mass index [(25.47±2.49)kg/m 2vs.(24.46±2.80)kg/m 2], and preoperative PSA [(23.28±13.94)ng/ml vs.(24.81±13.99)ng/ml] between the PIF group and the control group ( P>0.05). Biopsy Gleason score in PIF group: 6 in 2 cases, 7 in 9 cases, 8 in 9 cases, 9-10 in 2 cases. Biopsy Gleason score in control group: 6 in 4 cases, 7 in 35 cases, 8 in 27 cases, 9-10 in 20 cases. Clinic stage in PIF group: T 2 in 18 cases, T 3 in 6 cases, T 4 in 3 cases. Clinic stage in control group: T 2 in 51cases, T 3 in 27 cases, T 4 in 8 cases. The preoperative Gleason scores and TNM staging comparisons between the PIF group and the control group showed no statistically significant differences ( P>0.05). Surgical duration, intraoperative blood loss, lymph node positivity rate, incidence of postoperative lymphocele, and recovery of urinary control were compared between the two groups. Results:All surgeries were completed successfully without intraoperative complications in both groups. There were no statistically significant differences between the PIF group and the control group in terms of surgical duration [(202.96±24.15)min vs.(201.1±29.85)min], intraoperative blood loss [(85.56±32.27)ml vs.(90.7±49.25)ml], and lymph node positivity rate [(4 in PIF group, 14.8%)vs.(25 in control group, 29.1%)]( P>0.05). Urinary catheters were retained for 10-14 days postoperatively. Following catheter removal, there were no statistically significant differences in urinary control rates at 1 month [51.85%(14/27)vs. 48.83%(42/86)]and 2 months[74.07%(20/27) vs. 72.09%(62/86)] between the PIF group and the control group ( P>0.05). At the 2 to 6-month follow-up CT scan, none of the 27 patients in the PIF group developed pelvic lymphocele, whereas 9 patients in the control group did (6 cases bilateral, 3 cases unilateral), showing a statistically significant difference between the two groups ( P=0.002). Postoperatively, 3 patients in the control group experienced symptoms, with 1 case of lymphocele infection causing fever 1 month after surgery. Lymphocysts were found in 2 patients with ipsilateral lower extremity swelling 2 weeks after surgery. Conclusions:The application of PIF technique during laparoscopic radical prostatectomy with extended pelvic lymph node dissection via the abdominal approach could be safe and feasible. It may prevent postoperative pelvic lymphocele formation.

Objective To investigate the mechanism underlying gasdermin E(GSDME)-mediated pyroptosis in radiation-induced intestinal injury and to find out whether gasdermin(GSDM)family members regulate pyroptosis through similar signaling pathways.Methods Human normal colon epithelial cells(NCM460)and human colon cancer cells(HT-29)were exposed to radiation of different doses and durations before pyroptosis indicators were evaluated by observing pyroptotic bubbles,cell survival,and the cleavage of pyroptosis execution proteins.HT-29 cells overexpressing GSDME were subjected to radiation,followed by enrichment analysis of pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes using RNA-seq.Results Radiation induced substantial pyroptosis in NCM460 cells.Overexpression of GSDME in HT-29 cells resulted in substantial radiation-induced pyroptosis.The pyroptosis state of human intestinal cells was simulated in the HT-29 model cell line.Overexpressions of GSDME-N and GSDMD-N resulted in the expression of more than 50％ of the differentially expressed genes in the pyroptosis state.Sequencing analysis showed that the genes in the pyroptosis state were mainly overrepresented in immune response,inflammatory response,and Rapl signaling pathway.Conclusion GSDME activation can mediate radiation-induced pyroptosis by producing GSDME-N fragments.GSDM family members participate in pyroptosis in a similar mode of regulation.Furthermore,radiation-induced activation of GSDME/D may regulate pyroptosis through immune response,inflammatory response,and Rap1 signaling pathway.

Objective To explore the relationships between headache and pulmonary function,chronic lung disease(CLD)in middle-aged and elderly people in China.Methods This cross-sectional study collected data from participants aged 45 and above in the 2015 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study(CHARLS).Headache was diagnosed based on self-report,and CLD and asthma were defined by self-reported doctor diagnoses or a combination of health assessments and medication use.Peak expiratory flow(PEF)was used as an indicator of pulmonary function.Multivariable logistic regression model was used to analyze the correlations between PEF,asthma,CLD,and headache.Relationship between PEF and headache was analyzed by restricted cubic spline(RCS)analysis and subgroup analysis.Results Among 12 661 middle-aged and elderly participants,the prevalence of headache was 14.42%(1 826/12 661),with a prevalence of 9.07%(558/6 151)in males and 19.48%(1 268/6 510)in females.After full adjustment for covariates,each 1 L/s increase in PEF was associated with a 7%reduction in the risk of headache(odds ratio[OR]=0.93,95%confidence interval[CI]0.90-0.96,P＜0.001).Categorizing PEF into quartiles(Q1-Q4),as the increase of PEF,the risk of headache significantly decreased(ORs for Q2,Q3,and Q4 were 0.92,0.82,and 0.72,respectively,Ptrend＜0.001).Additionally,asthma(OR=1.78,95%CI 1.43-2.20,P＜0.001)and CLD(OR=2.21,95%CI 1.92-2.53,P＜0.001)were positively associated with the risk of headache.RCS analysis indicated a negative linear correlation between PEF and the risk of headache(Poverall＜0.001,Pnon-linear=0.57).Subgroup analysis revealed that a history of hypertension had a significant impact on the negative association between PEF and headache(Pinteraction＜0.001).Conclusion There is a significant negative correlation between PEF and headache among middle-aged and elderly people in China,while asthma and CLD are positively associated with headache.Improving lung function in middle-aged and elderly populations may be an effective strategy for preventing or alleviating headache.

Objective To monitor the susceptibility of clinical isolates to antimicrobial agents in tertiary hospitals in major regions of China in 2022.Methods Clinical isolates from 58 hospitals in China were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using a unified protocol based on disc diffusion method or automated testing systems.Results were interpreted using the 2022 Clinical &Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)breakpoints.Results A total of 318 013 clinical isolates were collected from January 1,2022 to December 31,2022,of which 29.5％were gram-positive and 70.5％were gram-negative.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species(excluding Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus schleiferi)was 28.3％,76.7％and 77.9％,respectively.Overall,94.0％of MRSA strains were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 90.8％of MRSE strains were susceptible to rifampicin.No vancomycin-resistant strains were found.Enterococcus faecalis showed significantly lower resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents tested than Enterococcus faecium.A few vancomycin-resistant strains were identified in both E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae was 94.2％in the isolates from children and 95.7％in the isolates from adults.The resistance rate to carbapenems was lower than 13.1％in most Enterobacterales species except for Klebsiella,21.7％-23.1％of which were resistant to carbapenems.Most Enterobacterales isolates were highly susceptible to tigecycline,colistin and polymyxin B,with resistance rates ranging from 0.1％to 13.3％.The prevalence of meropenem-resistant strains decreased from 23.5％in 2019 to 18.0％in 2022 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and decreased from 79.0％in 2019 to 72.5％in 2022 in Acinetobacter baumannii.Conclusions The resistance of clinical isolates to the commonly used antimicrobial agents is still increasing in tertiary hospitals.However,the prevalence of important carbapenem-resistant organisms such as carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa,and A.baumannii showed a downward trend in recent years.This finding suggests that the strategy of combining antimicrobial resistance surveillance with multidisciplinary concerted action works well in curbing the spread of resistant bacteria.

Objective Meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of fenestration decompression and curettage in the treatment of jaw cyst.Methods Randomized controlled trials comparing fenestration decompression and curettage in treatment of jaw cysts were retrieved from PubMed,Cochrane Library,CNKI,SinoMed,VIP and Wanfang data from built databases to June 2024.A Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software to compare the rate of capsule volume reduction,bone hyperplasia thickness and bone density at 3,6 and 12 months after treatment with two methods.Results A total of 14 literatures were included.At 3,6 and 12 months after operation,rate of capsule volume reduction and bone density after fenestration decompression were significantly better than that after curettage.At 6 and 12 months after operation,bone hyperplasia thickness after fenestration decompression were significantly greater than that after curettage.Conclusion Fenestration decompression is superior to curettage in the treatment of jaw cyst in terms of rate of capsule volume reduction,bone hyperplasia thickness and bone density.

Purpose: The risk stratification of pediatric anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) has not been standardized. In this study, new risk factors were included to establish a new risk stratification system for ALCL, and its feasibility in clinical practice was explored. Materials and Methods: On the basis of the non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma Berlin–Frankfurt–Munster 95 (NHL-BFM-95) protocol, patients with minimal disseminated disease (MDD), high-risk tumor site (multiple bone, skin, liver, and lung involvement), and small cell/lymphohistiocytic (SC/LH) pathological subtype were enrolled in risk stratification. Patients were treated with a modified NHL-BFM-95 protocol combined with an anaplastic lymphoma kinase inhibitor or vinblastine (VBL). Results: A total of 136 patients were enrolled in this study. The median age was 8.8 years. The 3-year event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival of the entire cohort were 77.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], 69.0% to 83.9%) and 92.3% (95% CI, 86.1% to 95.8%), respectively. The 3-year EFS rates of low-risk group (R1), intermediate-risk group (R2), and high-risk group (R3) patients were 100%, 89.5% (95% CI, 76.5% to 95.5%), and 67.9% (95% CI, 55.4% to 77.6%), respectively. The prognosis of patients with MDD (+), stage IV cancer, SC/LH lymphoma, and high-risk sites was poor, and the 3-year EFS rates were 45.3% (95% CI, 68.6% to 19.0%), 65.7% (95% CI, 47.6% to 78.9%), 55.7% (95% CI, 26.2% to 77.5%), and 70.7% (95% CI, 48.6% to 84.6%), respectively. At the end of follow-up, one of the five patients who received maintenance therapy with VBL relapsed, and seven patients receiving anaplastic lymphoma kinase inhibitor maintenance therapy did not experience relapse. Conclusion This study has confirmed the poor prognostic of MDD (+), high-risk site and SC/LH, but patients with SC/LH lymphoma and MDD (+) at diagnosis still need to receive better treatment (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT03971305).
