Objective To investigate the effects of a 100 mT static magnetic field(SMF)on emotional behavior and brain damage-related molecules in mice.Methods Fifty-eight C57BL/6N mice were randomly divided into control group(n=25)and observation group(n=33).Mice in observation group were exposed to a 100 mT SMF for 0.5 h/d over 14 consecutive days,while mice in control group underwent pseudo-exposure.On the 7 and 14 days of exposure,anxiety-like behavior was assessed using open field and elevated plus maze tests.Cerebral blood flow was monitored using laser speckle imaging,and the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-4,central nervous system specific protein β(S100β),neuron-specific enolase(NSE),and brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)were measured by radioimmunoassay.BDNF expression in the brain was detected by immunofluorescence.Results On the 7 and 14 days of SMF exposure,the open field and elevated plus maze tests showed no statistically significant differences between observation and control groups in the frequencies,durations,and distance entering the central area of the open field and the open arm of the elevated plus maze(P>0.05).Laser speckle imaging revealed no significant difference in cerebral cortical perfusion compared with pre-exposure period(P>0.05).The results of radioimmunoassay showed that compared with control group,on the 7 d of SMF exposure,the serum IL-1β,NSE and S100β levels were significantly increased(P<0.05),the serum BDNF level was significantly decreased(P<0.05),and the IL-1β and TNF-α contents in brain tissues were significantly increased in observation group(P<0.01).On the 14 d of SMF exposure,serum IL-1β,TNF-α,NSE,and S100β levels were significantly increased(P<0.05,P<0.0001),and the brain IL-1β and TNF-α levels were significantly increased(P<0.01)in observation group.No statistically significant differences were found in anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-4 level of serum and brain tissue or BDNF content of brain tissue between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Continuous exposure to a 100 mT SMF for 14 d at 0.5 h/d induces neuroinflammation and brain damage in mice,without inducing anxiety-like behavior.

Objective:To investigate the impact of early invasive arterial blood pressure (IBP) monitoring on survival and neurological outcomes in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR).Methods:This retrospective cohort study analyzed 44 OHCA patients receiving ECPR between January 2021 and January 2023. Patients were divided into: Early intervention group : IBP established within 3 min of ECMO initiation; Late intervention group : IBP established after ICU admission. Baseline characteristics, ECMO parameters, and clinical outcomes were compared. Multivariable logistic regression (adjusted for age, initial rhythm, etc.) and Spearman's correlation were used.Results:This study included a total of 44 patients treated with OHCA and ECPR, divided into an early intervention group of 23 cases and a late intervention group of 21 cases. The early intervention group showed significantly higher: Survival to discharge (43.5% vs. 9.5%, P<0.05), Good neurological recovery (CPC 1-2: 34.8% vs. 9.5%, P<0.05).Early intervention independently predicted survival (adjusted OR=18.84, 95% CI:1.97-179.98, P=0.01). Stratified analysis by pH (cutoff 7.0) demonstrated consistent benefits in both pH>7.0 ( aOR=0.392, 95% CI:0.106-0.678) and pH≤7.0 subgroups ( aOR=0.385, 95% CI: 0.075-0.695; interaction P=0.183). Early IBP positively correlated with CPC scores ( ρ=0.40, P=0.007). Conclusions:Early IBP monitoring significantly improves survival and neurological outcomes in OHCA-ECPR patients, supporting its integration into standardized protocols.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of clinically isolated Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis in hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021,and provide evidence for rational use of antimicrobial agents.Methods Data of H.influenzae and M.catarrhalis strains isolated from 2015 to 2021 in CHINET program were collected for analysis,and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by disc diffusion method or automated systems according to the uniform protocol of CHINET.The results were interpreted according to the CLSI breakpoints in 2022.Beta-lactamases was detected by using nitrocefin disk.Results From 2015 to 2021,a total of 43 642 strains of Haemophilus species were isolated,accounting for 2.91％of the total clinical isolates and 4.07％of Gram-negative bacteria in CHINET program.Among the 40 437 strains of H.influenzae,66.89％were isolated from children and 33.11％were isolated from adults.More than 90％of the H.influenzae strains were isolated from respiratory tract specimens.The prevalence of β-lactamase was 53.79％in H.influenzae strains.The H.influenzae strains isolated from children showed higher resistance rate than the strains isolated from adults.Overall,779 strains of H.influenzae did not produce β-lactamase but were resistant to ampicillin(BLNAR).Beta-lactamase-producing strains showed significantly higher resistance rates to these antimicrobial agents than the β-lactamase-nonproducing strains.Of the 16 191 M.catarrhalis strains,80.06％were isolated from children and 19.94％isolated from adults.M.catarrhalis strains were mostly susceptible to both amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and cefuroxime,evidenced by resistance rate lower than 2.0％.Conclusions The emergence of antibiotic-resistant H.influenzae due to β-lactamase production poses a challenge for clinical anti-infective treatment.Therefore,it is very important to implement antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae and guide rational antibiotic use.All local clinical microbiology laboratories should actively improve antibiotic susceptibility testing and strengthen antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae.

Objective:To analyze the correlation between sex hormone levels and micropenis after mild hypospadias surgery in children.Methods:A case control study was carried out.The clinical data of 71 children aged 1 to 13 years who underwent mild hypospadias surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from April 2022 to April 2024 were analyzed.Preoperatively, the children were divided into a mild hypospadias group (Group A) and a mild hypospadias with micropenis group (Group B) based on the stretched penile length (SPL).Prolactin, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), progesterone, and testosterone (TES) levels of the 2 groups were measured.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to construct a risk prediction model.The discrimination capability of the model was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.SPL and sex hormone levels were measured again 6 months after surgery.The children were divided into a normal penile group (Group AA) and a micropenis group (Group BB) after mild hypospadias according to SPL.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to construct a risk prediction model, which was evaluated using the ROC curve.Results:The levels of FSH, LH and TES in group A before the operation were 3.28(2.02, 4.46) IU/L, 0.53(0.25, 0.79) IU/L and 25.24(17.94, 36.67) ng/dL, respectively, and those in group B were 1.42(1.10, 1.84) IU/L, 0.14(0.09, 0.23) IU/L and 15.73 (12.92, 17.00) ng/dL, respectively.The difference was all statistically significant (all P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed statistical significance ( OR=0.515, 95% CI: 0.271-0.977; OR=0.035, 95% CI: 0.002-0.542; OR=0.883, 95% CI: 0.796-0.980).The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of the prediction model was 0.906, with a sensitivity of 75.00% and a specificity of 95.74%.The levels of FSH, LH and TES in the postoperative AA group were 2.97 (1.88, 4.28) IU/L, 0.46 (0.23, 0.78) IU/L and 20.92 (17.34, 33.27) ng/dL, respectively.The median levels of FSH, LH and TES in the BB group were 1.52 (1.27, 1.82) IU/L, 0.17 (0.12, 0.26) IU/L and 15.08(11.68, 16.68) ng/dL, respectively.The difference was all statistically significant (all P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed statistical significance ( OR=0.484, 95% CI: 0.236-0.992; OR=0.061, 95% CI: 0.004-0.939; OR=0.891, 95% CI: 0.795-0.999).The AUC of the prediction model constructed was 0.877, with a sensitivity of 94.12% and a specificity of 68.52%. Conclusions:Lower FSH, LH and TES levels are risk factors for the micropenis after mild hypospadias surgery, and preoperative hormone levels have higher predictive value.

Debates persist regarding the efficacy and safety of azvudine, particularly its real-world outcomes. This study involved patients aged ≥60 years who were admitted to 25 hospitals in mainland China with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection between December 1, 2022, and February 28, 2023. Efficacy outcomes were all-cause mortality during hospitalization, the proportion of patients discharged with recovery, time to nucleic acid-negative conversion (T _NANC), time to symptom improvement (T _SI), and time of hospital stay (T _HS). Safety was also assessed. Among the 5884 participants identified, 1999 received azvudine, and 1999 matched controls were included after exclusion and propensity score matching. Azvudine recipients exhibited lower all-cause mortality compared with controls in the overall population (13.3% vs. 17.1%, RR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.67-0.90; P = 0.001) and in the severe subgroup (25.7% vs. 33.7%; RR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.66-0.88; P < 0.001). A higher proportion of patients discharged with recovery, and a shorter T _NANC were associated with azvudine recipients, especially in the severe subgroup. The incidence of adverse events in azvudine recipients was comparable to that in the control group (2.3% vs. 1.7%, P = 0.170). In conclusion, azvudine showed efficacy and safety in older patients hospitalized with COVID-19 during the SARS-CoV-2 omicron wave in China.
