Objective: To analyze the characteristics of pediatric pesticide poisoning cases admitted to a children s hospital in Jiangxi Province, so as to provide references for the prevention and treatment of pediatric pesticide poisoning. Methods: Medical records of 349 pesticide poisoning hospitalized cases from 2009 to 2023 in a children s hospital in Jiangxi Province were retrospectively reviewed to summarized clinical features, categories of pesticides involved, therapeutic interventions, and prognostic outcomes. Results: Among the cases of pesticide poisoning in children, there were 217 boys and 132 girls with an average age of 4 years and 8 months; 35.82% of cases occurred during April-June, followed by 27.22% during July-September, during October-December accounting for 22.35%, with 14.61% during January-March. There were 75 (21.49%), 148 (42.41%), 126 cases ( 36.10% ) during 2009-2013, 2014-2018, 2019-2023. In terms of pesticide type, insecticides ranked first (166 cases, 47.56% ), followed by herbicides (116 cases, 33.24%) and rodenticides (58 cases, 16.62%). The average hospitalization time was 4 days, and a total of 73 cases (20.92%) required admission to the intensive care unit among pesticide poisoning cases. There were 11 deaths, including 6 cases who were associated with paraguat esposure of paraquat. Self poisoning accounted for 34 cases, with an average age of 12 years and 2 months; 50.00% (17 cases) were concentrated in 2022-2023, accounting for 64.71% (22 cases) in girls; 8 cases of self poisoning resulted in death, accounting for 72.73% of the total number of deaths. Conclusions The period of April to June repesents the peak time for pediatric pesticide poisoning cases, and the proportion of accidental ingestion is relatively high. It is necessary to strictly prevent child poisoning.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical characteristics of euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis （euDKA） induced by empagliflozin， and provide references for safe medication. METHODS Case reports of euDKA induced by empagliflozin were retrieved and analyzed from PubMed， Web of Science， CNKI， and Wanfang Data. The Naranjo’s scale was adopted to assess the causal relationship between empagliflozin and euDKA. RESULTS A total of 29 patients were enrolled， including 16 males and 13 females，with a median age of 58 years. All patients were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus； 22 patients had at least one comorbidity. The median time to euDKA onset was 60 days after administration， and 7 cases occurred within 2 weeks of treatment. Perioperative periods，fasting，and low-carbohydrate or ketogenic diets were the main predisposing factors. Common presentations included nausea，vomiting， fatigue， tachypnea，and tachycardia. The causal relationship between empagliflozin and euDKA was assessed as “probable” in all cases. According to adverse reaction severity grading， 13 cases were grade 3 （severe） and 16 cases were grade 4 （life-threatening）. All patients discontinued empagliflozin and recovered after corresponding treatment. CONCLUSIONS euDKA is a serious adverse reaction to empagliflozin， which mostly occurs early in treatment. Perioperative periods， fasting， and ketogenic diets are prone to induce euDKA. Elderly patients and those with comorbidities are at higher risk. Risk assessment should be conducted before clinical administration； blood ketones and acid-base monitoring should be strengthened in the early medication period； withhold the drug before elective surgery， avoid prolonged fasting；upon diagnosis， discontinue empagliflozin and initiate intravenous insulin， provide fluid resuscitation promptly， and use other treatments to improve patient prognosis.

Objective To explore the impact of suture configuration and fixation type on the biome-chanical strength of rotator cuff repair,using a factorial design study.Methods Sixteen fresh-frozen porcine shoulder samples were randomized into an anchorless double-row suture bridge transosseous su-tures(DS)group,an anchored double-row suture bridge transosseous-equivalent(DE)group,an an-chorless X-BOX construct transosseous sutures(XS)group,and an anchored X-BOX construct transos-seous-equivalent(XE)group,each of four,according to suture configuration(double-row suture bridge,traditional X-BOX construct)and fixation type(suture anchors,transosseous sutures).Then,their fatigue resistance(first-cycle excursion,gap length difference ratio,and the percentage of ex-posed footprints)and the failure strength(the maximum failure load and the re-tear type)were mea-sured using a biomechanical material testing machine.Results Different suture configurations affected failure strength(F=39.559,P<0.001),with the double-row suture bridge groups(693.07±58.35 N,746.76±138.57 N)showing significantly higher failure strength,compared to the traditional X-BOX groups(462.90±18.91 N,421.43±90.76 N).However,the fixation type did not significantly im-pact failure strength(F=1.161,P=0.302).Moreover,the suture configuration influenced the gap differ-ence ratio(F=7.781,P=0.016),but had no significant correlation with other fatigue resistance indica-tors(P>0.05).Meanwhile,failure strength and fatigue resistance were not correlated with fixation type,and the interaction between suture and fixation type(P>0.05).The incidence of failure types for the four suture configurations was as follows:Type I tendon tear:XS>XE>DS=DE;type II tendon tear:DS>XE>XS=DE;fixing material-related failure:DE>DS=XE=XS.Conclusion The failure strength and gap formation ratio in rotator cuff repair under fatigue loading are influenced by suture configuration,whereas no significant association has been observed with respect to fixation method,whether using transosseous sutures or suture anchors.

Objective To explore the effects of preoperative transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE)on early postoperative recurrence in the China liver cancer(CNLC)staging Ⅰb-Ⅱa patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods The data of patients with CNLC Ⅰb-Ⅱa stage hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent curative liver resection in Xiangyang Central Hospital from May 2017 to May 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.A total of 76 patients were included,patients were divided into preoperative TACE group(n=32)and surgery group(n=44)according to whether they underwent preoperative TACE.Observe the postoperative recovery of patients.Combined with the postoperative pathological results,adjuvant TACE treatment is performed.Regular reexamination and follow-up are conducted after discharge.The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate survival time,calculate 95％CI,and plot the Disease-free(DFS)survival curve.The Cox proportional risk model was used for univariate and multivariate analysis.Results The 1-year disease-free survival rate in the preoperative TACE group was higher than that in the direct surgery group(96.9％vs.84.1％,P＞0.05).The 2-year disease-free survival rate in the preoperative TACE group was higher than that in the direct surgery group(90.6％vs.70.5％,P＜0.05).The disease-free survival of the preoperative TACE group was higher than the direct surgery group(23.03 months vs.20.14 months,P＜0.05).The incidence of treatment-related adverse events after surgery in the preoperative TACE group was higher than that in the direct surgery group(34.4％vs.20.5％,P＞0.05).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that different treatment methods,tumor number ≥ 2,and tumor microvascular invasion were prognostic factors affecting tumor recurrence.No severe adverse reactions occurred in either group,and no deaths caused by adverse reactions were observed.Conclusion Compared with direct surgery,preoperative TACE can help improve early postoperative recurrence,prolong patients'disease-free survival,and do not lead to serious adverse events.

The ancient Chinese people have accumulated rich experience in the process of struggling against epidemics over thou-sands of years,and established an effective theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)for treating epidemics,which has been applied up to now.The application of aromatic traditional Chinese medicine occupies an important position in the theoretical sys-tem of TCM for treating epidemics and the history of epidemic prevention and control.Aromatic prevention of epidemics has a profound theoretical foundation in TCM and is supported by abundant evidence from modern scientific research.It has unique advantages such as comprehensive overall regulation,participation in the whole process,action through multiple pathways,and good safety.In clinical practice,it demonstrates characteristics such as integrity,comprehensiveness,flexibility,and phase-related properties.Both its theory and prevention and treatment experience have high practical value.This article reviews the theoretical connotation,mechanism of ac-tion,and clinical application advantages of aromatic traditional Chinese medicine in preventing and treating epidemics,analyzes the challenges faced,and proposes future prospects,in order to improve the relevant theories of traditional Chinese medicine on epidemics and enhance the level of epidemic prevention and control.

Objective To evaluate the effect of Kaixin San(KXS)combined with fluoxetine on hippocampal neural stem cells in mice with chronic stress stress and depression.Methods A mouse model of depression was constructed using the method of chronic unpredictable stress stress,and the highest dose of KXS water extract and fluoxetine for clinical application was given for 28 days,and behavioral tests were carried out.Nissl staining was used to detect the pathological status of hippocampal tissues in mice.The expression of TUNEL and Nestin in mouse hippocampus was determined by immunofluorescence.Western blotting was used to detect the expressions of apoptotic proteins cleaved caspase-3 and caspase-3,pyroptosis proteins GSDMD and cleaved caspase-1,as well as the expression of neural stem cell marker Nestin in the hippocampus,and the expression of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway-related proteins in the hippocampus.Results The combination of KXS extract and fluoxetine can significantly improve the depression-like behavior of model mice,and the effect is better than fluoxetine alone.The combination inhibited the activation of apoptosis and pyroptosis signaling pathways in the hippocampus when used alone with high-dose fluoxetine,significantly upregulated the expression of Nestin,and regulated the expression of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway protein.Conclusion The combination of KXS and high-dose fluoxetine can improve apoptosis and pyroptosis in the hippocampus of stress stress and depression model mice,and upregulate the expression of neural stem cell marker Nestin by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway,which may be a key link to improve the antidepressant effect of the combination drug.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of wrapping the hepatic artery with the hepatogastric ligament for preventing bleeding of the hepatic artery and its branches following pancreaticoduodenectomy(PD).Methods 194 patients who underwent PD in Xiangyang Central Hospital from January 2017 to November 2024 were enrolled and categorized into two groups based on whether the hepatic artery was enwrapped with the hepatogastric ligament during the operation.The wrapped group consisted of 95 cases where the hepatic artery was wrapped,while the non-wrapped group had 99 cases without such wrapping.Intraoperative parameters(intraoperative blood loss and operative time)and postoperative complications(pancreatic fistula,abdominal cavity infection,biliary fistula,delayed gastric emptying,postoperative bleeding,and bleeding of the hepatic artery and its branches)were compared between the two cohorts.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the independent risk factors for postoperative bleeding.Results PD was accomplished successfully in both groups.There was no remarkable difference in intraoperative indices like blood loss and operative time between the two groups(P＞0.05).Similarly,no significant disparities were noted in postoperative complications such as pancreatic fistula,abdominal infection,biliary fistula,and delayed gastric emptying(P＞0.05).Nevertheless,the incidence of postoperative bleeding in the wrapped group was lower than that in the non-wrapped group(3.16％vs.12.12％,P=0.019),and the incidence of bleeding of the hepatic artery and its branches after surgery was also significantly decreased in the wrapped group(0 vs.10.10％,P=0.004).Logistic regression analysis revealed that the operation time(OR=1.013,P=0.011),pancreatic fistula(OR=9.006,P=0.006)and celiac infection(OR=7.930,P=0.014)are independent risk factors of postoperative bleeding,Hepatogastric ligament encapsulation of hepatic artery was an independent protective factor for postoperative hemorrhage of PD(OR=0.084,P=0.006).Conclusion Wrapping the hepatic artery with the hepatogastric ligament reduces PD postoperative bleeding,especially that of the hepatic artery and its branches,without adding other complications.

Objective:To analyze the effects of parental adverse childhood experiences on their offspring's prosocial behaviors,as well as to examine the moderating role of parental positive childhood experiences.Methods:A total of 3 090 parents of preschool children were selected to participate in this study.The Adverse Childhood Ex-periences International Questionnaire(ACE-IQ)and Benevolent Childhood Experiences Scale(BCEs)were used to examine parental adverse childhood experiences(i.e.,abuse,neglect,and dysfunctional households,etc)and posi-tive childhood experiences(i.e.,internal and external perceived safety,support,and positive personality traits,etc),Children Strength and Difficulties Question(SDQ)were performed to test offspring prosocial behaviors.Results:Parents'ACE-IQ scores were negatively correlated with offspring SDQ scores(r=-0.15)and parents'BCEs scores moderated(β=0.19)the relationship between parental ACE-IQ scores and offspring SDQ scores(β=-0.12).Conclusion:The study suggests that parental adverse childhood experiences are negatively associated with offspring pro-social behavior.Additionally,it indicates that an increase in positive childhood experiences can en-hance the relationships of parents'adverse childhood experiences.

Objective:To explore the impact of female body mass index (BMI) on pregnancy outcomes in artificial insemination with donor sperm (AID).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 4 484 couples with 9 852 AID treatment cycles treated at Reproductive Center of Guangdong Institute of Reproductive Science from January 2011 to September 2024. Participants were divided into four groups based on BMI: low BMI group (BMI<18.5 kg/m 2), normal BMI group (18.5 kg/m 2≤BMI<24.0 kg/m 2), overweight group (24.0 kg/m 2≤BMI<28.0 kg/m 2), and obese group (BMI≥28.0 kg/m 2). General characteristics and pregnancy outcomes were compared across groups. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to calculate cumulative pregnancy rates from one to six cycles. Generalized estimating equations (GEE), univariate and multivariate logistic and Cox regression analysis were performed, adjusting for age, basal follicle-stimulating hormone, basal luteinizing hormone, endometrial thickness, clinical diagnosis, and treatment protocol, to explore correlations between female BMI and clinical pregnancy rate, spontaneous abortion rate, and cumulative pregnancy rate. Results:1) There were no statistically significant differences in clinical pregnancy rate and spontaneous abortion rate among the low BMI group, the normal BMI group, the overweight group, and the obesity group (all P>0.05). 2) Cumulative pregnancy rates for AID cycles 1-6 were 17.60%, 31.60%, 43.08%, 54.37%, 61.83% and 73.68%, respectively. 3) Multivariate GEE analysis revealed that female age ( OR=0.962, 95% CI: 0.950-0.974, P<0.001), endometrial thickness ( OR=1.040, 95% CI:1.011-1.069, P=0.006), and natural cycles ( OR=1.171, 95% CI: 1.060-1.294, P=0.002) influenced clinical pregnancy rates. Compared with the normal BMI group, there were no statistically significant differences in clinical pregnancy rates of low BMI group, overweight group, and obese group (all P>0.05). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that female age ( OR=1.051, 95% CI: 1.012-1.091, P=0.010), endometrial thickness ( OR=0.920 , 95% CI: 0.847-1.000, P=0.049) and polycystic ovary syndrome ( OR=1.927, 95% CI: 1.044-3.556, P=0.036) influenced spontaneous abortion rates. Compared with the normal BMI group, there were no statistically significant differences in spontaneous abortion rates of low BMI group, overweight group and obese group (all P>0.05). 4) Cox regression analysis indicated that female age ( HR=0.939, 95% CI: 0.928-0.950, P<0.001), endometrial thickness ( HR=1.039, 95% CI: 1.013-1.066, P=0.003) and natural cycles ( HR=1.957, 95% CI: 1.785-2.146, P<0.001) influenced cumulative pregnancy rates. Compared with the normal BMI group, there were no statistically significant differences in cumulative pregnancy rates of low BMI group, overweight group and obese group (all P>0.05). Conclusion:Female BMI does not significantly affect clinical pregnancy rates, spontaneous abortion rates and cumulative pregnancy rates in AID.
