ObjectiveThis paper aims to observe the syndrome improvement and negative antigen conversion rate of Qingxuan Daozhi formula in the treatment of influenza in children (heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome). MethodsThrough a multi-center randomized controlled methodology design,confirmed influenza cases were collected from October 2022 to April 2023 in the pediatrics department of eight hospitals,such as Dongfang Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. A total of 180 children with influenza and heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome conforming to the standard were recruited through the clinic. The sick children meeting the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into groups by a block-randomized method. The children in the experimental group were treated with Qingxuan Daozhi formula for five days,and those in the control group were treated with Oseltamivir Phosphate Granules for five days. The primary efficacy indicator was the negative conversion rate of influenza antigen detection. Secondary efficacy indicators were the Canadian acute respiratory illness and flu scale (CARIFS) and the incidence of complications,severe cases, and critical cases. Follow-up observation was conducted on the day of enrollment,48 hours after medication,72 hours after medication, and (6+1) d after medication. ResultsOne hundred and eighty participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group (90 cases) or the control group (90 cases). All participants were followed up during the study. Comparison of influenza antigen detection results in the primary efficacy indicators showed that the average time of negative influenza antigen conversion in the experimental group was (5.29±1.25) d,and that in the control group was (5.40±1.68) d,without a statistically significant difference. After five days of intervention,52 cases in the experimental group and 51 cases in the control group converted to negative,without a statistically significant difference. CARIFS score results in the secondary efficacy indicators showed that during 72 hours after intervention,there were statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in three dimensions, including headache,muscle soreness, and the need for extra care (P<0.05). On the (6+1) days after the intervention,the differences in both the experimental group and the control group were statistically significant in 10 dimensions, including sore throat,bad sleep,uncomfortable feeling,poor spirit and fatigue,crying more than usual,the need for extra care,symptom,function,influence on parents,and total score (P<0.05). The comparison results within the group in the dimensional scores of symptom, function, and influence on parents,as well as the CARIFS total score showed that with the delay of follow-up time,scores of both groups decreased significantly,with a statistically significant difference (P<0.01). Inter-group comparison results showed that the mean score of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group at the time of enrollment. With the progress of intervention,the score of the experimental group was significantly decreased compared with that of the control group. At the end of follow-up,the mean score of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group,with no statistically significant difference. In terms of the incidence of complications,severe cases, and critical cases, there were no complications,severe cases, and critical cases in the two groups,without a statistically significant difference. ConclusionThe symptom improvement effect and negative antigen conversion rate of Qingxuan Daozhi formula in the treatment of influenza in children (heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome) are not inferior to Oseltamivir Phosphate granules, and children's acceptance is better. It can be more widely used in clinical treatment of influenza in children (heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome).

ObjectiveTo analyze the data structure and standards of rehabilitation outpatient medical records, to provide data support for improving the quality of rehabilitation outpatient care and developing medical insurance payment policies. MethodsBased on the normative documents issued by the National Health Commission, Basic Standards for Medical Record Writing and Standards for Electronic Medical Record Sharing Documents, in accordance with the Quality Management Regulations for Outpatient (Emergency) Diagnosis and Treatment Information Pages (Trial), reference to the framework of the World Health Organization Family of International Classifications (WHO-FICs), the data framework and content of rehabilitation outpatient medical records were determined, and the data standards were discussed. ResultsThis study constructed a data framework for rehabilitation outpatient medical records, including four main components: patient basic information, visit process information, diagnosis and treatment information, and cost information. Three major reference classifications of WHO-FICs, International Classification of Diseases, International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, and International Classification of Health Interventions,were used to establish diagnostic standards and standardized terminology, as well as coding disease diagnosis, functional description, functional assessment, and rehabilitation interventions, to improve the quality of data reporting, and level of quality control in rehabilitation. ConclusionThe structuring and standardization of rehabilitation outpatient medical records are the foundation for sharing of rehabilitation data. The using of the three major classifications of WHO-FICs is valuable for the terminology and coding of disease diagnosis, functional description and assessment, and intervention in rehabilitation outpatient medical records, which is significant for sharing and interconnectivity of rehabilitation outpatient data, as well as for optimizing the quality and safety of rehabilitation medical services.

ObjectiveTo explore the standardization of inpatient rehabilitation medical record summary sheet, encompassing its structure, content and data standards, to enhance the standardization level of inpatient rehabilitation medical record summary sheet, improve data reporting quality, and provide accurate data support for medical insurance payment, hospital performance evaluation, and rehabilitation discipline evaluation. MethodsBased on the relevant specifications of the National Health Commission's Basic Norms for Medical Record Writing, Specifications for Sharing Documents of Electronic Medical Records, and Quality Management and Control Indicators for Inpatient Medical Record Summary Sheet (2016 Edition), this study analyzed the structure and content of the inpatient rehabilitation medical record summary sheet. The study systematically applied the three major reference classifications of the World Health Organization Family of International Classifications, International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10/ICD-11, ICD-9-CM-3), International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), and International Classification of Health Interventions (ICHI Beta-3), for disease diagnosis, functional description and assessment, and rehabilitation intervention, forming a standardized terminology system and coding methods. ResultsThe inpatient rehabilitation medical record summary sheet covered four major sections: inpatient information, hospitalization information, diagnosis and treatment information, and cost information. ICD-10/ICD-11 were the standards and coding tools for admission and discharge diagnoses in the inpatient rehabilitation medical record summary sheet. The three functional assessment tools recommended by ICD-11, the 36-item version of World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0, Brief Model Disability Survey and Generic Functioning domains, as well as ICF, were used for rehabilitation functioning assessment and the coding of outcomes. ICHI Beta-3 and ICD-9-CM-3 were used for coding surgical procedures and operations in the medical record summary sheet, and also for coding rehabilitation intervention items. ConclusionThe inpatient rehabilitation medical record summary sheet is a summary of the relevant content of the rehabilitation medical record and a tool for reporting inpatient rehabilitation data. It needs to be refined and optimized according to the characteristics of rehabilitation, with necessary data supplemented. The application of ICD-11/ICD-10, ICF and ICHI Beta-3/ICD-9-CM-3 classification standards would comprehensively promote the accuracy of inpatient diagnosis of diseases and functions. Based on ICD-11 and ICF, relevant functional assessment result data would be added, and ICHI Beta-3/ICD-9-CM-3 should be used to code rehabilitation interventions. Improving the quality of rehabilitation medical records and inpatient rehabilitation medical record summary sheet is an important part of rehabilitation quality control, and also lays an evidence-based data foundation for the analysis and application of inpatient rehabilitation medical record summary sheet.

Objective To investigate the situation and influencing factors of preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) among dust-exposed workers in a wooden furniture manufacturing enterprise. Methods A total of 562 dust-exposed workers from a wooden furniture enterprise in Guangdong Province were selected as the study subjects using the convenience sampling method. The result of health-status questionnaire and occupational medical examinations among the participants were studied, and the influencing factors of PRISm were studied using the binary logistic regression analysis method. Results The detection rate of PRISm was 22.1% (124/562) among the study subjects. Binary logistic regression result showed that male workers had a higher risk of PRISm than female workers (P<0.01). Current smokers had a higher risk of PRISm than non-smokers (P<0.05). Workers with longer duration of exposure to occupational hazards had a higher risk of PRISm (P<0.05), those with higher grade of small-airway dysfunction had a higher risk of PRISm (P<0.01). In terms of body mass index, overweight or obese workers showed a higher detection rate of PRISm than those with normal weight (P<0.01). Greater amount of smoking pack per year had a higher risk of PRISm (P<0.01). Conclusion Dust-exposed workers in the wooden furniture manufacturing industry show a relatively high detection rate of PRISm. Male, current smoker, longer duration of exposure to occupational hazards, small airway dysfunction, overweight or obese, and smoking pack per year are influencing factors of PRISm among the dust-exposed workers in the wooden furniture manufacturing industry.

ObjectiveTo investigate the influence of platelet-albumin-bilirubin (PALBI) score on the textbook outcome (TO) of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after hepatectomy, as well as the association of different PALBI scores before surgery with the achievement of TO after hepatectomy in HCC patients. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the data of HCC patients who underwent hepatectomy in West China Hospital of Sichuan University and Ziyang Central Hospital from January 2013 to January 2022. TO was defined as no serious complication within 30 days after surgery, no death within 90 days, no rehospitalization within 30 days after discharge, no blood transfusion in the perioperative period, RO resection, and no prolongation of hospital stay. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. The univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to investigate the influencing factors for the achievement of TO after hepatectomy in HCC patients. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot the survival curves of HCC patients, and the Log-rank test was used for comparison. ResultsA total of 3 599 patients were included in this study, among whom 2 369 (65.8%) achieved TO. The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that PALBI grade (PALBI grade 2: odds ratio [OR]=1.562, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.308 — 1.864, P<0.001; PALBI grade 3: OR=2.216, 95%CI: 1.463 — 3.359, P<0.001) was an independent risk factor for achievement of TO after surgery in HCC patients. The proportion of patients achieving TO decreased with the increase in PALBI grade. Among the patients with PALBI grade 1, 2 or 3, the patients achieving TO accounted for 70.2%, 54.2%, and 38.4%, respectively (χ2=106.295, P<0.001). The incidence rate of serious complications within 30 days, the mortality rate of patients within 90 days after hepatectomy, readmission rate within 30 days after discharge, perioperative blood transfusion rate, and the rate of prolonged hospital stay all increased with the increase in PALBI grade (all P<0.05). For the patients achieving TO, the 1-, 3-, and 5-year relapse-free survival rates were 79.5%, 60.6%, and 51.5%, respectively, and the overall survival rates were 92.1%, 80.0%, and 71.1%, respectively; for those who did not achieve TO, the 1-, 3-, and 5-year relapse-free survival rates were 68.5%, 52.7%, and 46.2%, respectively, and the overall survival rates were 83.3%, 66.0%, and 57.1%, respectively. The patients who achieved TO had significantly better relapse-free survival rate and overall survival rate than those who did not achieve TO (χ2=18.936 and 79.371, both P<0.001). ConclusionPreoperative PALBI grade can affect the achievement of TO after hepatectomy in HCC patients, and it is more difficult for patients with a higher PALBI grade to achieve TO. Preoperative PALBI score can be used to early identify the patients with a high risk of postoperative complications, provide early intervention, and enhance perioperative management, thereby improving the perioperative safety and long-term prognosis of HCC patients after hepatectomy.

This study primarily aimed to investigate the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) and other common pathogens of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in spermatozoa of infertile men and their effects on semen parameters. These pathogens included Ureaplasma urealyticum, Ureaplasma parvum, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma genitalium , herpes simplex virus 2, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus agalactiae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa , and Staphylococcus aureus . A total of 1951 men of infertile couples were recruited between 23 March 2023, and 17 May 2023, at the Department of Reproductive Medicine of The First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province (Kunming, China). Multiplex polymerase chain reaction and capillary electrophoresis were used for HPV genotyping. Polymerase chain reaction and electrophoresis were also used to detect the presence of other STIs. The overall prevalence of HPV infection was 12.4%. The top five prevalent HPV subtypes were types 56, 52, 43, 16, and 53 among those tested positive for HPV. Other common infections with high prevalence rates were Ureaplasma urealyticum (28.3%), Ureaplasma parvum (20.4%), and Enterococcus faecalis (9.5%). The prevalence rates of HPV coinfection with Ureaplasma urealyticum, Ureaplasma parvum, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma genitalium , herpes simplex virus 2, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus agalactiae , and Staphylococcus aureus were 24.8%, 25.4%, 10.6%, 6.4%, 2.4%, 7.9%, 5.9%, 0.9%, and 1.3%, respectively. The semen volume and total sperm count were greatly decreased by HPV infection alone. Coinfection with HPV and Ureaplasma urealyticum significantly reduced sperm motility and viability. Our study shows that coinfection with STIs is highly prevalent in the semen of infertile men and that coinfection with pathogens can seriously affect semen parameters, emphasizing the necessity of semen screening for STIs.

Objective:To summarize the clinical phenotypes, genotypes, and treatment outcomes of NPRL2-related epilepsy. Methods:This was a case summary.Clinical data of patients with NRPL2 variants admitted to the Department of Pediatrics, Peking University People′s Hospital between October 1, 2013 and October 31, 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.Previous reports of patients with the same disease were reviewed. Results:Six cases of NPRL2-related epilepsy were collected, and 37 cases were reported in the previous literatures.The age of onset ranged from 3 days to 18 years with the median age of 24 months.There were 15 patients with onset in infancy.Among the 41 patients diagnosed with epilepsy, 73.1% (30/41) had focal seizures, 34.1% (14/41) had frontal lobe epilepsy, and 17.1% (7/41) had epileptic spasms.Among the patients with known cranial imaging, 58.6% (17/29) had cortical malformations. NPRL2 variants involved 11 nonsense mutations, 10 splice site mutations, 7 frameshift mutations, 1 large fragment deletion, and 14 missense mutations; among them, 39 mutations were pathogenic or likely pathogenic, while the rest 4 mutations had unclear pathogenicity.Among the 27 patients with known outcomes, 11 (40.7%) had no seizures after administration of 1 or 2 types of drugs, and 16 (59.2%) had drug-resistant epilepsy.Among the 16 patients, 1 had no seizures after treatment with 3 types of anti seizure medications, and 7 had no seizures after surgery.Most patients had varying degrees of delay in intellectual and motor development. Conclusions:Patients with NPRL2 variants usually present with frequent focal seizures and epileptic spasms, and the age of onset varies greatly.About half of the patients have drug-resistant epilepsy, half of whom have cortical malformations.For those with drug-resistant epilepsy and abnormal cranial imaging, surgery may be considered.

Objective:To summarize the phenotype and genotype of leukoencephalopathy with calcifications and cysts(LCC).Methods:A case summary.Clinical, imaging, and genetic data of 2 patients with early-onset LCC admitted to the Department of Pediatrics, Peking University People′s Hospital between December 2023 and August 2024 were retrospectively summarized.A review of the literature was also conducted.Results:Case 1: a 19-month-old female infant presented with febrile seizures in infancy and mild developmental delay.Trio whole-exome sequencing (trio-WES) identified compound heterozygous pathogenic variants in the SNORD118 gene: n.92C>T (paternally inherited) and n. 72A>G (maternally inherited). Case 2: an 11-year-and-4-month-old girl had non-specific encephalopathy in the neonatal period, developmental delay with regression, and seizures since early childhood.Trio-WES revealed compound heterozygous pathogenic variants in SNORD118: n.3C>T (paternally inherited) and n. 57G>C (maternally inherited). Both cases showed typical imaging findings of leukoencephalopathy, intracranial calcifications, and cysts.Case 2 has been treated with Bevacizumab for 3 months and remains under follow-up.Combining this 2 cases with previously reported genetically confirmed cases, a total of 97 LCC patients with identified SNORD118 variants were analyzed.The median age of onset was 5 years.Seventy-one cases had childhood onset, including 31 cases with onset at ≤1 year.The inaugural symptoms were: seizures in 40 patients (41.2%), motor disorders in 25 patients (25.8%), developmental delay or cognitive impairment in 19 patients (19.6%) and headaches or increased intracranial pressure in 13 patients (13.4%). Neurological dysfunctions progress during the course.All patients had typical leukoencephalopathy, intracranial calcifications and cysts, with varied imaging progress.A total of 61 variants of SNORD118 were reported and most were compound heterozygous variants.Treatment is primarily symptomatic.Three out of the 4 patients treated with Bevacizumab showed improvement. Conclusions:LCC is a rare autosomal recessive inherited cerebral microangiopathy, characterized by progressive neurological dysfunction and radiological triad of diffuse and asymmetric leukoencephalopathy, intracranial calcifications and cysts.Patients with pathogenic SNORD118 variants should definitely be diagnosed.Symptomatic treatment is the mainstay therapy and Bevacizumab may slow down the progression.

Osteoporosis is a prevalent skeletal condition characterized by reduced bone mass and strength, leading to increased fragility. Buqi-Tongluo (BQTL) decoction, a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescription, has yet to be fully evaluated for its potential in treating bone diseases such as osteoporosis. To investigate the mechanism by which BQTL decoction inhibits osteoclast differentiation in vitro and validate these findings through in vivo experiments. We employed MTS assays to assess the potential proliferative or toxic effects of BQTL on bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) at various concentrations. TRAcP experiments were conducted to examine BQTL's impact on osteoclast differentiation. RT-PCR and Western blot analyses were utilized to evaluate the relative expression levels of osteoclast-specific genes and proteins under BQTL stimulation. Finally, in vivo experiments were performed using an osteoporosis model to further validate the in vitro findings. This study revealed that BQTL suppressed receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclastogenesis and osteoclast resorption activity in vitro in a dose-dependent manner without observable cytotoxicity. The inhibitory effects of BQTL on osteoclast formation and function were attributed to the downregulation of NFATc1 and c-fos activity, primarily through attenuation of the MAPK, NF-κB, and Calcineurin signaling pathways. BQTL's inhibitory capacity was further examined in vivo using an ovariectomized (OVX) rat model, demonstrating a strong protective effect against bone loss. BQTL may serve as an effective therapeutic TCM for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis and the alleviation of bone loss induced by estrogen deficiency and related conditions.
