OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical effect of Jin's three-needle therapy combined with game therapy on children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). METHODS: Sixty children with ASD were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, with 30 cases in each. The children in the observation group received Jin's three-needle therapy combined with game therapy. The acupoints used in Jin's three-needle therapy included Zhisanzhen, Niesanzhen, Sishenzhen and Naosanzhen, and matches acupoints with syndromes. The acupoints included Shenting (GV24), Naohu (GV17) and bilateral Benshen (GB13), Naokong (GB19), Xinshu (BL15), Zusanli (ST36), etc. The needles were retained for 1 h for scalp acupuncture and not retained for body acupuncture. Game therapy included social interaction, music and dance, language stimulation, etc. The children in the control group were treated with the same game therapy in the observation group. Treatments were administered once daily, five times a week, with a three-month course considered as one treatment cycle, and a total of two cycles were provided. The scores of childhood autism rating scale (CARS), autism behavior scale (ABC) and 0-6-year-old Children's neuropsychological development assessment scale (children's psychological scale) were compared between the two groups before treatment and after 3 and 6 months of treatment. RESULTS: After 3 and 6 months of treatment, the CARS and ABC scores of both groups were lower than those before treatment (P<0.01). After 6 months of treatment, the CARS and ABC scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). After 3 and 6 months of treatment, the scores of gross motor, fine motor, adaptive ability, language, and social behaviors in both groups were higher than those before treatment (P<0.01). After 3 months of treatment, the observation group showed a greater improvement in gross motor, fine motor, adaptive ability, and social behaviors compared to the control group (P<0.05). After 6 months of treatment, the observation group showed a greater improvement in gross motor, fine motor, adaptive ability, language, and social behaviors compared to the control group (P<0.01, P<0.05). CONCLUSION Jin's three-needle therapy combined with game therapy is an effective method for the treatment of ASD, which shows more obvious advantages than simple game therapy in promoting the improvement of children's ability and reducing related behavior.

Objective:To measure and compare the difference of personal attenuation rating (PAR) of the workers wearing foam earplugs before and after the training, and to evaluate the effect of ear protector wearing training on the noise protection.Methods:In February 2023, 94 workers exposed to noise in a machinery manufacturing factory were selected as subjects. The production noise in the workplace was measured and subjects were trained to wear earplugs. The PAR values of wearing 3M 1110 foam test earplugs were measured and recorded before and after the training by using the fit testing of hearing protection device. The differences between the actual PAR values with nominal values and the noise attenuation values in related standards were compared, and the protective effect of hearing protection device before and after training was evaluated.Results:The average age of the subjects was (36.76±11.48) years old, the average length of service was (16.34±11.64) years, and the average exposure time to noise was (15.67±11.64) years. The noise detection results of the subjects' posts were ranged from 80.1 to 94.3 dB (A). The results of subjects wore 3M 1110 foam test earplugs for fit testing showed that the binaural PAR value after training was (19.3±6.4) dB (A), which was significantly higher than that before training (11.1±7.4) dB (A) ( t=13.31, P<0.001). After training, 11 people (11.70%) could reach the corrected noise reduction value (NRR value), 26 people (27.66%) could reach the standard of single noise reduction value (SNR value) ×0.6, and 84 people (89.36%) could reach the standard of (NRR-7) /2. The under protection rate of hearing protectors after training (7.45%) was significantly lower than that before training (45.74%), and the difference of different protection levels before and after training was statistically significant (χ 2=40.83, P<0.001) . Conclusion:It is suggested that enterprises should use the fit testing instead of nominal value estimation to evaluate the noise reduction effect of hearing protection device. Special training on the selection and use of hearing protection device should be strengthened, so as to ensure that workers wear them correctly and improve the protective effect of hearing protection device.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between red cell volume distribution width (RDW) variation coefficient and mortality in patients with liver cirrhosis complicated with sepsis.Methods:From 2008 to 2019, the real clinical data of patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Massachusetts Institute of Technology were selected from the American Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-Ⅳ (MIMIC-Ⅳ) database. Structured Query Language was used to extract the demographic information, physiological indicators, laboratory test indicators, complications, in-hospital mortality, and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score from the MIMIC-Ⅳ database. Analysis of variance and Kruskal-Wallis test were used to analyze the characteristics of patients in different quartiles of RDW variation coefficient and the correlation between RDW variation coefficient and different outcomes. The clinical and prognostic variables were included in the logistic regression model and its adjustment models for analysis. Model 1 was adjusted according to age and gender, and model 2 was adjusted according to age, gender, SOFA score, bilirubin, albumin, body weight, white blood cell count, serum creatinine, serum sodium, dialysis treatment, and with congestive heart failure or not. A cubic spline regression model was used to analyze the dose-response relationship between RDW variation coefficient and in-hospital mortality, ICU mortality, mild to moderate disorders of consciousness in patients with liver cirrhosis complicated with sepsis. Trend tests were performed to analyze the interaction between the RDW variation coefficient and the variables used for stratification.Results:A total of 1 443 patients with liver cirrhosis complicated with sepsis were included, with a median age of 59.0 (52.0, 67.0) years old. Among them, 954 (66.1%) were male and 489 (33.9%) were female. The RDW variation coefficient was 3.49±2.50. Totally 382 patients died during hospitalization, 246 patients died in ICU, and 259 patients with mild to moderate disorders of consciousness. When RDW variation coefficient was analyzed as a continuous variable, the OR values (95% confidence interval (95% CI)) of unadjusted model, model 1, and model 2 in in-hospital mortality, ICU mortality and mild to moderate disorders of consciousness were 1.12 (1.09 to 1.16), 1.14 (1.10 to 1.17), 1.08 (1.03 to 1.13); 1.11 (1.07 to 1.15), 1.12 (1.08 to 1.16), 1.07 (1.02 to 1.12); and 1.16 (1.12 to 1.20), 1.16 (1.12 to 1.20), 1.12 (1.07 to 1.17); respectively. The fourth quartile of RDW variation coefficient (>4.74, 29.08) was taken as the control group, the OR values (95% CI) of the unadjusted model, model 1, and model 2 were 3.00 (2.13 to 4.25), 3.32 (2.34 to 4.74), 1.76 (1.10 to 2.84); 3.42 (2.27 to 5.26), 3.81 (2.50 to 5.90), 1.77 (1.03 to 3.11); and 8.52 (5.23 to 14.63), 8.35 (5.10 to 14.38), 5.56 (2.87 to 11.69); respectively. There was a linear correlation between RDW variation coefficient and in-hospital mortality, ICU mortality, mild and moderate disorders of consciousness (all P<0.05). Among patients with higher SOFA scores, along with the increase of RDW variation coefficient, the increase of in-hospital mortality, ICU mortality and the incidence of mild and moderate disorders of consciousness, were more significant than those of patients with lower SOFA scores ( P=0.022, 0.024, and 0.001). Conclusion:Variation coefficient of RDW is associated with increased risk of disorders of consciousness and in-hospital mortality in patients with liver cirrhosis complicated with sepsis.

Objective:To explore the economic applicability and safetyof the novel uterovaginal pubic comb suspension(UPCS)surgery with Mersilene tape in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse(POP).Methods:A ret-rospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of patients who underwent UPCS surgery due to POP from January 1st,2021 to February 28,2023.They were divided to the UPCS surgery with Mersilene tape group(group A)and suspension surgery with Y-shaped mesh group(group B)respectively.The POP-Q indication points,sus-pension surgery duration,intraoperative bleeding volume,material expense,postoperative catheter retention time,anal exhaust time and hospitalization duration were recorded for both groupbefore and after surgery.Evaluate the severity of POP related symptoms in patients before and after surgery using the pelvic Floor Distress Invento-ry-short Form 20(PFDI-20)and Pelvic Organ Prolapsed/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire-12(PISQ-12),and follow up and observe the patients and analyze the complications.Results:A total of 17 POP patients were included in the study.There were 12 patients in group A while 5 patients in group B.The suspension material expense of group A was considerably lower than that of group B(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference between the two groups in preoperative PFDI-20 score,preoperative PISQ-12 score,UPCS surgery duration,intr-aoperative bleeding volume,postoperative urinary catheter retention time,postoperative anal exhaust time and hospitalization duration.All patients showed stable vital signs during the surgery and no severe complications were reported.Compared with the preoperative status,the positions of the Aa,Ba,and C indicatorpoint in group A and group B were all increased significantly(P＜0.05).The PFDl-20 and PISQ-12 scores of the two groups at the last follow-up after surgery showed significant improvement compared to those before surgery(P＜0.05).No signifi-cant difference was found in the PFDI-20 and PISQ-12 scores between the two groups after surgery(P＞0.05).There were no significant differences in the postoperative complications between the two groups(P＞0.05).Con-clusions:Compared with suspension surgery with Y-shaped mesh,UPCS surgery with Mersilene tape is safe and effective in the treatment of POP.The UPCS surgery with Mersilene tape showed better cost-effectiveness in the treatment of POP,and the surgical steps are relatively simple.Therefore,UPCS surgery with Mersilene tape was worthy of promotion in clinical practice.

For the purpose of seeking new antibiotics, researchers usually modify the already-existing ones. However, this strategy has been extensively used and is close to its limits, especially in the case of aminoglycosides, and it is difficult to find a proper aminoglycoside antibiotic for novel modification. In this paper, we reported the design, synthesis, and evaluation of a series of 5-epi-neamine derivatives based on the structural information of bacterial 16S RNA A-site binding with aminoglycosides. Bioassay results showed that our design strategy was feasible. Our study offers a new way to search for structurally novel aminoglycosides. Meanwhile, our study provides valuable structure-activity relationship information, which will lead to better understanding and exploitation of the drug target, and improved development of new aminoglycoside antibiotics.

Objective: To understand and analyze the level and trend of lung function of children and adolescents in Yinchuan, Ningxia from 2010 to 2019, and to explore the influencing factors of vital capacity. Methods: Children and adolescents aged 7-13 years were randomly selected from Xingqing District, Jinfeng District and Xixia District of Yinchuan. Based on the data of vital capacity from three surveys in 2010, 2014 and 2019, the trends of changes across residence, ages and sex in 2010-2019 were analyzed, and the influencing factors were explored. Results: From 2010 to 2019, the vital capacity of children and adolescents aged 7- 13 years in urban and rural Yinchuan showed an upward trend( F=194.48, 382.47, P <0.01), with an increasing amount of 410.89 and 554.46 mL, respectively. In 2014, the vital capacity of urban students was higher than that of rural students, but it was lower than rural students in 2019. After stratified by age and sex, its trend was consistent with that of urban and rural areas, but students in all age groups in urban areas declined in 2014-2019. Height, weight, 50 m running, the phenomenon of "crowding out" or "Not attending" physical education and health class in school, the feeling of taking physical education and health class when exercising, the average time spent on exercises between classes every day, whether using pedometer, wearable equipment or exercise APP, travel time to school every day, the recognition on sports, were associated with vital capacity in children and adolescents ( β=-185.70, -54.94, P <0.05). Conclusion In recent years, the vital capacity of 7-13 year old children and adolescents in Yinchuan has shown an increasing trend. Physical fitness indicators and physical activity are influencing factors of lung capacity in children and adolescents. In the future, health management for students should be strengthened and students awareness of physical exercise should be improved.

This study was to investigate the protective effects of Jinqi Jiangtang tablets on diabetic complications of cardiovascular disease in Drosophila. The effects of Jinqi Jiangtang tablets on hypolipidemia and hypoglycemia by high fat diet(HFD)induced model organism Drosophila with the content of triglyceride and trehalose in Drosophila as indexes, were investigated. And the Drosophila heart function was detected by high speed EM-CCD; cell signaling pathways were detected by Western blot and RT-PCR. The results showed that high fat diet could induce the appearance of hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia on Drosophila model. Jinqi Jiangtang tablets could significantly reduce triglyceride and trehalose and protect heart function of Drosophila induced by high fat diet. Jinqi Jiangtang tablets could also increase the expression of 4ebp mRNA, while decreasing p-4EBP protein and pepck mRNA expression. This study demonstrated that Jinqi Jiangtang tablets have a protective effect on HFD-induced dyslipidemic-diabetic and cardiac dysfunction, which may be related to mTOR/4EBP pathway.
