Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of oral solution of magnesium sodium potassium sulfate in bowel preparation before colonoscopy. Methods Patients who planned to undergo colonoscopy at the digestive department of the Ninth People’s Hospital, affiliated to School of Medicine of Shanghai Jiao Tong University from January 2023 to August 2023 were selected and eligible subjects were divided into two groups: Group A took polyethylene glycol （PEG） and Group B took oral solution of magnesium sodium potassium sulfate （OSS）. The quality, drug tolerance, and safety of intestinal preparation were evaluated. The quality of bowel preparation was evaluated by the boston bowel preparation scale （BBPS）. Results The right colon BBPS score of Group B was (2.39±0.82) points, which was significantly higher than of Group A (2.11±0.43) points （P<0.05）. The overall score of Group B was higher than that of Group A （P<0.05）. OSS was easier to take than PEG, with a good taste and overall sensation. Patients were willing to use OSS to clean their bowels even when they were willing to undergo another examination （P<0.05）. There was a significant difference in nausea and vomiting symptoms between the two groups （P<0.05）, and there were no significant changes in renal function and electrolytes before and after medication in the two groups of patients. Conclusion OSS had a higher quality of bowel cleaning and was easier for patients to accept.

Objective: To analyze the influence of stress and psychological resilience on the dietary behavior of middle school students so as to privide a basis for the development of policies and interventions aimed at improving middle school students dietary behavior. Methods: A total of 8 874 middle school students in Shanghai were surveyed using stratified cluster random sampling method from November 2019 to January 2020. The questionnaire included general information, dietary behavior, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10). Factor analysis was used to analyze the dietary behavior model. Logistic regression model was used to explore the correlation between stress, psychological resilience and dietary behavior in adolescents. Besides, a structural equation model was established to analyze the mediating effect of psychological resilience on stress and dietary behavior. Results: The total score of psychological resilience among middle school students was (27.99±9.83), and the total score of stress was (25.56±7.06). Factor analysis categorized dietary behavior into two types: the high energy dietary behavior and balanced dietary behavior. High energy dietary behavior exhibited statistically significant differences across genders and schooling stage ( χ 2=41.37, 204.03), while balanced dietary behavior showed statistically significant differences across schooling stage and socioeconomic status ( χ 2=130.23, 96.53) (all P <0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that adolescents with moderate and high stress levels had an increased risks of high energy dietary behavior ( OR=1.25, 95%CI =1.12-1.39; OR=1.58, 95% CI = 1.39-1.79) and a reduced likelihood of reduced balanced dietary behavior ( OR=0.73, 95%CI =0.65-0.81; OR=0.53, 95%CI =0.47-0.60); adolescents with high levels of psychological resilience had a decreased risk of highenergy dietary behavior ( OR= 0.73 , 95%CI =0.65-0.83), and those with moderate and high resilience levels showed improved balanced dietary behavior ( OR= 1.45 , 95%CI =1.29-1.62; OR=2.50, 95%CI =2.21-2.84) (all P <0.01). The mediating effect of psychological resilience between stress and high energy dietary behavior or balanced dietary behavior accounted for 15.61% and 56.10% of the total effects, respectively. Conclusions Stress and psychological resilience are the influencing factors of dietary behavior in middle school students. Psychological resilience have a partial mediating effect between stress and high energy dietary behavior or balanced dietary behavior.

Objective: To explore the effects of parenting style on emotional and behavioral problems (EBPs) of preschool children and to provide theoretical reference for promoting children s physical and mental health. Methods: In October-November 2021, a stratified cluster random sampling method was adopted to select 3 575 preschool children aged 3-6 years from 12 kindergartens in Hefei. Data on parenting styles and children s EBPs were collected through electronic questionnaires. Binary Logistic regression model was used to explore the effects of parenting styles on children s EBPs. Results: The detection rates of emotional symptoms, conduct problems, hyperactivity, peer interaction problems, and prosocial behavior problems were 15.5% ( n =554), 23.2% ( n =830), 22.4% ( n =802), 38.2% ( n =1 367), and 29.5% ( n =1 055) in preschool children, respectively. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for covariates such as child s age, sex, and preterm birth, a high authoritative parenting style reduced the risk of EBPs in children ( OR =0.29-0.78), while a high authoritarian ( OR =1.36-2.15) and high permissive ( OR =1.36-1.68) parenting style in mothers increased the risk of EBPs in children (all P <0.05). Further stratified analysis indicated that among children with fathers exhibiting high authoritative, high authoritarian, or high permissive parenting styles, a high authoritative parenting style in mothers reduced the risk of peer interaction problems and prosocial behavior problems ( OR =0.51, 0.30 ; 0.44, 0.23; 0.51, 0.29, all P <0.05). Among children with fathers exhibiting a high authoritative parenting style, a high authoritarian parenting style in mothers increased the risk of emotional problems ( OR =2.59), and both high authoritarian and high permissive parenting styles in mothers increased the risk of conduct problems ( OR =3.25, 2.09) and hyperactivity problems ( OR =2.35, 2.87) (all P <0.05). Among children with fathers exhibiting high authoritarian or high permissive parenting styles, a high authoritarian parenting style in mothers increased the risk of EBPs ( OR =1.65-2.71, 1.62-2.52, all P <0.05). Conclusion Parenting style is an important factor affecting EBPs of preschool children, and appropriate parenting style is beneficial for children s psychological development.

INTRODUCTION: Lecanemab has shown promise in treating early Alzheimer's disease (AD), but its safety and efficacy in Chinese populations remain unexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and 6-month clinical outcomes of lecanemab in Chinese patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild AD. METHODS: In this single-arm, real-world study, participants with MCI due to AD or mild AD received biweekly intravenous lecanemab (10 mg/kg). The study was conducted at Hainan Branch, Ruijin Hospital Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. Patient enrollment and baseline assessments commenced in November 2023. Safety assessments included monitoring for amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) and other adverse events. Clinical and biomarker changes from baseline to 6 months were evaluated using cognitive scales (mini-mental state examination [MMSE], montreal cognitive assessment [MoCA], clinical dementia rating-sum of boxes [CDR-SB]), plasma biomarker analysis, and advanced neuroimaging. RESULTS: A total of 64 patients were enrolled in this ongoing real-world study. Safety analysis revealed predominantly mild adverse events, with infusion-related reactions (20.3%, 13/64) being the most common. Of these, 69.2% (9/13) occurred during the initial infusion and 84.6% (11/13) did not recur. ARIA-H (microhemorrhages/superficial siderosis) and ARIA-E (edema/effusion) were observed in 9.4% (6/64) and 3.1% (2/64) of participants, respectively, with only two symptomatic cases (one ARIA-E presenting with headache and one ARIA-H with visual disturbances). After 6 months of treatment, cognitive scores remained stable compared to baseline (MMSE: 22.33 ± 5.58 vs . 21.27 ± 4.30, P = 0.733; MoCA: 16.38 ± 6.67 vs . 15.90 ± 4.78, P = 0.785; CDR-SB: 2.30 ± 1.65 vs . 3.16 ± 1.72, P = 0.357), while significantly increasing plasma amyloid-β 42 (Aβ42) (+21.42%) and Aβ40 (+23.53%) levels compared to baseline. CONCLUSIONS: Lecanemab demonstrated a favorable safety profile in Chinese patients with early AD. Cognitive stability and biomarker changes over 6 months suggest potential efficacy, though high dropout rates and absence of a control group warrant cautious interpretation. These findings provide preliminary real-world evidence for lecanemab's use in China, supporting further investigation in larger controlled studies. REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov , NCT07034222.

Objective:To investigate the safety and efficacy of submucous radiofrequency ablation of the inferior turbinate, and to provide a clinical basis for the surgical treatment of allergic rhinitis in children. Methods:Patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and allergic rhinitis who were admitted to the Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery of Shanghai Children's Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 and underwent bilateral submucous radiofrequency ablation of the inferior turbinate and radiofrequency ablation of the adenoid tonsil were included in the study. Observational and statistical indexes were used to evaluate the curative effect. Results:A total of 51 cases were included in this study, and 43 cases were followed up for half a year. Submucous radiofrequency ablation of the inferior turbinate plus radiofrequency ablation of the adenoid tonsil achieved a good effect （total effective rate 93%）, and there was a statistically significant difference in the preoperative and postoperative symptoms of the children（P<0.05）. There were no complications such as bleeding, Eustachian tube injury, nasal adhesion, or nasal dryness. Conclusion:Under the premise of strict control of surgical indications, children with allergic rhinitis can be treated surgically. Inferior turbinate submucous radiofrequency ablation is more minimally invasive, effective, and safe, and can be used in clinical practice.

Objective:Explore the clinical diagnosis and treatment strategies of recurrent multiple chondritis in children with airway involvement as the main cause. Methods:From June 2021 to May 2023, five children with relapsing polychondritis were admitted to our department, all of whom met the Damiani criteria. Tracheotomy was performed in all five patients. Endoscopy indicated subglottic stenosis, with one case classified as grade Ⅲ and four cases as grade Ⅳ according to the Myer-Cotton classification. Enhanced CT scans of the head and neck showed fixed lumen narrowing and stenosis, including thickening of the soft tissue in the laryngeal cavity and partial absorption of the laryngotracheal cartilage anterior wall. In one patient, tracheal wall thickening and deformation with stenosis and calcification involved the posterior tracheal wall. One patient underwent "laryngeal tracheal reconstruction with hyoid graft, T-tube implantation, and bioabsorbable corticosteroid-eluting stent implantation", while three patients underwent "balloon dilatation, T-tube implantation, and bioabsorbable corticosteroid-eluting stent implantation" . Follow-up was performed every two months after the initial surgery, and three bioabsorbable corticosteroid-eluting stents were placed on the upper left, upper right, and lower T-tube, respectively, during this time. The entire follow-up period was six months. Results:All the 5 cases were in the outpatient department, of which 1 case had been extubation, 3 cases were still in the outpatient follow-up, and the remaining 1 case was still being treated in the rheumatology and immunology department due to poor control of the primary disease. Conclusion:In relapsing polychondritis children with airway involvement, tracheotomy could be used to quickly improve the symptoms of dyspnea in the disease progression. In the stable stage of the disease, the surgical method of 'Balloon dilatation + T-tube implantation + Bioabsorbable corticosteroid-eluting stents implantation' was adopted to reduce the secondary injury caused by surgical trauma as much as possible and improve the survival and quality of life of the children.

Objective:To explore the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, pathological types and prognosis of primary cervical neuroblastoma in children. Methods:The clinical data of 11 children with primary cervical neuroblastoma admitted to the Department of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery at Shanghai Children's Hospital from April 2015 to April 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical characteristics, imaging findings, pathological types, treatment methods, and outcomes of these 11 patients were examined in conjunction with a review of the literature. Results:The cohort of 11 neuroblastoma patients ranged in age from 28 days to 88 months （median age: 24 months）, including 3 males and 8 females. Among the 11 patients, 4 had tumors located in the carotid sheath area, 4 in the cervical space, and 3 in the parapharyngeal and retropharyngeal spaces. The clinical manifestations primarily included painless cervical masses and laryngeal stridor. There were 3 cases of primary cervical tumors with cervical lymph node metastasis and 1 case with bone marrow metastasis. Pathological findings revealed neuroblastoma in 8 cases and ganglionic neuroblastoma in 3 cases. In this group, 7 patients underwent surgery combined with chemotherapy, 2 patients received surgery combined with chemoradiotherapy, and 2 patients underwent surgery alone. Surgical resection was performed via a cervical approach in 7 cases, while 3 cases were treated using a transoral endoscopic approach. Additionally, one patient underwent a transoral endoscopic approach initially and a cervical approach subsequently. All patients completed their treatment and were followed up regularly, with follow-up durations ranging from 6 to 79 months （median: 34 months）. Nine patients achieved complete remission, 2 patients achieved partial remission, and none experienced disease progression. Conclusion:Primary cervical neuroblastoma exhibits a high degree of heterogeneity and presents at a younger age, primarily with cervical masses. Compared to external approaches, endoscopy-assisted transoral resection of parapharyngeal tumors offers advantages such as reduced damage to surrounding tissue and no visible neck scars, providing a new method for clinical treatment. Regular follow-up is essential for children with neuroblastoma, along with the establishment of specific disease management protocols and comprehensive care to improve survival quality.

Objective:This aims to investigate the diagnostic and evaluative value of MRI for lymphatic malformations in the head, neck, and facial regions of children. Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the MRI imaging data of 31 cases of head, neck, and facial lymphatic malformations in children admitted to the Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Children's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, from January 2022 to January 2024. Results:The MRI images of this group of cases primarily displayed irregular morphology（80.6%, 25/31）, thin-walled cysts（80.6%, 25/31）, and compression of surrounding tissues. The boundaries were clear（100%, 31/31）, with characteristics of invasive and drill-like growth（93.5%）. The cyst walls or internal septa exhibited high signal intensity on T1WI, low signal intensity on T2WI, and mild to moderate enhancement（100%）. The contents of the cysts showed low signal intensity on T1WI, high signal intensity on T2WI, and no enhancement（35.5%, 11/31）. Mixed signals with varying degrees of enhancement were observed in 20 cases（64.5%）. There were 29 cases of multilocular cysts（93.5%, 29/31）, and 11 cases of fluid-fluid levels（35.5%）. The MRI diagnostic accuracy for this group of cases was 100%. Conclusion:Lymphatic Malformations of head, neck and facial region in children have very characteristic features on MRI, such as typical thin wall, clear boundaries, irregular shapes, invasive growth, no enhancement, multilocular cystic masses, fluid-fluid level, etc. Furthermore, it is more appropriate for children with lymphatic malformations owing to its non-radiation and non-invasive benefits. Diagnosing lymphatic malformations in the head, neck, and facial region in children should begin with this.

Pulpotomy, which belongs to vital pulp therapy, has become a strategy for managing pulpitis in recent decades. This minimally invasive treatment reflects the recognition of preserving healthy dental pulp and optimizing long-term patient-centered outcomes. Pulpotomy is categorized into partial pulpotomy (PP), the removal of a partial segment of the coronal pulp tissue, and full pulpotomy (FP), the removal of whole coronal pulp, which is followed by applying the biomaterials onto the remaining pulp tissue and ultimately restoring the tooth. Procedural decisions for the amount of pulp tissue removal or retention depend on the diagnostic of pulp vitality, the overall treatment plan, the patient's general health status, and pulp inflammation reassessment during operation. This statement represents the consensus of an expert committee convened by the Society of Cariology and Endodontics, Chinese Stomatological Association. It addresses the current evidence to support the application of pulpotomy as a potential alternative to root canal treatment (RCT) on mature permanent teeth with pulpitis from a biological basis, the development of capping biomaterial, and the diagnostic considerations to evidence-based medicine. This expert statement intends to provide a clinical protocol of pulpotomy, which facilitates practitioners in choosing the optimal procedure and increasing their confidence in this rapidly evolving field.
