Objective: To explore the relationship between serum homocysteine (Hcy), interleukin-5 (IL-5), folate and core symptoms in children with autism spectrum disorders, so as to provide potential biomarkers for early diagnosis and intervention of diseases. Methods: A total of 106 children with autism spectrum disorders and 106 healthy children with matched sex and age in Lu an People s Hospital were enrolled as autism group and healthy group between May 2020 to December 2023. On the day of admission, levels of serum Hcy, IL-5 and folate were detected. The core symptoms in autism group were evaluated by Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC), Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence-fourth edition(WPPSI-IV), Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) and Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS). The levels of serum Hcy, IL-5 and folate in the two groups were compared by t- test. The relationship between serum Hcy, IL-5, folate and core symptoms in children with autism spectrum disorders was determined by Pearson correlation analysis. Results: The levels of serum Hcy and IL-5 in autism group were (7.48±0.32) μmol/L and (345.77±32.51) pg/mL, higher than those in healthy group [(6.11±0.54) μmol/L, (274.04±25.17) pg/mL], while folate level was lower than that in healthy group [(15.24±3.47) ng/mL, (22.51±4.69) ng/mL], the differences were statistically significant ( t =22.47, 17.96, 12.83, all P < 0.05 ). In autism group, levels of serum Hcy and IL-5 were positively correlated with scores of ABC, CARS and SRS ( r =0.29, 0.53 , 0.54; 0.45, 0.41, 0.50), while negatively correlated with WPPSI-IV score ( r =-0.28, -0.26)(all P <0.05). The folate level was negatively correlated with scores of ABC, CARS and SRS ( r =-0.55, -0.40, -0.25), while positively correlated with WPPSI-IV score ( r =0.41) (all P <0.05). Conclusion Children with ASD show elevated serum Hcy and IL-5 alongside decreased folate,and three markers correlate with core symptoms and intellectual level.

Objective: To investigate the positive rate of drug-induced antibodies produced by the clinical application of β-lactam antibiotics, and analyze the differences in the detection methods and related influencing factors. Methods: A total of 350 adult inpatients who developed anemia after using β-lactam antibiotics for 3 days or more in Inner Mongolia People's hospital were selected as the experimental group, and 240 adult inpatients treated with β-lactam antibiotics for 3 days or more who did not develop anemia as the control group. The drug-induced antibody tests, direct antiglobulin tests, and unexpected antibody screening were performed on both groups, and the influencing factors of drug-induced antibodies were analyzed. Results: The numbers of positive cases of drug-induced antibody detected by the drug-coated red blood cell method in the experimental group and the control group were 12(12/350, 3.43%) and 2(2/240, 0.83%) respectively, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). No drug-induced antibodies were detected in either group using the drug addition method. In the experimental group, the red blood cell method detected β-lactam drug-induced antibodies in 12 cases (12/350, 3.43%), while the drug added method detected 0 cases (0/350, 0.00%), with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). In the control group, the detection rates of two methods showed no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). In the experimental group, 7 cases of β-lactam antibodies were detected in the cephalosporin group (7/293, 2.40%) and 5 cases in the non-cephalosporin group (5/58, 8.62%), with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the second-generation and third-generation cephalosporin drugs (P>0.05). When the experimental group was stratified according to the history of blood transfusion and the blood type of patients, no statistically significant differences were observed between subgroups (P>0.05). Conclusion: Anemia may be related to the production of drug-induced antibodies followingβ-lactam antibiotics treatment. Therefore, improving the clinical awareness of drug-induced antibodies to β-lactam antibiotics is of great significance to clarify the causes of anemia and reduce unnecessary blood transfusions.

Background The Qingcaosha Reservoir is facing issues of algal blooms and eutrophication, and the resulting increase in the level of chlorination disinfection by-products in the water has been a major concern. Objective To evaluate the impact of "Algae Monitoring and Control Program in Qingcaosha Reservoir" (hereinafter referred to as the program) on the control of trihalomethanes (THMs) in conventional finished water. Methods From 2011 to 2019, water samples were collected from the Lujiazui Water Plant once per season, one sample each time, and the concentrations of four THMs (trichloromethane, dichlorobromomethane, monochlorodibromomethane, and tribromomethane) were measured in the samples. Using 2014 when the program was implemented as a cut-off point, the entire study period was divided into two phases: pre-implementation (2011–2013) and post-implementation(2014–2019). Segmented linear regression with interrupted time series analysis was applied to assess the concentrations and trends of THMs in the finished water before and after the program launch. Results The concentration of total THMs in finished water increased by 1.561 µg·L⁻¹ (P=0.010) for each season of time extension before launching the program. The change in the concentration of total THMs in finished water was not statistically significant after the program launch, but the THMs concentration showed a decreasing trend as the slope was −0.626 (P=0.001). From 2017 until the end of 2019, the average concentration of THMs in finished water of Lujiazui Water Plant dropped to 10 μg·L⁻¹ or less. Conclusions The algae and eutrophication control measures in Qingcaosha Reservoir have achieved good results, controlling THMs in finished water at a low level, and the trend of THMs has changed from a yearly increase pattern before the program to a yearly decrease pattern after the program.

Fluid resuscitation after burns is very crucial to the survival and prognosis of children. Although the principles of fluid resuscitation in children are similar to those in adults, the unique physiological needs of children must be fully considered to prevent insufficient or excessive fluid resuscitation. In clinical practice, due to the popularization of various monitoring techniques, insufficient fluid resuscitation can be observed in time, but excessive fluid resuscitation is often overlooked. Excessive fluid resuscitation can lead to fluid extravasation, increasing the probability of pediatric burn complications and poor prognosis. This review focuses on the unique pathophysiological characteristics of children with burns and how to avoid excessive fluid resuscitation in order to provide reference for rational fluid rehydration.

【Objective】 To explore a new treatment of primary bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia (PBMAH) and its efficacy. 【Methods】 Clinical data of 20 PBMAH patients treated in our hospital during Mar.2010 and Apr.2021 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent laparoscopic subcutaneous displacement of vascularized adrenal. The clinical symptoms, plasma free cortisol, adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH), and 24 h urinary free cortisol were regularly monitored after surgery. 【Results】 Of all 20 patients, 19 were followed up for 18 to 120 months (median 60 months). Three months after surgery, reexamination showed 1 patient had decreased plasma free cortisol and increased ACTH, but had no symptoms of low corticosteroids. After another 3 months, the plasma free cortisol and ACTH returned to normal. After 4 to 48 months, the parameters recovered in all patients and the clinical symptoms disappeared. 【Conclusion】 Laparoscopic vascularized adrenal displacement is a new and effective method for the treatment of PBMAH. It can alleviate the Cushing syndrome with no obvious adverse reactions.

Purpose To analyze the morphological charac-teristics of papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC)patients with NTRK gene fusion in order to provide more important morpholog-ic evidences for molecular detection.Methods A retrospective collection of 790 cases PTC was conducted.Then the patients with NTRK gene fusion were selected.The histopathological fea-tures of PTC patients with NTRK gene fusion were compared with those of classical PTC.Results Nine cases(1.1%)of NTRK fusion positive PTC were detected,including 2 cases of NTRK1 and 7 cases of NTRK3 gene fusion.The main his-topathological features were follicular subtypes,with tumors ex-hibiting multinodular infiltration or"jumping"infiltration.The cytoplasm was associated with hyaline change.The cell morphol-ogy was slight irregularity.Conclusion The incidence of NTRK fusion is low in PTC and it tends to occur in the young group.Follicular subtype is the main characteristic histopatholo-gy,with mild tumor cells.But the ability of the invasion and metastasis is strong.Therefore,NGS detection should be per-formed for early intervention and prolonging the survival of PTC patients.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of the blended teaching model for diagnostic radiology based on BOPPPS classroom reconstruction, i.e., bridge-in, objective, pre-assessment, participatory-learning, post-assessment, and summary.Methods:The undergraduate students in the classes of 2017 and 2018 in Department of Medical Imaging were selected as research subjects. The students in the class of 2018 were established as observation group and received the innovative blended teaching model based on BOPPPS classroom reconstruction, and those in the class of 2017 were established as control group and received teaching with traditional theoretical lectures. At the end of the course, 80 students were randomly selected from the observation group and the control group for performance analysis and teaching evaluation. SPSS 26.0 was used to perform the t-test. Results:The observation group had a total score of (82.66±6.18), while the control group had a total score of (76.47±5.42), and compared with the control group, the observation group had significantly higher scores of homework score, course discussion, and final examination ( P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the observation group had significantly higher scores of "understanding of the basic knowledge of imaging", "improvement of comprehensive diagnostic thinking ability", "stimulating the interest in learning and expanding horizons", and "cultivating clinical competence" in the self-evaluation survey ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The blended teaching model based on BOPPPS classroom reconstruction is suitable for the teaching of radiology diagnostics. It not only enriches teaching means and methods and enhances classroom participation and interaction, but also expands teaching space and teaching content.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious health problem worldwide, whereas there is still no efficient cure. The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in maintaining human health and disease resistance, and multiple studies have confirmed that the gut microbiota is closely related to the occurrence and development of CKD. Starting from the "gut-kidney axis" theory, this article provides a systematic review of the changes in gut microbiota composition and function in patients with CKD, such as a decrease in the abundance of butyrate-producing bacteria Roseburia and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii. Besides that, the article explores the mechanisms by which the gut microbiota affects CKD progression, such as inflammation and immunity, and also describes the application methods of using the gut microbiota as a therapeutic target for CKD, such as fecal microbiota transplantation, microecologics, and dietary therapy, in order to provide microbial- based targets for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of CKD.
