OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Jianwei xiaoshi oral liquid in the treatment of functional dyspepsia （FD） in children， and provide evidence-based basis for clinical use of the drug. METHODS Retrieved from CNKI， VIP， Wanfang， CBM， Cochrane Library and PubMed， randomized controlled trials （RCTs） about Jianwei xiaoshi oral liquid in the treatment of FD in children were collected from the inception to Apr. 2024. The control group was treated with conventional western drugs （including gastrointestinal motion-promoting， antacids or acid-suppressing drugs）， and the trial group was treated with Jianwei xiaoshi oral liquid alone or combined with conventional Western drugs （drug dosage and course of treatment were the same as the control group）. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software after quality evaluation with the Cochrane risk bias assessment tool 6.1. RESULTS Totally 16 literature were employed which included 1 962 patients. The results of meta-analysis showed that the total clinical effective rate of Jianwei xiaoxi oral liquid in the treatment of FD in children of trial group was significantly higher than that of the control group [RR＝1.18， 95%CI （1.13， 1.22）， P＜0.000 01]. In this study， subgroup analysis was conducted on the usage and dosage， course of treatment， and combination or not in trial group， as well as the type of conventional Western drugs. The results showed that the total clinical effective rate of trial group was significantly higher than that of control group； the relief time of abdominal distension and abdominal pain in trial group [MD＝－2.54， 95%CI （－3.10， －1.98）]， loss of appetite relief time [MD＝－2.12， 95%CI （－2.63， －1.61）]， nausea and vomiting relief time [MD＝－1.70， 95%CI （－2.27， －1.14）]， and belching relief time [MD＝－1.61， 95%CI （－2.44， －0.78）] were shorter than that of the control group significantly （P＜0.05）. In addition， compared with control group， the levels of gastrin [SMD＝1.63， 95%CI （0.98， 2.29）] and motilin [SMD＝2.06， 95%CI （1.58， 2.54）] as well as gastric antral emptying rate [MD＝5.99， 95%CI （2.78， 9.21）] in trial group were increased significantly， while the level of somatostatin was decreased significantly [SMD＝－1.30， 95%CI （－1.57， －1.02）] （P≤0.000 3）. CONCLUSIONS Jianwei xiaoshi oral liquid， whether used alone or in combination with other medications， and regardless of the treatment course or dosage and usage， is effective in treating FD in children， with good safety.

To investigate body composition and associated factors in adolescents undergoing long-term regular sports training.

In recent years， the number of special clinical cases related to assisted reproductive technology （ART） for pregnancy has been on the rise annually. For example， gamete donation， assisted reproduction for couples of advanced maternal ages， and the ownership and disposition of embryos when one or both partners pass away， all involve the health of offspring and conflicts of interest in the implementation of ART. Although China’s ethical principles for ART include the protection of the offspring， the detailed rules are vague and urgently need to be supplemented and improved. In addition， the clinical application of ART lacks legislative collaborative governance. The corresponding administrative departments， practitioners， and infertile couples should work together. Starting from the perspective of focusing on the well-being of offspring born from the clinical application of ART， while conducting clinical research to address technical challenges， efforts should be made to overcome ethical dilemmas in the application of technology， comprehensively consider the well-being of offspring born from assisted reproductive treatments and help them seek the best care to promote their healthy growth.

Oral solid dosage forms require processes such as disintegration and dissolution to release the drug before it can be absorbed and utilized by the body. In this manuscript, imaging technology was used to continuously visualize and characterize the in vitro static drug release process of gliclazide modified release tablets from 15 manufacturers, combined with the traditional method of in vitro dissolution testing, to determine the release profile of gliclazide modified release tablets, to evaluate the similarity of the release profiles by using the similarity factor (f₂) method and based on the analysis of the release profiles fitted with a variety of mathematical models. The results indicate that the gliclazide modified release tablets produced by 14 companies are hydrophilic gel matrix tablets. Compared to the reference listed drug, the release profiles of formulations from 11 companies show high similarity (f₂ > 50) to the reference. Among these, formulations with visual characteristics similar to the reference exhibit similar release curves. This study provides an alternative method for the in vitro consistency evaluation of gliclazide modified release tablets, aiming to assess the in vitro release behaviour of generic formulations more accurately and comprehensively.

Objective To investigate the mid-term effect and complications of arthroscopic popliteal tendon suture in the treatment of lateral meniscus injury.Methods From January 2016 to December 2020,the data of 57 patients with lateral meniscus popliteal tendon injury treated by arthroscopic popliteal tendon suture fixation were retrospectively analyzed,includ-ing 35 males and 22 females,aged from 18 to 47 years old with an average of(32.9±7.9)years old.Knee function was evaluat-ed using the International Knee Documentation Committee(IKDC)and Lysholm scores both before the operation and at the fi-nal follow-up.Meniscus healing was evaluated according to the postoperative Barrett standard.Wound healing complications,such as vascular injury,nerve injury,and lower extremity venous thrombosis,were recorded.Results All 57 patients were fol-lowed up for 12 to 58 months with an average of(38.1±14.9)months.The incisions of the patients after the operation were all Grade A healing without infection,popliteal tendon injury,blood vessel injury,nerve injury and lower extremity venous throm-bosis.The IKDC score increased from(49.7±3.6)points preoperatively to(88.5±4.4)points in the final follow-up(P＜0.05).The Lysholm score increased from(48.8±4.9)points preoperatively to(91.9±3.9)points at the final follow-up(P＜0.05).At 3,6 months and 1 year after operation,according to Barrett's criteria,54 cases were clinically healed,the healing rate was 94.7％(54/57).Conclusion This study preliminarily confirmed that arthroscopic suture technique can result in clinical sta-bility through suture and fixation of the meniscus in the injured lateral popliteal tendon area.No adverse effects on knee joint function were found in the mid-term follow-up after the operation.

Objective:To report the results of national surveillance on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical Gram-positive bacteria isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2022.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-positive bacteria from blood cultures in member hospitals of National Bloodstream Infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System（BRICS）were collected during January 2022 to December 2022. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute（CLSI）. WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software were used to analyze the data.Results:A total of 3 163 strains of Gram-positive pathogens were collected from 51 member units，and the top five bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus（ n=1 147，36.3%），coagulase-negative Staphylococci（ n=928，29.3%）， Enterococcus faecalis（ n=369，11.7%）， Enterococcus faecium（ n=296，9.4%）and alpha-hemolyticus Streptococci（ n=192，6.1%）. The detection rates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus（MRSA）and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci（MRCNS）were 26.4%（303/1 147）and 66.7%（619/928），respectively. No glycopeptide and daptomycin-resistant Staphylococci were detected. The sensitivity rates of Staphylococcus aureus to cefpirome，rifampin，compound sulfamethoxazole，linezolid，minocycline and tigecycline were all >95.0%. Enterococcus faecium was more prevalent than Enterococcus faecalis. The resistance rates of Enterococcus faecium to vancomycin and teicoplanin were both 0.5%（2/369），and no vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium was detected. The detection rate of MRSA in southern China was significantly lower than that in other regions（ χ2=14.578， P=0.002），while the detection rate of MRCNS in northern China was significantly higher than that in other regions（ χ2=15.195， P=0.002）. The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS in provincial hospitals were higher than those in municipal hospitals（ χ2=13.519 and 12.136， P<0.001）. The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS in economically more advanced regions（per capita GDP≥92 059 Yuan in 2022）were higher than those in economically less advanced regions（per capita GDP<92 059 Yuan）（ χ2=9.969 and 7.606， P=0.002和0.006）. Conclusions:Among the Gram-positive pathogens causing bloodstream infections in China， Staphylococci is the most common while the MRSA incidence decreases continuously with time；the detection rate of Enterococcus faecium exceeds that of Enterococcus faecalis. The overall prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococci is still at a low level. The composition ratio of Gram-positive pathogens and resistant profiles varies slightly across regions of China，with the prevalence of MRSA and MRCNS being more pronounced in provincial hospitals and areas with a per capita GDP≥92 059 yuan.

Background: There remains controversy over the relationship between serum magnesium levels and obesity in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess whether there is any association of serum magnesium levels with obesity and abdominal obesity in T2DM. Methods: This cross-sectional, real-world study was conducted in 8,010 patients with T2DM, which were stratified into quintiles according to serum magnesium levels. The clinical characteristics and the prevalence of obesity and abdominal obesity were compared across serum magnesium quintiles in T2DM. Regression analyses were used to evaluate the relationship of serum magnesium with obesity and abdominal obesity in T2DM (clinical trial registration number: ChiCTR1800015893). Results: After adjustment for age, sex, and duration of diabetes, the prevalence of obesity and abdominal obesity was significantly declined across magnesium quintiles (obesity: 51.3%, 50.8%, 48.9%, 45.3%, and 43.8%, respectively, P<0.001 for trend; abdominal obesity: 71.5%, 70.5%, 68.2%, 66.4%, and 64.5%, respectively, P=0.001 for trend). After controlling for confounders, there were clearly negative associations of serum magnesium levels and quintiles with obesity and abdominal obesity in T2DM. Moreover, C-reactive protein partly mediates the effect of serum magnesium on obesity and abdominal obesity (P=0.016 and P=0.004, respectively). Conclusion The significantly negative relationship between serum magnesium and the risk of obesity and abdominal obesity was observed in T2DM. Furthermore, the independently negative association of serum magnesium with obesity may be explained by its anti-inflammatory functions. Serum magnesium levels may be applied to assess the risk of obesity and abdominal obesity in T2DM.
