ObjectiveTo delineate imaging findings using an imaging platform and investigate the correlation between MRI characteristics of spinal cord atrophy and clinical diagnosis in children with spinal cord injury (SCI). MethodsImaging data of 150 children with SCI admitted to Beijing Bo'ai Hospital, China Rehabilitation Research Center, from January, 2002 to March, 2024 were collected and imported into the imaging platform. The anteroposterior and transverse diameters of the middle part of the spinal cord at the cross-section with the most severe atrophy were measured, and the relevant indicators of the previous normal spinal cord segment were measured as controls; the radiomic features were extracted. Clinical data of the children including gender, age, cause of injury, sensory level, motor level, spinal cord injury level, injury severity and disease course were collected. ResultsSpinal cord atrophy was identified in 81 cases (54%), among which 78 cases (96%) were American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS) grade A and 3 cases (4%) were AIS grade C. The upper boundary of the spinal cord atrophy site strongly correlated with the injury level, motor level and sensory level (r > 0.8, P < 0.001). ConclusionMore than half of children with SCI may develop secondary spinal cord atrophy, the vast majority of whom suffer from complete spinal cord injury; the upper boundary of spinal cord atrophy is correlated with the injury level.

ObjectiveTo construct an actor-network for integrating physical activity into rehabilitation services based on the World Health Organization Rehabilitation in Health Service System framework and actor-network theory (ANT). MethodsContent analysis was employed using the six building blocks of health service systems as the theoretical framework. Actors related to rehabilitation services were extracted and categorized into a rehabilitation actor pool, while a physical activity actor pool was formed based on four major physical activity scenarios. Actors from both pools were integrated, deduplicated and classified to form a final list of integrated actors. Using ANT, the construction process of the actor network integrating physical activity into rehabilitation was analyzed through the four stages of translation: problematization, interessment, enrollment and mobilization. ResultsA dynamic integration network was constructed, comprising human actors (patients, rehabilitation professionals, researchers, sports coaches, government departments, medical institutions, community organizations and industry media, etc.) and non-human actors (assistive devices, sports infrastructure, smart equipment, information systems, online exercise guidance systems, laws and regulations, strategic documents, and exercise prescriptions, etc.). The study identified maximizing rehabilitation outcomes as the mandatory passage point and elaborated on the critical role of government departments as focal actors in coordinating various stakeholders. ConclusionThe integration of physical activity into rehabilitation services is a dynamic network constructed by diverse actors through a process of translation. ANT provides an operational theoretical framework for cross-departmental governance of rehabilitation policies in China, promotes the spatial expansion of the rehabilitation field, and drives its transformation toward a networked and ecological system. The government needs to play a leading role in facilitating role reconstruction and synergy among heterogeneous actors in both the sports and rehabilitation sectors through mechanism design, to create a bidirectional empowerment mechanism that fosters mutual progress and ensures the sustainable development of integrated services.

Objective:To evaluate the long-term clinical efficacy and the influence on anal function of surgery combined with ustekinumab (UST) in active Crohn's disease (CD) patients with perianal fistula.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Clinical data of active CD patients with perianal fistula undergoing surgery combined with UST at Longhua Hospital of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from August 2020 to December 2022 were collected. The primary endpoints were clinical healing rate, Wexner score, and anorectal manometry values at week 52 of treatment. Secondary endpoints included the Crohn's disease activity index (CDAI), perianal Crohn's disease activity index (PDAI), laboratory indicators [C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), fecal calprotectin (FC) ], endoscopic remission rate, Van Assche score, and radiographic healing rate at week 52 of treatment.Results:A total of 28 patients were included, with 22 males (78.6%) and 6 females (21.4%) ; age (25.2 ± 7.7) (16.0-52.0) years. There was 1 patient (3.6%) of simple anal fistula. There were 27 patients (96.4%) of complex anal fistulas, including 12 of high intersphincteric type, 15 of high transsphincteric type, in which 15 with branched tracts (or ≥2 fistula tracts). The pre-treatment CDAI was 187.0 (156.0, 245.0), and the PDAI was 10.0 (9.0, 12.0). Among the 28 patients, 23 (82.1%) underwent fistulotomy, 1 (3.6%) underwent transanal opening of intersphincteric space (TROPIS), and 4 (14.3%) underwent video-assisted anal fistula treatment (VAAFT) combined with fistula-tract laser closure (FiLaC). All the patients received UST treatment postoperatively, without concurrent use of immunosuppressants or corticosteroid therapy. At week 52 of treatment, 28 (100%) patients achieved clinical healing. Compared to pre-treatment, Wexner score of patients at week 52 of treatment was significantly lower [0 (0, 0) vs. 1.0 (0, 3.0), P < 0.001], maximum anal sphincter pressure increased [ (137.6±40.9) mmHg vs. (105.1±29.2) mmHg, P < 0.001], maximum anal sphincter contraction time extended [9.0 (5.0, 15.0) s vs. 4.0 (2.0, 6.0) s, P < 0.001], and there was no significant decrease in anal resting pressure ( P > 0.05). Compared to pre-treatment, CDAI, PDAI, Van Assche scores, and simple endoscopic score for Crohn's disease (SES-CD) of patients at week 52 of treatment all significantly decreased (all P < 0.001), and CRP, ESR, and FC all decreased (all P < 0.05), with statistically significant differences. The radiographic healing rate at week 52 of treatment was 75.0% (21/28), and the radiographic remission rate was 92.9% (26/28). The endoscopic remission rate was 57.1% (16/28), and the endoscopic response rate was 82.1% (23/28) . Conclusion:The long-term clinical healing rate of active CD patients with perianal fistula receiving surgery combined with UST is high, and the anal function can be improved significantly.

Objective:To understand the current status of epidemiological investigation task force construction and the performance of infectious disease epidemic response in county (district) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCs) in China, analyze the influencing factors and provide scientific evidence to improve the construction of grassroot epidemiological investigation task force.Methods:A survey was conducted in epidemiological investigation staff in county (district) CDCs in 31 provinces (autonomous regions/municipalities) and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps in China. A self-designed questionnaire was used to collect information based on the epidemiological dynamic data collection platform of China CDC. A descriptive epidemiological analysis was conducted, and multiple linear regression models were used to identify the factors associated with the performance of infectious disease epidemic response.Results:A total of 24 934 epidemiological investigation task force members from 2 897 county (district) CDCs were surveyed in the study. In the epidemiological investigation task force, women, those with bachelor's degree and public health workers accounted for 62.46%, 71.36%, and 49.05% respectively. Up to 91.72% of the task force members had participated in field epidemic response. The average score of awareness of epidemic investigation procedures was 60.00, while the average score of key skill proficiency in the investigation was 42.22. The epidemic response performance showed correlations with area, gender, age, education level, major, and field epidemiology training programs, those who had received longer training showed higher competency scores (all P<0.001). Conclusions:Progress has been made in the construction of epidemiological investigation task force in grass-root CDCs in China, but further improvements are needed, especially in the knowledge awareness and investigation skills of the task force. Field epidemiology training demonstrated substantial impact on the improvement of epidemic response performance, indicating that it is necessary to further strengthen the training in grassroot public health workers for the better response to infectious disease epidemics.

ObjectiveTo explore the data standard system of electronic medical records in the field of rehabilitation, focusing on the terminology and coding standards, data structure, and key content categories of rehabilitation electronic medical records. MethodsBased on the Administrative Norms for the Application of Electronic Medical Records issued by the National Health Commission of China, the electronic medical record standard architecture issued by the International Organization for Standardization and Health Level Seven (HL7), the framework of the World Health Organization Family of International Classifications (WHO-FICs), Basic Architecture and Data Standards of Electronic Medical Records, Basic Data Set of Electronic Medical Records, and Specifications for Sharing Documents of Electronic Medical Records, the study constructed and organized the data structure, content, and data standards of rehabilitation electronic medical records. ResultsThe data structure of rehabilitation electronic medical records should strictly follow the structure of electronic medical records, including four levels (clinical document, document section, data set and data element) and four major content areas (basic information, diagnostic information, intervention information and cost information). Rehabilitation electronic medical records further integrated information related to rehabilitation needs and characteristics, emphasizing rehabilitation treatment, into clinical information. By fully applying the WHO-FICs reference classifications, rehabilitation electronic medical records could establish a standardized framework, diagnostic criteria, functional description tools, coding tools and terminology index tools for the coding, indexing, functional description, and analysis and interpretation of diseases and health problems. The study elaborated on the data structure and content categories of rehabilitation electronic medical records in four major categories, refined the granularity of reporting rehabilitation content in electronic medical records, and provided detailed data reporting guidance for rehabilitation electronic medical records. ConclusionThe standardization of rehabilitation electronic medical records is significant for improving the quality of rehabilitation medical services and promoting the rehabilitation process of patients. The development of rehabilitation electronic medical records must be based on the national and international standards. Under the general electronic medical records data structure and standards, a rehabilitation electronic medical records data system should be constructed which incorporates core data such as disease diagnosis, functional description and assessment, and rehabilitation interventions. The standardized rehabilitation electronic medical records scheme constructed in this study can support the improvement of standardization of rehabilitation electronic medical records data information.
