ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of different visual inputs and task conditions on balance function and lower limb biomechanical characteristics in children with spastic hemiplegia. MethodsFrom March to July, 2025, 30 children aged six to nine years old with spastic hemiplegia (hemiplegia group) and 30 healthy children (control group) were selected. A 2×2×2 mixed experimental design was employed, involving groups (hemiplegia vs. healthy), tasks (single-task vs. dual-task), and vision (eyes open vs. eyes closed). One week before test, they were evaluated with Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Lower Extremities (FMA-LE), Wee Function Independent Measurement (WeeFIM) and Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Fourth Edition (WISC-Ⅳ). A 3D gait analysis system and a plantar pressure testing system were used to collect spatio-temporal parameters of walking speed, stride length, cadence and step width, kinematic parameters of hip/knee/ankle joint angles, kinetic parameters of forefoot loading ratio, center of pressure (CoP) displacement, while dual-task cost (DTC) was caculated. ResultsSpatio-temporal parameters showed that under dual-task and eyes-closed conditions, walking speed and stride length decreased while step width increased in the hemiplegia group. Significant interaction effects among group, task, and vision were observed for speed, stride length, and step width (F > 4.886, P < 0.05). Kinematic parameters indicated that during dual-tasks, the hemiplegia group exhibited increased hip flexion and decreased ankle dorsiflexion; under eyes-closed conditions, knee flexion increased. The interaction of the three factors significantly affected all joint angles (F > 4.876, P < 0.05). Kinetic parameters showed that under dual-task and eyes-closed conditions, the forefoot loading ratio and anteroposterior CoP displacement decreased, while mediolateral CoP displacement increased. The interaction of the three factors significantly affected CoP displacement (F > 4.355, P < 0.05). All the DTC was significantly higher in the hemiplegia group than in the control group, except DTC of the cadence (|t| > 14.393, P < 0.001). Correlation analysis revealed that the score of FMA-LE was strongly negatively correlated with DTC (|r| > 0.731, P < 0.01). The Functional Independence Measure for Children and Working Memory Index showed moderate negative correlations with the DTC of walking speed and cadence (|r| > 0.462, P < 0.05). ConclusionThe gait and balance of children with spastic hemiplegia are concurrently influenced by dual-tasking and visual input. The superposition of visual deprivation and dual-tasks significantly exacerbates gait abnormalities. Furthermore, is strongly correlated with motor function and working memory.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) combined with upper limb intelligent robotic training on muscle tension, motor function and cortical excitability in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (USCP). MethodsFrom March, 2023 to December, 2024, 90 children with USCP admitted to Children's Hospital of Soochow University were selected and randomly divided into control group (n = 30), rPMS group (n = 30) and combined group (n = 30). The control group received conventional occupational therapy. The rPMS group received rPMS intervention followed by conventional occupational therapy. The combined group received rPMS followed by upper limb intelligent robot training, for four weeks. Before and after treatment, muscle tension of biceps brachii was assessed using the modified Ashworth Scale (MAS); upper limb motor function was evaluated using the Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) and upper limb intelligent parameters; and cortical excitability was measured using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), including resting motor threshold (RMT) and motor-evoked potential (MEP) amplitude of the affected hemisphere. ResultsAfter treatment, MAS grades improved in all groups (|Z| > 3.523, P < 0.001), and the improvement in the combined group was superior to that in the control group (P < 0.05). Significant intra-group (F > 65.21, P < 0.001), inter-group (F > 17.94, P < 0.001) and interaction effects (F > 5.36, P < 0.01) were observed in FMA-UE scores, upper limb intelligent parameters and TMS parameters. Post Hoc analysis showed that the combined group demonstrated significantly greater improvements in FMA-UE scores, upper limb intelligent parameters, and TMS parameters compared with both the control and rPMS groups (all P < 0.01). Except for FMA-UE scores, the rPMS group showed significantly greater improvements than the control group in upper limb intelligent parameters (mechanical feedback, trajectory, and range of motion) and TMS parameters (RMT and MEP amplitude) (P < 0.05). ConclusionrPMS combined with upper limb intelligent robotic training can reduce upper limb muscle tension, improve motor function, and enhance cortical excitability in children with USCP.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness of optimized flow sensitive black blood(FSBB)imaging in detecting the number of branches and measuring the depth of lenticulostriate arteries(LSAs)in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods The ima-ging and clinical data of 39 patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent vascular recanalization under digital subtraction angi-ography(DSA)were prospectively collected.All patients received 3.0T MR FSBB imaging within 48-96 hours postoperatively.The number and depth of LSAs branches on the affected side were observed,measured and recorded by the post-processing workstations for both FSBB and DSA images.The difference and correlation of the number and average depth of LSAs branches detected by FSBB and DSA were analyzed.The consistency of the average depth of LSAs branches detected by FSBB and DSA was evaluated.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the number and depth of bilateral LSAs branches detected by FSBB and DSA(P＞0.05).FSBB and DSA showed strong positive correlations in detecting the number and depth of LSAs branches(r=0.786,0.704;P＜0.05).The number of average depth difference of bilateral LSAs branches detected by FSBB and DSA exceeded the limit of agreement(LoA)was 3,accounting for 4.92％(＜5％).Conclusion Optimized FSBB imaging can be used to assess the detection of the number and depth measurement of LSAs branches in patients with acute ischemic stroke,showing good consistency with DSA.It provides valua-ble imaging evidence for the morphological assessment of LSAs in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the effects of organophosphate flame retardant tri(2-chloroethyl)phosphate(TCPP)on reproductive function in male mice by the approach of non-targeted metabolomics.Methods A total of twelve 6-week-old SPF male CD-1 mice were randomly divided into control group and TCPP group,with 6 mice in each group.TCPP group was given TCPP(at the dose of 100 mg/kg/d)intragastrically,and control group was intragastrically adminis-trated with the same amount of corn oil(solvent control).After 6 weeks,the mice were killed,and the sperm were isolated from the epididymis.The sperm concentration and viability were analyzed.Testicular tissue sections were stained with he-matoxylin,and ki67 expression was detected by immunohistochemistry.Non-targeted metabolomics was used to detect the difference of metabolites in testicular tissue between the two groups,and to analyze the difference of metabolites and related pathway changes between the two groups.Results Compared with control group,the total sperm motility of mice in TCPP treatment group was significantly decreased(P＜0.05).HE staining showed irregular arrangement of spermatogenic tubule supporting cell layer in TCPP treatment group.The expression level of ki67 in testicular tissue of mice treated with TCPP was significantly decreased(P＜0.05).Non-targeted metabolomics detected 266 up-regulated metabolites with statistical difference.And 554 down-regulated metabolites with statistical difference,among which the largest difference multiples were organic acids and amino acid metabolites.The pathways with the highest concentration of differential metabolites in-cluded purine metabolism,nucleotide metabolism,amino acid metabolism,cofactor synthesis,etc.,which were mainly re-lated to basic cell life activities,pathophysiology and chemical carcinogenesis.Conclusion TCPP can significantly re-duce sperm motility and ki67 expression in mice at the dosage of 100 mg/kg/d,which might be related to its influence on key metabolic pathways such as purine,amino acid and pyruvate.

Stiff person syndrome (SPS) is a rare neuro-immune disorder characterized by exaggerated startle responses and muscle spasms in response to minor stimuli. SPS is often misdiagnosed as panic disorder or agoraphobia. This paper reported a case of a patient with SPS presenting symptoms similar to panic attack. The patient had been misdiagnosed as dystonia, anxiety disorder and panic attack. The patient was finally correctly diagnosed through multiple disciplinary team discussions. This study integrates a comprehensive understanding of symptomatology and patient-reported experiences with targeted neurological evaluations and supplementary diagnostic tools to improve the accuracy of etiological diagnoses. This study aims to enhance the ability of psychiatrists to recognize somatic diseases presenting with psychiatric symptoms and to improve clinical diagnostic and treatment levels.

Objective To satisfy the normalized disinfection in the orthopedic ward,an air sterilizer based on low-temperature plasma has been developed to investigate its sterilization results in a dynamic environment of hospitalization where patients,companions and medical workers are involved.Methods This study took an orthopedics ward in the Secondary Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University,as the research object,where a home-made low-temperature plasma air sterilizer was utilized.A six-stage viable Andersen cascade impactor was used to sample the natural bacteria in the ward before and after machine operation for three hours.The species and quantity of bacteria in the ward were analyzed.Results The ozone concentration in the indoor dynamic environment decreased to below 5 ppbv.After three-hour disinfection,the elimination rate of natural bacteria reached 92.35％.The final colony forming unit decreased to～150 CFU/m3;the extinction rates of Staphylococcus hominis,Bacillus cereus,molds,and Micrococcus luteus were 90.48％,80.90％,87.50％,and 92.82％respectively.Even all Haemophilus massiliensis disappeared after two-hour treatment.Conclusion Intermittent disinfection of the dynamic environment in the ward using low-temperature plasma synergistic catalyst has enabled the indoor ozone concentration to reach the first-level national standard line,effectively suppressing secondary pollution caused by ozone leakage while efficiently killing suspended microorganisms in the air,which is close to the disinfection level Ⅰenvironment specified in Hygienic Standard for Disinfection in Hospitals(GB 15982-2012).The results also show that the plasma catalytic synergistic disinfection and sterilization has the technical advantages of efficient disinfection and human-machine coexistence,which can ensure indoor air quality safety,reduce the workload of nursing staff,and thus is an effective method to assist or even replace the existing physical and chemical means.
