The rules of acupoint selection and treatment were identified and discovered from the collected ancient acupuncture-moxibustion prescriptions recorded the earliest for epigastric pain. The database of ancient acupuncture-moxibustion prescriptions for epigastric pain was set up using Excel2016 software. After the disease term, etiology, pathogenesis, symptoms and acupoints were normalized, the underlying multi-dimensional correlation among the elements of acupuncture-moxibustion was explored, using the frequency statistics and the association rule of Apriori algorithm. In the ancient time, in treatment with acupuncture-moxibustion therapy for epigastric pain, the acupoints of the high use frequency were sequenced as Zhongwan (CV12), Shangwan (CV13), Zusanli (ST36), Neiguan (PC6), Gongsun (SP4), Pishu (BL20) and Weishu (BL21). The common combinations of acupoints included the pairs of back-shu points, the combination of back-shu points and front-mu points, the combination of front-mu points and yuan-source points and the combination of back-shu points and the lower he-sea points. The highly involved acupoints were those from the conception vessel, pericardium meridian, spleen meridian, stomach meridian and bladder meridian; and they were commonly distributed on the abdomen, the yin parts of the foot and the arm, the yang part of the leg and on the back. Regarding the etiologies such as parasites, food retention, masses, qi stagnation and stomach cold, Zhongwan (CV12) and Shangwan (CV13) were coordinated; and Sanyinjiao (SP6) and Daling (PC7) were highly associated with masses. Besides cold injury, parasites and masses, for the epigastric pain caused by other factors of etiology (qi stagnation, stomach cold and food retention), moxibustion therapy was greatly applicable. For epigastric pain combined with qi reversion in the lower abdominal region, Qichong (ST30), Sanyinjiao (SP6), Tianshu (ST25) and Zusanli (ST36) must be selected. Dadu (SP2) and Taibai (SP3) must be used if the distention in the chest and abdomen accompanied; and Zhongzhu (TE3) be used if back pain involved. Zusanli (ST36) was commonly selected for hiccups. For the other accompanied symptoms, Zhongwan (CV12) was used, which is consistent with the acupoint selection of main symptoms. On the trunk, moxibustion was generally used at Weishu (BL21), Pishu (BL20), Geshu (BL17), Zhongwan (CV12), Juque (CV14) and Qihai (CV6), except Shangwan (CV13). Among the acupoints below the elbows and knees, moxibustion was commonly applicable at Zusanli (ST36), and acupuncture was often used at Gongsun (SP4) and Daling (PC7).

ObjectiveTo analyze the development status and quality of clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of dominant diseases with Chinese patent medicines (CPMs). MethodsDatabases were searched from Jan. 2019 to Dec.2023 to collect the published clinical practice guidelines of CPMs for the treatment of dominant diseases. The information about the title, the participants, clinical problems, outcomes, evidence grade, recommendations, and recommendation strength in the included clinical practice guidelines were collected, for which the development status was analyzed, and the quality was evaluated with the Scientific, Transparent and Applicable Rankings (STAR) tool for clinical practice guidelines. ResultsTotally, 34 guidelines were included, involving 273 kinds of CPMs. One to ten (with the medium five) clinical problems were proposed from 29 clinical practice guidelines respectively. All the guidelines divided the evidence into four grades according to Grade of Recommendation Assessment, Deve-lopement an Evaluation. And 28 guidelines had five levels of recommendation strength. A total of 344 recommendations were extracted, including 86 strong-recommendations, 191 weak-recommendations (including 36 weak recommendations only based on expert consensus) and 67 recommendations with unclear recommendation strength. All guidelines had high scores in the three areas of “clinical questions (94.20%)”, “evidence (91.45%)” and “recommendations (89.06%)”, while the scores in the three areas of “registry (22.06%)”, “protocol (19.00%)” and “accessibility (31.51%)” were low. The STAR recommended stars of 8 guidelines were 5.0~4.0 stars, while that of 18 guidelines were 3.5~2.5 stars, and 8 guidelines were 2.0~1.0 stars. The three guidelines with the highest recommended stars were depressive disorder, community-acquired pneumonia, and influenza in adult. ConclusionThere is a certain gap in the quality of the published clinical practice guidelines of CPMs, and the quality of the guidelines could be further improved in registry, protocols, funds, and accessibility.

Objective:To investigate the value of 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging in the diagnosis of suspected autoimmune encephalitis (AE) in children with epilepsy and negative MRI. Methods:From May 2019 to August 2022, 94 suspected AE children (49 males, 45 females; age 1-15 years) with epilepsy and negative MRI who underwent brain 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging at Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were divided into AE and non-AE groups based on clinical final diagnosis. The effectiveness of visual diagnosis was evaluated. The cortical lesion extent score (S), and SUV max, SUV mean and minimum of SUV (SUV min) of cortical lesions (L), basal ganglia (B) and thalamus (T) were measured and SUV ratios (SUVR) of L/B or L/T were obtained. Independent-sample t test or Mann-Whitney U test was used to analyze data. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to screen the diagnostic factors of AE, and a diagnostic model was established. The diagnostic efficiency was evaluated by ROC curve analysis and Delong test. Results:There were 53 cases in AE group and 41 cases in non-AE group. Based on visual analysis, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 18F-FDG PET/CT for AE were 100%(53/53), 43.9%(18/41) and 75.5%(71/94), respectively. Differences of LSUV max, LSUV mean, LSUV min, L/BSUVR max, L/BSUVR mean, L/BSUVR min, L/TSUVR max, L/TSUVR mean, L/TSUVR min and S between AE and non-AE groups were statistically significant ( z=-6.74, t values: from -8.51 to -3.97, all P<0.001). ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of L/BSUVR max was the highest (0.914) among visual analysis and semi-quantitative parameters. Logistic regression analysis showed that S (odds ratio ( OR)=11.40, 95% CI: 2.18-59.52, P=0.004), L/BSUVR max( OR=13.19, 95% CI: 2.11-82.51, P=0.006) and L/TSUVR max( OR=9.66, 95% CI: 1.57-59.55, P=0.015) were independent diagnostic factors for AE. Regression model was established: P=1/(1+ e - x), x=2.433×S+ 2.580×L/BSUVR max+ 2.267×L/TSUVR max-3.802. The AUC of this model was 0.948, with the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 98.1%(52/53), 90.2%(37/41) and 94.7%(89/94), respectively. The diagnostic efficacy of the optimized scoring system was consistent with the pre-optimization model, and were both superior to L/BSUVR max(both z=2.01, both P=0.040). Conclusion:The diagnostic model and scoring system based on the semi-quantitative analysis of 18F-FDG PET/CT have better diagnostic efficacy for AE and are superior to semi-quantitative parameters alone.

Objective:To evaluate the optical performance of two aspheric intraocular lenses (IOL) AcrySof IQ SN60WF and Proming A1-UV with identical negative spherical aberration values, using the optical bench OptiSpheric IOL R&D through an in vitro study. Methods:The optical performance of + 20.0 D blue-light filtering SN60WF and monofocal high-order aspheric non blue-light filtering A1-UV IOL was evaluated through cornea models with the spherical aberration of 0 μm (ISO-1) and + 0.28 μm (ISO-2) under apertures of 3.0 mm and 4.5 mm via the optical bench OptiSpheric IOL R&D.The modulation transfer function (MTF) and USAF 1951 resolution test chart were employed to measure the IOL with centering, decentration of 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 and 1.1 mm, as well as tilt of 3°, 5°, 7°, 9° and 11°.The spectral transmittance of IOL was measured with the UV-3300 UV-VIS spectrophotometer.Results:Compared with the A1-UV IOL, the spectral transmittance of SN60WF for blue light with wavelengths of 400-500 nm was significantly reduced, which effectively reduced the passage of blue light.At an aperture of 3.0 mm, the MTF values at 100 lp/mm spatial frequency for the centered SN60WF and A1-UV were 0.576 and 0.598 under ISO-1 corneal measurement conditions, 0.564 and 0.563 under ISO-2 conditions.At an aperture of 4.5 mm, the MTF values were 0.238 and 0.404 under ISO-1 corneal measurement conditions, and 0.438 and 0.339 under ISO-2 conditions.The MTF values of A1-UV and SN60WF at 3.0 mm aperture and 100 lp/mm spatial frequency under ISO-1 corneal measurement conditions were larger than those under ISO-2 corneal measurement conditions.Under ISO-1 corneal measurement conditions with a 3.0 mm aperture, A1-UV had a better optical quality compared to SN60WF, whereas under ISO-2 corneal measurement conditions, the optical quality of both IOLs was similar.Under the 3.0 mm aperture, the MTF values of SN60WF and A1-UV at a decentration of 0.3 mm and 100 lp/mm spatial frequency were 0.414 and 0.571 under ISO-1 corneal measurement conditions, 0.438 and 0.512 under ISO-2 corneal measurement conditions, respectively.The MTF values of SN60WF and A1-UV at a tilt of 3° were 0.522 and 0.597 under ISO-1 corneal measurement conditions, and 0.532 and 0.531 under ISO-2 corneal measurement conditions.The MTF values and USAF resolution test chart of A1-UV had no significant change between the two corneal measurement conditions.When subjected to equal degrees of decentration or tilting, except for the ISO-1 corneal measurement conditions at a 4.5 mm aperture, the MTF values of A1-UV showed a gradual decline across various spatial frequencies compared to SN60WF.With the increase in aperture size, the impact of IOL decentration or tilting on MTF values and USAF 1951 resolution test chart became more notable for A1-UV relative to SN60WF.Conclusions:The SN60WF IOL effectively filters blue light within the wavelength range of 400-500 nm.However, when both IOL experience decentration greater than 0.3 mm or tilting beyond 3°, the optical quality of the IOL will decline.A1-UV has a distinct advantage over SN60WF in terms of resistance to both decentration and tilting-induced optical performance degradation in vitro.

AIM: To assess the repeatability and agreement of higher-order aberration obtained by adaptive optics visual simulator(VAO)compared with OPD-Scan Ⅲ.METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted from August to September 2023, including a total of 204 patients(204 eyes)with myopia whose right eyes were measured. The examinations were performed by the same skilled examiner using both devices separately. The VAO device was used to measure higher order aberrations of orders 3 to 6 at a pupil diameter of 4.5 mm, while both the VAO and OPD-Scan Ⅲ devices were utilized to measure total higher-order aberration(tHOA), spherical aberration(SA), coma aberration(Coma), and trefoil aberration(Trefoil)of the entire eye at pupil diameters ranging from 3 to 6 mm. Furthermore, the repeatability of whole eye aberration measurements obtained with the VAO device was evaluated and the agreement of the two devices was assessed.RESULTS: The whole-eye higher-order aberrations measured by VAO demonstrated excellent repeatability(0.767≤ICC≤0.941, Sw<0.01 μm, TRT<0.1 μm). There was no statistically significant difference in Coma measured by VAO or OPD-Scan Ⅲ for pupil diameters ranging from 4 to 6 mm(P>0.05), while a statistically significant difference was observed in whole-eye tHOA of other pupil diameters(all P<0.05). The agreement of aberration measurements for each order between VAO and OPD-Scan Ⅲ for 3 mm pupil diameters, SA at 4 and 5 mm pupil diameter and Coma at 4 mm pupil diameter showed a 95% limit of agreement(LoA)<0.1, indicating good agreement; however, poor agreement was found for the remaining aberration measurements at different pupil diameters, with a 95%LoA>0.1, and there were significant differences in higher-order aberrations measured by two devices under a pupil diameter of 3 mm(r=0.218-0.317, P<0.01), 4 mm(r=0.406-0.672, P<0.01), 5 mm(r=0.538-0.839, P<0.01 and r=0.030-0.109, P>0.01)and 6 mm(r=0.369-0.766, P<0.01).CONCLUSION: The VAO demonstrates favorable repeatability when assessing whole-eye higher order aberration under pupil diameters of 3-6 mm. However, there is inadequate agreement and interchangeability in whole-eye higher order aberration at 3-6 mm pupil diameter between VAO and OPD-Scan Ⅲ for clinical purposes.

Objective:To summarize and analyze the clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis of glycogen storage disease type Ⅱ(GSD Ⅱ) patients admitted to pediatric intensive care units(PICU), and to improve the pediatricians' understanding of children with severe GSD Ⅱ.Methods:Children with GSD Ⅱ admitted to PICU at Beijing Children's Hospital of Capital Medical University between January 2010 and December 2021 were included. Patient's data were collected through the electronic medical record system.After the patient was discharged,telephone follow-ups were conducted regularly for over a year.Results:A total of eight patients with a median age of 30.5 months were included. There were four patients with infantile GSD Ⅱ, whose median age of onset was 5.5 months. There were four patients with late-onset GSD Ⅱ, whose median age of onset was 36.0 months. Eight patients required continuous noninvasive/invasive respiratory support. Three patients with infantile GSD Ⅱ required respiratory support within one month of onset, and three patients with late onset GSD Ⅱ required respiratory support within one year of onset. A total of six patients had cardiac arrest during the course of the disease. One patient was regularly treated with enzyme replacement therapy during hospitalization but his condition did not improve significantly. Three patients were discharged following medical advice,including one patient continuing noninvasive respiratory support after discharge, and two patients requiring onging invasive respiratory support.A total of four children died,including one being an in-hospital death,and three occuring within one year after hospital discharge. A total of 14 genotypes were detected in eight patients, of which three were newly discovered gene mutations.Conclusion:The children with GSD Ⅱ admitted to PICU have severe respiratory dysfunction and need continuous respiratory support during the early stage of the disease. The incidence of cardiopulmonary arrest caused by infection and respiratory muscle weakness is high. It is recommended to closely monitor the lung function and cardiac function of such children, and actively give the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. Whether enzyme replacement therapy can benefit patients with severe GSD Ⅱ and whether the newly identified mutations correlate with disease severity needs to be further evaluated.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics of suicidal behavior in children and provide a reference for further developing strategies for preventing childhood suicide.Methods:The medical records of children hospitalized in the pediatric intensive care unit(PICU)at Beijing Children's Hospital for suicidal behavior in the electronic medical record system from January 1,2018,to December 31,2022 were retrospectively selected.Clinical data of children with suicidal behavior were collected.Results:A total of 3 249 patients were admitted to the PICU,including 62 suicide patients.There were 20(32.3%) males,and 42(67.7%) females,with a male-to-female ratio of 1:2.1.The average age was (13.1 ± 1.5) years old,with a minimum age of 7.9 years and a maximum age of 15.7 years.There were 17 (27.4%) children with previously diagnosed mental illnesses.Notably 58.1% children had triggering factors for suicidal behavior.Analysis of suicide methods,53(85.5%) cases were intentional drug ingestion,six(9.7%) cases were jumping from height,and three(4.8%) cases were hanging.Additionally 26.4% cases of poisoning were male,while 66.7% of cases of jumping from height and hanging were male.There was a statistical difference in suicide methods between genders (χ 2=5.704, P=0.025).The poisoning ingestions were classified as 20(37.7%) cases of toxins; 14(26.4%) cases of antidepressants; 10(18.9%) cases of over-the-counter drugs; five(9.4%) cases of other prescription drugs; three(5.7%) cases of sedative drugs; one(1.9%) case of daily chemical.Sources of ingestions: 18(34.0%) cases were purchased personally (pharmacies or online shopping); 16(30.2%) cases were storing medicines at home; 13(24.5%) cases were daily taking antidepressants.Compared with non-poisoning patients,poisoning patients had a significantly shorter PICU duration (Z=-2.884, P=0.004).The total mortality rate of children admitted to PICU due to suicide was 16.1%(10/62).There was a statistical difference in the mortality rate among different suicide methods (χ 2=7.883, P=0.019). Conclusion:School aged children and boys are more likely to choose impulsive and more harmful suicide behaviors such as jumping from heights and hanging,and adolescent girls are more likely to choose intentional poisoning as their suicide method.Attention should be paid to the suicide risk of different age and gender groups.Intentional drug ingestion is the main method of suicide in children.Herbicide poisoning and antidepressant drug poisoning are the leading causes of suicide death.The death risk of suicidal behavior in children may be reduced by controlling the way of getting pesticides (especially herbicides) and obtaining maximum doses of antidepressants.

Objective·To explore the predictive value of diuretic renal scintigraphy parameters such as 20-minute residual rate(R20)for pyeloplasty in children with congenital unilateral ureteropelvic junction obstruction(UPJO).Methods·The clinical data and diuretic renal scintigraphy results of 110 children with congenital unilateral UPJO who were first treated at the Department of Nuclear Medicine,Xinhua Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from August 2018 to August 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.The imaging results and the progress of hydronephrosis were followed up after the first diuretic renal scintigraphy.According to the outcome event of pyeloplasty due to the progression of hydronephrosis,the children were divided into operation group and non-operation group.Age,gender,side of hydronephrosis,and baseline diuretic renal scintigraphy parameters including blood perfusion rate(BPR),differential renal function(DRF),time to peak(Tmax),time to half(T1/2)and R20 were compared between the two groups.Logistic regression was used to analyze the effect of various parameters on the progression of hydronephrosis.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive value of diuretic renal scintigraphy parameters for surgical intervention.Wilcoxon test was used to compare the examination parameters of two diuretic renal dynamic imaging.Results·During the follow-up,60 children underwent pyeloplasty after progression,and the other 50 children did not progress.The differences in DRF,Tmax,T1/2 and R20 between the two groups of children at baseline were statistically significant(all P<0.05).Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that only R20 was an independent predictor of pyeloplasty(OR=4.730,95%CI 1.009-1.178,P=0.030).R20 predicted pyeloplasty with a sensitivity of 88.3%,specificity of 56%,the area under the ROC curve of 0.758(95%CI 0.667-0.850,P=0.000),and the cut-off value of 90.08%.During the follow-up,38 children underwent the second diuretic renal scintigraphy,and the DRF was lower than before.The difference between the two DRFs was statistically significant(Z=-2.589,P=0.010),especially in children with R20≥90.08%(Z=-2.166,P=0.030).R20 in the non-operation group decreased significantly compared with the baseline(Z=-2.062,P=0.039).However,R20 in the operation group was higher than baseline,but the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).Conclusion·R20 plays an important role in the prediction of pyeloplasty in children with congenital unilateral UPJO.For children with R20≥90.08%,pyeloplasty should be performed as soon as possible to prevent further deterioration of renal function.

Objective:To investigate respiratory virus infection in children with septic shock in pediatric care units (PICU) in China and its influence on clinical outcomes.Methods:The clinical data of children with septic shock in children′s PICU from January 2018 to December 2019 in 10 Chinese hospitals were retrospectively collected. They were divided into the pre-COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 groups according to the onset of disease, and the characteristics and composition of respiratory virus in the 2 groups were compared. Matching age, malignant underlying diseases, bacteria, fungi and other viruses, a new database was generated using 1∶1 propensity score matching method. The children were divided into the respiratory virus group and non-respiratory virus group according to the presence or absence of respiratory virus infection; their clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment were compared by t-test, rank sum test and Chi-square test. The correlation between respiratory virus infection and the clinical outcomes was analyzed by logistic regression. Results:A total of 1 247 children with septic shock were included in the study, of them 748 were male; the age was 37 (11, 105) months. In the pre-and post-COVID-19 groups, there were 530 and 717 cases of septic shock, respectively; the positive rate of respiratory virus was 14.9% (79 cases) and 9.8% (70 cases); the seasonal distribution of septic shock was 28.9% (153/530) and 25.9% (185/717) in autumn, and 30.3% (161/530) and 28.3% (203/717) in winter, respectively, and the corresponding positive rates of respiratory viruses were 19.6% (30/153) and 15.7% (29/185) in autumn, and 21.1% (34/161) and 15.3% (31/203) in winter, respectively. The positive rates of influenza virus and adenovirus in the post-COVID-19 group were lower than those in the pre-COVID-19 group (2.1% (15/717) vs. 7.5% (40/530), and 0.7% (5/717) vs. 3.2% (17/530), χ2=21.51 and 11.08, respectively; all P<0.05). Rhinovirus virus were higher than those in the pre-Covid-19 group (1.7% (12/717) vs. 0.2% (1/530), χ2=6.51, P=0.011). After propensity score matching, there were 147 cases in both the respiratory virus group and the non-respiratory virus group. Rate of respiratory failure, acute respiratory distress, rate of disseminated coagulation dysfunction, and immunoglobulin usage of the respiratory virus group were higher than those of non-respiratory virus group (77.6% (114/147) vs. 59.2% (87/147), 17.7% (26/147) vs. 4.1% (6/147), 15.6% (25/147) vs. 4.1% (7/147), and 35.4% (52/147) vs. 21.4% (32/147); χ2=11.07, 14.02, 11.06 and 6.67, all P<0.05); and PICU hospitalization of the former was longer than that of the later (7 (3, 16) vs. 3 (1, 7)d, Z=5.01, P<0.001). Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that the presence of respiratory viral infection was associated with respiratory failure, disseminated coagulation dysfunction, the use of mechanical ventilation, and the use of immunoglobulin and anti-respiratory viral drugs ( OR=2.42, 0.22, 0.25, 0.56 and 1.12, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The composition of respiratory virus infection in children with septic shock is different between pre and post-COVID-19. Respiratory viral infection is associated with organ dysfunction in children with septic shock. Decreasing respiratory viral infection through respiratory protection may improve the clinical outcome of these children.
