Objective:To construct a multimodal induction educational system suitable for standardized pediatric residency training bases, and to evaluate its effectiveness, thereby obtaining suggestions for further improvement.Methods:Twelve residents newly enrolled in the 2023 standardized residency training program who commenced their first-year training were included as study subjects. The induction educational system comprised multiple modules: department introduction, training plan and assessment requirements, departmental workflow, routine diagnosis and treatment of major diseases, specialized skills/procedures, and lifestyle guidance. Training materials and methods were tailored to the characteristics of each training module. Checklists were used for supervision and review, and a competency checklist was designed to evaluate residents' mastery of the training at two weeks of induction, which would guarantee the effectiveness of the training. A questionnaire survey, powered by wjx.cn, was used to obtain the experience and suggestions from the residents and ward instructors on induction education, and content ranking analysis was performed on the survey results.Results:The survey revealed that, before starting a new rotation, residents' top three educational needs were departmental workflow, routine diagnosis and treatment of common diseases, and specialized skills/procedures. Residents preferred face-to-face lectures and demonstrations by attending physicians or senior residents; instructors suggested improving relevant materials (such as resident physician manuals and video materials) and face-to-face lectures. The residents considered the current induction educational system to be greatly beneficial in basic theories, treatment principles, basic skills, and auxiliary examination processes.Conclusions:Through the above research, a multimodal induction educational system suitable for the standardized pediatric residency training base in the Peking University First Hospital has been preliminarily established, and suggestions for further improvement have been obtained, which is conducive to further improving the system and residents' post competency.

Objective To establish a stable liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS)method for detecting gamma-aminobutyric acid(GABA)in plasma,and to evaluate the value of GABA detection in the diagnosis of sleep disorders.Methods GABA was detected using a UPLC Xevo TQs system.The method was pre-validated and its performance was verified to establish a reference range for healthy individuals.The difference in plasma GABA levels between apparently healthy individuals and patients with sleep disorders was compared.Results We employed deuterated compounds as isotopic internal standards and utilized an Amide chromatographic column for separation.The mobile phase was 0.050%formic acid in water and 90%acetonitrile in water containing 0.175%formic acid and 5 mmol/L ammonium acetate with gradient elution in the column temperature of 35℃.The linear range for the detection of GABA by LC-MS/MS was 0.05-10.00 μmol/L,with a lower limit of quantification of 0.02 μmol/L,the inter-day CV<3.00%and intra assay CV<4.00%,respectively,and the recovery rate was 101.06%-109.02%.The reference ranges for plasma GABA were established by analyzing 300 healthy controls stratified by age:18-34 years(0.08-0.15 μmol/L),35-49 years(0.10-0.20 μmol/L),and≥50 years(0.12-0.23 μmol/L).Then plasma GABA was used as a biomarker for auxiliary diagnosis of sleep disorders in analyzing 221 patients and 300 healthy controls,which revealed that AUC values were 0.510(P=0.850),0.686(P=0.002),and 0.890(P<0.001)in the groups of 18-34 years,35-49 years,and≥50 years,respectively,with optimal cut-off values of 0.09,0.10 and 0.11 μmol/L.Conclusion A reliable LC-MS/MS method for detecting GABA has been established,which can detect plasma GABA levels sensitively and accurately and can be used in assisting the clinical diagnosis of sleep disorders.

Objective:To explore the clinical features of death in children with acute encephalopathy associated with influenza and corona virus disease 2019（COVID-19）and to enhance pediatrician's understanding of this disease.Methods:Clinical data of children with influenza and COVID-19-related acute encephalopathy hospitalized in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of Children's Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University from September 2021 to July 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.The cases were divided into survival group and death group according to outcome.The general condition，clinical manifestations，auxiliary examination and treatment between the two groups were compared and analyzed.Results:A total of 41 pediatric patients were enrolled.In the death group,there were 17 cases,including 15 cases of acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE); among them,there were 7 male patients and 10 female patients,with a median age of 3.50 years.Eight patients were infected with influenza A virus,3 with influenza B virus,and 6 with SARS-CoV-2.The survival group comprised 24 cases,including 10 cases of ANE; among them,there were 16 male patients and 8 female patients,with a median age of 4.33 years.Fourteen patients were infected with influenza A virus,4 with influenza B virus,and 6 with SARS-CoV-2.None of the patients in the death group has received influenza and COVID-19 vaccines within 1 year before infection.Common symptoms were fever and disturbance of consciousness in the death group，eight cases had mild cough，seven cases had convulsions ≥three times，one case had two convulsions，nine cases had only one seizure，of which five cases were epileptic status.One case had delirium before convulsions.Seventeen cases began to fall into a coma (6.50±1.50) hours after their first onset of convulsion.Two patients had secondary pulmonary infection.Nine cases showed significantly elevated interleukin-6,while 17 cases had normal cerebrospinal fluid cell counts and 14 cases had elevated protein levels.All 17 cases underwent cranial CT scans,among which 13 showed symmetric necrosis of the bilateral thalami.All patients in the death group underwent glucocorticoid and intravenous immunoglobulin pulse therapy.Eleven patients received continuous renal replacement therapy,ten patients received intrathecal dexamethasone injection,and two patients were treated with tocilizumab.One patient underwent extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.Among the eight influenza patients,neuraminidase inhibitors were first administered 48 hours after the onset of fever.None of the six patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 received nirmatrelvir/ritonavir antiviral treatment.The causes of death in 17 patients included ANE(15 cases) and secondary infections(2 cases).Compared with the survival group,the incidence of brainstem involvement,shock,and low Glasgow coma scores (GCS ≤ 4) were significantly higher in the death group(15/17 vs.2/24， χ 2=26.18， P<0.001；16/17 vs.5/24， χ 2=21.39， P<0.001；14/17 vs.5/24， χ 2=15.15， P<0.001). Conclusion:Acute encephalopathy is primarily characterized by recurrent convulsions and disturbances of consciousness.Influenza and COVID-19 are the main causes.Cranial imaging is helpful for clinical diagnosis.Involvement of the brainstem,occurrence of shock,and GCS≤4 are associated with a higher fatality rate of ANE.

Objective To explore the effect of chrysin on intestinal flora in mice with alcoholic liver disease(ALD).Methods Mice were randomly assigned to normal control group,ALD model group,Silymarin group,chrysin low-dose group,chrysin high-dose group(25,50 mg·kg-1).The mice were fed with alcoholic liquid diet and a single dose of alcohol(5 g·kg-1)for eight weeks to establish the ALD model.After eight weeks of oral administration,each group's serum and plasma lipids and liver function indices were collected and detected using kits;then collected the liver and observed the pathological changes of the liver using HE staining;meanwhile,intestinal contents were collected and changes in mouse gut flora were analyzed by 16S rDNA sequencing.Results Compared with the ALD group,the level of aspartate transaminase(AST),alanine transaminase(ALT)and triacylglycerol(TG)of low-dose and high-dose chrysin groups were significantly reduced,and it can alleviate liver cell steatosis and inflammatory reactions caused by alcohol.16S rDNA results showed that the total number and types of intestinal flora in the ethanol group were significantly reduced,as well as a change in the dominant genus to Escherichia-Shigella and Akkermansia.Compared to the ALD model group,the Shannon index of the intestinal microbiota increased significantly in mice treated with low and high doses of chrysin.In addition,at the phylum and genus level,the abundance of the high-dose chrysin group increased significantly,resulting in an overall increase in the total number and amount of microbiota.The abundance of dominant bacterial groups,such as Oscillospirales,irmicutes,andAlloprevotella,was also significantly increased.Conclusion Chrysin may exert therapeutic effects on ALD by improving intestinal flora imbalance in ALD mice.

Objective:To investigate the incidence and disease spectrum characteristics of complications of vaginal delivery,and to provide a basis for protecting maternal and child safety and improving obstetric medical quality.Method:Retrospective analysis of obstetric case data from a tertiary hospital in Anhui Province from 2022 to 2024 was performed to identify cases of vaginal delivery complications using International Classification of Diseases 10th Revision codes.Results:A total of 2 644 vaginal deliveries were included,with a decreasing trend in complication rate from 40.9%in 2022 to 17.6%in 2024.Among them,obstetric laceration and postpartum hemorrhage were the main types of complications,with the incidence of obstetric laceration decreasing from 32.2%to 13.8%,and postpartum hemorrhage decreasing from 7.6%to 2.9%,and the changes in both were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Among obstetric lacerations,there were significant differences in the incidence of second-degree perineal lacerations and unspecified perineal lacerations across the years(P＜0.05).Conclusions:Although the incidence of complications in vaginal delivery has decreased,it still needs attention.This study proposes to strengthen the comprehensive prevention and control measures for obstetric lacerations,establish a full-chain management mechanism for postpartum hemorrhage,and implement a data-driven quality improvement strategy in obstetrics further to enhance the quality of obstetric medical care.

Objective To explore the effect of endoscopic ultrasonography(EUS)with different probes on the measurement of gastrointestinal submucosal tumor(SMT)diameter.Methods The clinical data of 356 patients(with a total of 372 lesions)initially diagnosed as SMT by EUS at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from January 2023 to June 2024 were analyzed retrospectively.The basic characteristics of the origin layers and pathological distribution of SMT were analyzed.The differences between the EUS-measured diameters and the actual diameters of SMT at different diameter ranges of lesions were compared.Taking the postoperative pathological diagnosis results as the gold standard,the effects of different clinicopathological features and probe types on the relative error in EUS-measured diameters of SMT were analyzed.Results Among the 372 gastrointestinal SMT lesions,lesions were more frequent in female patients,gastric lesions was the most common,and leiomyoma was the predominant pathological type.The accuracy of EUS in diagnosing SMT was 94.4%.A statistically significant difference was observed between the EUS-measured diameters and the actual diameters of SMT(P<0.05).There were significantly differences in various ranges of lesions between the EUS-measured diameters and the actual diameters(P<0.05).The gender,age,lesion location,and pathological type had no significant effect on the relative error of EUS-measured diameters(P>0.05);while probe types had a significant effect on the relative error of EUS-measured diameters(P<0.05).For lesions with an actual diameter of 2.0 to 3.9 cm,the relative error of SMT diameters measured by small-probe EUS was significantly greater than that by large-probe EUS(P<0.05).Conclusion Large-probe EUS exhibits a smaller relative error in measuring the diameter of SMT with a diameter of≥2.0 cm.Therefore,large-probe EUS is recommended for the examination of SMT with an estimated diameter exceeding 2.0 cm.
