ObjectiveTo develop a community-family management model for older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and to formulate detailed application specifications, and to fully leverage the initiative of communities and families under limited resource conditions, for achieving community-based early detection and early intervention for older adults with MCI. MethodsA systematic literature review was conducted to identify pertinent publications. Corpus-based research methodologies were employed to extract, refine, integrate and synthesize management elements, thereby establishing the specific content and service processes for each stage of the management model. Utilizing the 5W2H analytical framework, essential elements such as management stakeholders, target populations, content and methods for each stage were delineated. The model and its application guidelines were finalized through expert consultation and demonstration. ResultsAn expert evaluation of the management model yielded mean scores of 4.84, 4.32 and 4.84 for acceptability, feasibility and systematicity, respectively. By integrating the identified core elements with expert ratings and feedback, the final iteration of the community-family management model for older adults with MCI was formulated. This model comprised of five stages: screening and identification, comprehensive assessment, intervention planning, monitoring and referral pathways to ensure implementation, and enhanced support for communities, family members and caregivers. Additionally, it included 18 specific application guidelines. ConclusionThe proposed management model may theoretically help delay cognitive decline, improve cognitive function and potentially promote reversal from MCI to normal cognition. It may also enhance the awareness and coping capacity of older adults and their families, strengthen community healthcare professionals' ability to early identify and manage MCI.

OBJECTIVE To explore the transformation of the dispensing and drug pickup process in traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy (TCM Pharmacy) in our hospital based on data-intelligence-driven, aiming to improve pharmacists’ work efficiency and patients’ drug pickup experience. METHODS Value stream mapping and journey mapping were used to systematically identify non-value-added links in pharmacists’ dispensing process and key pain points in patients’ drug pickup under the traditional process. An intelligent dispensing and drug pickup system for the TCM Pharmacy was developed based on the C# and Android television platforms, and a machine-learning model was adopted to predict patients’ drug pickup waiting time. A comprehensive evaluation was performed from three perspectives: system performance, prediction accuracy, and satisfaction of pharmacists and patients. RESULTS The system successfully streamlined non-value-added links such as “waiting for writing on the board” and “searching for drugs”, and realized multimodal dynamic prompts of dispensing status through auditory (number calling) and visual (television terminal) channels. The constructed model for predicting drug pickup waiting time exhibited good fitting degree and generalization ability (mean absolute error=4.28 min, R 2 =0.882). The comprehensive satisfaction scores of pharmacists and patients in the traditional mode were significantly increased from (70.99±1.74) and (73.58±1.98) to (90.02±1.30) and (88.61±2.08) in the new system, respectively ( P <0.01). CONCLUSIONS The transformation of the intelligent drug dispensing and pickup system for TCM pharmacy based on data-intelligence-driven effectively improves the efficiency of pharmacists’ dispensing work, realizes process transparency and waiting time predictability, and significantly enhances patients’ drug pickup experience.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of overweight and obesity among Chinese children aged 3-18 years from 11 provinces, antonomous regions, or municipalities.Methods:This national cross-sectional community health survey utilized a multistage stratified cluster-random sampling method to recruit 193 997 nationally representative participants from 11 provinces, autonomous regions, or municipalities between January 2017 and December 2019. All participants underwent physical examinations, and their caregivers completed questionnaires assessing participants′ dietary, lifestyle, familial, and perinatal information. Multilevel multinomial logistic regression models were employed to identify the potential risk factors.Results:The cohort comprised 193 997 children (102 178 boys, 91 819 girls),aged (10±4) years. Overall prevalence rates were 30 574(15.8%)overweight children and 17 217(8.9%) obesity children. Boys exhibited higher overweight and obesity rates than girls (17.0% (17 368/102 178) vs. 14.4% (13 206/102 178), 11.3% (11 553/91 819) vs. 6.2% (5 664/91 819), χ2=249.12,1 578.69,both P<0.001). The detection rates of obesity in Tanner stage 2 and 3 were the highest in boys and girls, with 13.4%(2 231/16 665) and 8.6%(880/10 221) respectively. Risk factors for obesity included parental overweight (paternal OR=2.34 and maternal OR=2.29), annual household income of 100 000-200 000 yuan (compared with<100 000 yuan, OR=1.04), higher paternal education (compared with below high school,high school and a college education OR=1.09,1.14), birth weight >4.0 kg (≤5 and>5 years old OR=1.74, 1.44,respectively), and western food consumption≥1 time/month (compared with<1, 1-2, 3-4,>4 times/month OR=1.36, 1.30, 1.67(≤5 years), 1.19, 1.16, 1.15 (>5 years), respectively) (all P<0.05). Conversely, coarse grain intake≥1 times/week (compared with<1 times/week, every day, 3-4, 1-2 times/week OR=0.74, 0.80, 0.71 (≤5 years), 0.75, 0.87, 0.90(>5 years), respectively, all P<0.05) was associated with reduced obesity risk. Conclusions:Obesity epidemiology in children demonstrates significant heterogeneity across age, gender, geographic regions, and pubertal stages. It is necessary to establish a personalized prevention and control strategy.

Objective:To analyze the clinical features of children with infection-related eosinophilic lung diseases (ELD) caused by common respiratory pathogens.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinical features, auxiliary examinations, treatments, and prognoses of 134 children with infection-related ELD caused by common respiratory pathogens at Yuying Children′s Hospital from January 2014 to June 2024 were collected. Participants were divided into the mild and severe groups based on whether the proportion of eosinophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) exceeded 0.25. Chi-square test or Fisher exact test was used to analyze the differences between the two groups, and Logistic regression was performed to examine the correlation between BALF eosinophilia and the clinical outcomes.Results:Among the 134 children, 73 were males and 61 were females, with an age of 6.9 (4.6, 8.8) years on admission. A total of 154 pathogen detections were recorded, including 116 cases (75.3%) of Mycoplasma pneumoniae, 8 cases (5.2%) of influenza A virus, 6 cases (3.9%) of Streptococcus pneumoniae, and 6 cases (3.9%) of Chlamydia pneumoniae, among others. The percentage of eosinophils in the BALF of all children was 0.10 (0.07, 0.15). There were 117 cases in the mild group and 17 cases in the severe group. Compared with the mild group, significantly greater proportion of children in the severe group presented dyspnea (10/17 vs. 17.1% (20/117)), wheezing (7/17 vs. 8.5% (10/117)), respiratory failure (8/17 vs. 7.7% (9/117)), single lobe ≥2/3 consolidation (7/17 vs. 12.8% (15/117)), atelectasis (7/17 vs. 12.0% (14/117)), pleural effusion (7/17 vs. 16.2% (19/117)), plastic bronchiolitis (4/17 vs. 4.3% (5/117)), and systemic corticosteroid prescription (14/17 vs. 51.3% (60/117)) (all P<0.05). Univariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that severe eosinophilia in BALF was significantly associated with an elevated risk of respiratory failure ( OR=10.67, 95% CI 3.31-34.38, P<0.001), single lobe ≥2/3 consolidation ( OR=4.76, 95% CI 1.57-14.41, P=0.006), atelectasis ( OR=5.15, 95% CI 1.69-15.72, P=0.004), pleural effusion ( OR=3.61, 95% CI 1.22-10.67, P=0.020), and plastic bronchitis ( OR=6.89, 95% CI 1.64-28.94, P=0.008). Among the 126 children who were followed up, 106 cases (84.1%) were cured, 20 cases (15.9%) improved, and no relapses or deaths occurred. Conclusions:Mycoplasma pneumoniae and influenza A virus are common pathogens in children with infection-related ELD and the percentage of eosinophils in BALF is mildly increased, and the severe cases exhibit more severe clinical features and more significant pulmonary abnormalities, such as lobar consolidation and lung atelectasis. The prognosis is generally favorable.

Objective:To explore the differences in early clinical features between Kawasaki disease shock syndrome (KDSS) and septic shock (SS).Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted. Clinical data was collected from 64 children who were diagnosed with KDSS or SS and admitted to the Department of Critical Care Medicine of Capital Center for Children′s Health, Capital Medical University from January 2018 to February 2025. Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test, or Fisher′s exact test were used to compare the differences in clinical features, treatment, and outcomes between children with KDSS and SS. Lasso regression was applied to screen predictive variables, and multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with KDSS. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of parameters for KDSS. Results:Among the 64 children (30 males and 34 females), the age was 3.6 (1.2, 6.5) years. There were 51 cases in the SS group and 13 cases in the KDSS group. Compared to children with SS, children with KDSS had a longer pre-shock fever duration, lower lactate levels and serum albumin levels, and higher soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) levels (all P<0.05). Additionally, they exhibited a higher incidence of coronary involvement, pericardial effusion, and ascites, a higher utilization rate of intravenous immunoglobulin, and a lower utilization rate of invasive mechanical ventilation (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in in-hospital mortality between KDSS and SS ( P=0.574). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified pre-shock fever duration and sIL-2R as independent factors associated with KDSS ( OR=1.52 and 1.54 per 1 000 U increase, 95% CI 1.12-2.05 and 1.06-2.24, respectively; both P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under the curve for pre-shock fever duration and sIL-2R in identifying KDSS were 0.83 (95% CI 0.73-0.94, P=0.001) and 0.70 (95% CI 0.53-0.87, P=0.042), respectively. The optimal cutoff values were 3.5 d and 3.8×10 6 U/L, with sensitivities of 0.91 and 0.82, and specificities of 0.71 and 0.62, respectively. Conclusions:Children with KDSS have higher incidences of coronary involvement, pericardial effusion, and ascites compared to those with SS. Pre-shock fever duration and sIL-2R may serve as potential early indicators for distinguishing KDSS from SS.

Objective:To investigate the changes of the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of human metapneumovirus (hMPV) among children with acute lower respiratory tract infection (ALRTI) before and after the discontinuation of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPI) during coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic.Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study. Children hospitalized at The Second Affiliated Hospital and Yuying Children′s Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University between January 2021 and December 2023, who were diagnosed with ALRTI by nasopharyngeal secretion testing for respiratory pathogens nucleic acid were enrolled. Clinical and laboratory data were collected. Children admitted between January 1, 2021 and January 7, 2023 were classified as the pre-NPI withdrawal group (abbreviated as pre-withdrawal group), while those admitted from January 8, 2023 afterward were classified as the post-NPI withdrawal group (abbreviated as post-withdrawal group). Nasopharyngeal secretions from the enrolled children were tested for 13 respiratory pathogens using polymerase chain reaction-capillary electrophoresis fragment analysis, and bacterial cultures were also performed. Statistical analyses were performed using the Mann-Whitney U test or chi-square test. Results:A total of 30 855 ALRTI cases were enrolled, with 1 679 of hMPV-positive. In the pre-withdrawal group, there were 861 cases with an age of onset of 2.0(1.0, 3.0) years, and the highest proportion was in the 1 to <3 years age group, accounting for 35.3%(304/861). In the post-withdrawal group, there were 818 cases with an age of onset of 3.0(2.0, 4.0) years, and the highest proportion was in the 3 to <5 years age group, accounting for 39.2%(321/818).The age of onset in the post-withdrawal group was significantly older than that in the pre-withdrawal group ( Z=7.69, P<0.001) .The hMPV detection rate was higher in the pre-withdrawal group than that in post-withdrawal group (5.75%(861/14 984) vs 5.15%(818/15 871); χ2=5.25, P=0.022). In the pre-withdrawal group, the epidemic peaks occurred in winter and spring, with the highest rates in January 2022(25.2%(224/890)) and March 2022 (21.6%(186/860)). In the post-withdrawal group, the epidemic peak shifted to spring and summer, and the detection rate became increased since April 2023(10.8%(136/1 258)). The post-withdrawal group showed lower rates of wheezing, shortness of breath, cyanosis, respiratory support, severe pneumonia, intensive care unit admission, and shorter hospital stays compared to the pre-withdrawal group ( χ2=69.09, 31.63, 12.97, 57.96, 55.73, 5.48 and Z=7.11, respectively, all P< 0.05).In the pre-withdrawal group, 412 cases (47.9%(412/861)) had other pathogens detected, compared to 445 cases (54.4%(445/181)) in the post-withdrawal group, indicating a significantly higher rate of co-infections in the post-withdrawal group ( χ2=7.20, P<0.05). The most commonly detected pathogens in both groups were Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP), rhinovirus, and Streptococcus pneumoniae. However, the post-withdrawal group showed significantly higher detection rates of MP and influenza virus, but lower bacterial detection rates compared to the pre-withdrawal group ( χ2=39.41, 9.70, 5.63, respectively, all P<0.05). The detection rate of Haemophilus influenzae was 2.1%(17/818) in the post-withdrawal group which lower than that (6.7%(58/861)) in the pre-withdrawal group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=21.32, P<0.001). Conclusions:In 2023, following the withdrawal of NPI, the epidemic peak of hMPV in Wenzhou area is delayed to spring and summer. The age of children with hMPV-associated ALRTI increases, with the majority being 3 to <5 years old. The overall severity of the disease decreases. However, the detection of mixed pathogens increases, with MP being the most common, while bacterial detection decreases.

Objective:To investigate the changes in thyroid hormone levels and inflammatory markers in critically ill children,analyze their correlation with disease severity,and explore their potential impact on prognosis,providing references for clinical management and prognosis assessment in critical illness.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 394 pediatric patients admitted to the ICU of the Capital Pediatric Institute Affiliated Children's Hospital from 2019 to 2023.Based on the pediatric critical illness score,patients were divided into three groups:the extremely critical group (score ≤ 70, n=81),the critical group (score 71–80, n=150),and the non-critical group (score>80, n=163).Data collected included thyroid function indicators,inflammatory markers[C-reactive protein(CRP),procalcitonin(PCT),tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α,interleukin (IL),etc.],clinical information,and outcomes.The correlation between thyroid function indicators and inflammatory markers were analyzed.The predictive value of thyroid function indicators and inflammatory markers for prognosis in critically ill pediatric patients was assessed. Results:Of the 394 children,non-thyroidal disease syndrome occurred in 321 cases,with an overall incidence of 81.5%,which increased with disease severity.Thyroid hormone [total triiodothyronine (TT3),free triiodothyronine (FT3),and total tetraiodothyronine (TT4)] levels were significantly lower in the extremely critical group than in the other groups ( P<0.05).Inflammatory markers such as CRP,PCT,TNF-α,IL-6,IL-8,and IL-10 were significantly higher in the extremely critical group than in the other groups ( P<0.05).Thyroid hormones were negatively correlated with inflammatory markers,and the receivor operating characteristic curves analysis indicated that TT3,FT3,IL-6 and IL-8 levels,could effectively differentiate disease prognosis.Univariate regression model showed significant associations between TT3,FT3,TT4,PCT,IL-8,and IL-10 and disease prognosis.The multivariate Logistic regression model showed IL-6 and IL-8 were independent predictors of disease prognosis. Conclusion:Significant reductions in thyroid hormone levels are closely related to disease severity and poor prognosis.Changes in inflammatory markers reflect the inflammatory state and severity of the disease and impact prognosis.Monitoring thyroid function and inflammatory status is important in clinical management,which provids new insights into prognosis assessment and treatment strategies for critically ill children.
