Objective:To explore the risk factors for bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) after Mycoplasma pneumoniae bronchiolitis in children. Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 122 children diagnosed with Mycoplasma pneumoniae bronchiolitis in Department No.2 of Respiratory Medicine of Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University, from March 2017 to December 2024. Clinical data, including general information, clinical manifestations, imaging findings, laboratory tests, and outcomes, were analyzed. Patients were divided into BO and non-BO groups based on the presence of BO. Differences between groups were assessed using Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test, or Fisher exact test. Logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were employed to identify risk factors and evaluate predictive performance. Results:Among 122 children (73 males, 49 females), the age at onset was 5.0 (2.4, 7.1) years. The BO group included 21 patients, and the non-BO group 101. The BO group exhibited significantly longer durations of persistent high fever and higher peak levels of C-reactive protein, lactate dehydrogenase, and D-dimer compared to the non-BO group (9 (7, 11) vs. 4 (2, 6) d, 19 (7, 35) vs. 10 (7, 18) mg/L, 438 (337, 498) vs. 315 (274, 351) U/L, 0.36 (0.27, 0.91) vs. 0.21 (0.15, 0.29) mg/L, U=295.00, 743.50, 463.50, 470.50, all P<0.05). The BO group also had higher proportions of resting oxygen saturation <0.95 on room air (100.0% (21/21) vs. 43.6% (44/101)), inspiratory retractions (57.1% (12/21) vs. 18.8% (19/101), χ2=11.53), and adenovirus co-infection (38.1% (8/21) vs. 5.0% (5/101)) (all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression identified prolonged high fever ( OR=1.83, 95% CI 1.31-2.58, P<0.001), inspiratory retractions ( OR=10.48, 95% CI 1.72-63.85, P=0.011), and adenovirus co-infection ( OR=42.47, 95% CI 4.04-446.87, P=0.002) as independent risk factors for BO. ROC curve analysis revealed that a fever duration cutoff of 7.5 days predicted BO with 0.71 sensitivity and 0.92 specificity. Conclusions:Prolonged high fever (≥7.5 days), inspiratory retractions, and adenovirus co-infection are significant predictors of BO after Mycoplasma pneumoniae bronchiolitis in children, which are helpful for early clinical identification.

BACKGROUND:The inferior pole of the patella is very important for the integrity and stability of the knee extensor mechanism and maintaining good knee joint function.Currently,there is no unified surgical method for the clinical treatment of inferior pole patella fractures,but effective internal fixation should have the ability to counteract the tensile stress of the quadriceps and patellar ligament,the flexion stress of the femoral condyle,and the separation and displacement of the fracture ends.OBJECTIVE:A three-dimensional model of patellar inferior pole fracture was established by finite element method to compare the fixation effect and biomechanical stability of Kirschner-tension band,Kirschner-tension band combined with encircling,Kirschner-tension band combined with longitudinal binding,so as to provide a reliable surgical choice for clinical treatment of patellar inferior pole fracture.METHODS:A healthy female volunteer was selected to undergo CT scan of the knee joint,and a model of the fracture of the inferior pole of the patella was constructed using finite element software.According to different internal fixation methods,they were divided into three groups:A,B and C.Group A received tension-band wiring;group B received tension-band wiring combined with cerclage wiring,and group C received tension-band wiring combined with separate vertical wiring.Under the same support and constraint conditions,the biomechanical properties of the three internal fixation models were evaluated by finite element analysis software.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The results of finite element analysis showed that group C had the smallest displacement of the whole model,the patella and the internal fixator,and the smallest stress of the model and the internal fixator compared with group A and group B when different loads were applied in the direction of 45°.It is indicated that compared with Kirschner-tension band wiring and Kirschner-tension band wiring combined with cerclage wiring,Kirschner-tension band wiring combined with separate vertical wiring exhibits smaller displacement and stress,with superior biomechanical strength,providing a more reliable internal fixation.Theoretically,it is sufficient to meet the needs of patients to perform functional exercises after surgery in the early postoperative period.

Objective To investigate preliminary clinical effects of three-dimensional(3D)printing combined with minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis(MIPPO)in the treatment of anterior pelvic ring injuries.Methods Between December 2017 and July 2023,we treated 15 patients with anterior pelvic ring injuries by using 3D printing combined with MIPPO.Before surgery,a 3D model was printed to establish the actual structure,and a steel plate was pre-bent outside the body to simulate the surgery,as well as the design of number,direction,and length of screws.Then,the pre-bent internal fixation device was inserted through the bone membrane tunnel in the anterior pelvic ring,and the screws were fixed through both sides of the incision according to the preoperative planning.Results All the 15 patients underwent surgery successfully without complications such as nerve and vascular injury.The operation time was(162.9±63.1)min,the total length of incision was(13.5±2.2)cm,the number of fluoroscopic examinations during the surgery was(5.5±1.0)times,and the amount of blood loss was(456.7±272.5)ml.The fracture healing time was(17.5±1.8)weeks.The 15 patients were followed up for(15.2±3.9)months.The Majeed functional score increased significantly from(18.3±2.3)points before surgery to(86.3±6.0)points at 6 months postoperatively(t=-47.313,P=0.000).The fracture reduction according to the Matta standards showed excellent in 14 patients,fair in one patient,the excellent and good rate being 93.3％(14/15).Conclusion Combination of 3D printing and MIPPO treatment for anterior pelvic ring injuries can achieve good clinical effects.

In-depth understanding of the clinical diagnosis and treatment practices of various health workers is of great significance for optimizing the allocation of health workforce. In 2023, based on the surveillance platform of National Center for Pediatric Cancer Surveillance(NCPCS), the NCPCS effectively integrated human resources data with clinical diagnosis and treatment data. By clarifying the conceptual and logical structures of the database, a clinical health workforce database was constructed using a distributed relational database. This database adhered to the data quality control principles of uniqueness, integrity, logic, and validity, and implemented scientific and effective data security protection strategies throughout the entire data life cycle. In practical applications, statistical analyses could be conducted on this database from two dimensions: health workforce and diagnosis-treatment processes, assisting relevant departments and hospitals in the refined management of health workforce allocation and promoting discipline construction. As of May 2024, the database had incorporated 931 hospitals, with the number of various health workers exceeding 640 000. The clinical health workforce database provided references for health administrative departments and hospitals at all levels to grasp the clinical practices of various health workers, and to achieve a clinical-demand-oriented allocation of health workforce.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of childhood infectious diseases in a single center in Beijing City from 2007 to 2021, and to provide scientific basis for the management of infectious diseases in hospitals.Methods:The clinical data of outpatients or inpatients aged<18 years old with infectious diseases recorded in the Nationwide Health Information-based Disease Control and Prevention Information System of Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2021 were collected. Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the types of infectious diseases, population distribution, time distribution characteristics, as well as the etiological characteristics of major infectious diseases.Results:There were 219 260 cases reported, accounting for 5.73‰(219 260/38 295 800) of the total number of hospital cases, with two peaks of 25 469 and 22 928 cases in 2010 and 2019, respectively. The main category of infectious diseases was class C, accounting for 77.51%(169 947/219 260). According to the classification of transmission routes, fecal-oral transmission infectious diseases were the most common, with 144 712 cases (66.00%), followed by air and droplet transmission infectious diseases with 73 946 cases (33.73%), showing an increasing trend by year. The top five diseases in terms of incidence were hand, foot and mouth disease (114 864 cases), influenza (28 703 cases), varicella (22 190 cases), other infectious diarrheal diseases (21 040 cases) and scarlet fever (11 500 cases). Among the 219 260 children, there were 131 546 males and 87 714 females, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.5 to 1. Children aged≤6 years old comprised the majority, with a total of 189 593 cases (86.47%). The peak period of infectious diseases reporting was from May to July. Hand, foot and mouth disease was mainly caused by Coxsackie virus A16(35.02%(1 258/3 592)), while Coxsackie virus A6 had been increasing rapidly since 2017. The main pathogen of influenza was influenza A virus (62.18%(7 400/11 900)), while other infectious diarrhea was mainly caused by rotavirus (87.55%(4 283/4 892)).Conclusions:There is an intermittent outbreak in the incidence of childhood infectious diseases, and air and droplet transmission infectious diseases have shown an upward trend in recent years. Hand, foot and mouth disease, influenza, varicella, other infectious diarrheal diseases and scarlet fever are the main infectious diseases affecting children. Different diseases have the characteristics of age and onset season. The prevention and control of infectious diseases should be updated gradually according to the epidemic trend. Proper protection should be taken during peak seasons and for key populations.

AIM: To investigate the relationship between TRPM3 and diabetes-induced painful peripheral neuropathy. METHODS: Treptozotocin (STZ) was intraperitoneal injected for establishment of diabetic mice model, behavioral tests of paw withdraw thresholds (PWTs) and paw withdraw latencies (PWLs) were conducted; Protein contents and tyrosine phosphorylation levels of TRPM3 were detected by immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting. RESULTS: The PWTs and PWLs in diabetic mice were significantly reduced; TRPM3 tyrosine phosphorylation in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) of diabetic mice significantly increased compared with control, while the protein expression shows no statistical significance; Enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation of TRPM3 by BPV can evoke heat hyperalgesia in intact mice; Reduce of the tyrosine phosphorylation levels of TRPM3 through PP2 significantly alleviates diabetes-induced heat hyperalgesia, without affecting mechanical allodynia. CONCLUSION: The upregulation of tyrosine phosphorylation of TRPM3 plays a key role in heat related painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
