Objectives:To establish the Chinese Healthy Lifestyle Index(CHLI),which can be applied to comprehensively assess healthy level of lifestyle among Chinese population.Methods:Potential indicators were screened through literature review.Enrolled indicators were determined by the Delphi expert consultation method and the weight of the indicator was assessed by the analytic hierarchy process(AHP).Finally,the CHLI was obtained though weighted sum.Results:In both rounds of correspondence,the positive coefficients were 92.9% and 93.8%,and the expert authority coefficients were 0.846±0.027 and 0.861±0.030,respectively.The coordination coefficients Kendall's W of the importance scores on primary/secondary indicators were 0.482/0.451 and 0.535/0.557 for the first and second round of consultation,respectively(all P<0.001),indicating a good coordination between expert opinions.The final index system of CHLI includes 5 primary indicators and 28 secondary indicators.Regarding the weights of primary indicators,the highest weight was assigned to diet(0.239),followed by psychological health(0.220),physical activity(0.198),nicotine exposure(0.175)and sleep health(0.167).The combined weights of the secondary indicators ranged from 0.009 to 0.198.The consistency ratios of the AHP judgment matrices were all less than 0.1,indicating the results were credible.Conclusions:The CHLI can be used to comprehensively evaluate the healthy level of lifestyle among Chinese population.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and associated factors of comorbid obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) coexisting with restless legs syndrome (RLS).Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted, enrolling hospitalized patients diagnosed with OSA or RLS at Peking University Sixth Hospital from June 2015 to May 2023. Participants were divided into three groups: OSA with RLS (comorbid group, n=26), OSA alone ( n=60, RLS-excluding), and RLS alone ( n=45, OSA-excluding). Demographic characteristics, clinical data, laboratory indicators (i.e., hemoglobin, ferritin, serum iron, folate, vitamin B 12, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, fasting glucose), and polysomnography (PSG) parameters were collected. Group differences were analyzed using ANOVA, chi-square tests, and non-parametric tests. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify factors associated with OSA comorbid RLS. Results:Laboratory analyses revealed that patients in the comorbid group had significantly lower hemoglobin ( P=0.046) and ferritin levels ( P=0.024) than the OSA-alone group. Conversely, serum phosphorus was markedly elevated in the comorbid group compared to both control groups ( F=2.23, P<0.01). Polysomnography test found significantly higher periodic limb movement during sleep index (PLMSI) in the comorbid group vs. OSA-alone group (Dunn-Bonferroni correction P=0.001), reduced minimum oxygen saturation in the comorbid group vs. RLS-alone group (Dunn-Bonferroni correction P<0.001), and increased respiratory-related microarousals in the comorbid group vs. RLS-alone group (Dunn-Bonferroni correction P<0.001). Multivariate analysis adjusted for covariates confirmed that periodic limb movement during sleep index (PLMSI) ( OR=1.04, 95% CI=1.02-1.07, P=0.001) and serum phosphorus ( OR=6.51, 95% CI=1.86-27.40, P=0.003) independently contributed to OSA-RLS comorbidity. Conclusion:The coexistence of OSA and RLS manifests as dual dysregulation in iron-phosphorus metabolism and synchronized respiratory-motor dysfunction. Mechanistically, hypoxia-induced systemic inflammation may serve as a nexus linking metabolic perturbations and sleep fragmentation in this clinical subpopulation, highlighting potential biomarkers for targeted management.

Objective:This study aimed to explore the status of radiological Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) among school-aged children in Chamdo City, Tibet, through a 3-year monitoring survey, providing epidemiological evidence for prevention and control strategies.Methods:The target areas for this study were Luolong, Bianba, and Basu counties in Chamdo City, Tibet Autonomous Region, identified as having the most severe historical cases of KBD. Children aged 7-12 years attending school were enrolled as study subjects. Anteroposterior X-ray films of the right-hand were taken, and radiological diagnoses were made based on the "Diagnosis of Kashin-Beck Disease" criteria (WS/T 207-2010). Two experienced researchers independently reviewed the X-rays, and intra- and inter-group consistency were assessed using weighted Kappa values and percentage agreement. Cross-sectional surveys were conducted in 2017 and 2020 to describe the X-ray detection rates of KBD, and logistic regression analysis was employed to construct a predictive model of risk factors for radiological KBD cases.Results:In 2017, a total of 5,711 children aged 7-12 years in Chamdo City, Tibet, participated in the baseline cross-sectional survey (average age 9.2 years, 48.0% female), with 28 cases of radiological KBD. The age- and gender-standardized prevalence rate was 0.527%. In 2020, 6,771 participants (average age 9.3 years, 49.5% female) underwent a second cross-sectional survey, with 9 cases of radiological KBD and a standardized prevalence rate of 0.134%. Logistic regression analysis indicated that older age [ OR=2.439, 95% CI(1.299, 4.580), P=0.006] and female gender [ OR=8.157, 95% CI(1.016, 65.528), P=0.048] were independent risk factors for radiological KBD cases. Conversely, higher residential altitude, under the premise of Tibet's high altitude, was a protective factor [ OR=0.995, 95% CI(0.990, 0.999), P=0.032). Conclusion:The radiographically positive detection rate of KBD among school-aged children in Chamdo City, Tibet Autonomous Region, is at an extremely low level and showing a declining trend, reaching the historical standard in 2020. Considering the absence of positive signs in affected children, it suggests that local KBD has been effectively eliminated.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of 3D printing combined with O-arm navigation assisted posterior hemivertebrae resection and orthopedic fixation in the treatment of congenital cervicothoracic scoliosis.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on the clinical data of 14 patients with congenital cervicothoracic kyphosis caused by hemivertebra treated in Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2015 to June 2021, including 9 males and 5 females, aged 8.9±3.2 years (range, 1-15 years). Operation time, intraoperative blood loss and fusion stage were recorded. Intraoperative O-arm scanning and postoperative CT scanning were performed to evaluate the accuracy of nail placement. The cervicothoracic scoliosis Cobb angle, compensatory scoliosis Cobb angle, local kyphosis Cobb angle, torticollis angle, T 1 tilt angle and clavicular angle were measured before operation, model design, 1 week after operation and at the last follow-up to evaluate the effect of surgical design, intraoperative orthosis and the correction loss at follow-up. The Society for Scoliosis Research-22 (SRS-22) questionnaire was used to evaluate the functional and treatment effect. At the last follow-up, the osteotomy fusion was evaluated by Eck criterion. Results:All patients successfully completed the operation, the operation time was 228.5±41.8 min, the intraoperative blood loss was 355.6±46.7 ml, and the number of fusion segments was 5.5±0.8. Follow-up duration was 35.5±13.2 months. A total of 140 pedicle screws were inserted, with an accuracy of 97.1% (136/140). The Cobb angle of cervicothoracic scoliosis was 53.9°±17.9° preoperatively, 11.3°±4.4° in the model design, 10.8°±2.6° one week postoperatively, and 14.5°±3.5° at the last follow-up, with statistical significance ( P<0.001). The preoperative and postoperative one week difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001) with a correction rate of 78.6%±6.7%. The Cobb angle of compensatory scoliosis was 33.1°±12.1° before surgery, 11.9°±2.4° for model design, 10.5°±3.4° for one week after surgery, and 14.1°±2.5° for the last follow-up, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.001). The postoperative correction rate was 65.2%±16.2%. The Cobb angle of local kyphosis was 27.8°±9.8° preoperatively, 10.1°±2.1° in the model design, 9.8°±1.9° one week postoperatively, and 12.7°±1.6° at the last follow-up, with statistical significance ( P<0.001). The preoperative and postoperative one week difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001) with a correction rate of 59.2%±18.9%. The preoperative and postoperative one week difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001) with a correction rate of 78.6%±6.7%. The neck tilt angle was 20.6°±6.7° preoperatively, 6.2°±1.9° in the model design, 5.9°±2.1° one week postoperatively, and 7.1°±1.4° at the last follow-up, with statistical significance ( P<0.001). The preoperative and postoperative one week difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001) with a correction rate of 70.0%±11.1%. The T 1 inclination angle was 20.2°±5.8° preoperatively, 11.5°±3.1° in the model design, 10.2°±2.3° one week postoperatively, and 9.5°±3.0° at the last follow-up, with statistical significance ( P<0.001). The preoperative and postoperative one week difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001) with a correction rate of 53.2%±10.4%. There was no significant difference between preoperative design and actual measurement one week after surgery ( P>0.05). At the last follow-up, the scores of self-image (4.6±0.7), mental health (4.7±0.6) and treatment satisfaction (4.6±0.6)in SRS-22 scale were significantly improved compared with those before operation ( P<0.05). The symptoms of hemivertebra ipilateral C 8 nerve root injury occurred in 1 patient, who was treated conservatively with dehydration, hormones and nutraceutical drugs, and recovered to normal at 3 months follow-up. At the last follow-up, the appearance of the head, neck and shoulders of the patients was improved compared with that before surgery, the bone grafts have achieved osseous fusion in all patients. All fusion were grade I by Eck criterion. No complications such as serious neurological or vascular injury occurred during perioperative period. No pseudoarthrosis formation, internal fixation loosening or fracture occurred during follow-up. Conclusion:The application of 3D printing combined with O-arm navigation assistance technology in posterior hemivertebra resection and correctional surgery for cervicothoracic hemivertebra deformities can display the deformities in advance, stereoscopic and real-time, accurately place pedicle screws and complete hemivertebra resection, improve surgical safety and deformity correction rate.

Polymyxin B, which is a last-line antibiotic for extensively drug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections, became available in China in Dec. 2017. As dose adjustments are based solely on clinical experience of risk toxicity, treatment failure, and emergence of resistance, there is an urgent clinical need to perform therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) to optimize the use of polymyxin B. It is thus necessary to standardize operating procedures to ensure the accuracy of TDM and provide evidence for their rational use. We report a consensus on TDM guidelines for polymyxin B, as endorsed by the Infection and Chemotherapy Committee of the Shanghai Medical Association and the Therapeutic Drug Monitoring Committee of the Chinese Pharmacological Society. The consensus panel was composed of clinicians, pharmacists, and microbiologists from different provinces in China and Australia who made recommendations regarding target concentrations, sample collection, reporting, and explanation of TDM results. The guidelines provide the first-ever consensus on conducting TDM of polymyxin B, and are intended to guide optimal clinical use.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of satellite rod revision surgery via a combined anterior and posterior approach for rod fracture after posterior vertebral column resection (PVCR) in patients with severe thoracolumbar kyphosis.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted on the clinical data of 11 patients with rod fracture after PVCR for severe thoracolumbar kyphosis, who were treated in Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from January 2013 to January 2021. There were 6 males and 5 females, with the age range of 21-62 years [(35.4±13.0)years]. Among them, 4 patients had traumatic kyphosis, 4 presented congenital kyphosis and 3 showed tuberculous kyphosis. All the patients had obvious low back pain. According to the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) score, 2 patients were found with grade C, 2 with grade D and 7 with grade E. All the patients underwent revision surgery for internal fixation using satellite rod via a combined anterior and posterior approach. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss and postoperative hospital stay were recorded. The imaging parameters such as kyphosis Cobb angle, scoliosis Cobb angle, distance between C 7 plumb line and central sacral vertical line (C 7-CSVL), and distance between C 7 plumb line and sagittal vertical axis (SVA) were measured preoperatively, at 1 week postoperatively and at latest follow-up. At the same time, the visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry dysfunction index (ODI), and simplified Chinese version of the scoliosis research society-22 (SRS-22) questionnaire were used to evaluate the clinical efficacy. At the latest follow-up, the osteotomy fusion was evaluated by Suk criterion and ASIA score was used to evaluate the recovery of neurological function. The complications were also recorded for the patients. Results:All the patients were followed up for 24-84 months [(47.5±16.2)months]. The operation time was 100-220 minutes [(149.4±37.6)minutes], with the intraoperative blood loss of 150-350 ml [(246.3±64.6)ml] and the postoperative hospital stay of 5-8 days [(6.1±1.1)days]. The kyphosis Cobb angles [(18.5±3.2)° and (19.3±2.9)°] and the scoliosis Cobb angles [(11.8±2.2)°, (11.1±2.2)°] at 1 week post-operation and at the latest follow-up were all improved significantly compared with the preoperative ones [(60.4±6.3)°, (21.7±5.5)°] (all P<0.01), with the average correction rates being 69.4% and 45.6%, respectively, with no significant differences between 1 week post-operation and latest follow-up (all P>0.05). The C 7-CSVL was reduced from preoperative (21.2±4.3)mm to (15.7±2.4)mm at 1 week post-operation, and to (15.9±2.2)mm at the latest follow-up (all P<0.01). The SVA was improved from preoperative (51.0±6.8)mm to (16.6±3.6)mm at 1 week post-operation, and to (15.3±3.9)mm at the latest follow-up (all P<0.01). There were no significant differences in C 7-CSVL or SVA at 1 week post-operation or at the latest follow-up (all P>0.05). The VAS [(2.5±0.9)points, (1.9±0.9)points], ODI (20.1±5.4, 18.4±5.2) and SRS-22 [(83.4±5.8)points, (85.0±4.1)points] at 1 week post-operation and at the latest follow-up were significantly improved compared with the preoperative ones [(6.0±1.4)points, 57.2±8.7, (62.0±9.1)points] (all P<0.01), but no significant differences were found between 1 week post-operation and latest follow-up (all P>0.05). At the latest follow-up, the bone grafts achieved osseous fusion in all the patients, and the ASIA grade was improved from grade C to grade D in 2 patients and from grade D to grade E in 2 patients. No complications such as serious neurological or vascular injury occurred during perioperative period. No pseudoarthrosis formation, internal fixation loosening or fracture occurred during follow-up. Conclusion:Satellite rod revision surgery via a combined anterior and posterior approach for rod fracture after PVCR in patients with severe thoracolumbar kyphosis has the advantages of less trauma and faster convalescence, excellent results of deformity correction, significant pain relief, functional improvement, and fewer complications.

Klein-Levin syndrome (KLS) is a rare disease characterized by recurrent episodes of hypersomnia and cognitive and behavioral dysfunction. In addition, all functions remain intact during the intermittent period. Infection is a common risk factor for its onset. In this case, a 17-year-old patient with KLS was admitted to our hospital in March 2023 who first developed KLS symptoms and relapsed after being infected with influenza A Virus (H1N1). Based on the typical symptoms occurred during the patient′s attack, the absence of symptoms and signs during the interval, and the absence of other triggers, the patient was diagnosed with KLS recurrence secondary to influenza A Virus (H1N1). This case report aims to reveal that influenza A Virus (H1N1) may be contribute to the recurrence of KLS and that preventing infection is important in the treatment of KLS to draw the attention of clinical physicians.
