Peripheral nerve injury refers to the impairment that occurs when the sens-ory nerves and motor nerves are damaged.Professor Zhang Hong has unique insights into the treatment of neurologically diseases in children.Based on the different manifestations of the disease,it is categorized under the traditional Chinese medicine concepts of"atro-phy syndrome","muscle injury"and"Bi syndrome".Professor Zhang believes that the disease is fundamentally rooted in the liver and kidneys,and that treatment should notonly address the acquired symptoms but also nurture the innate foundation.This article a-nalyze and summarize professor Zhang's clinical experience in using acupuncture,electroa-cupuncture,moving cupping,and moxibustion in the comprehensive treatment of peripheral nerve injury,providing a reference for clinical treatment of peripheral neuropathy in chil-dren.

Objectives:To investigate the predictive value of Murray's law-based quantitative flow ratio(μQFR)in side branches for long-term clinical prognosis in patients with non-left main bifurcation lesions who underwent simple main branch stenting,and to provide a potential functional assessment standard for intervention decision-making on coronary bifurcation lesions.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted in 408 patients with non-left main bifurcation lesions who underwent simple main branch stenting at Lianyungang First People's Hospital and Nanjing First Hospital between July 2018 and January 2021.The study utilized third-generation QFR software to analyze pre-and post-procedure anatomical and functional parameters of the target lesion's main branch and key branches.The primary endpoint was target vessel failure(TVF)events during the 3-year follow-up.Patients were stratified into TVF and non-TVF groups.Baseline characteristics,procedural data,and pre-/post-procedural parameters of target vessels were compared between groups.Multivariable Cox regression was performed to identify predictors of TVF.Diagnostic efficacy of predictors was evaluated using area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve(AUC)with DeLong's method for comparison.Patients were dichotomized based on the optimal cutoffof post-procedural side branch μQFR,with TVF incidence rates compared via Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier analysis.Results:During 3-year follow-up,54 patients(13.2%)experienced TVF(TVF group),data were compared with 354 patients(86.76%)without TVF(non-TVF group).The TVF group showed higher post-procedural side branch diameter stenosis([32.93±17.80]%vs.[22.62±11.96]%,P<0.001)and lower μQFR(0.80±0.10 vs.0.89±0.07,P<0.001).Multivariate Cox regression identified higher post-procedural side branch μQFR as an independent protective factor against 3-year TVF(per 0.01 increase:HR=0.903,95%CI:0.850-0.959,P<0.001).ROC curves indicated that post-procedural side branch μQFR had moderate diagnostic efficacy for predicting 3-year TVF(AUC=0.769,95%CI:0.678-0.861,P<0.001),with a significantly higher AUC value than post-operative side branch area stenosis and minimal lumen diameter(both P<0.001),the optimal cutoffvalue was 0.84.Multivariate Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed markedly higher 3-year TVF rates in patients with μQFR≤0.84 compared to patients with μQFR>0.84(HR=4.007,95%CI:2.342-6.855,P<0.001;28.3%vs.7.9%,log-rank P<0.001).Conclusions:For patients with bifurcation lesions not involving the left main,the immediate post-procedural side branch μQFR could better predict 3-year TVF than anatomical indices.Maintaining post-stenting side branch μQFR>0.84 may optimize clinical outcomes when using a single-stent strategy.

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.

Objective To investigate whether orexin A(orexin-A),orexin receptor 1(OX1R)and orexin receptor 2(OX2R)are involved in iron death and lipid peroxidation regulation in chronically unpredictable mild stress(CUMS)depressed rats.Methods Forty rats were randomly divided into a normal group(NC group),a modeling group(Mod group),an exogenous Orexin-A group(Orexin-A group,),and an OX1R/OX2R blocker group(TCS1102 group),with 10 rats in each group.After modeling,behavioral changes were observed using the absent field test(OFT),sugar-water preference test(SPT)and forced swimming test(FST),action potential(PA)and resting membrane potential(Vm)were detected by diaphragm-clamp technique,Orexin-A/OX1R/OX2R protein expression in orbital frontal cortex(OFC)tissues was detected by protein immunoblotting(WB)method,RT-PCR The mRNA expression of glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4),long chain acyl coenzyme A synthase 4(ACSL4)and cysteine/glutamate transporter light chain(SLC7A11)were detected by RT-PCR method,and the intensity of the expression of rat glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP)and lipid peroxidation product 4-hydroxynon-enal(4-HNE)was labeled by immunofluorescence.Results Compared with the NC group,there were significant differences in OFT,SPT and FST behavioral in the Mod group(P<0.01),with lower number of PA issuance(P<0.001),higher Vm(P<0.01),and higher expression of Orexin-A/OX1R/OX2R proteins(P<0.01,P<0.001,and P<0.001).GPX4/SLC7A11 mRNA expression was decreased(P<0.01),ACSL4 mRNA expression was elevated(P<0.01),and the fluorescence intensity expression of both GFAP and 4-HNE was elevated(P<0.001);the number of PA issuance was decreased in the Orexin-A group compared to the Mod group(P<0.05),and the Orexin-A/OX1R/OX2R protein expression was elevated(P<0.05,P<0.01),GPX4/SLC7A11 mRNA ex-pression was decreased(P<0.05),ACSL4 mRNA expression was elevated(P<0.05),and the fluorescence in-tensity of GFAP and 4-HNE expression was elevated(P<0.05,P<0.01);the TCS1102 group had higher expres-sion of GFAP and 4-HNE in the behavioral,Orexin-A/OX1R/OX2R protein expression,PA and Vm,GPX4/SLC7A11/ACSL4 mRNA,and GFAP and 4-HNE fluorescence intensity expression showed a reversed trend.Con-clusions Orexin-A/OX1R/OX2R is involved in the regulation of iron death and lipid peroxidation in CUMS de-pressed rats,and the mechanism may be that Orexin-A enhances the excitability of OFC neurons by activating the OX1R/OX2R signaling pathway,up-regulates the expression of the key factor of iron death,ACSL4/4-HNE,and decreases the expression of GPX4/SLC7A11,which promotes lipid peroxidation and iron death.

Aim To investigate the predictive value of the Murray law-based quantitative flow ratio(μQFR)after target vessel pretreatment for vascular-related adverse events in patients with de novo coronary lesions treated with drug-coated balloon.Methods This retrospective study included 223 lesions from 223 patients who underwent drug-coated balloon-only strategy and completed 2-year clinical follow-up.Coronary angiographic images of target vessels pre-procedure,post-balloon and post-procedure were collected,and analyzed using a novel Murray's law-based algorithm.The μQFR analysis of each target vessel included not only the μQFR value of the target vessel,but also the length of the target vessel,the degree of vessel diameter stenosis,the reference lumen diameter,the minimum lumen diameter and blood flow velocity.The primary endpoint was defined as the postoperative vessel-oriented composite endpoint(VOCE).Results During the2-year clinical follow-up period,a total of 25 patients(11.2%)experienced VOCE events.Com-pared with the control group,patients with VOCE events after pretreatment showed a decrease in μQFR(P<0.001).Multivariate Logistic analysis showed that a lower target vessel μQFR after pretreatment(OR=0.931,95%CI:0.894～0.969,P<0.001)was an independent predictor of VOCE events.ROC curve analysis showed that the cut-off value for predicting 2-year VOCE events using preprocessed μQFR was 0.83(95%CI:0.727～0.840),with a sensitivity of 72.7%and a specificity of 84.0%(AUC=0.773,95%CI:0.676～0.870,P<0.001).Survival analysis showed that compared with patients with μQFR>0.83,patients with μQFR≤0.83 had a significantly higher incidence of VOCE events at 1 and 2 years,increasing to 3.909 times(16.9%vs.4.6%,HR=3.909,95%CI:1.539～9.930,P=0.004)and 2.867 times(19.7%vs.7.2%,HR=2.867,95%CI:1.301～6.316,P=0.009).After adjusting for potential con-founds,patients with pretreated μQFR≤0.83 had a 2.567 times in 2-year incidence of VOCE events(HR=2.567,95%CI:1.151～5.727,P=0.021)and a 3.712 times in 1-year incidence of VOCE events(HR=3.712,95%CI:1.478～9.810,P=0.006)compared to patients with good pretreatment.Conclusions For patients with in situ coronary artery disease,a lower μQFR after pretreatment increases the risk of postoperative adverse clinical events.μQFR≤0.83 may be used to evaluate the effectiveness of lesion pretreatment.

Objective:To analyze the association between standardized management of clinical research, initiated by investigators and guided by clinical research management policies in healthcare institutions, and changes in the research behavior of graduate students.Methods:Theses related to cardiovascular health published by graduate students in the Sichuan-Chongqing region of China between January 2019 and June 2024 were retrieved from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure database. Multilevel models were used to analyze changes in ethical compliance awareness, research methodology standardization, and academic collaboration of graduate students before and after policy implementation. Using Shapiro Wilk test and percentage representation.Results:Among the 712 theses included in this study, the proportion of studies with ethical review reports increased from 44.50% to 55.32% following the implementation of standardized management [odds ratio ( OR)=1.80, P=0.017]. Standardized management significantly improved the quality scores of cross-sectional studies and randomized controlled trials ( P<0.001), as well as significantly increased the frequencies of multi-center collaboration ( OR=2.84, P=0.001) and intra-provincial collaboration ( OR=2.80, P=0.001). Conclusions:Standardized clinical research management shows significant association with positive changes in the research behavior of graduate students. Further optimization of management measures is recommended to comprehensively enhance the clinical research capabilities of graduate students.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

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.
