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.

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 establish age estimation models of northern Chinese Han adults using cranial suture images obtained by CT and multiplanar reformation(MPR),and to explore the applicability of cranial suture closure rule in age estimation of northern Chinese Han population.Methods The head CT samples of 132 northern Chinese Han adults aged 29-80 years were retrospectively collected.Volume reconstruction(VR)and MPR were performed on the skull,and 160 cranial suture tomography images were generated for each sample.Then the MPR images of cranial sutures were scored according to the closure grading criteria,and the mean closure grades of sagittal suture,coronal sutures(both left and right)and lambdoid sutures(both left and right)were calculated respectively.Finally taking the above grades as independent variables,the linear regression model and four machine learning models for age estimation(gradient boosting regression,support vector regression,decision tree regression and Bayesian ridge regression)were established for northern Chinese Han adults age estimation.The accu-racy of each model was evaluated.Results Each cranial suture closure grade was positively correlated with age and the correlation of sagittal suture was the highest.All four machine learning models had higher age estimation accuracy than linear regression model.The support vector regression model had the highest accuracy among the machine learning models with a mean absolute error of 9.542 years.Conclusion The combination of skull CT-MPR and machine learning model can be used for age esti-mation in northern Chinese Han adults,but it is still necessary to combine with other adult age estima-tion indicators in forensic practice.

Objectives:To report the sexual functional outcomes of vaginal dilation therapy in Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome patients.Methods:From March 2020 to February 2023, 97 MRKH syndrome patients performed vaginal dilation therapy with guidance from Peking Union Medical College Hospital, and 45 of them engaged in penetrative intercourse and were included in this prospective cohort study. The Chinese version of female sexual function index (FSFI) was used to assess sexual function. Functional success was defined as FSFI>23.45. Forty age-matched healthy women were selected as controls. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to calculate the median time to success. Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the relationship between neovagina length and sexual function. Complications were collected using follow-up questionnaires.Results:The functional success rate of vaginal dilation therapy was 89% (40/45) with a median time to success of 4.3 months (95% CI: 3.0-6.1 months). Compared to controls, MRKH syndrome patients had significantly lower scores in the orgasm domain (4.72±1.01 vs 4.09±1.20; P=0.013) and pain domain (5.03±0.96 vs 4.26±0.83; P<0.001). However, there were no significant differences in the FSFI total score (26.77±2.70 vs 26.70±2.33; P=0.912), arousal domain (4.43±0.77 vs 4.56±0.63; P=0.422) and satisfaction domain (4.88±0.98 vs 4.65±0.86; P=0.269) between MRKH syndrome patients and controls. MRKH syndrome patients had significantly higher scores in the desire domain (3.33±0.85 vs 3.95±0.73; P<0.001) and lubrication domain (4.37±0.56 vs 5.20±0.67; P<0.001). The prevalence of sexual dysfunction in MRKH patients was non-inferior to controls: low desire [3% (1/40) vs 23% (9/40); P=0.007], arousal disorder [3% (1/40) vs 3% (1/40); P>0.999], lubrication disorder [5% (2/40) vs 25% (10/40); P=0.012], orgasm disorder [40% (16/40) vs 20% (8/40); P=0.051], sexual pain [30% (12/40) vs 15% (6/40); P=0.108]. Conclusions:MRKH syndrome patients undergoing non-invasive vaginal dilation therapy could achieve satisfactory sexual life. Given its high functional success rate and slight complication, vaginal dilation therapy should be recommended as the first-line option, reducing the need for unnecessary surgeries.

Objective To understand the prevalence characteristics of influenza and changes of influenza virus strains,and provide reference for the prevention and control of influenza in the province.Methods Surveillance da-ta about influenza in Hunan Province from 2014 to 2023 were exported from China Influenza Surveillance Informa-tion System.Differences in the percentage of influenza-like illness(ILI)cases(percentage of influenza-like cases[ILI％]in outpatient and emergency department visits)among different years and different populations,as well as the positive rate of influenza virus in ILI specimens were compared.Results From 2014 to 2023,over 2.65 million cases of ILI were reported,with an ILI％of 4.70％.ILI％among different years presented statistically significant differences(P＜0.001).People aged 0-14 years old were the main population with ILI,accounting for 82.90％.The positive rate of influenza virus in ILI specimens was 14.14％,the positive rate of influenza virus among diffe-rent years and age groups were both significantly different(both P＜0.001).The main prevalent influenza strains from 2014 to 2023 included types A(H1N1),A(H3N2),B(Victoria),and B(Yamagata),alternating among di-fferent years.However,type B(Yamagata)strains were not detected from 2020 to 2023.There were basically two influenza prevalence seasons every year,namely winter-spring and summer.Conclusion People＜15 years old are the main population of influenza,and the prevalence peaks are in winter-spring and summer.From 2021 to 2023,the prevalence alternates mainly among 3 types:A(H1N1),A(H3N2),and B(Victoria).

Objective Based on the U.S.Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System(FAERS)database,data mining was conducted on hematological adverse events related to antibody drug conjugates(ADC),providing reference for the safe use of ADC drugs in clinical practice.Methods The report data from the third quarter of 2011 to the fourth quarter of 2022 were retrieved from the FAERS database.After data cleaning such as deduplication and name standardization,extract hematological adverse events related to ADC,and use report odds ratio method and the information component method for signal detection.Results A total of 101 610 adverse event reports were extracted,with 8 ADC drugs as the primary suspected drugs,and 5 768 ADC related hematological adverse event reports.Among them,3 423 cases of agranulocytosis were involved,and the signal intensity from strong to weak were sacituzumab govitecan(SG),gemtuzumab ozogamicin(GO),brentuximab vedotin(BV),polatuzumab vedotin(PV),enfortumab vedotin(EV),trastuzumab deruxtecan(TD),inotuzumab ozogamicin(IO)and ado-trastuzumab emtansine(TDM-1).There were 2 327 cases hematopoietic cell deficiency,with signals ranging from strong to weak were IO,SG,BV,EV,PV,TD,TDM-1,and GO.Report with clinical outcome of death of ADC drug related hematological adverse events included BV 179(16.84％),TDM-1 102(13.01％),TD 88(27.08％),GO 12(16.90％),IO 8(11.59％),EV 54(24.32％),PV 22(27.16％),and SG 84(21.05％).Adverse event time analysis showed that the number of events on the first day of TD,IO,and SG medication accounts for ≥ 40％of the total number of cases.The median time of hematological adverse events in TD,GO,IO,EV,PV,and SG was within one treatment course(21 days).Conclusion Attention should be paid to the risk of ADC drug-related hematological adverse event,during the clinical medication process,blood cell count changes should be closely monitored,and any abnormalities should be promptly diagnosed and treated.
