Objective To compare the clinical efficacy, safety, and patient’ prognosis of catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) via anterior tibial vein and popliteal vein approaches in the treatment of acute lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 195 patients diagnosed with acute mixed lower extremity DVT and treated with CDT in the Department of Interventional and Vascular Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from January 2020 to December 2023. Patients were divided into an observation group (anterior tibial vein approach, n＝97) and a control group (popliteal vein approach, n＝98) according to the puncture route. Baseline data, thrombolysis-related indices (urokinase dosage, coagulation function indices), efficacy measures (degree of thrombus dissolution, leg circumference difference, visual analogue scale [VAS] score, venous clinical severity score [VCSS]), recovery parameters (time to ambulation, length of hospital stay), complication rates, and long-term prognosis measures (Villalta score, incidence of post-thrombotic syndrome [PTS]) were compared between the two groups. Results There was no statistically significant difference in urokinase dosage and levels of coagulation function indices between the two groups. Postoperatively, the leg circumference difference at 15 cm below the knee, VAS score, and VCSS score were significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group (P＝0.001). The observation group had higher grade Ⅲ dissolution rates in the popliteal and anterior tibial veins compared to the control group (P＜0.05), while differences of dissolution rates in the iliac and femoral veins were not statistically significant. The observation group had shorter length of hospital stay and earlier ambulation times than the control group (P＝0.001). There were no significant differences in complication rates, Villalta scores, or PTS incidence between the two groups. Conclusions CDT via the anterior tibial vein puncture approach for acute mixed lower extremity DVT is superior to the popliteal vein approach in promoting resolution of lower extremity swelling, alleviating pain, improving venous clinical symptoms, and achieving higher thrombus dissolution rates in the popliteal and anterior tibial veins. It also enables faster recovery and demonstrates good safety.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) combined with upper limb intelligent robotic training on muscle tension, motor function and cortical excitability in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (USCP). MethodsFrom March, 2023 to December, 2024, 90 children with USCP admitted to Children's Hospital of Soochow University were selected and randomly divided into control group (n = 30), rPMS group (n = 30) and combined group (n = 30). The control group received conventional occupational therapy. The rPMS group received rPMS intervention followed by conventional occupational therapy. The combined group received rPMS followed by upper limb intelligent robot training, for four weeks. Before and after treatment, muscle tension of biceps brachii was assessed using the modified Ashworth Scale (MAS); upper limb motor function was evaluated using the Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) and upper limb intelligent parameters; and cortical excitability was measured using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), including resting motor threshold (RMT) and motor-evoked potential (MEP) amplitude of the affected hemisphere. ResultsAfter treatment, MAS grades improved in all groups (|Z| > 3.523, P < 0.001), and the improvement in the combined group was superior to that in the control group (P < 0.05). Significant intra-group (F > 65.21, P < 0.001), inter-group (F > 17.94, P < 0.001) and interaction effects (F > 5.36, P < 0.01) were observed in FMA-UE scores, upper limb intelligent parameters and TMS parameters. Post Hoc analysis showed that the combined group demonstrated significantly greater improvements in FMA-UE scores, upper limb intelligent parameters, and TMS parameters compared with both the control and rPMS groups (all P < 0.01). Except for FMA-UE scores, the rPMS group showed significantly greater improvements than the control group in upper limb intelligent parameters (mechanical feedback, trajectory, and range of motion) and TMS parameters (RMT and MEP amplitude) (P < 0.05). ConclusionrPMS combined with upper limb intelligent robotic training can reduce upper limb muscle tension, improve motor function, and enhance cortical excitability in children with USCP.

Objective: To explore the association role of anxiety and depressive symptoms with Internet gaming disorder (IGD) and emotional-behavioral problems among junior high school students, so as to provide references for preventing the occurrence and progression of emotional-behavioral problems in middle school students. Methods: From September to October 2024, a random cluster sampling method was adopted to select 38 069 students from 28 junior high schools in 14 counties (cities and districts) and functional areas of Jining City, Shandong Province. Surveys were conducted by Nine item Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. The correlation of emotional and behavioral issues, online game addiction, anxiety and depressive symptoms among junior high school students was analyzed by Speaman correlation analysis. Mediation analysis was used to explore the role of anxiety and depressive symptoms between IGD and emotional-behavioral problems among junior high school students. Results: The detection rates of emotional-behavioral problems, anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, and IGD among junior high school students were 19.24 %, 9.48%, 16.69%, and 19.68%, respectively. The scores of emotional-behavioral problems, anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms and IGD were 10.00 (6.00, 15.00), 3.00 (0.00, 7.00), and 4.00 (1.00, 8.00), 13.00 (10.00, 19.00), respectively. There were positive correlations between each pair of emotional-behavioral problem, IGD, anxiety symptoms, and depressive symptoms scores ( r =0.51-0.81, all P <0.01). Anxiety and depressive symptoms played mediating roles between IGD and emotional-behavioral problems among junior high school students, with mediating effect values of 0.16 (95% CI =0.15-0.17) and 0.12 (95% CI =0.11-0.14), respectively (both P <0.01). Conclusions Anxiety and depressive symptoms mediate the relationship between IGD and emotional-behavioral problems among junior high school students. It is necessary to identify early signs of IGD among junior high school students, strengthen intervention for anxiety and depressive symptoms, to prevent the occurrence and development of emotional and behavioral issues.

Objective:To understand the current status of knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of nurses in palliative care under the model of palliative co-care in hospitals of different levels in Zhejiang Province, and to analyze the influencing factors.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. Convenience sampling was used to select 541 clinical registered nurses from 3 Class Ⅲ hospitals, 3 Class Ⅱ hospitals, and 2 ClassⅠ hospitals in Hangzhou, Huzhou, and Lishui, Zhejiang Province, from March to April 2023. A general information questionnaire and the KAP Survey Scale of Palliative Care Under the Palliative Co-care Model were used to investigate the subjects. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to analyze the influencing factors of nurses' KAP of palliative care under palliative co-care. A total of 541 questionnaires were distributed, and 535 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective response rate of 98.89%.Results:The scores of 535 nurses for palliative care knowledge, attitude, and practice were (16.29±1.99), (71.10±9.00), and (32.21±5.89), respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that hospital level, gender, and whether nurses have participated in on-the-job training on palliative care are influencing factors of nurses' knowledge of palliative care ( P<0.05) ; ethnicity and the duration of palliative care training courses attended within two years are influencing factors of nurses' attitude toward palliative care ( P<0.05) ; department is an influencing factor of nurses' practice of palliative care ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Under the palliative co-care model in Zhejiang Province, nurses demonstrate a good attitude toward palliative care, while their knowledge and practice levels of palliative care still have room for improvement, with distinct influencing factors for each dimension-hospital level, gender, and on-the-job training participation affect knowledge; ethnicity and training duration within two years affect attitude; and department affects practice.

Objective:To summarize the clinical and genetic characteristics of patients with neurodevelopmental disorder with or without variable brain abnormalities (NEDBA) caused by MAPK8IP3 gene variation. Methods:The clinical data and genetic testing results of 2 children with NEDBA treated in Henan Children′s Hospital from August 2019 to January 2022 were collected retrospectively. Literature was searched and reviewed from China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, PubMed database and OMIM database (up to October 2024) with" MAPK8IP3 gene ""NEDBA ""neurodevelopmental disorders "as the search terms. The main clinical genetic characteristics of NEDBA caused by MAPK8IP3 gene variation were summarized. Results:The 2 children, a boy aged 1 year and 8 months and a girl aged 1 year and 4 months, both showed global developmental delay and the onset of the disease in infancy. The de novo heterozygous mutation c.1732C>T(p.Arg578Cys) of the MAPK8IP3 gene was detected by whole-exome sequencing. Case 1 was followed up to 3 years and 10 months old, who had severe developmental delay and was accompanied by hip subluxation and strephexopodia. Literature search retrieved 0 Chinese literature and 2 English literatures. A total of 18 patients including 2 cases reported in this study were identified as NEDBA caused by MAPK8IP3 gene variations, including 16 cases with missense mutations and 2 cases with truncation mutations. Among them, 7 patients carried c.1732C>T(p.Arg578Cys) and 5 patients carried c.3436C>T(p.Arg1146Cys). The main clinical manifestations of the 18 patients included developmental delay/intellectual disability (18 cases), poor or absent speech (11 cases), abnormal neurological examination (10 cases: 6 with spastic paraplegia, 2 with spasticity, 2 with ataxia, 1 with unstable gait), hypotonia (10 cases), skeletal malformations (10 cases: 4 with short stature, 3 with scoliosis, 1 with 5th finger clinodactyly and brachydactylky, 1 with flat-valgus feet, 1 with hip subluxation), seizures (3 cases), left hearing loss (1 case), myopic astigmatism and pseudostrabismus (1 case), abnormal brain magnetic resonance imaging (15 cases). Conclusions:Patients with NEDBA is usually characterized by global developmental delay apparent from infancy or early childhood, resulting in language and motor disorders. Additional features may include hypotonia, spasticity, skeletal malformations and abnormal brain magnetic resonance imaging. Currently, missense variations are frequent among the heterozygous MAPK8IP3 genotypes, among which c.1732C>T(p.Arg578Cys) and c.3436C>T(p.Arg1146Cys) are considered hot spot variations.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics of 5 children with developmental epileptic encephalopathy type 17 (DEE17) caused by GNAO1 gene variants confirmed by whole-exome sequencing and analyze the features of their genetic variants. Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 5 children diagnosed with GNAO1-related DEE17 in the Department of Neurology, Children′s Hospital of Soochow University from January 2019 to October 2024. Their clinical features, genetic testing results, neuroimaging findings, electroencephalogram (EEG) results, and treatment regimens were summarized. Follow-up was performed via telephone or outpatient visits. Results:Among the 5 diagnosed children (3 males, 2 females), the age of onset ranged from 2 days to 2 years, and the age at diagnosis ranged from 2 days to 6 years. Four children presented with seizures in the neonatal or infantile period, manifesting as hypotonia, developmental delay, and seizure types including generalized tonic-clonic, myoclonic, and epileptic spasms. One child had a later onset at 2 years, presenting with language delay, intellectual disability, and involuntary movements, followed by seizures at 6 years, including focal and generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Genetic testing revealed de novo heterozygous missense variants in GNAO1 in all 5 cases: c.119G>C (p.G40A), c.808A>C (p.N270H), c.808A>G (p.N270D), c.118G>C (p.G40R), and c.17G>T (p.S6I). Among these variants, c.119G>C and c.17G>T were previously unreported pathogenic variants. Neuroimaging showed nonspecific changes in 3 children (widened frontal-temporal subarachnoid space, delayed myelination) and abnormal white matter signals in 2 cases. Long-term video-EEG revealed abnormal discharges and background slowing in all cases: multifocal discharges in 4 cases and focal epileptiform discharges (left mid-temporal) in 1 case. Clinical seizures were captured in 3 cases: 1 with a burst-suppression pattern and 2 with hypsarrhythmia. All patients received 3 or more antiseizure medications. Four cases (cases 1-4) responded well to topiramate combination therapy, with 2 cases (cases 1, 2) achieving complete seizure freedom and 2 cases (cases 3, 4) experiencing more than a 50% reduction in seizures. One child (case 3) achieved seizure control with an adjunctive ketogenic diet. The late-onset case (case 5) required a combination of levetiracetam, oxcarbazepine, and valproate for seizure management. Conclusions:GNAO1 variants can lead to DEE17 with diverse seizure types, often requiring multiple antiseizure medications, among which topiramate is effective. Early-onset cases typically present with seizures and developmental delay, while late-onset cases may exhibit language delay, intellectual disability, movement disorders, and refractory epilepsy. Genetic testing should be performed early for timely diagnosis.
