ObjectiveTo systematically compare the effects of diverse electromagnetic stimulation protocols on hand function and activities of daily living (ADL) in stroke patients using network meta-analysis (NMA), and screen the optimal stimulation strategy for post-stroke hand dysfunction rehabilitation. MethodsNMA was performed in accordance with the PRISMA-NMA statement. Databases of CNKI, Wanfang data, VIP, CBM, PubMed, Web of Science and Embase were searched from database inception to April, 2026 for eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing different electromagnetic stimulation protocols for post-stroke hand impairment. The Cochrane Risk of Bias tool and PEDro scale were used to assess methodological quality of included studies, while the GRADE system was adopted to grade evidence quality of primary outcomes of Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremities (FMA-UE) and modified Barthel Index (MBI). After literature screening, data extraction and bias evaluation, RevMan 5.4 and Stata 17.0 were used for meta-analysis and NMA. ResultsA total of 22 RCT involving 17 electromagnetic stimulation protocols were finally included. The PEDro scores ranged from six to ten. The top five protocols for improving FMA-UE score were repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) + repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) + rPMS, iTBS + transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) and contralaterally controlled functional electrical stimulation (CCFES). tDCS was the most effective on MBI, followed by TEAS and iTBS+rPMS. Evidence quality for FMA-UE and MBI was moderate. Funnel plots suggested low risk of publication bias, and consistency tests verified good coherence between direct and indirect comparisons in network models. ConclusionElectromagnetic stimulation significantly facilitates upper limb and hand functional recovery, and improves ADL in stroke patients. The combined central-peripheral magnetic stimulation protocol may be the most effective on motor rehabilitation, whereas tDCS on ADL.

AIM: To evaluate the effects of the myopia prevention and control guidance station(MPCGS)on axial elongation in school-age children.METHODS:This was a prospective cohort study.Students enrolled in Grades 1 to 3 of primary schools in Qingyang District, Chengdu, in the first half of 2022 who completed continuous follow-up from 2022 to 2025 were included in this study. Among them, three schools that implemented the MPCGS in 2023 were assigned to the intervention group, and another three schools in the same district without MPCGS served as the control group. The intervention group received the school-hospital-family integrated model for myopia prevention and control,while the control group only received routine vision screening without such intervention measures.Students were categorized into three groups based on their grade in 2022: Group A(Grade 1), Group B(Grade 2), and Group C(Grade 3). Comparisons were stratified by grade, with independent samples t-tests used for intergroup analyses of annual axial elongation(ΔAL)between the intervention and control groups, and repeated-measures ANOVA(Bonferroni-corrected post-hoc test)used for intervention group comparisons across different time points.RESULTS:Totally 3 404 students were enrolled in this study, including 1 709 in the intervention group(897 males and 812 females, aged 7.64±0.88 y)and 1 695 in the control group(902 males and 793 females, aged 7.75±0.97 y). In the intervention group, there were 537 students in subgroup A(293 males and 244 females, aged 7.08±0.28 y), 721 in subgroup B(369 males and 352 females, aged 8.03±0.29 y), and 451 in subgroup C(235 males and 216 females, aged 9.07±0.30 y). In the control group, there were 559 students in subgroup A(295 males and 264 females, aged 7.05±0.28 y), 497 in subgroup B(269 males and 228 females, aged 8.04±0.30 y), and 639 in subgroup C(338 males and 301 females, aged 9.08±0.30 y). No significant differences were observed between the intervention and control groups within each grade(A, B, and C)at baseline age, sex, SE, AL, ΔSE(2022-2023), and ΔAL(2022-2023)(all P>0.05). During the first intervention year(2023-2024), intergroup comparisons revealed no significant differences in ΔAL between the intervention and control groups within Groups A, B, and C(all P>0.05). During the second intervention year(2024-2025), the intervention group showed significantly lower ΔAL than the control group within Groups A and B(PSymbol|@@0.001 and P=0.017, respectively), while no significant difference in ΔAL was detected in Group C(P=0.419). In the intervention group, there were significant differences in ΔAL at different time points among Groups A, B and C(all P<0.001). Compared with the first year before intervention, the ΔAL of each subgroup significantly decreased in the second year of intervention(all P<0.0167).CONCLUSION:The implementation of the school-hospital-family integrated MPCGS model was associated with slowed axial elongation. This association exhibited a time-dependent cumulative effect and was more pronounced in lower-grade children(grades 1-2).

Objective:To explore the influencing factors for skin pruritus and to construct a nomogram prediction model in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.Methods:It was a retrospective cross-sectional investigation study. The PD patients who were regularly followed up between July, 2023 and April, 2024 in PD center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were enrolled in this study. The pruritus status was evaluated by the 14-Item UP-Dial Scale. The general demographic data and clinical data were collected. The patients were divided into pruritus group and non-pruritus group according to the presence or absence of skin itching. The differences of clinical data and laboratory results were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression was used to analyze the associated factors for pruritus in PD patients. The nomogram model was constructed by R software. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test were used to evaluate the performance of the model, and its clinical effectiveness was evaluated using the calibration curve.Results:A total of 315 PD patients were enrolled in this study, with age of (48.0±12.9) years, including 134 females (42.5%). Among them, 161 patients (51.1%) experienced skin pruritus. Of whom, 111 patients (68.9%) had mild pruritus, 34 patients (21.1%) had moderate pruritus, 16 patients (9.9%) had severe pruritus. The age ( t=-2.266, P=0.024), proportion of diabetes mellitus ( χ2=3.910, P=0.048), Charson comorbidity index ( Z=-2.458, P=0.014), blood eosinophil percentage ( Z=-2.385, P=0.017), C-reactive protein ( Z=-2.590, P=0.010), serum phosphorus ( Z=-3.233, P=0.001) and β2 microglobulin ( Z=-2.756, P=0.006) level in the pruritus group were higher than those in the non-pruritus group, and the measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) level ( Z=-3.708, P<0.001) of patients in the pruritus group was lower than that in the non-pruritus group. There were 262 patients in the training set and 53 patients in the validation set. The multivariate logistic regression analysis in the training set revealed that advanced age ( OR=1.032, 95% CI 1.010-1.054, P=0.004), lower mGFR ( OR=0.758, 95% CI 0.648-0.886, P<0.001), higher serum phosphorus ( OR=2.761, 95% CI 1.282-6.024, P=0.010), and elevated blood eosinophil percentage ( OR=1.098, 95% CI 1.012-1.191, P=0.025) were independent factors associated with pruritus in PD patients. The nomogram model constructed based on these indicators demonstrated good discrimination and calibration. In the training set, the area under the ROC curve ( AUC) was 0.757 (95% CI 0.699-0.816), with Hosmer-Lemeshow test χ2=4.979, P=0.760. In the validation set, the AUC was 0.779 (95% CI 0.651-0.907), and Hosmer-Lemeshow test χ2=12.938, P=0.114. Conclusions:The prevalence of skin pruritus is 51.1% in PD patient. Advanced age, lower mGFR, higher serum phosphorus and higher blood eosinophil percentage are the independent influencing factors for pruritus in PD patients. The nomogram model constructed based on these indicators shows excellent predictive performance for skin pruritus in PD patients.

AIM:To observe the defocus state and myopia control in myopic children wearing single-vision, defocus, and orthokeratology lenses using multispectral refraction topography(MRT).METHODS: A total of 279 myopic patients aged 8-14 years old, with a spherical equivalent(SE)from -7.00 to -0.50 D, treated at the Chengdu Aier Eye Hospital from June 2022 to December 2023. Patients who volunteered for the study were assigned to three groups. A total of 94 cases were provided with single-vision spectacle lenses(SVL group), 90 cases received individualized ocular refraction customization(IORC group), and 95 cases received orthokeratology lenses(OK group). Simultaneously, the three groups were further categorized into low(-3.00 to -0.50 D), moderate(-6.00 to -3.25 D), and high myopia(-7.00 to -6.25 D)groups according to different SE. MRT was used to measure and compare the defocus changes of the retina in supperior, inferior, nasal, and temporal quadrants(RDV-S, RDV-I, RDV-N, RDV-T), and three angles of field of view, including 0-15°, 15°-30°, and 30°-45°(RDV-15, RDV-30, RDV-45)in the three groups(the data divide for the connected regions is grouped to the latter group). A one-way analysis of variance was used for intergroup comparisons. Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were used to analyze the factors related to changes in the axial length(AL)at 1 a after intervention.RESULTS:There were significant differences in 1-year SE and AL growth among patients in the SVL, IORC, and OK groups before and after intervention(P<0.001). The 1-year SE and the difference of AL growth in patients with low myopia was significantly different among SVL, IORC, and OK groups(P<0.001); however, there was no significant difference between the IORC and OK groups(P>0.05); there were significant differences in the SE and AL growth changes between the OK group and the IORC and SVL groups in moderate myopia(P<0.001); and there were significant differences between the OK group and the IORC and SVL groups in SE and AL growth of high myopia group after wearing lenses for 1 a(P<0.001), while there were no significant differences between the IORC and SVL groups(P>0.05). In addition, there were significant differences in the relative peripheral refractive errors(RPRE)of 4 quadrants and 3 eccentric regions among the three groups of patients in different degrees of myopia groups(P<0.001). Pair-wise comparison of the growth difference of eccentric D-RDV-15 in low myopia group after wearing lenses for 1 a showed significant differences between the SVL, IORC, and OK groups(P<0.001), but no significant differences between the IORC and OK groups(P>0.05). The angle of field of view D-RDV-30 in moderate myopia subgroups was statistically different between the SVL group and the IORC and OK groups after wearing lenses for 1 a(P<0.001), while the IORC and OK groups showed no significant differences(P>0.05); the angle of field of view D-RDV-15 in high myopia subgroups was statistically different between the OK group and the IORC and SVL groups after wearing lenses for 1 a(P<0.001), but there was no significant difference between the IORC and SVL groups(P>0.05). Univariate and multivariate linear regression model analysis showed that the changes in D-TRVD, D-RDV-45, D-RDV-N, and D-RDV-I correlated with the increase in the difference in 1 a AL.CONCLUSION: MRT can be used to guide the clinical control of myopia. Myopia development is related to the peripheral retinal defocus state, and the difference of defocus quantity in the inferior nasal side at 30°-45° eccentricity may be a factor regulating the rapid progression of myopia.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of leaflet augmentation technique to repair the recurrent mitral valve (MV) regurgitation after mitral repair in children. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of children who underwent redo MV repair for recurrent regurgitation after initial MV repair, using a leaflet augmentation technique combined with a standardized repair strategy at Fuwai Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, from 2018 to 2022. The pathological features of the MV, key intraoperative procedures, and short- to mid-term follow-up outcomes were analyzed. Results A total of 24 patients (12 male, 12 female) were included, with a median age of 37.6 (range, 16.5–120.0) months. The mean interval from the initial surgery was (24.9±17.0) months. All children had severe mitral regurgitation preoperatively. The cardiopulmonary bypass time was (150.1±49.5) min, and the aortic cross-clamp time was (94.0±24.2) min. There were no early postoperative deaths. During a mean follow-up of (20.3±9.1) months, 3 (12.5%) patients developed moderate or severe mitral regurgitation (2 severe, 1 moderate). One (4.2%) patient died during follow-up, and one (4.2%) patient underwent a second MV reoperation. The left ventricular end-diastolic diameter was significantly reduced postoperatively compared to preoperatively [ (43.5±8.6) mm vs. (35.8±7.8)mm, P<0.001]. Conclusion The leaflet augmentation technique combined with a standardized repair strategy can achieve satisfactory short- to mid-term outcomes for the redo mitral repair after previous MV repair. It can be considered a safe and feasible technical option for cases with complex valvular lesions and severe pathological changes.
