ObjectiveThis paper aims to observe the syndrome improvement and negative antigen conversion rate of Qingxuan Daozhi formula in the treatment of influenza in children （heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome）. MethodsThrough a multi-center randomized controlled methodology design，confirmed influenza cases were collected from October 2022 to April 2023 in the pediatrics department of eight hospitals，such as Dongfang Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. A total of 180 children with influenza and heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome conforming to the standard were recruited through the clinic. The sick children meeting the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into groups by a block-randomized method. The children in the experimental group were treated with Qingxuan Daozhi formula for five days，and those in the control group were treated with Oseltamivir Phosphate Granules for five days. The primary efficacy indicator was the negative conversion rate of influenza antigen detection. Secondary efficacy indicators were the Canadian acute respiratory illness and flu scale （CARIFS） and the incidence of complications，severe cases， and critical cases. Follow-up observation was conducted on the day of enrollment，48 hours after medication，72 hours after medication， and （6+1） d after medication. ResultsOne hundred and eighty participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group （90 cases） or the control group （90 cases）. All participants were followed up during the study. Comparison of influenza antigen detection results in the primary efficacy indicators showed that the average time of negative influenza antigen conversion in the experimental group was （5.29±1.25） d，and that in the control group was （5.40±1.68） d，without a statistically significant difference. After five days of intervention，52 cases in the experimental group and 51 cases in the control group converted to negative，without a statistically significant difference. CARIFS score results in the secondary efficacy indicators showed that during 72 hours after intervention，there were statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in three dimensions， including headache，muscle soreness， and the need for extra care （P<0.05）. On the （6+1） days after the intervention，the differences in both the experimental group and the control group were statistically significant in 10 dimensions， including sore throat，bad sleep，uncomfortable feeling，poor spirit and fatigue，crying more than usual，the need for extra care，symptom，function，influence on parents，and total score （P<0.05）. The comparison results within the group in the dimensional scores of symptom， function， and influence on parents，as well as the CARIFS total score showed that with the delay of follow-up time，scores of both groups decreased significantly，with a statistically significant difference （P<0.01）. Inter-group comparison results showed that the mean score of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group at the time of enrollment. With the progress of intervention，the score of the experimental group was significantly decreased compared with that of the control group. At the end of follow-up，the mean score of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group，with no statistically significant difference. In terms of the incidence of complications，severe cases， and critical cases， there were no complications，severe cases， and critical cases in the two groups，without a statistically significant difference. ConclusionThe symptom improvement effect and negative antigen conversion rate of Qingxuan Daozhi formula in the treatment of influenza in children （heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome） are not inferior to Oseltamivir Phosphate granules， and children's acceptance is better. It can be more widely used in clinical treatment of influenza in children （heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome）.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of Xiaoji Hufei Formula in protecting children with close contact exposure to influenza， and to provide reference and evidence-based support for better clinical prevention and treatment of influenza in children. MethodsA multicenter， prospective， non-randomized， parallel， controlled trial was conducted from October 2021 to May 2022 in five hospitals， including Dongfang Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. Confirmed influenza cases and influenza-like illness （ILI） cases were collected， and eligible children with close contact exposure to these cases were recruited in the outpatient clinics. According to whether the enrolled close contacts were willing to take Xiaoji Hufei formula for influenza prevention， they were assigned to the observation group （108 cases） or the control group （108 cases）. Follow-up visits were conducted on days 7 and 14 after enrollment. The primary outcomes were the incidence of ILI and the rate of laboratory-confirmed influenza. Secondary outcomes included traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） symptom score scale for influenza， influenza-related emergency （outpatient） visit rate， influenza hospitalization rate， and time to onset after exposure to influenza cases. ResultsA total of 216 participants were enrolled， with 108 in the observation group and 108 in the control group. Primary outcomes： （1） Incidence of ILI： The incidence was 12.0% （13/108） in the observation group and 23.1% （25/108） in the control group， with the observation group showing a significantly lower incidence （χ²=4.6， P<0.05）. （2） Influenza confirmation rate： 3.7% （4/108） in the observation group and 4.6% （5/108） in the control group， with no statistically significant difference. Secondary outcomes： （1） TCM symptom score scale： after onset， nasal congestion and runny nose scores differed significantly between the two groups （P<0.05）， while other symptoms such as fever， sore throat， and cough showed no significant differences. （2） Influenza-related emergency （outpatient） visit rate： 84.6% （11 cases） in the observation group and 96.0% （24 cases） in the control group， with no significant difference. （3） Time to onset after exposure： The median onset time after exposure to index patients was 7 days in the observation group and 4 days in the control group， with a statistically significant difference （P<0.05）. ConclusionIn previously healthy children exposed to infectious influenza cases under unprotected conditions， Xiaoji Hufei formula prophylaxis significantly reduced the incidence of ILI. Xiaoji Hufei Formula can be recommended as a specific preventive prescription for influenza in children.

Objective:To explore the relationship between childhood trauma and anxiety symptom among high school students,as well as the mediating role of social support and the moderating role of stressful life events.Methods:A total of 3 075 high school students were selected.The Short Form of the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire(CTQ-SF),Social Support Rate Scale(SSRS),Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Checklist(ASLEC)and Chinese Secondary School Students Anxiety Scale(CSSAS)were used to assess the levels of child-hood trauma,social support,stressful life events,and anxiety symptom severity.The SPSS PROCESS 3.3 macropro-gram was used to test the mediating effect and moderated mediation effect.Results:The CTQ-SF scores were posi-tively correlated with CSSAS scores(r=0.26,P＜0.001).The SSRS scores and the subjective support(S2)scores and availability of support(S3)scores in the SSRS played partial mediating effects between CTQ-SF scores and CSSAS scores.The mediating effects were 0.11(95％CI:0.09-0.12,P＜0.001),0.08(95％CI:0.06-0.09,P＜0.001),0.04(95％CI:0.03-0.06,P＜0.001)respectively,which accounted for 44.00％,32.00％,16.00％of the total effect respectively.The ASLEC scores moderated the relationship between CTQ-SF scores and CSSAS scores(β=0.02,P=0.044),and the relationship between SSRS scores and CSSAS scores(β=0.08,P＜0.001).Conclusion:Among high school students,social support and the subjective support and availability of support in so-cial support play partial mediating effects between childhood trauma and anxiety symptom,and stressful life events moderates the relationship between childhood trauma,social support and anxiety symptom.

Blood biochemical indicators are an important basis for the diagnosis and treatment by doctors. The performance of related instruments, the qualification of operators, the storage method and time of blood samples and other factors will affect the accuracy of test results. However, it is difficult to meet the clinical needs of rapid detection and early screening of diseases with currently available methods. Point-of-care testing (POCT) is a new diagnostic technology with the characteristics of instant, portability, accuracy and efficiency. Microfluidic chips can provide an ideal experimental reaction platform for POCT. This paper summarizes the existing detection methods for common biochemical indicators such as blood glucose, lactic acid, uric acid, dopamine and cholesterol, and focuses on the application status of POCT based on microfluidic technology in blood biochemistry. It also summarizes the advantages and challenges of existing methods and prospects for development. The purpose of this paper is to provide relevant basis for breaking through the technical barriers of microfluidic and POCT product development in China.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of joint screening of the two primary immunodeficiency diseases [severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) and X-linked agammaglobulinemia(XLA)] and spinal muscular atrophy(SMA) in newborns by multiplex real-time quantitative PCR technology, and to provide evidence for early screening, diagnosis and treatment of children.Methods:Cross-sectional study. From July 2021 to January 2023, a total of 103 240 dry blood spots samples of newborns were collected which were delivered to Neonatal Disease Screening Center of Zhejiang by cold chain transportation. The concentrations of the T cell receptor excision ring (TREC), Kappa deletion of the recombinant excision loop (KREC), and exon 7 deletion of Survival Motor Neuron 1 (SMN1) gene in dry blood spots were simultaneously detected by multiplex real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR, taken ribonuclease P/MRP 30 000 subunits (RPP30) as an internal reference gene. The positive newborns were further diagnosed by other laboratory tests and gene sequencing was taken as gold standard. Children samples from 1 case of SCID, 3 cases of XLA and 2 cases of SMA were used for positive verification. The correlation between detected concentration of TREC/KREC and basic information in newborns were analyzed. The differences among groups for each factor were analyzed.Results:One case of SCID, 2 cases of XLA, 9 cases of SMA and 7 cases of other genetic diseases (4 cases of DiGeorge syndrome, 1 case of trisomy 21 syndrome, 1 case of Noonan syndrome and 1 case of super male syndrome) were identified by multiplex real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. The positive predictive values of screening neonatal SCID, XLA and SMA were 2.44% (1/41), 2.78% (2/72) and 9/9 respectively. Taking the samples from clinically diagnosed 1 case of SCID, 3 cases of XLA and 2 cases of SMA as positive validation samples, which were all identified. The detected results of TREC/KREC correlated with time of blood collection, sex, weight, gestational age and delivery mode of newborns, whose r values were 0.162/0.187, 0.066/0.032, 0.045/0.042, ?0.015/?0.088 and 0.014/0.068 respectively (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Relying on current neonatal screening platform in Zhejiang, it is feasible to screen jointly two kinds of primary immunodeficiency diseases and spinal muscular atrophy in newborns by multiple real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR technology.

Objective:To explore the effects of nutritional therapy based on indirect calorimetry in patients with extremely severe burns during hypermetabolic stage.Methods:This study was a retrospective cohort study. From March 25, 2022 to March 30, 2024, 20 extremely severe burn patients who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the Department of Burn and Wound Repair of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine. There were 15 males and 5 females, aged (46±12) years. The patients were divided into death group (6 cases) and survival group (14 cases) according to their treatment outcomes. At the 3 rd, 7 th, 14 th, and 21 st d after injury, the resting energy expenditure (REE) of patients in the two groups was measured by indirect calorimetry once a day, and the nutritional treatment scheme was formulated according to the results of REE. The REE value, levels of albumin and interleukin-6 (IL-6), actual energy intake, and enteral nutrition energy intake of patients in the two groups at the 3 rd, 7 th, 14 th, and 21 st d after injury were collected (the last two indicators were respectively expressed as the mean values of the 3 rd to 6 th, 7 th to 10 th, 14 th to 17 th, and 21 st to 24 th d after injury). The actual energy intake/REE value and enteral nutrition energy intake/actual energy intake were calculated. Results:The REE values of patients in survival group and death group were (8 143±2 328), (9 843±2 610), (10 149±2 248), (9 608±2 838) kJ and (6 816±2 057), (10 691±2 515), (11 031±2 850), (8 990±2 018) kJ, respectively at the 3 rd , 7 th, 14 th, and 21 st d after injury. The REE value and enteral nutrition energy intake of patients in the two groups showed trends of increase first and decrease then from the 3 rd to 21 st d after injury, while the differences in the above two indicators at each time point between the two groups of patients were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The actual energy intake of patients in survival group at the 21 st d after injury was significantly higher than that at the 3 rd d after injury ( P<0.05), and the enteral nutrition energy intake of patients in death group at the 14 th d after injury was significantly higher than that at the 3 rd d after injury ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in overall comparison in actual energy intake/REE value and enteral nutrition energy intake/actual energy intake at each time point after injury between and within the two groups of patients ( P>0.05). The level of IL-6 of patients in survival group at the 21 st d after injury was significantly lower than that at the 3 rd and 7 th d after injury, respectively (with both P values <0.05), and significantly higher than that at the 14 th d after injury ( P<0.05); the level of IL-6 of patients in death group at the 21 st d after injury was significantly higher than that at the 3 rd, 7 th, and 14 th d after injury (with P values all <0.05). The albumin level of patients in survival group at the 7 th d after injury was significantly higher than that at the 3 rd d after injury ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The REE value and enteral nutrition energy intake of extremely severe burn patients showed trends of increase first and decrease then, while they have no significant effects on the clinical outcome of the patients. The nutritional treatment scheme based on the indirect calorimetry can basically meet the energy demand of patients with extremely severe burns during hypermetabolic stage. The impacts of the albumin and IL-6 levels on the clinical outcome of extremely severe burn patients still need further research.
