Objective:To analyze the genetic characteristics of coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16) related to hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in Jiaxing from 2021 to 2023, and understand the biological and molecular evolutionary characteristics of CVA16 in this city.Methods:Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to detect enterovirus and its types in collected HFMD case samples. At the same time, virus isolation and cultivation were performed on positive samples using RD cells. Then high-throughput sequencing of the whole genome was performed on 23 strains of CVA16 identified from the isolated samples. Finally we obtained its whole genome sequence. DNAStar, MEGA 6.0, Simplot 3.5.1 and other bioinformatics software were used to compare and analyze the sequences, construct the phylogenetic tree of VP1 region, and realize the genotype composition. And these software were also used to analyze the homology of the whole genome nucleotide sequence and the encoded amino acids, while know well the amino acid mutation sites and gene recombination in the main regions.Results:The results showed that among the 1 836 HFMD specimens tested from 2021 to 2023, 1 432 (78.00%, 1 432/1 836) were positive for enterovirus general genes, of which 263 were positive for CVA16, accounting for 18.37% (263/1 432) of the confirmed positive cases. Twenty-three CVA16 strains were sequenced and all of them were B1 subtype, of which 6 strains belong to B1b and 17 strains belong to B1a, with B1a being dominant. B1a strains in Jiaxing showed genetic relatedness to strains isolated in Beijing, Yunnan, Guangzhou, Jiangsu and other places in 2018 to 2023, as well as strains from Vietnam, Thailand, and Australia from 2015 to 2017. B1b strains exhibited consistent amino acid mutations of L23M in the VP1 region and V217I in the VP2 region, while B1a strains exhibited amino acid mutations of S14N/D, T164K, and V251I in the VP1 region and R41H in the VP3 region. Compared with the prototype strain, the 23 strains of CVA16 in Jiaxing accumulated the largest number of amino acid mutations in the coding region, with 28 and 50 mutations in the VP1 and 3D regions, respectively. The recombination patterns of B1a and B1b strains were slightly different, with B1a type showing recombination with CVA8 in the 5′-UTR region instead of CVA4, B1a was similar to enterovirus A71 in most of P2 and P3 regions, and recombined with CVA5 in the 3D region of P3.Conclusions:The prevalent strain of CVA16 in Jiaxing may share a common trend of co-circulation and evolution with those in other provinces. The recombination mainly occurs in the 5′-UTR region and non-structural protein coding regions of P2 and P3. Continuous molecular surveillance of CVA16 is in need, and whole-genome sequencing can help understand the genetic variation, evolution, and recombination of strains.This information will provide a more robust basis for the monitoring and early warning, vaccine development, and prevention and control efforts against HFMD.

Ebstein anomaly (EA) is a rare type of congenital heart defect. Its incidence ranges from 0.005‰ to 0.025‰ among live-born fetuses. It is characterized by the displacement of the septal and posterior leaflets of the tricuspid valve toward the apex of the right ventricle, along with the atrialization and thinning of the right ventricle. Based on the severity of these anatomical features, EA can be classified into four types. The degree of hemodynamic abnormalities mainly depends on factors such as the volume of the atrialized right ventricle, tricuspid regurgitation, and right ventricular function. The main clinical manifestations include: heart failure, cyanosis, and arrhythmia. Echocardiography is the first-choice examination method for confirming the diagnosis. In addition, cardiac magnetic resonance is recognized as the gold standard for evaluating tricuspid regurgitation index and right ventricular function, and it holds significant value in the preoperative diagnosis of EA, treatment decision-making, and postoperative follow-up. Surgical intervention is the primary treatment approach. Although multiple surgical methods exist, the current Cone reconstruction technique is the preferred surgical procedure for this disease. Based on evidence-based data from literature and expert opinions, this article provides a comprehensive summary and recommendations regarding the clinical classification, diagnostic criteria, surgical treatment strategies, management of complications, and prognosis evaluation of EA.

Objective:To evaluate the safety, efficacy, advantages and disadvantages of the modified double-orifice valve plasty via total thoracoscopy for partial atrioventricular septal defect(PAVSD) through a retrospective analysis of early postoperative results.Methods:Patients diagnosed with PAVSD who underwent the standardized modified double-orifice valve plasty via total thoracoscopy between September 2023 and August 2024 were retrospectively enrolled. Baseline characteristics, surgical parameters, and follow-up outcomes were systematically analyzed.Results:A total of 14 patients(6 males, 8 females) were included, with a mean age of(32.9±15.5) years old and body weight of(55.1±11.6) kg. All procedures were successfully completed. The mean operative time, cardiopulmonary bypass time, and aortic cross-clamp time were(266.6±67.2) min, (160.7±34.2) min, and(97.0±31.1) min, respectively. Postoperative ICU stay, hospital stay, and total hospitalization duration were(1.7±1.1) days, (6.4±4.2) days, and(12.6±4.5) days, respectively. The mean follow-up duration was(7.9±3.6) months. Preoperatively, left atrioventricular valve regurgitation(LAVVR) was graded as mild, moderate, or severe in 5, 4, and 5 patients. Postoperatively, 13 patients exhibited mild or less LAVVR, with 1 case of moderate regurgitation. By 3 months, all patients demonstrated LAVVR of mild or lower severity, which remained stable through follow-up. Peak LAVV gradients were(4.6±2.7) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa)(range: 1.8-10.2 mmHg) postoperatively, improving to(3.6±0.6) mmHg(3.2-4.0) mmHg at 1 year. Right atrioventricular valve regurgitation improved from preoperative moderate-severe(50.0%) to LAVVR of mild or lower severity in all patients by 3 months. No mortality, residual shunts, or high-grade atrioventricular block occurred through follow-up. By 1 month, NYHA functional class improved to Ⅰ in all patients, which remained stable through follow-up.Conclusion:Standardized modified double-orifice valve plasty via total thoracoscopy for PAVSD demonstrates safety, minimal invasiveness, and rapid recovery, with favorable early outcomes.

Objective:To systematically review and evaluate prediction models for aspiration risk in enteral nutrition patients, providing a reference for the development and application of future models.Methods:Literature related to prediction models for aspiration risk in enteral nutrition patients was searched in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, China Biology Medicine disc, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, and PubMed, with the search period covering from the inception of the databases to August 30, 2024. Two researchers independently conducted literature screening and data extraction, and the PROBAST tool was used to assess the risk of bias and applicability of the included studies.Results:A total of 18 studies were included, involving 24 prediction models, with sample sizes ranging from 103 to 512 and an event rate of 9.46% to 49.87%. The top six predictive variables reported most frequently were baseline age, history of aspiration, length of nasogastric tube insertion, nutritional risk, impaired consciousness, and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation-Ⅱscore. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the models ranged from 0.756 to 0.992. Twelve studies reported model calibration, six studies conducted internal validation only, one study conducted external validation only, and four studies performed both internal and external validation. The overall applicability of the 18 studies was good, but the risk of bias was high, mainly due to improper handling of continuous variables and missing data.Conclusions:The aspiration risk prediction models developed in various studies for enteral nutrition patients show good applicability but carry a high risk of bias. Future efforts should focus on further optimizing the model construction process, internal and external validation, and result analysis to provide more reliable and scientific tools for clinical aspiration risk assessment.
