ObjectiveFunctional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), a novel non-invasive technique for monitoring cerebral activity, can be integrated with upper limb rehabilitation robots to facilitate the real-time assessment of neurological rehabilitation outcomes. The rehabilitation robot is designed with 3 training modes: passive, active, and resistance. Among these, the resistance mode has been demonstrated to yield superior rehabilitative outcomes for patients with a certain level of muscle strength. The control modes in the resistance mode can be categorized into dynamic and static control. However, the effects of different control modes in the resistance mode on the motor function of patients with upper limb hemiplegia in stroke remain unclear. Furthermore, the effects of force, an important parameter of different control modes, on the activation of brain regions have rarely been reported. This study investigates the effects of dynamic and static resistance modes under varying resistance levels on cerebral functional alterations during motor rehabilitation in post-stroke patients. MethodsA cohort of 20 stroke patients with upper limb dysfunction was enrolled in the study, completing preparatory adaptive training followed by 3 intensity-level tasks across 2 motor paradigms. The bilateral prefrontal cortices (PFC), bilateral primary motor cortices (M1), bilateral primary somatosensory cortices (S1), and bilateral premotor and supplementary motor cortices (PM) were examined in both the resting and motor training states. The lateralization index (LI), phase locking value (PLV), network metrics were employed to examine cortical activation patterns and topological properties of brain connectivity. ResultsThe data indicated that both dynamic and static modes resulted in significantly greater activation of the contralateral M1 area and the ipsilateral PM area when compared to the resting state. The static patterns demonstrated a more pronounced activation in the contralateral M1 in comparison to the dynamic patterns. The results of brain network analysis revealed significant differences between the dynamic and resting states in the contralateral PFC area and contralateral M1 area (F=4.709, P=0.038), as well as in the contralateral PM area and ipsilateral M1 area (F=4.218, P=0.049). Moreover, the findings indicated a positive correlation between the activation of the M1 region and the increase in force in the dynamic mode, which was reversed in the static mode. ConclusionBoth dynamic and static resistance training modes have been demonstrated to activate the corresponding brain functional regions. Dynamic resistance modes elicit greater oxygen changes and connectivity to the region of interest (ROI) than static resistance modes. Furthermore, the effects of increasing force differ between the two modes. In patients who have suffered a stroke, dynamic modes may have a more pronounced effect on the activation of exercise-related functional brain regions.

ObjectiveTo investigate the influenza virus infection status of influenza-like illness (ILI) at a sentinel hospital in Baoshan District of Shanghai, to explore the seasonal patterns of influenza, so as to provide a scientific basis for influenza prevention and control in Baoshan District of Shanghai. MethodsSurveillance data and pathogenic testing results of ILI from the monitoring year of 2015 to 2023 were collected from the sentinel hospital to describe the seasonal epidemic characteristics of influenza in this district. ResultsThe proportion of ILI visits to sentinel hospital in Baoshan District of Shanghai showed an upward trend from 2015 to 2023 (Z=2.598, P=0.09). The positive rate of influenza virus in ILI was 20.43% (1 761/8 621), of which 14.17% were positive for influenza A virus, including 8.43% for influenza A/H3N2 and 5.74% for influenza A/H1N1. The positive rate of influenza B virus was 6.25%, of which the positive detection rate of influenza B/Victoria virus was 5.35%, while that of influenza B/Yamagata virus was 0.90%. Influenza B/Yamagata virus was not detected in 2019‒2023. The highest positivity rate was observed in the 5‒<15 years age group (25.57%). The positive rate of ILI was lower in males (19.90%) than that in females (20.90%). There were three patterns of influenza epidemic in the district: with year-round circulation in 2016‒2017 and 2021‒2022; with bimodal peaks in 2015‒2016, 2017‒2018 and 2022‒2023; and with one peak in 2018‒2019 and 2019‒2020. The positive rate of influenza virus exhibited seasonal variations, with influenza A virus predominated in summer and autumn. However, influenza B virus showed an increase in spring and winter. ConclusionThe influenza epidemic in Baoshan District, Shanghai exhibits diverse patterns with heterogeneous epidemiological characteristics across different age groups and seasons. Notably, children and adolescents aged 5‒<15 years constitute the key target population for influenza prevention and control. Enhanced surveillance and targeted control measures against influenza A/H3N2 lineage viruses are particularly warranted during summer and autumn seasons.

Medical institutions, with their clinical practice foundation and abundant human use experience data, have become important carriers for the inheritance and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) and the "cradles" of the preparation of new TCM. To effectively promote the transformation of new TCM originating from the TCM clinical practice in medical institutions and establish an effective evaluation index system for the transformation of new TCM conforming to the characteristics of TCM, consensus experts adopted the literature research, questionnaire survey, Delphi method, etc. By focusing on the policy and technical evaluation of new TCM originating from the TCM clinical practice in medical institutions, a comprehensive evaluation from the dimensions of drug safety, efficacy, feasibility, and characteristic advantages was conducted, thus forming a comprehensive evaluation system with four primary indicators and 37 secondary indicators. The expert consensus reached aims to encourage medical institutions at all levels to continuously improve the high-quality research and development and transformation of new TCM originating from the TCM clinical practice in medical institutions and targeted at clinical needs, so as to provide a decision-making basis for the preparation, selection, cultivation, and transformation of new TCM for medical institutions, improve the development efficiency of new TCM, and precisely respond to the public medication needs.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effectiveness of digital three-dimensional (3D) assisted unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) in the treatment of highly isolated lumbar disc herniation (LDH) with translaminar approach. METHODS: The clinical data of 59 patients who met the selection criteria and underwent UBE treatment due to highly isolated LDH between January 2022 and December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 25 cases were treated with digital 3D assisted translaminar approach (observation group) and 34 cases were treated with interlaminar approach (control group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, disease duration, surgical segment, and preoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score and Oswestry disability index (ODI) between the two groups ( P>0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and lateral articular surface preservation rate were recorded and compared between the two groups. VAS score and ODI were used to evaluate the improvements of pain and function before operation and at 3 and 6 months after operation. The modified MacNab criteria was used to evaluate the effectiveness at last follow-up. RESULTS: One patient in the control group had dural tear, and the other patients had no nerve injury, infection, dural tear, or other related complications. There was no significant difference in operation time and intraoperative blood loss between the two groups ( P>0.05). Patients in both groups were followed up 6-13 months, with an average of 8.3 months. The lateral articular surface preservation rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( P<0.05). Three patients in the observation group and 2 patients in the control group had calf muscle venous thrombosis, which was cured after anticoagulant treatment with rivaroxaban and delayed exercise time. There was no recurrence or second operation during the follow-up period. The VAS score and ODI of the two groups at 3 and 6 months after operation significantly improved when compared with those before operation ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups at each time point after operation ( P>0.05). At last follow-up, the effectiveness was evaluated according to the modified MacNab criteria, and there was no significant difference in the evaluation grade and excellent and good rate between the two groups ( P>0.05). CONCLUTION UBE via translaminar approach is safe and effective for the treatment of highly isolated LDH, which is beneficial to protect the facet joint, maintain spinal stability, and reduce soft tissue injury. With the assistance of digital 3D technique, preoperative planning can be performed accurately.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of neural mobilization based on shoulder control training on shoulder pain and upper limb function in stroke patients with hemiplegia. MethodsFrom January, 2020 to November, 2021, 43 patients with hemiplegia after stroke in the Second People's Hospital of Nantong were randomly divided into control group (n = 21) and treatment group (n = 22). The control group received shoulder control training, while the treatment group received neural mobilization in addition. Before and after four weeks of treatment, they were evaluated with the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) of pain and Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremities (FMA-UE). ResultsOne case dropped off in the control group and two cases dropped off in the treatment group. After treatment, the NRS score and FMA-UE score improved in both groups (|t| >7.898, P < 0.001), and they were better in the treatment group than in the control group (|t| >2.337, P < 0.05). ConclusionNeural mobilization based on shoulder control training can significantly alleviate shoulder pain and improve upper limb motor function in stroke patients with hemiplegia.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of the comprehensive healthcare management model for children with bacterial meningitis after discharge.Methods:This study was a retrospective cohort study that included 268 children with bacterial meningitis who were discharged from the infectious medicine ward of Beijing Children′s Hospital from September 2018 to September 2023. The children were managed with a multidisciplinary collaborative comprehensive healthcare management model after discharge. Outpatient data at 1 month and 6, 12 and 24 months after discharge were collected, including (height, weight, body mass index, nutritional feeding status, hearing and vision screening results, Gesell developmental assessment results and intervention guidance services. The follow-up interval or frequency was dynamically adjusted or increased according to the child′s situation. The paired sample t-test and chi square test were applied to compare the differences in Gesell developmental quotient (DQ) and developmental delay rate between the first and last assessments to preliminarily explore the effectiveness of the comprehensive healthcare management model for children with bacterial meningitis after discharge. Results:All the 268 children completed their first assessment one month after discharge, and 37 children were found to have abnormal physical growth, mainly obesity (28 children), and another 9 children were malnutrition. Nutritional intervention and feeding guidance services were provided to all the 37 children, and as of the last follow-up, 20 children′s physical growth evaluations had turned normal. A total of 188 children completed at least 2 developmental assessments, with an interval of (14.2±9.4) months between the first and last assessments (range: 3.1-49.5 months). The DQ values of in the energy region of adaptability, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, language, and personal social skills at the last assessment were significantly higher than those at the first assessment [(91.93±13.28) vs (80.73±15.96) points, (91.69±12.96) vs (78.31±16.58) points, (89.32±16.11) vs (80.68±15.63) points, (90.10±16.65) vs (82.04±18.43) points, (92.01±14.05) vs (77.82±17.42) points]; moreover, the rates of developmental delay in each energy region were significantly lower than those at the initial assessment (9.6% vs 35.1%, 9.6% vs 42.0%, 18.1% vs 33.0%, 13.3% vs 31.9%, 9.6% vs 42.0%) (all P<0.05). Among the 200 children who completed the hearing screening, 18 were found with hearing abnormalities, and 2 were diagnosed with hearing loss in the Otolaryngology Department. Among 217 children who completed vision screening, 23 had abnormalities, and 5 were diagnosed with ophthalmic abnormalities in Ophthalmology Department (2 with strabismus, 2 with refractive errors, and 1 with optic nerve injury). Two children were found to have autism-like behavior during monitoring, and were referred to a developmental behavior clinic to be diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and were given early diagnosis and intervention guidance. Conclusion:The comprehensive healthcare management model for children with bacterial meningitis after discharge can integrate clinical and healthcare resources, which is beneficial for improving the prognosis and enhancing the quality of life for children with special health status.

Objective:This study aims to investigate the prevalence of chronic pain among elderly inpatients and its association with physical and cognitive frailty.Methods:A total of 540 elderly patients from the Department of Geriatric Medicine at Beijing Friendship Hospital were included in the study between January 2019 and December 2023.Based on the Numerical Rating Scale(NRS)scores, patients were categorized into two groups: those experiencing pain and those without pain.Univariate analysis was conducted to compare general information, physical frailty, and cognitive frailty between the two groups; however, no significant relationship was identified between cognitive decline and chronic pain.Additionally, Binary Logistic regression was employed to identify the independent factors influencing chronic pain.Results:The prevalence of chronic pain among elderly hospitalized patients was found to be 19.4%.Univariate analysis indicated that factors such as educational background, anxiety and depression, activities of daily living(ADL), polypharmacy, and physical frailty were associated with chronic pain.Furthermore, binary logistic regression identified educational background, polypharmacy, and physical frailty as independent influencing factors of chronic pain.Conclusions:The prevalence of chronic pain in elderly hospitalized patients is notably high, highlighting the need for more prospective studies to explore the relationship between chronic pain and multi-dimensional frailty, including social frailty.Addressing chronic pain in the elderly necessitates multidisciplinary interventions that consider the potential impact of frailty on pain.
