Purpose: In this study, the neural communication patterns between hypothalamic structures and cortical areas in girls diagnosed with central precocious puberty (CPP) were explored. Endocrine profiles were incorporated to clarify the pathophysiological interactions between cerebral networks and hormonal regulation. The hypothalamus was designated as the key focus area for connectivity analysis. Methods: Fifty-seven girls (37 CPP, 20 non-CPP) were recruited from the Pediatric Development Clinic at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University. The collected data included demographic information, gonadotropin-releasing hormone stimulation tests, and magnetic resonance imaging scans. Hypothalamic functional connectivity (FC) was analyzed using predefined region of interest coordinates, and correlations between hormone levels and FC values were assessed. Results: Compared to the non-CPP group, the CPP group exhibited elevated baseline follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), baseline luteinizing hormone (LH), peak FSH, peak LH, and peak LH/FSH ratios. Patients with CPP exhibited enhanced neural synchronization linking the right lateral hypothalamic effector zone to the right superior frontal gyrus (displaying a borderline significant correlation with peak LH concentrations), concurrent with diminished functional coupling of the right lateral hypothalamic efferent to the right fusiform/supramarginal gyri. The left lateral hypothalamic projections demonstrated amplified connectivity with the right cuneus. No FC differences were observed in the medial hypothalamus. Conclusion Abnormal lateral hypothalamus FC patterns were identified in CPP girls and were particularly linked to peak LH levels. The findings offer novel insights into the neuroendocrine mechanisms underlying CPP.

Objective To discuss the practicability and safety of 3.5 mm superfine bronchoscope in children's difficult airway.Methods Twenty-eight children with difficult airway,aged 4 months to 8 years were selected.Intravenous anesthesia was used and autonomous respiration was maintained.The 3.5 mm superfine bronchoscope was used to guide tracheal intubation by nose(mouth).Results Among 28 cases, 1 case had oral bleeding and succeeded after suction and pressurized oxygen supply, and the rest was successful in the first time.The intubation time was(1.50 ± 0.25)min.There was no damage to the whole airway.Success rate was 100%.Conclusions The 3.5 mm superfine bronchoscope in guiding tracheal intubation of children's difficult airway has obvious advantages and security, and it deserves clinical attention and promotion.

Objective To discuss the feasibility and safety of sevoflurane inhale anesthesia with portable combined inhalation anesthesia induction device in solving the difficulty of children entering the operation room.Methods One hundred pediatric patients were enrolled into the study.The pediatric patients were randomly divided into two groups,50 cases in each group.Group A was fraught with a new mode of administration,using portable combined inhalation anesthesia induction device with sevoflurane 2 ml before entering the operation room;group B was fraught with a traditional mode of administration,using in-tramuscular injection with ketamine 4-5 ml/kg before entering the operation room.The analog scale of anes-thetic effect,the number of body movement,adverse reaction were compared between the two groups. Results Compared with group B,time of falling asleep and retention time in the operating room was signif-icantly shorter (P <0.01).And body movement during vein puncture decreased significantly (P <0.01). Moreover,the incidence of adverse affect showed significant reduce compared with group B (P < 0.05 ). Conclusion The combined inhalation anesthesia induction device is simple to produce and easy to carry.To solve the difficulty of convoying children into the operating room,combined inhalation anesthesia induction device with sevoflurane is more effective, safer and more humanized way when compared with the traditional one.
