Objective: To investigate the correlation of emotional and behavioral problems with sleep problems in children with cerebral palsy, so as to provide reference for intervention of emotional and behavioral problems in children. Methods: A cross sectional survey was conducted, and 402 children aged 6-18 with cerebral palsy who were adopted by social welfare institutions in Guangzhou City from January 2023 to January 2024 were selected to investigate their full time nurses. The Parents Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) was used to assess the emotional and behavioral problems of children with cerebral palsy, and the Children s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) was used to assess sleep problems. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the sleep problem of children with cerebral palsy and the emotional and behavioral problems. Results: The prevalence of emotional and behavioral difficulties among children with cerebral palsy was 15.7%. The median sleep problem score of children with emotional and behavioral problems [37.0(36.0, 41.0)] was significantly higher than that of children without emotional and behavioral [35.0(34.0, 36.0)] ( Z =-5.74, P <0.01). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that after adjusting covariables such as age, gender, cerebral palsy classification, language retardation, visual impairment and epilepsy, the total sleep problem score of children with cerebral palsy was positively correlated with the total difficulty score ( β= 0.28, 95%CI =0.17-0.34, P <0.05). Conclusions Sleep problems in children with cerebral palsy are associated with emotional and behavioral difficulties. Understanding of the management of sleep problems in children with cerebral palsy should be enhanced to reduce the incidence of emotional and behavioral problems in children with cerebral palsy.

AIM:To analyze differential proteins associated with the pathogenesis of dry eye(DE)using bioinformatics methods, in order to reveal their potential molecular mechanisms.METHODS: Articles published in PubMed and EMBASE databases from the inception of the database to August 31, 2023, that used proteomic methods to detect protein expression in clinical samples of dry eye were searched. Differential proteins were selected and further analyzed using the STRING database and Cytoscape software for hub gene screening and module analysis. Protein-protein interaction(PPI)analysis, gene ontology(GO)functional annotation, and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG)pathway enrichment analysis were performed.RESULTS: A total of 21 articles were included, identifying 74 differentially expressed proteins. The most frequently occurring differential proteins were calgranulin A(SA1008), lipocalin-1(LCN1), lysozyme C(LYZ), mammaglobin-B(SCGB2A1), proline-rich protein 4(PRR4), transferrin(TF), and calgranulinB(S100A9). The top 10 hub genes were serum albumin(ALB), tumor necrosis factor(TNF), interleukin 6(IL6), IL1B, IL8, matrix metalloproteinase 9(MMP9), alpha-1-antitrypsin(SERPINA1), IL10, complement component 3(C3), and lactotransferrin(LTF). Module analysis suggested MMP9 and PRR4 as seed genes. KEGG analysis showed that differential proteins were mainly enriched in the IL17 signaling pathway(61.9%).CONCLUSION: The results reveal potential molecular targets and pathways for DE and confirm the association between the pathogenesis of DE and inflammation. Further in-depth research is needed to confirm the significance of these biomarkers in clinical practice.

Objective:To analyze the status quo and influencing factors of post-traumatic growth of parents of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) .Methods:The convenient sampling method was used to select parents of children with T1DM who were admitted to the diabetes care consultation clinic of Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University from March 2022 to March 2023 as the research objects. The parents of children were investigated by general information questionnaire, Posttramnatic Growth Inventory, Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire and Perceived Social Support Scale.Results:A total of 200 questionnaires were sent out in this study, and 187 were effectively collected, with an effective recovery rate of 93.5% (187/200). The total score of Posttramnatic Growth Inventory for parents of T1DM children was (60.28±18.37). The positive coping score in Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire was (22.40±6.94) and the negative coping score was (8.94±4.58). The total score of Perceived Social Support Scale was (57.39±14.57). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that HbA1c, monthly family income, educational level, positive coping strategies and perceived social support were the influencing factors for the post-traumatic growth of parents of T1DM children, explaining 33.8% of the variation in post-traumatic growth of parents of T1DM children.Conclusions:The post-traumatic growth of parents of T1DM children is at a moderate level. Medical staff should pay more attention to parents of children with poor blood sugar control, low educational level and low monthly family income, guide them from the perspective of positive psychology, encourage parents to adopt positive and effective coping strategies and emphasize the importance of social support, so as to improve the level of post-traumatic growth of parents of children with T1DM.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the levels of non-enzymatic antioxidants among patients with depression at different age stages.Methods One hundred thirty five patients with depression(including 63 elderly patients aged 60 years and older,and 72 young and middle-aged patients under 60 years old)and 98 healthy controls(including 46 elderly controls aged 60 years and older,and 52 young and middle-aged controls aged under 60 years old)were enrolled.Serum levels of non-enzymatic antioxidants(uric acid,total bilirubin,albumin)were assessed.Results Multiple analysis of variance showed the main effects of depression factors on uric acid and total bilirubin were significant(P<0.05).Uric acid[(314.30±85.18)μmol/L vs.(339.68±85.27)μmol/L],total bilirubin[(12.81±6.16)μmol/L vs.(15.09±5.97)μmol/L]levels were lower in patients with depression than in controls(P<0.05).There was an interactive effect between age and depression factors on the levels of albumin(P<0.001),and the levels of albumin[(41.05±3.97)g/L vs.(46.01±4.49)g/L]were lower in group of the elderly patients with depression than those in group of the young and middle-aged patients with depression(P<0.01).Conclusion Patients with depression have abnormalities in levels of non-enzymatic antioxidants which are more severe in elderly patients.

The effect of aspirin eugenol ester(AEE)on the metabolism of rats was investigated to provide theoretical references for the clinical rational use of the drug.Firstly,the appropriate con-centration of AEE suspension was prepared.Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups:the normal group,the AEE low-dose group(18 mg/kg),and the AEE high-dose group(72 mg/kg).The rats in the dosing group were dosed once daily,and the Wistar rats in the normal group were dosed once daily with an equal volume of 0.5％sodium carboxymethylcellulose solution.The feces and urine were collected after 7 days of continuous gavage,and the feces and urine were ana-lyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spec-trometry(UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS)for non-targeted metabolomics and Metabo Analyst 5.0 was used for metabolic pathway enrichment.The results showed that the dose of AEE selected in this experiment was not toxic to the growth of rats.The results of the metabolomics study found that 10 and 8 differential metabolites were identified in rat feces and urine,respectively,involving meta-bolic pathways such as phenylalanine,tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis,phenylalanine metabo-lism,steroid hormone biosynthesis,biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids,aminosugar and nucleo-tide sugar metabolism,fatty acid biosynthesis,and β-alanine metabolism.AEE had no significant effect on the body weight of rats(P＞0.05),but AEE could affect the metabolism of rat organ-ism.Fecal metabolites were mainly involved in metabolic pathways including unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis,tyrosine metabolism,fatty acid biosynthesis,and steroid hormone biosynthesis;urina-ry metabolites were mainly involved in metabolic pathways including purine metabolism,fatty acid biosynthesis,arginine,and proline metabolism.Therefore,the metabolic effects of AEE on rats are mainly closely related to the regulation of lipid metabolism,amino acid metabolism,and energy metabolism.The results of this experiment can provide some references for the efficacy and clinical application of AEE in animals.

Objective:To evaluate the role of autophagy in hydrogen-rich solution-induced reduction of remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia in rats.Methods:Thirty-two clean-grade healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 2-3 months, weighing 240-260 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=8 each) by a random number table method: incisional pain group (group I), remifentanil+ incisional pain group (group RI), hydrogen-rich solution+ remifentanil+ incisional pain group (group HRI), and hydrogen-rich solution + autophagy inhibitor+ remifentanil+ incisional pain group (MHRI group). The tail vein was catheterized, the equal volume of normal saline was intravenously infused for 60 min while the incisional pain model was developed in group I, and remifentanil was intravenously infused at a rate of 1 μg·kg -1·min -1 for 60 min while the incisional pain model was developed in RI, HRI and MHRI groups, hydrogen-rich solution 10 ml/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 10 min before preparing the model in group HRI, and 3-MA 15 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 1 h before preparing the model in MHRI group, and the other treatments were similar to those previously described in group HRI. The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal paw withdrawal latency (TWL) were determined at 24 h before and 2, 6, 24 and 48 h after the end of infusion. The rats were sacrificed under anesthesia after the behavioral testing, and the lumbar enlargement segment of the spinal cord was removed for determination of the expression of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3Ⅱ (LC3Ⅱ), Beclin-1 and P62 by Western blot. Results:Compared with the baseline at T 0, the MWT was significantly decreased and TWL was shortened at T 1-4 in the four groups ( P<0.05). Compared with group I, the MWT was significantly decreased and TWL was shortened at T 1-4, the expression of LC3 II and Beclin-1 was up-regulated, and the expression of P62 was down-regulated in group RI and group HRI ( P<0.05). Compared with group RI, the MWT was significantly increased and TWL was prolonged at T 1-4 in group HRI and group MHRI, the expression of LC3 II and Beclin-1 was significantly up-regulated, and the expression of P62 was down-regulated in group HRI, and the expression of LC3 II and Beclin-1 was significantly down-regulated, and the expression of P62 was up-regulated in group MHRI ( P<0.05). Compared with group HRI, the MWT was significantly decreased and TWL was shortened at T 1-4, the expression of LC3 II and Beclin-1 was down-regulated, and the expression of P62 was up-regulated in group MHRI ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The mechanism by which hydrogen-rich solution alleviates hyperalgesia may be related to enhancing the level of autophagy in the spinal cord of rats with incisional pain induced by remifentanil.

Objective:To analyze the effect of comprehensive rehabilitation intervention on the physical functioning of frail elderly persons.Methods:A total of 318 frail elderly persons were randomly divided into a control group ( n=164) and an observation group ( n=154) to test different interventions. Propensity score matching was used to balance the baseline information between the two groups 1∶1. A total of 200 cases were successfully matched, with 100 cases in each group. Both groups received drug treatment and routine nursing, while the observation group was additionally provided with comprehensive rehabilitation. Before and after 4 weeks of the treatment, both groups were evaluated using visual analogue scale (VAS) scoring for their perception of pain intensity, hand grip strength, gait speed, 6-minute walking distance (6MWD), 5 sit-up time, and the timed up and go test (TUGT). Results:There were no significant differences between the groups in any of the measurements before the experiment. Afterward, all of the outcome measures except gait speed were significantly better among the experimental group than among the controls, on average.Conclusions:Comprehensive rehabilitation can relieve pain, improve the walking, handgrip strength and exercise endurance of the frail elderly.

Uremic pruritus (UP) is a common complication in patients with end-stage renal disease, which seriously reduces the quality of life of patients. Compared with the internal treatment of TCM, the external treatment of TCM for UP is simpler and more effective, and can avoid the first pass effect caused by oral drugs and may cause liver and kidney damage. The treatment methods mainly include external washing of TCM, medicated bath, fumigation, wet compress, enema, scraping, acupuncture, auricular point sticking, acupoint application, acupoint iontophoresis, autologous blood acupoint injection and so on. At present, most studies are based on the conventional treatment of Western medicine, and the addition of external treatment of TCM can improve the efficacy, and has certain advantages in improving itching symptoms, inflammatory indicators, sleep quality, anxiety and depression. Some studies have selected parathyroid hormone, blood phosphorus, CRP, IL-6, histamine, SCr, BUN, β2-microglobulin and other indicators to evaluate the efficacy. The results suggest that external treatment of TCM can improve the micro-inflammatory state of patients and protect renal function, but further mechanism research is needed. The existing research has the following problems: the clinical efficacy evaluation scale is not uniform, and it is difficult to compare and summarize horizontally; the relief of pruritus symptoms is based on the scale evaluation, which is subjective; the course of treatment is short, and the long-term efficacy and safety can not be evaluated; some studies do not specify the patients' syndrome type, which is difficult to reflect the advantages of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment, and needed to be improved in the future.

Objective: To investigate the association between cysteine level and lumbar spine (LS) bone mineral density (BMD) among children with cerebral palsy, so as to provide a basis for bone health enhancement among children with cerebral palsy. Methods: A total of 149 children aged 10-18 with cerebral palsy who were admitted to the G city Social Welfare Institute (Luogang District) from January 2023 to January 2024. Basic demographic characteristics of children with cerebral palsy were extracted from medical records system. Cysteine levels were measured using the enzyme cycling method. LS BMD of the children was determined by specialized rehabilitation physicians using dual energy X ray absorptiometry, and the corrected BMD Z -scores for LS were calculated. Non restrictive cubic splines and segmented multiple linear regression were employed to analyze the correlation between cysteine levels and age specific height Z -scores (HAZ scores) for LS BMD in children with cerebral palsy. Results: The median cysteine concentration in children with cerebral palsy was 9.13(8.42, 10.30)μmol/L, with significantly higher levels in spastic type children [9.28(8.53，10.49)μmol/L] compared to non spastic types [8.64(7.89，9.66)μmol/L]( Z=-2.46，P <0.05). The median LS BMD HAZ score was -1.07( -2.10 , -0.16), and the detection rate of decreased bone mass was 29.5%. There was an "L" shaped association between serum homocysteine concentration and LS BMD HAZ score in children with cerebral palsy. When serum homocysteine concentration was below 8.7 μmol/L, a significant negative correlation was observed between LS BMD HAZ score and serum homocysteine concentration ( B=-0.32, 95%CI =-1.06 to -0.15, P <0.05). Conclusions The significant negative correlation between cysteine levels and LS BMD in children with cerebral palsy at lower cysteine concentrations, which suggests a potentially higher sensitivity to the influence of homocysteine than healthy children and adolescents, warranting attention even if not reaching the standard of hyperhomocysteinemia.
