Objective To investigate the impact of COVID-19 infection on the early clinical outcomes of patients undergoing valve replacement. Methods Perioperative data of patients who underwent single valve replacement at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chinese People's Liberation Army Medical University from January to February 2023 were consecutively collected. Based on COVID-19 infection status, patients were divided into a COVID-19 group and a non-COVID-19 group. The perioperative data were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 136 patients were included, comprising 53 males and 83 females, with a mean age of (53.4±10.2) years. There were 32 patients receiving aortic valve replacements, 102 mitral valve replacements, and 2 tricuspid valve replacements. The COVID-19 group comprised 70 patients, and the non-COVID-19 group included 66 patients. No statistical difference was observed in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups [9.09% (6/66) vs. 11.43% (8/70), P=0.654]. However, the COVID-19 group had longer postoperative mechanical ventilation duration [1 201.00 (1 003.75, 1 347.75) min vs. 913.50 (465.50, 1 251.00) min, P=0.001] and ICU stay [3 (2, 3) days vs. 2 (2, 3) days, P<0.001] compared to the non-COVID-19 group. Additionally, troponin I [4.76 (2.55, 7.93) ng/mL vs. 2.66 (1.19, 5.65) ng/mL, P=0.001] and brain natriuretic peptide [608.50 (249.75, 1 150.00) pg/mL vs. 192.00 (100.93, 314.75) pg/mL, P<0.001] levels were significantly higher in the COVID-19 group. Conclusion For patients with single valve disease undergoing elective surgery, short-term outcomes after recovery from COVID-19 infection are favorable, with no significant increase in in-hospital mortality or postoperative complication rates.

Small for gestational age (SGA) infants are more likely to experience neurocognitive impairments compared to appropriate for gestational age (AGA) infants. This paper reviews recent research on the neurocognitive development of SGA children. SGA can lead to a "brain-sparing effect" due to growth restriction, which may affect cerebral blood flow and brain structure. However, this does not guarantee normal brain development. Restrictive blood flow can result in changes in brain structure, such as reduced total white matter and gray matter volume in various brain regions, including the cerebral cortex, hippocampus and cerebellum, ultimately leading to decreased head circumference. SGA children also exhibit lower scores in all neurocognitive domains, including intelligence, attention, memory, and executive function. This may result in poor academic performance and an increased risk of social, behavioral, and neurological problems, such as cerebral palsy, epilepsy, visual and hearing impairments, as well as comorbidities like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD), autism spectrum disorder(ASD), anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia. Several risk factors for SGA-related neurocognitive impairments have been identified, including gestational hypertension, abnormal gestational weight, smoking, and catch-up growth. Studies have shown that the best interventions to improve cognitive dysplasia include nutrient supplementation, continued breastfeeding, high-quality education, and appropriate early intervention (responsive parenting) are effective in improving cognitive outcomes for SGA children.

【Objective】 To explore the correlation between different feeding styles of caregivers and diet quality of children with nutritional problems, in order to provide reference for making effective feeding guidance and intervention strategy. 【Methods】 From January 2022 to August 2023, 2- to 6-year-old children who had been enrolled in kindergartens or nurseries and their caregivers from the combined outpatient department of Child Healthcare and Nutrition in Shanghai Children′s Hospital were selected into this study.The amount of dinner served and consumed was obtained through the three-day dinner intake survey, and the Chinese Healthy Eating Index (CHEI) was calculated.Feeding styles were divided into four groups through the Caregiver Feeding Style Questionnaire.Pearson correlation analysis was used to determine the correlation between served and consumed CHEI score.Chi-square test, t-test and ANOVA were used to compare the differences in CHEI score for dinner consumed in children with different feeding styles. 【Results】 1) Totally 133 parent-child pairs were included in this study.There were 68 boys (51.1%) and 65 girls (48.9%), with an average age of (4.6±0.6) years.2) CHEI scores for dinner served was highly correlated with that for dinner consumed (r=0.90, P<0.05).There was statistically significant difference between the CHEI score for dinner served and consumed by authoritative and authoritarian feeding styles (t=2.538, 1.732, P<0.05).3) After adjusting body shape, children in the authoritative feeding style actually completed a significantly higher diet quality CHEI score than those in the authoritarian feeding style (P<0.05).4)Authoritative and indulgent feeding styles had statistical differences in the distribution of children′s body size (χ²=13.587, P=0.035). 【Conclusions】 Parents with authoritarian feeding style and indulgent feeding style have worse control over their children′s dietary completion.Children with authoritative feeding style have higher dietary quality than those with authoritarian feeding style.Children with indulgent feeding style may have a higher proportion of non-low weight than those with authoritative feeding style.Although feeding style could not reverse the outcome of body shape deviation in children with disease, it may have some positive effects.

Abstract OBJECTIVE Linezolid(LZD) is a synthetic oxazolidone antibacterial drug that has activity against most Gram positive bacteria. LZD is widely used in pediatric patients, and its common adverse reactions include gastrointestinal reactions and bone marrow suppression, etc. In recent years, LZD-induced hyperlactatemia has gradually attracted attention. LZD-induced hyperlactatemia can exacerbate the condition of pediatric patients and is associated with high mortality rates in children. However, there is currently a lack of data on the risk factors for LZD-induced hyperlactatemia in pediatric patients. METHODS Therefore, this paper collected and retrospectively analyzed the information of hospitalized pediatric patients who received LZD treatment at the Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from October 2012 to February 2023, including demographic characteristics of pediatric patients and clinical treatment related records, etc. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, this paper identified whether the included pediatric patients had developed hyperlactatemia and evaluated the causal relationship between LZD and hyperlactatemia using the Naranjo's Scale. The risk factors were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression, and the dose-response relationship between risk factors and LZD-induced hyperlactatemia was further analyzed using a restricted cubic spline(RCS) model. RESULTS A total of 331 pediatric patients were included, of which 145 pediatric patients(43.8%) developed LZD-induced hyperlactatemia, including 122 cases of mild hyperlactatemia and 23 cases of severe hyperlactatemia; the causal relationship score of LZD-induced hyperlactatemia was “possibly related” in 87 cases(60.0%) and “highly likely related” in 58 cases(40.0%). The median age of pediatric patients was 3(0.92, 9) years old, with 55.29% males, 25.38% patients with liver disease, 8.76% pediatric patients with kidney disease, and 36.56% pediatric patients with cardiovascular disease; the median number of treatment days for pediatric patients receiving LZD was 13(8, 22) d, with pediatric patients with hyperlactatemia having a longer median number of LZD treatment days than those without hyperlactatemia[16(10, 28) vs 11(7, 18)]; 41.09% of pediatric patients used P-glycoprotein inducers in combination, with more pediatric patients(57.4%) experiencing hyperlactatemia; 53.47% of pediatric patients used P-glycoprotein inhibitors in combination; the median values of lactic acid baseline, creatinine baseline, and baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR) were 0.92(0.80, 0.92)mmol·L-1, 26(18.25, 34.90) μmol·L-1, 179.97(137.23, 222.70)mL·min-1·(1.73 m)-2, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that pediatric patients received longer LZD treatment duration(OR=1.026, P=0.004), and the combination of P-glycoprotein inducers(OR=2.023, P=0.004), higher lactic acid baseline levels(OR=2.408, P=0.022), and lower eGFR(OR=0.997, P=0.047) were independent risk factors for LZD-induced hyperlactatemia. The RCS model showed that as the number of days of LZD treatment increases, the risk of LZD-induced hyperlactatemia increased nonlinearly(P-non-linear=0.041); when the lactic acid baseline value was -1, the risk of LZD-induced hyperlactatemia dramatically increased as the lactic acid baseline value increased, when it was >0.92 mmol·L-1, the risk of LZD-induced hyperlactatemia slowly increased as the lactic acid baseline value increased(P-non-linear=0.013). CONCLUSION This study explores for the first time the risk factors of LZD-induced hyperlactatemia in pediatric patients, including the impact of the interaction between LZD and drugs that affect mitochondrial function, P-glycoprotein inducers, and P-glycoprotein inhibitors on hyperlactatemia. RCS models are used to analyze the dose-response relationships between LZD treatment days, lactic acid baseline values, and the occurrence of LZD-induced hyperlactatemia. When LZD is combined with P-glycoprotein inducers(mainly isoniazid, rifampicin, and ethambutol), the risk of LZD-induced hyperlactatemia increases, and its related mechanisms still need further research. In addition, pediatric patients with renal insufficiency may need to adjust the LZD dosage appropriately to avoid the occurrence of hyperlactatemia. In conclusion, when pediatric patients receive LZD treatment, attention should be paid to risk factors such as lactic acid baseline value, duration of LZD use, combined use of P-glycoprotein inducers, and renal dysfunction, in order to prevent the occurrence of LZD-induced hyperlactatemia based on the pediatric patient's treatment needs.

Methods : 62 children with confirmed allergic asthma who received standardized allergen SCIT were retro⁃ spectively analyzed and divided into the monosensitized group (dust mite results≥ + + + ) and the polysensitized group (dust mite results ≥ + + + combined with other positive allergens) according to the results of skin pricktest , we observed the changes of pulmonary function , medication score and visual analog scale (VAS) scores , children asthma control test (C - ACT) scores , asthma control questionnaire (ACQ) scores before and after treatment in both groupsand compared the efficacy of the two groups. The incidence of local and systemic adverse effects was recorded during treatment in all children to assess the safety of SCIT. Results : Standardized allergen SCIT treatmentimproved lung function parameters , medication scores and VAS scores , C ⁃ACT scores , ACQ scores in both the monosensitized and polysensitized groups , with statistically significant differences before and after treatment (P < 0. 05) . In comparison between the two groups , lung function parameters [forced expiratory flow at 50% vital capacity(FEF50% ) , maximum midexpiratory flow(MMEF)] , medication scores , C ⁃ACT scores and ACQ scores improved significantly in the monosensitized group compared with the polysensitized group after treatment ( P <0. 001) . 62 patients received a total of 2 606 injections during the treatment of SCIT , 6 children had a total of 10 local adverse reactions and 3 children had 3 mild to moderate systemic adverse reactions , with an incidence of 0. 38% for local adverse reactions and 0. 12% for systemic adverse reactions. Conclusion The children with asthma in both the monosensitized group and polysensitized group achieved significant and safe clinical outcomes under standardized allergen SCIT. The children in the monosensitized group had more obvious clinical effects than the polysensitized group under standardized allergen SCIT.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of information-knowledge-attitude-practice (IKAP) theory-based health education interventions on clonorchiasis control among community residents and primary school students in Torch High-tech Development Zone of Zhongshan City, so as to provide insights into formulation of clonorchiasis control strategies among different types of populations. METHODS: Residents were randomly sampled from two communities and students from two primary schools using a random cluster sampling method in Torch High-tech Development Zone, Zhongshan City from 2019 to 2021, and health education pertaining to clonorchiasis control was performed based on the IKAP theory. The changes in the awareness of basic clonorchiasis control knowledge and belief, self-reported risk of Clonorchis sinensis infections and dietary behaviors were compared among community residents and primary school students before and after health education interventions. RESULTS: The participants included 146 male and 151 female community residents and 158 male and 153 female primary school students, with no significant difference detected in gender distribution (χ² = 0.16, P > 0.05). The mean awareness of basic clonorchiasis control knowledge increased by 44.71% and 43.28% among primary school students and community residents 6 months following health education, and there were significant differences in the awareness of each item of basic clonorchiasis control knowledge before and after health education (χ² = 41.53 to 284.44, all P values < 0.05). The proportions of primary school students and community residents thinking very high and high risks of C. sinensis infections increased from 9.35% and 6.71% before health education to 22.15% and 37.75% after health education, but only the difference of the attitudes in community residents achieve statistical significance (χ² = 92.18, P < 0.05). The frequency of separation of raw and cooked foods with chopping board and knife significantly increased among community residents and primary school students following health education (χ² = 16.04 to 62.65, all P values < 0.05). The frequency of eating raw freshwater fish (χ² = 32.85, P < 0.05), fish congee (χ² = 7.02, P < 0.05) and fish fillet hot pot (χ² = 4.88, P < 0.05) significantly reduced among primary school students following health education, while only the frequency and proportions of eating raw freshwater fish have significantly reduced in community residents (χ² = 11.77, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Health education interventions based on the IKAP theory are effective to increase the awareness of clonorchiasis control knowledge and improve dietary behaviors associated with C. sinensis infections among community residents and primary school students in Zhongshan City.

Objective To analyze the correlation between intestinal flora changes and neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC)through 16S rRNA metagenomic sequencing and bacterial culture. Methods From September 2018 to March 2019, 10 NEC cases and 6 controls were randomly selected in the neonatal ICU ward of Nanjing maternal and child health care hospital to analyze the 16S rRNA metagenomic diversity of the for intestinal flora. The fecal samples and corresponding environmental samples were corrected from 51 cases of NEC children and their case controls to isolate and culture Clostridium. Results The dispersion of samples within the case group was smaller than that of the control group, and the sample diversity was higher than that of the control group. In the isolation and culture of Clostridium, the overall detection rate of Clostridium in the case group was 43.14% (22/51), and the detection rate of Clostridium butyricum was the highest (19.61%, 10/51). There was a statistical difference between the two groups (χ²=5.85, P=0.015 58). All Clostridium strains did not carry the A, B and E type neurotoxin genes. Conclusion: Increased intestinal flora diversity, intestinal flora abundance and changes in the abundance of Clostridium may be closely related to the intestinal environment of children with NEC; Clostridium, especially Clostridium butyricum, may be related to the occurrence of NEC.

[Abstract] Objective: To analyze the expression level of miR-224 in cancer tissues and plasma of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, and its correlation with clinicopathological characteristics, diagnosis and prognosis of HCC patients, and to further analyze its mechanism of action in the occurrence and development of liver cancer through bioinformatics analysis and in vitro experiments. Methods: The expression level of miR-224 in HCC tissues and normal tissues was analyzed using large sample data from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). qPCR method was used to verify the expression level of miR-224 in the tumor tissues and corresponding adjacent tissues that surgically resected from 80 HCC patients in Hebei Provincial People ’s Hospital from January 2017 to January 2020; in addition, the miR-224 level was also examined in plasma samples from 30 HCC patients. The Kaplan-Meier plotter database was used to analyze the correlation between the miR-224 expression and the overall survival time of HCC patients. The biological processes and signal pathways involving miR-224 were analyzed using bioinformatics tools. Hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells were transfected with miR-224 inhibitor, and then Clone formation experiment, Transwell chamber experiment, qPCR and WB methods were used to detect the effect of miR-224 knockdown on the proliferation and invasion of HepG2 cells and the expression level of EMT-related molecules. Results: The results of GEO database analysis showed that the expression level of miR-224 in HCC tissues was significantly higher than that in normal tissues. The results of clinical specimen verification showed that the expression level of miR-224 in the tumor tissues and plasma of HCC patients was significantly higher than that in the corresponding adjacent tissues and plasma from healthy controls (all P<0.01). The expression level of miR-224 was significantly correlated with the TNM stage, lymph node metastasis status and tumor size of HCC patients (P<0.05 or P<0.01). ROC analysis indicated that miR-224 showed a prominent diagnostic value in liver cancer, and the increased expression level of miR-224 was significantly related to the poor prognosis of HCC patients (P<0.05). Functional enrichment analysis revealed that miR-224 was mainly involved in the mTOR signaling pathway, AGE-RAGE signaling pathway, Rap1 signaling pathway, Ras signaling pathway, ErbB signaling pathway, HIF-1 signaling pathway and p53 signaling pathway and other signaling pathways related to tumor occurrence and development. Knockdown of miR-224 could significantly inhibit the colony formation and invasion of HepG2 cells and affect the expression of EMT-related markers (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion: miR-224 is highly expressed in HCC tissues and plasma and is significantly related to the poor prognosis of HCC patients. Knockdown of miR-224 expression can inhibit the colony formation, invasion and EMT process of liver cancer HepG2 cells.
