ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of three-dimensional foot-ankle exercises (3DFAE) on mild-to-moderate hallux valgus in young women. MethodsFrom October to December, 2024, 45 female patients aged 18 to 26 years with hallux valgus were recruited from Capital University of Physical Education and Sports. They were randomly divided into control group (n = 15), toe-spread-out (TSO) group (n = 15) and 3DFAE group (n = 15). The control group only received foot health education, while the two intervention groups performed corresponding exercise training, for four weeks. Hallux valgus angle (HVA) was measured with photographic method, abductor hallucis activation was detected with surface electromyography, cross-sectional area of abductor hallucis was measured with Doppler ultrasound, and active ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM) was assessed with a goniometer, before intervention, immediately after intervention, and four weeks after training cessation. A perceived difficulty scale was adopted to evaluate the training difficulty of TSO group and 3DFAE group at the first training session and upon completion of intervention. ResultsThe effects of time and interaction were significant for bilateral HVA, abductor hallucis activation, cross-sectional area of abductor hallucis and ankle dorsiflexion ROM (F > 2.728, P < 0.05), and the effect of group of left ankle dorsiflexion ROM was also significant (F = 4.995, P < 0.05). After intervention, bilateral HVA, abductor hallucis activation, cross-sectional area of abductor hallucis and ankle dorsiflexion ROM were all better than those before intervention (P < 0.05), and most indicators were superior to those measured at the 4-week follow-up (P < 0.05). The left ankle dorsiflexion ROM was better in 3DFAE group than in the control group and TSO group (P < 0.05). At the first intervention session, the perceived training difficulty was lower in 3DFAE group than in TSO group (t = 3.334, P = 0.002), and it decreased (t = 5.292, P < 0.001) after four weeks of training in TSO group, with no significant difference compared with 3DFAE group (P > 0.05). Conclusion3DFAE can improve ankle dorsiflexion ROM in young female patients with hallux valgus, with no more difficulty than TSO, and lower initial operation difficulty.

OBJECTIVE:To learn from the experience of foreign listed chimeric antigen receptor T lymphocyte (CAR-T) products in signing risk sharing agreements in medical insurance access ,so as to provide references for relevant decisions of medical insurance departments in China. METHODS :Taking 9 risk sharing agreements of CAR-T products marketed in the United Kingdom,France,Italy and Germany as samples ,the international experience of medical insurance payment of CAR-T products were analyzed from six dimensions ,such as agreement types ,monitoring indicators ,data collection metho ds,agreement periods , payment conditions and payment methods. Some suggestions were put forward for the medical insurance access of these products in China. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS :Four sample countries generally signed risk sharing agreements of medical insurance access (financial agreement and performance-based agreement )with pharmaceutical enterprises ;the indicators such as progressive disease and progression-free survival were collected by using data collection system or clinical research data ,so as to monitor the efficacy and safety of CAR-T products. The agreement periods and payment conditions were determined according to different agreement types;“medical insurance advance payment ”or“pharmaceutical enterprise advance payment ”combined with “staged payments ” were adopted for risk control. Solving the risk of medical insurance funds caused by “efficacy uncertainty ”is the core issue of CAR-T product access. The induction of risk sharing agreements may be the way to solve this problem ,and the scientific design of the various elements of risk sharing agreements is a prerequisite to ensure that the agreement is operational.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of Kawasaki disease(KD)with complications of acute abdominal disease and to improve the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of patients.Methods:A total of 2 931 cases with KD hospitalized from January 2016 to December 2019 in our department were retrospectively analyzed, including 14 children with acute abdominal disease(acute abdomen group). And 62 patients with KD but without acute abdominal disease were randomly selected as the control group.The clinical characteristics, laboratory examination and treatment between two groups were compared and analyzed.Results:There were 8 males and 6 females.The average age of patients was(4.46±0.74) years.Compared with control group, there was no significant difference in age, sex and proportion of coronary artery injury in acute abdomen group( P>0.05). Acute abdominal disease group were more likely to have gastrointestinal symptoms, intravenous immunoglobulin(IVIG) resistance and longer fever duration( P<0.05). C-reactive protein(CRP), alanine aminotransferase(ALT), aspartate aminotransferase(AST), γ-glutamyltranspeptidase(GGT) and total bilirubin(TBIL) in acute abdominal disease group were significantly higher( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in white blood cell, erythroayte sedimentation rate, hemoglobin, platelet, Na + , albumin between two groups( P>0.05). All of the 14 patients used IVIG, 3 of them were treated with hormone(methylprednisolone)and 1 patient accepted infliximab.All patients were discharged from hospital.After follow-up for 6 months to 3 years, all patients had no sequelae of digestive system. Conclusion:KD can be complicated with acute abdominal disease, some of which as the first symptom.Gastrointestinal manifestations such as abdominal pain are common.For children with obvious gastrointestinal symptoms, IVIG resistance, and long duration of fever, attention should be paid to the possibility of acute abdominal disease.For children with significantly elevated CRP, ALT, AST, GGT, and TBIL should to be alert to the possibility of acute abdominal disease.KD complicated with acute abdominal disease generally has good prognosis.It is important to treat KD in the first place.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and prognostic factors in children with idi-opathic pulmonary arterial hypertension(IPAH). Methods The data of children with IPAH diagnosed in Beijing Children′s Hospital from January 2006 to December 2015 were collected. The cases were divided into survival group and death group according to the prognosis. The risk factors influencing prognosis in children with IPAH were identified by Logistic regression analysis. Results Total 26 patients were enrolled in this study,and 17 of them survived and 9 of them were dead. IPAH was found to be more common in school-age children. The average age of the patients was(6. 6 ± 3. 6)years and the male to female ratio was 1. 17∶1. All of the children had the symptoms with decreased activity tolerance and fatigue. The incidence of syncope and dyspnea and edema of lower extremity were 34. 6%,23. 1%. Accentuated pulmonic second sound(P2) was detected in 92. 3% of patients during physical examination, which was also the most common sign. About 50. 0% patients were functional class Ⅲ-Ⅳ. Echocardiography showed that all childrens′ mean pulmonary artery systolic pressure(PASP) was(79. 0 ± 20. 3) mmHg(1 mmHg=0. 133 kPa) and 16 of them with right ventricular dilatation. Electrocardiogram with ST-T changes and right ventricular high voltage were common. The average plasma level of brain natriuretic peptide(BNP) in all cases was(870. 4 ± 720. 9) pg/ml. The single factor analysis illustrated that syncope(OR=26. 25,95%CI 3. 04 -226. 60,P=0. 003),heart func-tional class Ⅲ-Ⅳ(OR=19. 199,95%CI 1. 88 -196. 53, P=0. 0128), PASP≥70 mmHg(OR =9. 936, 95%CI 1. 81-∞,P=0. 005),BNP≥850 pg/ml(OR=59. 991,95%CI 4. 69-767. 62,P=0. 002) indica-ted the worse outcome. Conclusion IPAH in children is rare and the prognosis is poor. Syncope, cardiac function grade,PASP and the levels of BNP are the main important factors affecting the prognosis of children with IPAH. BNP has important clinical significance for the evaluation of IPAH and the prognosis of the disease.
