Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics, muscle pathological features and treatment in patients with Juvenile idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (JIIM) with positive anti-nuclear matrix protein 2 (NXP2) antibody.Methods:The clinical data of 8 IMM patients with positive anti-NXP2 antibody were collected and the clinical manifestations, auxiliary examinations, muscle pathological changes and therapeutic effects were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The ratio of male to female was 1:3. The median age of disease onset was (6.1±3.8) years. Eight cases had proximal muscle weakness, 7 had dermatomyositis-like rash, 5 had myalgia,4 had calcinosis,3 had skin ulcer, 2 had edema and 1 had abdominal pain. Five cases had elevated serum creatine kinase. Eight cases with lower limb muscle MRI showed abnormal signals in muscle, space between muscles and fat tissue, 3 cases with chest high-resolution CT (HRCT) showed interstitial lung disease. Abdominal CT of 1 case showed irregular thickening, edema and peripheral inflammatory exudation in ascending colon and proximal transverse colon. Pathological biopsy of skeletal muscle showed perifascicular atrophy, inflammatory cell infiltration in fascicular membrane and around small vessels and muscle fiber space. Edema, hyperplasia could be seen in interstitium; but dissolved necrosis, and regenerated muscle fibers were rarely seen. Treatments included glucocorticoids, immunosuppressive agents and biological agents (1 case). After 6 months of follow-up, 5 cases had good outcomes and 3 cases had poor outcomes.Conclusion:Dermatomyositis is the major clinical manifestation of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy with positive anti-NXP2 antibody.It is associated with myasthenia, calcinosis, skin ulcers and intestinal vasculitis. The pathological changes in skeletal muscle are relatively slightmild. Glucocorticoids combined with immunosuppressive agents are effective in most cases.

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.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features, pathogen composition, and prognosis of septic shock in pediatric intensive care units (PICU) in China.Methods:A multicenter retrospective cohort study. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of children with septic shock from 10 hospitals in China between January 2018 and December 2021. The clinical features, pathogen composition, and outcomes were collected. Patients were categorized into malignant tumor and non-malignant tumor groups, as well as survival and mortality groups. T test, Mann Whitney U test or Chi square test were used respectively for comparing clinical characteristics and prognosis between 2 groups. Multiple Logistic regression was used to identify risk factors for mortality. Results:A total of 1 247 children with septic shock were included, with 748 males (59.9%) and the age of 3.1 (0.9, 8.8) years. The in-patient mortality rate was 23.2% (289 cases). The overall pathogen positive rate was 68.2% (851 cases), with 1 229 pathogens identified. Bacterial accounted for 61.4% (754 strains) and virus for 24.8% (305 strains). Among all bacterium, Gram negative bacteria constituted 64.2% (484 strains), with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacter being the most common; Gram positive bacteria comprised 35.8% (270 strains), primarily Streptococcus and Staphylococcus species. Influenza virus (86 strains (28.2%)), Epstein-Barr virus (53 strains (17.4%)), and respiratory syncytial virus (46 strains (17.1%)) were the top three viruses. Children with malignant tumors were older and had higher pediatric risk of mortality (PRISM) Ⅲ score, paediatric sequential organ failure assessment (pSOFA) score (7.9 (4.3, 11.8) vs. 2.3 (0.8, 7.5) years old, 22 (16, 26) vs. 16 (10, 24) points, 10 (5, 14) vs. 8 (4, 12) points, Z=11.32, 0.87, 4.00, all P<0.05), and higher pathogen positive rate, and in-hospital mortality (77.7% (240/309) vs. 65.1% (611/938), 29.7% (92/309) vs. 21.0% (197/938), χ2=16.84, 10.04, both P<0.05) compared to the non-tumor group. In the death group, the score of PRISM Ⅲ, pSOFA (16 (22, 29) vs. 14 (10, 20) points, 8 (12, 15) vs. 6 (3, 9) points, Z=4.92, 11.88, both P<0.05) were all higher, and presence of neoplastic disease, positive rate of pathogen and proportion of invasive mechanical ventilation in death group were also all higher than those in survival group (29.7% (87/289) vs. 23.2% (222/958), 77.8% (225/289) vs. 65.4% (626/958), 73.7% (213/289) vs. 50.6% (485/958), χ2=5.72, 16.03, 49.98, all P<0.05). Multiple Logistic regression showed that PRISM Ⅲ, pSOFA, and malignant tumor were the independent risk factors for mortality ( OR=1.04, 1.09, 0.67, 95% CI 1.01-1.05, 1.04-1.12, 0.47-0.94, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Bacterial infection are predominant in pediatric septic shock, but viral infection are also significant. Children with malignancies are more severe and resource consumptive. The overall mortality rate for pediatric septic shock remains high, and mortality are associated with malignant tumor, PRISM Ⅲ and pSOFA scores.

Cytopharmaceutical based on macrophages is a breakthrough in the field of targeted drug delivery. However, it remains a challenge to localize and control drug release while retaining macrophage activity and exerting its immunotherapeutic effect. Herein, a localized light-triggered release macrophage cytopharmaceutical (USIP@M) was proposed, which could utilize the tumor targeting and immunotherapy effects of macrophages to reverse the immune suppression of tumor microenvironment (TME). Amphiphilic block copolymers with ultraviolet (UV)-responsive o-nitrobenzyl groups were synthesized and co-loaded with sorafenib (SF), IMD-0354 (IMD), and upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs), which were then taken up by macrophages, and the targeted delivery of drugs was realized by using the tumor tropism of macrophages. UCNPs converted near-infrared light with strong penetrability and high safety into UV light, which promoted the photoresponsive depolymerization of block copolymers and production of exosomes from USIP@M, accelerated drug efflux and maintained the activity of macrophages. IMD simultaneously polarized carrier macrophages and tumor-associated macrophages to exert the antitumor effect of macrophages, enhance T cell immunity, and alleviate the immunosuppressive state of TME. Synergistically with the chemotherapeutic effect of SF, it could effectively kill tumors. In conclusion, based on the localized light-triggered release strategy, this study constructed a novel macrophage cytopharmaceutical that could localize and control drug release while retaining the activity of macrophages and exerting its immunotherapeutic effect, which could effectively treat solid tumors.

Objective     To analyze the clinical characteristics of the Guang’an Omicron epidemic and summarize the management experiences and practices in pandemic prevention and control of major infectious diseases. Methods     Retrospective analysis was performed on patients infected with coronavirus disease (COVID-19), afterwards treated and observed in the isolation ward of Guang’an People’s Hospital and the shelter of Guang’an City from May 9 to June 26, 2022. The characteristics of patients at different age stages and the related factors affecting the severity, re-positive and negative conversion was analyzed. Results     Finally 1 278 patients were collected, including 508 males and 770 females, with an average age of 41.3±22.6 years. Among them, 1 054 patients were asymptomatic carriers. The overall severe rate was 0.86%, the severe rate of the high-risk group was 3.06%. The median negative conversion time was 10.0 days and re-positive rate was 7.36%. Patients aged>60 years were 2.589 times more likely to have a longer negative conversion time than those aged≤60 years (95%CI 1.921-3.489, P<0.001). Conclusion     The clinical characteristics of Guang’an COVID-19 epidemic are mainly that the elderly with high risk factors are more likely to develop severe cases, have longer clearance time, and re-positve is more likely to occur.

Objective:To explore the application method and effect of online teaching of pediatrics in undergraduate clinical medicine.Methods:From March to August, 2020, two classes of pediatrics were selected as research objects: 67 students from Batch 2016 "5+3" clinical medicine class were taught by providing recorded teaching resources and online communication and answering questions (hereinafter referred to as "recorded courses"); 39 students from Batch 2015 "5+3" clinical medicine class were taught by live courses and online communication and answering questions (hereinafter referred to as "live courses"). Through the questionnaire survey on the two groups of students, the effect of the two online teaching methods were compared and the medical students' views and suggestions on them were collected. SPSS 26.0 was used for statistical analysis.Results:Most of the students in the two groups (98.1%) agreed with the effect of the online teaching of pediatrics and thought it could meet their learning needs. There was no significant difference in the online teaching effect between recorded courses group and live courses group ( P > 0.05). However, they had a poor recognition with the implementation of complete online teaching in the future, while they preferred the combination of online teaching with practical exercises in offline hospitals. Conclusion:Online teaching of pediatrics has been recognized by medical students. The two online teaching methods have their own advantages: recorded courses are more planned and the content is more rigorous; live courses are more interactive and flexible. However, considering that medicine is a highly practical subject, it still needs to be supplemented by offline practice while giving full play to the advantages of online teaching.

Hypertension with high serum Homocysteine (Hcy) significantly increases the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, which is defined as H-Type Hypertension by Chinese scholars. Plenty of researches have confirmed that high prevalence of H-Type Hypertension in Chinese population is now the big public problem in China. Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)treatment shows the advantages in integral regulation, less side effect, and anti-Hcy effect in hypertension. This paper discussed the prevalence, TCM syndrome and TCM treatment progress in H-Type Hypertension to provide some ideas and references for the intervention of H-Type Hypertension by TCM.

Objective To investigate the status of clinical nutrition management in patients in PICU,and to provide data for promoting the improvement and development of clinical nutrition of pediatric critically ill patients.Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted on PICU specialists.The nutrition assessment,nutrition intervention and nutrition management of critically ill children in PICU were investigated.The results were summarized and analyzed.Results A total of 39 PICU specialists were involved in this survey.The nutritional assessment methods and guidelines in domestic PICU were not unified.Twenty-five respondents (64.1%) believed that both clinical performance and the scales as the basis can decide whether the patients should be fed or not;all respondents believed that nutritional assessment and intervention time need to be determined by the needs of the patients;23 respondents(58.9%) used weight only as their nutritional monitoring indicators.Twenty-eight respondents(71.8%) considered that gastric tube was the first choice way to feeding for the critically ill children;20 respondents(51.3%) believed that critically ill children should be fed within 24 hours.Twelve respondents (33.3%) believed that critically ill children should be fed between 24 to 48 hours.Thirty-three respondents(84.6%) advocated early enteral nutrition;36 respondents (92.3%) considered that the main reasons of fasting in critically ill children were vomiting or abdominal distension or gastrointestinal bleeding.Twenty-eight respondents(71.8%) believed that according to the results of gastrointestinal function evaluation,they made decisions whether the patient to fast or not.Twenty-three respondents(59.0%) considered that specialists in PICU were the decision maker of the clinical nutrition in critically ill children.Twenty-four (61.5%) of the respondents believed that we needed to establish our own routines in management of nutrition in PICU.Conclusion At present in China,a lot of achievements have been made in the nutritional assessment,monitoring,early enteral nutrition intervention and management in critically ill children,but it is not enough.We need to make more effort to enhance the critically nutrition level in PICU,and we have a lot of research to do about nutrition assessment and nutrition intervention mode.It is recommended to establish Chinese guidelines or consensus to enhance the level of nutritional treatment of critically ill children.

The elaboration of the mechanism and pharmacodynamic substance are the main obstacles to the modernization of Chinese medicine.The rich ingredient of Chinese medicine is almost attention,with a research strategy of forward pharmacology.This strategy often neglects the study of trace components of Chinese medicine.Synthetic lethality,a extremely complex gene interactions,is to magnify the effects of the co-regulation of biological effects (＞ 1 000 times).The theory of synthetic lethality has achieved good results in the development of anti-tumor drugs,including the discovery of PARP inhibitors,the clinical use of chemotherapy drug addition and attenuation combination.In view of this,this research model may be used to elucidate trace effective substance.Based on the reverse thinking of "targetcomponent-effect"and clear synergistic targets,the mechanism of traces and weak-potency substance of traditional Chinese medicine was studied,and the synergistic combination of potential was found.
