Background::Previous studies have reported associations of specific maternal and paternal lifestyle factors with offspring’s cognitive development during early childhood. This study aimed to investigate the prospective associations between overall parental lifestyle and offspring’s cognitive performance during adolescence and young adulthood in China.Methods::We included 2531 adolescents aged 10-15 years at baseline in 2010 from the China Family Panel Studies. A healthy parental lifestyle score (ranged 0-5) was constructed based on the following five modifiable lifestyle factors: Smoking, drinking, exercise, sleep, and diet. Generalized estimating equation models were used to examine the association between baseline parental healthy lifestyle scores and offspring’s fluid and crystallized intelligence in subsequent years (2012, 2014, 2016, and 2018).Results::Offspring in the top tertile of parental healthy lifestyle scores performed better in overall fluid intelligence (multivariable-adjusted β = 0.53, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.29-0.77) and overall crystallized intelligence (multivariable-adjusted β = 0.35, 95% CI: 0.16-0.54) than those in the bottom tertile of parental healthy lifestyle scores. The results were similar after further adjustment for the offspring’s healthy lifestyle scores and persisted across the subgroups of parental socioeconomic status. Additionally, maternal and paternal healthy lifestyle scores were independently associated with better offspring’s cognitive performance, with significant contribution observed for paternal never-smoking, weekly exercise, and diversified diet. When both parents and offspring adhered to a healthier lifestyle, we observed the highest level of the offspring’s overall crystallized intelligence. Conclusions::Our study indicates that parental adherence to a healthier lifestyle is associated with significantly better offspring’s cognitive performance during adolescence and early adulthood, regardless of socioeconomic status. These findings highlight the potential cognitive benefits of promoting healthy lifestyles among parents of adolescents.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of pre-infusion of hypertonic saline on the postoperative cognitive function in elderly patients.Methods:This was a prospective study. Seventy-six patients of both sexes, aged≥60 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱ or Ⅲ, who underwent elective shoulder arthroscopic surgery under brachial plexus block combined with general anesthesia from June 2022 to January 2023 in our hospital, were selected and divided into 2 groups ( n=38 each) by the random number table method: hypertonic saline group and normal saline group. At 30 min before anesthesia induction, 3% hypertonic saline of 4 ml/kg was intravenously infused in hypertonic saline group, and normal saline 4 ml/kg was intravenously infused in normal saline group. The occurrence of intraoperative cerebral desaturation events was recorded. Venous blood samples were collected at 24 h postoperatively, and the plasma concentrations of interleukin-1beta (IL-1β), IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and S-100β were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the expression of neutrophil CD11b was detected by flow cytometry. Rey auditory verbal learning test, trail making test, digit symbol substitution test, and stroop color-word test were performed at 1 day before surgery and 5 days after surgery, and the postoperative cognitive dysfunction was assessed using the Z-score method. Results:Compared with normal saline group, the concentrations of plasma IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and S-100β and expression of neutrophil CD11b were significantly decreased in hypertonic saline group, and the incidence of cognitive dysfunction and cerebral desaturation events was decreased in hypertonic saline group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Pre-infusion of hypertonic saline can reduce inflammatory responses and improve postoperative cognitive function in elderly patients.

Restricted repetitive behaviors (RRBs) are the most characteristic behaviors of autism spectrum disorder. The clinical diagnosis and treatment of RRBs are extremely difficult resulting from its complex and variable etiology, highly heterogeneous clinical manifestations influenced by multiple factors (sleep quality, gastrointestinal health, age and gender), lack of precise diagnostic criteria and low effectiveness of current clinical interventions. This article mainly reviews the recent related studies on RRBs and discusses the challenges and progress in clinical diagnosis and treatment of RRBs so as to provide new ideas for future clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To construct a representative index system for evaluating pediatric orthopedic nursing quality, providing a basis for hospital pediatric orthopedic nursing quality assessment and monitoring.Methods:From April to July 2023, using the "structure-process-outcome" three-dimensional quality structure model as the theoretical framework, a literature review was conducted, and an item pool was formulated. Through two rounds of Delphi method expert consultations, the hierarchical analysis method was finally employed to determine the indicators and their weights at each level.Results:The effective recovery rates of the questionnaire of the two rounds of expert consultations were 100% (20/20), the authority coefficients of experts were 0.87 and 0.88, the coefficients of variation were 0.00 to 0.27 and 0.00 to 0.24. The Kendell harmony coefficients of the second and third indicators in the two rounds of inquiry were 0.140, 0.166 and 0.192, 0.161(all P<0.05). The final pediatric orthopedic nursing quality evaluation index system included 3 primary indicators, 21 secondary indicators and 83 tertiary indicators. Among the primary indicators, the weight of process quality was the highest at 0.493 4, followed by outcome quality at 0.310 8, and the lowest was structural quality at 0.195 8. In the secondary indicators, "assessment criteria of limb blood circulation" had the highest weight at 0.099 8. Conclusions:The constructed pediatric orthopedic nursing quality evaluation index system covers key aspects and is more operationally feasible. It provides better guidance for nursing interventions and quality control.

BACKGROUND:Our previous studies found that the polypeptide of Cornus cervi Colla can promote bone growth,which has a good application prospect in the treatment of bone diseases.However,how Cornus cervi Colla works in the body and the principle are not clear. OBJECTIVE:To study the in vivo distribution and tracing of Cornus cervi Colla using fluorescence labeling and tracer technique. METHODS:Cornus cervi Colla was fluorescently labeled using fluorescein isothiocyanate,and the labeling results were detected by fluorescence imaging and UV spectral scanning.Successfully labeled Cornus cervi Colla was injected into mice by gavage,and the absorption of Cornus cervi Colla into blood was detected by laser confocal microscopy,and the distribution of Cornus cervi Colla in mice was detected by small animal in vivo imager.The distribution of Cornus cervi Colla in the mice was detected by laser confocal microscopy.Samples were taken from serum and bone at the time of the strongest fluorescence,and gel electrophoresis was carried out on serum and bone tissue protein solutions,and the components of Cornus cervi Colla absorbed into target organs were determined by secondary mass spectrometry. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The fluorescent markers were successfully separated by dextran gel chromatography,and the fluorescence imaging and ultraviolet spectrum scanning proved that the labeling was successful,and the fluorescence substitution degree of FITC-labeled Cornus cervi Colla was 0.953%.The fluorescence intensity of the components of Cornus cervi Colla in the blood showed that Cornus cervi Colla was most distributed in serum after oral administration for 2 hours.The fluorescence images of mice at different times were the same as those of bilateral femur and tibia,indicating that Cornus cervi Colla could play a role by entering the bone.Compared with UniProt database,secondary mass spectrometry showed that the peptide was a characteristic fragment of decorin.It is proved that decorin in Cornus cervi Colla can enter the bone to play a therapeutic role.

BACKGROUND:Osteonecrosis of the femoral head is a common and disabling disease,which is mainly characterized by microcirculation disorders and bone cell metabolism disorders.Luzhongjiangu decoction was developed by Shandong Academy of Chinese Medicine and used in the form of soup in the clinic,which has good efficacy in the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head.However,its mechanism of action has not been clarified. OBJECTIVE:To study the effect mechanism of Luzhongjiangu decoction on intestinal flora in rats with osteonecrosis of the femoral head based on 16S rDNA sequencing technique. METHODS:The model of osteonecrosis of the femoral head was established in Wistar rats by intragastric administration of retinoic acid.The therapeutic effect of Luzhongjiangu decoction was evaluated by serum hormone,bone histopathology and serum hormone levels.16s rDNA sequencing technique was used to detect the intestinal flora of rats in the blank control group,model group and middle-dose Luzhongjiangu decoction group.The corresponding library was constructed and OTU clustering and microbial community diversity and abundance analysis were carried out to determine the composition of intestinal flora and the changes of species and diversity among groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Luzhongjiangu decoction could significantly increase the expression of osteocalcin,osteopontin and other osteogenic related factors,alleviate the destruction of bone trabeculae,increase bone mineral density,and had a significant therapeutic effect on osteonecrosis of the femoral head,of which the middle dose group showed the most significant effect.The results of intestinal flora sequencing showed that Luzhongjiangu decoction improved the flora disorder of rats with osteonecrosis of the femoral head to some extent,and screened out different colonies such as Bacillus,Desulfurizans,Desulfurization,Isobacteria,Bifidobacterium and so on;it could up-regulate the abundance of beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacterium,down-regulate the abundance of harmful bacteria such as Desulfovibrio,and improve the structure of intestinal flora.Functional prediction analysis indicated that Luzhongjiangu decoction could mainly affect amino acid metabolism and energy metabolism.Correlation analysis showed that the differential bacteria of Bifidobacterium and Intestinimonas in the middle dose group of Luzhongjiangu decoction were positively correlated with vitamin D3,estradiol and calcitonin,and negatively correlated with prostaglandin E2.In the model group,Escherichia-Shigella,Desulfovibrio,Globicatella and Streptococcus were positively correlated with prostaglandin E2 and negatively correlated with vitamin D3,estradiol and calcitonin.To conclude,Luzhongjiangu decoction may play a role in the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head by regulating the structure of intestinal flora,up-regulating the abundance of beneficial bacteria and affecting the secretion of vitamin D3,estradiol,calcitonin and prostaglandin E2.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum miR-505,miR-15 and endoscopic activity of ulcerative colitis(UC).Methods 98 patients with UC from May 2020 to May 2022 were selected as the observation group,and 80 patients with irritable bowel syndrome(IBS)were selected as the control group during the same period.The modified Mayo score was used to evaluate the endoscopic activity in patients with UC,and the relationship among the changes of serum miR-505 and miR-15 levels and the endoscopic activity in patients with UC was analyzed.Results The level of serum miR-505 in observation group was lower than that in control group,while the level of miR-15 in observation group was higher than that in control group(P<0.05).The level of serum miR-505 in patients with active UC was lower than that in patients with the healing stage,while the level of serum miR-15 in patients with active UC was higher than that in patients with healing stage(P<0.05).The serum miR-505 level of E3 type was lower than that of E2 type and E1 type,and the serum miR-15 level of E3 type was higher than that of E2 type and E1 type(P<0.05).The Mayo score of type E3 was higher than that of type E2 and E1(P<0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum miR-505 was negatively correlated with Mayo score(r =-0.51,P<0.05),while serum miR-15 was positively correlated with Mayo score(r = 0.54,P<0.05).Receiver operator characteristic curve(ROC curve)results showed that the cut-off value of miR-505 was 0.93,and the area under the curve(AUC)for evaluating the endoscopic activity of patients with UC was 0.67(95%CI:0.659～0.785),and the sensitivity and specificity were 73.24%and 68.55%,respectively.The cut-off value of miR-15 was 0.85,and the AUC for evaluating the endoscopic activity of patients with UC was 0.69(95%CI:0.672～0.814),and the sensitivity and specificity were 76.38%and 69.72%,respectively.The AUC for the joint evaluation of UC by both was 0.82(95%CI:0.809～0.912),and the sensitivity and specificity were 84.56%and 68.49%,respectively.Conclusion Serum miR-505 levels decrease and serum miR-15 levels increase in UC patients than IBS,and the level is closely related to patients'pathological conditions and endoscopic activity.Combined detection of serum miR-505 and miR-15 has a good value in evaluating endoscopic activity in UC patients.

Objective To construct a nomogram model for predicting the risk of in-hospital death in CHF patients by using noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring combined with age,DBP,CRP and renal insufficiency(serum creatinine≥ 442 μmol/L).Methods A total of 223 elderly patients with acute onset of CHF admitted in First,Second Medical Centre of Chinese PLA General Hos-pital from September 2022 to March 2023 were recruited in this study.According to their clinical outcomes,they were divided into survival group(196 cases)and death group(27 cases).Based on the in-hospital death and other related indicators,a nomogram model was constructed to predict the risk factors of in-hospital death in CHF.Results Noninvasive hemodynamic mornitoring indi-cated that the death group had significantly higher LVEF and LCWI values but lower LVEDV value than the survival group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age(OR=1.131,95％CI:1.052-1.213,P=0.001),DBP(OR=0.932,95％CI:0.882-0.982,P=0.011),CRP(OR=1.171,95％CI:1.021-1.352,P=0.024),LVEDV(OR=0.984,95％CI:0.962-0.992,P=0.011)and renal insufficiency(OR=5.863,95％CI:1.351-1.731,P=0.004)were independent risk factors for the short-term prognosis of the elderly CHF patients.The AUC value of the nomogram model was 0.902(95％CI:0.819-0.948,P＜0.05),and calibration curve analysis showed the C-index was 0.902,indicating accurate predictive perform-ance.Conclusion Age,DBP,LVEDV,CRP and renal insufficiency are independent risk factors for the short-term prognosis of the elderly CHF patients.
