Objective:To analyze the risk factors associated with difficult weaning in mechanical ventilation for pediatric patients and investigate the predictive value of utilizing lung ultrasound assessment to optimize preparation for weaning and enhance success rates, thereby establishing a scientific foundation.Methods:A multi-center, prospective observational study, convenience sampling was utilized to select 97 pediatric patients who underwent endotracheal intubation at the Shanghai Children's Medical Center affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine and Fujian Provincial Children's Hospital between September 2022 and May 2023. Lung ultrasound scores (LUS), Pediatric Critical Illness Score (PCIS), indicators related to respiratory oxygenation function and follow-up weaning outcomes were collected within 48-72 hours post-mechanical ventilation and prior to the first spontaneous breathing trial. The predictive efficacy of LUS in conjunction with risk factors associated with weaning difficulty on pediatric weaning outcomes was evaluated independently.Results:Among the 97 children studied, there were 57 boys and 40 girls, with ages ranging from 1 month to 14 years. By following up with weaning outcomes, the pediatric patients were divided into 55 cases of successful weaning group and 42 cases of difficult weaning group. During 48-72 hours of mechanical ventilation, LUS ( OR=2.05, 95% CI 1.43-2.94, P<0.05) and PCIS ( OR=0.68, 95% CI 0.50-0.92, P<0.05) were early risk factors for subsequent difficulties in weaning. And meantime, the combination of LUS(≥20 points) and PCIS(≤72 points) could effectively predict the risk of difficult weaning with a sensitivity of 61.90%, specificity of 96.36%, and an area under curve value of 0.84. Furthermore, before the first spontaneous breathing test, LUS ( OR=4.29, 95% CI 2.36-7.81, P<0.05) and rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) ( OR=1.84, 95% CI 1.01-3.36, P<0.05) were identified as risk factors for pediatric difficult weaning, and their combination LUS (≥16 points) and RSBI (>6.4) could predict the risk of difficult weaning more accurately with a sensitivity of 76.19%, specificity of 90.91%, and an area under curve value of 0.92. Conclusions:The application of pediatric ICU specialist nurses, based on bedside LUS combined with PCIS and RSBI, can effectively assess and identify the risk of children with difficult weaning in the early stage, and identify the risk factors, providing a scientific basis for implementing individualized pulmonary rehabilitation nursing and helping children successfully weaning.

BACKGROUND:Photothermal therapy is a novel tumor treatment strategy that uses photothermal agents to transform light energy into heat energy to accomplish non-invasive tumor ablation.The rise of photothermal therapy and nanotechnology has provided a new perspective on breast cancer treatment.OBJECTIVE:To prepare a new type of near-infrared biomimetic nanoprobe that has been modified by breast cancer cell membrane,to investigate the effect of near-infrared fluorescence/ultrasound imaging in vitro,and to observe its targeting ability and photothermal therapy effect on homologous tumor cells in vitro.METHODS:Organic small molecule ITIC-4CI with A-D-A structure was used as photothermal agents;polylactic acid/glycolic acid copolymer as nanocarrier;4T1 cell membrane of mouse breast cancer cells as a surface modifier of nanoparticles;perfluorohexane(PFH)was loaded.A novel near-infrared biomimetic nanoprobe(4T1m/ITIC-4CI/PFH)was prepared by the double emulsion evaporation method and sonication method.The basic characterization of the nanoprobe and the homologous targeting ability were detected.The photothermal properties and photothermal stability of the probe were investigated,and the near-infrared fluorescence/ultrasound imaging effect of the probe under laser irradiation was observed.The CCK-8 assay and calcein/propidium iodide staining were used to assess the efficacy of photothermal therapy.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The prepared 4T1m/ITIC-4CI/PFH nanoprobes had uniform size,high stability,and an average particle size of(92.7±2.3)nm.The probe's protein composition was identical to that of the 4T1 cell membrane.The nanoprobe's ability to target homologous 4T1 cells was validated by an in vitro cell uptake assay.(2)The nanoprobe had a red-shift absorption spectrum and tail emission extending to the near-infrared-Ⅱ,which emitted a bright near-infrared-Ⅱ fluorescence signal under laser irradiation.(3)After laser irradiation,the nanoprobe 4T1m/ITIC-4CI/PFH could be turned into microbubbles and enhanced ultrasound imaging.The results of CCK-8 assay and calcein/propidium iodide staining showed that the nanoprobe 4T1m/ITIC-4CI/PFH had an obvious photothermal killing effect on 4T1 cells.(4)The results show that the nanoprobe 4T1m/ITIC-4CI/PFH has the ability to target homologous tumors and enhance near-infrared-Ⅱ fluorescence imaging/ultrasound imaging and photothermal therapy effects.

OBJECTIVE To screen the active ingredient with estrogenic effect from total flavonoids of Cuscutae Semen. METHODS The estrogenic effect of total flavonoids from 10 batches of Cuscutae Semen was evaluated with mouse uterus coefficient and endometrial thickness as evaluation indexes， establish its fingerprint and calibrate the common peak. Common peak and spectrum-effect relationship of the above two indicators were analyzed by bivariate relationship analysis and grey correlation analysis to screen active components with estrogenic effect. UPLC-Q-TOF-MS technology was used to characterize the active components. RESULTS The estrogenic effect of total flavonoids from 10 batches of Cuscutae Semen was good. Twenty-eight and thirty-three common peaks of total flavonoids in Cuscutae Semen were obtained in the positive and negative ion modes respectively. The constituents represented by peaks 7，10，12-16，26 in positive ion mode and peaks 2，5，8，9，12，16，19，22-26 in negative ion mode were highly correlated with the estrogenic effect of total flavonoids from Cuscutae Semen. Further identification showed that the active substances with estrogenic effect from the total flavonoids of Cuscutae Semen were 5，7，3′， 4′-tetramethoxyflavone， 6- O-（trans） p-coumarin-furanfructose-（2→1）-glucopyranoside， rutin， kaempferol-3，7-diglucoside， apigenin-7-O-glucoside， hyperoside， baicalin， quercitin， quercetin， apigenin， kaempferol， isorhamnetin， rhododendron， isoquercetin， kaempferol-3-furan arabinoside， 2，6-octadecanediacetylic acid. CONCLUSIONS A total of 16 chemical components with estrogenic effect are screened from total flavonoids of Cuscutae Semen in the study， which can provide reference for the development of phytoestrogens.

Objective:To analyze the changes in self-efficacy and its influencing factors in type 2 diabetic patients after community-based self-management group intervention.Methods:From August to November 2014, a 3-month community-based self-management intervention study of type 2 diabetes patients was implemented in Fangshan District, Beijing. 510 patients were recruited through posters, household inquiries and telephone notification and then were randomly divided into intervention group (260 patients) and control group (250 patients). Finally, 500 patients completed the study, including 259 in the intervention group and 241 in the control group. Self-efficacy score was measured through face-to-face interview at different time points, including pre-intervention, post-intervention, 2 years after the intervention and 5 years after the intervention, respectively. A two-level random coefficient model was fitted to analyze the long-term trend of self-efficacy and its relationship with group intervention.Results:Individual-level educational attainment, disease duration as well as their treatment plans had a positive correlation with self-efficacy of type 2 diabetic patients while gender and age did not affect their self-efficacy. Patients with junior middle school education, senior high school education and university and above education had 4.66 ( P<0.05), 6.40 ( P<0.05) and 11.02 ( P<0.05) points higher than those with primary education, respectively. The self-efficacy of diabetic patients increased by 0.23 ( P<0.05) for each additional course year. The effect of treatment plan on self-efficacy was mainly reflected in the self-efficacy of taking medication or insulin injection as prescribed and blood glucose monitoring. After controlling for the confounding factors, i.e., gender, age, disease duration, educational attainment, and treatment plan, self-efficacy scores at the post-intervention increased in both groups compared to those at the pre-intervention. The intervention group had 7.95 points higher than the control group ( P<0.05). After the intervention, the self-efficacy scores of both groups decreased year by year while the intervention group declined faster, with 5.41 points ( P<0.05) at 2 years after the intervention and 8.94 points ( P<0.05) at 5 years after the intervention. Conclusion:Community-based self-management group intervention could improve the self-efficacy of type 2 diabetic patients while the self-efficacy decreases year by year in the absence of follow-up intervention.

Objective:To analyze the mortality level and trend of chronic and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) among elderly residents aged 65 and over in China from 2004 to 2018, and predict the age-standardized mortality rate of NCDs from 2019 to 2023.Methods:Data on resident death was collected from the National Mortality Surveillance data set and used to analyze the unstandardized mortality rates, age-standardized mortality rates, composition ratios and changing trends of NCDs among different genders, urban and rural areas, and geographical regions in China during 2004 to 2018. The age-standardized mortality rates were calculated based on the Year 2010 Population Census of China. The Joinpoint Regression Models were fitted by the weighted least squares method. The average annual percent change (AAPC) and its 95% confidence interval for the entire time period were calculated. Log-linear models were used to predict age-standardized mortality rates.Results:From 2004 to 2018, the age-standardized mortality rates of NCDs decreased from 4 697.05 per 100 000 to 3 555.35 per 100 000, with an average annual decline of 2.0% (95% CI: -2.7%- -1.3%). The age-standardized mortality rates among different genders, urban and rural areas, and regions showed a downward trend. The age-standardized mortality rates of eastern region (AAPC = -2.1%, 95% CI: -2.8%- -1.3%) and central region (AAPC = -2.8%, 95% CI: -3.4%- -2.1%) fell faster than that of western region (AAPC = -0.8%, 95% CI: -1.8%-0.2%). The proportion of deaths caused by NCDs increased from 89.82% to 91.41%, with an average annual increase of 0.1% (95% CI: 0.1%-0.2%). Expected to 2023, the age-standardized mortality rates for male (3 906.23 per 100 000) will be significantly higher than female's (2 708.43 per 100 000); and that in rural areas (3 283.20 per 100 000) will be approximately equal to that in urban areas (3 250.01 per 100 000); the gap of age-standardized mortality rate between the western (3 782.48 per 100 000), eastern (3 037.01 per 100 000), and central region (3 249.24 per 100 000) will be further increased. Conclusion:From 2004 to 2018, age-standardized mortality rates of NCDs of the elderly residents in China showed a downward trend, and the proportion of deaths of NCDs showed an upward trend. Male and the western region elderly residents should be the key population for prevention and control of chronic diseases in the future.

Objective:To evaluate the quality of the National Demonstration Area for Comprehensive Prevention and Control of NCDs (referred to as "the Demonstration Area").Methods:Based on the evaluation scores of the Demonstration Area field survey from 2017 to 2019, we counted the scores of each indicator, comparing the scores among indicators and regions. x± s was used to describe the scores. The 95% CI of the score was used to test the statistical difference among regions. Each score was converted into a hundred-mark system to compare the scores among indicators. Results:Of 236 Demonstration Areas, the total score was 83.5. The scores of the first-level indicator listed from high to low appeared as Integrating System of NCD Prevention and Control (92.8), Policy Perfection (90.3), Building Supportive Environment for NCD Prevention and Control (88.4), Implementation of Health Education and Health Promotion (87.4), Whole-course Management of NCDs (78.1), Innovation and Guidance (76.5), Surveillance and Evaluation (75.1). Total scores were higher in the east (259.2±18.8) comparing to the middle (243.2±15.2) or the west (245.4±19.7) regions.Conclusions:Substantial variations on the quality in the Demonstration Area existed across different regions in China. These disparities are important to the government when developing health policies and allocating resources. Whole-course Management of NCDs, Surveillance and Evaluation, and Innovation and Guidance in the Demonstration Area also needs to be improved.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of different doses of rabbit antithymocyte globulin (rATG) in haplo-HSCT in the treatment of hematologic malignancies.Methods:Malignant hematological patients treated at our hospital from March 2013 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were divided into three groups as per three doses of ATG (6 mg/kg, 7.5 mg/kg, and 9 mg/kg) in the conditioning regimens. The transplant outcomes were compared in terms of the occurrence of acute graft versus host disease (GVHD) , infection, and survival.Results:①Total 288 patients were enrolled in the study, including 182 men and 106 women, with a median age of 18 (6-62) years. Total 110 patients were diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) , 128 with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) , 8 with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) , 28 with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) , and 14 with mixed cell leukemia (MAL) . There were 159 patients in the ATG-6 group, 72 in the ATG-7.5 group, and 57 in the ATG-9 group. The median follow-up time of post transplantation was 14 (0.2-74) months. ②The incidence of neutrophil engraftment (96.9% , 97.2% , and 96.5% , respectively) and platelet engraftment (92.5% , 87.5% , and 86% , respectively) did not significantly differ among the ATG-6, ATG-7.5, and ATG-9 groups ( P=0.972, P=0.276) . The incidence of grades 2-4 acute GVHD was 14.5% , 11.1% , and 8.8% in the three groups, respectively ( P=0.493) , chronic GVHD incidence in the three group was 8.8% , 14.3% and 12.0% , respectively ( P=0.493) . The infection rates of CMV and EBV in the ATG-9 group (77.2% and 12.5% ) were significantly higher than those in the ATG-6 (43.3% and 3.5% ) , and ATG -7.5 group (44.4% and 1.5% ) ( P<0.001 and P=0.033, respectively) . ③Among the three groups, there were no significant difference in the 3-year overall survival [68.5% (95% CI 60.3% -77.9% ) , 60.1% (95% CI 48.3% -74.8% ) , 64.7% (95% CI 51.9% -80.7% ) ], cumulative incidences of relapse [34.6% (95% CI 34.3% -35.1% ) , 38.0% (95% CI 37.3% -38.7% ) , 20.6% (95% CI 20.0% -21.3% ) ], disease-free survival [53.3% (95% CI 44.9% -63.4% ) , 51.9% (95% CI 41% -65.8% ) , 63.9% (95% CI 51.9% -78.7% ) ] and non-relapse mortality [24.2% (95% CI 23.8% -24.5% ) , 26.0% (95% CI 25.4% -26.6% ) , 23.6% (95% CI 26.3% -28.2% ) ] ( P=0.648, P=0.165, and P=0.486 and P=0.955) . Conclusion:Low dose (6 mg/kg) of rATG may increase the risk of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD, and a high dose (9 mg/kg) of ATG could significantly increase the risk of CMV and EBV infection. Median dose (7.5 mg/kg) of ATG is expected to reduce the incidence of moderate to severe aGVHD and viral infections without increasing the mortality.

Objective: To evaluate the daily average intake of dietary fiber of primary school students in Gongshu District, Hangzhou, in order to strengthen the diet guidance and health education. Methods: The method of stratified random cluster sampling was employed to carry out a dietary survey for 887 pupils from 2-6th grade selected from 4 primary schools in Gongshu District, Hangzhou City. The consumption of various kinds of breakfast in pupils’ diet was obtained through dietary survey. The content of dietary fibers in various kinds of food was determined by enzymatic-gravimetric method, and based on this, the daily average intake of dietary fiber of pupils in Gongshu District was calculated. Results: A total of 434 samples of 12 kinds of food in Gongshu District of Hangzhou were determined. The results showed that the dietary fiber content ranged from 0.31 to 2.17 g/100 g in all kinds of breakfast. The difference of dietary fiber content was statistically significant(F=76.50, P=0.00). Among them, noodles and soybean milk were found of more dietary fiber content. However, pupils’ dietary fiber intake for breakfast ranged from 1.82 to 3.04 g/100 g, and the intake was generally low, showing an increasing trend with the increase of grade. The difference of dietary fiber intake among the second to sixth grades was statistically significant (F=18.72, P=0.01). After comparison by SLD method, it was found that the difference of dietary fiber intake between the second and third grade (P=0.22), and between the fifth and sixth grade(P=0.30) were not statistically significant, but the others were statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion The unreasonable dietary structure and poor breakfast quality are common phenomena. Well-tailored education programs slaping of adequate and blanced dietary behaviors are in great needs.
