Objective To explore the value of Nacotrend and the degree and prognosis of disturbance of consciousness in craniocerebral injured patients. Methods Forty craniocerebral injured patients were observed and Nacotrend index (NI) and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) were evaluated 24 h after the operation. After followed up for 3 months, the patients with Glasgow coma scale (GOS) 4-5 scores were enrolled into in good recovery group and the patients with GOS 1-3 scores were enrolled into bad recovery group. The correlation of NI and prognosis was analyzed. Results There were 17 cases in the good recovery group, and 23 cases in the bad recovery group. Pearson correlation coefficient of NI and GCS was 0.721, P<0.01. The level of NI in good recovery group was 64.26±12.73, in bad recovery group was 29.57±8.12, and there was significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusion NI can be used in coma patients for consciousness grading assessment and also can correctly evaluate the prognosis.

Objective To identify the imaging features of pancreatic acinar cell carcinomas.Methods Eleven patients of pancreatic acinar cell carcinomas proven surgically and pathologically were included.We retrospectively evaluated the CT and MR findings including the location, size, shape, margin, necrosis , calcification, hemorrhage, enhancement degree, enhancement pattern, invasion to other organs, perilesional lymph nodes, metastasis, recurrence.Results The tumors were distributed in the head(n=4), body and tail(n=4),tail(n=3) of pancreas.The median tumor size was 97 mm(27 to 180 mm).Nine cases presented with a well-defined enhancing capsule.Tumor vessels could be seen in 9 cases.Seven cases were hypovascular while the other 4 were hypervascular.Different extents of necrosis could be seen in all masses as a swirling or cleft low density in the enhanced tumors, with an median of 10% (2% to 25%).The hypovascular masses more frequently demonstrated a lobulated tumor, heterogeneous enhancement pattern, with a larger necrotic component and were more common invasion to other organs.Conclusions Pancreatic acinar ccll carcinoma typically presents as a sizable pancreatic mass with a well-defined enhancing capsule.

MicroRNA (miRNA) is a kind of small non-coding RNA that regulates gene expression at the posttranscriptional level through inhibition of translation or degradation of messenger RNA.MiRNA is involved in the regulation of many cellular biological processes,and its abnormal expression closely relates to development of tumors.MiR-483 plays an important role in the tumorgenesis or development,meanwhile,its role in digestive system tumors has aroused widespread attention.
4.Cluster characteristics of physical activities among children inside and outside kindergartens and its relationship with athletic abilities
Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(10):1560-1563
Objective:
Based on physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) variables on weekdays and weekends, the study aims to cluster the physical activities inside and outside kindergartens and to explore the cluster characteristics of different children using physical fitness indicators, so as to provide new strategies and methods for early childhood education and health.
Methods:
From March to June 2019, 291 children aged 3-6 years from 6 kindergartens in Nanchang were recruited by a stratified cluster random sampling method. The ActiGraph GT3X-BT triaxial accelerometer was used to measure and analyze the PA and SB levels inside and outside the kindergarten. A twostep clustering algorithm model was employed for cluster analysis. Physical fitness were measured and evaluated according to the "National Physical Fitness Measurement Standard Manual (Preschool Section)". Differences in physical fitness among different clusters of children were compared, and the cluster characteristics of different children were analyzed.
Results:
The clustering algorithm model indicated that based on six indicators, including PA and SB inside the kindergarten on weekdays, and PA and SB outside the kindergarten on both weekdays and weekends, children could be divided into three categories:active inside (high PA, low SB inside), active outside (high PA outside), and inactive (low PA, high SB both inside and outside). The average silhouette coefficient of the model was 0.3, indicating good clustering results. Both the active inside and active outside children showed significantly higher PA inside on weekdays, PA outside on weekdays and weekends, daily low intensity physical activity (LPA) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) than the inactive children ( F=157.91, 80.79 , 95.86, 95.52, 124.74, P <0.05). After adjusting for gender and age, the physical fitness scores of both active outside ( 19.03 ±0.47) and active inside (19.11±0.40) were significantly higher than those of the inactive children (17.94±0.31). Additionally, active inside children (3.91±0.14) also showed significantly better performance in continuous double-leg jumps, compared to inactive children (3.45±0.11) ( P <0.05).
Conclusion
Children active inside and those active outside perform well in PA. Future research should focus on the proportion of structured and unstructured PA time to enhance the overall physical fitness of children.

Objective:
To analyze the efficiency and safety of navigation guided extraction of impacted supernumerary tooth.
Methods:
Twenty-five cases of navigation guided supernumerary tooth extraction and 25 cases of non-navigation guided supernumerary tooth extraction (control group) were included in the study. Each group had 3 cases with one impacted supernumerary tooth and 22 cases with two impacted teeth.
Results:
Preoperative navigation system designing time was (45.0±8.0) min in average. Navigation system installation time was (15.0±2.8) min. The average operation time was (0.64±0.08) hour in navigation group and (0.91±0.09) hour in control group.
Conclusions
Navigation guided extraction of impacted supernumerary tooth takes less time for operation but more time for the preoperative navigation system design.
