Jiuwei Xifeng Granules have become a Chinese patent medicine in the market. Because the formula contains Os Draconis, a top-level protected fossil of ancient organisms, the formula was to be improved by replacing Os Draconis with Ostreae Concha. To evaluate whether the improved formula has the same effectiveness and safety as the original formula, a randomized, double-blind, parallel-controlled, equivalence clinical trial was conducted. This study enrolled 288 tic disorder(TD) of children and assigned them into two groups in 1∶1. The treatment group and control group took the modified formula and original formula, respectively. The treatment lasted for 6 weeks, and follow-up visits were conducted at weeks 2, 4, and 6. The primary efficacy endpoint was the difference in Yale global tic severity scale(YGTSS)-total tic severity(TTS) score from baseline after 6 weeks of treatment. The results showed that after 6 weeks of treatment, the declines in YGTSS-TSS score showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups. The difference in YGTSS-TSS score(treatment group-control group) and the 95%CI of the full analysis set(FAS) were-0.17[-1.42, 1.08] and those of per-protocol set(PPS) were 0.29[-0.97, 1.56], which were within the equivalence boundary [-3, 3]. The equivalence test was therefore concluded. The two groups showed no significant differences in the secondary efficacy endpoints of effective rate for TD, total score and factor scores of YGTSS, clinical global impressions-severity(CGI-S) score, traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) response rate, or symptom disappearance rate, and thus a complete evidence chain with the primary outcome was formed. A total of 6 adverse reactions were reported, including 4(2.82%) cases in the treatment group and 2(1.41%) cases in the control group, which showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups. No serious suspected unexpected adverse reactions were reported, and no laboratory test results indicated serious clinically significant abnormalities. The results support the replacement of Os Draconis by Ostreae Concha in the original formula, and the efficacy and safety of the modified formula are consistent with those of the original formula.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis of adult AML patients with NUP98::HOXA9 fusion gene. METHODS: From May 2017 to October 2023， among 2 113 AML patients who visited the Hematology Department of our hospital, patients with NUP98 rearrangements were screened. The clinical characteristics, chromosome karyotypes, immunophenotypes, gene mutations, treatment efficacy and prognosis of the patients with NUP98::HOXA9 positive were analyzed. RESULTS: Among the 2 113 AML patients, there were 18 cases with NUP98 rearrangement, including 14 NUP98::HOXA9 positive cases, with a detection rate of 0.66% (14/2 113). The median age of the NUP98::HOXA9 positive patients was 42.5 (23-64) years old. The most common chromosome karyotype was t(7; 11)(p15; p15). The immunophenotypes of all patients expressed CD13, CD33, CD117 and CD38, and most patients expressed CD34 and cMPO, while only a few expressed HLA-DR. Second-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed to detect genetic mutations associated with leukemia in all 14 patients, and the genes exhibiting a high frequency of mutation were WT1 (10/14), TET2 (7/14), and FLT3-ITD (6/14). Additionally, mutations were also observed in KRAS/NRAS, IDH1, and KIT. Of the 13 patients who received treatment, 9 achieved complete remission (CR), and all 3 patients who received azacytidine(AZA)+ venetoclax (VEN) regimen achieved CR after the first course of treatment. Within this cohort, 6 patients were classified as relapsed/refractory (6/13). 4 patients underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), of which two achieved long-term survival. The median follow-up time was 12 (2.1-65.0) months, while the median overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) were recorded as 11.4 months and 9.6 months, respectively. CONCLUSION The most common type of NUP98 rearrangement in adults AML patients is NUP98::HOXA9 , which is often accompanied by somatic mutations in WT1, TET2, and FLT3-ITD. These patients are prone to relapse, have short survival time, and generally face poor prognoses. Hopefully, utilization of the AZA+VEN regimen is anticipated to enhance the rate of induced remission in the patients, and some patients may prolong their survival through allo-HSCT. However, more effective treatment methods are still needed to improve the overall prognosis of these patients.

Objective To develop a pulmonary rehabilitation training system based on scenario simulation for children with bronchiolitis obliterans,and to explore its application effect.Methods A pulmonary rehabilitation training program for children with bronchiolitis obliterans was constructed,and on the basis of this program,a pul-monary rehabilitation training system based on scenario simulation was developed for children with bronchiolitis obliterans,with real-time monitoring of relevant data.44 children with bronchiolitis obliterans who were hospitalized in the Department of Respiratory Medicine of a tertiary A children's specialized hospital in Hunan Province from January to December 2022 were selected by convenience sampling method,and the subjects were divided into an experimental group and a control group with 22 cases in each group.The experimental group adopted a pulmonary rehabilitation training program based on scenario simulation,and the control group implemented pulmonary rehabili-tation through nurse demonstration and guidance.At pre-intervention,4 weeks,and 12 weeks of intervention,the 2 groups were compared in terms of clinical symptom severity,pulmonary function,adherence to pulmonary rehabilita-tion,and the occurrence of pulmonary rehabilitation-related adverse events.Results There were no shedding cases in the experimental group and a case in the control group,and 22 cases were finally included in the experimental group and 21 cases in the control group.The results of repeated measures ANOVA showed that the comparison of clinical symptom severity and pulmonary function between the 2 groups at different time points was statistically sig-nificant in terms of time,between groups and interaction(P＜0.05).Simple effect analysis showed that after 4 and 12 weeks of intervention,the severity of clinical symptoms in the experimental group was lighter than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.001).At 12 weeks of intervention,pulmonary func-tion indexes,such as exertional expiratory volume in the first second,exertional lung volume,and maximum expiratory flow rate,were higher in the experimental group than those in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.001).At 4 and 12 weeks of intervention,the compliance of pulmonary rehabilitation in the experi-mental group was higher than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).At 12 weeks of intervention,the occurrence of adverse events related to pulmonary rehabilitation in the experimental group was less than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P=0.026).Conclusion The use of a scenario simulation-based pulmonary rehabilitation training system for children with bronchiolitis obliterans can effectively alleviate the clinical symptoms of children,improve their pulmonary function,increase compliance,and reduce the occurrence of pulmonary rehabilitation-related adverse events.

Objective:To understand the epidemiological characteristics of human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) among acute respiratory infection (ARI) cases in 16 provinces of China from 2009 to 2023.Methods:The data of this study were collected from the ARI surveillance data from 16 provinces in China from 2009 to 2023, with a total of 28 278 ARI cases included in the study. The clinical specimens from ARI cases were screened for HRSV nucleic acid from 2009 to 2023, and differences in virus detection rates among cases of different age groups, regions, and months were analyzed.Results:A total of 28 278 ARI cases were enrolled from January 2009 to September 2023. The age of the cases ranged from<1 month to 112 years, and the age M ( Q1, Q3) was 3 years (1 year, 9 years). Among them, 3 062 cases were positive for HRSV nucleic acid, with a total detection rate of 10.83%. From 2009 to 2019, the detection rate of HRSV was 9.33%, and the virus was mainly prevalent in winter and spring. During the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the detection rate of HRSV fluctuated between 6.32% and 18.67%. There was no traditional winter epidemic peak of HRSV from the end of 2022 to the beginning of 2023, and an anti-seasonal epidemic of HRSV occurred from April to May 2023. About 87.95% (2 693/3 062) of positive cases were children under 5 years old, and the difference in the detection rate of HRSV among different age groups was statistically significant ( P<0.001), showing a decreasing trend of HRSV detection rate with the increase of age ( P<0.001). Among them, the HRSV detection rate (25.69%) was highest in children under 6 months. Compared with 2009-2019, the ranking of HRSV detection rates in different age groups changed from high to low between 2020 and 2023, with the age M (Q1, Q3) of HRSV positive cases increasing from 1 year (6 months, 3 years) to 2 years (11 months, 3 years). Conclusion:Through 15 years of continuous HRSV surveillance analysis, children under 5 years old, especially infants under 6 months old, are the main high-risk population for HRSV infection. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the prevalence and patterns of HRSV in China have changed.

GNPS-based mass spectrum-molecular networks is an effective strategy for rapidly identifying known natural products and discovering novel structures. The chemical diversity of azaphilones from the fermentation extracts of Talaromyces sp. HK1-18 was studied by molecular network technique. Three linear tricyclic azaphilones, sequoiamonacins A-C (2a, 2b, 1), were isolated by silica gel column chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography from the extracts of the fungal strain of HK1-18, and their structures were identified by nuclear magnetic resonance and high-resolution mass spectrometry. Guided by the mass spectra of sequoiamonacins A-C (2a, 2b, 1), the cluster of sequoiamonacinoid analogues was discovered from the full molecular networking of HK1-18. By analyzing the MS/MS fragments of each parent ion in this cluster, 7 azaphilones (3-9) included 6 new ones (4-9) were predicted successfully. Then the MS/MS cracking regularity of this type of azaphilones was revealed. Compound 1 showed anti-inflammatory activity, which can inhibit the production of interleukin-1α (IL-1α) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mouse macrophage RAW264.7, with an inhibitory rate of 29% at the concentration of 12.5 μg·mL^-1.

Abstract Allergic diseases can occur in all systems of the body, covering the whole life cycle, from children to adults and to old age, can be lifelong onset and even fatal in severe cases. Children account for the largest proportion of the victims of allergic disease, Children s allergies start from scratch, ranging from mild to severe, from less to more, from single to multiple systems and systemic performance, so the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases in children is of great importance, which can not only prevent high risk allergic conditions from developing into allergic diseases, but also further block the process of allergy. At present, there is no consensus on the management system of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools. The "Consensus on Allergy Management and Prevention in Kindergartens and Primary Schools", which includes the organizational structure, system construction and management of allergic children, provides evidence informed recommendations for the long term comprehensive management of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools, and provides a basis for the establishment of the prevention system for allergic children.

Blood screening is essential for blood safety. Traditional methods are not very effective in unknown pathogen testing. The blood metagenomic analysis with high-throughput sequencing as the main method is not limited to a particular microbe but detects all microbes in the sample (total genome), which has advantages that traditional methods cannot compare with. With the increasingly maturation of technology and the gradual reduction of cost, metagenomic sequencing has been applied more and more widely. In this paper, the concept and research procedures of metagenomics, the current status and future prospect of metagenomics sequencing technology in the field of blood screening are reviewed.

Objective:To investigate the family management level of children with bronchiolitis obliterans and analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide reference for clinical medical staff to adopt targeted nursing and health education programs.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. From January 1, 2019, to April 30, 2022, 201 families of bronchiolitis obliterans children hospitalized in Hunan Children's Hospital were selected as the research objects, and the General Data Questionnaire, Family Management Scale, Coping Style Scale of Parents, and Chronic Disease-Related Health Literacy Scale was used to investigate. Single-factor analysis and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the influencing factors of bronchiolitis obliterans children's family management level.Results:The total score of bronchiolitis obliterans children's family management was (179.67 ± 9.92) points, the total score for parents' coping style was (177.14 ± 22.19) points, and the total score for health literacy was (102.95 ± 8.60) points. Multiple regression analysis showed that age, disease course, family residence, parents' education level, family monthly income, parents' coping style, and health literacy level were the influencing factors of family management level (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The family management ability of parents of children with bronchiolitis obliterans needs to be further improved. It is suggested that medical staff should formulate corresponding measures according to the age, course of the disease, family residence, parents' education level, etc., carry out targeted health education and home management training, improve the parents' health literacy level, and guide them to deal with diseases positively, to improve their family management level and promote the recovery of children's diseases.
