Objective:To obtain a prevalent respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) clinical isolate in Beijing and analyze the genotype and biological characteristics of the strain.Methods:A nasopharyngeal secretion specimen was collected from a child with RSV infection in Beijing in 2023 and used for viral isolation. Viral nucleic acid was amplified using qRT-PCR. The isolated virus was identified by transmission electron microscopy, indirect immunofluorescence assay, and plaque formation assay. A phylogenetic analysis was conducted based on the whole-genome sequencing results. Virus titers were determined, and replication characteristics were analyzed. The efficacy of the isolated strain for in vitro screening of antiviral drugs was validated. Results:A clinical RSV isolate, named hRSV/C-Tan/BJ 202301, was successfully isolated, which could form syncytia in Hep-2 cells. Spherical, filamentous, and irregular virus particles were observed by electron microscopy. Immunofluorescence detection showed green fluorescence in Hep-2 cells, and plaque assay showed round plaques, which were similar to the Long strain in morphology. Genomic sequence analysis showed that it belonged to ON1 genotype. It exhibited similar cell growth kinetics characteristics with the Long strain and could be used for antiviral drug screening in vitro. Conclusions:In this study, one RSV strain is successfully isolated and identified. The biological characteristics and the phylogenetic relationship of this strain reflect the characteristics of the circulating strains in Beijing, which provides experimental material for RSV vaccine development and antiviral drug screening in China.

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP), whose etiology is influenced by genetic and clinical risk factors, considerably impacts women's quality of life. However, the genetic underpinnings in non-European populations and comprehensive risk models integrating genetic and clinical factors remain underexplored. This study constructed the first polygenic risk score (PRS) for POP in the Chinese population by utilizing 20 disease-associated variants from the largest existing genome-wide association study. We analyzed a discovery cohort of 576 cases and 623 controls and a validation cohort of 264 cases and 200 controls. Results showed that the case group exhibited a significantly higher PRS than the control group. Moreover, the odds ratio of the top 10% risk group was 2.6 times higher than that of the bottom 10%. A high PRS was significantly correlated with POP occurrence in women older than 50 years old and in those with one or no childbirths. As far as we know, the integrated prediction model, which combined PRS and clinical risk factors, demonstrated better predictive accuracy than other existing PRS models. This combined risk assessment model serves as a robust tool for POP risk prediction and stratification, thereby offering insights into individualized preventive measures and treatment strategies in future clinical practice.

Objective: To investigate the correlation of emotional and behavioral problems with sleep problems in children with cerebral palsy, so as to provide reference for intervention of emotional and behavioral problems in children. Methods: A cross sectional survey was conducted, and 402 children aged 6-18 with cerebral palsy who were adopted by social welfare institutions in Guangzhou City from January 2023 to January 2024 were selected to investigate their full time nurses. The Parents Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) was used to assess the emotional and behavioral problems of children with cerebral palsy, and the Children s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) was used to assess sleep problems. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the sleep problem of children with cerebral palsy and the emotional and behavioral problems. Results: The prevalence of emotional and behavioral difficulties among children with cerebral palsy was 15.7%. The median sleep problem score of children with emotional and behavioral problems [37.0(36.0, 41.0)] was significantly higher than that of children without emotional and behavioral [35.0(34.0, 36.0)] ( Z =-5.74, P <0.01). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that after adjusting covariables such as age, gender, cerebral palsy classification, language retardation, visual impairment and epilepsy, the total sleep problem score of children with cerebral palsy was positively correlated with the total difficulty score ( β= 0.28, 95%CI =0.17-0.34, P <0.05). Conclusions Sleep problems in children with cerebral palsy are associated with emotional and behavioral difficulties. Understanding of the management of sleep problems in children with cerebral palsy should be enhanced to reduce the incidence of emotional and behavioral problems in children with cerebral palsy.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of minimally invasive reduction and ulna bicortical angulation intramedullary fixation in the management of Bado typeⅠMonteggia fracture in pediatric patients. METHODS: Between August 2018 and August 2020, the clinical data of 15 pediatric patients diagnosed with Bado typeⅠfresh Monteggia fracture were retrospectively analyzed. There were 11 males and 4 females. The left side was implicated in 5 cases, while the right side was involved in 10 cases. The age ranged from 4 to 12 years old. There were a total of 10 cases of upper ulna fractures and 5 cases of middle ulna fractures. Among these, the ulnar fracture line presented as transverse or short oblique in 9 cases, and long oblique or spiral in 6 cases. The pediatric patients underwent treatment utilizing minimally invasive reduction and ulna bicortical angulation intramedullary fixation. The effectiveness of the treatment was assessed based on the Mayo elbow scoring system. RESULTS: The follow-up period for all 15 cases ranged from 6 to 24 months. Among them, the occurrence of needle tail irritation was observed in 3 cases, all of which exhibited satisfactory healing following routine disinfection and dressing change. The other children had no re dislocation of the radial capitulum, no epiphyseal injury, no osteofascial compartment syndrome, elbow instability and other complications. The degree of limitation of daily life, range of motion of joints, pain level and appearance of limbs were recorded at the last follow-up. According to Mayo elbow scoring system, 12 cases were excellent and 3 cases were good. CONCLUSION The minimally invasive reduction and ulna bicortical angulation intramedullary fixation technique is a simple and effective treatment for Bado typeⅠfresh Monteggia fractures in children.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided closed reduction and internal fixation using Kirschner wire for the treatment of olecranon fractures of the ulna in children. METHODS: Between January 2019 and January 2021, 13 children with olecranon fracture were treated with ultrasound-guided closed reduction and percutaneous Kirschner wire internal fixation, including 10 males and 3 females. The age ranged from 3 to 14 years old. Children with ulnar olecranon fractures were evaluated using the Gicquel scoring system. The clinical evaluation encompassed postoperative pain, functional status, and range of motion, with a maximum score of 15 points. The radiological assessment contributed an additional 4 points. A cumulative score of more than 18 scores was classified as excellent, more than 17 scores as good, more than16 scores as fair, and less than 16 scores as poor. Clinical assessment:A score of 14 indicates excellent performance, a score of 13 reflects good performance, a score of 12 denotes fair performance, and a score of less than 11 signifies poor performance. RESULTS: A total of 13 patients were followed up, with a duration ranging from 6 to 12 months. According to the Gicquel scoring criteria, the comprehensive evaluation of clinical and radiographic findings yielded 10 excellent and 3 good outcomes. Evaluation based solely on clinical findings resulted in 13 excellent outcomes. CONCLUSION Ultrasound-guided percutaneous cross Kirschner wire fixation for children's olecranon fracture has the advantages of less trauma, rapid recovery, less fluoroscopy, and good recovery of elbow function. The clinical effect is satisfactory.
