Tic disorders in children refer to the neurodevelopmental disorders usually occurring in childhood and adolescence.Guided by the theory of five-zang-organ correlation,Professor Li Yirui approaches the treatment of tic disorders in children and comorbidities primarily from the perspective of liver-spleen disharmony,and points out that the pathogenesis is due to liver-spleen disharmony,wind-phlegm disturbance,and mutual involvement of the five zang organs.In clinical practice,Professor Li established the therapeutic principle of regulating the liver and spleen,extinguishing wind,and resolving phlegm,and adopted the four liver-regulating methods(calming liver,soothing liver,clearing liver,and softening liver)to extinguish wind and stop tics,as well as the four spleen-regulating methods(replenishing spleen,activating spleen,awakening spleen,and dredging spleen)to strengthen body resistance and support healthy qi.The self-formulated Fupi Xifeng Decoction(composed of Pseudostellariae Radix,Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma,Poria,Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma,Bupleuri Radix,Paeoniae Radix Alba,Uncariae Ramulus cum Uncis,Gastrodiae Rhizoma,Pinelliae Rhizoma Praeparatum,Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium,Os Draconis,etc.)serves as the basic formula,herbs directing to the affected regions were flexibly used,and insect drugs were occasionally adopted for refractory cases.The treatment for tic disorders in children focus on simultaneous regulation of the five zang-organs by modified use of herbs for dispersing wind and benefiting lung,tranquilizing heart and calming spirit,and supplementing liver and kidney to address comorbidities and secondary symptoms.Additionally,integrated internal-external treatment,relieving the discomforts physically and mentally,and family-centered comprehensive care are also taken into account to achieve optimal outcomes.

Objective:To explore the impulsivity characteristics of patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD)comorbid with borderline personality disorder(BPD)and the mediating role of emotion regula-tion strategies.Methods:A total of 96 patients with ADHD meeting the diagnostic criteria of the American Diagnos-tic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,Fourth Edition(DSM-Ⅳ)were enrolled,48 of whom had comorbid BPD.Impulsivity was assessed with the Barratt Impulse Scale(BIS)and the impulse control difficulty dimensions of Emotional Regulation Difficulty Scale(DERS).Emotion regulation strategies were evaluated with the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire(ERQ).Results:No significant differences were found between the ADHD with and with-out BPD group in cognitive impulsivity,motor impulsivity,or non-planning impulsivity as assessed with the BIS(Ps＞0.05).However,the ADHD with BPD group showed higher scores on the DERS impulse control difficulty subscale(P＜0.001)and less frequent use of cognitive reappraisal strategies(P＜0.001).Cognitive reappraisal partially mediated the relationship between ADHD with BPD and impulse control difficulties,with an effect size of 25.9％.Conclusion:ADHD patients comorbid with BPD exhibit heightened emotional impulsivity,which might be partially mediated by reduced use of cognitive reappraisal.

Objective:To investigate the clinical distribution characteristics changes in antimicrobial resistance, and carbapenemase resistance genes of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from children in Chongqing region during the period of January 2019 to December 2024, providing a basis for the rational use of antibiotics and the prevention and control of nosocomial infections.Methods:An observational study was conducted to retrospectively analyze 5 020 Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) isolates detected in four hospitals of the Southwest Pediatric Laboratory Specialty Alliance. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by the minimum inhibitory concentration method combined with the disk diffusion method. Results were interpreted according to the 2024 Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) standards. Carbapenemase resistance genes were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) combined with Sanger sequencing. WHONET 5.6 was used for resistance analysis and SPSS 19.0 for statistical analysis. The chi-square test was used to assess trends in resistance rates, ESBL detection rates, and resistance rates of different CRKP carbapenemase genotypes from 2019 to 2024. Statistical significance was confirmed if the two-tailed P-value was <0.05. Results:A total of 5 020 strains were isolated, with a detection rate of 5.1% (5 020/99 063). The majority were from sputum (59.2%, 2 970/5 020), followed by pus (17.1%, 857), urine (9.7%, 487), venous blood (6.5%, 326), secretions (2.6%, 130), and other specimens (5.0%, 250).The lowest resistance rate was to amikacin (3.8%), followed by levofloxacin (10.9%), imipenem (19.1%), and meropenem (19.9%). Resistance rates to cefoperazone/sulbactam ( χ2=9.982 0, P=0.001 6), piperacillin/tazobactam ( χ2=10.110 0, P=0.001 5), ceftazidime ( χ2=3.849 0, P=0.049 8), cefotaxime ( χ2=7.605 0, P=0.005 8), cefepime ( χ2=13.510 0, P=0.000 2), aztreonam ( χ2=6.457 0, P=0.011 1), imipenem ( χ2=4.672 0, P=0.030 7), and levofloxacin ( χ2=7.555 0, P=0.006 0) showed an annual increasing trend. The main carbapenemase genes were blaNDM-5 (42.2%, 127/301), blaNDM-1 (33.9%, 102/301), and blaKPC-2 (17.3%, 52/301). Patients with KPC-2-producing strains (median age, 240 days) were older than those with NDM-1/NDM-5-producing strains (median age, 40 days) ( χ2=22.620 0, P<0.000 1). In neonatal wards, the detection rate of NDM-KP was higher than that of KPC-KP (64.6%, 148/229 vs. 26.9%, 14/52, χ2=24.680 0, P<0.000 1), whereas in ICUs, it was lower (6.1%, 14/229 vs. 26.9%, 14/52, χ2=20.450 0, P<0.000 1). Conclusion:In Chongqing region, the isolation rate of K. pneumoniae from sputum was the highest with most cases from neonatal wards. Resistance to carbapenems showed an upward trend. BlaNDM-5 was the predominant genotype in pediatric CRKP. Patients with KPC-KP were older than those with NDM-KP. NDM-KP predominated in neonatal wards, while KPC-KP predominated in ICUs, with KPC-KP showing higher antimicrobial resistance.

Objective To evaluate the reliability of Vitek 2 AST-N335 card for determining the susceptibility of Acinetobacter bauman-nii(AB)to cefoperazone/sulbactam.Methods A total of 318 non-repeated clinical isolates of AB collected in 2023 were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility to cefoperazone/sulbactam using broth microdilution(BMD),the AST-N335 card,and the Kirby-Bauer(K-B)disk diffusion method.Using BMD as the reference method,the reliability of AST-N335 card was assessed,and the accuracy of K-B disk diffusion method as the confirmatory test was validated.Results Compared with BMD,the susceptibility testing of 318 AB strains to cefoperazone/sulbactam using the AST-N335 card showed categorical agreement(CA)of 87.8％(279/318),very major er-ror(VME)of 6.0％(19/318),major error(ME)of 0％(0/318),and minor error(mE)of 1.9％(6/318),which fall outside of the acceptable error range.In contrast,the K-B method achieved CA of 99.4％(316/318),VME of 0％,ME of 0.3％(1/318),and mE of 0.3％(1/318),all within acceptable limits.Of these,the errors with AST-N335 card occurred within the minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC)range of 8-32 μg/mL.Using BMD as the reference method,further analysis was performed on the 171 AB strains with AST-N335 card MIC values of 8-32 μg/mL for cefoperazone/sulbactam.It was revealed that at MIC of 32 μg/mL,the CA was 0％;at MIC of 16 μg/mL,CA was 5.3％(1/19)and VME rate was 84.2％(16/19),both of which substantially exceeded accepta-ble error ranges.At MIC of 8 μg/mL,the CA was 94.9％(131/138)and VME was 2.2％(3/138),both approaching the acceptable ranges.Conclusion The results obtained with Vitek 2 AST-N335 card in determining for cefoperazone/sulbactam are unreliable when the MIC values fall within the range of 8-32 μg/mL,which leads to an underestimation of the resistance rate to cefoperazone/sulbac-tam.This issue requires urgent attention in both laboratories and clinical practice.The K-B disk diffusion method could serve as a sup-plementary verification approach in routine laboratories.

Objective To explore the design and clinical application of the bedsheet with postural markers during gastroscopy.Methods A total of 100 outpatients who underwent gastroscopy for the first time in Digestive Endoscopy Center of The First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from November to December 2021 were selected as research objects by convenience sampling coin method.They were randomly divided into experimental group(n=54)and control group(n=46).The bedsheets with postural markers were used in the experimental group,and ordinary disposable sheets were used in the control group during gastroscopy.One-time success rate of postural placement,time from guidance to completion of postural placement,and patient satisfaction were compared between the 2 groups.Results The time from guidance to completion of postural placement in the experimental group was shorter than that in the control group([7.07±2.44]vs[18.36±5.12]),and the one-time success rate of postural placement(96.30% vs 13.04% )and patient satisfaction([95.76±4.32]vs[68.46±7.59])in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.01).Conclusion The clinical application of bedsheets with postural markers during gastroscopy can significantly increase the efficiency of postural placement,shorten the guidance time before operation,maximize the utilization rate of examination beds,and improve patient satisfaction.

Objective:This study explores the relationship between emotional dysregulation, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) symptoms using network models.Method:A total of 967 children with ADHD comorbid ODD were recruited from the outpatient department of Peking University Sixth Hospital from September 2002 to June 2022. All subjects were rated for the ADHD symptom severity using the ADHD symptom rating scale. ODD symptoms and emotional dysregulation symptoms were assessed by the Children′s Clinical Diagnostic Interview Scale, and the Conners′ Parent Symptom Questionnaire. R (version 4.2.1) packages mgm, qgraph, bnlearn, etc. were used for network analysis, and centrality indices were calculated to define central symptoms and bridge symptoms. Results:The relationship between emotional dysregulation and ODD symptoms was closer. ODD symptoms had higher strength indices, especially the items "gets annoyed or irritated by the behavior of adults"(strength=3.57) and "loses temper or gets angry with adults when does not get his or her own way"(strength=2.32). Emotional dysregulation symptoms had a higher bridge strength indices, with "temper outbursts, explosive and unpredictable behavior" (bridge strength=2.64) as the most prominent item. Bayesian network analysis showed that ADHD symptoms were at the upper of DAG, directly linked with emotional dysregulation symptoms and indirectly linked with ODD symptoms through emotional dysregulation symptoms.Conclusion:Emotional dysregulation symptoms were more closely associated with ODD symptoms than ADHD symptoms, and might potentially acted as bridge symptoms between ADHD and ODD. ADHD symptoms might drive ODD symptoms indirectly through emotional dysregulation symptoms.

Objective:To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability (FLACC) Pain Behavioral Scale, the Children′s Hospital of Eastern Ontario Pain Scale (CHEOPS), and the Objective Pain Scale (OPS) during the general anesthesia recovery period in children with oral therapy, and to explore their screening ability for pain risk, so as to provide information for selecting appropriate pain assessment scales for pediatric patients.Methods:One hundred and four pediatric patients with oral therapy under general anesthesia were recruited at the Stomatological Hospital of Southern Medical University from January to May, 2024. Two researchers observed simultaneously and scored independently using three scales in random order at 15 minutes and 60 minutes after patients arrival at post anesthesia care unit (PACU). Those awake patients also used the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale to report their pain. Internal consistency, inter-rater coefficient, construct and criterion validity of three scales were evaluated.Results:The final sample included 97 patients (50 males and 47 females), with an age of (4.88 ± 1.10) years. At 15 minutes and 60 minutes upon arrival at PACU, the Cronbach alpha coefficients for internal consistency of the FLACC, the CHEOPS, and the OPS were 0.993, 0.980, 0.990, and 0.991, 0.974, 0.989, respectively; the inter-rater correlation coefficients were 0.993, 0.985, 0.998, and 0.985, 0.984, 0.984, respectively; exploratory factor analysis extracted one factor from each scale, and cumulative variance contribution rates were 95.116%, 82.145%, 78.417%, and 89.706%, 67.652%, 75.978%, respectively. At 60 minutes upon arrival at PACU, the Spearman correlation coefficients between three scales and the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating scale were 0.621, 0.703, 0.588, respectively; Kappa coefficients of three scales were 0.608, 0.683, 0.520, and area under the ROC curve were 0.812, 0.839, 0.812, respectively.Conclusions:The three scales show good reliability and acceptable validity for assessing pain during the general anesthesia recovery period in children with oral therapy. The CHEOPS performs better in pain screening, followed by the FLACC, the OPS.
