ObjectiveTo investigate the antiviral efficacy of pegylated interferon α-2b （PEG-IFN-α-2b） in patients with HBV-related liver cirrhosis， to assess the safety and tolerability of this regimen， and to provide evidence-based medical evidence for optimizing the treatment strategies for patients with HBV-related compensated liver cirrhosis. MethodsA prospective study was conducted among 115 patients with HBV-related compensated liver cirrhosis and 114 patients with CHB who attended Third People’s Hospital of Taiyuan from January 2023 to March 2024. Treatment-naïve patients received PEG-IFN-α-2b monotherapy， while the patients once treated with nucleos（t）ide analogues （NAs） received PEG-IFN-α-2b add-on therapy. The patients with HBV-related compensated liver cirrhosis were followed up at baseline and at 12， 24， 36， and 48 weeks of treatment. Samples were collected from CHB patients at baseline and at the end of follow-up to assess virological indicators， routine blood test results， and liver function. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups； the independent samples t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups， and the one-way repeated measures analysis of variance was used for comparison among different time ponts within the same group，and the Bonferroni was applied for post-hoc pairwise comparisons； the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups， and the Friedman test was used for comparison across different time points within the same group， and the Nemenyi test was utilized for subsequent pairwise comparisons. The multivariate stepwise Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the influencing factors for clinical cure. ResultsCompared with the CHB group， the HBV-related compensated liver cirrhosis group had a significantly higher mean age （43.50±9.97 years vs 40.90±8.16 years， t=2.160， P=0.032）， a significantly higher proportion of patients with hepatitis B e antigen at baseline （28.70% vs 15.79%， χ²=4.788， P=0.029）， and a significantly lower platelet level ［（178.67±55.07）×10⁹/L vs （194.93±55.79）×10⁹/L， t=2.217， P=0.028］. Compared with the CHB group at the end of follow-up， the HBV-related compensated liver cirrhosis group had significantly lower HBV surface antigen （HBsAg） clearance rate （10.38% vs 33.04%， χ²=14.988， P<0.001） and HBV surface antibody positive rate （0.00% vs 19.64%， χ²=21.041， P<0.001）. Compared with the CHB group at the end of follow-up，the HBV-related compensated liver cirrhosis group had significantly lower aminotransferase levels ［ALT： 31.00（19.00～47.50） U/L vs 40.00（27.00～57.00） U/L， Z=2.433， P<0.05； AST： 31.00（23.00～45.50） U/L vs 37.00（25.00～52.00） U/L， Z=1.963， P<0.05］， but significantly higher level of white blood cells （WBC） ［（4.02±1.56）×10⁹/L vs （3.59±1.24）×10⁹/L， t=2.272， P<0.05］， neutrophils ［（2.39±1.17）×10⁹/L vs （1.87±0.94）×10⁹/L， t=3.284， P<0.05］， and platelets ［（143.93±68.10）×10⁹/L vs （121.88±49.72）×10⁹/L， t=2.588， P<0.05］. A lower level of HBsAg （OR=0.997， 95%CI： 0.996　—　0.999， P<0.001） and previous treatment with NAs （OR=5.889， 95%CI： 2.195　—　17.330， P<0.001） were positive predictive factors for clinical cure， while liver cirrhosis （OR=0.177， 95%CI： 0.063　—　0.470， P<0.001） was a negative predictive factor for clinical cure. During follow-up， no patients experienced acute decompensation or progression to hepatocellular carcinoma， and the main adverse events included fever， fatigue， reductions in WBC and platelets， weight loss， alopecia， and thyroid dysfunction. In the subgroup analysis of HBV-related compensated liver cirrhosis， in both the treatment-naïve patients and the patients previously treated with NAs， there was a significant reduction in HBsAg level from baseline to week 36 of treatment ［treatment-naïve： 99.25 （5.87　—　1 212.35） IU/mL vs 403.47 （36.94　—　2 569.02） IU/mL， P<0.05； previously treated with NAs： 205.94 （14.00　—　737.80） IU/mL vs 427.03 （65.64　—　1 552.65） IU/mL， P<0.05］ and week 48 of treatment ［treatment-naïve： 85.45 （0.58　—　827.56） IU/mL vs 403.47 （36.94　—　2 569.02） IU/mL， P<0.05； previously treated with NAs： 45.28 （0.16　—　267.27） IU/mL vs 427.03 （65.64　—　1 552.65） IU/mL， P<0.05］. There were significant increases in the levels of aminotransferases during treatment， as well as significant reductions in the levels of WBC， neutrophils， platelets， and hemoglobin （all P<0.05）. ConclusionAlthough a finite course of PEG-IFN-α-2b therapy has achieved a relatively low rate of clinical cure in the treatment of HBV-related compensated liver cirrhosis， it can still significantly reduce the level of HBsAg， and this treatment regimen has good safety and tolerability， without accelerating disease progression.

Objective:To systematically retrieve and summarize the best available evidence on aerobic exercise combined with resistance training in stroke patients.Methods:Using a structured computer-assisted search strategy based on the "6S" model, literature was retrieved top-down from clinical decision support systems, guideline databases, professional society websites, evidence-based databases, and comprehensive databases. The search included literature related to aerobic and resistance training in stroke patients, including clinical decision tools, guidelines, recommended practices, evidence summaries, systematic reviews, expert consensus documents, and randomized controlled trials (RCT) . The search was performed from the inception of each database to February 28, 2025. Two researchers independently screened the literature, assessed quality, and extracted and synthesized the evidence.Results:A total of 21 publications were included: nine guidelines, three systematic reviews, one expert consensus, and eight RCTs. A total of 32 best evidence statements were summarized across 12 dimensions: timing of training initiation, training methods, training modes, intensity formulation strategies, training dosage, rest intervals, progression principles, progression strategies, training effects, individualized modifications, safety, and adherence management.Conclusions:This study systematically identified and summarized best-practice evidence for aerobic and resistance training in stroke patients. The findings provide strong evidence-based support for developing tailored and effective exercise interventions in stroke rehabilitation.

Objective:To investigate the clinical manifestations of medically refractory hereditary movement disorders in children and the efficacy of deep brain stimulation (DBS).Methods:A case series study.The clinical and follow-up data of 20 children with medically refractory hereditary movement disorders who underwent DBS treatment at the Neurology and Functional Neurosurgery Departments of Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University, from July 2018 to April 2024, were retrospectively analyzed.The severity of movement disorder symptoms and surgical effects were evaluated using the Burke-Fahn-Marsden Dystonia Rating Scale Movement(BFMDRS-M) or the Unified Parkinson′s Disease Rating Scale Ⅲ(UPDRS Ⅲ).Results:There were 12 males and 8 females among the 20 children, with an onset age ranging from 4 months to 12 years and 5 months.Fourteen patients had hereditary dystonia, which is related to KMT2B in 11 patients, TOR1A in 2 patients and SGCE in 1 patient.Two patients had choreoathetosis, which is related to ADCY5-related familial movement disorders.Two patients had early-onset Parkinson′s disease, which is related to ATP6AP2 in 1 patient and VPS13C in 1 patient.Two patients had neurodevelopmental disorders with involuntary movements, which is related to GNAO1 in 1 patient, and the other patient was idiopathic.All the children were given oral Levodopa, Benzhexol, Baclofen, Tiapride Hydrochloride, Clonazepam alone or in combination.Three children showed obvious dyskinesia after Levodopa treatment.The symptoms of movement disorders in all children exhibited little to no improvement.Levetiracetam and Zonisamide had unstable effects in the treatment of myoclonia.DBS surgery was performed on all the patients aged from 3 to 16 years.Electrodes were successfully inserted into bilateral globus pallidus internus in 14 cases and bilateral subthalamic nuclei in 4 cases.The target was unknown in 2 cases.No surgery-related complications were observed.The patients were followed up for 3 months to 6 years, and the last follow-up age of the patients ranged from 5 years and 7 months to 22 years and 1 month.The rate of improvement in BFMDRS-M score was 37%-100% in 16 patients and >70% in 7 patients with hereditary dystonia.The rate of improvement in UPDRS Ⅲ score was 23% in 1 patient with VPS13C-related early-onset Parkinson′s disease. Conclusions:Childhood medically refractory hereditary movement disorders are a case series that exhibits significant phenotypic and genotypic heterogeneity.DBS surgery demonstrates significant efficacy for KMT2B-, TOR1A-, and SGCE-related hereditary movement disorders.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of children with severe human metapneumovirus (HMPV) infection and identify the risk factors associated with critical illness.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted, enrolling 157 hospitalized children with severe HMPV infection, who tested positive for HMPV nucleic acid via PCR-capillary electrophoresis fragment analysis of nasopharyngeal secretions at Shanghai Children′s Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023.Clinical features, co-infections, treatment, and outcomes were collected. Based on the diagnostic criteria for severe HMPV infection, the patients were categorized into a critical illness group and a non-critical illness group. Intergroup comparisons were performed using the χ2 test or the Mann-Whitney U test. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was employed to identify risk factors for critical HMPV infection and to establish a predictive model.The performance of the model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and calibration curves. Results:Among the 157 cases of severe HMPV infection, there were 67 males and 90 females, with an onset age of 39.0 (20.0, 55.5) months. Single-pathogen infection was observed in 125 cases (79.6%), while mixed infections accounted for 32 cases (20.4%).Severe pneumonia was diagnosed in 136 cases (86.6%).The predominant manifestations of severe HMPV infection included fever 152 cases (96.8%), cough 151 cases (96.2%), and wheezing 94 cases (59.9%).Sixty-eight patients (43.3%) required non-invasive respiratory support, 58 cases (36.9%) were admitted to the intensive care unit, and 22 cases (14.0%) underwent mechanical ventilation. Of the total, 149 cases (94.9%) were discharged with improvement, 8 cases (5.1%) were discharged against medical advice, and there were no fatal cases. The cohort was further stratified into a critical illness group 31 cases and a non-critical illness group 126 cases. Compared to the non-critical illness group, the critical illness group exhibited significantly higher rates of respiratory distress, lethargy, and intercostal retractions, along with a higher proportion of underlying comorbidities, and elevated levels of C-reactive protein and procalcitonin (all P<0.05).Conversely, albumin and hemoglobin levels were significantly lower in the critical illness group (both P<0.05). ROC curve analysis revealed that the optimal cutoff value for the duration of fever in predicting severe HMPV infection was 4.5 days.The multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis revealed that prolonged fever duration (>4.5 days) ( OR=28.00, 95% CI 5.09-153.93, P<0.001), anorexia ( OR=11.72, 95% CI 1.26-108.75, P=0.030), and immune dysfunction ( OR=36.71, 95% CI 1.55-867.31, P=0.026) were independent risk factors for severe HMPV infection. A predictive model for critical illness was constructed based on these independent risk factors. ROC curve analysis demonstrated excellent discriminative ability, with an area under the curve of 0.96 (95% CI 0.92-1.00, P<0.001). The optimal predictive probability threshold was 0.17, yielding a sensitivity of 0.93 and specificity of 0.92. The calibration curve closely approximated the ideal curve, indicating good model calibration ( P=0.157). Conclusions:Severe HMPV infection is predominantly observed as a single infection and is prone to progress to severe pneumonia, with fever, cough, and wheezing as the main clinical manifestations. A subset of cases progresses to critical illness, though the overall prognosis is favorable. Prolonged fever duration (>4.5 days), anorexia, and immune dysfunction were independent risk factors for critical illness.The risk prediction model constructed for pediatric critical HMPV infection demonstrated robust discriminative ability with excellent calibration.

Objective:To analyze the distribution and epidemiological characteristics of non-bacterial pathogens in hospitalized children with acute respiratory infections at a tertiary pediatric hospital in Shanghai during 2023.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 10 591 children with acute respiratory tract infections who were hospitalized in Shanghai Children's Hospital from January to December 2023. A multiplex PCR combined with capillary electrophoresis platform was used to detect 11 common non-bacterial respiratory pathogens（including viruses and atypical pathogens）. Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS 29.0 software. Qualitative data were presented as numbers and percentages，and the Chi-square test was employed to make comparisons between groups，aiming to analyze the differences in the distribution of different pathogens according to gender，age group，and season. Additionally，based on the severity of the disease，patients were calssified into a severe pneumonia group and a non-severe pneumonia group to further explore the characteristics of the pathogen spectrum of severe pneumonia.Results:The total detection rate of pathogens was 54.39%（5 760/10 591），and the proportion of mixed infections was 12.76%（735/5 760）. The dominant pathogens and their proportions were as follows： Mycoplasma pneumoniae（19.20%，2 034/10 591），human rhinovirus（12.16%，1 288/10 591），influenza A virus（8.31%，880/10 591），and respiratory syncytial virus（8.14%，862/10 591）. Epidemiological characteristics showed that：（1）In terms of age： Mycoplasma pneumoniae was more common in older children（29.55%，901/3 049，in the school-age group，χ 2 = 653.67， P<0.001）. Influenza A virus had a high incidence in the adolescent group（11.34%，45/397，χ 2=48.69， P<0.001）. Respiratory syncytial virus was most susceptible in the infant group（20.94%，280/1 337，χ 2=739.92， P<0.001）. Human rhinovirus showed the characteristic of general susceptibility across all ages.（2）Monthly and seasonal distribution： Mycoplasma pneumoniae had a seasonal epidemic in summer and autumn（it began to rise in May and peaked in October at 34.22%，439/1 283）；influenza A virus had a bimodal distribution in spring and winter（the peak was 37.15% in March，315/848）；respiratory syncytial virus had a dominant epidemic in spring and summer（the detection rate was 21.24% in May，206/970），and human rhinovirus was prevalent throughout the year.（3）Clinical correlation：The detection rate of pathogens in the severe pneumonia group was significantly higher than that in the non-severe group：84.19%（426/506） vs 2.89%（5 334/10 085），χ 2=56.23， P<0.001. Conclusions:In 2023，the pathogen spectrum of hospitalized children with acute respiratory infections in the Shanghai area exhibits an epidemic pattern dominated by Mycoplasma pneumoniae，and its transmission dynamics are significantly age-dependent. This study delineates the pathogen-host-environment tripartite interactions，establishing an evidence-based foundation for formulating precision diagnostic-therapeutic algorithms and seasonal nosocomial infection prevention frameworks.

ObjectiveTo clarify the anti-inflammatory and lung-protective effects of Yantiao prescription on lipopolysaccharide （LPS）-induced acute lung injury （ALI）， and to explore the impact of Yantiao prescription on the metabolic pathways of arachidonic acid （AA） in vivo. MethodsThirty male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into the following groups based on body weight： normal group， model group， dexamethasone group （2 mg·kg^-1）， low-dose Yantiao prescription group （18 g·kg^-1）， and high-dose Yantiao prescription group （36 g·kg^-1）， with 6 mice in each group. The ALI mouse model was established by intraperitoneal injection of LPS. The treatment groups received oral gavage once a day for 7 consecutive days， and serum and lung tissue were collected at the end of the experiment. The content of pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and interleukin-6 （IL-6） in serum was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to assess lung tissue pathology. The wet/dry weight ratio （W/D） and myeloperoxidase （MPO） activity in lung tissue were measured. The content of AA metabolites in serum and lung tissue was measured by liquid chromatography triple quadrupole-mass spectrometry （LC-MS/MS）. ResultsCompared with the conditions in the normal group， the content of serum pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α， IL-1β， and IL-6 in the model group was significantly increased （P<0.01）. The alveolar structure in mice was severely damaged， with markedly thickened alveolar walls and extensive inflammatory cell infiltration. The W/D ratio and MPO activity in lung tissue were significantly increased （P<0.01）. The content of AA metabolites， including prostaglandin D₂ （PGD₂）， prostaglandin E₂ （PGE₂）， 11（S）-hydroxy-eicosatetraenoic acid ［11（S）-HETE］， and 5-hydroxy-eicosatetraenoic acid （5-HETE） in serum and lung tissue was significantly increased （P<0.05）， while the content of 11，12-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid （11，12-EET） and 14，15-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid （14，15-EET） in serum was significantly decreased （P<0.01）. Compared with the results in the model group， the content of serum pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α， IL-1β， and IL-6 in the dexamethasone group， low-dose Yantiao prescription group， and high-dose Yantiao prescription group was significantly reduced （P<0.05）. Mild thickening of alveolar walls， scattered inflammatory cell infiltration， and relatively intact tissue structure with improved alveolar architecture were observed. The W/D ratio and MPO activity in lung tissue were significantly reduced （P<0.01）. The content of AA metabolites PGD₂， PGE₂， 11（S）-HETE， and 5-HETE in serum from the dexamethasone group was significantly decreased （P<0.05）， while the content of 14，15-EET in serum significantly increased （P<0.01）， and the content of 5-HETE in lung tissue significantly decreased （P<0.01）. In the low-dose and high-dose Yantiao prescription groups， the content of AA metabolites PGD₂， PGE₂， 11（S）-HETE， and 5-HETE in serum and lung tissue was significantly decreased （P<0.05）， while the content of 11，12-EET in both serum and lung tissue was significantly increased （P<0.05）. ConclusionYantiao prescription has significant protective effects against LPS-induced ALI， which are related to its regulation of AA metabolic pathways in vivo.

ObjectiveTo investigate the intervention effects and mechanisms of the flavonoid hyperoside （Hyp） on lipopolysaccharide （LPS）-induced inflammation in the zebrafish model. MethodsZebrafish larvae were either microinjected with 0.5 g·L^-1 LPS or immersed in 1 g·L^-1 LPS for the modeling of inflammation. The larvae were then treated with Hyp at 25， 50， and 100 mg·L^-1 through immersion for four consecutive days. The inflammatory phenotypes were assessed by analyzing the mortality rate， malformation rate， body length， and yolk sac area ratio. Behavioral tests were conducted to evaluate the inflammatory stress responses， and macrophage migration was observed by fluorescence microscopy. Additionally， the mRNA levels of inflammation-related genes， including interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， chemokine C-C motif ligand 2 （CCL2）， chemokine C-X3-C motif receptor 1 （CX3CR1）， chemokine C-C motif receptor 2 （CCR2）， and genes associated with the Toll-like receptor 4 （TLR4）/myeloid differentiation factor 88 （MyD88）/nuclear factor-kappa B （NF-κB） signaling pathway， were measured by Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction（Real-time PCR）. ResultsCompared with the pure water injection group， the model group exhibited increased mortality， malformation rates and yolk sac area ratio （P0.01）， reduced body length （P0.01）， increased total swimming distance and high-speed swimming duration （P0.01）， and up-regulated mRNA levels of TLR4， MyD88， NF-κB， IL-1β， IL-6， CCL2， CX3CR1， and CCR2 （P0.01）. Hyp at low， medium and high doses， as well as aspirin， reduced the mortality and malformation rates （P0.05，P0.01）， increased the body length （P0.05，P0.01）， decreased the yolk sac area ratio （P0.01）， reduced the high-speed swimming duration （P0.01）， and down-regulated the mRNA levels of TLR4， MyD88， NF-κB， IL-1β， IL-6， CCL2， CX3CR1， and CCR2 （P0.05，P0.01） compared with the model group. ConclusionHyp may modulate the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway to ameliorate inflammatory phenotypes and alleviate stress conditions in zebrafish， thereby exerting the anti-inflammatory effect.

Objective To observe the effect of specialist team-led walking-cognition dual-task train-ing combined with active self-disclosure on control and balance abilities in elderly patients with acute ischemic stroke(AIS).Methods A total of 90 elderly AIS patients treated in our hospital from January 2022 to January 2024 were enrolled and randomly assigned into the control group and the observation group,with 45 cases in each group.The control group received routine walk-ing training,while the observation group received specialist team-led walking-cognition dual-task training combined with active self-disclosure intervention.Control ability,balance ability,walking ability,cognitive function and psychological status were compared between the two groups.Results After intervention,the scores of Sheikh Trunk Control Scale and Fugl-Meyer Assessment(FMA),and the static balance score,dynamic balance score and total score of Berg Balance Scale(BBS)were significantly increased in both the observation and the control groups(P＜0.05),and all above scores were obviously higher in the former group than the latter one(P＜0.01).The two groups also obtained notably shorter single-and dual-task walking time after intervention,but there were no statistical difference in the single-task walking time in both groups before and after intervention(P＞0.05).After intervention,the observation group had significantly shorter dual-task walking time(22.87±7.36 s vs 27.52±8.71 s,P=0.008)and lower walking time cost of dual task[(11.16±4.07)％vs(25.61±7.82)％,P=0.000]when compared with the control group.After intervention,the scores of Mini-Mental Status Examination were increased,and the scores of Hamilton Depression Rating Scale and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale were decreased in the two groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion Specialist team-led walking-cognition dual-task training com-bined with active self-disclosure intervention can effectively improve trunk control ability,balance ability,walking ability,cognitive function and psychological state in elderly AIS patients,has cer-tian clinical application value.
