ObjectiveTo investigate the screen exposure situation and its determinants among children aged 0‒3 years, so as to offer insights for intervening in children’s screen exposure. MethodsA total of 1 797 children who received routine physical examinations in Shaoxing Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from January 2024 to December 2024 were enrolled. A self-designed screen exposure questionnaire was used to collect demographic information for children, educational attainment of parents and main caregivers, contents of video screen exposure, and video devices. The screen exposure rate among children was analyzed, and a multivariable logistic regression model was used to analyze its influencing factors. ResultsAmong the 1 797 children aged 0‒3 years, 935 were boys (52.03%), and 862 were girls (47.97%). The mean age was (21.81±9.97) months old. A total of 335 infants and toddlers had an average daily cumulative screen exposure >1 hour over the past week, with a screen exposure rate of 18.64%. Multivariable logistic regression analyses showed that the risk of screen exposure was higher with each one-year increase in the child’s age (OR=1.90, 95%CI: 1.58‒2.28), with cartoons or nursery rhymes as the main video content (OR=2.09, 95%CI: 1.27‒3.44; OR=1.75, 95%CI: 1.02‒2.97, respectively), and with watching videos during the period for meals or for parents doing housework, or before bedtime (OR=3.51, 95%CI: 2.08‒5.92; OR=2.92, 95%CI: 1.75‒4.88; OR=2.01, 95%CI: 1.16‒3.49, respectively). In contrast, higher maternal educational levels (OR=0.67, 95%CI:0.49‒0.92) were associated with a reduced rate of screen exposure. ConclusionAmong children aged 0‒3 years, their screen exposure is associated with their age, maternal educational level, screen content, and time of video watching. The departments should strengthen the education on screen exposure for older children and the mothers with lower education, while advocating for parents to scientifically and normatively manage screen content and time.

Objective To evaluate the cost-utility of risdiplam in the treatment of pediatric spinal muscular atrophy （SMA） and analyze changes in patients’ out-of-pocket economic burden under the medical insurance scenarios. Methods A Markov model was developed from the healthcare system perspective to compare the long-term costs and quality-adjusted life years （QALYs） of risdiplam treatment versus conventional therapy. The incremental cost-utility ratio （ICUR） was calculated. One-way sensitivity analysis and probabilistic sensitivity analysis were conducted to assess the robustness of the model. On this basis, health insurance scenarios were simulated to evaluate patients’ individual economic burden. Results Base-case analysis showed that risdiplam treatment generated additional health benefits but substantially increased medical costs. The resulting ICUR did not demonstrate a clear cost-utility advantage under the current willingness-to-pay threshold. Sensitivity analyses indicated that the model results were relatively robust, with drug costs and key utility parameters being the main drivers of economic outcomes. Health insurance scenario analysis demonstrated that increasing reimbursement levels and reducing patient copayment rates could significantly alleviate patients’ financial burden. Conclusion Risdiplam for pediatric SMA faces economic challenges under the current health insurance payment framework in China. However, optimizing health insurance reimbursement policies and developing multi-tiered healthcare security mechanisms may improve its affordability and accessibility.

ObjectiveMagnetoencephalography (MEG), a non-invasive neuroimaging technique, meticulously captures the magnetic fields emanating from brain electrical activity. Compared with MEG based on superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUID), MEG based on optically pump magnetometer (OPM) has the advantages of higher sensitivity, better spatial resolution and lower cost. However, most of the current studies are clinical studies, and there is a lack of animal studies on MEG based on OPM technology. Pain, a multifaceted sensory and emotional phenomenon, induces intricate alterations in brain activity, exhibiting notable sex differences. Despite clinical revelations of pain-related neuronal activity through MEG, specific properties remain elusive, and comprehensive laboratory studies on pain-associated brain activity alterations are lacking. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of inflammatory pain (induced by Complete Freund’s Adjuvant (CFA)) on brain activity in a rat model using the MEG technique, to analysis changes in brain activity during pain perception, and to explore sex differences in pain-related MEG signaling. MethodsThis study utilized adult male and female Sprague-Dawley rats. Inflammatory pain was induced via intraplantar injection of CFA (100 μl, 50% in saline) in the left hind paw, with control groups receiving saline. Pain behavior was assessed using von Frey filaments at baseline and 1 h post-injection. For MEG recording, anesthetized rats had an OPM positioned on their head within a magnetic shield, undergoing two 15-minute sessions: a 5-minute baseline followed by a 10-minute mechanical stimulation phase. Data analysis included artifact removal and time-frequency analysis of spontaneous brain activity using accumulated spectrograms, generating spectrograms focused on the 4-30 Hz frequency range. ResultsMEG recordings in anesthetized rats during resting states and hind paw mechanical stimulation were compared, before and after saline/CFA injections. Mechanical stimulation elevated alpha activity in both male and female rats pre- and post-saline/CFA injections. Saline/CFA injections augmented average power in both sexes compared to pre-injection states. Remarkably, female rats exhibited higher average spectral power 1 h after CFA injection than after saline injection during resting states. Furthermore, despite comparable pain thresholds measured by classical pain behavioral tests post-CFA treatment, female rats displayed higher average power than males in the resting state after CFA injection. ConclusionThese results imply an enhanced perception of inflammatory pain in female rats compared to their male counterparts. Our study exhibits sex differences in alpha activities following CFA injection, highlighting heightened brain alpha activity in female rats during acute inflammatory pain in the resting state. Our study provides a method for OPM-based MEG recordings to be used to study brain activity in anaesthetized animals. In addition, the findings of this study contribute to a deeper understanding of pain-related neural activity and pain sex differences.

Objective To study the trend in the burden of colorectal cancer attributed to high body mass index (BMI) in China from 1990 to 2021, and to predict the mortality rate from 2022 to 2035. Methods Based on the 2021 Global Burden of Disease data, this paper analyzed the trends of colorectal cancer mortality and Disability-adjusted Life Years (DALY) rates and their standardized rates attributed to high BMI in China from 1990 to 2021, and calculated their average annual percent change (AAPC). Age-period-cohort (APC) models were applied to assess the age, period, and cohort effects on mortality, and the Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) models were used to predict the mortality rate of colorectal cancer attributed to high BMI in China from 2022 to 2035. Results From 1990 to 2021, the standardized mortality rate (Age-standardized Mortality Rate, ASMR) and standardized DALY rate (Age-standardized Disability-adjusted Life Years Rate, ASDR) of colorectal cancer caused by high BMI in China increased significantly, and the ranking of risk factors rose from 9th to 5th and 4th respectively, with AAPC values of 2.43% (95%CI: 2.29-2.57) and 2.33% (95% CI: 2.21-2.46), which outpaced the global and each Socio-demographic Index (SDI) regions. The disease burden of male was significantly higher than that of female, and the net drifts in mortality rate of colorectal cancer associated with high BMI were 2.37 times higher than females. In addition, the mortality rate increased significantly with age, and showed a year-on-year increasing trend, and the cohort effect also showed a higher risk of death. It was predicted that the mortality rate of colorectal cancer attributed to high BMI in China will continue to rise in the future, increasing by 53.06% from 2022 to 2035. Conclusion In China, the disease burden of colorectal cancer attributed to high BMI continues to increase, especially in the male and elderly population. The colorectal burden associated with high BMI should be reduced by optimizing public health policies, including promoting healthy diet, enhancing weight management, promoting physical activity, and improving cancer screening strategies.

Objective To understand the current situation of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in China,pro-vide data support and decision-making basis for formulating scientific and effective strategies for HAI prevention and control.Methods A nationwide cross-sectional survey on HAI was conducted among various types and levels of medical institutions in China according to a unified protocol of bedside surveys and case investigations.Results In 2024,a total of 5 736 medical institutions and 2 751 765 patients were surveyed.Among them,34 889 HAI cases were identified,with a prevalence rate of 1.27％.The number of HAI episodes was 38 032,and case prevalence rate was 1.38％.The prevalence rate of HAI in medical institutions in different regions of China ranged from 0.66％to 2.35％.Among medical institutions of different scales,those with a bed capacity of ≥900 had the high-est incidence of HAI,reaching 1.65％.The most common infection site was the lower respiratory tract(44.66％),followed by the urinary tract(12.94％),surgical site(9.32％),upper respiratory tract(7.02％),and bloodstream infection(5.78％).The top 3 departments with the highest HAI rates were the general intensive care unit(10.02％),department of neurosurgery(5.51％),and department(group)of hematology(5.34％).A total of 23 238 strains of HAI pathogens were detected,with 10 714 strains(46.10％)from lower respiratory tract speci-mens.The top 5 detected strains were Klebsiella pneumoniae(14.76％),Pseudomonas aeruginosa(13.33％),Escherichia coli(12.79％),Acinetobacter baumannii(9.23％),and Staphylococcus aureus(7.88％).231 944 pa-tients underwent class Ⅰ incision surgery were monitored,with 1 647 cases experienced surgical site infection,and the prevalence rate of surgical site infection was 0.71％.The number of patients who should undergo pathogen de-tection(patients receiving therapeutic and therapeutic combined prophylactic antimicrobial agents)was 715 179,while the actual number was 480 492,with a pathogen detection rate of 67.18％.425 225 patients received patho-genic detection before treatment,with a detection rate of 59.46％.Conclusion The overall HAI prevalence in Chi-na is lower,showing disparities among medical institutions of different regions and scales.Therefore,precise imple-mentation of measures is necessary for HAI prevention and control,with a focus on high-risk institutions and high-risk departments,key areas,and critical procedures.All levels of medical institutions should continuously reduce the incidence of HAI by strengthening monitoring,standardizing the use of antimicrobial agents,and reinforcing basic HAI prevention and control measures.

Objective:To evaluate the preservation efficacy of 7 non-inactivating virus preservation solutions.Methods:Equal amounts of H1N1 virus were added to 7 commercially available non-inactivating virus preservation solutions, and the samples were stored at -20 ℃, 4 ℃, 25 ℃ and 37 ℃ for 1 hour, 6 hours, 1 day, 3 days, and 5 days. The viral nucleic acid in each simulated sample under different storage conditions was measured using real-time quantitative PCR. The hemagglutination (HA) titer was determined through viral isolation culture and hemagglutination assay, comparing the differences in viral growth activity across different storage solutions and conditions.Results:Except for solution E, the other solutions effectively protected viral nucleic acid at the 4 storage temperatures. In terms of viral activity, solutions A, B, C, and D effectively maintained viral viability. A and B showing the best performance, E and F showed poorer performance, and G performed the worst.Conclusions:Most non-inactivating virus preservation solutions effectively protect viral nucleic acid, but there are significant differences in their ability to maintain viral viability. To ensure optimal virus preservation, it is recommended that medical institutions evaluate the effectiveness of preservation solutions before use.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of urea cycle disorder (UCD), the efficacy and safety of glyceryl phenylbutyrate (GPB) therapy in pediatric patients with UCD.Methods:This study was a retrospective, single-arm, multicenter clinical study. The clinical data of 20 pediatric patients with UCD who received GPB treatment at 9 hospitals nationwide between December 2021 and August 2024 were collected. The clinical manifestations, laboratory results, and molecular genetic characteristics were analyzed, ammonia levels and other laboratory results were evaluated pre-post GPB therapy by paired t-tests or Wilcoxon tests. Results:Among the 20 pediatric patients with UCD, there were 8 males and 12 females, and the onset age was 2.8 (1.4, 5.7) years. The ammonia levels were 174 (125, 342) μmol/L at first onset. The symptoms included vomiting in 6 cases, drowsiness in 5 cases, epilepsy in 5 cases, developmental delay in 5 cases, psychiatric and behavioral abnormalities in 3 cases, and lethargy in 1 case, and 18 cases exhibited abnormal liver function. Twenty cases included 6 UCD subtypes, with 11 cases being ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency. A total of 27 variants were identified, 11 (41%) of which were novel. The age of patients who began GPB therapy was 4.0 (1.5, 6.6) years. Ten cases stopped GPB after 4.2 (3.4, 5.3) months, with 4 patients undergoing liver transplantation and 6 discontinuing for financial reasons. The remaining ten patients continued GPB therapy for 11.6 (8.6, 14.0) months. The duration of GPB treatment was 6.0 (4.2, 12.3) months, at the final visit, the levels of ammonia, platelets and aspartate aminotransferase were lower compared to those of pre-treatment (all P<0.05). The serum albumin level was higher than that of pre-treatment ( P=0.016). Two patients suffered only one episode of acute hyperammonaemia, with ammonia levels of 232 and 141 μmol/L, respectively. Nine cases experienced adverse effects potentially related to GPB, decreased appetite in 6 cases, vomiting in 3 cases, abnormal skin oil odor in 2 cases, somnolence, fatigue and diarrhea each in 1 case, with symptoms improved within 6 (3, 10) days. Conclusions:UCD primarily manifests with neurological and gastrointestinal symptoms, and early diagnosis of UCD could be achieved through the analysis of ammonia. GPB may effectively reduce ammonia levels in UCD pediatric patients, with favorable safety and tolerability.

Objective:To evaluate left ventricular function and myocardial ischemia in patients with different degrees of left anterior descending（LAD）coronary artery stenosis by using post-stress regional myocardial work（MW）and coronary flow reserve（CFR），and to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of each parameter for different degrees of stenosis in the LAD.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 76 patients with suspected coronary artery disease who underwent coronary angiography and attended the Fourth Affliiated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from January 2023 to June 2024. According to the degree of LAD stenosis，30 cases were categorized into the mild stenosis group（stenosis < 50%），25 cases in the moderate stenosis group（50%≤stenosis < 70%），and 21 cases in the severe stenosis group（70% ≤ stenosis ≤ 90%）. Transthoracic Doppler echocardiography was applied to obtain CFR LAD. Longitudinal strain in the left anterior descending region（LS LAD），peak strain dispersion（PSD），left anterior descending region work index（WI LAD）and left anterior descending region work efficiency（WE LAD）were obtained at rest and under stress，respectively. The LAD regional MW indexes were compared between the groups in two pairs. The correlation between CFR LAD and the degree of LAD stenosis was analyzed. ROC curves were plotted to compare the diagnostic efficacy of LAD regional MW parameters and CFR LAD for moderate and severe LAD stenosis. Results:①At rest：compared with the mild stenosis group，the absolute value of LS LAD，WI LAD，and WE LAD were reduced in the severe stenosis group，and the differences were statistically significant（all P < 0.05）. Compared with the moderate stenosis group，WE LAD was reduced in the severe stenosis group，and the difference was statistically significant（ P < 0.05）. Differences in two-by-two comparisons between groups in the resting state for the remaining parameters were not statistically significant（all P > 0.05）. Under stress：compared with the mild stenosis group，the absolute values of LS LAD，WI LAD，and WE LAD were reduced in the moderate and severe stenosis groups，and the PSD was increased in the severe stenosis group，and the differences were statistically significant（all P < 0.05）. Compared with the moderate stenosis group，the absolute values of LS LAD，WI LAD，and WE LAD were reduced in the severe stenosis group，and the differences were statistically significant（all P < 0.05）. Differences between two-by-two comparisons between groups in the remaining parameters at loading state were not statistically significant（all P > 0.05）. ②CFR LAD was negatively correlated with the degree of LAD stenosis（ r = -0.809， P < 0.05）. ③The ROC curves showed that the peak WE LAD of the regional MW parameters predicated the largest area under the ROC curve（AUC）for moderate and severe stenosis in LAD，0.803 and 0.897，respectively，with cutoff values of 92.5% and 91.5%. The cutoffs of CFR LAD ≤ 2.5 and CFR LAD ≤ 2.0 predicted the greatest AUC for moderate and severe stenosis in LAD at 0.743 and 0.901，respectively. Peak WE LAD combined with CFR LAD predicted the greatest AUC for moderate and severe stenosis in LAD at 0.826 and 0.967，respectively. Conclusions:Regional MW parameters and CFR LAD can sensitively detect left ventricular hypo-function in patients with different degrees of stenosis in LAD. Peak WE LAD and CFR LAD are reliable predictors of moderate and severe stenosis in LAD. A combination of the two techniques can significantly improve diagnostic efficacy.
