Abstract
In April 2021, type Ⅰ vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV) was detected from two fecal samples of a male infant with acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) in Zhejiang Province when he was admitted to the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University in Shanghai, with 12 and 14 nucleotide mutations in the VP1 region, respectively. The case had a history of immunization with three doses of poliovirus vaccines, and grade Ⅲ proximal muscle strength and grade Ⅱ distal muscle strength of the right lower limb. After symptomatic treatment, the activity of the right lower limb and the muscle strength was significantly restored, thus he was discharged. VDPV was not detected from subsequent (the 8th to 12th) fecal samples of the case and fecal samples of close contacts. No similar cases were found in medical institutions in the county, surrounding areas, neighboring villages or towns. Since the case did not exhibit clinical symptoms of poliomyelitis caused by VDPV, poliomyelitis was excluded, and the case was diagnosed with hemophilia type A based on the epidemiological investigation, laboratory tests, and the history of poliomyelitis vaccination. This event involved cross-provincial (municipal) cooperation and was responsed promptly, preventing further spread of the virus. It suggested that the sensitivity of the AFP case surveillance system should be maintained, environmental monitoring methods should be increased, and the poliomyelitis vaccination should be promoted to prevent the spread of the virus.
2.Systematic review and Meta analysis of the effect of sleep on subsequent day physical activity among children and adolescents
Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(12):1781-1786
Objective:
To explore the effects of sleep on subsequent day physical activity (PA) in children and adolescents, so as to provide a reference for refining PA intervention strategies and further investigating their underlying mechanisms.
Methods:
Through searching databases including Web of Science Core Collection, PubMed, EBSCOhost, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang and VIP cross sectional, cohort and experimental studies on sleep and subsequent day PA among children and adolescents were identified, with the searching period spanning from database inception to June, 2025. Based on the characteristics of the included literature, two sleep variables[sleep duration (SD) and sleep efficiency (SE)] and three physical activity variables[moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), light physical activity (LPA), and total physical activity (TPA)] were selected. The relationship between these two types of variables was analyzed for pooled effect sizes using Stata 17.0.
Results:
A total of 14 studies were included, with 64.3% published in 2018 or later, involving 11 361 children and adolescents from 17 countries. Meta analysis results showed that both SD ( ES=0.04, 95%CI =0.01-0.07) and SE ( ES=0.24, 95%CI =0.01-0.47) were positively correlated with subsequent day MVPA (both P <0.05). However, no statistically significant associations were found with LPA ( ES=-0.04, 95%CI =-0.13 to 0.06; ES=-0.02, 95%CI =-0.15 to 0.11) or TPA( ES=0.09, 95%CI =-0.02 to 0.20; ES=0.02, 95%CI = -0.03 to 0.06)(all P >0.05). Subgroup analysis revealed that in the "≤6 years" subgroup, SD and SE were positively correlated with TPA ( ES=0.22, 95%CI =0.09-0.35) and MVPA ( ES=1.19, 95%CI =1.06-1.32), respectively; in the "6-12 years" subgroup, SD was positively correlated with MVPA ( ES=0.05, 95%CI =0.02-0.08); in the "≥12 years" subgroup, SE was positively correlated with LPA ( ES=0.08, 95%CI =0.00-0.16), while SD was negatively correlated with LPA ( ES=-0.23, 95%CI = -0.31 to -0.16) (all P <0.05).
Conclusion
Adequate SD and good SE can effectively enhance subsequent day MVPA among children and adolescents, although these sleep effects vary by age group.

LINGO-1,a Nogo receptor-interacting protein-1 rich in leucine repeat sequences and immunoglobulin structural domains,which is specifically expressed in neurological diseases. In recent years,more and more evidences indicate that LINGO-1 plays an important role in glial scar formation,cell death and inflammatory reaction. LINGO-1 inhibits oligodendrocyte activation,and prevents axon and myelin formation and functional recovery,and is therefore considered to be a negative regulator of neuronal survival,neurite extension and axon myelination. The change of LINGO-1 level is related to the occurrence and development of many neurological diseases. This article reviews the physiological function of LINGO-1 and summarizes the latest research progress of LINGO-1 in multiple sclerosis,spinal cord injury,neonatal brain injury and epilepsy,so as to explore new strategies for the treatment of neurological diseases.

Objective:To explore the early predictive value of umbilical cord blood S100β protein and lactate combined with amplitude integrated electroencephalogram(aEEG)in small for gestational age(SGA)preterm infants with brain injury.Methods:One hundred and six cases of SGA preterm infants were enrolled in this study in Neonatology Department of Inner Mongolia People's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2021. Umbilical cord blood serum S100β protein and lactate at birth of All SGA preterm infants were tested,and aEEG was monitored at 6h and 72 h after birth,corrected gestational age of 32 weeks and 37 weeks. According to the diagnostic criteria of brain injury in preterm infants,SGA preterm infants were divided into brain injury group(45 cases)and non-brain injury group(61 cases),and compared the differences of S100β protein,lactate and the designated time aEEG between the two groups.SGA preterm infants with brain injury were further divided into symmetrical group(28 cases)and non-symmetrical group(15 cases). The differences of umbilical cord blood S100β protein and lactate level between the two groups were compared,and the diagnostic value in different types of SGA preterm infants with brain injury was also compared.Results:SGA preterm infants in the brain injury group had significantly higher levels of umbilical cord blood S100β protein[(0.826±0.218)μg/L vs(0.397±0.196)μg/L, t=8.316, P<0.05]and lactate[(8.5±1.3)mmol/L vs(3.8±0.9)mmol/L, t=3.281, P<0.05]than those in non-brain injury group.Symmetric SGA group had higher level of S100β protein than the asymmetric SGA group[(0.924±0.205)μg/L vs(0.438±0.196)μg/L, t=5.734, P<0.05].But there was no statistically significant difference in lactate levels[(5.6±1.4)mmol/L vs(3.9±1.2)mmol/L, t=0.932, P>0.05]between symmetric SGA group and asymmetric SGA group. The abnormal rates of aEEG in brain injury group and non-brain injury group were respectively 100%(45/45)vs 22.95%(14/61)at 6 h after birth,95.56%(43/45)vs 16.39%(10/61)at 72 h after birth,62.22%(28/45)vs 6.56%(4/61)at 32 weeks of corrected gestational age,22.22%(10/45)vs 3.28%(2/61)at 37 weeks of corrected gestational age. The abnormal rate of brain injury group was higher than the non-brain injury group in the same nodal time,and the differences were statistically significant( χ 2 value respectively 62.292,64.913,38.074,9.257,all P<0.05). Conclusion:There were significant value in umbilical cord blood S100β protein,lactate level and aEEG monitoring in the early diagnosis in preterm infants SGA with brain injury. The combination of the three might be more helpful for the early diagnosis and timely treatment of brain injury in SGA preterm infants.

Vasoinhibitory vasovagal syncope(VVS-VI)in children is the most common type of responses in vasovagal syncope(VVS)and has a high incidence. VVS-VI is a recurrent disorder caused by a malfunctioning autonomic nervous system. VVS-VI can be caused by a variety of stimuli such as strong emotions,sudden changes in posture,hot and stuffy environments and prolonged standing. It was found that VVS-VI is a benign disease without organic lesions and is self-limiting and reversible,but VVS-VI children often suffer irreversible consequences due to secondary injuries. VVS-VI seriously affects the life and academic performance of children,endangers their physical and mental health,and causes anxiety among parents,so the number of studies on VVS-VI has increased in recent years. This article summarizes the progress of diagnostic research on VVS-VI in children,and provides a reference for related research.

BACKGROUND:Premature birth is a major global health problem associated with high mortality and morbidity.White matter injury is the most common brain injury in preterm infants.Salvia miltiorrhiza is a traditional herbal plant that is commonly used to treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in Asian countries. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the therapeutic effect of Salvia miltiorrhiza on white matter injury in preterm infants. METHODS:Eighteen neonatal male Sprague-Dawley rats at 3-day gestational age were selected and randomized into normal group,white matter injury group,and Salvia miltiorrhiza group.Animal models of preterm white matter injury were established by permanent ligation of the right common carotid artery in the latter two groups.Rats in the Salvia miltiorrhiza group were given intraperitoneal injection of Salvia miltiorrhiza(5 mg/kg·d)for 7 consecutive days.Normal group and white matter injury group were given the same volume of PBS for intervention.On the 14th day after modeling,the rats were sacrificed.Brains were pathologically observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining under microscope,and the expression levels of myelin basic protein and CC1 in brain tissue were visualized using immunofluorescence.Furthermore,liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to analyze possible pathways for the action of Salvia miltiorrhiza. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the white matter injury group,the structure of the corpus callosum was irregular and the cells appeared swollen and necrotic.In addition,induction of white matter injury resulted in significantly reduced myelin formation,with irregular and loosely arranged nerve fibers and significantly decreased myelin sheaths.Interestingly,white matter injury rats treated with Salvia miltiorrhiza had reduced cellular swelling,reduced lesions,and increased myelin sheaths.The expression of myelin basic protein was closely related to myelin formation,and CC1 was a marker of myelin oligodendrocytes.Salvia miltiorrhiza significantly up-regulated the expressions of myelin basic protein and CC1 in white matter injury rats(P<0.000 1),indicating that Salvia miltiorrhiza alleviated white matter injury.Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis showed that the therapeutic effect of Salvia miltiorrhiza in the rat model of white matter injury was closely related to the regulation of complement and coagulation cascades.To conclude,Salvia miltiorrhiza may be a potential therapeutic agent for treating preterm white matter injury.

9.Cluster characteristics of physical activities among children inside and outside kindergartens and its relationship with athletic abilities
Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(10):1560-1563
Objective:
Based on physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) variables on weekdays and weekends, the study aims to cluster the physical activities inside and outside kindergartens and to explore the cluster characteristics of different children using physical fitness indicators, so as to provide new strategies and methods for early childhood education and health.
Methods:
From March to June 2019, 291 children aged 3-6 years from 6 kindergartens in Nanchang were recruited by a stratified cluster random sampling method. The ActiGraph GT3X-BT triaxial accelerometer was used to measure and analyze the PA and SB levels inside and outside the kindergarten. A twostep clustering algorithm model was employed for cluster analysis. Physical fitness were measured and evaluated according to the "National Physical Fitness Measurement Standard Manual (Preschool Section)". Differences in physical fitness among different clusters of children were compared, and the cluster characteristics of different children were analyzed.
Results:
The clustering algorithm model indicated that based on six indicators, including PA and SB inside the kindergarten on weekdays, and PA and SB outside the kindergarten on both weekdays and weekends, children could be divided into three categories:active inside (high PA, low SB inside), active outside (high PA outside), and inactive (low PA, high SB both inside and outside). The average silhouette coefficient of the model was 0.3, indicating good clustering results. Both the active inside and active outside children showed significantly higher PA inside on weekdays, PA outside on weekdays and weekends, daily low intensity physical activity (LPA) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) than the inactive children ( F=157.91, 80.79 , 95.86, 95.52, 124.74, P <0.05). After adjusting for gender and age, the physical fitness scores of both active outside ( 19.03 ±0.47) and active inside (19.11±0.40) were significantly higher than those of the inactive children (17.94±0.31). Additionally, active inside children (3.91±0.14) also showed significantly better performance in continuous double-leg jumps, compared to inactive children (3.45±0.11) ( P <0.05).
Conclusion
Children active inside and those active outside perform well in PA. Future research should focus on the proportion of structured and unstructured PA time to enhance the overall physical fitness of children.
10.Progress of the central nervous system myelin sheath development and related diseases in children
International Journal of Pediatrics 2023;50(8):544-548
The myelin sheath of the central nervous system(CNS)is a multilayer lipid membrane with oligodendrocyte membrane surrounding the axon.The development of myelin sheath in children follows the corresponding laws of time and space, and this process of myelination is considered to be related to children′s proper behavior and function.The myelin sheath development of CNS in childhood is a multi-step and extremely complex process, and the integrity of myelin sheath plays a crucial role in shaping CNS function.At present, it has been found that many neurological diseases in children, such as multiple sclerosis, transverse myelitis and pediatric optic neuritis are closely related to myelin sheath abnormality.Therefore, this paper reviews the progress of myelin sheath development and related diseases in childhood, so as to provide a basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment of myelin sheath abnormalities.
