Objective To assess the motor function of school-aged children with congenital muscular torticollis(CMT),and analyze the spatiotemporal parameters of their walking motion as well as the kinematic parameters of the trunk and lower limbs,so as to explore the potential long-term impact of CMT on the growth and development of children.Methods Using three-dimensional(3D)gait analysis technology,the gait of children with CMT was evaluated in detail and compared with that of normal children.The motion angles and ranges of the trunk,pelvis,hip,knee,and ankle joints,along with spatio-temporal parameters,were analyzed.Thirty-one children with CMT aged 6-12 years were recruited into the torticollis group,and 31 normal children of the same age range were included in the control group.The data of the torticollis group were divided into the healthy side and the affected side based on the side of the torticollis.Statistical analysis was performed among the three groups to calculate the differences in kinematic and spatio-temporal parameters.Results Compared with nomal children of the same age in the control group,significant differences were observed in the affected and unaffected sides of the torticollis group in terms of stride length,gait speed,percentage of support phase time,average ankle inversion angle during the swing phase,average ankle inversion angle during the support phase,average foot orientation angle during the support phase,average ankle internal rotation angle relative to the tibia during the stance phase,average knee valgus angle during the stance phase,average shoulder joint elevation,and shoulder joint height at landing.Specifically,the torticollis group had significantly lower stride length,gait speed,ankle inversion angle,knee valgus angle,and foot eversion angle in both the affected and unaffected sides compared to the control group,while the percentage of support phase time and the internal rotation angle of the foot relative to the tibia during the stance phase were higher than those in the control group.Conclusions For school-aged children with CMT,there are still residual manifestations of overall motor development abnormalities.These abnormalities also affect the non-affected side.Children with CMT have a relatively high risk of developing uneven shoulders,their overall walking efficiency is lower than that of normal children of the same age,and they exhibit lower limb motor abnormalities such as insufficient ankle joint stability.

Through a comprehensive analysis of four cases involving repeated forensic clinical identification on the degree of human injury,disability grade,causal relationship of injury and disease,medical damage liability dispute,the reasons for the emergence of different appraisal opinions are explored.According to the reasons for the disputed conclusion,the deviation or error of the appraisal opinion can be classified in a variety of ways.Among them,the inherent limitations of theories and methods used as appraisal bases,the lack of operational skills or cognitive ability of appraisers,the unclear provisions of appraisal standards and the lack of adequacy and validity in the process of analysis and reasoning are the key reasons for the deviation or error of appraisal opinions.In light of these findings,it is necessary to strengthen the review of expert opinions in judicial practice and form a powerful error correction mechanism.

Tuberculosis is a zoonotic disease posing a substantial public health threat.Immunological diagnosis and vaccine im-munization are both necessary to control tuberculosis prevalence.However,the identical antigenic components in diagnostic reagents and vaccines hinder the use of animal vaccines and limit the specificity of clinical diagnosis in humans.Differentiating infected from vaccinated animals can overcome these problems.This article reviews the progress in differential diagnosis research from three as-pects:the diagnostic effects of antigens,methods for discovering new antigens,and screening of new host immune markers,to provide a theoretical basis for future research.

Objective:To explore the effect of nurse-led peer education on the disease knowledge, medication adherence, and fall efficacy of osteoporosis patients.Methods:From June 2022 to May 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 63 patients with osteoporosis who visited the Bone Metabolism Clinic of Peking Union Medical College Hospital as participants. The patients were divided into a control group ( n=32) and an observation group ( n=31) using a random number table method. Control group received conventional health education, while observation group was treated with nurse-led peer education on the basis of control group. The osteoporosis knowledge, medication adherence, and fall efficacy scores were compared between the two groups of patients before and after intervention. Results:Two cases were lost to follow-up in control group, one case was lost to follow-up in observation group, and ultimately 30 cases were included in both observation group and control group. Before intervention, there was no statistically significant difference in osteoporosis knowledge, medication adherence, and fall efficacy scores between the two groups of patients ( P>0.05). After intervention, observation group had higher scores in osteoporosis knowledge, medication adherence, and fall efficacy than control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Nurse-led peer education based on online platforms can improve the knowledge, medication compliance, and fall efficacy score of osteoporosis patients, and is worthy of promotion and application in health education for osteoporosis patients.

The patient's right of informed consent is the key issue that must be paid attention to in the identification of medical damage cases.In judicial practice,expert opinion plays an important role in supporting the judicial judgment results of medical injury disputes.However,in terms of causality and cause force,it is not uncommon that there are discrepancies between trial results and expert opinions,and it is often related to the judgment of informed consent.By the analysis of two cases with medical damage identification and judicial judgment,it is found that the fault of diagnosis and treatment is often confused with the fault of notification in the expert opinion,and no distinction is made in causation and cause force analysis.In fact,it is against the original intention of law and judicial interpretation,and does not conform to the actual situation of difference between the two kinds of faults.It is necessary to re-understand the differences and connections between the two faults,accurately distinguish different situations and use different expression methods in the expression of expert opinion to better serve the judicial trial.

AIM:To observe the effect of Pingwei capsule on the precancerous lesions of gastric cancer(PLGC)cell model induced by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine(MNNG),and to preliminarily explore its mecha-nism.METHODS:Blank serum and Pingwei capsule-containing serum were prepared for later use.A PLGC cell model was established by MNNG-induced human gastric mucosal epithelial cell line GES-1.To evaluate the model,cell morpho-logical changes were observed under inverted microscope,and the expression of proliferating cell-related antigen Ki67 was detected by immunofluorescence staining.CCK-8 assay was used to screen the optimal intervention concentration and time of serum containing drugs.Reactive oxygen species(ROS)content in cells was detected using a fluorescent probe DCFH-DA.Malondialdehyde(MDA)content was detected by ELISA,and the activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD)and gluta-thione peroxidase(GSH-Px)was detected using biochemical reagents.A novel fluorescent probe JC-10 was used to detect mitochondrial membrane potential.The mRNA expression levels of Ki67 and melanoma differentiation-associated gene-7(MDA-7)were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.The protein expression levels of Ki67,interleukin-6(IL-6)and MDA-7 were detected by Western blot.RESULTS:Compared with normal group,the ROS and MDA levels in model group and blank serum group were significantly increased(P<0.01),while the activity of SOD and GSH-Px was significantly decreased(P<0.01).The mitochondrial membrane potential was significantly decreased(P<0.01).The protein expression levels of Ki67 and IL-6 were significantly increased(P<0.01),while the protein expression level of MDA-7 was significantly decreased(P<0.01).There were no significant differences of the above indicators between model group and blank serum group(P>0.05).Compared with blank serum group,the Pingwei capsule-containing serum group showed significantly decreased ROS and MDA levels(P<0.01),significantly increased activity of SOD and GSH-Px(P<0.05),significantly increased mitochondrial membrane potential(P<0.01),significantly decreased protein expres-sion levels of Ki67 and IL-6(P<0.01),and significantly increased protein and mRNA expression levels of MDA-7(P<0.01).CONCLUSION:Pingwei capsule can significantly alleviate MNNG-induced oxidative damage and inflammatory response,and regulate the expression of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes,thereby playing a role in prevention and treatment of PLGC.
