OBJECTIVE To prepare vancomycin hydrochloride(VH)-loaded polydopamine(PDA)nanoparticles(VH@PDA nanoparticles),and study their antimicrobial effect in combination with photothermal therapy.METHODS Using PDA as the carrier,VH was loaded to prepare VH@PDA nanoparticles(PDA nanoparticles were prepared using the same method).The nanoparticles were characterized with laser particle size analyzer,transmission electron microscope,and UV visible absorption spectrometer;the drug loading capacity and encapsulation efficiency of the nanoparticles were determined.The near-infrared laser irradiation was adopted to determine their photothermal ability.Taking Staphylococcus aureus as the research object,the bactericidal properties of the nanoparticles in combination with photothermal therapy in vitro were clarified through plate colony coating method,live/dead staining analysis,crystal violet staining.Using L929 cells as the research object,the effects of VH@PDA nanoparticles at different mass concentrations(0,3.125,6.25,12.5,25,50 and 100 μg/mL)on cell viability were investigated to assess their biocompatibility.RESULTS VH@PDA nanoparticles were successfully loaded with VH,exhibiting uniform particle size(approximately 300 nm),distinct pore size,and a spherical structure.The drug loading capacity was 11.34%,the encapsulation efficiency was 32.00%,the photothermal conversion efficiency reached 23.55%,and they demonstrated stable photothermal performance.The antibacterial effect results of the combined photothermal therapy demonstrated that without near-infrared laser irradiation,the antibacterial effects of VH,PDA nanoparticles,and VH@PDA nanoparticles were not significant.However,when subjected to near-infrared laser irradiation,VH@PDA nanoparticles exhibited a pronounced antibacterial effect.The results of the cell experiments revealed that after treatment with VH@PDA nanoparticles at various mass concentrations,the cell viability rates remained above 80%.CONCLUSIONS VH@PDA nanoparticles are successfully prepared,which exhibit stable photothermal properties,significant antibacterial effects when combined with photothermal therapy,and good biocompatibility.

Objective To explore the differential diagnosis of middle cerebral artery(MCA)embolic infarction and perforating artery infarction based on 3.0T vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging(VW-MRI)characteristics of the head and neck.Methods The data of 148 patients with MCA infarction were retrospectively analyzed.According to the infarction sites,all patients were divided into non-perforating artery infarction group(n=77)and perforating artery infarction group(n=71).All patients underwent routine MRI and VW-MRI scans.MCA stenosis rate,stenosis degree,remodeling index(RI),remodeling mode and plaque properties were evalu-ated,respectively.Results There was no significant difference in stenosis rate,stenosis degree,RI and remodeling mode between the two groups(P＞0.05),but there were significant differences in incidence of intraplaque hemorrhage and irregular plaques,plaque site and enhancement degree between the two groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion The differences in VW-MRI characteristics of different types of MCA infarction are mainly reflected in plaque properties,which provide useful information for clinical determina-tion of infarction types.

Objective:To explore the practical experience in perineal protection and assessment by midwives in general hospitals, so as to provide reference for further reducing the episiotomy rate for non-medical indications.Methods:From December 2021 to January 2022, applying a phenomenological research methodology, 14 midwives from four general hospitals in Anhui Province were selected through purposive sampling combined with maximum difference sampling for semi-structured interviews. Colaizzi 7-step analysis method was used to summarize, analyze and refine themes.Results:Three themes and 10 sub-themes were extracted, namely the motivation for perineal protection (policy orientation, reduction of childbirth injuries, maternal needs), decision-making factors for perineal protection (maternal and infant safety, maternal perineal condition, work experience, work environment, maternal cooperation), and techniques for perineal protection (patience, controlling the speed of fetal head delivery) .Conclusions:Midwives' perineal protection and assessment practices are influenced by multiple factors. Hospital administrators are advised to enhance midwife training, establish system processes to reduce perineal injuries, unify perineal assessment standards, and rationally control episiotomy rates while fully prioritizing the maternal and infant safety.

Objective:To evaluate the short-term efficacy of surgical treatment for severe pulmonary stenosis(PS) in infants and young children, and to clarify the impact of different surgical timings on the efficacy of PS treatment.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 24 infants and young children who underwent surgical treatment for severe PS at the General Hospital of Northern Theater Command, PLA, from January 1, 2020, to October 1, 2024. Among them, 13 were males and 11 were females. The average weight of the patients was(9.2±3.6) kg, the average gestational age was(39.3±1.7) weeks, and the average age was(15.0±13.5) months. Preoperative clinical symptoms and signs(e.g., cyanosis, shortness of breath), transpulmonary valve pressure gradient(TPVPG), right ventricular systolic pressure(RVSP), and Em/Am were recorded. The patients were divided into two groups based on surgical timing: the infant group(under 1 year old, n=12) and the toddler group(1-3 years old, n=12).Results:There were no deaths among all patients. The postoperative ICU stay was significantly longer in the infant group compared to the toddler group( P<0.05). Compared to preoperative values, surgical treatment significantly improved TPVPG, reduced RVSP, and enhanced right ventricular diastolic function, which stabilized by 3 months postoperatively( P<0.05). Intergroup comparisons revealed that the infant group had significantly lower TPVPG at 6 months postoperatively compared to the toddler group. Additionally, right ventricular diastolic function improved significantly in the infant group postoperatively, while no significant improvement was observed in the toddler group. Younger age and reduced right ventricular diastolic function were identified as major risk factors for prolonged mechanical ventilation(>24 hours). Conclusion:Surgical treatment for PS during infancy and early childhood is safe and effective. Comprehensive preoperative evaluation is crucial, and early surgical intervention is recommended for patients with impaired right ventricular function to improve prognosis.

Objective:To explore the effect of non-invasive intervention on preventing maternal breast tenderness, and to provide references for clinicians to select the optimal non-invasive intervention for the prevention of maternal breast tenderness.Methods:Literature focused on the effect of different non-invasive interventions to prevent maternal breast tenderness by randomized controlled trials design was searched in the databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, Wanfang, SinoMed, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Cochrane Library, from inception to April 8, 2024. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted the data and evaluated the quality of the literature. Stata 16.0 was used to conduct a network Meta-analysis.Results:A total of 21 studies involving 2 298 women, covering 5 non-invasive interventions (low-frequency pulse electrotherapy, breast massage combined with low-frequency pulse electrotherapy, breast massage and acupoint massage, breast massage and acupoint massage combined with ear point pressure bean, breast massage and acupoint massage combined with external application of Chinese medicine). The network meta-analysis results showed that, compared with routine care, five non-invasive interventions had statistically significant differences in reducing the incidence of maternal breast tenderness ( OR values ranging from 0.20 to 0.39, all P<0.05). Breast massage combined with low-frequency pulse electrotherapy ranked first in terms of effectiveness on preventing of breast tenderness. Conclusions:All five non-invasive interventions are effective on preventing maternal breast tenderness, with breast massage combined with low-frequency pulse electrotherapy being the most effective.

Objective To explore the effect of electromyographic perception-assisted robotic training combined with paired associa-tion stimulation on upper limb function in hemiplegic patients after stroke.Methods From December,2023 to December,2024,120 hemiplegic patients after stroke in Nanjing Pukou People's Hos-pital(Liangjiang Hospital,Southeast University)were randomly assigned to control group(n=60)and experi-mental group(n=60)using random envelope method.Both groups received medication and routine rehabilita-tion training,the control group received traditional muscle strength training combined with paired associative stimulation,and the experimental group received electromyographic perception robot-assisted training combined with paired association stimulation.Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremities(FMA-UE),modified Barthel In-dex(MBI),and modified Ashworth Scale(MAS)were conducted before and four weeks after treatment.The sur-face electromyography(sEMG)was used to detect the root mean square(RMS)and integrated electromyography(iEMG)of the biceps and triceps brachii,and to calculate the corresponding co-activation ratio(CR).Results Nine cases in the control group and four cases in the experimental group dropped down.After treatment,RMS of triceps,CR of flexion elbow,the scores of FMA-UE and MBI increased in both groups(|t|>2.219,P<0.001),and were better in the experimental group than in the control group(|t|>2.084,P<0.05);the biceps RMS and CR of elbow extension significantly increased in experimental group(|t|>3.863,P<0.001),and were better in the experimental group than in the control group(|t|>2.498,P<0.05).The MAS score of biceps improved in experi-mental group after treatment(Z=-4.097,P<0.001),and was better in the experimental group than in the con-trol group(Z=-3.459,P<0.01).Conclusion Electromyographic perception robot-assisted training combined with paired association stimulation can im-prove the upper limb motor function and the ability of daily living in hemiplegic patients after stroke.
