Objective:To construct an integrated early rehabilitation program for healthcare and rehabilitation system based on the information-motivation-behavioral skills (IMB) model and evaluate its application effect in patients treated with total hip arthroplasty (THA).Methods:Construction of the rehabilitation program: An integrated research team was established, composed of head burse of orthopedics, orthopedic nursing specialists, orthopedic surgeons, anesthesiologists, and rehabilitation therapists. Considering the key points of perioperative early rehabilitation of THA patients, an integrated early rehabilitation program was constructed based on the IMB model through literature review and expert panel method. Clinical application of the rehabilitation program: A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 100 THA patients admitted to Qingdao Municipal Hospital from March to December 2023, including 47 males and 53 females, aged 60-85 years [(69.8±5.5)years]. Patients were divided into two groups according to their admission time: 50 patients admitted from March to July 2023, receiving routine care (routine care group) and 50 admitted from August to December 2023, receiving intervention through an early rehabilitation program of an integrated healthcare and rehabilitation system based on routine care (integrated care group). The first postoperative ambulation time and length of hospital stay were compared between the two groups. The Harris hip function score was used to assess hip function in both groups at 3 days, 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively; the Barthel index was used to assess the daily living self-care capacity in both groups preoperatively, at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. The incidence of complications within 6 months after surgery was compared between the two groups.Results:An early integrated rehabilitation program based on the IMB model comprised 25 specific measures of three domains: information support, motivational intervention, and behavioral skills. All the patients were followed up for 6 months. The first postoperative ambulation time and length of hospital stay in the integrated care group were (1.3±0.5)days and (7.4±2.3)days, shorter than (1.5±0.5)days and (8.5±2.3)days in the routine care group ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the Harris hip function scores at 3 days postoperatively or preoperative Barthel index between the two groups ( P>0.05). At 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively, the Harris hip function scores in the integrated care group were (80.3±6.0)points, (88.6±5.2)points, and (92.5±4.1)points, respectively, higher than (75.1±6.3)points, (84.2±5.7)points, and (88.0±5.2)points in the routine care group ( P<0.01); the Barthel index in the integrated care group were (79.2±8.7)points, (87.7±5.7)points, and (92.3±4.9)points, respectively, higher than (72.1±9.0)points, (83.5±6.6)points, and (88.6±5.0)points in the routine care group ( P<0.01). At 6 months postoperatively, the incidence of complications in the integrated care group was 4% (2/50), lower than 16% (8/50) in the routine care group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with the routine care, an integrated early rehabilitation program for medical care and health based on the information-motivation-behavioral skills model for THA patients can shorten the first postoperative ambulation time and length of hospital stay, restore hip joint function, improve daily living self-care capacity and reduce the incidence of complications.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics of children with mitochondrial short-chain enoyl-CoA hydratase-1 deficiency (ECHS1D) caused by c.489G>A (p.Pro163=) compound heterozygous variants in the ECHS1 gene, and to explore genotype-phenotype correlations.Methods:A case series study was performed to analyze clinical, biochemical, metabolic, imaging, genetic, treatment and follow-up outcomes of 24 children with ECHS1 gene c.489G>A(p.Pro163=) variant, who were diagnosed in the Department of Neurology, Beijing Children′s Hospital from July 2010 to June 2024. Disease severity was assessed using the Newcastle Paediatric Mitochondrial Disease Scale, and Fisher exact test was applied to compare the improvement rate between valine-restricted and non-restricted groups.Results:These 24 children were all diagnosed after 2022, with a disease duration of 3.35 (1.25, 6.52) years at diagnosis. A total of 8 children initially had negative genetic results, and were finally confirmed by abnormal splicing of ECHS1 gene via skin fibroblast RNA sequencing, with the longest diagnostic time of 14 years. All 24 children presented with Leigh syndrome, including 11 boys and 13 girls, with an onset age of 1.46 (0.96, 2.79) years; 16 children (67%) were mild cases. Common initial symptoms included developmental delay (9 cases) and paroxysmal dystonia (9 cases), followed by developmental regression (3 cases), nystagmus (2 cases), and epilepsy (1 case). Main manifestations were dystonia (18 cases), developmental regression (14 cases), nystagmus (12 cases), developmental delay (11 cases), ataxia (10 cases), vision loss (9 cases), seizures (2 cases), and hearing impairment (1 case). Among 22 children who underwent blood and urine metabolic screening, 21 children (95%) had elevated urinary 2, 3-dihydroxy-2-methylbutyric acid and 19 children (86%) had elevated urinary S-(2-hydroxypropyl) cysteamine. All 24 children had symmetric abnormal signals in bilateral globus pallidus on cranial magnetic resonance imaging, 10 children had isolated globus pallidus involvement, and other common involved sites included caudate nucleus and brainstem (9 cases each), putamen (7 cases), and cerebral white matter (5 cases). At last follow-up, all 24 children survived, with a follow-up duration of 5.40 (2.75, 8.02) years and a maximum age of 17.8 years; 17 children (71%) had varying degrees of clinical improvement. There was no statistical difference in the improvement rate between children with or without valine-restricted diet (12/14 vs. 5/8, P=0.309). A total of 18 pathogenic variants in the ECHS1 gene were identified among 24 children, 13 of which were distributed in exons 7 and 8; those carrying c.308T>C, c.523G>A, c.796A>G, and c.832G>A variants were mostly severe cases. Conclusions:Children carrying ECHS1 gene c.489G>A(p.Pro163=) compound heterozygous variants face significant diagnostic delay. Clinical awareness of this synonymous variant needs further improvement for timely diagnosis. All these cases present as Leigh syndrome, mostly mild, with no clear genotype-phenotype correlation identified.

Objective:To summarize the long-term efficacy of nicotinamide in treating pediatric early-onset progressive encephalopathy with brain edema and (or) leukoencephalopathy-2 (PEBEL2) caused by NAXD gene variation .Methods:This was a case report conducted from February 2019 to January 2025. The long-term efficacy of nicotinamide was observed by following up a child with PEBEL2 who received the treatment in the Department of Neurology, Beijing Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University. The clinical data included changes in skin lesions, neurological symptoms. The modified Rankin scale (mRS) was used to evaluate the recovery of neurological function.Results:A boy was diagnosed with PEBEL2 caused by NAXD gene variation via genetic testing at Beijing Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University in February 2019, when he was 4 years and 6 months of age. Immediately after diagnosis, nicotinamide treatment was initiated at an initial dose of 100 mg/d, which was increased by 100 mg per week and gradually increased to 500 mg/d; meanwhile, other therapeutic drugs were gradually discontinued. After 1 year and 8 months of treatment, the child′s skin lesions had completely resolved; at the 2-year follow-up, dystonia in both upper limbs and swallowing dysfunction was alleviated significantly; by 2.5-year follow-up, his cognitive function also showed improvement. When the child was treated with 500 mg/d for 3 years, a rash appeared around the mouth. After the dose was reduced to 250 mg/d, the rash resolved, and the dose of 250 mg/d was maintained until the last follow-up. At the last follow-up in January 2025, the child was 10 years and 5 months of age. His mRS score decreased from 5 (before treatment) to 4. During the 6-year of continuous nicotinamide treatment, the child′s condition remained stable without progression. Drug-related skin rashes occurred, but no severe drug-related adverse reactions were observed.Conclusions:PEBEL2 is a treatable mitochondrial disease. Nicotinamide treatment can effectively improve skin lesions and neurological symptoms in PEBEL2 patients, and the long-term administration demonstrates a favorable safety profile.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Jianpi Bushen Prescription in treating acute gouty arthritis with spleen-kidney deficiency syndrome using propensity score matching method.Methods:A retrospective analysis method was used to select 156 patients with acute gouty arthritis with spleen kidney deficiency type admitted from March 2022 to March 2024. They were divided into an observation group of 89 cases and a control group of 67 cases according to the treatment method. Propensity score matching (PSM) was further adopted to balance the confounding factors before treatment in a 1:1 ratio. Finally, 42 patients in each group were successfully matched. The control group received conventional Western medicine, the observation group received additional treatment with Jianpi Bushen Prescription on the basis of the control group. The treatment for both groups lasted for 1 month. TCM syndrome scores were performed before and after treatment, and the levels of serum uric acid (UA), ESR, and pH were measured using an automatic dry biochemical analyzer. The VAS scale was used to assess the degree of pain, the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) was used to evaluate the degree of joint function improvement, and the Quality of Life Scale-36 (SF-36) was used to evaluate the quality of life of patients. Adverse reactions during treatment were observed and recorded to evaluate clinical efficacy.Results:The total effective rate of the observation group 92.86% (39/42) was higher than that of the control group 73.81% (31/42), with statistical significance ( χ2=5.49, P<0.05). After treatment, the joint pain, soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, poor flexion and extension, and pale and greasy tongue coating, were lower than those in the control group ( t values were 3.38, 4.26, 3.96, 3.97, 4.41, respectively, P<0.01). After treatment, the serum uric acid (UA) [(351.84±36.46) μmol/L vs. (380.19±39.42) μmol/L, t=3.42] and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) [(17.91±3.71) mm/h vs. (21.43±3.90) mm/h, t=4.24] of the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the pH value (7.24±0.49 vs. 6.98±0.57, t=2.24) was higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05). After treatment, the VAS and ODI of the observation group were lower than those of the control group ( t values were 5.80, 6.25, respectively, P<0.01), and the SF-36 score was higher than that of the control group ( t=3.23, P<0.05). During the treatment, the incidence of adverse reactions was 14.29% (6/42) in the observation group and 9.52% (4/42) in the control group. There was no statistical significance in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups ( χ2=0.45, P>0.05). Conclusions:Jianpi Bushen Prescription has good efficacy on the treatment of acute gouty arthritis with spleen-kidney deficiency syndrome. It can reduce the levels of uric acid, improve the life quality of patients, and enhance efficacy, with good treatment safety.
