Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of children hospitalized with acute lower respiratory tract infections (ALRTI) caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in Kunming area in 2023.Methods:The clinical data of children with RSV-ALRTI admitted to Kunming Children's Hospital from January to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the severity of the disease and whether the children developed severe pneumonia,they were divided into common group and severe group.The general data,clinical manifestations,laboratory indexes,imaging results,treatment and outcomes of the children between the two groups were compared.Multinomial Logistic regression analysis was used to study the risk factors for severe RSV-ALRTI.Results:A total of 696 children with RSV-ALRTI were included,including 432 males (62.1%) and 264 females (37.9%),with a median age of 1.30 (0.40,3.38) years.The onset of RSV-ALRTI occured throughout the year,with a peak incidence in May to August (60.6%).One hundred and seventy-one of 696 samples were tested RSV gene sequence,and two genotypes of RSV A-ON1(60.8%) and RSV B-BA9(39.2%) were detected.Among the 696 children,480 (69.0%) were in the common group and 216 (31.0%) were in the severe group.The age of the children in the severe group was lower than that of the common group,and the proportions of age <1 year,preterm birth,congenital diseases (congenital anomalies of airway development,congenital heart disease),combined Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections,and combined bacterial infections were higher than those of the common group ( P<0.05).There was no statistically significant differences in fever and cough symptoms between the two groups ( P>0.05),but the proportions of children in the severe group with wheezing,shortness of breath,dyspnea,vomiting,and diarrhea were significantly higher than those in the common group ( P<0.05),and the proportions of moist rales and wheezing heard by lung auscultation were significantly higher than those in the common group ( P<0.05).The levels of leukocytes,neutrophils,neutrophil percentage,platelets,procalcitonin,lactate dehydrogenase,alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase,creatine kinase isoenzyme,and ferritin in the severe group were higher than those in the common group,while the levels of hemoglobin,lymphocyte percentage,albumin,creatinine,IgG,IgM,IgA,interleukin 6,D-dimer,and fibrin were lower than those in the common group ( P<0.05).The proportions of pulmonary consolidation and pleural effusion in the severe group were higher than those in the common group,and the severe group was more likely to have bilateral pulmonary consolidation ( P<0.05).Both groups of children were given interferon aerosol inhalation for antiviral treatment,and actively symptomatic and supportive treatment.One case in the severe group died during hospitalization,and the remaining 695 cases were cured and discharged.The proportions of children in the severe group using antibiotics,dual antibiotics,intravenous hormones,intravenous immunoglobulin,complications,transfer to PICU,use of invasive mechanical ventilation,length of hospital stay,and treatment costs were significantly higher than those in the common group ( P<0.001).Multinomial Logistic regression analysis showed that low age ( OR=0.878,95% CI 0.800~0.963, P=0.006),congenital diseases (congenital anomalies of airway development,congenital heart disease) ( OR=2.892,95% CI 1.977~4.233, P<0.001),and co-infection with bacteria ( OR=1.846,95% CI 1.268~2.686, P=0.001) were risk factors for the development of severe pneumonia in RSV-infected children. Conclusions:In 2023,RSV-ALRTI in children in Kunming area had an incidence throughout the year,and the peak age group of incidence was predominantly <1 year old,and the main genotype of infection was RSV A-ON1.Children with RSV-ALRTI who are young,suffering from congenital diseases (congenital anomalies of airway development,congenital heart disease) and complicated with bacterial infection are more likely to develop into severe diseases,and should be paid close attention and active intervention to reduce the incidence of critical illness.

Objective:To explore the changes of dynamic cerebral autoregulation ability in pilots exposed to acute positive acceleration(+ Gz) by transcranial Doppler combined with beat-to-beat blood pressure.Methods:A total of 26 pilots enrolled in the + 8Gz manned centrifuge trial at the Air Force Medical Center, Air Force Medical University from June to October 2022 were prospectively included. Blood pressure and heart rate were monitored in the resting state before the trial and within 5 min after centrifugation. Transcranial Doppler combined with noninvasive continuous beat-to-beat blood pressure monitor were used to detect bilateral middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity and beat-to-beat pulse pressure respectively. The transfer function analysis was applied to derive the parameters of cerebral blood flow autoregulation in each frequency band from 0.02 to 0.50 Hz, and the phase, gain and coherence were calculated. The above parameters were compared between resting state and after acute + 8Gz positive acceleration exposure.Results:Compared with the resting state, in all of the 26 pilots after acute + 8Gz positive acceleration exposure, the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate increased significantly ( P<0.001), the phase significantly increased and the gain significantly decreased in the ultra-low frequency band (0.02-0.07 Hz) ( P<0.05); whereas there were no statistical differences of gain and phase in the low frequency band (0.07-0.20 Hz) and the high frequency band (0.20-0.50 Hz) (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Transcranial Doppler combined with beat-to-beat pulse pressure can be used for the assessment of changes in immediate dynamic cerebral autoregulation after acute + Gz exposure, and transfer function analysis of ultra-low frequency band parameters is suitable for this type of evaluation.

To improve the standard of quality control of tazobactam and its preparations in China, national reference standard of tazobactam impurity A was developed. After tazobactam impurity A was synthesized, its structure was validated by infrared (IR), mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and its content uniformity and short-term stability were measured and investigated. Then, water content and residue on ignition of impurity A were determined, and its purity was determined using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with 10 mmol/L ammonium acetate solution-acetonitrile (98∶2) as the mobile phase. Mass balance method was used to determine the content of the first batch of tazobactam impurity A national standard substance. Meanwhile, nuclear magnetic quantitative method was used to calculate the content, which was mutually verified with the mass balance method. The developed reference material of tazobactam impurity A is consistent with the maximum degradation impurity in tazobactam system applicability solution and the reference material of tazobactam related substance A contained in USP41. Within the 95% confidence range, the ratio of inter- and intra-bottle variance of impurity A after separation was 0.61 (< F0.05(11,12)), proving that the uniformity was satisfying. The contents of organic impurity, water content and inorganic impurity in impurity A were 0.90%, 1.24% and 0.25%, respectively. The content of impurity A was determined to be 97.6% by mass balance method, which was basically consistent with the result of nuclear magnetic quantitative method (97.1%). Under the condition of 25 °C, the area normalized purity of impurity A was 99.1% at 0, 3, 5 and 10 days, proving that the sample was stable at room temperature for 10 days. Finally the first batch of national standard substance of tazobactam impurity A was established successfully.

Objective:To explore the effects of Group Prenatal Care (GPC) model on the fear of childbirth and pregnancy outcome of primiparas.Methods:This study was a quasi-experiment study. Totally 60 primiparas with fear of childbirth who established medical records in the Department of Obstetrics of a Class Ⅲ Grade A hospital in Hunan Province between December 2019 and April 2020 were selected by convenient sampling and divided into the intervention group and control group, with 30 cases in each group. Primiparas in the control group received routine care, while primiparas in intervention group received the central group-based pregnancy care model. The Childbirth Attitudes Questionnaire and pregnancy outcome evaluation were used to evaluate the effects in the two groups before and after intervention. SPSS 22.0 was used for data analysis.Results:After 1 month of intervention and at the end of the intervention, the total scores of fear of childbirth in the intervention group were (24.93±3.27) and (22.93±2.29) , which were lower than (35.30±8.58) and (34.47±8.70) in the control group, respectively. Repeated measurement variance analysis showed that there were temporal, grouping and interaction effects in the total scores of the two groups, and the differences were statistically significant ( Ftime=36.117, Fgroup=15.990, Finteraction=26.802; P<0.05) . The natural delivery rate in the intervention group was 86.7% (26/30) , which was higher than 63.3% (19/30) in the control group; the perineal injury rate in the intervention group was 16.7% (5/30) , which was lower than 43.3% (13/30) in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (χ 2=4.356, 5.079; P<0.05) . There was no statistically significant difference in 2 h postpartum blood loss of primiparas and 1min Apgar score of newborns between the two groups of primipara ( P>0.05) . Conclusions:GPC model in primiparas with fear of childbirth can help to relieve the fear of childbirth in primiparas, and improve their negative pregnancy outcome, which is of significance for clinical practice.
