Objective To explore the value of oral contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (OCEUS) combined with contrast-enhanced CT in predicting preoperative T staging in patients with gastric cancer. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 80 patients with gastric cancer confirmed via endoscopic biopsy or postoperative pathology at the First People’s Hospital of Jining from January 2021 to November 2024. The cohort included 56 males and 24 females, aged 38-79 years, with a median age of 55.9 years. All patients underwent both OCEUS and contrast-enhanced CT within one week prior to surgery. T staging of gastric cancer was determined using OCEUS, contrast-enhanced CT, or their combination. The results were compared with pathological T staging, and statistical differences in accuracy were analyzed. Results Pathological T staging identified T1 in 9 cases, T2 in 16 cases, T3 in 42 cases, and T4 in 13 cases. OCEUS indicated T1 in 6 cases, T2 in 14 cases, T3 in 50 cases, and T4 in 10 cases, with an accuracy rate of 80.0%. Contrast-enhanced CT indicated T1 in 4 cases, T2 in 12 cases, T3 in 52 cases, and T4 in 12 cases, with an accuracy rate of 75.0%. The combination of OCEUS and contrast-enhanced CT indicated T1 in 6 cases, T2 in 15 cases, T3 in 47 cases, and T4 in 12 cases, with an accuracy rate of 87.5%. The combined approach demonstrated significantly higher accuracy in preoperative T staging compared to either method alone (P < 0.05). Conclusion The combination of OCEUS and contrast-enhanced CT improves the accuracy of preoperative T staging in gastric cancer patients, providing valuable support for their diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:
To analyze the influence of stress and psychological resilience on the dietary behavior of middle school students so as to privide a basis for the development of policies and interventions aimed at improving middle school students dietary behavior.
Methods:
A total of 8 874 middle school students in Shanghai were surveyed using stratified cluster random sampling method from November 2019 to January 2020. The questionnaire included general information, dietary behavior, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10). Factor analysis was used to analyze the dietary behavior model. Logistic regression model was used to explore the correlation between stress, psychological resilience and dietary behavior in adolescents. Besides, a structural equation model was established to analyze the mediating effect of psychological resilience on stress and dietary behavior.
Results:
The total score of psychological resilience among middle school students was (27.99±9.83), and the total score of stress was (25.56±7.06). Factor analysis categorized dietary behavior into two types: the high energy dietary behavior and balanced dietary behavior. High energy dietary behavior exhibited statistically significant differences across genders and schooling stage ( χ 2=41.37, 204.03), while balanced dietary behavior showed statistically significant differences across schooling stage and socioeconomic status ( χ 2=130.23, 96.53) (all P <0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that adolescents with moderate and high stress levels had an increased risks of high energy dietary behavior ( OR=1.25, 95%CI =1.12-1.39; OR=1.58, 95% CI = 1.39-1.79) and a reduced likelihood of reduced balanced dietary behavior ( OR=0.73, 95%CI =0.65-0.81; OR=0.53, 95%CI =0.47-0.60); adolescents with high levels of psychological resilience had a decreased risk of highenergy dietary behavior ( OR= 0.73 , 95%CI =0.65-0.83), and those with moderate and high resilience levels showed improved balanced dietary behavior ( OR= 1.45 , 95%CI =1.29-1.62; OR=2.50, 95%CI =2.21-2.84) (all P <0.01). The mediating effect of psychological resilience between stress and high energy dietary behavior or balanced dietary behavior accounted for 15.61% and 56.10% of the total effects, respectively.
Conclusions
Stress and psychological resilience are the influencing factors of dietary behavior in middle school students. Psychological resilience have a partial mediating effect between stress and high energy dietary behavior or balanced dietary behavior.

Objective To evaluate cardiac involvement in patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) using echocardiography combined with electrocardiography. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the detailed medical records of AAV patients treated in Jining First People’s Hospital between January 2020 and December 2024. Eighty patients were enrolled in the AAV group, and the risk of heart disease was compared between the AAV group and a control group with 80 subjects matched for age, sex, and cardiovascular disease risk factors. Results Electrocardiographic abnormalities were observed in 78.75% of patients in the AAV group, while significant electrocardiographic abnormalities only occurred in symptomatic patients in the control group. There were no differences in left atrial enlargement or interventricular septal thickening between the AAV group and the control group. The overall left ventricular systolic function in the AAV group was lower than that in the control group (8.75% vs. 0). The incidence of reduced diastolic function in the AAV group was significantly higher than that in the control group (37.5% vs. 15%). The incidence rates of tricuspid regurgitation, mitral regurgitation, aortic regurgitation, and pericardial effusion in the AAV group were significantly higher than those in the control group. Pericardial thickening, aortic stenosis, pulmonary hypertension, and rare periaortic granulomas were found in the AAV group, but not in the control group. Conclusion Echocardiography and electrocardiography are important examination methods for evaluating cardiac involvement in AAV. These methods have key roles in disease screening, diagnosis and treatment, follow-up, and prognosis judgment.

ObjectiveTo analyze the quantity-quality transfer of standard decoction of Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma(GRR) decoction pieces produced by fresh and traditional cutting, and to provide reference for quality control and application development of the decoction pieces produced by fresh cutting. MethodTen batches of representative GRR decoction pieces produced by fresh and traditional cutting and their standard decoctions were prepared by standard process, and high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) fingerprint of the standard decoction was established and performed on an Agilent EC-C18 column(4.6 mm×150 mm, 2.7 μm) with acetonitrile(A)-0.1% phosphoric acid aqueous solution(B) as the mobile phase for gradient elution(0-23 min, 18%-21%A; 23-35 min, 21%-28%A; 35-80 min, 28%-32%A), and the detection wavelength was 203 nm. Then similarity evaluation, principal component analysis(PCA) and partial least squares-discriminant analysis(PLS-DA) of fingerprint of the standard decoction were performed to screen the differential components with variable importance in the projection(VIP) value>1. Quantitative analysis was carried out on the screened known differential components, and combined with the indicators of the dry extract rate and the transfer rate, to explore the differences in the quantity-quality transfer between the standard decoction of GRR decoction pieces produced by fresh and traditional cutting. ResultThe fingerprint similarity of the standard decoction of GRR decoction pieces produced by fresh and traditional cutting was more than 0.950, and 18 common peaks were identified, including 9 identified common peaks. The results of PCA and PLS-DA showed that there were some differences in the contents of index components between the two standard decoctions. The contents of ginsenoside Rg1, Re and Ro in GRR decoction pieces produced by fresh cutting were higher than those in traditional decoction pieces, while the contents of ginsenoside Rb1, Rc , Rb2 and Rd were lower than those in traditional decoction pieces. The contents of ginsenoside Rg1, Re, Rb1 and Ro in the standard decoction of GRR decoction pieces produced by fresh cutting were higher than those in the standard decoction of traditional decoction pieces, while the contents of ginsenoside Rc , Rb2 and Rd were comparable between the two standard decoctions. Compared with the standard decoction of the traditional decoction pieces, the average transfer rates of ginsenoside Rg1, Rb1, Rc, Rb2 and dry extract rate of the standard decoction of GRR decoction pieces produced by fresh cutting were significantly increased(P<0.05), and the average transfer rate of ginsenoside Re and Rd also increased, but the difference was not statistically significant. ConclusionThe dry extract rate, content and transfer rate of index components of standard decoction of GRR decoction pieces produced by fresh cutting are better than those of the standard decoction of traditional decoction pieces, which can provides data support for the subsequent clinical application of fresh cutting products.

ObjectiveTo analyze the interannual fluctuation, seasonal fluctuation, habitat distribution and the correlation of the 3 monitoring indicators of Aedes albopictus in Yangpu District of Shanghai from 2017 to 2021, and to provide a scientific basis for A. albopictus control and rational use of the indicators. MethodsThe density surveillance data of A. albopictus recorded by Breteau index (BI), Path index (PI) and the mosquito ovitrap index (MOI) from 2017 to 2021 in Yangpu District, Shanghai were compared. Microsoft Excel 2019 software was used for data summary and SPSS 25.0 software was used for statistical analysis. ResultsFrom 2017 to 2021, there were two months with BI>5, and the PI were all above the density control level of Class C, and there were nine months with MOI≥5. In 2017, BI was higher than in the other four years, with statistically significant differences (all P≤0.001). MOI in 2017 and 2020 was higher than in 2019 (P=0.029, P=0.004) and 2021 (P=0.005, P=0.001), with statistical significance. MOI for different types of habitats varied significantly, with a statistically significant difference (P=0.004). A linear correlation was observed between BI and PI (r=0.462, P=0.010). ConclusionBI, PI and MOI are used simultaneously to reflect the density of A. albopictus in Yangpu District of Shanghai. However, these three monitoring indicators show poor linear correlation. Comprehensively considering the scientific aspects of monitoring methods and seasonal fluctuations of indicators, it is suggested that MOI should be used as the main index to evaluate the density of A. albopictus. In the MOI, attention should be paid to factors such as the distribution of the habitats, the standardization of operating methods, and quality control, which are essential for enhancing the reliability of the MOI.

Objective To investigate the expressions of extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer(EMMPRIN),matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9),lysine demethylase 6B(KDM6B)proteins and their correlation with clinicopathologic features in invasive breast cancer,and analyze the correlation among the three proteins and their value in pathological diagnosis of invasive breast cancer.Methods The surgical biopsy specimens of 124 patients with invasive breast cancer who were admitted to the Department of Pathology,the Fifth Clinical Medical College of Henan University of Chinese Medicine/People's Hospital of Zhengzhou from January 2014 to December 2017 were selected as research subjects,and 20 low-grade intraductal carcinoma tissue specimens,27 high-grade intraductal carcinoma tissue specimens,and 22 adjacent tissue specimens>1 cm away from the invasive breast cancer were selected as controls.The expressions of EMMPRIN,MMP-9 and KDM6B proteins in cancer-adjacent tissues,low-grade intraductal carcinoma tissues,high-grade intraductal carcinoma tissues and invasive breast cancer tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry.The relationship between the relative expressions of EMMPRIN,MMP-9 and KDM6B proteins and clinicopathologic features of invasive breast cancer was analyzed,Spearman correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation of EMMPRIN,MMP-9 and KDM6B proteins in breast cancer tissues,and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was adopted to evaluate the diagnostic value of EMMPRIN,MMP-9 and KDM6B for invasive breast cancer.Results The relative expressions of EMMPRIN and MMP-9 proteins in high-grade intraductal carcinoma and invasive breast cancer tissues were significantly higher those in cancer-adjacent tissues and low-grade intraductal carcinoma tissues,and the relative expression of KDM6B protein was significantly lower than those in cancer-adjacent tissues and low-grade intraductal carcinoma tissues(P<0.05);the relative expressions of EMMPRIN and MMP-9 proteins in invasive breast cancer tissues were significantly higher those in high-grade intraductal carcinoma tissues,and the relative expression of KDM6B protein was significantly lower than that in high-grade intraductal carcinoma tissues(P<0.05);there was no statistically significant difference in the relative expressions of EMMPRIN,MMP-9 and KDM6B proteins between cancer-adjacent tissues and low-grade intraductal carcinoma tissues(P>0.05).The relative expressions of EMMPRIN and KDM6B proteins were not related to the age,tumor location and tumor diameter of patients with invasive breast cancer(P>0.05),and the relative expression of MMP-9 protein was not related to the age and tumor location of patients with invasive breast cancer(P>0.05).Relative expressions of EMMPRIN,MMP-9 and KDM6B proteins were correlated with WHO grading,lymph node metastasis,and tumor,node and metastasis(TNM)staging of invasive breast cancer(P<0.05),and the relative expression of MMP-9 protein was correlated with the tumor diameter(P<0.05).In the WHO grades Ⅰ,Ⅱ,and Ⅲ of invasive breast cancer,the relative expressions of EMMPRIN and MMP-9 proteins increased sequentially,while the relative expression of KDM6B protein decreased sequentially(P<0.05);the relative expressions of EMMPRIN and MMP-9 proteins in the lymph node metastasis group were significantly higher than those in the non-lymph node metastasis group,and the relative expression of KDM6B protein was significantly lower than that in the non-lymph node metastasis group(P<0.05);the relative expressions of EMMPRIN and MMP-9 proteins in TNM stages Ⅲ-Ⅳ were significantly higher than those in stages Ⅰ-Ⅱ(P<0.05),while the relative expression of KDM6B protein was significantly lower than that in stages Ⅰ-Ⅱ(P<0.05).In the group of invasive breast cancer with diameter≤2 cm,2 to 5 cm,and>5 cm,the relative expression of MMP-9 protein increased sequentially(P<0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that the expression of EMMPRIN was positively correlated with MMP-9 protein in invasive breast cancer tissues(r=0.990,P=0.000),the expression of EMMPRIN was negatively correlated with KDM6B protein(r=-0.606,P=0.000),and the expression of MMP-9 was negatively correlated with KDM6B protein(r=-0.612,P=0.000).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of EMMPRIN protein for diagnosing invasive breast cancer was 0.875[95%confidence interval(CI):0.823-0.926,P<0.05],with an optimal threshold of 10.043,sensitivity of 79.0%,and specificity of 76.8%;the AUC of MMP-9 protein in diagnosing invasive breast cancer was 0.863(95%CI:0.808-0.917,P<0.05),with an optimal threshold of 10.070,sensitivity of 74.2%,and specificity of 76.8%;the AUC of KDM6B protein in diagnosing invasive breast cancer was 0.267(95%CI:0.196-0.338,P<0.05),with an optimal threshold of 11.003,sensitivity of 71.0%,and specificity of 98.6%.Conclusion EMMPRIN,MMP-9 and KDM6B are related to the occurrence and development of invasive breast cancer.Detection of the expressions of EMMPRIN,MMP-9 and KDM6B is helpful to the pathological diagnosis of invasive breast cancer and clinical judgment of invasion and metastasis of breast cancer.

Objective:
To understand the situation of mosquito larva breeding and adult mosquito density among schools in Yangpu District, Shanghai Municipality before the start of the fall semester, so as to provide insights into mosquito prevention and control in schools.
Methods:
A stratified sampling method was used to select four schools each from universities, primary and secondary schools, and preschool institutions as survey sites. A survey of mosquito larva breeding sites and adult mosquito density was carried out in August each year from 2021 to 2023. The mosquito larva breeding sites in small and large water bodies were investigated by visual inspection and spoon trapping methods, and adult mosquito density was investigated by human-induced stinging method. The positive rate of mosquito larva breeding sites and adult mosquito landing index were analyzed.
Results:
Totally 1 253 mosquito larva breeding sites were investigated from 2021 to 2023, and the positive rate was 4.07% (51 positive sites). The positive rates of mosquito larva breeding sites in universities, primary and secondary schools and preschool institutions were 2.36%, 4.05% and 8.30%, respectively. The top three positive breeding sites in small water bodies were tyres (6.67%), small stagnant water in green belts (6.04%) and unused containers (5.92%), and Aedes albopictus was the dominant species (97.21%). The top three positive breeding sites in large water bodies were rainwater wells (3.90%), landscape water bodies (3.45%) and sewage wells (3.23%), and Culex pipiens pallens and Aedes albopictus each accounted for 50.00%. A total of 200 adult mosquitoes were captured from 2021 to 2023, with Aedes albopictus being dominant (93.00%). The total landing index decreased and then rebounded slightly from 2021 to 2023, with the highest seen in 2021 as 1.78 mosquitoes/0.5 hours per person. The highest mean adult mosquito landing index was 1.17 mosquitoes/0.5 hours per person in preschool institutions.
Conclusions
The positive rates of mosquito larva breeding sites and landing index of adult mosquitoes among schools in Yangpu District before the start of the fall semester from 2021 to 2023 were higher than the relevant provisions of the Shanghai municipal local standards. Aedes albopictus was the dominant species. Mosquito surveillance in schools should be carried out on a regular basis and hygiene management should be strengthened.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features, immunophenotype, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of SRF-rearranged cellular perivascular myoid tumor.Methods:Two cases of SRF-rearranged cellular perivascular myoid tumor diagnosed in the Department of Pathology, Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from October 2021 to March 2022 were collected. Immunohistochemical staining, fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) and next-generation sequencing (NGS) were performed, and the literature was reviewed.Results:Case 1, a 3-month-old boy presented with a painless tumor of the scalp, measuring about 2 cm in diameter. Case 2, a 3-year-old girl complained with a painless tumor of the knee, measuring approximately 1.5 cm in diameter. Microscopically, the tumor had a clear boundary and showed multinodular growth. The tumor was mainly composed of spindle cells arranged in long intersecting fascicles associated with thin, slit-like or branching ectatic vessels, focally forming hemangiopericytoma-like appearance. The tumor cells were abundant, but there was no obvious atypia. Mitotic figures (3-4/10 HPF) were noted. H-caldesmon and SMA were positive in both cases. Case 1 showed diffuse and strong positivity for Desmin, and focally for CKpan. Ki-67 proliferation index was 20% and 30%, respectively. FISH displayed NCOA2 gene translocation in case 1 and the RELA gene translocation in case 2. NGS detected the SRF-NCOA2 gene fusion in case 1 and the SRF-RELA gene fusion in case 2. Both patients underwent local excisions. During the follow-up of 5-14 months, case 1 had no local recurrence, while case 2 developed local recurrence 1 year post operatively.Conclusions:SRF-rearranged cellular perivascular myoid tumor is a novel variant of perivascular cell tumor, which tends to occur in children and adolescents. The tumor forms a broad morphologic spectrum ranging from a pericytic pattern to a myoid pattern, and include hybrid tumors with a mixture of pericytic and myoid patterns. Due to its diffuse hypercellularity and increased mitotic figures and smooth muscle-like immunophenotype, the tumor is easy to be misdiagnosed as myogenic sarcomas. The tumor usually pursues a benign clinical course and rare cases may locally recur.
