OBJECTIVE To investigate the changes of air aerosols in the digestive endoscope cleaning and disinfec-tion room under real working conditions and observe the purification effects of aerosols under different ventilation and disinfection modes.METHODS Under the real working conditions(with both the air conditioner and recircu-lating air disinfection machine under the working mode),the air samples were collected every 1 hour from 8:00 to 16:00 from the digestive endoscope cleaning and disinfection room of Ren Ji Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong U-niversity School of Medicine from May 2023 to Oct.2023;the contents of particulate matters(PM)and microor-ganisms in the air were detected.At the busiest moment of the cleaning and disinfection room,the air was respec-tively sampled from the cleaning and disinfection room with the working condition modes of air condition systems,recirculating air disinfection machine or natural ventilation before the starting of systems and after the work for 0.5 hour,1 hour and 2 hours.The contents of PMs and microorganisms were detected.RESULTS The PM0.5 con-centrations during various time periods met the Grade 9 ISO clean room standard(≤35,200 particles/L)under the real working conditions,and the content of airborne viable particles also conformed to the Class Ⅲ environmental requirements(≤500 CFU/m3).All of the three ventilation and disinfection methods showed certain effects on purification of the con-tents of PM0.5 and microorganisms after the ventilation for 2 hours,the contents of PMs and microorganisms of the air disinfection machine group decreased most remarkably,followed by the air conditioner group,the natural ventilation group the least.There were no significant differences in the PM concentration and the content of microorganisms among the three groups at the time points;there were only significant differences in the PM concentration and the content of mi-croorganisms of the air disinfection machine group after the ventilation for 2 hours,0.5 hour and 1 hour(P＜0.05).CONCLUSIONS Both the air conditioning systems and recirculating air disinfection machine under the working con-dition mode have certain effect on purification of the contents of PM and microorganisms,and the specific effect need to be further studied.The implementation of multicenter dynamic surveillance with the help of intelli-gent techniques may provide reference for the optimization of ventilation and disinfection strategies.

Objective:To summarize the clinical symptoms of cyclic vomiting syndrome（CVS）in children and investigate its association with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth（SIBO）.Methods:A total of 89 children who were diagnosed as CVS and improved lactulose hydrogen breath test (LHBT) in the Pediatric Department of Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital from June 2020 to June 2023 were selected as CVS group.Simultaneously，50 healthy children with physical examination in our hospital were selected as the control group. According to the results of LHBT,the children with CVS were divided into SIBO group (LHBT positive) and non-SIBO group (LHBT negative). The clinical data of children in each group were compared.Results:Among the 89 CVS patients，there were 42 males and 47 females，with a mean age of（7.50±3.54）years.Common accompanying symptoms included excessive sleepiness（76 cases，85.39%），anorexia(62 cases，69.66%），constipation（55 cases，61.80%），abdominal pain（34 cases,38.20%）and so on. There were no significant differences in age and gender between children in CVS group and control group ( P>0.05). The body mass index of CVS group was lower than that of control group.The positive rate of LHBT was higher than that of the control group (56.18% vs. 8.00%),the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05),and the concentrations of hydrogen and methane in CVS group were higher than those of the control group at different time points( P<0.05).Among 89 children with CVS,there were 50 cases in SIBO group and 39 cases in non-SIBO group. There were no significant differences in gender,age and body mass index between the two groups ( P>0.05). The constipation rate and moderate/severe disease rate in SIBO group were higher than those in non-SIBO group (88.00% vs. 28.21%,94.00% vs. 43.59%),and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The incidence of SIBO in children with CVS is higher,and SIBO may play a key role in CVS. CVS children with SIBO have higher disease severity.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of gut microbiota distribution in children with cyclic vomiting syndrome（CVS）complicated by constipation.Methods:The children with CVS, aged from 1 to 16 years, who were admitted to Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital from June 2022 to January 2024, were divided into constipation group and normal group(non-constipation group) according to whether they were complicated with constipation or not.The clinical data and stool samples of children were collect. The abundance, diversity and composition of intestinal flora in fecal samples of two groups were detected by metagenomics sequencing.Results:A total of 20 children with CVS were collected, including 10 patients in constipation group and 10 patients in normal group.There were no significant differences in general demographic data between the two groups, including age at admission, age at first onset, body mass index, gender distribution, disease severity, endoscopic findings, and abdominal pain patterns.Microbiome analysis yielded 470 operational taxonomic units (OTUs), with 414 OTUs identified in normal group and 56 OTUs in constipation group. The abundance and diversity of intestinal flora in constipation group were significantly lower than those in normal group. Principal coordinate analysis and principal component analysis indicated significant structural differences in gut microbiota composition between the two groups. LEfSe analysis revealed distinct taxonomic patterns between the two groups, with the normal group demonstrating predominant representation of Firmicutes at the phylum level, while the constipation group showed higher relative abundance of Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria. KEGG pathway analysis revealed that the carbon metabolism pathways was significantly enriched in the constipation group.Conclusion:There are significant differences in intestinal flora between CVS children with and without comorbid constipation.Bacteroides and Actinomycetes play an important role in constipation of children with CVS. The diversity and metabolic function of intestinal flora may be one of the pathological mechanisms of CVS complicated with constipation.

Objective:To evaluate clinical outcomes of occlusion-guided vascularized folded fibula flap reconstruction with delayed implant restoration for mandibular defects after benign tumor resection.Methods:A total of 12 patients with benign mandibular tumors underwent free folded fibula flap reconstruction at the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical University between January 2020 and December 2023, including 7 males and 5 females, aged 21-52 years. Six months after mandibular reconstruction, the internal fixation titanium plates were removed, and dental implants were placed using a preoperatively fabricated occlusal guide, followed by second-stage implant surgery and prosthetic restoration. Mandibular CT scans were obtained 6 months after reconstruction to compare the fitting accuracy between the preoperative virtual design and the actual reconstructed mandible. The implant stability quotient (ISQ) was measured 3 months after implant placement. Masticatory efficiency and Enneking lower limb function scores were evaluated at the following time points: before tumor surgery (T1), before implant placement (T2), 6 months (T3) and 9 months (T4) after implant crown restoration. One-way repeated measures ANOVA was used to analyze the masticatory efficiency and lower limb function scores.Results:The free folded fibula grafts were successfully performed via an intraoral approach in all 12 patients, with a 100% of survival rate. Mandibular defects included Brown class I in 6 cases, class II in 2 cases, and class III in 4 cases. A total of 42 implants were placed with successful osseointegration. The ISQ measured at 3 months post-placement was 64.10±4.18. At 6 months postoperatively, morphological analysis comparing the preoperative virtual surgical design with the actual postoperative reconstructed mandible revealed a reconstruction accuracy of 84.27%±4.23%. Significant differences were observed in Enneking scores and masticatory efficiency across all four time points (all P<0.001). Masticatory function showed significant improvement at T4 compared that at T2 [(88.06±3.66)% vs. (65.44±3.82)%, P<0.05]. Conclusion:Occlusal function-guided mandibular reconstruction with vascularized folded fibula flap after removal of benign mandibular tumors is a reliable method, which is associated with minimal donor-site morbidity and enables patients to restore precise occlusion and to achieve favorable masticatory efficiency.

Objective:To explore the effect of immobility on the quality of life in older adults.Methods:This cross-sectional study included 244 consecutive elderly patients aged 60 years and older who were admitted to the Department of Geriatrics at Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University from May 2022 to March 2023.Among the participants, 52.5%(128/244)were male and 47.5%(116/244)were female, with a mean age of 69.2±7.4 years.All participants underwent a series of assessments, including the Short Physical Performance Battery(SPPB), grip strength measurement, gait speed evaluation, and the Timed Up and Go test(TUG).The Barthel Index was employed to assess activities of daily living, while the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short Form Health Survey(SF-36)was used to evaluate quality of life.A score of SPPB ≤ 9 was used to diagnose immobility.Results:A total of 60 older adults met the criteria for immobility.Compared to the non-immobility group, the quality-of-life scores for older adults in the immobility group were significantly lower across various dimensions, including physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, physical component summary, and the total SF-36 score(all P<0.05).Furthermore, a positive correlation was identified between the SPPB scores and the quality-of-life scores across the dimensions of physical functioning, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, mental health, reported health transition, physical component summary, and the total SF-36 score among patients in the immobility group(all P<0.05).Additionally, older adults in the immobility group exhibited lower grip strength, slower gait speed, and longer TUG times, as well as a higher incidence of emergencies and falls over the past year(all P<0.05). Conclusions:The poorer quality of life and physical function, along with higher rates of emergencies and falls among older adults with immobility, indicate the necessity of addressing the health consequences that immobility inflicts on this population.
