Objective:To analyze the changes in the prevalence characteristics of multimorbidity among adolescents aged 13-18 in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region from 2019 to 2022 and to explore the association between multimorbidity and moderate to high-intensity physical activity among them.Methods:A stratified random cluster sampling method was used to select students aged 13-18 in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region every September from 2019 to 2022. Physical examinations, demographic characteristics, and depression-related surveys were conducted to analyze the multimorbidity of overweight, obesity, high blood pressure, myopia, spinal curvature abnormality, and depression. A logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between multimorbidity and moderate to high-intensity physical activity.Results:From 2019 to 2022, 70 972, 62 923, 80 254, and 78 288 study subjects were included, with the rates of multimorbidity being 56.4%, 55.4%, 57.2%, and 55.8%, respectively. The rates of multimorbidity remained relatively stable from 2019 to 2022 ( χ2=0.06, P=0.950). The incidence of multimorbidity among girls was significantly higher than that among boys ( P<0.001). The incidence of multimorbidity among urban students was significantly higher than that among suburban students ( P<0.001). The incidence of multimorbidity among high school students was higher than that among middle school students ( P<0.001). The top three multimorbidity combinations were myopia and overweight/obesity (26.4%), myopia and high blood pressure (24.4%), and myopia and depression (19.8%), while the least common combination was depression and spinal curvature abnormality (1.1%). The multimorbidity patterns showed no significant differences between years ( χ2=0.03, P=0.999). The multimorbidity status was significantly associated with the status of meeting the standard of moderate to high-intensity physical activity ( OR=0.83, 95% CI: 0.80-0.86). The association was stronger in boys ( OR=0.77, 95% CI: 0.73-0.81) compared with girls ( OR=0.90, 95% CI: 0.85-0.96), with a significant interaction term ( P<0.001). Conclusion:From 2019 to 2022, the incidence of multimorbidity among adolescents aged 13 to 18 in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is relatively high, mainly due to the co-occurrence of myopia and other health problems. Adequate physical activity is an important factor in reducing multimorbidity.

Objective:To explore the effects of stepwise acute pain management on acute pain and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in children with burns.Methods:From November 2018 to December 2019, 196 children with burns who were admitted to West China Hospital of Sichuan University and met the inclusion criteria were enrolled in the prospective randomized controlled study. The children were divided into traditional pain management group (97 children, 51 males and 46 females, aged 1 to 6 years) and stepwise pain management group (96 children, 55 males and 41 females, aged 1 to 6 years) according to the random number table. Children in traditional pain management group were treated with traditional acute pain care, while the children in stepwise pain management group were treated with stepped acute pain management (moderate pain was treated with oral administration of acetaminophen sustained-release dry suspension at the dose of 10 to 15 mg/kg once every 4 to 6 hours, and severe pain was treated with morphine intravenous injection at the dose of 0.1 to 0.2 mg/kg once every 4 hours) on the basis of traditional acute pain care after admission. The COMFORT behavior scale was applied to compare the resting pain levels of children in the two groups within post injury day (PID) 3 (1, 9, and 17 o'clock each day). The adverse reactions of children in the stepwise pain management group during the treatment period were recorded. The occurrence of PTSD within one month after injury was evaluated in both groups by the revised PTSD scale. Data were statistically analyzed with independent sample t test, Bonferroni correction, analysis of variance for repeated measurement, chi-square test, Wilcoxon rank sum test, and Fisher's exact probability test. Results:The pain scores of children in stepwise pain management group were significantly lower than traditional pain management group at 1, 9, and 17 o'clock on PID 1, 1, 9, and 17 o'clock on PID 2, and 1, 9, and 17 o'clock on PID 3 ( t=2.71, 3.44, 4.05, 4.18, 4.08, 4.19, 4.25, 3.69, 3.71, P<0.05 or P<0.01). The pain scores of children in both groups showed a decreasing trend over time. Of the 96 children in stepwise pain management group, 84 children were treated with oral administration of acetaminophen sustained-release dry suspension, and 12 children were treated with morphine intravenous injection. No adverse reaction occurred during the treatment period. The incidence of PTSD of children in stepwise pain management group within 1 month after injury was 3.12% (3/96), which was significantly lower than 14.43% (14/97) in traditional pain management group, P<0.05. Conclusions:The stepped acute pain management can relieve the acute pain and reduce the incidence of PTSD in children with burns.

Objective:To investigate the current status and influencing factors of kinesiophobia in adult burn patients.Methods:A single center cross-sectional research method was conducted. A total of 170 adult burn patients, meeting the inclusion criteria, were admitted to the Department of Plastic Surgery and Burns of the West China Hospital of Sichuan University from October 2018 to December 2019. On admission, the self-made general information questionnaire was used to investigate the gender, age, education level, marital status, payment method of medical expenses, injury factors, and total burn area of patients. One month after admission or before discharge, the presence and degree of kinesiophobia of patients were evaluated by the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK), their pain degrees (results averaged) at the time of burn, debridement and dressing change, after burn operation, and at rest were evaluated by the Visual Analogue Scale, their social support levels were evaluated by the Social Support Revalued Scale, and their degrees of anxiety and depression were evaluated by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. According to the TSK score, the patients with score >37 points were included into kinesiophobia group, and the patients with score ≤37 points were included into non-kinesiophobia group. The general information of patients in the two groups, as well as the pain score, social support level score, anxiety score, and depression score mentioned above, were recorded. Data of patients between the two groups were statistically analyzed with unifactor analysis including chi-square test, independent sample t test, and Mann-Whitney U test. The factors with statistically significant differences in unifactor analysis were used as variables for multivariate logistic regression analysis to screen out the independent influencing factors of kinesiophobia in adult burn patients. Results:Questionnaires and scales of 170 patients were collected, and the recovery rate was 100%. The data of two patients complicated with cranial fracture aggravation were removed, and 168 valid data were obtained, with the effective rate of 98.82%. Among the 168 patients, 88 were male (52.38%) and 80 were female (47.62%), aged from 18 to 71 (41±6) years. Most of the patients had secondary school education or below, were married, and with no out-of-pocket medical expenses. The main factors of injury were flame and hydrothermal fluid, and the total burn area was 2%-75% ((28±5)%) total body surface area. The TSK score was (41±5) points, the pain score was 4.0 (2.6, 7.0) points, the social support level score was (40±5) points, the anxiety score was 8.5 (7.0, 13.0) points, and the depression score was 9.5 (6.5, 12.0) points. A total of 98 patients had kinesiophobia, and the incidence of kinesiophobia was 58.33%. There were no statistically significant differences in gender, age, educational level, marital status, or injury factors of patients between kinesiophobia group and non-kinesiophobia group ( P>0.05). The percentage of out-of-pocket expenses, total burn area, pain score, anxiety score, and depression score of patients in kinesiophobia group were significantly higher than those in non-kinesiophobia group ( χ2=6.402, t=2.39, Z=-8.05, -6.68, -7.89, P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the social support level score of patients in kinesiophobia group was significantly lower than that in non-kinesiophobia group ( t=5.22, P<0.01). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that total burn area, pain score, social support level score, anxiety score, and depression score were the independent influencing factors for the development of kinesiophobia in adult burn patients (odds ratio=0.79, 1.45, 0.78, 1.15, 1.17, 95% confidence interval=0.80-0.92, 1.24-1.74, 0.65-0.91, 1.06-1.29, 1.03-1.24, P<0.01). Conclusions:The incidence of kinesiophobia in adult burn patients is high, and the degree of kinesiophobia is mainly affected by total burn area, pain, social support level, anxiety and depression degrees, and so on. Thus these factors should be taken into consideration when designing interventions to reduce the incidence and degree of kinesiophobia.

Objective To screen and identify the aptamers of the recombinant transpeptidase domain of PBP2a(penicillin binding protein 2a ,PBP2a) .Methods By using the recombinant transpeptidase domain of PBP2a as the screening target ,oligonucle-otides which were capable of specifically binding to the protein were screened by a random oligonucleotide library through the stem -atic evolution of ligand by exponential enrichment (SELEX )technique .The ssDNA was cloned and sequenced ,and the secondary structure of aptamer clones was predicted with mfold program .Results After 11 cycles of the selection ,the aptamers which were capable of binding to PBP2a with high affinity have been selected .40 clones from the 8 and 10 cycles were selected randomly and se-quenced .The aptamers obtained had no obvious homology according to their sequences by the sequence alignments ,and the 40 aptamers were classified to three groups according to their secondary structures .The aptamer 13 was found to be specific for the target protein with the highest affinity .Conclusion Aptamers for the recombinant transpeptidase domain of PBP2a with high affili-ty and specificity were successfully screened by SELEX ,which lays a foundation for exploring new ways of diagnosis and treatment of MRSA infection .

Objective To explore the clinical manifestations and epidemiological profiles of hospitalized infants with Bordetella pertussis infection and to improve the knowledge for its early diagnosis and treatment.Methods Using a retrospective analysis method,the data of 142 hospitalized infants with Bordetella pertussis infection in Shenzhen Children's Hospital from 2011 to 2013 were collected,which was confirmed by a real-time polymerase chain reaction(PCR) of nasopharyngeal secretion.The SPSS 16.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results Of the 142hospitalized infants with Bordetella pertussis infection,the ratio of male to female was 2.1∶ 1.0 (96/41 cases).Ninetythree (65.5％) cases were aged less than 3 months old,26 cases (18.3％) were 3-6 months old and 23 cases (16.2％) were 6-36 months old.One hundred and twenty-six (88.7％) patients were unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated.The most common clinical manifestation was paroxysmal cough which accounts for 104/142 (73.2％) cases,and 6 cases of which had roaring(4.2％).Peripheral blood WBC level of 83 cases increased,and 75 (90.4％) cases were lymphocytosis.The positive rate of X-ray was 60.6％.Eighty-one cases were complicated with bacteria,respiratory virus or mycoplasma pneumonia infection.There were significant differences in symptom of fever and infection of respiratory tract pathogen among 3 groups.The symptom of fever in the group aged less than 3 months old group was significantly lower than the other 2 groups (x2 =11.45,P ＜ 0.01 ;x2 =34.56,P ＜ 0.01),and 6-36 months old group was significantly higher than the other 2 groups(x2 =7.590,P ＜ 0.01 ;x2 =6.928,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions Bordetella pertussis is an important pathogen for the infants with persistent cough,especially in unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated infants,but the clinical manifestation and signs of pertussis are atypical,which may lead to a misdiagnosis and delay proper treatment.As a rapid and sensitive method of detecting Bordetella pertussis,PCR may be used for early diagnosis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the predictive value of heart rate turbulence(HRT) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI).MethodsNinety-two AMI patients combined with DM (DM group) and 120 AMI patients without DM (non-DM group) were selected.Turbulence onset (TO) and turbulence slope (TS) were two indexes of HRT.HRT was considered positive when TO was ≥0 and TS was ≤2.5 ms/R-R.The differences in clinical data between HRT-positive and HRT-negative patients were compared.And the related risk factors after AMI were analyzed.ResultsAge,left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) level,renal insufficiency,LVEF＜40％,standard deviation of sinus cardiac cycle (R-R interval)(SDNN),heart rate variability (HRV) positiveand HRT indexes (TO,TS) between HRT-positive and HRT-negative patients in DM group had significant differences (P ＜ 0.05 ).Age,LVEF level,SDNN and HRT indexes(TO,TS) between HRT-positive and HRT-negative patients in non-DM group had significant differences(P ＜ 0.05).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that renal insufficiency (OR=4.8,95％ CI:1.8 - 10.7,P=0.008) and HRT positive (OR=3.7,95％ CI:1.5 - 8.6,P=0.070) in DM group had statistical significance.And HRT positive in non-DM group had statisticalsignificance(OR=23.0,95％ CI:5.2 ～ 86.0,P ＜ 0.01 ).ConclusionsHRT,an index of dynamic electrocardiogram,can predict the risk in patients with DM or without DM after AMI.
