Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common respiratory pathogen in infants and young children, which can lead to severe pneumonia and even death. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for reducing complications and sequelae and improving prognosis. This study presents the complete diagonsis and treatment process of a typical severe RSV pneumonia patient. For high-risk children, the condition can progress rapidly after RSV infection, and may present with respiratory failure and multiple extrapulmonary complications, such as heart failure, liver and kidney function impairment, coagulation dysfunction. After active symptomatic and supportive treatment, the prognosis is generally good. RSV infection will not lead to long-lasting immunity, but as the child grows older and their immune function gradually improves, the condition of a secondary infection is generally relatively mild. Currently, there are no specific antiviral drugs or safe and effective vaccines for RSV. Long-acting monoclonal antibodies are one of the effective means to prevent RSV infection in infants and young children and have been approved for use in China.

Nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF), predominantly affecting the elderly, can lead to intractable pain, vertebral collapse, progressive kyphotic deformity, and neurological impairment, significantly compromising patients′ quality of life. There exists considerable debate on diagnosis and management of OVF, encompassing key issues such as clinical diagnosis and staging criteria for nonunion, surgical indications and procedure selection, and postoperative rehabilitation planning. Currently, there lacks standardized clinical guideline and expert consensus on the diagnosis and management of OVF nonunion in China. To address this gap, Minimally Invasive Surgery Group of Chinese Orthopedic Association, Osteoporosis Committee of Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Prevention and Rehabilitation Committee for Osteoporosis of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine and Minimally Invasive Orthopedic Surgery Branch of China Association for Geriatric Care jointly organized domestic experts in spinal surgery, endocrinology, and rehabilitation to formulate the Clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment for nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures ( version 2025), based on existing literature and clinical experience and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and practicality. The guideline provided 13 evidence-based recommendations encompassing diagnosis and treatment of OVF nonunion, aiming to standardize its clinical management.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of overweight and obesity among Chinese children aged 3-18 years from 11 provinces, antonomous regions, or municipalities.Methods:This national cross-sectional community health survey utilized a multistage stratified cluster-random sampling method to recruit 193 997 nationally representative participants from 11 provinces, autonomous regions, or municipalities between January 2017 and December 2019. All participants underwent physical examinations, and their caregivers completed questionnaires assessing participants′ dietary, lifestyle, familial, and perinatal information. Multilevel multinomial logistic regression models were employed to identify the potential risk factors.Results:The cohort comprised 193 997 children (102 178 boys, 91 819 girls),aged (10±4) years. Overall prevalence rates were 30 574(15.8%)overweight children and 17 217(8.9%) obesity children. Boys exhibited higher overweight and obesity rates than girls (17.0% (17 368/102 178) vs. 14.4% (13 206/102 178), 11.3% (11 553/91 819) vs. 6.2% (5 664/91 819), χ2=249.12,1 578.69,both P<0.001). The detection rates of obesity in Tanner stage 2 and 3 were the highest in boys and girls, with 13.4%(2 231/16 665) and 8.6%(880/10 221) respectively. Risk factors for obesity included parental overweight (paternal OR=2.34 and maternal OR=2.29), annual household income of 100 000-200 000 yuan (compared with<100 000 yuan, OR=1.04), higher paternal education (compared with below high school,high school and a college education OR=1.09,1.14), birth weight >4.0 kg (≤5 and>5 years old OR=1.74, 1.44,respectively), and western food consumption≥1 time/month (compared with<1, 1-2, 3-4,>4 times/month OR=1.36, 1.30, 1.67(≤5 years), 1.19, 1.16, 1.15 (>5 years), respectively) (all P<0.05). Conversely, coarse grain intake≥1 times/week (compared with<1 times/week, every day, 3-4, 1-2 times/week OR=0.74, 0.80, 0.71 (≤5 years), 0.75, 0.87, 0.90(>5 years), respectively, all P<0.05) was associated with reduced obesity risk. Conclusions:Obesity epidemiology in children demonstrates significant heterogeneity across age, gender, geographic regions, and pubertal stages. It is necessary to establish a personalized prevention and control strategy.

Objective:To analyze the short-term efficacy and safety of robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy(RAPN)for non-metastatic pathological stage T 3a renal cell carcinoma. Methods:The clinical and pathological data of 45 patients with pathologically confirmed non-metastatic T 3a renal cell carcinoma who underwent RAPN at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center between January 2016 and December 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 30 males and 15 females. The average age of the cohort was(54.3±10.7)years,and the average clinical tumor diameter was(4.9±1.8)cm. Of all the patients,35(77.8%)were asymptomatic,7(15.6%)presented with hematuria,and 3(6.7%)presented with lumbar pain. Preoperative imaging assessed 34 patients(75.6%)as having clinical stage T 3a,all suspected of involving the collecting system or perirenal fat invasion;the remaining 11 patients(24.4%)were assessed as having stage T 1-2 disease. The median R.E.N.A.L. nephrectomy score was 8.0(7.0,10.0). A history of hypertension,diabetes,or chronic kidney disease was present in 18 patients(40.0%). The primary endpoint was progression-free survival,and the secondary endpoints included postoperative complications and short-term renal function outcomes. Survival curve was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method,and renal function comparisons were made using the paired t-test. Results:The RAPN was performed through a transabdominal approach in 32 patients(71.1%),with a median estimated blood loss of 150.0(50.0,300.0)ml. Seven(15.6%)patients required intraoperative blood transfusion. The median length of postoperative hospital stay was 4.0(4.0,6.0)days. Postoperative complications occurred in 6 patients(13.3%),including 5(11.1%)with mild complications and 1(2.2%)with a severe complication. Renal function returned to baseline in 24 of 39 evaluable patients(61.5%),while 3 patients(7.7%)developed surgery-related chronic kidney disease 3 to 12 months postoperatively,but none required dialysis. The median follow-up time was 31.8(22.7,50.9)months,12(26.7%)patients received programmed cell death protein 1 inhibitor adjuvant therapy postoperatively. During follow-up,3 patients experienced tumor recurrence,the 3-year progression-free survival rate of the entire cohort was 95.4%.Conclusions:For some carefully selected patients with T 3a renal cell carcinoma,RAPN performed by experienced surgeons is a feasible and safe option,providing excellent short-term oncological outcomes,complication control,and renal function recovery. The long-term efficacy remains to be seen.

Objective:To explore the clinical application value of convolutional neural network(CNN)based on deep learning in the automatic measurement of dynamic pelvic floor ultrasound video parameters and the diagnosis and classification of cystocele.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on dynamic pelvic floor ultrasound videos from 398 postpartum women who underwent examinations at the First People's Hospital of Foshan between June 2020 and June 2022. The lowest point of the posterior bladder wall(PWB),urethral rotation angle(URA),and retrovesical angle(RVA)were manually measured by a senior radiologist(R1)and a junior radiologist(R2),and cystocele was classified according to the Green standard. The CNN model was employed to automatically extract the above parameters and to diagnose and classify cystocele. Using R1 measurements as a reference,intraclass correlation coefficient(ICC)was used to evaluate the consistency between the CNN model and R1,as well as between R2 and R1. The Kappa value was used to assess the agreement between the CNN model,R2,and R1 in the diagnosis and classification of cystocele. Additionally,the time consumption of the three measurement methods was compared.Results:The CNN model showed good consistency with R1 in measuring PWB and URA(ICC = 0.983,0.894),while its consistency in measuring RVA was moderate(ICC = 0.614). The ICC between R2 and R1 in measuring PWB,URA,and RVA was 0.979,0.815,and 0.627,respectively. In the measurement of PWB and URA,the consistency between the CNN model and R1 was superior to that between R2 and R1. For cystocele diagnosis,the Kappa value between the CNN model and R1 was 0.924,which was higher than that between R2 and R1(0.904). In cystocele classification,the Kappa value between the CNN model and R1 was 0.503,also higher than that between R2 and R1(0.426). The CNN model processed a single video in 2.5(0.6)s,significantly faster than R1[59.9(16.9)s]and R2[56.8(11.2)s](all P < 0.001). Conclusions:The CNN model demonstrates high accuracy and efficiency in the measurement,diagnosis,and classification of cystocele,outperforming a junior radiologist and showing potential for clinical application.

AIM: To investigate the correlation of serum leucine-rich α-2 glycoprotein 1(LRG1)and fibroblast growth factor 21(FGF-21)levels with neovascular glaucoma(NVG).METHODS: A total of 110 cases(110 eyes)with NVG admitted to the ophthalmology department from September 2020 to September 2022 were selected as NVG group, with 23 cases of grade II, 44 cases of grade III, and 43 cases of grade IV, while 90 sex and age matched cataract patients(90 eyes)were selected as control group. The levels of LRG1, FGF-21, vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF), pigment epithelium-derived factor(PEDF), and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in serum were detected by ELISA; Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation of serum LRG1 and FGF-21 levels with Teich grade, VEGF, PEDF and TNF-α levels.RESULTS: The levels of serum LRG1, FGF-21, VEGF, PEDF and TNF-α in the NVG group were significantly higher than those in the control group(all P<0.01). With the increase of Teich grading, the levels of serum LRG1, FGF-21, VEGF, PEDF and TNF-α in NVG patients significantly increased in turn(all P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the levels of LRG1 and FGF-21 in serum of NVG patients were positively correlated with the levels of VEGF, PEDF and TNF-α(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION: The levels of LRG1 and FGF-21 in serum of patients with NVG are obviously increased, which are positively correlated with the levels of VEGF, PEDF and TNF-α, both of which may be related to the development of NVG.

Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.
