Growth and development-related diseases result from the interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors. The collaboration between healthcare, sports, and education sectors integrates multidisciplinary resources and strengths to promote standardized diagnostic and therapeutic processes. This approach establishes a comprehensive closed-loop system encompassing early screening and referral, diagnosis and comprehensive evaluation, intervention and support plan formulation, as well as long-term management andoutcome assessment. It provides systematic scientific support for the healthy growth of children and adolescents, shifting disease intervention to the subclinical stage. Against the backdrop of societal informatization and intelligent development, this diagnostic and therapeutic model not only safeguards the holistic health of children and adolescents but also offers novel perspectives and feasible pathways for managing growth and development-related diseases. The implementation of this systematic diagnostic and therapeutic paradigm presents an innovative solution with Chinese characteristics for addressing such conditions, while injecting new vitality into the advancement of national health initiatives.

The growth and development of children is an important stage for health, and its monitoringand intervention are related to the long-term development of individuals. The construction of a standardized and multi-dimensional database of pediatric growth and development-related diseases is an important basis for realizing precise diagnosis and treatment and health management. Based on the needs of clinical practice, this study proposes to establish a specialized database of pediatric growth and development-related diseases that integrates facial phenotypes and clinical diagnosis and treatment information. This study elaborates on the construction process, including data sources, data collection content, and the operation and management of the database; and proposes key points for quality control, including the establishment of quality control nodes, database construction standards, and a full-process quality control framework. The above ensure the integrity, logic and effectiveness of the data, so that the database can provide an objective basis for the screening and diagnosis of pediatric growth and development-related diseases. On the basis of scientific data management and strict quality control, the database will help reveal the patterns of children's growth and development, and promote the level of children's health management.

Objective:To investigate the effect and preliminary mechanism of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP) on the immune response to sepsis induced by liver abscess in mice. Methods:C57BL/6 mice were intraperitoneally injected with hvKP strain NTUH-K2044 or classical Klebsiella pneumoniae (cKP) strain HS11286 suspension to prepare the model of sepsis. The survivals rates of mice within 24 h were recorded. HE staining was used to observed the inflammatory cell infiltration in mouse liver tissues. The levels of neutrophil marker lymphocyte antigen 6G (Ly6G) in mouse liver tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry. The activity of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in mouse liver macrophages and peripheral blood monocytes was measured by ROS assay kit. The activation of p105/p50 and p65 in NF-κB signaling pathway in mouse liver macrophages and peripheral blood monocytes was detected by Western blot. The expression of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α at mRNA and protein levels in mouse liver macrophages and peripheral blood monocytes were detected by qRT-PCR and ELISA, respectively. One-way analysis of variance and t test were used for statistical analysis. Results:Compared with cKP, hvKP infection could induce C57BL/6 mice to develop obvious liver abscess with massive inflammatory cell infiltration. Moreover, the level of Ly6G in liver tissues was significantly higher in hvKP-infected mice than in cKP-infected mice ( P<0.000 1), but the survival rate of hvKP-infected mice was significantly lower than that of cKP-infected mice ( P<0.000 1). hvKP significantly promoted the ROS activity ( P<0.000 1) and enhanced the phosphorylation of p105/p50 and p65 in NF-κB signaling pathway in mouse liver macrophages and peripheral blood monocytes as compared with cKP ( P<0.001). The expression of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α at mRNA and protein levels in mouse liver macrophages and peripheral blood monocytes were significantly higher in hvKP-infected mice than in cKP-infected mice ( P<0.001). Conclusion:hvKP can promote the development of liver abscess and induce sepsis in mice.

Objective:This study aimed to evaluate to evaluate the performance of equilibrium dialysis combined with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for the accurate measurement of free testosterone in clinical samples. Mthods We conducted a prospective observational study using 161 serum samples from healthy women of reproductive 26(24, 32)years at the Gynecology Outpatient department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital from June to September 2024, and their concentrations were determined. In this study, after equilibrium dialysis of serum samples, free testosterone was extracted from the dialysate using a magnetic bead-based method. It was then directly derivatized using hydroxylamine hydrochloride in situ after elution from the magnetic bead and further quantified by LC-MS/MS.Method:validation assessed linearity, limit of quantification (LOQ), precision, accuracy, matrix effects, and carryover according to established guidelines. Data were analyzed using Origin 2019 and WPS Office 2019.Results:The method demonstrated excellent linearity ( R2>0.99) across 1-250 pg/ml with an LOQ of 1 pg/ml. The coefficients of variation for both intra-day and inter-day imprecision were less than 10% while recovery rates ranged from 92.60% to 99.10%. Matrix effect deviations were all within the range of 6% and carryover was negligible. Conclusions:In this study, the established method of magnetic bead-based extraction followed by in situ derivatization combined with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry performed well, and could be further applied to the detection of free testosterone concentration in childbearing age women.

Objective:To summarize the clinical manifestations of anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS) with interstitial lung disease (ILD) patients with different antibody subtypes and the skeletal muscle pathology of ASS.Methods:A total of 106 ASS-ILD patients admitted to the First Medical Center of Chinese People′s Liberation Army General Hospital from May 11, 2015 to June 25, 2023 were included. Their intramuscular and extramuscular clinical manifestations were collected. The correlation between different antibody subtypes in patients with ASS and the various subtypes of ILD was investigated. The skeletal muscle pathological characteristics of 13 ASS patients were also summarized.Results:Among the 106 ASS-ILD patients, 56 (52.8%) were anti-JO-1 antibody positive, 19 (17.9%) were anti-PL-7 antibody positive, 11 (10.4%) were anti-PL-12 antibody positive, 14 (13.2%) were anti-EJ antibody positive, and 6 (5.7%) were anti-OJ antibody positive. All the patients had ILD [including nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP), organizing pneumonia (OP), mixed pneumonia]. In all the patients, 46.2% (49/106) had cardiac damage, 37.7% (40/106) had arthritis, 29.2% (31/106) had myasthenia gravis, 24.5% (26/106) had myalgia, and 19.8% (21/106) had Raynaud′s phenomenon. The incidence of NSIP was 75.0% (42/56) in the anti-JO-1 antibody-positive group, significantly higher than other groups (anti-PL-7 antibody-positive group, 8/19;anti-PL-12 antibody-positive group, 3/11;anti-EJ antibody-positive group, 5/14;anti-OJ antibody-positive group, 2/6; P=0.001). UIP was most common in the anti-PL-7 antibody-positive group (8/19). OP was most frequent in the anti-PL-12 antibody-positive group (5/11). The incidence of arthritis was highest in the anti-JO-1 antibody-positive group (51.8%, 29/56). The anti-Ro-52 antibody-positive rate was significantly higher in the anti-EJ antibody-positive group (12/14) than in the other 4 groups [anti-JO-1 antibody-positive group, 33.9% (19/56); anti-PL-7 antibody-positive group, 10/19; anti-PL-12 antibody-positive group, 6/11; anti-OJ antibody-positive group, 0/6; P=0.001]. ASS skeletal muscle pathology was manifested as necrotizing myopathy pattern (6/13), inflammatory myopathy pattern (4/13), and nonspecific myopathy pattern (3/13). All the 106 patients received methylprednisolone as the basic treatment. Among them, 69 patients (65.1%) received methylprednisolone alone, while 37 patients (34.9%) received combination therapy involving immunosuppressants, whose symptoms improved after treatment. Conclusions:A discernible correlation exists between the clinical manifestations of ASS with ILD and specific antibody subtypes. ASS patients generally respond well to immunotherapy. ASS can manifest as 3 distinct skeletal muscle pathological patterns: necrotizing myopathy pattern, inflammatory myopathy pattern, and nonspecific myopathy pattern.

Objective:To explore the clinical application value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided wire localization to the non-palpable breast lesions (NPBL) identified on MRI only.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted. A total of 171 patients with NPBL identified on MRI only who underwent MRI-guided wire localization from April 2017 to May 2024 in Shaanxi Provincial Cancer Hospital were collected. All patients had breast MRI Breast Imaging Report and Data System (BI-RADS) 4a and above lesions, and underwent MRI-guided wire localization within the same menstrual cycle within 2 days to 2 months after diagnostic MRI examination. Based on postoperative pathological results, the MRI characteristics of benign and malignant lesions were compared, and the clinical application value of MRI-guided wire localization was evaluated.Results:There were 179 lesions in 171 patients, including 54 malignant lesions (30.17%) and 125 benign lesions (69.83%). There was no statistically significant difference in the enhancement morphology between pathological benign and malignant NPBL lesions ( χ2 = 0.04, P = 0.982), while there were statistically significant differences in breast background parenchymal enhancement, lesion time-signal intensity curve and BI-RADS classification ( χ2 values were 32.03, 20.72 and 37.60, respectively, all P < 0.05). Conclusions:For NPBL that is identified on MRI only and evaluated as BI-RDADS 4a or above, MRI-guided wire localization can improve the accuracy of diagnosis and treatment of intraductal carcinoma, early invasive cancer and high-risk lesions.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) combined with sodium hyaluronate solution for facial microdroplet injection in improving facial skin photoaging.Methods:A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. From January to July 2024, patients with facial photoaging problems were recruited from the Plastic Surgery Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University and randomly divided into a monotherapy group (sodium hyaluronate solution droplet injection) and a combination therapy group (BTX-A + sodium hyaluronate solution droplet injection) by hierarchical block randomization method. The treatment regimen was 3 months, with one treatment for each month, with a total of 3 treatment. The combination therapy group only used a combination therapy of two drugs (BTX-A 25 U+ 5 ml sodium hyaluronate solution) during the first injection. During the three treatments of the monotherapy group and the second and third treatments of the combination therapy group, 5 ml of sodium hyaluronate solution was injected as the solo ingredient. Follow up was conducted at 1, 2, and 4 months after the last treatment. Serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were detected by test kit. Five skin texture indicators (moisture content, transepidermal water loss rate, elasticity, glossiness, and pH) were evaluated using the German CK skin tester. VISIA skin detector was used for facial two-dimensional photography and skin condition analysis. Clinical efficacy (significant improvement, obvious improvement, improvement, no improvement) and global aesthetic improvement scale (GAIS) scores on a 5-point scale were recorded. Patient satisfaction levels (very satisfied, satisfied, and dissatisfied) were investigated. The data were analyzed using SPSS 27.0 software. Count data was presented as examples and(or) percentages, and analyzed using a chi-square test. Normal distribution measurement data was represented by Mean±SD and analyzed using t-test. Results:A total of 100 patients were included, with 50 cases in each group. There were 17 males and 33 females in the monotherapy group, with an age of (31.3±7.1) years, and there were 5, 14, 29 and 2 patients in the Ⅰ to Ⅳ types of Glogau skin photoaging classification, respectively. There were 15 males and 35 females in the combination therapy group, with an age of (32.1±8.4) years old, and there were 4, 15, 27 and 4 patients in the Ⅰ to Ⅳ types of Glogau skin photoaging classification, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in gender composition, age, and Glogau skin photoaging classification between the two groups (all P>0.05). One month after the first treatment, both groups showed an increase in SOD activity and a decrease in MDA levels, with more significant changes observed in the combination therapy group ( P<0.01 for both). At the follow-up of 1, 2, and 4 months after the last treatment, the combination therapy group outperformed the monotherapy group in all 5 skin texture indicators (all P<0.05). One month after the last treatment, the total effective rate of the combination therapy group was 76.0% (38/50), which were significantly higher than that of the monotherapy group’s 50.0% (25/50) ( P<0.05); in addition, the combination therapy group showed significant advantages in facial aesthetic GAIS scores, as well as patient satisfaction, with a satisfaction rate of up to 98.0% (49/50), which was higher than the 88.0% (44/50) of the monotherapy group ( P<0.01). Throughout the entire treatment process, neither group experienced serious adverse reactions. Conclusion:Facial microdroplet injection of BTX-A combined with sodium hyaluronate solution effectively improves symptoms of facial skin photoaging, enhancing skin hydration and elasticity, reducing transepidermal water loss, improving skin gloss, regulating skin pH, and enhancing skin antioxidant capacity, ultimately achieving facial skin rejuvenation. This method is safe, effective and holds high clinical relevence and patient satisfaction.
