Objective: This study aimed to explore the correlation between balance function and core muscle activation in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), compared to healthy individuals. Methods: A total of 24 AIS patients and 25 healthy controls were recruited. The limits of stability (LOS) test were conducted to assess balance function, while surface electromyography was used to measure the activity of core muscles, including the internal oblique, external oblique, and multifidus. Diaphragm thickness was measured using ultrasound during different postural tasks. Center of pressure (COP) displacement and trunk inclination distance were also recorded during the LOS test. Results: AIS patients showed significantly greater activation of superficial core muscles, such as the internal and external oblique muscles, compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Diaphragm activation was lower in AIS patients during balance tasks (p < 0.01). Although no significant difference was observed in COP displacement between the groups, trunk inclination was significantly greater in the AIS group during certain tasks (p < 0.05). Conclusion These findings suggest distinct postural control patterns in AIS patients, highlighting the importance of targeted interventions to improve balance and core muscle function in this population.

Based on the strategy of metabolomics combined with bioinformatics, this study analyzed the potential allergens and mechanism of pseudo-allergic reactions (PARs) induced by the combined use of Reduning injection and penicillin G injection. All animal experiments and welfare are in accordance with the requirements of the First Affiliated Experimental Animal Ethics and Animal Welfare Committee of Henan University of Chinese Medicine (approval number: YFYDW2020002). Based on UPLC-Q-TOF/MS technology combined with UNIFI software, a total of 21 compounds were identified in Reduning and penicillin G mixed injection. Based on molecular docking technology, 10 potential allergens with strong binding activity to MrgprX2 agonist sites were further screened. Metabolomics analysis using UPLC-Q-TOF/MS technology revealed that 34 differential metabolites such as arachidonic acid, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine, prostaglandins, and leukotrienes were endogenous differential metabolites of PARs caused by combined use of Reduning injection and penicillin G injection. Through the analysis of the "potential allergen-target-endogenous differential metabolite" interaction network, the chlorogenic acids (such as chlorogenic acid, neochlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, and isochlorogenic acid A) and β-lactam allergens in the combination of the two may be mainly regulated by PLD1, PLA2G12A and CYP1A1. The three upstream signal target proteins mainly activate the arachidonic acid metabolic pathway, promote the degranulation of mast cells, release downstream endogenous inflammatory mediators, and induce PARs.

The pre-metabolic disease state is the body state of substance metabolism disorder that has not yet reached the physical and chemical indicators of the disease, and abnormal glucose metabolism is often the key link of metabolic disorder. In TCM, the healthy function of the spleen is the cornerstone of the production and distribution of fine substances. This article discussed the pre-metabolic disease state based on the theory of "overflow of Five Qi" in the Nei Jing, taking the loss of spleen preparedness as the starting point, in order to provide new ideas and directions for the prevention and treatment of clinical metabolic diseases.

ObjectiveTo construct a quantitative prediction model of three indicators（moisture absorption rate， film thickness and coating weight gain） during the coating process of Vitamin C Yinqiao tablets（VCYT） by near-infrared spectroscopy（NIRS）， and to realize the endpoint judgment. MethodReal-time NIRS data of 4 batches of VCYT during the coating process were collected by diffuse reflection method. The coating method employed was the rolling coating method， and the samples were obtained at the spray stage from the coater's sampling port every 10 minutes， and 57 batches of samples（about 1 800 tablets） were collected at various coating times， the tablets were embedded in molten paraffin， cut longitudinally， and observed by stereomicroscope. The film thickness， with a target value of 38 μm， was then measured using Motic Images Advanced 3.2 software. Furthermore， the mositure absorption rate of samples， aiming for a target value of 3%， was determined in accordance with guiding principles for drug hygroscopicity testing in the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia， and 3 samples were randomly selected from each batch（10 tablets per batch）， and the coating weight gain was calculated（target value of 4%）. Partial least squares regression（PLSR） was used to construct a quantitative model of the 3 coating indicators， and the predicted values of the coating indicators were smoothed using the moving average method and used to determine the coating endpoints. ResultThe prediction determination coefficients（R_p²） for moisture absorption rate， film thickness and coating weight gain were 0.933 4， 0.932 6 and 0.965 9， the root mean square errors of prediction（RMSEP） were 0.163 5%， 1.870 9 μm and 0.240 3%， the relative percent deviations（RPD） were 3.711 0， 2.760 7 and 5.415 8， respectively. The results of the external validation set demonstrated that the real-time predicted values obtained by the models exhibited the same trend as the measured values， and the coating endpoint could be accurately predicted（with a prediction error of less than 7.32 min and a relative error of less than 5.63%）. ConclusionThe established NIRS model exhibits excellent predictive performance and can be used for quality control of VCYT during the coating process.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors of early postoperative complications after radical resection of congenital choledochal cyst (CCC) in a single center and provide some clinical basis and guidance for reducing postoperative complications.Methods:Case control study.Clinical data of 124 children (29 boys and 95 girls) with CCC diagnosed and radically treated at the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University from September 2010 to October 2019 were analyzed.According to postoperative complications (bile leakage, gastrointestinal anastomotic fistula, bleeding, incision dehiscence, cholangitis, abdominal infection, pancreatitis, and lymphatic fistula), these children were divided into the complication group (group A) and non-complication group (group B). Age, laboratory indicators[preoperative white blood cell (WBC) count, hemoglobin, glutamic pyruvic transaminase, prealbumin, and postoperative albumin], and clinical factors, such as operation method, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, cyst type, cyst diameter, hepatic duct diameter, abdominal operation history, biliary sludge and calculus, hepatic duct anatomic variation, and pancreaticobiliary maljunction were statistically analyzed between the two groups.The t-test was performed for normal distribution of the measurement data, and the non-parametric rank sum test for non-normal distribution.Multivariate analysis was made using Logistic regression. Results:Among the 124 children, 25(20.16%) had complications, and 99(79.84%) had no complications.Bile leakage occurred in 14 children (11.29%), of whom 7 received operation again and 7 received conservative treatment.Gastrointestinal anastomotic fistula occurred in 2 children (1.61%), of whom 1 was re-operated and 1 was cured conservatively.One child (0.81%) was complicated with bleeding and cured by re-operation.Two children (1.61%) were complicated with incision dehiscence, of whom 1 was cured by re-operation and 1 was cured by conservative treatment.Cholangitis in 2 children (1.61%), abdominal infection in 2 children (1.61%), pancreatitis in 1 child (0.81%), and lymphatic fistula in 1 child (0.81%) were all conservatively cured.No significant difference was found in non-normal distribution indicators-age and WBC count-between the two groups (all P>0.05). Blood loss volume and cyst diameter were significantly different between the two groups (all P<0.05). Postoperative albumin[(27.84±4.62) g/L vs.(32.45±3.72) g/L] meeting the normal distribution showed a statistically significant difference between the two groups ( t=5.254, P<0.05). Logistic multivariate regression analysis suggested that preoperative anemia ( OR=7.922, 95% CI: 1.468-42.757) and biliary sludge and calculus ( OR=1.295, 95% CI: 1.075-4.359) were independent risk factors for postoperative complications; postoperative albumin ( OR=0.055, 95% CI: 0.012-0.244) was a protective factor for postoperative complications, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The larger the cyst diameter, the more the intraoperative bleeding, and the higher the risk of operation.Treating anemia before operation, clearing sludge in the hepatic duct during operation, reducing bleeding, and strengthening the monitoring of albumin and hemoglobin during the perioperative period can prevent and reduce early complications after radical resection of CCC in children.
