This article presented the maternal and infant outcomes of glycogen storage disease type Ⅲa (GSDⅢa) in a woman with full-term pregnancy. The woman exhibited symptoms of hypoglycemia when she was three months old, which were alleviated with intravenous glucose infusion. At the age of 19, during surgical treatment for scoliosis, she was found with liver cirrhosis, splenomegaly, and thrombocytopenia. Glycogen debranching enzyme deficiency was detected through liver biopsies, leading to the clinical diagnosis of GSDⅢ (unspecified genotype). The patient was admitted after conceiption due to "irregular lower abdominal pain for 1 day" at 34 weeks and 3 days. Through multidisciplinary management in the late pregnancy, which included medication adjustments, dietary instruction, and platelet transfusions both at half an hour before and during the operation, the patient underwent a cesarean section at 37 +1 weeks of gestation and delivered a healthy boy with normal Apgar scores at 1, 5, and 10 min. The mother followed a high-protein diet postpartum and the newborn experienced hypoglycemia after birth. Intravenous glucose was supplied to the infant, restabilizing his blood glucose. Maternal and neonatal blood glucose both remained stable. Postpartum whole-exome sequencing identified compound heterozygous variants in the mother, which were in the AGL gene at chr1:100379102-100379103 with gene variant information of NM_000642.2:c.3971_3972delAT(p.Tyr1324*) and at chr1:100345603 with gene variant information of NM_000642.2:c.1735+1G>T, confirming the diagnosis of GSDⅢa. The newborn carried a heterozygous variant in the AGL gene at chr1:100379102-100379103 with gene variant information of NM_000642.2:c.3971_3972delAT(p.Tyr1324*). Postpartum follow-ups showed stable blood glucose levels for the mother and normal growth and development for the newborn.

Objective:To analyze the cardio-pulmonary ultrasound features of cardiogenic pulmonary edema (CPE) and pneumonia in adults with acute dyspnea, and to construct a differential diagnosis model.Methods:Seven hundred and forty-three patients with sudden acute dyspnea admitted to Hebei General Hospital from November 2018 to May 2022 were retropectively included. Ultrasonographer A performed lung ultrasound with 12 zone method, and interpreted and recorded the ultrasonic signs (including A-lines area, B-lines area, consolidation area and pleural effusion area) together with ultrasonographer B. According to the ultrasonic characteristics of the whole lung, it was divided into A-profile and B-profile. According to the continuity and symmetry of the distribution of B-lines in bilateral lung fields, it could be divided into bilateral lung continuous and discontinuous B-profile, bilateral lung symmetric and asymmetric B-profile. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular filling pressure (E/e′), right ventricular dilatation, tricuspid annular systolic displacement (TAPSE) and inferior vena cava diameter (IVCD) were evaluated by echocardiography, and all the indexes were transformed into binary variables. According to the final clinical diagnosis and treatment results, the disease was divided into CPE group and pneumonia group. Binary Logistic regression model was used to screen independent influencing factors, and partial regression coefficient β value was used as a weight to assign a score, and a differential diagnosis model was established based on the total score. The predictive value of the model was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and area under curve (AUC). After the model was built, 30 patients with CPE or pneumonia were independently collected by ultrasonographer C as external validation data, which were included in the model to draw ROC curve and evaluate the differential diagnosis efficiency of the model. The consistencies between ultrasonographer A and B, A and C in observing lung ultrasound were explored.Results:A total of 743 patients from 43 clinical departments were included, including 246 cases in CPE group and 497 cases in pneumonia group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that bilateral lung continuous B-profile, bilateral lung symmetric B-profile, ≥1 pleural effusion area, LVEF<50%, E/e′>14 were the risk factors for CPE (all OR>1, P<0.05), and ≥1 consolidation area and ≥1 pleural sliding disappearance area were the protective factors for CPE (all OR>1, P<0.05). The sensitivity, specificity and AUC of combined cardio-pulmonary ultrasound index β value weight score in the differential diagnosis of CPE and pneumonia were 0.939, 0.956 and 0.986, respectively. The AUC of external validation data was 0.904. Ultrasonographer A and B, A and C had good consistency in the interpretation of lung ultrasound signs ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The differential diagnosis model based on combined cardio-pulmonary ultrasound indexes has high differential diagnosis efficiency for CPE and pneumonia, and can be used in bedside cardio-pulmonary ultrasound practice.

Objective To explore the effect of head acupuncturing therapy combined with massaging key head acupoints on language and cognitive function in children with autism.Methods 60 children with autism who visited the Department of Pediatric Rehabilitation of our hospital from January 2021 to June 2022 were selected as subjects,who were then randomly divided into the conventional group treated with the conventional rehabilitation training and the combination group treated with head acupuncturing therapy combined with massaging the key acu-points,apart from conventional rehabilitation training 30 cases in each group.The cognitive function,developmental status,and parental quality of life before and after the treatment were compared between the two groups,and so were the language function and safety.Results There were no significant differences in the scores by Autism Behavior Checklist(ABC)and Childhood Autism Rating Scale(CARS),adaptability scores,language scores,and individual-social interaction scores between the conventional group and the combination group before the treatment(P>0.05).After the treatment,the scores by ABC and CARS were significantly decreased in both groups,and the scores of the combination group were significantly lower than those in the conventional group(P<0.05);The adaptability scores,language,individual-social interaction scores were significantly increased in both groups,and the scores of the combined group were significantly higher than those of the conventional group(P<0.05).The abnormal rates of symbolic expression,language comprehension,action-oriented subjects,and language development delay in the combined group were all significantly lower than those in the conventional group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the scores by the QL-Index between the conventional group and the combined group before the treatment(P>0.05),but after the treatment,the QL-Index scores of the conventional group and the combination group were increased,and the score of the combination group was significantly higher than that of the conventional group(P<0.05).The results of blood routine,urine routine,stool routine,liver function,and kidney function in both groups were not significantly abnormal.There was one case of mild swelling and pain at the acupunctured site in the combination group,which was improved without intervention.Conclusion Head acupuncturing therapy combined with massaging the key head acupoints can improve language function,cognitive function,and development of autis-tic children.In addition,it can enhance parental quality of life and have a high level of safety.

Objective:To explore the eye movement characteristics of gaze following in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) guided by three cues: non-sociality (arrow), high level sociality (eye) and low level sociality (head turning).Methods:Total of 23 ASD children with a developmental age of 2-3 years old and 23 typical development (TD) children with a physiological age of 2-3 years old were included from April to October 2022. The children were guided to follow gaze with three types of cues, namely arrow, eye and head turning, and the eye tracking features were collected with the Tobbi Pro X3-120 eye tracker. SPSS 17.0 was used to analyze the data. A generalized linear model was used to analyze the differences of different score (DS), time to first fixation( TFF), first fixation duration(FFD) and total fixation duration (TFD) between the two groups.Results:(1) The interaction of DS between the groups and cue types was significant (χ 2=11.22, P<0.01), the main effect of groups was significant (χ 2=3.95, P<0.05), and the main effect of cue types was significant (χ 2=31.43, P<0.001). Further simple effect analysis showed that under eye contact conditions, the DS of the ASD group was lower than that of the TD group ( P<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups under arrow conditions and head turning conditions (both P>0.05). The DS of the ASD group under eye contact conditions was lower than those under arrow and head turning conditions (both P<0.05), and the DS under arrow conditions was lower than that under head turning conditions ( P<0.001). (2)The interaction of TFF between the groups and the cue type was not significant (χ 2=5.53, P>0.05), and the main effect of groups was not significant (χ 2=3.04, P>0.05). The main effect of cue type was not significant (χ 2=3.19, P>0.05). (3)The interaction of FFD between the groups and cue types was not significant (χ 2=0.29, P>0.05), and the main effect of groups was not significant (χ 2=0.66, P>0.05). The main effect of cue types was not significant (χ 2=3.93, P>0.05). (4)The interaction of TFD between the groups and cue types was not significant (χ 2=2.33, P>0.05). The main effect of groups was significant (χ 2=18.35, P<0.001), and the TFD of the ASD group (1.30 (0.91, 1.58)s) was lower than that of the TD group (1.59(1.31, 1.72)s). The main effect of cue types was significant (χ 2=32.22, P<0.001), and the TFD under arrow condition (1.18 (0.85, 1.40)s) was lower than that under eye contact condition (1.61 (1.29, 1.73)s) and head turning condition (1.62 (1.18, 1.74)s) ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in TFD under eye contact and head turning conditions (both P>0.05). Conclusion:Under the guidance of non-social and low-level social stimuli, children with ASD exhibit gaze following abilities comparable to TD children when communication development is age matched. Under the guidance of high-level social stimuli, children with ASD have poorer gaze following ability, manifested as lower accuracy in responding to cues. The level of social information in cues is an important factor affecting the gaze following ability of children with ASD.

Objective:To analyze the etiological features and clinical characteristics of herpes zoster cases under 20 years old in Beijing City from 2017 to 2021.Methods:Herpes zoster cases were collected from a surveillance system in Beijing City from December 2017 to April 2021. The cases included individuals under 20 years old from seven sentinel hospitals located in two districts (Miyun District and Changping District). The basic information, the rash date of rash onset and the location and number of lesions were investigated at the first visit to the hospital, and the lesion swab samples were collected for laboratory testing. A telephone follow-up was conducted 21 days after the onset of the rash to investigate the degree of pain, duration of the rash and duration of pain. The individuals who still experienced neuralgia were further investigated for their pain condition at 90 days after the onset of the rash, to discover cases with postherpetic neuralgia. DNA was extracted from the rash fluid, and the ORF62 gene region was amplified and sequenced to obtain the viral sequence. The wild-type strain or chickenpox vaccine strain was identified by using sequence alignment, and the clinical characteristics of cases with different varicella vaccinations were compared.Results:A total of 78 herpes zoster cases under 20 years old were investigated during 2017-2021 in Beijing City, and 61 cases completed the follow-up survey. The age range of 61 cases was 1.83 to 20.54 years with a median age of 17.50 years. There were 36 males (59.02%) and 25 females (40.98%). Among them, there were 29 cases with the chickenpox vaccine immunization history (18 cases with one dose, 5 cases with two doses and 6 cases with unknown doses), 13 cases with no vaccination history and 19 cases with unknown vaccination history. Among the 78 cases, the herpetic fluid samples of 64 cases were positive for VZV, including 62 cases identified as wild-type strains and two cases as vaccine strains. The two vaccine strain cases were both 2-year-old girls who had received one dose of varicella vaccine and developed herpes zoster 3 months and 13 months after vaccination. Among the 29 cases with chickenpox vaccine immunization history, the majority had 10 to 49 lesions, accounting for 58.62% (17 cases). The trunk was the most common site of lesions, accounting for 44.83% (13 cases). About 51.72% (15 cases) reported "no or mild" pain intensity. The median ( Q1, Q3) scores for the worst pain, duration of pain and the time to crusting of lesions in the herpes zoster cases were 3 (1.5, 5) points, 10 (1.5, 12.5) days and 10 (6.5, 13) days, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in the constituent ratio of the location of lesions, number of lesions and pain degree among the cases with vaccination history, without vaccination history and with unknown vaccination history ( P>0.05). There was also no statistically significant difference in the distribution of pain score, duration of lesions and duration of pain across the three groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Wild strains are the predominant pathogens in herpes zoster cases under 20 years old in Beijing City during 2017-2021. The varicella vaccination has no significant impact on the clinical manifestations of herpes zoster cases.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of community-based rehabilitation exercise and physical activity on the physical activity levels, functional states, and quality of life for people with mild and moderate disabilities in community settings, to ascertain the health benefits of their engagement in such fitness sports activities, anchoring in the WHO "Global Action Plan on Physical Activity 2018-2030: More Active People for a Healthier World" and the guidelines tailored for people with disabilities, using the theoretical framework and methodology of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). MethodsAligning with the WHO guidelines for people with disabilities and the ICF, a community-based rehabilitation exercise and physical activity program was designed for individuals with mild to moderate disabilities, featuring activities like fitness training (aerobic and resistance exercises), skill exercises (such as balance and coordination), as well as sports and recreational games (ball and games, etc.). A total of 230 people with mild and moderate disabilities were recruited from 20 communities in Shenzhen, with types of disabilities including physical, speech, intellectual, and mental. Professional rehabilitation fitness instructors implemented and supervised the program. The activities were of low to moderate intensity, 30 to 50 minutes per session, five times a month for six months. The community-based rehabilitation exercise and physical activity progress of these individuals was surveyed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), and their overall functioning was evaluated with WHODAS 2.0. The health-related quality of life was measured with WHOQOL-BREF. The health benefits from participation in community-based rehabilitation exercise and physical activity were assessed in terms of functioning, activity involvement, and quality of life. ResultsAfter the fitness activities, participation levels significantly increased in IPAQ domains of work-related, transport-related, domestic and gardening activity, and leisure time (|t| > 3.391, P < 0.001). The scores significantly decreased in the domains of cognition, activity, self-care, getting along, life activities and participation; and overall scores also decreased in WHODAS 2.0 (t > 6.639, P < 0.001). The scores significantly increased in the four dimensions of WHOQOL-BREF (|t| > 7.486, P < 0.001). ConclusionAfter participating in a six-month community-based rehabilitation exercise and physical activity program of mild to moderate intensity, individuals with mild to moderate disabilities have improved in physical activity and engagement levels, and the overall functioning and quality of life.
