This study analyzed the epidemiological characteristics and trends of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections among inpatients with acute respiratory infections (ARI) in a children′s hospital in Shenzhen City inpatients from 2020 to 2023. From January 2020 to December 2023, multiple reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) combined with capillary electrophoresis fragment analysis technology was used to detect the nucleic acids of 12 respiratory pathogens, including RSV, in hospitalized children diagnosed with ARI. The patients were divided into six age groups: 0 to <6 months, 6 months to <1 year, 1 to <2 years, 2 to <5 years, 5 to <10 years, and 10 to <18 years. A total of 53 033 children were tested, including 6 830 RSV positive cases, with an overall positivity rate of 12.88%. The annual RSV positivity rates from 2020 to 2023 were 20.04%, 16.18%, 4.89%, and 13.33%, respectively, with statistically significant differences between the years ( χ2=1 185.994, P<0.001). The positive rate of RSV detection decreased with increasing age across all years (all P trend<0.05). From 2020 to 2023, the proportion of RSV-positive cases aged 2 to 5 years and older showed an increasing trend ( P trend<0.001 for all years). Compared to 2023, the median age of RSV-infected children was lower in 2020 ( Z=7.826, P<0.001) and 2021 ( Z=6.106, P<0.001). The proportion of severe infections requiring ICU admission did not change significantly across all years ( χ2=0.179, P=0.981). The RSV epidemic season in 2020 mainly occurred during 28-43 weeks, and in 2021, it spanned from 22-43 weeks. However, in 2022, the season was delayed until the 49th week and lasted for three weeks. In 2023, the seasonal epidemic appeared earlier, starting in the 14th week and lasting for 28 weeks. From 2020 to 2023, the rate of RSV co-infections with other pathogens (mycoplasma pneumoniae, human parainfluenza virus, human bocavirus, human coronavirus, human metapneumovirus, and influenza A) significantly increased (all P trend<0.01). In conclusion, the epidemiological characteristics of RSV infections in Shenzhen Children′s Hospital changed from 2020 to 2023. In 2022, there were only delayed, low-intensity and short-lived seasonal epidemics. However, in 2023, there was an earlier and prolonged epidemic, with increased infections in children aged 2 to 5 years and older and a rise in co-infections, while the proportion of severe infections requiring ICU admission remained unchanged.

Objective:To explore the short-term oncological efficacy of the total prostatic urethra preservation（TPUP）technique in laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and its impact on postoperative urinary continence rate.Methods:The clinical data of 17 prostate cancer patients admitted to Shaoxing People’s Hospital from July 2023 to July 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The age was（70.5 ± 6.5）years，the body mass index was（23.6 ± 2.5）kg/m 2，and the prostate-specific antigen（PSA）level was（7.845 ± 3.929）ng/ml. The preoperative biopsy pathological Gleason score were 6 in 8 cases，and 7 in 9 cases. All patients underwent laparoscopic radical prostatectomy，and the TPUP technique was used during the operation. The integrity of the preserved urethra was improved by preserving the prostatic surgical capsule closely attached to the corpus spongiosum of the urethra. During the operation，the urethra was completely preserved in 2 cases，nearly completely preserved in 14 cases，and partially preserved in 1 case. The recovery of urinary continence on the day of catheter removal and at 1 and 3 months after the operation was recorded. Recovery of urinary continence was defined as pad within 24 hours. PSA was re - examined at 6 weeks and 3 months after the operation. Results:All 17 operations in this study were successfully completed. The operation time was（143.6 ± 31.6）minutes，and the intraoperative blood loss was 50.0（20.0，50.0）ml. None of the cases was converted to open surgery，and no Clavien - Dindo grade ≥ 2 complications such as blood transfusion or intestinal injury occurred during the peri-operative period. The PSA levels at 6 weeks and 3 months after the operation were 0.054（0.008，0.215）ng/ml and 0.008（0.005，0.037）ng/ml，respectively. The indwelling catheter time after the operation was（13.4 ± 2.1）days. The number of cases with recovered urinary continence on the day of catheter removal and at 1 and 3 months after the operation was 10，15，and 17，respectively.Conclusions:The TPUP technique in laparoscopic radical prostatectomy leads to good recovery of postoperative urinary continence，and there is a slowly PSA decrease in the short term.

Objective:To investigate the current situation of the use of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) for portal hypertension, which should aid the development of TIPS in China.Methods:The China Portal Hypertension Alliance (CHESS) initiated this study that comprehensively investigated the basic situation of TIPS for portal hypertension in China through network research. The survey included the following: the number of surgical cases, main indications, the development of Early-TIPS, TIPS for portal vein cavernous transformation, collateral circulation embolization, intraoperative portal pressure gradient measurement, commonly used stent types, conventional anticoagulation and time, postoperative follow-up, obstacles, and the application of domestic instruments.Results:According to the survey, a total of 13 527 TIPS operations were carried out in 545 hospitals participating in the survey in 2021, and 94.1% of the hospital had the habit of routine follow-up after TIPS. Most hospitals believed that the main indications of TIPS were the control of acute bleeding (42.6%) and the prevention of rebleeding (40.7%). 48.1% of the teams carried out early or priority TIPS, 53.0% of the teams carried out TIPS for the cavernous transformation of the portal vein, and 81.0% chose routine embolization of collateral circulation during operation. Most of them used coils and biological glue as embolic materials, and 78.5% of the team routinely performed intraoperative portal pressure gradient measurements. In selecting TIPS stents, 57.1% of the hospitals woulel choose Viator-specific stents, 57.2% woulel choose conventional anticoagulation after TIPS, and the duration of anticoagulation was between 3-6 months (55.4%). The limitation of TIPS surgery was mainly due to cost (72.3%) and insufficient understanding of doctors in related departments (77.4%). Most teams accepted the domestic instruments used in TIPS (92.7%).Conclusions:This survey shows that TIPS treatment is an essential part of treating portal hypertension in China. The total number of TIPS cases is far from that of patients with portal hypertension. In the future, it is still necessary to popularize TIPS technology and further standardize surgical indications, routine operations, and instrument application.

ObjectiveTo clarify the relationship between intestinal flora and intestinal motility in rats with slow transit constipation （STC） and qi stagnation syndrome by conducting a pseudo-sterile experiment and fecal microbiota transplantation （FMT） technology. MethodsTwenty-four Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal group （n=6）， STC with qi stagnation pattern group （n=6） and pseudo-sterile group （n=12）. In the STC group with qi stagnation pattern， 3 mg/kg of loperamide suspension by intragastric administration combined with tail clamping stimulation were performed to establish the rat model of STC with qi stagnation pattern. After successful modeling， fresh feces from the rats in the STC with qi stagnation pattern group and the normal group were collected to prepare 100 mg/ml of fecal bacterial suspension. In the pseudo-sterile group， the antibiotic cocktail method was used （a mixed antibiotic suspension containing bacitracin， streptomycin sulfate， and neomycin sulfate at 20 mg/ml each was administered intragastrically） to establish pseudo-sterile rats model. After successful modeling， the rats were randomly divided into normal fecal bacterial liquid group and STC with qi stagnation pattern fecal bacterial liquid group， with six rats in each group， and then were given 10 ml/kg of the prepared corresponding rat fecal bacterial suspension by gavage. Rats in STC with qi stagnation pattern group were given an equal volume of sterile water by gavage. All groups were administered once a day for 7 consecutive days. The small intestinal propulsion rate of the STC with qi stagnation pattern group， the normal fecal bacterial liquid group， and STC with qi stagnation pattern fecal bacterial liquid group were compared. ELISA method was used to detect serum 5-hydroxytryptamine （5-HT） levels. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the positive expression levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 receptor （5-HT3R） and 5-hydroxytryptamine 4 receptor （5-HT4R） in colon tissue. Western blot method was used to detect the protein expression levels of tryptophan hydroxylase 1 （TPH1）， tryptophan hydroxylase 2 （TPH2）， serotonin transporter （SERT）， and monoamine oxidase A （MAO-A） in colon tissue. ResultsCompared to those in the normal fecal bacterial liquid group， the small intestinal propulsion rate， serum 5-HT level， positive expression of 5-HT3R and 5-HT4R in colon tissue， and protein expression of TPH1， TPH2， SERT and MAO-A significantly decreased in the STC with qi stagnation pattern group and STC with qi stagnation pattern fecal bacterial liquid group （P＜0.05）. There was no statistically significant difference in the indicators between the STC with qi stagnation pattern group and STC with qi stagnation pattern fecal bacterial liquid group （P＞0.05）. ConclusionThe intestinal flora in STC rats with qi stagnation pattern can lead to a slowdown in intestinal transmission function， whose mechanism may be related to intestinal motility disorders affected by the synthesis， transport， metabolism and other pathways of 5-HT.

Objective:To explore the risk factors for lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD) in children with thalassemia major (TM) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).Methods:This was a retrospective case-control study.A total of 482 children with TM who underwent allo-HSCT at Shenzhen Children′s Hospital between January 2020 and December 2022 were selected and classified into the PTLD and non-PTLD groups according to the occurrence of PTLD.The risk factors for PTLD after allo-HSCT in children with TM were analyzed, and the diagnostic efficiency of relevant risk factors for PTLD was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:A total of 25 out of 482 patients (5.2%, 25/482) developed PTLD about 114 (54-271) days after allo-HSCT.Among them, 12 cases (12/25, 48.0%) occurred within 100 days, and 22 cases (22/25, 88.0%) occurred within 1 year after allo-HSCT.Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in gender composition, type of transplant donor, number of natural killer cells and B lymphocytes in peripheral blood at 30 days after allo-HSCT, positive rate of plasma Epstein-Barr virus deoxyribonucleic acid (EBV-DNA) and incidence rate of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) between the 2 groups (all P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that female ( OR=3.196, 95% CI: 1.144-8.929), positive plasma EBV-DNA ( OR=17.523, 95% CI: 5.449-56.344) and aGVHD ( OR=3.156, 95% CI: 1.161-8.575) were independent risk factors for PTLD after allo-HSCT in TM children (all P<0.05).The ROC curve analysis showed that positive plasma EBV-DNA had an excellent accuracy in predicting the occurrence of PTLD after allo-HSCT (sensitivity was 0.796, specificity was 0.800, area under the curve was 0.803).If combined with aGVHD and gender, the area under the curve for the prediction of PTLD increased to 0.831. Conclusions:Female, positive plasma EBV-DNA and aGVHD are independent risk factors for PTLD after allo-HSCT in children with TM.It provides useful early warnings for the prediction and prevention of PTLD.

The UK screening and treatment of retinopathy of prematurity(ROP)updated 2022 guidelines were developed by a multidisciplinary guideline development group from the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health and the Royal College of Ophthalmologists,following the standards of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence.They were published on the websites of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health and the Royal College of Ophthalmologists in March 2022,and formally published in Early Human Development in March 2023.The guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations for the screening and treatment of ROP.The most significant change in the 2022 updated version compared to the previous guidelines is the lowering of the gestational age screening criterion to below 31 weeks.The treatment section covers treatment indications,timing,methods,and follow-up visits of ROP.This article interprets the guidelines and compares them with ROP guidelines/consensus in China,providing a reference for domestic peers.

Objective To analyze and compare the changes in local functional activity of the brain under different recovery times after a 90-day,-6° head down bed rest(HDBR)experiment,clarify the mechanism of brain function remodeling during gravity adaptation,and provide imaging basis and guidance for the model construction and health assessment.Methods 36 healthy male volunteers underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging(rs-fMRI)scans before HDBR(PRE),3 days after 90-day HDBR(R+3),and 26-28 days after 90-day HDBR(R+26-28),and calculated regional homogeneity(ReHo)and low-frequency amplitude(ALFF)and perform statistical analysis between different time points.Results Compared with PRE-status,ReHo value in the left inferior parietal gyrus and ALFF value in the right posterior cingulate gyrus decreased significantly in R+3 status,while ReHo value in the left calcarine,right lingual gyrus and ALFF value in the precuneus,left paracentral lobule,and right postcentral gyrus increased significantly.At R+26-28 status,more brain areas showed significant changes.Conclusion 90 days of long-term HDBR and subsequent recovery will lead to changes in the neural functional activities of the brain's default network,sensorimotor network and visual network,and obvious adaptive remodeling will occur after a longer period of gravity re-adaptation and recovery.

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.
