ObjectiveMagnetoencephalography (MEG), a non-invasive neuroimaging technique, meticulously captures the magnetic fields emanating from brain electrical activity. Compared with MEG based on superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUID), MEG based on optically pump magnetometer (OPM) has the advantages of higher sensitivity, better spatial resolution and lower cost. However, most of the current studies are clinical studies, and there is a lack of animal studies on MEG based on OPM technology. Pain, a multifaceted sensory and emotional phenomenon, induces intricate alterations in brain activity, exhibiting notable sex differences. Despite clinical revelations of pain-related neuronal activity through MEG, specific properties remain elusive, and comprehensive laboratory studies on pain-associated brain activity alterations are lacking. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of inflammatory pain (induced by Complete Freund’s Adjuvant (CFA)) on brain activity in a rat model using the MEG technique, to analysis changes in brain activity during pain perception, and to explore sex differences in pain-related MEG signaling. MethodsThis study utilized adult male and female Sprague-Dawley rats. Inflammatory pain was induced via intraplantar injection of CFA (100 μl, 50% in saline) in the left hind paw, with control groups receiving saline. Pain behavior was assessed using von Frey filaments at baseline and 1 h post-injection. For MEG recording, anesthetized rats had an OPM positioned on their head within a magnetic shield, undergoing two 15-minute sessions: a 5-minute baseline followed by a 10-minute mechanical stimulation phase. Data analysis included artifact removal and time-frequency analysis of spontaneous brain activity using accumulated spectrograms, generating spectrograms focused on the 4-30 Hz frequency range. ResultsMEG recordings in anesthetized rats during resting states and hind paw mechanical stimulation were compared, before and after saline/CFA injections. Mechanical stimulation elevated alpha activity in both male and female rats pre- and post-saline/CFA injections. Saline/CFA injections augmented average power in both sexes compared to pre-injection states. Remarkably, female rats exhibited higher average spectral power 1 h after CFA injection than after saline injection during resting states. Furthermore, despite comparable pain thresholds measured by classical pain behavioral tests post-CFA treatment, female rats displayed higher average power than males in the resting state after CFA injection. ConclusionThese results imply an enhanced perception of inflammatory pain in female rats compared to their male counterparts. Our study exhibits sex differences in alpha activities following CFA injection, highlighting heightened brain alpha activity in female rats during acute inflammatory pain in the resting state. Our study provides a method for OPM-based MEG recordings to be used to study brain activity in anaesthetized animals. In addition, the findings of this study contribute to a deeper understanding of pain-related neural activity and pain sex differences.

Objective To investigate the adverse pregnancy outcomes of fetuses with increased nuchal translucency(NT).Methods A total of 376 pregnant women at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from May 2023 to January 2024 were selected as research subjects,who had a diagnosis of fetal NT ≥ the 95th percentile and complete pregnancy outcomes for singleton pregnancies.The fetuses were divided into simple thickening group(n=320)and thickening with structural abnormalities group(n=56)based on NT ultrasound results.The interventional prenatal diagnosis outcomes and pregnancy outcomes of two groups were compared.Results The rate of chromosomal abnormalities and the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes were higher in thickening with structural abnormalities group compared to simple thickening group with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).The overall incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes in NT thickened fetuses was 31.65％,but after excluding chromosomal abnormalities and structural malformations,the good pregnancy outcome rate in NT thickened fetuses was 98.09％.Conclusion NT thickening is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes in fetuses,and the risk of poor fetal outcome is further increased when NT thickening combined with structural abnormalities in early pregnancy,but the pregnancy outcome is better in fetuses with NT thickening after excluding chromosomal abnormalities and structural malformations.

Objective:To summarize the initial experience of 5G-ultra-long-distance robotic hepatectomy.Methods:This is a retrospective case series study. The clinical information from 5 cases of 5G ultra-long-distance robot-assisted hepatectomy performed was collected from June 2023 to October 2024, in collaboration between Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine in Hangzhou and Alaer Hospital, Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine in Alaer, located 4 600 km apart. The patients comprised 1 male and 4 females, aged from 36 to 59 years, with an average age of 48 years. Their body mass index ranged from 20.4 to 30.9 kg/m2, with an average of 24.62 kg/m2. Preoperatively, 5 patients were diagnosed with liver disease requiring hepatectomy. The operations used 5G ultra-remote four-arm endoscopic robot surgery system. The remote control room was located in Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital (Hangzhou, Zhejiang), and the robot operating room was located in Alaer Hospital (Alaer, Xinjiang). The wired network relied on 60 Mb/s high-speed public Internet special line (China Telecom). In order to ensure the security of data transmission, the system implemented a double-layer encryption strategy for the wired network, and carried out strict debugging and verification for both the wired and wireless networks. Perioperative data and information on network performance were collected for 5 patients.Results:The surgical duration of the 5 cases of 5G ultra-long-distance robot-assisted hepatectomy ranged from 49 to 342 minutes, with an average of 184 minutes. Intraoperative blood loss varied from 5 to 800 ml, averaging 183 ml. Network performance was evaluated during the surgery, revealing an average network latency of 108.2 ms, with no significant lag or delay observed during any of the procedures. All patients recovered smoothly, with a postoperative hospital stay ranging from 5 to 10 days, averaging 7.2 days. Postoperative complications included 1 case of hypoproteinemia and 1 case of pleural effusion. Pathological examination confirmed that all cases suffered benign liver diseases (three patients with hepatic hemangioma, one with regenerative nodule in cirrhosis, and one with hepatolithiasis and choledocholithiasis).Conclusion:The preliminary exploration of clinical practice indicated that 5G-ultra-long-distance robot-assisted surgery is feasible for hepatectomy, with no severe complications affecting patients′ recovery.

Objective:To investigate the effects of different BMI classifications on rehabilitation outcomes and complications after total knee arthroplasty(TKA).Methods:Clinical data of 88 patients who underwent TKA in our hospital from January 2022 to June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the World Health Organization(WHO)BMI standards,patients were divided into normal weight group(18.5 ≤BMI＜24.9 kg/m2),overweight group(25.0≤BMI＜29.9 kg/m2),mild obesity group(30.0≤BMI＜34.9 kg/m2),and severe obesity group(BMI≥35.0 kg/m2).Baseline data,operation time,intraoperative blood loss,hospital stay,postoperative knee function scores,pain scores,range of motion(ROM),and incidence of complications were compared among groups.Results:With the increase of BMI,operation time was prolonged,intraoperative blood loss increased,and hospital stay extended,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).At 3-month and 6-month follow-ups,Knee Society Score(KSS)and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index(WOMAC)showed that functional recovery decreased with increasing BMI(P＜0.05).Regarding postoperative complications,the incidence of poor incision healing,infection,and deep vein thrombosis(DVT)in the obese groups was significantly higher than in the normal weight and overweight groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion:BMI is an important factor affecting rehabilitation outcomes and complications after TKA.Patients with high BMI have slower functional recovery and higher complication rates.For patients with high BMI,preoperative weight loss and individualized rehabilitation programs should be considered to improve TKA prognosis.

Aim To study the protective effect of puer-arin(PR)on myocardial injury in diabetic mice and to explore the related mechanism.Methods Eight male C57BL/6J mice were randomly selected as the control group,and the remaining mice were randomly injected with streptozotocin(STZ)to construct a diabetes mod-el,and the mice that were successfully modeled were randomly divided into the model group,PR high,medi-um and low dose groups,pyroptosis inhibitor(NSA)group and pyroptosis inducer(Nigericin)group,which were administered continuously for 12 weeks.After the last dose,the serum and heart tissues of mice were taken to observe the changes of myocardium,the con-tents of lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)and creatine ki-nase isoenzyme(CK-MB)in the serum were detected,and the protein and mRNA expressions of pyroptosis-related factors(NLRP3,caspase-1,GSDMD,IL-18,IL-1β)in myocardial tissues of mice were detected.Re-sults Compared with the control group,the model group had swollen and twisted myocardial tissue,myo-cardial arrangement disorder,increased collagen fibers,increased content of LDH and CK-MB in serum,and significantly increased the expression of pyroxosis relat-ed factors in myocardial tissue(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Compared with the model group,the pathologi-cal changes of myocardial tissue in in the PR and NSA groups were significantly improved,the content of ser-um LDH and CK-MB was significantly reduced,and the expression of pyroxosis related factors in myocardial tis-sue was significantly inhibited(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),while there was no significant change in the Nigericin group.Conclusions PR has a protective effect on myocardial injury in diabetic mice,and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of the NL-RP3/caspase-1/GSDMD pyrosis signaling pathway.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial resistance profiles of bacterial strains isolated from pediatric intensive care units(PICU)in China for better antimicrobial therapy.Methods Clinical isolates were collected from 17 institutions,including tertiary care children's hospitals and pediatric department of tertiary general hospitals in China from January 1,2020 to December 31,2022.Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out according to a unified protocol using Kirby-Bauer method or automated systems.Results were interpreted according to the breakpoints released by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)in 2020.Results A total of 10 688 isolates were collected,including gram-positive organisms(39.2％)and gram-negative organisms(60.8％).The top three organisms were S.aureus(13.6％,1 453/10 688),A.baumannii(10.0％,1 067/10 688),and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus(9.9％,1 058/10 688).Multi-drug resistant organisms(MDROs)were very common in children.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA),carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales(CRE),carbapenem-resistant E.coli,carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae(CRKP),carbapenem-resistant A.baumannii(CRAB),and carbapenem-resistant P.aeruginosa(CRPA)was 41.1％,19.4％,8.8％,30.9％,67.4％,and 28.8％,respectively.Overall,more than 50％of Enterobacteriales isolates were resistant to cephalosporins,while nearly 25％of Enterobacteriales isolates were resistant to carbapenems.MDROs were highly resistant to commonly used antibiotics.More than 80％of CRE and CRAB strains were resistant to all beta-lactam antibiotics.CRE and CRAB showed low resistance rates to tigecycline and polymyxin.CRPA showed lower resistance rates to piperacillin,beta-lactamase inhibitor combinations than the resistance rates to third and fourth generation cephalosporins.All of the Staphylococcus and Enterococcus isolates were susceptible to vancomycin and tigecycline.None of PRSP strains isolated from meningitis and nonmeningitis samples were resistant to rifampicin,vancomycin,or linezolid.The prevalence of β-lactamase-negative ampicillin-resistant(BLNAR)strains was 43.3％in Haemophilus influenzae.Conclusions MDROs were prevalent in PICU.It is necessary to establish an effective multidisciplinary team(MDT)to control the antimicrobial resistance.
