Objective:To investigate the association between magnesium sulfate exposure within 24 h before birth and short-term outcomes in preterm infants under 34 weeks' gestation.Methods:This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from preterm infants under 34 weeks admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University between June 1, 2020, and December 31, 2024. Infants were categorized into the exposure and the control groups based on magnesium sulfate administration within 24 hours before delivery. Maternal characteristics, birth parameters, and neonatal outcomes were compared using independent t-tests or Chi square tests (Fisher's exact test), with logistic regression assessing magnesium sulfate's effect on non-cerebral palsy outcomes. Results:The cohort comprised 384 preterm infants (24-33 +6 weeks), with 290 (75.5%) in the exposure group and 94 (24.5%) in the control group. (1) Baseline characteristics showed no significant differences in maternal hypertensive disorders, antenatal corticosteroids administration, premature rupture of membranes, delivery mode, or male infant proportion (all P>0.05). The exposure group had lower birth weight [(1 583±451) vs. (1 744±473) g; t=2.97] and gestational age [(31.3±2.1) vs.(31.8±2.4) weeks; t=2.20; both P<0.05)]. (2) The exposure group demonstrated reduced incidence of in-hospital mortality [0.3% (1/290) vs. 6.4% (6/94); Fisher's exact test], grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ intracranial hemorrhage [1.7% (5/290) vs. 9.6% (9/94); χ2=12.86], and white matter injury [2.1% (6/290) vs. 9.1% (8/94); χ2=9.08] (all P<0.01). (3) Univariate logistic regression identified antenatal magnesium sulfate as protective against grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ intracranial hemorrhage ( OR=0.20, 95% CI: 0.04-0.96), white matter injury ( OR=0.11, 95% CI: 0.01-0.91), and in-hospital mortality ( OR=0.93, 95% CI: 0.88-0.99). (4) Multivariate analysis confirmed the independent protective effect of antenatal exposure of magnesium sulfate against intracranial hemorrhage in preterm infants under 34 weeks ( OR=0.19, 95% CI: 0.04-0.95), particularly pronounced in infants <32 weeks ( OR=0.11, 95% CI: 0.01-0.96). (5) No significant differences emerged in secondary outcomes including 5-minute Apgar scores, respiratory distress syndrome, surfactant administration, mechanical ventilation, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus, necrotizing enterocolitis, early-onset sepsis, retinopathy of prematurity, metabolic bone disease, or hospitalization duration (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Magnesium sulfate exposure within 24 hours before delivery reduces grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ intracranial hemorrhage risk in preterm infants under 34 weeks, with enhanced protection in those <32 weeks, without increasing adverse effects in other organ systems.

Objective To compare the effect of different intensity of neuromuscular training(NMT)on muscle strength and knee joint function of patients after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction(ACLR).Methods From January,2023 to January,2024,60 ACLR patients in Changhai Hospital were selected,and they received the same intensity of NMT from one to eight weeks after surgery.Eight weeks after surgery,they were randomly divided into low intensity group(n=30)and high intensity group(n=30),and then they received different inten-sities of NMT from nine to 16 weeks after surgery,each training session lasted one hour,with three sessions per week,totaly 48 sessions.The Lysholm score,knee flexor and extensor muscle strength and muscle endurance-were compared at eight weeks and 16 weeks after surgery.Results After group training,the Lysholm score significantly increased in both groups(|t|>13.739,P<0.001),and was higher in the high intensity group than in the low intensity group(t=-2.574,P<0.05);in the high intensity group,the relative peak torque and endurance of the extensor and flexor muscles improved at angular velocities of 60°/s,120°/s and 180 °/s(|t|>2.320,P<0.05);in the low intensity group,the flexor peak torque improved at all the three angular velocities(t>2.177,P<0.05),the extensor peak torque improved at angular velocities of 60°/s and 180°/s(|t|>1.715,P<0.05),and the extensor endurance improved at angular velocity of 60°/s(t=-2.293,P<0.05).However,there was no significant difference in the relative peak torque and endurance of the extensor and flexor muscles at all the three angular velocities(P>0.05).Conclusion Both high and low intensity NMT could improve the muscle strength,muscle endurance and knee joint func-tion.Maybe,high intensity is superior to low intensity.Further verification is still needed.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of respiratory pathogens in China.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study, which encompassed 19 core units of the clinical pathogen network and established a three-tiered clinical pathogen surveillance system. Thirty respiratory samples were collected every two weeks from various units from January to December 2024, and the clinical and pathogen diagnostic information were gathered. A total of 11 864 samples were tested using this system. The tier-1 clinical pathogen surveillance system covered influenza A virus (Flu-A), influenza B virus (Flu-B), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The tier-2 clinical pathogen surveillance system focused on 18 key respiratory pathogens. The tier-3 clinical pathogen surveillance system further clarified whether any emerging infectious diseases had occurred.Results:The tier-1 clinical pathogen surveillance system showed Flu-A predominated in December, Flu-B predominated in January, SARS-CoV-2 peaked in March and August, whereas RSV circulated sporadically throughout the year. Geographic trends were broadly consistent across the seven major regions, although Flu-A detection in December was notably higher in Northeast China (48.1%(111/231)) and East China (36.2%(148/409)), and RSV detection was concentrated in the Northwest and South China from January to March. Data from the tier-2 clinical pathogen surveillance system indicated that Streptococcus pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, rhinovirus, and adenovirus were detected year-round, of these, Streptococcus pneumoniae and rhinovirus showed elevated positive detection rates from August to September, while adenovirus peaked in January. Legionella pneumophila was not detected throughout the year, and other pathogens fluctuated throughout the year without a consistent pattern. The predominant etiologic agents of pediatric pneumonia were Mycoplasma pneumoniae (35.0%(105/300)), rhinovirus (25.7%(77/300)), and adenovirus (17.3%(52/300)), whereas adult pneumonia was mainly caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae (10.5%(29/277)), Staphylococcus aureus (6.9%(19/277)), Mycoplasma pneumoniae (6.9%(19/277)), and Flu-A (6.1%(17/277)). The tier-3 clinical pathogen surveillance system did not identify any emerging respiratory pathogens. Conclusion:Respiratory pathogens in China in 2024 exhibit distinct temporal and spatial distribution patterns and vary among different populations.

Objective:To systematically synthesize the real experiences of cancer patients undergoing prehabilitation and provide a reference for the development of targeted prehabilitation programs.Methods:A systematic search was conducted in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP, China Biology Medicine disc, Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library databases for qualitative studies on the prehabilitation experiences of cancer patients. The quality of the included studies was appraised, and the findings were integrated using a Meta-aggregative approach. The search covered publications up to June 30, 2024.Results:A total of 17 studies were included, yielding 76 themes. These were synthesized into 12 categories and further integrated into four integration results: heavy physical and psychological burden with low adherence to programs; positive cognition supported by multiple factors leads to high adherence under appropriate interventions; unmet practical needs require urgent attention; physical and psychological benefits are sustained and influential.Conclusions:Multiple factors affect patients' adherence to prehabilitation, and unmet needs are common. Future research should aim to identify barriers and meet patients' needs.
