OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical manifestations and genetic etiology of a fetus with Neurodevelopmental disorders with deformed facial features and distal skeletal abnormalities (NEDDFSA). METHODS: Clinical data of a NEDDFSA fetus diagnosed at the Affiliated Women and Children's Hospital Affiliated to Ningbo University in March 2025 was selected as the study subject. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was carried out on the amniotic fluid and parental peripheral blood samples, and candidate variants was verified by Sanger sequencing. The pathogenicity of candidate variant was rated based on guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG). This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the hospital (Ethics No.: EC2023-094). RESULTS: At 30 weeks of gestation, the fetus was found to have microcephaly, short femur and intrauterine growth restriction. WES revealed that the fetus harbored a de novo heterozygous frameshift variant c.2633dup (p.Gly879ArgfsTer22) of the ZMIZ1 gene, which was rated as pathogenic (PM2_Supporting+PS2_Supporting+PVS1). Combined with 25 cases from the literature, the main manifestations of patients have included intellectual disability, growth retardation and cranio-limb skeletal dysplasia, albeit without clear genotype-phenotype correlation. CONCLUSION The de novo variant c.2633dup (p.Gly879ArgfsTer22) of the ZMIZ1 gene probably underlay the NEDDFSA in this fetus. Genetic testing has enabled accurate prenatal diagnosis and provided evidence for genetic counseling and reproductive guidance of this family.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of measles cases in the measles elimination stage and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention, control, diagnosis and treatment of measles. Methods The descriptive epidemiological method was used to analyze the clinical characteristics of 442 confirmed measles cases in Hebei Province from 2018 to 2020. Results Among the 442 measles cases, the main symptoms were rash (96.61%), fever (90.50%), cough (56.11%), and Koplik spots (30.09%). Complications were mainly pneumonia (12.22%). There were significant differences in symptoms among different age groups (P < 0.05). The incidence of symptoms in children under 5 years old (except cough) was higher than that in other age groups. Immunization history had no significant impact on the symptoms of fever and rash (P > 0.05), but the incidence of symptoms such as cough, conjunctivitis, Koplik's spots and catarrhal rhinitis in the immunized group was lower than that in the non-immunized group (P < 0.05). The group with an interval of 0 days from fever to rash was the largest, and the proportion of people with an immunization history in the 0-day group (68.06%) was significantly higher than that in the 3-4-day group (49.44%) (P < 0.05). Pneumonia complications were mainly concentrated in children under 5 years old (87.03%), and most of the cases had a 0-dose immunization history (81.48%). Conclusion In the measles elimination stage, the incidence of fever and rash in cases is relatively high, while the incidence of Koplik spots is relatively low. The symptoms are more obvious in the younger age group. Vaccination can reduce the incidence of specific symptoms. The change in the time of rash appearance suggests that the diagnosis and treatment plan need to be adjusted. This study provides key data support for the formulation of measles prevention, control and treatment strategies.

Objective: To analyze adverse event following immunization(AEFI) with the domestic bivalent human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine among female students in primary, junior, and senior high schools in Hebei Province from 2022 to 2024, aiming to provide evidence for the vaccination program. Methods: On May 14, 2025, AEFI case data and vaccination data for the domestic bivalent HPV vaccine among female students in primary, junior, and senior high schools in Hebei Province from 2022 to 2024 were collected from the China Disease Control and Prevention Information System and the Hebei Provincial Immunization Program Information Management System, respectively. Statistical analysis was performed by using descriptive and analytical epidemiological methods, with intergroup comparisons conducted by using the Chi square test or Fisher s exact probability test. Results: From 2022 to 2024, a total of 817 900 doses of the domestic bivalent HPV vaccine were administered to female students in primary, junior, and senior high schools in Hebei Province. A total of 68 AEFI cases were reported, comprising 57 common vaccine reactions, 7 rare vaccine reactions, 3 coincidental events, and 1 psychogenic reaction. The overall AEFI reporting rate was 8.31 per 100 000 doses, 4 cases (2.30/100 000 doses), 31 cases (8.73/100 000 doses), and 33 cases (11.41/100 000 doses) were reported in 2022, 2023, and 2024, respectively, with a statistically significant difference across years ( χ 2=10.97, P <0.01). The reporting rates for common and rare vaccine reactions were 6.97 per 100 000 doses and 0.86 per 100 000 doses, respectively. The AEFI reporting rates were 15.14 per 100 000 doses among primary school girls and 8.20 per 100 000 doses among secondary school girls, though the difference was not statistically significant (Fisher s exact test, P =0.30). The reporting rate was higher after the first dose (10.91/100 000 doses) than after the second dose (5.96/100 000 doses; χ 2=5.85, P =0.02).The second quarter recorded the highest AEFI reporting rate at 11.21 per 100 000 doses. The majority of AEFI cases (56 cases, 82.35%) occurred within 24 hours post vaccination. Conclusion The domestic bivalent HPV vaccine demonstrates a favorable safety profile among female students in Hebei Province, with a low overall AEFI reporting rate that consisted predominantly of general reactions and occasional cardiac related reactions.

Objective: To investigate the associations between childhood obesity and performance of six minute walk test (6MWT), providing evidence for exercise tolerance assessment and exercise intervention strategies for children and adolescents. Methods: From March 2021 to December 2023, a cohort study was conducted among students recruited from a primary and secondary school in Chongqing, a total of 709 valid samples were included. The 6MWT was used to assess exercise tolerance, with vital signs measured before and after the test. Anthropometric indicators, including height, weight, and waist circumference, were measured using standardized procedures. Generalized additive models (GAM) and restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression were employed to analyze the nonlinear relationships between obesity related indicators and six minute walk distance (6MWD). Results: The mean 6MWD of participants was (602.59±70.73)m. GAM showed that after adjusting for confounding factors, body mass index (BMI) and weight had non linear relationships with 6MWD [effective degrees of freedom were 1.55 and 7.13 respectively], and overweight/obesity was associated with a decrease in 6MWD ( β =-18.65) (all P <0.01). Further RCS regression analysis showed that both BMI and weight showed an "inverted U shaped" non linear relationship with 6MWD in the overall population and sex stratified subgroups; the 6MWD of females was lower than that of males, and it showed a significant downward trend with the increase of BMI or weight (all P <0.05). Conclusion Body weight and BMI in children and adolescents have an important impact on 6MWD, and obesity in children and adolescents is markedly associated with decline in exercise tolerance.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) features of cardiac sarcoidosis (CS).Methods:This retrospective study included 8 consecutive patients with pathologically confirmed CS by endomyocardial biopsy from Fuwai Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, between January 2012 and September 2024. All patients underwent comprehensive CMR examinations including cine imaging and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging. Clinical data, including electrocardiographic findings, were collected. CMR phenotyping was performed based on imaging characteristics, and cardiac structure and function parameters were evaluated. LGE analysis was conducted using the American Heart Association 17-segment model to assess the distribution patterns and involvement sites.Results:The most common clinical symptoms were chest tightness (4 patients), palpitations (4 patients), and shortness of breath (6 patients). Electrocardiographic abnormalities included atrioventricular block in 4 patients, right bundle branch block in 2 patients, left bundle branch block in 2 patients, frequent premature ventricular contractions in 4 patients, and non-sustained ventricular tachycardia in 5 patients. CMR phenotyping revealed hypertrophic cardiomyopathy pattern in 3 patients, with 2 patients maintaining normal biventricular function and 1 patient showing significantly reduced biventricular systolic function. Dilated cardiomyopathy pattern was identified in 4 patients, all demonstrating significantly impaired biventricular systolic function. One patient exhibited another phenotype with preserved biventricular systolic function. LGE analysis demonstrated that the anterior wall and anterior septum (segments 1, 2, 7, 8) were the most frequently involved regions, followed by the lateral and inferior walls (segments 5, 6, 11, 12). Subepicardial involvement was the predominant pattern of myocardial enhancement.Conclusions:Cardiac sarcoidosis exhibits diverse clinical manifestations and heterogeneous imaging characteristics. CMR not only provides a comprehensive assessment of cardiac structure and function but also reveals distinctive myocardial tissue characteristics, particularly the extent and distribution patterns of LGE involvement. These findings have significant reference value for early identification of CS and differential diagnosis from other cardiomyopathies.

Objective To establish an expert consensus on the management of mini-midline catheters(hereinafter referred to as the'consensus')to guide nurses in standardizing the insertion and maintenance of mini-midline catheters.Methods Evidence was systematically retrieved,scientifically evaluated,and synthesized using evidence-based methods to draft the initial version of the consensus.From December 2023 to July 2024,totally 2 rounds of expert correspondence and 2 rounds of expert panel discussions were conducted to revise the content,resulting in the final version.Results There were 17 experts from tertiary A general hospitals in Beijing,Shanghai,Hunan,Hubei,Sichuan,Jiangsu,Hainan,Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region,and Shandong participating in the consultation,with a 100％response rate.In the 2 rounds of expert correspondence,the authority coefficients were 0.947 and 0.962,respectively.The mean importance scores of all items exceeded 4.00 points.The coefficients of variation(CV)were 0-0.32(first round)and 0-0.15(second round).Kendall's concordance coefficients were 0.097 and 0.101(both P＜0.001).The consensus covers 11 sections,including definition,indications,contraindications,qualification training,pre-insertion preparation,catheter insertion,catheter use,catheter maintenance,catheter removal,prevention and management of common complications,and health education.Conclusion The Consensus demonstrates scientific rigor and comprehensively addresses key procedures before,during,and after the insertion of mini-midline catheters,providing actionable guidance for nurses in catheter insertion and maintenance.

Objective:To explore the clinical and imaging features of the concomitant gastric-type endocervical adenocarcinoma(G-EAC)in female patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome(PJS),so as to improve the early diagnostic level for PJS.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical and imaging data of 12 patients who were confirmed as PJS with G-EAC at Air Force Medical Center,PLA from June 2021 to December 2024.The 12 patients all received computed tomography(CT)examination before surgery,and 6 cases among of them received magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)examination at the same time.The features of clinical performance,and imaging features of CT and MR in all patients were analyzed.Results:In 12 G-EAC patients,7 cases(58.3%)did not occurred any abnormally relative symptoms of gynaecology and obstetrics,while 5 cases(41.7%)occurred increase of vaginal drainage and/or vaginal bleeding.The results of imaging examination indicated that 12 cases occurred concomitant cyst,including 5 cases(41.7%)with large cysts,6 cases(50.0%)that micro cysts coexisted with large cysts,1 case(8.3%)that solid mass combined with small amount of micro cysts,and 4 cases(33.3%)that combined with small amount of uterine cavity effusion.MR performance was the most of occurrences were quasi-circular object with long T1/T2 signals,and the sequences of diffusion weighted imaging(DWI)appeared there was no diffusion or mild restriction,and apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)appeared slightly high signal.The tumors that mainly were solid components appeared longer T2 signals,which diffusion was limited,and which ADC values appeared low signals.CT images of them presented enlarged cervixes,and mixed-density cystic and solid nodules and mass shadows at local tissues,and cellular change at local lesions.There was not significant strengthen at the cystic fields of the lesion with enhanced scan,and the solid fields appeared uneven enhancement.The accuracy rates both of preoperative CT and MR diagnosis were 50.0%.Conclusion:The clinical appearance,and imaging futures of CT and MR examinations of PJS female patients with G-EAC are respectively:partial patients occur vaginal drainage and/or vaginal bleeding,the most of tumors often occurs at the entire cervix(includes upper segment),often combines with cystic changes,and often appears infiltrating growth.The clinical PJS appearance,CT and MR examinations contribute to early diagnosis for G-EAC.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of Lingshu acupuncture combined with acupoint injection in the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis and its effect on lumbar function.Methods A total of 186 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis who were admitted to the People's Hospital of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region from January 2021 to January 2024 were selected as the study subjects.According to different treatment methods,the patients were divided into control group A(given chiropractic massage combined with acupoint injection),control group B(given ordinary acupuncture combined with acupoint injection)and observation group(given Lingshu acupuncture combined with acupoint injection),with 62 cases in each group.Before treatment,1 week and 2 weeks after treatment,the lumbar pain,lumbar function,lumbar dysfunction and traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)symptom scores of the three groups were observed,as well as the changes of clinical efficacy and recurrence rate before and after treatment.Results The total clinical effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group B and the control group A[91.94%(57/62)vs.79.03%(48/62),56.45%(35/62)],and the 12-month recurrence rate was significantly lower than that of the control group B and the control group A[14.52%(9/62)vs.29.03%(18/62),37.10%(23/62)],the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).With the extension of random treatment time,the visual analogue scale(VAS),lumbar Oswestry dysfunction index(ODI)score and TCM symptom score of the three groups gradually decreased,and the low back pain score gradually increased,reaching the lowest and highest levels after two weeks of treatment.The changes in the observation group were more significant than those in the control group B and the control group A[VAS score:2(1,2)vs.3(2,4),4(3,5),ODI score:37.05±3.18 vs.39.26±2.75,41.30±2.98,TCM symptom score:5.97±1.74 vs.7.03±2.22,8.45±2.27,low back pain score:16.39±2.98 vs.14.23±2.84,13.02±2.51],and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).Conclusion Lingshu acupuncture combined with acupoint injection can relieve pain,restore lumbar function and accelerate the rehabilitation process in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis.
