Objective:To investigate the intervention effect of five elements music of traditional Chinese medicine and western classical music on the sleep quality of stroke patients, and to compare the difference between the two, to provide a reference for the clinical care measures to improve the sleep quality of stroke patients.Methods:By adopting a randomized controlled trial, 75 stroke patients who were hospitalized in the rehabilitation hospital of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from July 2022 to July 2023 were selected by convenience sampling method as the study subjects, and the patients were randomly divided the conventional treatment group, the five-element music group, and the classical music group according to the method of randomized numerical table with 25 cases in each group. On the basis of general treatment, the conventional treatment group took sleep health education, the five elements music group were given five-element music intervention based on conventional treatment, and the classical music group were given classical music intervention based on conventional treatment. The changes of Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and polysomnography (PSG) examination parameters in the 3 groups were compared.Results:There were 2 cases of shedding in the conventional treatment group, and 23 cases were finally included, 15 males and 8 females, aged (54.02 ± 7.80) years; there were no cases of shedding in the five-element music group, and 25 cases were finally included, 12 males and 13 females, aged (53.69 ± 6.02) years; and there was 1 case of shedding in the classical music group, and 24 cases were finally included, 10 males and 14 females, aged (52.34 ± 7.08) years. Comparison of AIS, PSQI and PSG scores among the 3 groups of patients before intervention showed no statistically significant differences (all P>0.05). After the intervention, the AIS scores and PSQI scores of the 3 groups were (9.48 ± 1.53) and (12.22 ± 2.94), (6.76 ± 1.36) and (7.64 ± 2.08), (7.46 ± 1.38) and (10.33 ± 2.82), respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( F=23.21, 18.44, both P<0.05). PSG sleep structure parameters showed that the total sleep time, REM latency time and sleep efficiency of the patients in the five-element music group after the intervention were (399.89 ± 51.76) min, (136.26 ± 25.36) min, (78.87 ± 8.21)%, higher than (368.45 ± 47.88) min, (124.46 ± 26.25) min, (73.36 ± 7.86)% in the classical music group and (345.48 ± 38.69) min, (111.37 ± 23.23) min, (69.44 ± 7.88)% in the conventional treatment group, and the differences between three groups were statistically significant ( F=8.27, 5.93, and 8.49, all P<0.05); the sleep latency time, awakening time, and number of awakenings in the five-element music group were (28.86 ± 17.68) min, (54.37 ± 25.15) min, and (2.72 ± 1.19) times, respectively, which were lower than those in the classical music group (35.67 ± 16.99) min, (64.28 ± 29.34) min, and (3.67 ± 1.12) times and (42.38 ± 18.96) min, (78.38 ± 37.26) min, (4.87 ± 1.46) times in the conventional treatment group, and the differences between three groups were statistically significant ( F=3.51, 3.66, and 17.56, all P<0.05). The results of the PSG sleep progression showed that the duration of the N1 stage of sleep in the five-element music group after the intervention was (95.71 ± 15.23) min, which was higher than (83.20 ± 18.34) min in the classical music group and (80.93 ± 16.47) min in the conventional treatment group, and the difference between three groups was statistically significant ( F=5.53, P<0.01); the N3 stage sleep time and the sleep percentage of the five-element music group after the intervention were respectively (84.23 ± 20.98) min and (23.98 ± 5.89)%, which were higher than (65.33 ± 18.82) min and (18.34 ± 3.78)% in the classical music group and (45.87 ± 18.65) min and (15.03 ± 5.56)% in the conventional treatment group, and the differences between three groups were statistically significant ( F=23.08, 18.50, both P<0.05).

In response to the Opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on Promoting the Inheritance， Innovation， and Development of traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） and the spirit of the National Conference on TCM， Chinese Association of Chinese Medicine organized experts in Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery of traditional Chinese and western medicine to discuss the clinical advantages of TCM and integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine in the treatment of allergic rhinitis （AR） and they reached a basic consensus. In recent years， the prevalence of AR has been on the rise， threatening the quality of life of patients and giving rise to a heavy burden to both the patients and the society. AR is resulted from immune imbalance rather than reduced immunity or hyperimmunity， and the imbalance is similar to the Yin-yang disharmony in TCM. In the treatment of this disease， western medicine features rapid onset. However， it is cost-intensive and causes severe surgical trauma， and the recurrence is common. TCM boasts diverse methods for AR， which can be used in all stages of this disease. It has advantages in controlling symptoms such as nasal congestion， runny nose， or dysosmia in the attack stage， preventing recurrence in the remission stage， and treating refractory AR or steroid-resistant AR. In particular， acupuncture enjoys a reputation in treatment of AR， which has been supported by evidence-based medicine and recommended by guidelines. While treating local symptoms of AR， TCM regulates the psychosomatic conditions， which facilitates chronic disease management and long-term follow-up. We should integrate the advantages of TCM and western medicine， give full play to the unique nonnegligible and irreplaceable advantages of TCM， formulate a comprehensive diagnosis and treatment scheme for learning and promotion， and summarize the research outcomes to promote the theoretical innovation of TCM on AR from the perspective of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine.

Objective:To identify the causative gene and observe the phenotypic characteristics of a family with isolated microphthalmia-anophthalmia-coloboma (MAC).Methods:A retrospective clinical study. One patient (proband) and 3 family members of a family with MAC visited the Henan Eye Hospital from May 2019 to May 2022 were included in the study. The patient's medical history and family history were inquired in detail, and the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), slit lamp microscope, fundus photography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), ophthalmological B mode ultrasound and axial length (AL) measurement were performed. The peripheral venous blood of the proband, his parents and brother was collected for Trio whole-exome sequencing and pathogenic gene screening. Fluorescence quantitative Polymerase chain reaction was used to verify the suspicious variations. The clinical features of the patient's ocular and systemic also were observed.Results:The proband, male, was 3 years old at the first visit. The horizontal pendular nystagmus was detected in both eyes. Vertical elliptical microcornea and keyhole-shaped iris colobomas were detected in both eyes. The objective refraction at first visit (3 years old) was -4.00 DS/-0.50 DC×105° (OD) and -3.50 DS/-1.25 DC×80° (OS). Refraction and BCVA at 6 years old: -6.50 DS/-2.00 DC×110°→0.05 (OD) and -6.00 DS/-1.50 DC×80°→0.2 (OS). The AL at 4 years and 10 months old was 24.62 mm (OD) and 23.92 mm (OS), respectively. The AL at 5 years and 7 months old was 25.24 mm (OD) and 24.36 mm (OS), respectively. Ultrasonography shows tissue defects in both eyes. Fundus photography showed the inferior choroidal coloboma involving optic disc. OCT showed the optic disc in both eyes was abnormal with colobomas around, and the retinal neurosensory layer in colobomas area was disordered and thin; the retinoschisis was visible in the left eye. The proband's parents and siblings have normal phenotypes. Whole exome sequencing reveals a denovo heterozygous deletion of YAP1 gene: YAP1, chr11: 10280247-102100671, NM_ 001130145, loss 1 (EXON: 6-9). The results of bioinformatics analysis were pathogenic variants. Parents and siblings were of the wild type. Conclusions:Loss of heterozygosity in exons 6-9 of YAP1 gene is the pathogenic variation in this family. It can cause abnormal development of anterior segment, chorioretinal colobomas, deepening of axial myopia, even severe macular colobomas and retinoschisis.

Aristolochic acids (AAs) have long been considered as a potent carcinogen due to its nephrotoxicity. Aristolochic acid I (AAI) reacts with DNA to form covalent aristolactam (AL)-DNA adducts, leading to subsequent A to T transversion mutation, commonly referred as AA mutational signature. Previous research inferred that AAs were widely implicated in liver cancer throughout Asia. In this study, we explored whether AAs exposure was the main cause of liver cancer in the context of HBV infection in mainland China. Totally 1256 liver cancer samples were randomly retrieved from 3 medical centers and a refined bioanalytical method was used to detect AAI-DNA adducts. 5.10% of these samples could be identified as AAI positive exposure. Whole genome sequencing suggested 8.41% of 107 liver cancer patients exhibited the dominant AA mutational signature, indicating a relatively low overall AAI exposure rate. In animal models, long-term administration of AAI barely increased liver tumorigenesis in adult mice, opposite from its tumor-inducing role when subjected to infant mice. Furthermore, AAI induced dose-dependent accumulation of AA-DNA adduct in target organs in adult mice, with the most detected in kidney instead of liver. Taken together, our data indicate that AA exposure was not the major threat of liver cancer in adulthood.

Objective:To identify the causative genes of the posterior microphthalmia-retinal pigment degeneration family.Methods:A retrospective clinical study. One child (proband) and 3 family members of a family with posterior microphthalmia-retinitis pigmentosa diagnosed by clinical and genetic examination at Henan Provincial People's Hospital in July 2019 were included in the study. Medical history and family history, and draw pedigree of the patients was collected. Visual acuity, visual field, fundus color photography, optical coherence tomography and electroretinogram (ERG) were examined. The peripheral venous blood of the proband, his parents and sister, and extract the whole genome DNA was collected. Whole-exome sequencing was used to detect genetic variations, the suspected pathogenic variations were verified by Sanger sequencing, and the pathogenicity was determined by bioinformatics analysis.Results:The parents discovered the proband was poor vision at the age of 10 months. At the age of 3, the best corrected visual acuity of the right eye and the left eye were 0.3 and 0.4, respectively. No abnormality was found in anterior segment. Extremely high hyperopia in both eyes. The axial length was 14.47 mm and 15.78 mm, respectively. The optic disc of both eyes was relatively small and flushed, retinal folds can be observed in macular area, and no obvious pigment deposition was found. ERG examination showed that the rod system response and the maximal combined response of both eyes decreased slightly to moderately, and the single-flash cone response and the 30 Hz flicker response decreased moderately to severely. Genetic analysis revealed two novel mutations in the membrane frizzled-related protein ( MFRP) gene in the proband: c.363delC/p.Thr121Thrfs*16, c.1627C>T/p.Gln543Stop,37 in exon 4 and 13, the former was a frameshift mutation, encoding 16 amino acids and then terminated, and the latter was an nonsense mutation, truncated 37 amino acids, both which were predicted to be pathogenic and segregate with disease. The mother and sister carried c.363delC, and the father carried c.1627C>T. Conclusion:MFRP gene c.363delC/p.Thr121Thrfs*16, c.1627C >T/p.Gln543Stop, 37 compound heterozygous mutation may be the pathogenic gene of this family.

Objective: To explore the genotype-phenotype correlation among 3 pedigrees affected with congenital aniridia. Methods: Clinical data and genomic DNA were collected and genetic variations were screened by whole-exome sequencing, with an emphasis on PAX6-related genes.Suspected variations were verified by Sanger sequencing and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Written informed consent was obtained from the parents of each propositus prior to entering study cohort.This study protocol was approved by Ethic Committee of Henan Eye Hospital (No.HNEECKY-2017(6)). Results: Genetic analysis identified that a nonsense c. 949 C>T variation and an c. 141+ 1 G>T splicing variation of the PAX6 gene in two of the probands, while the remainder has carried a duplication in 11 p13 (chr11: 31531331-31827959) encompassing the PAX6 and ELP4 genes.Phenotype analysis showed that the probands carrying the nonsense and splicing variations had classical features including complete aniridia, macular hypoplasia, microcornea and nystagmus; the proband carrying the 11p13 duplication had microphthalmos, microcornea, macular dysplasia, iris dysgenesis, and nystagmus. Conclusions The 11p13 duplication involving the PAX6 gene may have caused over-expression of PAX6 gene, resulting in severe eye abnormalities including microphthalmos and microcornea, macular dysplasia and nystagmus.The relatively mild iris dysgenesis has distinguishing it from classical aniridia due to PAX6 haploinsufficiency.

Objective To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae ( CRE) isolated from children in China. Methods CRE strains were collected in 10 ter-tiary children's hospitals of China from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2017. Antimicrobial susceptibility of the clinical strains was detected with disk diffusion method ( KB method) and automated method. The re-sults were analyzed according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute ( CLSI) Standards published in 2017. WHONET 5. 6 software was used to retrospectively analyze the distribution characteristics and drug resistance of these strains. Results A total of 3065 CRE clinical strains were isolated from children with an overall prevalence of 7. 7％ and among them, 13. 5％ were isolated in neonatal group and 5. 8％ in non-neo-natal group. The detection rate of CRE in 2017 was higher than that in 2016 (9. 7％ vs 5. 7％). Among the 3065 CRE strains, there were 1912 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae (62. 0％), 667 strains of Escherichia coli (22. 0％), 206 strains of Enterobacter cloacae (7. 0％), 56 strains of Klebsiella aerogenes (1. 8％) and 47 strains of Serratia marcescens (1. 5％). Most of the strains were isolate in neonatology departments including neonatal intensive care units (NICU) and intensive care units (ICU), accounting for 44. 8％ and 19. 7％, respectively. Respiratory tract (61. 8％), urine (19. 4％) and blood (5. 7％) specimens were the main sources of CRE isolates. Results of antimicrobial susceptibility test showed that the CRE strains were highly resistant to carbapenem antibiotics such as imipenem, meropenem and ertapenem, as well as penicillins and most cephalosporins (79. 6％-100％), especially those isolated in the neonatal group (P<0. 05). Children had relatively low resistance rates to aminoglycosides such as amikacin (19. 7％) and fos-fomycin (11. 9％), fluoroquinolones such as levofloxacin (37. 7％) and ciprofloxacin (43. 3％), and tige-cycline (3. 8％). Currently, no polymyxin B-resistant strains were isolated. Conclusions The prevalence of common CRE strains in children in 2017 was higher than that in 2016, especially in newborns. Drug re-sistance in CRE strains isolated from neonates to common antibiotics was more severe, suggesting that great attention should be paid to it and timely measures should also be taken.

Objective: To analyze the antimicrobial resistance profile in Chinese children. Methods: This was a prevalence survey. From January 1 through December 31, 2016, the isolates were collected from 10 tertiary children hospitals in China. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out by routine laboratory methods. The penicillin susceptibility of streptococcus pneumonia and Meropenem susceptibility of gram-negative bacteria were detected by E-test and disk diffusion method respectively. Antimicrobial susceptibility results were interpreted according to the criteria of Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) Guideline 2016. The data of antimicrobial susceptibility testing of isolates from either the different patients (neonatal group and non-neonatal group) or various sources were analyzed by WHONET 5.6 software. Results: A total of 56 241 isolates were collected, of which 41.5% (23 328 isolates) were gram-positive organisms and 58.5% (32 886 isolates) gram-negative organisms. The five leading pathogens were Escherichia coli (7 995/56 214, 14.2%), Straphylococcus aureus (6 468/56 214, 11.5%), Streptococcus pneumonia (6 225/56 214, 11.1%), Haemophilus influenza (5 435/56 214, 9.7%) and Klebsiella pneumonia (4 523/56 214, 8.0%). The Meropenem resistance rates of Klebsiella pneumonia, Enterobacter cloacae, Escherichia coil, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumonia isolates were 27.4% (326/1 189) , 8.1% (29/358) , 2.0% (27/1 362) , 19.5% (34/174) , 49.7% (230/463) in neonatal group and 15.4% (512/3 327) , 4.8% (40/841) , 2.3% (151/6 564) , 13.7% (252/1 840) , and 53.4% (860/1 611) in non-neonatal group. The Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) rates of neonatal group and non-neonatal group were 46.2% (649/1 404) and 33.3% (1 668/5 010) . The penicillin non-susceptible rates of Streptococcus pneumonia in the two groups were 17.6% (6/34) and 18.2% (1 121/6 158) respectively. The β-lactamase positive rates of Haemophilus pneumonia isolates in the neonatal group and non-neonatal groups were 33.8% (47/139) and 44.4% (2 345/5 282) respectively. Conclusion This investigation highlights the worrisome trend of antimicrobial resistance in children, especially among neonatal patients in China.
