Tracheal intubation in emergency and complex scenarios is difficult for critical care medicine residents.Virtual reality(VR)technology has not been used in the training of tracheal intubation in critical care scenarios in China.This project team has developed an emergency tracheal intubation training system for the intensive care unit(ICU)based on virtual simulation technology,and has obtained the computer software copyright registration certificate from the National Copyright Administration(registration number:2024SR1139484).This system uses a case script of acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS)secondary to severe acute pancreatitis,sets the roles of patients,family members,nurses and residents,collects digital resources of ICU rescue scenes,computer-aided design(CAD)drawings,instrument models and equipment photos,models instruments and equipment,and uses PICO 4 Pro VR helmets to display the ICU environment in the virtual scene.The key points of skill assessment include tracheal intubation operation,the ability to interpret laboratory results,the ability to judge diseases and the ability to work in teams.The user center contains 3 submodules,namely,the score center,skill analysis and user management.There are 3 user roles in the system,namely,residents,teachers and administrators.The system can track and record the entire operation process,including video recording and playback,and score and comprehensively evaluate each step,thereby realizing an objective and quantitative training and assessment system.By simulating the three-dimensional clinical operation environment of the ICU,the entire process of real tracheal intubation is fully reproduced.Resident doctors are placed in the ICU rescue scene,focusing on training tracheal intubation skills,the ability of doctor-patient communication,on-the-spot response,and teamwork,which is expected to become an important type of standardized teaching in critical care medicine.

Objective To explore the effectiveness of a tracheal intubation training system based on virtual reality(VR)technology in cultivating the clinical practice abilities of resident physicians.Methods Twenty-five first-year resident physicians who were enrolled in the residency programme at Peking University Third Hospital from August 2024 to February 2025 were recruited for this study.All participants completed a questionnaire after receiving VR-based intensive care unit(ICU)emergency tracheal intubation training,to share their experiences with the VR technology-based ICU emergency tracheal intubation training and the shortcomings encountered during the process.Results ① General information:a total of 25 resident physician questionnaires were distributed in this study and received 25 valid responses(response rate 100%).Among the 25 residents,there were 15 males(60%)and 10 females(40%),with an average age of(25.3±0.8)years.Clinical experience was categorised as≤1 year 4 residents(16%),>1-3 years 8 residents(32%),>3-<5 years 5 residents(20%)and≥5 years 8 residents(32%).Among them,3 residents(12%)had no prior tracheal intubation experience,while 11(44%)had performed>10 intubations.Prior to this training,3 residents(12%)had received other forms of virtual tracheal intubation training,whereas 22(88%)had not.During traditional tracheal intubation training,18 residents(72%)reported that they monitored heart rate and blood pressure,whereas 7(28%)did not.In real-world emergency tracheal intubation scenarios,21 residents(84%)experienced role confusion.Additionally,23 residents(92%)believed that opportunities for tracheal intubation practice were too limited,17(68%)thought traditional training provided more guidance from instructors,and 15(60%)valued practical operation opportunities more in tracheal intubation training.②VR-based ICU emergency tracheal intubation training experience:23 residents(92%)considered the VR-based ICU emergency tracheal intubation training effective,with 13(52%)believing it to be more effective than traditional training.Furthermore,23 residents(92%)felt that the VR-based training created a more relaxed learning atmosphere,heightened their interest in learning tracheal intubation,and had better future prospects;22 residents(88%)believed that VR technology facilitated a better understanding of the laryngeal structure;24 residents(96%)thought that VR-based training reduced practical operation risks and better simulated real-world conditions;16 residents(64%)were highly satisfied with the VR-based ICU emergency tracheal intubation operating system;24 residents(96%)considered the case scenarios in the VR-based training reasonable.17 residents(68%)believed that VR-based training offered more learning opportunities,and 19 residents(76%)thought it reduced anxiety during the intubation process.③ Disadvantages of VR-based ICU emergency tracheal intubation:9 residents(36%)tended to overlook obtaining family consent before emergency tracheal intubation prior to the training.Regarding interactivity,5 residents(20%)rated it as excellent,9(36%)as average,and 11 residents(44%)believe that the interactivity was poor;22 residents(88%)felt a lack of tactile feedback during practical operations;20 residents(80%)recommended adding more simulated scenarios;11 residents(44%)believed that,compared to traditional training,VR training lacked practical operation opportunities.Additionally,17 residents(68%)experienced discomfort such as dizziness during the operation.Conclusion VR-based intubation training effectively enhances technical proficiency and psychological preparedness in ICU clinicians,particularly in anatomical visualization and risk-controlled rehearsal.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease(CJD)is a rapidly progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by prions,with certain infectivity and iatrogenic transmission risks.With the rapid progress and application of new dia-gnostic biomarkers and detection methods,as well as the construction and improvement of surveillance and reporting systems,the detection of CJD in patients domestically and internationally has shown an increasing trend year by year.Due to its long incubation period and heterogeneity of early symptoms,early identification and diagnosis of the disease is difficult,increasing the risk of transmission within medical institutions.Currently,there is a lack of con-sensus on the infection prevention and control of CJD.In order to timely identify and diagnose CJD as well as effec-tively block its transmission in medical institutions,this consensus summarizes 15 clinical concerns and formulates 24 specific recommendations based on the latest domestic and international research findings and clinical evidence,as well as combines with clinical practice,aiming to standardize healthcare-associated infection prevention and control measures for CJD and reduce its transmission risk in medical institutions.

Objective To initially explore the possibility of applying the fluorescence micro-optical sectioning tomography(fMOST)high-resolution 3D reconstruction system to the morphological study of the intestinal nervous system and to preliminarily establish a method for studying the morphology of the intestinal nervous system using this system.Methods fMOST high-resolution 3D reconstruction system was used to study the intestinal nervous system of C57BL/6 mice in detail.Based on this method,a new morphological method of the visceral nervous system of small animal models was explored at the single-cell level.Results Compared with the large intestine,the small intestine lacked the typical myenteric plexus(Auerbach),deep mucosal plexus(Henley),and submucosal superficial plexus(Meissner).Conclusion The result of this paper provide a clearer and systematic display of the anatomical structure of the enteric nervous system in C57BL/6 mice,and further clarify the similarities and differences between the enteric nervous system of mice and human,and provide a theoretical basis for its rational application in the study of digestive system diseases.The morphological study of fMOST high-resolution 3D reconstruction system is not limited to the central nervous system,but can be extended to the morphological study of multiple visceral nervous systems.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of scoliosis among middle school students through school-based screening, and to analyze the correlations between axial trunk rotation (ATR) angle and Cobb angle among those with scoliosis considering gender, age, body mass index (BMI) and curve type, so as to provide references for early prevention and treatment.Methods:Random cluster sampling was used to enroll 9501 middle school students from 11 schools in the Hanyang District of Wuhan. They underwent a six-step scoliosis screening with a forward bending test, scoliometer measurements, and confirmatory X-ray examinations. The students exhibiting scoliosis were stratified by gender, age, BMI, and curve type. The correlation between ATR angle and Cobb angle was subsequently analyzed within each subgroup.Results:Scoliosis was observed in 358 of the students (150 boys and 208 girls), a positive screening rate of 3.8%. Moreover, the positive screening rate was significantly higher among the girls (4.8%) than among the boys (2.9%). There was a moderate Spearman correlation ( r=0.69) between the ATR and Cobb angles in 358 of the students with scoliosis, both the boys ( r=0.69) and the girls ( r=0.70). When it came to age, there was a positive correlation between the ATR and Cobb angles for students aged 13 to 16 irrespective of their BMI classification, except that there was no significant correlation between the two angles for those classified as obese. In terms of Peking Union Medical College (PUMC) classification, there was a positive correlation for those in types Ia, Ib, Ic, IIa, IIb, IIc and IId, but there was no significant correlation between the two angles for those in type III. Conclusions:Scoliosis is prevalent among the group of adolescents studied. Society, schools and parents need to prioritize prevention, heightened awareness, timely diagnosis and early treatment, particularly for girls. The ATR angle may serve as a practical surrogate for estimating Cobb angle severity in scoliosis screening for single-curve or double-curve cases. However, ATR measurements may yield false-negative results among those with triple-curve deformities or the obese, underscoring the need for supplementary diagnostic methods among such populations.

Objective:To analyze and summarize clinical phenotypic characteristics and genetic variations in patients with intellectual disability and pathogenic variations of the DYNC1H1 gene across 4 generations within a single family. Methods:Retrospective case analysis.Clinical data of a child with epilepsy and intellectual disability and her family members were collected from the Children′s Medical Center, Peking University First Hospital on December 2019.The child was followed up regularly.DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood of the child′s family members.Then whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing were performed to identify the genetic variation type in the proband and her family members.The relationship between genotype and phenotype was further analyzed.Results:A total of 13 patients across 4 generations in the family had intellectual disability, and the proband also had drug-resistant epilepsy.The variation c. 13556C> A (p.A4519E) of the DYNC1H1 gene was confirmed by gene testing in 8 patients (no blood samples were obtained from the remaining patients). Conclusions:DYNC1H1 gene-related intellectual disability in most previously reported cases are caused by novel variations of this gene.In this study, a large family of 13 intellectual disability patients across 4 generations caused by a pathogenic mutation in the DYNC1H1 gene was summarized.The findings make precise genetic counseling possible for this family and provide a basis for further studies on the relationship between the genotype and phenotype of the DYNC1H1 gene.

Objective:To summarize the clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of a family with hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy (HSAN) caused by the SPTLC1 gene variation and to review the literature. Methods:Case summary.The clinical manifestations, neuroelectrophysiology, genetic examination, treatment and follow-up of a family with autosomal dominant HSAN diagnosed at the Department of Neurology, Beijing Children′s Hospital in March 2024 were summarized.At the same time, related English and Chinese literatures were searched from CNKI, Wanfang and PubMed databases from their establishment to July 2024, with " serine palmitoyltransferase long-chain base subunits 1", " hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy", " SPTLC1" and " HSAN1" taken as key words.Results:The proband was a 11-year-and-2-month-old boy, who developed limited bending at the age of 7.The patient had ankle pain and knee bending during walking, and limited movement.He could neither jump on one foot nor bend down to pick up things from the ground, but there was no obvious sensory and autonomic nervous function abnormalities.His parents had no abnormal clinical manifestations.Neuroelectrophysiology showed peripheral nerve damage, and family whole exon sequencing revealed a maternal heterozygous missense variation of the SPTLC1 gene c.1015G>A, p.A339T(maternal origin, reported).Further maternal neuroelectrophysiology examination and sphingomyelin analysis confirmed the diagnosis of HSAN1A.The proband wore orthopedic insoles, and the proband and his mother took L-serine orally for 8 months.During the follow up, the proband reported slight improvement in muscle strength, and no adverse reactions were found.Two Chinese and thirteen English case reports on autosomal dominant HSAN caused by the SPTLC1 gene variation were retrieved.Twenty cases had complete clinical data.Therefore, a total of 22 cases, including the above-mentioned two patients, were analyzed.Except for patients whose age at diagnosis is unknown and who are deceased, the age at diagnosis ranged from 7 to 93 years.The 66.7%(14/21) cases were childhood-onset.The first clinical symptoms were mainly gait abnormalities, easy falls, sensory disorders and ulcers.Foot deformity, and autonomic neuropathy were detected in 53.3% (8/15), and 31.6% (6/19) cases, respectively, 15.8% (3/19) of the cases had amputation.Only 1 case was treated with L-serine, who showed partial relief of clinical symptoms, but electromyography was not significantly improved.Fifteen cases received neuroelectrophysiological testing, and 78.6%(11/14) of the patients showed sensory and motor neurogenic injuries.All the gene variations reported previously were missense mutations, and the high frequency variation was p. C133T/W. Conclusions:This study is helpful to improve the understanding of the clinical characteristics of HSAN1A caused by the SPTLC1 gene.Oral L-serine supplementation may benefit patients and gene detection promotes diagnosis confirmation and early treatment.

Allergic diseases,also known as hypersensitivity diseases,are a systemic disorder affecting nearly 40%of the global population.Although they vary in affected sites and clinical manifestations,they share many common features.For example,allergic diseases are the same type Ⅰ hypersensitivity reaction;the disease mechanism is based on the inability of the positive deficiency to resist the evil,and the allergens induce the onset of the disease;the course of the disease is similar to the patient's physique;the onset of the disease is closely related to the taiyin meridian of the hand and the foot;and the disease locations in traditional Chinese medicine can be categorized as the"orifices",so that the different diseases can be treated with the same treatment.Chinese medicine believes that spleen deficiency is the initiating factor of immune dysfunction,and lung deficiency is the key to the occurrence of allergic diseases,and regulating the lung and spleen is the key point of treatment for allergic diseases.The method of"cultivating the earth and generating gold"is good at adjusting the spleen and stomach and restoring the function of the lungs,which is the key to"same treatment for different diseases"of allergic diseases.Therefore,the purpose of this article is to explore the commonalities of allergic diseases and the role of the method of"cultivating the earth and generating gold"in the treatment of allergic diseases under the perspective of"same treatment for different diseases".
