Objective The aim of this study is to discuss the causal relationship between periodontal disease(PD)and prostate cancer(PCa).Methods A two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization(MR)analysis based on publicly statistical data from genome-wide association studies(GWAS)was conducted.MR Egger,weighted medium,simple mode and weighted mode were supplemented,while inverse variance weighted analysis(IVW)was the main method of analysis.Heterogeneity testing,pleiotropy testing and leave-one-out testing were used to assess the sensitivity and stabili-ty.Results The results of MR analysis showed that PD had no significant impact on the occurrence of PCa:East Asian(IVW,PD:OR=1.07,P=0.48);European(IVW,PD:OR=1.00,P=0.37,periodontitis:OR=1.03,P=0.14,chronic gingivitis:OR=0.99,P=0.37,chronic periodontitis:OR=1.03,P=0.22).The reverse MR analysis also did not show a causal relationship between PCa and PD:East Asian(IVW,PD:OR=0.97,P=0.22);European(IVW,PD:OR=0.84,P=0.44,periodontitis:OR=1.01,P=0.75,chronic gingivitis:OR=0.93,P=0.23,chronic periodontitis:OR=0.99,P=0.80).The results of other analysis were consistent with those of IVW analysis.Conclusions The results of our two-sample bidirectional MR analysis do not support a causal relationship between PD and PCa.

Postoperative infection of internal fixation of closed fractures the lower limbs in adults represents a devastating complication, characterized by diagnostic challenges, prolonged treatment duration and high disability rates. Current management of these infections faces multiple challenges, such as difficulties in early accurate diagnosis, and various controversies about the treatment plan, leading to poor overall diagnosis and treatment results. To address these issues, based on evidence-based medicine and principles with emphasis on scientific rigor, clinical applicability and innovation, the Trauma Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Orthopedics Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Trauma Orthopedics and Polytrauma Group of the Resuscitation and Emergency Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association have collaboratively organized a panel of relevant experts to develop the Guideline for diagnosis and treatment of infection after internal fixation of closed lower limb fractures in adults ( version 2025). The guideline proposed 10 recommendations, aiming to provide a foundation for standardized diagnosis and treatment of postoperative infection in adults with closed lower limb fractures.

BackgroundAttention deficit hyperactivity disorder （ADHD） is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by age-inappropriate inattention， excessive activities incongruous with setting， and emotional impulsivity. Subthreshold ADHD （sADHD） is clinically defined as the presence of ADHD symptoms that do not meet the full diagnostic criteria for ADHD. Children with sADHD exhibit deficits in executive function， demonstrate more conduct， learning， and anxiety-related problems compared to typically developing children， and show even poorer working memory performance than children diagnosed with ADHD. Currently， there is limited epidemiological research on sADHD in China， with few studies simultaneously investigating the prevalence of both ADHD and sADHD in children. ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of ADHD and sADHD among children aged 6–13 years in Chongqing， analyzing their distribution characteristics within this population， with the aim of providing references for developing preventive measures against both ADHD and sADHD. MethodsFrom October to November 2023， a total of 3 398 students in grades 1–6 from six primary schools in Jiangbei District， Chongqing were selected using a stratified cluster random sampling method. The occurrence of ADHD and sADHD was evaluated by using the short version （18-item version） of the Swanson， Nolan， and Pelham IV rating scales （SNAP-IV） and the Chinese vision of Schedule for Affective Disorder and Schizophrenia for School-aged Children-Present and Lifetime Version （K-SADS-PL）. ResultsThe ADHD detection rate among children in Chongqing was 1.90% （95% CI： 0.014–0.024）. Boys showed a significantly higher ADHD detection rate than girls （χ²=7.733， P=0.005）. No statistically significant differences were found in ADHD detection rates across different grades or age groups （χ²=7.347， 12.362， P>0.05）. The sADHD detection rate was 6.32% （95% CI： 0.054–0.072）. Similarly， boys exhibited significantly higher sADHD detection rates than girls （χ²=21.005， P<0.01）. Significant differences emerged across different grades （χ²=20.559， P=0.001）， while no statistically significant difference was observed in age groups （χ²=12.070， P=0.060）. ConclusionThe ADHD detection rates were comparable across all grade levels and age groups from 6–13 years old. Second-grade children demonstrated notably higher sADHD rates compared to other grades， while boys demonstrated higher prevalence rates than girls for both ADHD and sADHD. ［Funded by Science and Health Joint Medical Research Project in Jiangbei District， Chongqing City in the Second Half of 2023 （number， 2023JBKWLH022）］

Objective:This study aimed to clarify the clinical characteristics of children infected with rhinovirus in the context of the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and to explore the impact of recent COVID-19 infection history on their clinical features.Methods:Clinical data and laboratory test result of 286 children diagnosed with rhinovirus infection at Hangzhou Children′s Hospital from July 2022 to October 2023 were collected. A retrospective survey was conducted to determine whether all study participants had a history of COVID-19 infection within the 6 months prior to hospitalization.Results:Among the 286 children with rhinovirus infection, 180 (62.94%) had simple rhinovirus infection, while 106 (37.06%) had co-infections with other pathogens; Among the 180 rhinovirus simplex-positive children, 56.67% had wheezing symptoms; among them, 15 cases (15/180, 8.33%) were diagnosed with acute asthma attacks; 7 cases (7/180, 3.88%) were diagnosed with severe pneumonia. Based on whether the children had a history of COVID-19 infection in the 6 months prior to hospitalization, they were divided into a group with previous COVID-19 infection and a group without previous COVID-19 infection. There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of gender, age of onset, peak fever, incidence of wheezing, incidence of pneumonia, proportion of severe pneumonia, proportion of severe asthma attacks, duration of fever, time to relief of wheezing, length of stay, white blood cell count, eosinophil count, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, immunoglobulin E, oxygen therapy requirements, and use of intravenous steroids ( P>0.05). Conclusions:A history of COVID-19 infection in the past 6 months does not exacerbate the clinical symptoms of children with rhinovirus infection, nor does it increase the incidence of wheezing.

Objective To compare ablation ranges of single and double needle microwave ablation(MWA)of pig lung in vivo.Methods Five healthy Bama miniature pigs were enrolled.Single needle(single needle group)and parallel double needle MWA(double needle group)were performed successively on bilateral lungs,respectively.Adverse event during MWA was evaluated according to common terminology criteria for adverse events(CTCAE).The long diameter(D1CT),short diameter(D2CT),longitudinal diameter(D3CT)and volume(V)of ablation foci were measured and calculated based on CT images immediately after MWA,whereas D1,s D2s and sphericity of ablation foci were also obtained based on specimen and compared between groups.Results D1CT,D2CT,D3CT and V,as well as D1S,D2S and sphericity of ablation foci in single needle group were all significantly smaller than those in double needle group(all P＜0.01).Mild pneumothorax(CTCAE grade 1)was found in 1 pig(1/5,20.00%)in single needle group,while mild pneumothorax and pulmonary hemorrhage(both CTCAE grade 1)occurred in 1 pig(1/5,20.00%)in double needle group.No other adverse event was observed.Conclusion Compared with single needle MWA,double needle MWA of pig lung in vivo resulted larger ablation range and more spherically shaped ablation foci.

BACKGROUND:For non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head,if the femoral head collapses,it will have a great impact on the normal life of the patients.Thus,it is necessary to use an appropriate way to evaluate the risk of femoral head collapse and then to take targeted measures to delay the process of femoral head collapse. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the natural course of early osteonecrosis of the femoral head(without collapse)under different locations of necrotic lesions. METHODS:121 patients(191 hips)with early non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head who were treated in the Outpatient Department of Honghui Hospital Affiliated to Xi'an Jiaotong University from October 2016 to October 2017 were enrolled in this study.The clinical data of all patients were followed up for 5 years to observe the collapse of osteonecrosis of the femoral head and the risk coefficient of femoral head collapse among different JIC types.The collapse rate of osteonecrosis of the femoral head was calculated during the follow-up. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)A total of 191 hips were included in this study.The femoral head collapsed in 86 hips during follow-up,with a total collapse rate of 45.0%.Among the influencing factors,age,ARCO stage and JIC classification were the main influencing factors of femoral head collapse(P<0.05),but body mass index,sex,incidence side and pathogenic factors were not the main influencing factors(P>0.05).(2)Among 191 hips,in JIC classification,the total collapse rates of type A,type B,type C1 and type C2 were 11.1%(2/18),30.2%(16/53),52.4%(43/82),and 65.8%(25/38),respectively.There were significant differences in the total collapse rate of the femoral head among all types(P<0.05).The collapse risk results showed that the collapse risk of type B,type C1 and type C2 was 2.41,5.22 and 7.89 times higher than that of type A,respectively.(3)Both JIC classification and ARCO stage were correlated with femoral head collapse(P<0.01).There was no significant difference in the collapse rate of the femoral head among all JIC types in ARCO I stage hips(P>0.05).In the hips with ARCO II stage,the collapse rates of the femoral head of JIC types A,B,C1 and C2 were 1.2%,19.5%,50.0%and 29.3%,respectively,and there were significant differences in the collapse rates among different types(P<0.05).(4)During follow-up,the collapse rates of the femoral head in the first to fifth years were 29.3%,7.9%,4.7%,2.6%and 0.5%,respectively.(5)Results showed that for early non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head,the risk of collapse of osteonecrosis of the femoral head is high within one year,and the location of the focus of osteonecrosis affects the risk of collapse of the femoral head.The effect of the location of the focus on the prognosis of the disease should be considered in clinical treatment.

Objective:To integrate the experience of terminal care of nurses in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) .Methods:Qualitative and mixed studies related to the terminal care by neonatal and pediatric nurses were systematically searched on the Cochrane Library, the Australia Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence-based Health Care Center Database, PubMed, EBSCO, Web of Science, CINAHL, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, VIP and the China Biomedical Medicine Database. The search time limit was from the establishment of the database to May 2022. The article quality was evaluated using the quality evaluation criteria for qualitative research of the Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence-Based Health Care Center (2016). Meta-synthesis was performed using the aggregation integration method.Results:A total of 9 articles were included. A total of 32 research results were extracted and summarized into 7 categories, forming 3 integrated results, including the ethical dilemmas and complex care experiences of nurses in NICU and PICU during the implementation of palliative care, the attitudes and coping strategies of neonatal and pediatric nurses in responding to death events, the realistic dilemmas and needs of nurses in NICU and PICU during terminal care.Conclusions:Terminal care in NICU and PICU requires multiple efforts. Hospital managers should pay attention to the emotional burden of nurses during terminal care, and enhance their positive coping ability, and focus on improving the terminal care environment and resources in NICU and PICU to provide high-quality terminal care services for children.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of action of Dingchuan granules in intervening respiratory syncytial virus pneumonia based on network pharmacology and animal experiments.Methods The potential active ingredients and targets of each traditional Chinese medicine in Dingchuan granules were obtained from TCMSP and TCMID databases,and the active ingredients of the drugs in Dingchuan granules were screened according to ADME pharmacokinetic parameters;the potential disease targets of respiratory syncytial virus pneumonia were obtained from Genecards,OMIM,and DisGeNet databases;the protein-interaction networks of intersecting targets were visualized by using String platform;the key core targets were visualized by using David database;and the intersection targets were visualized by using David database.Interaction networks were constructed using the String platform to visualize the intersecting targets;GO functional enrichment and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses of the key core targets were performed using the David database;and then the relevant networks for the intervention of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Pneumonia in the Dingchuan particles were constructed using the Cytoscape software(3.9.1).Respiratory syncytial virus(RSV)-induced respiratory syncytial virus pneumonia in young rats was selected for experimental validation.Results The results of the network pharmacology showed that the 177 potential active ingredients of Dingchuan granules acted on 144 targets,and there were 1075 targets related to respiratory syncytial virus pneumonia,and 55 drug-disease intersecting targets were obtained,of which 25 core targets were ALB,IL6,CASP3,EGFR,VEGFA,etc.The GO function of Dingchuan granules was also investigated,and the GO function of Dingchuan was investigated.The results of GO function enrichment analysis showed that the biological processes involved mainly include positive regulation of transcription,positive regulation of RNA polymerase II promoter transcription,positive regulation of gene expression,negative regulation of apoptosis,etc.The KEGG pathway enrichment mainly involves the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway,the cancer pathway,the tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway,the IL-17 signaling pathway and so on.The KEGG pathway enrichment mainly involves PI3K-Akt signaling pathway,tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway,IL-17 signaling pathway,etc.Animal experiments initially showed that the fixed wheezing granules can play a role in inflammation and immune response by regulating the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway,thus participating in the inflammatory and immune response.Compared with the normal group,the ratios of p-PI3K/PI3K and p-Akt/Akt in the lung tissues of young rats in the model group were significantly higher(P<0.05),the viral load was significantly higher(P<0.05),the pathological score of lung tissue damage was significantly higher(P<0.05),and the content of inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α in alveolar lavage fluid(BALF)was significantly higher(P<0.05).Compared with the model group,the expression of p-PI3K/PI3K and p-Akt/Akt proteins in the lung tissues of young rats in each dose group and the positive control group was reduced(P<0.05),the viral load was significantly reduced(P<0.05),the pathological scores of lung tissue injury were significantly reduced(P<0.05),and the contents of inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α in BALF were significantly reduced(P<0.05).Conclusion The study revealed the synergistic mechanism of multi-component,multi-target,and multi-pathway action of Dingchuan granules for the treatment of respiratory syncytial virus pneumonia.It was verified by animal experiments that RSV infection in young rats probably activated the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway,which caused the release of inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α.Dingchuan granules could effectively down-regulate the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway,inhibit the release of inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α,and thus achieve the anti-inflammatory effect.
