Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and identify predictive factors for spontaneous passage of common bile duct (CBD) stones.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients diagnosed as having choledocholithiasis via abdominal imaging at outpatient and emergency departments of Jiangsu Province Hospital of Chinese Medicine and other medical institutions from January 2021 to November 2023. Participants were stratified into spontaneous passage versus non-passage groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictors for the spontaneous passage of common bile duct stones.Results:Spontaneous stone passage were confirmed in 70 cases (15.5%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified that an admission diagnosis of acute biliary pancreatitis ( OR=3.317, 95% CI: 1.427-7.713, P=0.005), larger common bile duct diameter ( OR=1.117, 95% CI: 1.000-1.248, P=0.049), and solitary stones ( OR=11.135, 95% CI: 3.602-34.418, P<0.001) significantly increased the probability of spontaneous stones. In contrast, larger stone long diameter ( OR=0.539, 95% CI: 0.441-0.659, P<0.001) markedly decreased passage likelihood. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis demonstrated that the common bile duct diameter predicted spontaneous stone passage with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.662, yielding sensitivity of 52.9% (37/70) and specificity of 73.6% (51/70) at a cutoff value of 9.5 mm. The common bile duct stone diameter achieved an AUC of 0.852 for predicting spontaneous stone passage, with sensitivity of 75.7% (53/70) and specificity of 89.0% (62/70) at a cutoff value of 4.5 mm. Conclusion:Solitary small stones, ductal dilation, and an admission diagnosis of acute biliary pancreatitis are key predictive factors for spontaneous common bile duct stone passage. A common bile duct diameter ≥9.5 mm and stone long diameter ≤4.5 mm are more likely to result in spontaneous stone passage.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of dye-free submucosal injection solution for gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), a retrospective cohort study was performed on data of inpatients with early gastric cancer and precancerous lesions who underwent ESD at the Digestive Endoscopy Center of Jiangsu Province Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January to December 2020. Cases were divided into dye-free submucosal injection solution group (the observation group) and dye-containing solution group (the control group). A total of 108 cases met the eligibility criteria for analysis (39 VS 69). Baseline characteristics were comparable between the two groups ( P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the observation group showed similar median procedure time (30.5 min VS 35.0 min), median dissection speed (0.3 cm2/min VS 0.4 cm2/min), mean volume of injection solution used (39.2 mL VS 38.8 mL), en bloc resection rate [100.0% (39/39) VS 98.6% (68/69)], and curative resection rate [97.4% (38/39) VS 97.1% (67/69)] (all P>0.05). Postoperative stay was 3.0±0.8 days in the observation group and 3.2±0.8 days in the control group ( t=-0.908, P=0.378). Delayed bleeding occurred in 3 (7.7%) patients VS 2 (2.9%) patients ( P=0.349), and postoperative infection occurred in 3 (7.7%) patients VS 8 (11.6%) patients ( P=0.743), respectively. In gastric ESD, dye-free submucosal injection solution demonstrates efficacy comparable with dye-containing solution and does not appreciably increase the incidence of intraoperative or postoperative complications.

Objective To explore the effects of single-session table tennis exercise with different intensities on working memory and the associated cognitive neural processing mechanisms in college students with depressive symptoms by using event-related potential(ERP)technology.Methods A convenience sampling approach was employed to recruit 100 college students with depressive symptoms from a university.Participants were randomly assigned at a 1∶1∶1∶1 ratio to low-intensity exercise group,moderate-intensity exercise group,high-intensity exercise group,or control group.The exercise groups participated in a single 30-min table tennis intervention at intensities corresponding to 57%-64%of maximum heart rate(HRmax)and rate of perceived exertion(RPE)scores ranging from 9-11,65%-75%HRmax and RPE scores 12-13,and 76%-95%HRmax and RPE scores of 14-17(5-min warm-up,20-min monitored exercise,5-min cool-down).The control group did not receive any exercise intervention.Pre-and post-intervention assessments of verbal working memory(VWM)and spatial working memory(SWM)were performed,alongside the recording of ERP components,including the amplitude and latency of N2 and P3,during the tasks.Results A total of 91 participants(20 in the low-intensity exercise group,25 in the moderate-intensity exercise group,23 in the high-intensity exercise group,and 23 in the control group)were enrolled for analysis.In the VWM task,the main effect of time on accuracy was found to be significant(F(1,89)=5.942,P=0.017,partial η2=0.064).Post-intervention,accuracy was significantly improved in the moderate-intensity and high-intensity exercise groups(change=0.027,95%confidence interval[CI]0.001-0.053,P=0.037;change=0.029,95%CI 0.002-0.055,P=0.040).The main effect of time on reaction time was also significant(F(1,89)=7.244,P=0.009,partial η2=0.077).The interaction between group and time was also significant(F(3,87)=2.844,P=0.042,partial η2=0.089).After the intervention,the reaction time was reduced in the low-intensity and moderate-intensity exercise groups(change=-0.095,95%CI-0.183--0.007,P=0.035;change=-0.079,95%CI-0.158-0,P=0.049).The interaction between time and electrode location in the P3 latency in ERP components was significant(F(3,87)=5.785,P＜0.001,partial η2=0.062),while the interactions for other ERP measures were not significant(all P＞0.05).In the SWM task,the main effect of time on accuracy was significant(F(1,89)=5.092,P=0.027,partial η2=0.055),while the interaction between group and time was not significant(F(3,87)=0.799,P=0.498,partial η2=0.027).After the intervention,accuracy was improved in the moderate-intensity exercise group(change=0.019,95%CI 0-0.037,P=0.046).The main effect of time on reaction time was significant(F(1,89)=14.322,P＜0.001,partial η2=0.141).The interaction between group and time was not significant(F(3,87)=1.521,P=0.215,partial η2=0.050).After the intervention,reaction time was shortened in the moderate-intensity and high-intensity exercise groups(change=-0.082,95%CI-0.136--0.027,P=0.004;change=-0.075,95%CI-0.131--0.018,P=0.029).The interaction between time and electrode location in the P3 amplitude in ERP components was significant(F(3,87)=5.475,P=0.001,partial η2=0.059),while the interactions for other ERP measures were not significant(all P＞0.05).Conclusion Single-session table tennis exercise with different intensities has a positive effect on working memory in college students with depressive symptoms.Moderate-to high-intensity exercise can enhance VWM accuracy,while low-to moderate-intensity exercise can reduce VWM reaction time.Furthermore,moderate-intensity exercise can improve SWM accuracy,and moderate-to high-intensity exercise can shorten SWM reaction time.Additionally,high-intensity exercise can lead to greater activation of ERP components.

Background In the Global Burden of Disease research, it has been found that atmospheric fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) pollution significantly harms human health. Currently, there is limited research on polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) that exhibit high toxicity effects in PM_2.5 . Objective By studying the spatiotemporal distribution and variation characteristics of PCDD/Fs in PM_2.5 in Pudong area of Shanghai, to assess the associated population health risk. Methods This study set up 28 sampling points in Pudong area. One sample of PM_2.5 was collected during winter (February 2022) and summer (July 2022) at each site, with a sampling period lasting 24 h. The concentration of PM_2.5 was measured by membrane filter method, and the content of 17 kinds of 2,3,7,8-substituted chlorinated PCDD/Fs in the samples was analyzed using isotope dilution. Seasonal variations (winter and summer) in the concentrations of PM_2.5 and PCDD/Fs were evaluated, sources of PCDD/Fs pollution were tracing by principal component analysis, and health risks to the population from respiratory exposure to PCDD/Fs were estimated by VLIER-HUMAAN model. Results The PM_2.5 concentrations in the 28 samples ranged from 10 to 126 μg·m⁻³, while the concentrations of PCDD/Fs in PM_2.5 ranged from 58 to 2625 fg·m⁻³. The concentration of PM_2.5 during winter (11-126 μg·m⁻³) was higher than that during summer (10-60 μg·m⁻³). The concentration range of PCDD/Fs in winter was from 58 to 2625 fg·m⁻³, which corresponded to a range of toxic equivalent quantity (WHO-TEQ) concentration from 2.99 to 40.97 fg·m⁻³ when taking World Health Organization's toxic equivalency factor (WHO-TEQ); the concentration range of PCDD/Fs in summer was from 72 to 446 fg·m⁻³, which corresponded to a range of WHO-TEQ concentration from 2.66 to 16.61 fg·m⁻³. This range in summer was significantly lower than that observed in winter. The results of principal component analysis revealed that waste incineration was the primary source of PCDD/Fs in winter PM_2.5 in the area, whereas traffic emissions emerged as the main source in summer. The assessment of Pudong residents' respiratory exposure to PCDD/Fs in PM_2.5 showed significantly higher exposure of children in summer and winter than that of adults, indicating higher susceptibility of children to air pollutants. Both the hazard ratios (HR) for children and adults were below 1, while the cancer risks (CR) ranged from 8.41×10⁻⁸ to 2.35×10⁻⁶. Notably, during winter, the CR at 4 locations slightly exceeds 1×10⁻⁶, indicating a potential carcinogenic risk. Conclusion The overall pollution level of PCDD/Fs in PM_2.5 in Pudong area is relatively low, but it shows clear seasonal patterns. Waste incineration and traffic are the main sources of PCDD/Fs in PM_2.5 in the area. Although the cancer risk of exposure to PCDD/Fs in PM_2.5 for children or adults is relatively low, there is a certain risk at some locations in winter, necessitating additional monitoring and control.

【Objective】 To analyze the sensory integration characteristics of 4- to 5-year-old preschool children while maintaining static balance, in order to provide reference for promoting the development of motor development. 【Methods】 A total of 128 preschool children were randomly selected in this study from a public kindergarten in Suzhou. Wearable sensor were worn at the center of mass(COM) position for four tests: T1 standing with eyes open, T2 standing with eyes closed, T3 standing with eyes open on a sponge pad, and T4 standing with eyes closed on a sponge pad. The angular velocity modulus(ω) of COM shaking was extracted, the Romberg quotient(RQ), vestibular Romberg quotient(VRQ), and the rate of increase in body stability when integrating different sensations were calculated. The contribution weights and sensory integration characteristics of visual, proprioceptive, and vestibular sensations to static balance were analyzed. Independent sample t-test was used to analyze the differences between different gender and age groups. 【Results】 The RQ was 1.20, and the VRQ was 1.58. The contribution rates of visual, proprioceptive, and vestibular senses to body balance were approximately 9.28%, 28.19% and 62.53%, respectively. The difference in the rate of increase in body stability between integrated vision and integrated proprioception with normal vestibular perception was statistically significant(P<0.001, Cohen′s d=-1.14),while the difference in the rate of increase in body stability between integrated proprioception and vestibular perception with normal vestibular perception and integrated vision with normal proprioception was statistically significant(P<0.001, Cohen′s d=2.30). The difference in the rate of increased body stability between the sum of vestibular and proprioceptive integration and the simultaneous integration of visual and proprioceptive integration was statistically significant(P<0.001, Cohen′s d=-0.86). The gender differences in RQ, VRQ, and the rate of increased body stability when integrating different sensations(P>0.05) and the difference in half year old age was not statistically significant(P>0.05). 【Conclusions】 When preschool children aged 4 - 5 maintain static balance, the contribution of vestibular integration proprioception to body stability is greater than that of vestibular integrate vision. The contribution of vestibular and visual integrate proprioception to body stability is greater than that of vestibular and proprioception integrate vision. The sensory integration characteristics between boys and girls, as well as half year old children, are basically the same.

ObjectiveTo explore the possible mechanism of Pingwei Capsules （平胃胶囊） for chronic atrophic gastritis from rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma / mitogen-activated protein kinase /extracellular-signal-regulated kinase （Raf/MEK/ERK） pathway that influences the activation of fibrosarcoma protein/mitogen. MethodsFifteen SD rats were randomly divided into 5 rats in the blank group and 10 rats in Pingwei Capsules group. The rats in the blank group were given 1 ml/100 g of saline by gavage， and the rats in Pingwei Capsules group were given 0.63 g/（kg·d） of Pingwei Capsule suspension by gavage， and serum was collected for 3 consecutive days. N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine （MNNG） was used to induce human gastric mucosal epithelial cells GES-1 to establish a precancerous lesion cell model. The successful cells were divided into control group （10% fetal bovine serum）， blank serum group （10% fetal bovine serum plus 10% blank serum）， and medication-containing serum group （serum with medication of Pingwei Capsule）， and the volume fraction and time of intervention of Pingwei Capsule-containing serum were screened by CCK-8 assay. Human gastric mucosal epithelial cells GES-1 were divided into normal group， model group， blank serum group， medication-containing serum group， U0126 group， and combined group， with 6 replicate wells in each group. After successful modelling of the cells in all groups except the blank group， an equal volume of fetal bovine serum was added to the normal and model groups， an equal volume of blank serum was added to the blank serum group， a screening volume fraction of Pingwei Capsule-containing serum was added to Pingwei Capsule group， a 10 μmol/L mitogen-activated extracellular signal regulated kinase 1 （MEK1） inhibitor U0126 was administered in the U0126 group， an equal dose of Pingwei Capsule-containing serum plus 10 μmol/L of U0126 was administered to the combined group. After the selected incubation time， the level of interleukin 6 （IL-6） was detected in the cells by ELISA， the expression of IL-6 and MEK1 was detected by immunofluorescence， and the expression of IL-6， Raf， MEK1， and ERK mRNA was detected by RT-qPCR， and the expression of IL-6， Raf， MEK1， and ERK mRNA in the cells was detected by Western blot. ResultsThe 5.35% volume fraction， 48 h intervention of Pingwei Capsule-containing serum was selected for subsequent experiments. Compared with the normal group， the IL-6 content in cell supernatants and the expression of IL-6， Raf， MEK1， ERK mRNA and ERK1/2 proteins in cells increased in the model group and blank serum group （P＜0.01）. Compared with the model group， all of the above indexes were improved in medication-containing serum group， U0126 group， and combined group （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared with medication-containing serum group， the expression of IL-6， MEK1 expression， the expression of IL-6， Raf， MEK1 and ERK mRNA， and the expression of IL-6， Raf， MEK1 and ERK1/2 proteins reduced in the cells of combined group （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared with the U0126 group， IL-6 expression reduced and IL-6， MEK1 and ERK1/2 protein expression reduced in cells of combined group （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. ConclusionThe Pingwei Capsule-containing serum may play a role in the treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis by improving the inflammation-cancer transformation of GES-1 cells through inhibiting the Raf/MEK/ERK pathway.

Acute skin failure (ASF) is an inevitable damage to the skin and subcutaneous tissue caused by hemodynamic instability and/or low perfusion. At present, there are some understandings and reports about adult ASF at home and abroad, but there are few reports about children's ASF. This article reviewed the definition, pathophysiological changes, risk factors, clinical manifestations, and management of children's ASF, and put forward suggestions in order to provide ideas for clinical diagnosis and treatment of children's ASF, and promote the further study of children's ASF.
