ObjectiveThis paper aims to observe the syndrome improvement and negative antigen conversion rate of Qingxuan Daozhi formula in the treatment of influenza in children （heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome）. MethodsThrough a multi-center randomized controlled methodology design，confirmed influenza cases were collected from October 2022 to April 2023 in the pediatrics department of eight hospitals，such as Dongfang Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. A total of 180 children with influenza and heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome conforming to the standard were recruited through the clinic. The sick children meeting the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into groups by a block-randomized method. The children in the experimental group were treated with Qingxuan Daozhi formula for five days，and those in the control group were treated with Oseltamivir Phosphate Granules for five days. The primary efficacy indicator was the negative conversion rate of influenza antigen detection. Secondary efficacy indicators were the Canadian acute respiratory illness and flu scale （CARIFS） and the incidence of complications，severe cases， and critical cases. Follow-up observation was conducted on the day of enrollment，48 hours after medication，72 hours after medication， and （6+1） d after medication. ResultsOne hundred and eighty participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group （90 cases） or the control group （90 cases）. All participants were followed up during the study. Comparison of influenza antigen detection results in the primary efficacy indicators showed that the average time of negative influenza antigen conversion in the experimental group was （5.29±1.25） d，and that in the control group was （5.40±1.68） d，without a statistically significant difference. After five days of intervention，52 cases in the experimental group and 51 cases in the control group converted to negative，without a statistically significant difference. CARIFS score results in the secondary efficacy indicators showed that during 72 hours after intervention，there were statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in three dimensions， including headache，muscle soreness， and the need for extra care （P<0.05）. On the （6+1） days after the intervention，the differences in both the experimental group and the control group were statistically significant in 10 dimensions， including sore throat，bad sleep，uncomfortable feeling，poor spirit and fatigue，crying more than usual，the need for extra care，symptom，function，influence on parents，and total score （P<0.05）. The comparison results within the group in the dimensional scores of symptom， function， and influence on parents，as well as the CARIFS total score showed that with the delay of follow-up time，scores of both groups decreased significantly，with a statistically significant difference （P<0.01）. Inter-group comparison results showed that the mean score of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group at the time of enrollment. With the progress of intervention，the score of the experimental group was significantly decreased compared with that of the control group. At the end of follow-up，the mean score of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group，with no statistically significant difference. In terms of the incidence of complications，severe cases， and critical cases， there were no complications，severe cases， and critical cases in the two groups，without a statistically significant difference. ConclusionThe symptom improvement effect and negative antigen conversion rate of Qingxuan Daozhi formula in the treatment of influenza in children （heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome） are not inferior to Oseltamivir Phosphate granules， and children's acceptance is better. It can be more widely used in clinical treatment of influenza in children （heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome）.

Background The moderation role of environmental factors in the spread of hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD) has attracted much attention, but the existing conclusions are inconsistent. For example, some scholars believe that high temperature, high humidity, and high concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) and nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) increase the risk of HFMD, but other scholars have reached the opposite conclusion, or believe that there is no significant relationship. Objective Based on distributed lag nonlinear model (DLNM), to investigate the relationship between the incidence of HFMD and meteorological and air pollutant variables in Lianyungang City, and to provide scientific basis for early warning. Methods Daily data of meteorological factors and air pollutants in Lianyungang City from 2021 to 2024 were retrieved. Meteorological factors included average daily temperature, average wind speed, average air pressure, and relative humidity. Air pollutant indicators included PM_2.5, inhalable particulate matter (PM₁₀), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), NO₂, and ozone (O₃). Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze their correlations with HFMD, and the R package (version 4.3.1) dlnm was used to construct a DLNM model. Results During the study period, a total of 10503 cases were reported, with a male to female ratio of 1.47∶1 and the highest proportion of scattered children (49.97%). The Spearman correlation analysis results showed that daily average temperature (r=0.40), relative humidity (r=0.17) and O₃ (r=0.14) were positively correlated with the incidence of HFMD (all Ps<0.01), while average air pressure (r=−0.34), PM_2.5 (r=−0.24), PM₁₀ (r=−0.24), CO (r=−0.22), and NO₂ (r=−0.06) were negatively correlated with it (all Ps<0.05). There was no statistical relationship of SO₂ and average wind speed with the incidence of HFMD (both Ps>0.05). The cumulative risk effect was greatest when the daily average temperature was 28.50 ℃ (CRR=4.63, 95%CI: 2.68, 8.01). The average wind speed below 0.50 m·s⁻¹ and in the range of 2.50-3.50 m·s⁻¹ showed an acute risk effect, and low pressure (below 1016.00 hPa) could immediately increase the risk of the disease. The cumulative risk effect was greatest when the relative humidity was 100% (CRR=3.16, 95%CI: 1.77, 5.65). The greatest cumulative protective effects of PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ were present at concentrations of 158.00 μg·m⁻³ (CRR=0.12, 95%CI: 0.01, 0.99) and 561.50 μg·m⁻³ (CRR=0.01, 95%CI: 0.01, 0.99) respectively. The protective effect of CO was the strongest at the highest concentration (67.00 μg·m⁻³) (RR=0.67, 95%CI: 0.34, 0.64). The cumulative protective effects of SO₂ and NO₂ were both most significant at the concentration of 0.50 μg·m⁻³. Low concentrations of O₃ (below 48.00 μg·m⁻³) showed a risk effect, and the single-day protective effect was significant when the concentration was 141.00 μg·m⁻³. Conclusion There is a nonlinear and hysteretic relationship between environmental factors and the incidence of HFMD. A rational and efficient early warning and prevention and control system can be constructed accordingly.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness and safety of electroconvulsive therapy(ECT)in reducing suicidal ideation and depressive symptoms of major depressive disorder patients,as well as its effect on cognitive function.Methods A total of 160 adolescent patients with major depressive disorder were recruited for this study.The ECT group(n=81)received conventional antidepressant medication combined with 8 sessions of electroconvulsive therapy,and the control group(n=79)received conventional antidepressant medication only.Depressive symptoms,suicidal ideation,and cognitive functioning were assessed using 17-item Hamilton rating scale for depression(HAMD-17)and self-rating idea of suicide scale(SIOSS),at baseline(before ECT),after ECT,and at 2 and 6 weeks after treatment.The Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA)was used to evaluate the cognitive function of the patients,and the patients were followed up for side effects such as dizziness and nausea.Results Generalized estimating equation(GEE)analysis of HAMD-17 and SIOSS scores showed significant group×time interaction effects(P<0.01).Both groups exhibited a reduction in HAMD-17 scores before and after treatment(scores at four time points:ECT group 24.59±4.56 vs.13.25±4.32 vs.6.20±1.95 vs.3.62±2.04,control group 23.48±3.66 vs.15.42±3.11 vs.10.10±2.05 vs.4.68±2.01;P<0.01).The mean difference in HAMD-17 scores before and after treatment was-9.62±3.13 in the ECT group,and was-8.16±1.71 in the control group.Additionally,suicidal ideation reduced in both groups after treatment(SIOSS scores at four time points:ECT group 18.57±2.85 vs.10.93±3.52 vs.8.02±2.79 vs.3.70±1.96,control group 18.97±3.03 vs.15.51±2.98 vs.11.11±2.18 vs.6.44±1.78;P<0.01).For cognitive function scores,there was no interaction between group and time(P=0.21),the difference in the change in MoCA scores at different follow-up time points was significant(P<0.01),and the difference in the change in MoCA scores between the two groups was not significant(P=0.05),and the cognitive functions of the two groups could be restored to the baseline level at 6 weeks after treatment.No severe side effects were reported in either group of patients during the study.Conclusions Our findings confirm that ECT is effective and safe for improving suicidal ideation and depressive symptoms in adolescents with major depressive disorder.The impairment of cognitive function by ECT in adolescent patients with major depressive disorder is reversible.

Objective:To introduce the clinical application of "page-turning" superior pancreatic lymph node dissection in laparoscopic D2 radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.Methods:Patients who were confirmed to have adenocarcinoma by preoperative gastroscopy and pathological biopsy, with tumor staging evaluated by imaging as cT1~4aN0~3M0, without neoadjuvant therapy, and without absolute surgical contraindications, underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer with "page-turning" superior pancreatic lymph node dissection. The "page-turning" superior pancreatic lymph node dissection was performed in four steps: (1) Expose the posterior gastric mesentery and dissect No.11p lymph nodes; (2) Expose the left gastric mesentery and dissect No.7, No.8a and No.9 lymph nodes; (3) Expose the right gastric mesentery and dissect No.5 lymph nodes; (4) Expose the left edge of the portal vein and dissect No.12a lymph nodes.Results:From April 2018 to October 2024, 112 patients with gastric cancer underwent laparoscopic D2 radical gastrectomy with "page-turning" superior pancreatic lymph node dissection, including 21 cases in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, 78 cases in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, and 13 cases in the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Jilin Provincial People's Hospital. The TNM staging of all patients was as follows: 31 cases in stage Ⅰ, 24 cases in stage Ⅱ, and 57 cases in stage Ⅲ; 62 cases of differentiated adenocarcinoma and 50 cases of undifferentiated adenocarcinoma; the median length of tumors was 3.8 cm. All patients successfully completed the operation without conversion to open surgery, no intraoperative massive hemorrhage or postoperative death. The median total number of lymph nodes dissected in all patients was 32, and the median number of positive lymph nodes was 4.5. The overall postoperative complication rate was 5.4% (6/112), all of which were Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅱ, including pulmonary infection, pleural effusion, and incisional infection, all cured by symptomatic treatment. The median follow-up was 41.8 (2-78) months, with 7 cases lost to follow-up. During the follow-up period, 27 cases (25.7%) had tumor recurrence and 16 cases (15.2%) died.Conclusions:The "page-turning" superior pancreatic lymph node dissection technique is safe and feasible in laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors for aspiration pneumonia m patients with post-stroke dysphagia based on quantitative analysis of videofluoroscopic swallowing study(VFSS),and to construct a prediction model and validate it in order to standardize the management of high-risk patients with post-stroke dysphagia complicating aspiration pneumonia.Method:A total of 556 patients with post-stroke dysphagia admitted to Xiamen Hospital of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from July 2021 to June 2023 were selected for the study and divided into a modeling group(n=436)and an external validation group(n=120).The model group was divided into pneumo-nia group(n=113,25.9％)and non-pneumonia group(n=323,74.1％)according to the occurrence of aspiration pneumonia.Clinical data and VFSS results were collected for all participants.Logistic regression identified the risk factors for aspiration pneumonia,and a nomogram predictive model was constructed.Model perfonnance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves,the area under the ROC curve(AUC),and the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test.External validation was conducted to assess the sensitivity,spec-ificity and consistency of the model.Result:Logistic regression analysis showed that advanced age,poor oral hygiene,tracheotomy,Penetration-As-piration Scale(PAS)grade≥5,pharyngeal residue and prolonged pharyngeal transport time were risk factors for aspiration pneumonia,and active cough and eating instruction were protective factors(P＜0.05 for both).The predictive risk index(C-index)of the nomogram prediction model was 0.957,AUC=0.957,sensitivity was 93.8％,specificity was 86.4％,and the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test showed P=0.6.Conclusion:The predictive model can be used to predict the occurrence of aspiration pneumonia in stroke pa-tients with dysphagia.Its use in clinical practice allows for the development of targeted and individualized inter-ventions according to patient risk levels,thereby improving the quality of nursing.

At present, the C-arm structure accelerators commonly used in radiotherapy equipment are complex in operation and have potential safety hazards when realizing non-coplanar treatment. By combining with medical robotic arm technology, a spherical radiotherapy accelerator motion system is designed. The beam module is clamped by the medical robotic arm structure to achieve three-dimensional multi-angle irradiation treatment within the non-coplanar angle range. Firstly, the rotating mechanism, beam module, and MLC module of the spherical radiotherapy equipment are designed. Then, the double-plane counterweight method is used to calculate the dynamic balance of the equipment, ensuring that the beam center point does not rotate during the treatment process. Finally, the strength check and reliability analysis of the transmission component gear are conducted. The results show that the designed spherical radiotherapy accelerator motion system can meet the requirements of stable, accurate, and fast precision radiotherapy, which is conducive to improving the treatment efficiency.

Clopidogrel effectively inhibits platelet aggregation in response to ADP by irreversibly binding to the platelet P2Y₁₂ receptor through its active metabolite. However, the observed discrepancies between the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of clopidogrel present substantial challenges in individualizing of antiplatelet therapy. To address these challenges, a robust liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method has been developed to facilitate the real-time assessment of platelet P2Y₁₂ receptor occupancy. This method has been validated in animal models, providing a reliable link between individual PK profiles and PD effects. Target receptor occupancy offers a comprehensive overview of interindividual variations in clopidogrel metabolism, regulation of P2Y₁₂ receptor expression, and platelet turnover. Moreover, it directly correlates with the inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation. The levels of platelet P2Y₁₂ occupancy accurately reflect the extent of clinical factors influencing the PD of clopidogrel, including dosage, drug-drug interactions (DDI), and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). As a normalized metric, platelet P2Y₁₂ occupancy not only serves potential as a diagnostic tool for personalized clopidogrel therapy but also aids in elucidating the role of the P2Y₁₂ signaling pathway in cases of abnormal on-treatment platelet reactivity.

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) plays a pivotal role in orchestrating higher-order emotional and cognitive processes, a function that depends on the precise modulation of synaptic activity. Although pharmacological studies have demonstrated that dopamine signaling through dopamine D1 receptor (DRD1) in the PFC is essential for these functions, the cell-type-specific and molecular mechanisms underlying the neuromodulatory effects remain elusive. Using cell-type-specific knockout mice and patch-clamp recordings, we investigated the regulatory role of DRD1 on neurons and astrocytes in synaptic transmission and plasticity. Furthermore, we explored the mechanisms by which DRD1 on astrocytes regulate synaptic transmission and plasticity at the cellular level, as well as emotional and cognitive functions at the behavioral level, through two-photon imaging, microdialysis, high-performance liquid chromatography, transcriptome sequencing, and behavioral testing. We found that conditional knockout of the Drd1 in astrocytes (CKO^AST) increased glutamatergic synaptic transmission and long-term potentiation (LTP) in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), whereas Drd1 deletion in pyramidal neurons did not affect synaptic transmission. The elevated level of d-serine in the mPFC of CKO^AST mice increased glutamatergic transmission and LTP through NMDA receptors. In addition, CKO^AST mice exhibited abnormal emotional and cognitive function. Notably, these behavioral changes in CKO^AST mice could be reversed through the administration of d-serine degrease to the mPFC. These results highlight the critical role of the astrocytic DRD1 in modulating mPFC synaptic transmission and plasticity, as well as higher brain functions through d-serine, and may shed light on the treatment of mental disorders.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of one-hole split endoscope (OSE) minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of single-segment thoracic ossification of the ligamentum flavum (TOLF).Methods:This retrospective non-randomized controlled study included 41 patients with single-segment TOLF who underwent surgery at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University between July 2019 and July 2023. Patients were divided into two groups: the OSE group (19 cases) treated with one-hole split endoscope minimally invasive surgery and the open group (22 cases) treated with traditional laminectomy and pedicle screw fixation. There were no significant differences between the two groups on gender, age, disease duration, affected segment, presence or absence of dural ossification, and residual cross-sectional vertebral canal area on CT ( P>0.05). Additionally, perioperative surgical time, estimated blood loss (EBL), incision length, hospital stay duration, hospitalization costs and follow-up duration were compared. The Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were compared preoperatively and at the last follow-up. Complications were also recorded. Results:All patients successfully completed the surgery with no significant differences at the last follow-up ( P>0.05). Compared with the open group, the OSE group had a significantly shorter operative time (133.1±16.8 vs. 160.5±22.6 min), lower EBL (91.2±15.0 vs. 192.5±43.8 ml), shorter incision length (2.6±0.5 vs. 7.9±1.9 cm), reduced hospital stay (3.9±0.8 vs. 5.6±0.8 days), and lower hospitalization costs (34,874.9±4,568.6 vs. 53,162.3±9,815.6 yuan) (all P<0.05). AAt the final follow-up, JOA scores (8.5±0.8 vs. 8.6±1.2) and ODI values (16.7%±2.1% vs. 17.7%±4.4%) showed no significant differences between the OSE and open groups ( P>0.05). During the perioperative period and follow-up, complications occurred in 2 patients in the OSE group (1 cerebrospinal fluid leak, 1 poor wound healing) and in 8 patients in the open group (5 cerebrospinal fluid leaks, 1 neurological deterioration, 2 poor wound healing). Conclusion:OSE minimally invasive surgery is an effective treatment for single-segment thoracic ossification of the ligamentum flavum. Compared with open surgery, it provides advantages such as minimal invasiveness and fewer complications.
