Objective:To understand the incidence rate of herpes zoster (HZ) and postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) in Beijing, and analyze the incidence trend of HZ and PHN from 2015 to 2022.Methods:Cases of HZ and PHN from 2015 to 2022 were retrieved from the Hospital Information Systems (HIS) of all primary and above hospitals/clinics in three districts representing the urban, inner suburban, and outer suburban areas of Beijing. After duplication screening, the first visit cases were screened, and the incidence characteristics were described. The incidence rate of HZ and PHN in each year by sex and age group and the age-standardized incidence rate were calculated. The annual percentage increase (APC) of incidence rate was calculated using the Joint regression model, and the change trend was analyzed.Results:The age-standardized incidence rate of HZ in Beijing from 2015 to 2022 ranged from 7.44‰ to 10.05‰, with an average annual incidence rate of 8.95 ‰, significantly increasing with age ( P<0.001). The Joinpoint regression model showed that the overall age-standardized incidence of HZ remained relatively stable, with no significant difference (APC=2.28%, t=1.56, P=0.170). However, the incidence rate among the 0-19-year-old group exhibited a trend of decrease (APC=-10.70%, t=-6.29, P<0.001). For PHN, the age-standardized incidence in Beijing ranged from 0.77‰ to 2.67‰, with an average annual incidence rate of 1.59‰ and a proportion of 9.48% to 26.86% among HZ cases. Both the incidence of PHN and its proportion among HZ cases increased with age ( P<0.001). The age-standardized incidence of PHN increased annually (APC=18.56%, t=9.02, P<0.001). Conclusion:The incidence rate of HZ and PHN in Beijing continues to be at a high level, and PHN shows an increasing trend over time.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective To investigate the variation pattern of real-ear-to-coupler difference(RECD)in chil-dren,and to compare it with the standard values of Western children.Thus,to provide a basis for the establishment of the standard values of RECD in children in China.Methods A total of 120 children participated in this study,and were divided into 8 groups according to the test age.Binaural RECD tests were performed for each group at each frequency.The standard values established for Western children were compared,and their variation patterns were analyzed.Results The mean values of RECD in Chinese children were generally lower than the standard values of RECD in Western children.There were no significant differences in RECD values between 3～6 and 7～11 months of age,and between 18～23 and 24～35 months of age.RECD values decreased gradually with the age of children.There were no statistical differences in RECD values between the right and left ears of children.Conclusion Indi-vidual RECD values should be measured during hearing aid fitting.In addition,one ear value can be used for both ears for children who have difficulty in completing binaural testing.

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.

Objective To investigate the impact of O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine(O-GlcNAc)modification levels in the amygdala on stress resilience.Methods A restraint stress model was established in male C57BL/6J mice by confining them for 24 hours,followed by by 7days of rest.Behavioral assays,including the tail suspension test,forced swimming test and fear conditioning test,were conducted.Subsequently,the mice were euthanized,and the hippocampus,cortex,and amygdala were isolated.O-GlcNAc modification levels in these brain regions were assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Using stereotaxic brain injection techniques,the O-GlcNAcase(OGA)inhibitor,O-GlcNAc transferase(OGT)inhibitor,and OGA and OGT adeno-associated viruses were administered to regulate O-GlcNAc levels in the amygdala before their effects on stress-related behavior were observed.Results The restraint stress group showed significantly increased anxiety,depressive-like behavior,and impaired memory.Concomitantly,O-GlcNAc levels in the amygdala were significantly decreased post-stress and were negatively correlated with behavioral performance.Mice with higher stress resilience exhibited significantly higher levels of O-GlcNAc in the amygdala than more sensitive ones.Upregulation of O-GlcNAc levels in the amygdala via Thiamet-G or adeno-associated virus-O-GlcNAc transferaseinjections increased O-GlcNAc levels,alleviated depressive-like behavior and enhanced stress resilience.In contrast,downregulation of O-GlcNAc levels through OSMI-1 or adeno-associated virus-O-GlcNAcase injections reduced the O-GlcNAc levels,exacerbated depressive-like behavior and reduced resilience to stress.Conclusion O-GlcNAc modification levels in the amygdala play a critical role in regulating stress resilience following restraint stress in mice.

Objective:This study aimed to compare the audiological characteristics between children with unilateral auditory neuropathy (UAN) and single-sided deafness (SSD) to establish a valid basis for the differential diagnosis of children with UAN.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on audiological and imaging evaluations of children with UAN and SSD who were treated at Beijing Children′s Hospital of Capital Medical University between May 2015 and June 2023. There were 17 children with UAN, comprising 10 males and 7 females, with an average age of 4.7 years. Additionally, there were 43 children with SSD, consisting of 27 males and 16 females, with an average age of 6.5 years. Audiological assessments included Auditory brainstem response (ABR), Steady-state auditory evoked potential (ASSR), Behavioural audiometry, Cochlear microphonic potential (CM), Distortino-product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE), and acoustic immittance test. The results of the audiological assessment and imaging phenotypic between the two groups of children were compared and analyzed by applying SPSS 27.0 statistical software.Results:(1) The UAN group (77.8%) had a significantly higher rate of ABR wave III L than the SSD group (20.9%) ( P<0.01). The PA thresholds at 500 Hz and 1 000 Hz of children with SSD were higher than those of children with UAN, while the ASSR thresholds at 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, 2 000 Hz, and 4 000 Hz of children with SSD were significantly higher than those of children with UAN ( P<0.05). (2) The degree of hearing loss in both UAN and SSD children was predominantly complete hearing loss. The percentage of complete hearing loss was significantly higher (χ2=4.353, P=0.037) in the SSD group (93.0%, 40/43) than in the UAN group (63.6%, 7/11). However, the percentage of profound hearing loss was significantly higher in the UAN group (27.3%, 3/11) than in the SSD group (2.3%, 1/43) ( Fisher′s exact test, P=0.023). In terms of hearing curve configuration, the percentage of flat type was significantly higher in the SSD group (76.7%, 33/43) than in the UAN group (36.4%, 4/11). The proportion of the UAN group (27.3%, 3/11) was significantly higher than that in the SSD group (2.3%, 1/43) in ascending type ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the hearing curves of the declining type and other types between the two groups ( P>0.05). (3) The proportion of imaging assessment without abnormality was significantly more common in the UAN group (81.8%) than in the SSD group (37.1%) (χ2=6.695, P=0.015). Conclusions:Compared to children with SSD, the occurrence of wave III L on the ABR test was significantly more common in children with UAN. The percentage of ascending hearing curves was significantly higher in children with UAN than in children with SSD. ASSR thresholds were significantly lower in children with UAN. The normal imaging phenotype was significantly more common in children with UAN than in children with SSD.
