AIM To establish an HPLC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous residue determination of 11 plant growth regulators(PGRs)in Renshen Guben preparations,and to conduct a risk assessment.METHODS The analysis was performed on a 40 ℃ thermostatic ACQUITY UPLC ? Waters HSS T3 column(2.1 mm×100 mm,1.8 μm),with the mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.1％formic acid(containing 5 mmol/L ammonium formate)flowing at 0.30 mL/min in a gradient elution manner,and electro spray ionization was employed in both positive and negative ion scanning,with multiple reaction monitoring mode.The chronic and acute exposure risk values of the detected PGRs were calculated and assessed based on residue levels,health guidance values,and exposure estimates.RESULTS Eleven PGRs exhibited good linear relationships within their own ranges(R2 ≥ 0.990),whose average recoveries were 70.0％-120.0％,with RSDs all below 12.0％.In both oral liquid and pill forms,mepiquat chloride showed the highest average residue levels,while sodium 5-nitroguaiacolate exhibited the highest acute risk value(0.765 7,0.908 1)and chronic risk value(0.023 1,0.027 0).CONCLUSION Although PGRs residues are detected in Renshen Guben preparations,all levels remained within safe limits.

Objective:To explore the differences in early clinical features between Kawasaki disease shock syndrome (KDSS) and septic shock (SS).Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted. Clinical data was collected from 64 children who were diagnosed with KDSS or SS and admitted to the Department of Critical Care Medicine of Capital Center for Children′s Health, Capital Medical University from January 2018 to February 2025. Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test, or Fisher′s exact test were used to compare the differences in clinical features, treatment, and outcomes between children with KDSS and SS. Lasso regression was applied to screen predictive variables, and multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with KDSS. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of parameters for KDSS. Results:Among the 64 children (30 males and 34 females), the age was 3.6 (1.2, 6.5) years. There were 51 cases in the SS group and 13 cases in the KDSS group. Compared to children with SS, children with KDSS had a longer pre-shock fever duration, lower lactate levels and serum albumin levels, and higher soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) levels (all P<0.05). Additionally, they exhibited a higher incidence of coronary involvement, pericardial effusion, and ascites, a higher utilization rate of intravenous immunoglobulin, and a lower utilization rate of invasive mechanical ventilation (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in in-hospital mortality between KDSS and SS ( P=0.574). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified pre-shock fever duration and sIL-2R as independent factors associated with KDSS ( OR=1.52 and 1.54 per 1 000 U increase, 95% CI 1.12-2.05 and 1.06-2.24, respectively; both P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under the curve for pre-shock fever duration and sIL-2R in identifying KDSS were 0.83 (95% CI 0.73-0.94, P=0.001) and 0.70 (95% CI 0.53-0.87, P=0.042), respectively. The optimal cutoff values were 3.5 d and 3.8×10 6 U/L, with sensitivities of 0.91 and 0.82, and specificities of 0.71 and 0.62, respectively. Conclusions:Children with KDSS have higher incidences of coronary involvement, pericardial effusion, and ascites compared to those with SS. Pre-shock fever duration and sIL-2R may serve as potential early indicators for distinguishing KDSS from SS.

Objective To explore the effect of the pneumatic and electric hand training system with multiple sensory stimulation mo-dalities combined with low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on hand movement and tactile pressure sensation in patients with stroke.Methods From May,2023 to October,2024,62 stroke patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of University of South China were randomly divided into control group(n=31)and experimental group(n=31).Both groups received conventional rehabilitation,and 1 Hz low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in the primary cerebral motor cortex on the unaffected side,while the experimental group received the pneumatic and electric hand training system with multiple sensory stimulation modalities in addition,for four weeks.They were as-sessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremities(FMA-UE),Motor Assessment Scale(MAS),Semmes Weinstein Monofilament Test(SWMT)and modified Barthel index(MBI)before and after treatment.Results One case dropped out in control group and one in the experimental group.After treatment,the scores of FMA-UE,MAS,SWMT and MBI increased in both groups(|t|>5.464,P<0.001),expect the score of SWMT in the control group(P>0.05),and all scores were better in the experimental group than in the control group(|t|>2.195,P<0.05).Conclusion The pneumatic and electric hand training system with multiple sensory stimulation modalities combined with low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation can improve the motor and tactile pressure func-tion of stroke patients,and improve their activity of daily living.

Objective:To analyze the there-dimensional radiographic characteristics of odontogenic myxoma(OM).Methods:Clinical records,histopathological reports,SCT or CBCT images of 18 patients with OM were retrospectively collected,and radiograph-ic features including lesion site,shape,size,expansion,intralesional septa and relationship with surrounding tissues were analyzed.The lesions were classified into types by the forms of septa.Results:18 patients(8 males and 10 females,aged 9-39 years old)were included.Among them,12 lesions(66.7％)were round-like in shape,7(38.9％)were located in the posterior maxilla,and 8(44.4％)in the posterior mandible.According to the septa map,the lesions included 4(22.2％)without septum(unilocular type),4 with(22.2％)sporadic septum on the periphery of the tumor(peripheral type),4(22.2％)with the septum from the periphery towards the center of the tumor(centripetal type)and 6(16.7％)with multiple septa interwoven as grid-like trabeclations(criss-crossing tup).Labial/buccal cortex expansion was present in 11 lesions(61.1％),and palatal cortex expansion in 12 lesions(66.7％).Moreover,cortex discontinuity occurred in 14 lesions(77.8％),impacted tooth was present in 9 lesions(16.7％),and root resorption was present in 8 lesions(44.4％).Conclusion:Most OMs occur in the posterior jaw,with multilocular and discontinued cortex.OMs can be classified into unilocular,perpheral,centripetal and cirss-crossing type by the forms of septa in the lesion.

Objective:An in vivo mammalian hepatocyte Unscheduled DNA Synthesis(UDS)test was used to evaluate the genotoxicity of Cross-linked Sodium Hyaluronate Gel and Bone Repair Materials,providing experimental evidence for establishing a UDS testing method for medical devices and materials.Methods:0.9％sodium chloride injection and cottonseed oil were used as the solvent for test materials and negative control,respectively.N-dimethylnitrosamine(NDMA)was used as the positive control for the early sampling times,and 2-acetylaminofluorene(2-AAF)was used as the positive control for the late sampling times.SD rats were administered a single dose for toxic exposure,and liver tissues were collected at 4 h and 16 h,respectively.Hepatocytes were isolated using collagenase perfusion.After labeling with 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine(EdU),and the net average fluorescence intensity(NAFI)of cell nuclei and nucleoplasm was measured by fluorescence microscope.Data from 50 cells were used to analyze the DNA repair level.Results:Compared with the negative control groups,the positive control groups(NDMA and 2-AAF)showed highly statistically significant differences in NAFI(P＜0.01),indicating successful induction of DNA damage.There was no statistically significant differences between the cross-linked sodium hyaluronate gel groups,bone repair material groups and the negative control group(P＞0.05),suggesting that these materials did not significantly induce DNA damage under the experimental conditions.Conclusion:This study first applied EdU labeling technology to the in vivo hepatic UDS assay,achieving non-radioactive labeling through click chemistry reactions.Under the conditions of this study,cross-linked sodium hyaluronate gel and bone repair materials did not exhibit genotoxicity.In the follow-up,the sample range can be expanded and the observation period can be prolonged to further improve the genotoxicity evaluation system of medical devices.

Objective:To explore the value of paediatric age-adjusted shock index（SIPA）in early identification of septic shock in children，and to evaluate the relationship between SIPA and disease severity and prognosis.Methods:The infected children admitted to the department of critical care medicine of the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics from May 2023 to July 2024 were collected. Dynamic assessment was performed 0 to 6 hours after admission. Patients diagnosed with sepsis without septic shock were classified as the sepsis group and those diagnosed with sepsis with septic shock were classified as the septic shock group. According to whether the blood pressure of the children decreased，they were divided into two groups：compensated septic shock group and decompensated septic shock group. The difference of SIPA among the three groups was analyzed，and the predictive value of SIPA on case fatality rate，lactate level，pediatric critical illness score，ventilator utilization rate and length of hospital stay were analyzed.Results:Among 203 children with sepsis，112 were males and 91 were females. There were 146 cases in the sepsis group，37 cases in the compensated septic shock group and 20 cases in the decompensated septic shock group. There was no significant difference between the three groups in gender（ P>0.05），but there was a statistically significant difference in age（ χ 2=32.905， P<0.001）. There was no significant difference in age between the sepsis group and the compensated septic shock group（ P>0.05）. The age of sepsis group and decompensated septic shock group，compensated septic shock group and decompensated septic shock group were statistically significant（ χ 2=29.431， P<0.001； χ 2=19.764， P=0.001）. The proportion of increased SIPA was statistically different among the three groups，with both the compensated septic shock group and the decompensated septic shock group being higher than the sepsis group（ χ2=20.383， P<0.001； χ2=33.600， P<0.001）. The decompensated septic shock group was higher than the compensated septic shock group（ χ2=6.555， P=0.01）. SIPA was correlated with case fatality rate，lactate level，pediatric critical illness score，ventilator use rate and length of stay of the children，with statistically significant differences（ P<0.05）. Conclusion:The increase of SIPA can be used for the early identification of septic shock in children，and it has a certain early warning value for the prognosis assessment of sepsis and septic shock.

Recent studies have identified a missense mutation in the β1-receptor (ADRB1-A187V) that exerts a pronounced impact on human sleep, with a noted decrease in protein abundance in vivo. The administration of β-blockers is frequently associated with sleep disturbances in clinical settings. In this study, we assessed the influence of various β-blockers on sleep within mouse models. Our findings indicated that β-blockers could induce varying degrees of arousal, sleep disruption, and a decrease in REMS (rapid eye movement sleep). We examined the dose-dependent effects of metoprolol and nebivolol on both sleep and cardiac functionality in both wild-type and Adrb1-A187V mutant mice. Our data suggested that, in contrast to cardiac effects, higher doses of metoprolol are required to have noted impact on sleep. No genotype effect was observed with metoprolol in terms of sleep or cardiac function. In contrast, the mutant mice demonstrated increased sensitivity to nebivolol, which exacerbated sleep fragmentation and impeded the onset of REMS. This study is expected to provide some reference for minimizing the occurrence of sleep disorders and reducing the adverse reactions of drugs to the greatest extent.

Objective: To explore the current status of hyperopic reserve and its related factors among non-myopia preschool and primary school students aged 5 to 12 years in Guangdong Province, so as to provide a basis for formulating intervention strategies for the pre myopia stage of children. Methods: From October to December 2023, by using stratified cluster random sampling method, a survey on hyperopic reserve among preschool children and primary school students in Guangdong were conducted. And a total of 10 567 children from the senior class of kindergarten to the sixth grade of primary school who completed autorefraction measurements with and without cycloplegia and the questionnaire survey were included in the study. The prevalence characteristics of low hyperopic reserve among non-myopia children were analyzed, and multivariable Logistic regression was used to analyze the related factors. Results: The prevalence rate of low hyperopic reserve among 8 790 non-myopia children was 62.4%. The average spherical equivalent (SE) for children aged 5 to 12 years was 0.88 (0.25, 1.25)D, decreasing from 1.13 ( 0.75 , 1.50)D in senior kindergarten to -1.00 (-2.50, 0.38)D in sixth grade, with the difference was statistically significant ( H=2 475.3, P <0.01). Multivariable Logistic regression analysis, after adjusting for confounders including gender, urban and rural, and grade, revealed that parental myopia was a risk factor for low hyperopic reserve in the preschool stage (one parent with myopia: OR=1.62, 95%CI =1.35-1.93; both parents with myopia: OR=2.05, 95%CI = 1.66 -2.55); in the lower primary school stage, parental myopia (one parent with myopia: OR=1.46, 95%CI =1.27-1.68; both parents with myopia: OR=1.58, 95%CI =1.33-1.89), frequently or always reading or using electronic screens while lying down or on one s stomach ( OR=1.43, 95%CI =1.13-1.81), and never or occasionally maintaining a viewing distance of over 3 meters when watching TV/playing video games ( OR=1.34, 95%CI =1.04-1.72) were risk factors; in the higher primary school stage, failing to take a break every hour during near work ( OR=1.79, 95%CI =1.16-2.75) was a risk factor (all P <0.05). Conclusions The emmetropization of children aged 5-12 years in Guangdong Province is accelerated, and non-myopia children generally exhibit insufficient hyperopic reserve. The contributing factors for insufficient hyperopia reserve in non-myopia children vary across different educational stages, necessitating targeted precision interventions.
