ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical characteristics and imaging features of effectively treated pediatric Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia （MPP） with pulmonary consolidation， follow up the volume changes of pulmonary consolidation on lung CT scans of the affected children， and investigate the resolution patterns of pulmonary consolidation， and predict the time required for complete resolution. MethodsWe enrolled children with MPP and pulmonary consolidation hospitalized in the Department of General Pediatrics at Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University between January 2018 and May 2024. Data collected included demographics， clinical symptoms， laboratory indicators， treatment status， imaging data during hospitalization， as well as follow-up lung CT data and reexamination intervals after discharge. Consolidation volumes were measured before and after the treatment to calculate the resolution rate and resolution velocity. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed on clinical characteristics， imaging features and consolidation resolution. ResultsAmong 238 children with MPP and lung consolidation， females slightly outnumbered males （the male to female ratio is 109 vs.129）， with a mean age of approximately 5 years. At admission， the median cough and fever durations were 7 （5-9） days and 6 （ 4-7） days， respectively. No significant increase was found in white blood cells count or lactate dehydrogenase（LDH）， and hypersensitive high-sensitivity C-reactive protein （CRP） slightly increased. Azithromycin was the first line of treatment in most cases， though second-line drugs increased in the recent two years due to the rising resistance. Bronchoalveolar lavage was performed in 66.8% （159/238） of children， and 33.2% （79/238） did not receive lavage. Consolidation was predominantly unilateral （206 unilateral vs. 32 bilateral） and right-sided （117 right-sided vs. 89 left-sided）. The ratio of consolidation volume to total lung volume was 4.48 （2.61-7.35） %， the consolidation resolution rate at follow-up was 96.08 （ 88.02-98.95） %， the reexamination interval was 17 （ 15-21） days， the resolution velocity was 2.15 （1.23-4.01） cm³/d， and the time to complete resolution was 18.96 （16.14-23.33） days . ConclusionsPulmonary consolidation in pediatric MPP achieves substantial resolution on CT within 2-3 weeks after effective clinical treatment. Initial consolidation volume and resolution velocity can predict the time required for complete resolution， thereby clinically guiding optimal CT follow-up scheduling.

Speech imagery is an emerging brain-computer interface (BCI) paradigm with potential to provide effective communication for individuals with speech impairments. This study designed a Chinese speech imagery paradigm using three clinically relevant words-"Help me", "Sit up" and "Turn over"-and collected electroencephalography (EEG) data from 15 healthy subjects. Based on the data, a Channel Attention Multi-Scale Convolutional Neural Network (CAM-Net) decoding algorithm was proposed, which combined multi-scale temporal convolutions with asymmetric spatial convolutions to extract multidimensional EEG features, and incorporated a channel attention mechanism along with a bidirectional long short-term memory network to perform channel weighting and capture temporal dependencies. Experimental results showed that CAM-Net achieved a classification accuracy of 48.54% in the three-class task, outperforming baseline models such as EEGNet and Deep ConvNet, and reached a highest accuracy of 64.17% in the binary classification between "Sit up" and "Turn over". This work provides a promising approach for future Chinese speech imagery BCI research and applications.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in clinical practice. It has a high prevalence and poor prognosis. The application of antiarrhythmic drugs and even surgery cannot completely treat the disease, and there are many sequelae. AF can be classified into the category of "palpitation" in Chinese medicine according to its symptoms. Acupuncture has a significant effect on AF. The authors find that an important mechanism of acupuncture in AF treatment is to regulate the cardiac vagus nerve. Therefore, this article intends to review the distribution and function of vagus nerve in the heart, the application and the regulatroy effect for the treatment of AF.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) diseases are common clinical conditions. The number of patients with TMJ diseases is large, and the etiology, epidemiology, disease spectrum, and treatment of the disease remain controversial and unknown. To understand and master the current situation of the occurrence, development and prevention of TMJ diseases, as well as to identify the patterns in etiology, incidence, drug sensitivity, and prognosis is crucial for alleviating patients′suffering.This will facilitate in-depth medical research, effective disease prevention measures, and the formulation of corresponding health policies. Cohort construction and research has an irreplaceable role in precise disease prevention and significant improvement in diagnosis and treatment levels. Large-scale cohort studies are needed to explore the relationship between potential risk factors and outcomes of TMJ diseases, and to observe disease prognoses through long-term follw-ups. The consensus aims to establish a standard conceptual frame work for a cohort study on patients with TMJ disease while providing ideas for cohort data standards to this condition. TMJ disease cohort data consists of both common data standards applicable to all specific disease cohorts as well as disease-specific data standards. Common data were available for each specific disease cohort. By integrating different cohort research resources, standard problems or study variables can be unified. Long-term follow-up can be performed using consistent definitions and criteria across different projects for better core data collection. It is hoped that this consensus will be facilitate the development cohort studies of TMJ diseases.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.
